CONTINENTAL RATES
MAY DECLINE G.
United Kingdom Conference
Opens Automobile Schedule
to Reductions.

Freight rates on shipments to Europe
were weak Yesterday, in consequence OF
the action of the Continental conference
the day previous in abandoning fixed
tariffs on the commodities now making
UP the bulk Of eastbound cargoes. Little
actual business was done. as shippers
were concerned mainly in obtaining quo
tations and otherwise testing out the
market, but the indications were that the
average of reductions would be close to
20 per cent
The United Kingdom conference met
in the afternoon and threw open the rate
on automobiles. but otherwise took no
drastic action. Automobiles had been
rated at S12 ton. but this was being
constantly shaded on large shipments.
Reports that the aggressive policy of the
United American Lines had been mainly
responsible for the break in Continental
rates were not denied by Christian ].
Beck, traffic manager. but he said that
the majority OF the lines had been in
favor OF the action. He did not regard
1t as the beginning of a rate war. but
rather as putting the lines In position to
meet promptly the competition of the
Reardon Smith Line and the Lloyd
Royal Beige. which had been persistently
underwriting the conference tariffs.
Questioned regarding reports that the
United American Lines had welcomed
the rate disturbances as likely to result
In the elimination of some of the rivals
OF the MISUNDERSTANDING American
group in the Hamburg trade, Mr.. Beck
pointed out that the competing lines
were mainly large and powerful organi-
cations, and said that no battle YER
rates was desired.
Rates opened by the Continental con-
ference were on the following commodi-
ties: Acetate of lime, acetone, asphalt.
beans, broom root. canned goods, cattle
feed, cedar pencils Stats, crude oil, dried
fruits. gasoline. glucose, hair. hides.
kerosene. lubricating oil. malt. canned.
condensed and powdered milk. nickel,
burning oil. oyster shells. peas. phosphate
Of soda, potash. bichromate of soda,
quick malt, rags. seeds, sugar, wax,
nickel shot. Grain. -four and provisions
previously had been declared open.
The Baltic Scandinavian conference
will meet to-day to consider what action
Is necessary by the German competition.
Rates controlled by this conference have
usually been somewhat above those In
the Continental. but lately. 1t is said.
some OF the Hamburg lines have been
accepting freight to be transshiped for
Scandinavian ports at the same rate as
on shipments destined only for the Ger
man port.

SHIPPING BOARD SELLS
81 WOODEN VESSELS

Pendleton Brothers. 100 Pearl street
have purchased thirty-one wooden ves-
sells from the Shipping Board, 1t was
learned yesterday. The price was re-
ported as 100000 for the lot, but this the
local office would not confirm In the
absence of Fields Pendleton. who was in
Texas examining the newly acquired
fleet. The ships cost about 100000 each
to build.
stanch believers in the wooden ship.
apparently the only ones In American
marine circles. the Pendletons already
have sixteen schooners and five wooden
steamers in service. mostly employed In
the coastwise carrying of coal and lum-
Der. with occasional tramp voyages to
South America. The lately acquired YES
sells are to be stripped and turned into
coal barges. TO be towed on coastwise
trips by the steamers.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY AND
RACE PREJUDICE,

The charge that the President Of
Harvard University and his supporters
are backing up racial discrimination.
not against Negroes. but against tho
ment, but with more amazemant. 1t Is
explained that the University has more
applications for membership in tho
student body than it can accommodate
and that some method must he found
TO reduce the number. The Jews consti
tute eighteen per cent. Of the member.
ship and this has produced an cmbar.
RAISING situation. The management
denies that there Is any intention 10
discriminate on account Of race. but
an effort is being made to find a bass
upon hich to reduce tho attendance.
We have never understood why there
should ho any other basis than that OF
efficiency. If tho Jew out-strips the
other students in intellectual attain
mcnts, lot him have the right Of way.
Viewed from any standpoint. the i'll
crease Of race prejudice against the
Negro must necessarily increase race
prejudice against other classes Of pco.
pie. The Ku KluX Khan began its cam
paign against the black man and tho
Ku KluN Khan soon began a campaign
against the Roman Catholics. The only
safe course Of action is an observance
Of the divine commands, tho practicing
Of the principles and preccpts of tho
good and lowly Jesus.
When the time comes that the cnos-
ell people of God cannot secure their
rights and privileges in this country.
then the time Will have come for tire
destruction Of tho American Govern
ment as a Republic. Living in Russia
will he preferable to suffering and dy.
ing in land, the rulers Of which have
forsaken the principles and teachings
Of the Fathers.

DIR. KERLIN'S PLEA.

DR.. Robert T. Kerlin Of Lexington
in his address in this city last Monday
night took high ground in dealing with
fundamental principles. Those, who
seem to think that he is championing
the cause Of tho Negroes as such ara
sadly mistaken. He is championins
the cause Of the Negroes only because
the oppression Of this class of people
comes in line with the principles.
which he has advocated. He Is a cham
pion Of the oppressed peoples every.
where and believer in the exercise Of
freedom Of speech and thought in keep
ing with the ideals Of tire founders Of
this Republic.
Men of his type rise at intervals in
n nations history and they cannot be
swayed from their course of action or
howled down. DR.. Kerlin is white
man. He is a southerner, having been
born In the State, where oppression
and tyranny have never been able to
'AAAN - aouSii6 pldSC as dppllSO 10 Inc
white man. 1t may be that during our
life time, an awakening will take place
and free thought and FREQ action may
be again enthroneil in this country Of
ours. DR.. Kerlin paid a tribute to Hon.
Eugene v. Debs. We have always bc
lieved In Debs' sincerity and we have
. always been Of the opinion that i'm i'm
prisoning him. this country made a
martyr Of ono Of the noblest and great
est characters in history.
We say this too, while not subscrib.
Ing to Eugene v. Dsbs tenets Or his
teachings. He has as much right to his
opinions as we have to our. opinions
and no has the right to express those
opinton". This agitation will 20 on
until justice Is triumphant and right
viii be accorded to all citizens in this
asepublic. Little men have little minds
and some little mon have bic mind,
and some big men have little minds.
Dr.. Robert T. Kerlin carries with him
the voice OF one crying in the wilder.
