''Shot to Pieces" by Heavy
Influx of Mobiles.

Train schedules at Union Station
were literally "shot to bits" today
as a result of the unprecedented In

said, has the schedule of incoming

don't expect to be able to clear up
the schedules until after the conVen-
ton. It would be physically impos-
sible to do so at this time"
Trains scheduled to arrive IN
Washington at 1880 o'clock this
morning, carrying commuters to
their places of employment in the
Capital, arrived at 10 and 1o:SO
O'Clock.
Regular passenger trains were
held UP In the yards for several
hours while the special trains bear
ing the visiting Shriners and their
families were lowed into the depot,
An unusual quirk in the time table
n,txup occurred when one train from
the West, due to arrive in Wash

morning. It was a Shrine speclai

CINCINNAU, June 29.-Existence
of government merchant tonnage
saved the American wheat raiser last
year many times the annual cost of
operation of the fleet, Commissioner
p. c. Plummer of the Shipping Board
declared last night in an address be-
fore the Middle West Foreign Trade
Convention. An indication of the eff
feet of eliminating that tonnage from
seaborne traffic can be gained, he
said. from the recent experiences of
the oil trade.
Last January" Mr.. Plummer said
when the great fleet of American
tankers was available for service the
rates from Mexico across the At
lantio were los Cd per ton. The
change in Mexican supply and the
forcing of American tankers into
long voyages from the Pacific coast
with oil. calling for three times the
run upon which they were previous
Iy occupied, removed the surplus ton
mage from the oil trade; and imme-
dtately the British shipowner raised
his rates until today they are prac-
tically three times what they were
five months ago.
