SOUTHERN RATES
 MAY BE REVISED
Eastman Recommends In terstate Adjustment On
 Single Scale

WASHINGTON, March 17.--A gen. eral plan of readjustmnet of class freight rates within southern territory and between that territory and official classification territory was recommend ed to the interstate commerce commis- sion by Commissioner Eastman in a report covering his southern class rate investigation. The proposal embodies a plan for revising all of the interstate class rates and suggests the passing of these rate applications upon a single distance scale.
 The commissioner suggested that a period of 40 days be allowed for the filing of exceptions to his plan before action is taken before the commission.
 Recognition is given to certain broad differences in transportation conditions by the use of Constructive mileages lower or higher than actual mileages for certain hauls."
 The basis recommended. is intended, the report added, to supercede all ad- justments heretofore prescribed by the commission with reference to all or any of the rates in issue.
 Mir. Eastman also explained that it had been the endeavor to construct the proposed distance scale in such way that it can justly and reasonably be used as a guide in the revision of in trastate rates and for the purpose of bringing about harmony between these and interstate rates within the south ern territory.

He is said to have admitted to the police that he paid the man $150 for the killing.

ELK HILLS FIELD
 PLACEDNHANDS OF 2 RECEIVERS
Certain Frauds Alleged In Pomerene's Request n
 For Safeguard

ao LOS ANGELES, March 17.-The first day in the legal battle between the government of the United States and the Doheny interests over Elk Hills naval reserve oil leases closed after two court sessions which resulted in the ap- pointment of two receivers to preserve the status quota in the debated territory.
 Real Admiral Harry H. Rosseau, was named at the suggestion of Atlee Pomerene government counsel, and J. c. Anderson, president of the Pan Ameri- can. Petroleum company, a defendant in the suit, was appointed by the court . logg, general counsel for the oil con- ! pany.
 Government counsel announced that -aan expert was coming from Washington to go over the Elk Hills field to de- termine whether permit would be grant Led to drill wells to offset drainage from .ethe outside.
 = Bald legal phraseology, decisive court sproceedure and general air of digni- fled debate characterized the first spe- icial session here in the stirring of the s.Elk Hills oil pool, in contrast to the resounding splutter that featured the hearings at Washington.
 Former Senator Pomerene made his statement, alleging in unimpressing tones that there had been certain frauds" in granting the leases and ''ir- regular and illegar' procedure in award ing the contract for the drilling of offset wells. He continued without raising a ripple from the surface of the hearing to point out that the government claims no authority for granting the leases, nor for the execution of the con tracts, because of lack of authority to make them."
 His statement concluded. Mir. Pom rene placed in the record affidavits by Secretary of the Interior Work and Acting Secretary of the Navy ROose- welt expressing their belief that the present suit was necessary.

THAW FACES TRIAL
 IF DECLARED SANE
Indictment For Kidnapping Still
 Stands In New York

NEW YORK, March Hilary K. Thaw, the slayer of Stanford White, will face prosecution ill New York on charges growing out of the Kidnapping of Frederick Gump of Kansas City in the event that he is declared sane by a Pennsylvania jury and set at liberty.
 District Attorney Joab Banton de- clares that settlement of young Gump's suit by the Thaw estate will not free Thaw from liability of prosecution under an indictment on these charges returned against Thaw here January Il, 1917. The millionaire escaped prose- cution at the time because his commit ment to the Pennsylvania Hospital for the Insane at Philadelphia prevented his being brought here for trial.
 If Thaw is declared sane and re- leased, we will proceed as with any other indictment" said Banton. '"The offense charged is an extraditable one. I can take no notice of the reported settlement of the civil suit, my duty be- ing to press prosecution of the indict- mentS"
