MEXICO CITY, Aug. 6.-Fear OF

today as three additional disappear

Two girls and one boy were

girls who have disappeared in the

FREIGHT RATES
ON DISTANCE
BASIS
!. C. C. In Decision Moves to
Build Entirely New struc-
ture-oId Evils to Pass
By HARRY WARD

The decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in the south
ern class freight rate case was re-
garded today by railroad experts as
being the first step in the building
of an entirely new rate structure
with a distance basis as one of the
fundamentals.
Under this decision, which affects
many commodities. and many sec,
lions of the country, distance will
be measured by the shortest exist
ing route between points. There
will be certain allowances for the
long and short haul clause of the
Interstate commerce act and for
competitive conditions.
Southern Case.
A similar case involving South
western class rates is now before
the commission for decision and it
Is believed the commission will
closely follow is rulings In the
Southern case in the case. to come.
The Southern case is also expected
to be used by the commission as a
basis for action when it begins hear
II;gs in Chicago on SEPTEMBER 8 on
the general freight rate structure
of the countr.
The Southern class rate case was
unique in its scope and in the OPP
portunity which it afforded for
fundamental consideration of freight
rates. At the outset the commas
sion took the stand that EVERY
reasonable effort should be made to
simplify the structure.
The new class rates." the COM
mission said. Should look also to
the future. They should be framed
to facilitate the elimination not only
OF special classification exceptions
but also of many commodity rates
which provoke complaints of dis
elimination and have no other ex-
cuse than an inadequate and imper-
feet class-rate structure
Significant was the announcement
of the commission that "the rail-
road rate structure of the country
is not the result of the application
of so-called scientific principles"
Z 1T is the product of the efforts
OF freight traffic managers seeking
maximum revenue for their re-
spective roads, modified to some ex-
tent by public regulation" the
commission added
Where competition has made it
necessary, the traffic managers
have always been ready to handle
freight at very low rates rather
than not handle it at all. 1t has
been, indeed, the presence of COM
petition at certain points and its
absence at others which have
caused most Of the confusion ina the
rate structure" 49,
In stipulating distance as the
basis for rates the commission has
taken a long step for
ward in correcting many of the
evils in the freight rate situation
of the country.

Cause of the rift in the romance of
Miss Nancy Sayles. Rhode Islands
richest girl, and Lieutenant Ernesto
Lardinelli Beech, Under Secretary of

differences. Lieutenant Beech is a
Catholic and Miss Sayles a Protes-

ponement. He is reported as being
liz aboard a steamship en- route to
this country.
The couple were to have been
married in a Catholic ceremony next
Wednesday at 'Saleholm," the Sayles
mansion in Pawtucket. Mrs. Frank

BAGGY BREECHES BANNED
Big Bottoms Blackballed by Brit
ish Bows Schools,

LONDON, July IS GP).-The oxford
bag trousers, those magenta or brick
dust colored leg castings of enormous
girth which for the last year have
been affected by the young university
men in search for something new,
have attracted so many disciples
among the younger generation that
they have been banned in many public
schools, along with the vari-colored
waistcoats with which the boys of
Eton, Harrow and other schools sought
TO vie with their elders.
The rage for fantastic clothing
reached such height at Eton and Har-
row that the authorities took stern
measures, returning to the tailors
those trousers beyond regulation
width. with suitable warnings against
any abuse of the tradeSmen'S privilege
in the future. In some other schools
rainbow colored waistcoats adorned
with gilt or silver buttons were con-
fscated until their owners promised
TO tone down their color scheme
Among the other famous schools
banning trousers of extreme width are
Mill HILL Brighton College, the City
Of London College, Eastbourne Col
lege mad Dover College.
In others, while on ban has yet been
placed, the boys have been given to
understand that any effort to ape the
oxford fashions to extremity will meet
With official disapproval.
