WASHINGTON, July 16.-Main-
tenance Of sound credit for the rail-
roads has emerged from proceed
ings before the interstate commerce
commission as one Of the principal
detectives of railway executives,
who are pleading for a is per cent
freight rate increase.
In the sitting heat Of an over
crowded room, the first day Of the

contention that the roads have
fallen upon such difficulties that
their securities are in danger and
their future efficiency threatened.
j. ]. Pelley, president of the New
York, New Haven g. Hartford rail-
road, was TO be among those to
testify today. He is chairman of the
special committee Of eastern rail-
road presidents who decided that a
Is per cent advance In freight rates
was the only remedy for their
troubles.
Railroad lawyers and representa-
tlVeS OF special groups, eltner OPP

of statistical testimony Wednesday.
Commissioner Balthazar Meyer,
who presided, supplied exactly the
right touch to keep tempers on an
event keel. Appearing cool and
comfortable In his white linen suit,
Meyer handled the witnesses with
urbane good nature and occasional
jests. Once his eyes twinkling be-
hind his gold-framed spectacles,
Meyer said:
Il think you make a mistake to
assume any great familiarity with
railroad bond coupons on this side
of the table"
Associated with Meyer in hearing
the case are Commissioners Ernest
I. Lewis and William E. Lee. Com
missioner Eastman, although not
assigned to the case, sat on the

BRAVES READY FOR
MIDGET GO FRIDAY
Coach McMahan Pointing His
Squad for State Tourna-
ment Tilt Play

Coach Leonard G. McMahan's
Braves will tangle Friday night with
the Dickinson Midgets at the Mandan
high school gymnasium.
McMahan will use Captain Frank
Boehm and Bob Saunders at for
wards, Byron Spielman as offensive
center, and Sterling Byerly and Lloyd
Dietrich at the guard bertns as the
starting lineup. Although Saunders
Swill probably jump for Spielman at
center, he will drop back into the for
ward position after the tip-off.
Cutting his squad to Is men, Nc
Mahan is concentrating his squad for
intensive preparation against the
powerful opponents the Braves will
meet in the next few weeks.
Although defeating Hebron 1927,
and Linton 39-16, Mandan's high
school team fell before an alumni
quint in the only game Of the holiday
vacation period.
Still early in the season, McMahan,
Braves mentor, is, nevertheless, OPP
timistic for his team in tournament
play. Mandan has five veterans in
their cage squad this year, and all are
Sophomores. If the Braves are unable
to win the state title in March, they
should have a good chance next year.
The Dickinson Midgets, although
not having as many veterans on the
squad this year as the Braves, never
theless have had more experience this
season. The Midgets have played
more games since the basketball sea-
son opened than the Braves.
The Braves have been developing a
combination of the fixed five : man
and rowing man-to-man defense. In
line with the state tournaments. Nc
Mahan also has been developing q
passing attack modelled after the fast
accurate shooting Purdue offense.
