items for the exoneration Of the other
defendants, W. Clark Noble, Mrs. Anna

A. Armstrong, jr. The judge announced
he thought Mrs. Noble should be found
not guilty because the Government had

revision of freight rates.
The committee appointed to work
upon the plan was expected to meet for
organization some time next week, pos
Sibly Tuesday, but in the meantime it is
understood that individual members of
the committee are working upon vari-
Gus aspects of the problem.
The Eastern Railways Presidents

he was unauthorized to give out any in
formation whatever about the prospec-
tive meeting of the committee. He was
not even permitted to make any official
announcement of the election of the

Seek Rate Restoration.
The railway presidents seek to re
store" freight rates to a level which
will give them about $400,0000 900 in
additional annual gross revenue, to pro-
rtect their credit standing.
Little likelihood is seen in banking
circles for an increase before the mid
year revision of the lists of bonds avail
abe for savings bank investments in
New York State. and bankers expect
more issues will be disqualified because
of dwindling revenues.
