TO DROP RAIL CASE
Motion to Deny Rate In
crease and Dismiss Hear
ing Studied.
by the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. September "A motion
for denial of the proposed Is per cent
freight rate increases and dismissal of
hearings on the railroads petition for
the boosts which were made before the
Interstate Commerce Commission hear
ing yesterday by A. B. Cronk, repre-
senting indianapolis shipping interests,
was taken under Amusement.
1t came as climax to vigorous
all-day croSS-examination OF Fairman
r. Dick, who said he represented hold
ers of 81 100 900 900 in rail securities,
by Senator Smith w. Brookhart Of Iowa
and former Gov. Clyde M. Reed Of
Kansas.
Dick testified that the proposed boost
Is essential to establishing confidence
of investors in the rail securities, and
that II the commission found the higher
rates would not mean greater revenue
and refused to grant them, a special
session of Congress would be necessary
to protect the investors interests and
safeguard the Nations transportation
Charges InefIiciency.
Cronks motion asked for denial on
to show they have been operating hon.
estly, efficiency and prudently, and
that they have not consulted the labor
board about possible cuts in wages,
which, he said, represent 90 per cent
of their expenses.
Dick advised the commission that II
the investors were assured of protec-
ton of their rail holdings the rate ad-
vances would be unnecessary, as capital
would start flowing in. He added that
he knew of no way in which the conn.
dence OF investors could be restored ex-
eept by the rate boost
During croSs-examination by Senator
Brookhart, the financial representatives
said agriculture and ether industries
were being subsidized at the expense
Of the railroads whenever they derive
benefits from rates lower than neces-
sary to give the carriers a fair return
on their property.
Shippers Oppose Roost.
At short-haul hearing Milton Rau-
man and Dlbney T. Warning, represent
ing Eastern shipping interests of less
than carload lots, and H. S. Burch of the

and r. B. Cenestiek of the Indiana
Chamber of Commerce, opposed the
boosts.

viving business.

LINER SAVES TRIO
ON BURNING CRAFT.
Men Trapped Aboard Vessel
When Lifeboat Is Lost
on Long Island Sound.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PROVIDENCE, r. l.. September a.
Details of the rescue by a passenger
liner Of three men trapped on a burn
ing schooner in Long Island Sound last
night were revealed today with the ar
rival here Of the steamer City of Lowell
from New York with the three men
aboard.
B. w. Latham Of Crestwood, N. Y,
skipper Of the schooner Bueeanser; his
son, r. C. Latham, and G. H. Dericks
Of Colonial Heights, N. Y, were the
men saved.
Dericks suffered slight burns an the
left leg a n ought his way out Of
the coolss-S e schooner.
1T loaaR ! for us for awhile"
the skipper he schooner said, add
ing that their only life boat was lost
in the rough seas in an attempt to
launch it.
II don't know what our fate would
have been If the City of Lowell hadn't
eerne alongside when she did. The
interior of the craft was q roaring
furnace and the sails had taken afire.
We had discarded most Of our cloth
ing and were making ready to plunge
into the sea and swim for shore when
the lookout on the liner sighted us
and the big boat speeded to our aid"
The Buecaneer had started cut from
Stamford, Conn. yesterday bound for
New London. Conn, at about 10 pm.
Due to rough seas, an oil lamp was
shattered and spilled burning oil in
the cockpit, which Immediately set Are
to the gasoline drum.
The crew of the City Of Lowell ex-
tinguished the IRE and the schooner
was taken In tew by another steamer
which had been attracted to the scene.

This was revealed by Maj. Gerald Z.
Brewer Of the LIST pursuit group fram
Selfridge Field, Mich. who daily leads
his squadrens In front of the grand
stands In laundering attacks, formation
flights and maneuvers.
BY this Fall, Maj. Brewer said, lD
two-seater ships will be added to the
group. In one of the seats will be the
pilot with a stationary maehine-gun
and in the other q machine gunner who
can swing his weapon en- the enemy at
any angle.
At present tha pilot must direct his
plane to aim his machine gun, making
it difficult to ward of attack from the
re2r. If the flyers are in close formation
they turn only with difficulty to face
attackers.
A squadron of twe-seater planes
equipped with two machine guns each
may protect q group from attack. If
the group becomes disorganized, Maj.
Brewer explained, the two machine gun
planes may stand guard, while the dis
organized planes reform fer attack OF

1t added that several Of the larger

that 1t has been found out that is does

40 MILES AN HOUR
EXPECTED IN RACE
British Victory May Mean
End of Schneider Cup
Competition.

~ the Aesoeiateo Press
SOUTHAMPTON, England, septem-
Der Al a British seaplane wins the
Schneider Cup in the speed races to be
races may never be held again.
The rules governing award OF the
trophy, the worlds premier speed prize,
provide that nation winning three out
Of five successive contests may retain
the cup permanently.
So great Is the cost Of preparation for
the race in construction Of new planes,
II Britain gains the cup permanently 1t
may not be offered again for COMPETE
ton.
Races Cost $2,50o,000
This years races, which will be fought
out by Great Britain, Italy and France,
1t is estimated will cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000, 000-the trophy Is
worth only about $1,000.
The tremendous cost, and the extreme
hazard to human life are believed to be
the principal reasons for decision Of the
United States against participation in
! the 1927 and 1929 contests as well as
the one this year.
This years races are expected to de-
velop the greatest speed at which a
| human being has ever Travelled, perhaps
miles minute, 400 miles an hour.
The present record established at the
1929 Schneider Cup race by Flying Off,
Ger H. r. D. Waghorn, is 328.63 miles
per hour.
Present interest is conferred chiefly
about the new British mystery plane,
the Supermarine SOB, built especially
for the race. which is expected to reach
. speed between 400 and 420 miles per
hour.
1t probably will be piloted by Squad
ron Leader Orlebar, skipper of the Brit
ish high speed flight.

prior to the races to three pilots and
three planes for each nation.
These nine planes must pass prelimi-
nary tests OF take-off, short flight,
| alighting and two-minute taxi" ride
| to prove their seaworthiness.
The races are over triangular course
| lying east Of Southampton Harbor. The
| three sides Of the course total about 81

about PIT miles.

Immediately before the speed trials
| Seaworthiness once demonstrated the
racing plane will rise and cross the

This is the first year that the races
will be flown over a triangular course,
the change having been made from a
| quadrilateral course in view Of the In
creasing speed Of the trim little sea-
planes.
The Schneider Cup has been raced for
| ten times, the contests beginning in
i 1918 at Monaco. when a Frenchman, M
Provost, won with o speed of 45.75 miles
per hour. In subsequent contests, Brit
ain won four times. Italy three times
