'TECHNOCRACY'
EXTOLLED BY
SCIENTISTS

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Dec.
29.-Energy hours-the measure
of work accomplished by the ma
chine-inevitably will replace the
familiar unit of man hours in
industry, and industrial planning
of the future, therefore, must be
quite different from any which
existed in the past. Prof. Walter
RautenStrauch, head of the de-
partment of industrial engineer
ing at Columbia University. and
"a leader in the Technocracy
movement, declared before the
engineering section of the Ameri-
can Association for the Advance
ment of Science, in session here.
Prof. Rautenst"auch'S address
on 'Technological Developments
and Social Change" an expoSi-
ton of the credo of Technocracy,
was delivered in symposium on
employment stabilization.
Research Chief Concern
Technocracy, he pointed out,
is primarily concerned with re-
search from the standpoint of
physical values of property and
program as it affects the problem
of organizing. a civilization to
maintain itself on a given con-
tinental area.
Prof. RautenStrauch declared
technocracy also concerns itself
with discovering the magnitudes
and characteristics of the physical
forces upon which the main
tenance and growth of our
civilization are founded and
using them as the basis for
establishing a possible program
Of social growth.
Trend In Employment

NEW BAKER "CLUE'
0ften-Repeated Story About
Confession in Murder Case
Checked by Fowler.

Lieut.. John H. Fowler, police ballistics
expert, today was pursuing his investi-
cation of what purportedly is new
"clue" in the murder of Mary Baker.
The "clue" was to the effect that a
man in Hagerstown, Md. knew a man
to whom the girls murderer was sup
posed to have confessed. Fowler said,
however. that he had not yet obtained
any information to which he attached
importance. He plans to see several
other persons with a view to getting to
the source of the information and find
ing out If there is anything to it.
The report of the clue" got to police
here after being relayed through sew
eral different persons. including a dep
uty sheriff and the chief Of police at
Hagerstown.
The body of Miss Baker, daughter
of Virginia clergyman, was found i'll
a culvert along Military road near Ar
lington Cemetery early in April, 1890.
In an extensive investigation which fol-
lowed, police rounded up numerous sus-
poets. one of whom was tried and ac-
Quilted in connection with the murder.
There were a number of puzzling cir
cumstances In connection with the mur-
der and authorities conflicted in their
opinion as to whether she was killed
in the District or Virginia.

less Intrastate Rates Are
Boosted.

Railroad commissions in nine States
have been told by the Interstate Com
merce Commission to order increased
freight rates within their boundaries by
November or the Federal commission
will issue an order authorizing the car
riers to apply surcharges to intrastate
shipments in the affected areas
The increases are in line with boosts
in interstate rates effected last Janu-
AIRY. The Federal body, under section
13 of the Interstate Commerce act, has
the authority to grant permission to the
railroads to raise rates within State
boundaries even though the State COM
missions fail to authorize them.
Yesterdays decision affects rates in
Arkansas, Idaho. Kentucky, Louisiana
Montana. Nebraska. Oklahoma. Texas
and Utah. Complaints against Arizona
were dismissed, as the railroads with
drew them Similar complaints against
Wisconsin, Minnesota and West Vlr-
ginia are pending.
The commissions for Kentucky and
Montana refused to grant any OF the
surcharge increases. The Texas tribunal
permitted the increases on all except
less than carload traffic and casing

$4,000 FERRY
LOAN IS OPPOSED
Claiborne Annapolis Com.
pany Asks !. c. c. Disap-
prove Loan to Railway.

The Claiborne Annapolis Ferry Co.
yesterday sought to have the Interstate
Commerce Commission disapprove the
application of the Chesapeake Beach
Railway Co., to the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation for a 100000 loan
to permit Inauguration of ferry service
from Chesapeake Beach to the Eastern
Shore of Maryland.
Through its attorneys, the ferry COM
pany filed a brief with the Interstate
Commerce Commission citing six reasons
why, it is claimed, the petition for the
loan should not be granted.
For several years the ferry company
has blocked the plan of the railway
company. fighting In the courts its right
to establish ferry service across Ches-
apeake Bay, until the United States Su-
preme Court recently decided in favor
of the Chesapeake Beach Railway Co.
Proposed Ferry Route.
The proposed ferry would run across
the bay to point in Dorchester Coun-
ty. The two ferry boats which would
be bought would cost s50000 and the
remainder of the loan would be used in
construction of piers and in dredging
operations.
The protest to the Interstate Com
merce Commission declares that this
project venturlng into the ferry business
comes before the Reconstruction Fl
nance Corporation under the guise OF
an extension of a railroad. The fact is
the proposed extension of the railroad
is little more than legal fiction en-
ployed to give jurisdiction to the Inter-
h state Commerce Commission and to
avoid the jurisdiction of the Public
Service Commission Of the State OF
Maryland"
The argument presented in the brief
rests on six main points. They are:
That granting the loan would violate
| the purpose of the act creating the Re-
construction Finance Corporation.
Legal Authority Lacking.
That the railway has no legal author
| ity to engage in general ferry business.
That the railway cannot furnish the
service described in the loan application.
That the estimates Of revenue and ex-
penses of the venture are unsound.
That the Reconstruction Finance Cor
,poration will not be adequately secured
I'for the loan.
That the proposed ferry would be
detrimental to existing enterprise.
