COAL FREIGHT RATE
EXTENSION FOUGHT
High Charges Drive Consumers
to Use of Other Fuels, Brief
Tells I. C..

By the Associated Press.
John Carson, consumers counsel Of
the National Bituminous Coal Com
mission, filed with the Interstate
Commerce Commission a brief op-
posing the railroads request for con-
tinuance OF temporary rate increases
on bituminous coal.
"Bituminous coal consumers are
being driven to the use Of other fuels
because of existing high freights on
the commodity" Mr.. Carson con-
tended
I'm their petition the railroads make
loss of traffic with incident loss Of
revenue the sole basis for their request
that the increases be continued. We
believe it is fair conclusion to state
that the petition shows that the tenn
porary increases on bituminous coal
they now want made permanent have
hurt rather than helped the railroads.
The excessive charges the railroads
are making for transporting bitumin-
Gus coal have brought. only diminish
ing returns. The railroads need more
traffic. 1t is an economic certainty that
they cannot increase their coal traffic
by maintaining high freight rates"
The temporary increases. authorized
October 10, 1887, are scheduled to
expire December 81 The increases
amounted to Is cents ton In the
West and 10 cents a ton in the East.

suggested should be placed in his

development would form an historic

ever, should be retained no matter
how difncult problem the irregular
shaped plots would present to the
architect entrusted with the design.
No such prominent site as this one
at Lincoln Park could hope to escape
the eye Of the city beautifier and many
suggestions have been offered as to its
use. 1t was recommended as an
alternative site for the memorial to
Thomas Jefferson. which was to take

the valley would provide ample space
for a huge drill ground while the
sloping embankment offers an unusual
opportunity for the construction of a
large amphitheater.
Ample space is available for
stadium upon the low level so that
the necessarily large mass will not
dwarf any architectural treatment on
the higher ground. Facilities for
swimming and tennis competitions are
to be provided so that when this
country is again selected as the scene
Of the Olympic Games they may be
had in the Nations Capital.
Adequate space for parking sur
rounds the structure while the extern

road tracks offers an added facility In
the assembling and dispersion Of
enormous crowds.
Plans for this development have
been prepared by the National Capital
Parks in collaboration with Francis P.
Sullivan. architect. and Bremen w.
Pond. landscape architect.
The eastern end of our proposed
new monumental street will terminate
IN formal plaza on the high level

plaza will be flanked by two large
buildings, one Of which it is hoped
will be the long needed National Guard
Armory. The drill field below will

Schmeling is a methodical gent

After Max knocked out Joe

with the most amazing demon
