RAILROADS SHOW NEED Of INCREASED RATES

Opening Statement Sets Out That Revenues Have Fallen of $53,000,000, While Expenses Grow,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.—President Daniel E. Willard, of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, chairman of the committee of railroad presidents, made the opening statement before the interstate commerce commission today for the eastern railways in their application for increased freight rate, based on the world finance exigency due in a great measure to the European war. "The needs of the carriers are pressing and immediate," he declared. "The actual situation has become extremely critical. "The roads are seeking a flat In crease of 5 per cent in freight rates throughout the territory east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. "The annual statements of all the railroads involved in this proceeding combined, for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, show roundly that the total operating revenues during that year were approximately $53,000,000 less than during the previous year, while the operating expenses during the same period were approximately $18,000,000 greater. "The net operating income of these companies for the period amounted to $258,900,000 or approximately $77,700,000 less than was earned during the previous year and equal to but 3.98 per cent upon the property investment, a lower return than was shown at any time In fifteen years."

Much time was given by the committee for hearings and consideration of a treaty with -Nicaragua, to acquire the Nicaraguan canal route and naval station rights in the Bay of Fonseca, for $3,000,000 and the treaty with Colombia, to pay that country $25,000,000 compensation for the Panama canal strip. Action on both treaties was deferred until next session.

Investigations by congress were less than has been undertaken in recent sessions. The special lobby investigating committee of the senate, however, continued its existence and probed into alleged lobbying in connection with the passage of the Panama canal act, and the subsequent repeal of the tolls exemption provision. The committee has not yet made a final report. The house lobby committee reported a resolution of tensure for Representative McDermott, of Illinois, who resigned his office.

Overshadowing much other Important legislatin were measures demanded by extraordinary conditions precipitated by the war in Europe. Such legislation, enacted or about to become law, included the following measures:

War revenue law imposing special internal revenue taxes to aggregate approximate annual revenue of 5108, 000,000 to offset estimated treasury deficit due to loss of customs receipts during the European war.

Amendment to Panama canal act admitting to American registry foreign built ships of American ownership to engage in overseas and South American trade.

Emergency currency act permitting banks of national currency associations to issue circulating notes up to 125 per cent of their unimpaired capital and surplus and making available to banks of the country more than $1,000,000,000 of emergency currency.

Law creating in the treasury department a bureau of war risk insurance, appropriating $5,000,000 to insure ships of American registry against hazards of the European war.

Resolutions appropriating $2,750,000 for protection and transportation of American citizens stranded in Etifc-o-pean war zones and authorizing the American Red Cross society to charter a ship of foreign register and fly the American flag.

Appropriation of $1,000,000 for extra expense of diplomatic and consular service In taking over embassies, legations and consular offices of warring nations In Europe.

Before these unforeeeen conditions which demanded decisive action to cope with the European situation, congress had on its hands for most of the session the threatening Mexican Imbroglio which came to a climax in the act of reprisal by the government in the seizure of Vera Cruz. Many times the situation was critical, and actual warfare with Mexico was prevented only by the course of the administration and the cool heads in congress in preventing untoward oratorical outbreaks and unwise action. Legislation growing out of the Mexican controversy was limited to the following:

Resolution -expressing congress' justification of employment by the president of armed forces of the United States to enforce demands for affronts and indignities against this nation and disclaiming any hostility to the Mexican people or any purpose to make war on Mexico.

Appropriation of $500,000 for transportation and care of interned Mexican soldiers and military refugees ind $500,000 for relief and transportation to the United States of America citizens in Mexico.

Tunnel for Workman Caught in Quicksand

WARE, Mass., Oct. 19.—Fifty men, weilding pick and shovel, worked hard today in an effort to reacue Maurice Allen, who, since Saturday, has oe«n held fas in quicksand and twenty-five feet below the surface of the earth. Allen was supplied with air through a diver's helmet while food and stimulants were administered through a tube.

Allen was caught in the quicksand while digging a well near his home. He has been partially released two or three times but on each occasion a subsequent cave-in occurred.

Last night a second hole was dug about fifty feet from the well aud the rescuers began to construct a ditch 30 feet deep from the hole to the .veil, boarding the walls as fast as they could. In this manner it was hoped to reach Allen before he succumbed.

~M- ALLIES PLAN AQVANC&/ 0

Uninterrupted Offensive Movement In Northern France Scheduled. PARIS, Oct. 19.—9:15 a. m.—An uninterrupted offensive movement by the allies at certain points In northern France was predicted here today as the battle was resumed. The retaking of Armentieres on the river Lys on the Belgian frontier, and the occupation ten miles west of Lille of the right line leading towards Douai via Glven hy and Fromelles was considered as constituting an excellent advance guard position by reason of Its numerous places of support. This with the progress in several other sections, notably Arras, gave the allies hope of a continuance of their advance.

Lleut.-Col. Roussett, the military critic, in reviewing the military sltuaton refuses to concur in the statement made that the battle of the Alsne has been definitely won by the allies. "One never knows what will happen," he says, "and while the enemy will not take the return route, renewal of its activity can be produced in another vicinity, especially If the German see that their maneuver in the north is endangered. But it Is certain that upon the horizontal line, going from the Oise to the Meuse, the allies have nothing to fear as every effort of tho Germans from this side would certainly be stopped. "As to-the new battle, that of Flanders, it Is clearly offensive on the aide of the allies. The circumstance which Inspires us is that it will develop on ground more favorable for attack than for defense and that it is undulating land, widely spaced, where troops can easily defile for aggressive movements."

The socialists of France have declared as inopportune and premature the suggestions made that their comrades in the United States hold an international socialist peace congress.

The public was greatly pleased that Sunday passed without a visit from German aeroplanes and today It had much praise for the activity and vigilance of the aviation guard.
