RAIL PROBLEMS WILL BE FIRST BEFORE WILSON Increased Freight Rates to be Considered at Conference of Hines and President. WASHINGTON. July 8 Problems facing the railroad administration will be among the first business laid be fore President Wilson on his return to Washington. Director General
Hines plans to confer with the Prsident next week, but declined today to indicate what matters would be discussed, other than to say he had no specific recommendations to make. It is believed, however, that increased freight rates will be perhaps the most important topic. Operating expanses have increased at a much faster ratio than operating income and gradually increasing business, which as yet has not attained its full volume, has not been sufficient to make up the deficit. With crop movements starting, it is expected that the next few weeks will determine whether an increase is to be made, administration officials believing that a decision will be possible by Sept. 1, perhaps earlier. Traffic experts are inclined to think that an advance in rates will reduce business, a factor to which close attention Is being given. Plans for return of the roads to corporate control constitutes another subject likely to be taken up at the conference between Mr. Hines and the President. Suggestions for a return of the roads to the direction of the owning companies have been made by railroad officials, who argue that time should be given to reorganize their 6taffs before Dec. 31. the date set by President Wilson when Federal control is to be relinquished.

CENTENARY CELEBRATION COLUMBUS (OHIO) Described by William Cy Freeman. AsioclaUd with Paul Block. Inc., New York. Chicago. Detroit, Boston. r have never, been "upstairs" in a flying machine. It must 'be a wonderful sensation to sail along through the air between Heaven and earth. Bird-men fly over the State Fair Grounds at Columbus, where the CENTENARY CELEBRATION is taking place. I don't know whether they purposely plan their airsailing routes to take in the great panorama at the State Fair Grounds, but I notice when they fly over this inspiring scene they turn about again and again, seemingly greatly attracted and impressed. What man has done in producing the flying machine, the submarine, wireless telegraphy, the telephone, the automobile, the tractor and the many other wonderful, useful and progressive things of the world has been fairly matched by the composite genius of many minds in producing the CENTENARY CELEBRATION COLUMBUS. So many unusual. Instructive, appealins; and delightful thine hava been assembled In this CENTENARY CELEBRATION COI UMBUS that you will marvel at them Just as we have all marveled at the renlua of man In uniting God's power with his, for the betterment of the world, as has been done In hundreds of ways. But the greatest of all benefits that comes of . uniting God's power with man's IS THAT WHICH LIFTS MEN AND WOMEN TO THE PLANE OF APPRECIATION OF LIFE. Its duties and Its beautlea To see former cannibals and head, hunters live like civilised belara rives one confidence In humanity. Ohio people should be very proud of their great Coliseum at tha State Fair Grounds, Columbus a building1 that seats 7.600 people and has such splendid acoustlo qualities that the voice carries perfectly to all parts of It and Is heard distinctly. To divert Just a moment: Ohio people should also be very proud of the great Oval Amphitheatre at the Stat Fair Grounds where more than (0.000 people can be seated comfortably. I don't know how many ether places there are In America where 60.000 people can be seated to see part of a Great Exposition, but there are not many, that'a certain, so tha State of Ohio may ba counted as a Great Leader In producing at its Capital such splendid facilities for the entertainment of her people. No wonder the managers of tha CENTENARY CELEBRATION SELECTED COLUMBUS as the Claee to display Its marvelous exiblts. Now let me return to tha Pageant. Directly in front of tha stage stands one of the greatest pipe organs of the world, purchased for this CENTENART CELEBRATION COLUMBUS. TOU MUST HEAR IT. Tou must see the master organist whose touch with hands and feet brings to your ears wonderful soundsharmonious and inspiring from all nooks and corners of the great Coliseum. Surrounding the organ Is the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra of 76 pieces. Have you ever heard this wonderful Orchestra? If not, do so by all means. Tou can listen to it for hours and get Joy and thrills out of every minute. Topping off all this a great chorus of colored folks, on one side of the Coliseum, and a grat chorus of white folka. on the other side, totaling S.000. 'join in a wave of song that will lift you to your feet when you hear it. OH. THIS PAGEANT IS REALLY wonderful: And this, mind you as big and as inspiring as it Is la only a part of this Great Exposition. Don't you want to see it? Don't you want to hear the grand. Inspiring music? You can aee It for SO cents and : for another 60 cents, tha entrance fee, you can sea all day long all of the other parts of this CENTENARY CELEBRATION COLUMBUS each one splendidly Impressive.
