WORKING FOR NEW RATE BY SEPTEMBER 1 States Asked to Make Fares Inside Them Correspond to Rates Between Them Revenue Not Calculated.

FREIGHT IS DIFFERENT (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. Readjustment of the whole rate structure of the nation's transportation systems, was started today with a view to put ting into effect by Sept. 1 the freight, passenger, Pullman and excess baggage milk rate increases authorized last Saturday by the Interstate commerce commission. While tariff experts are working on the general rate schedules, the carriers will make application to the various state commissioners for advance in intrastate rates to correspond to those in interstate rates. Requests for advances in passenger, Pullman, milk and excess baggage tariffs are expected to be the same for all states as the increases in these charges authorized by the federal commission were general for the entire country. They were 20 per cent on passenger, milk and excess baggage charges and 50 per cent on rates for sleeping and parlor car space. Ask States to Correspond. In the case of freight rates, however, the carriers will ask the states to advance these tariffs to correspond with the increases granted by the federal commission for the territory in which the state is located. The interstate increases authorized are 40 per cent in eastern territory, 25 in southern and mountain-Pacific territory, and 35 in western territory. In announcing that the appdications for intrastate advances would be made to the state commissioner, Alfred F. Thorn, general counsel of the association of railway executives, said these increases would not enlarge the gross income to be received by the roads under the decision of the federal commission, because in presenting their case the carriers based their estimates on corresponding intrastate rate advances. Haven't Calculated Revenue, The railroad executives have not calculated the total increased revenue to be derived from the rate advances, but from their estimates presented to the commission at the public hearings the sum has been unofficially approximated at one and one-half billion dollars. The commission's decision is intend ed to fix rates as to give the roads the six per cent return on their aggregate value permitted by the transportation act. Since the commission fixed the aggregate value of all the lines at $18,900,000,000 the net operating income would be approximately $1,134,000,000 ss compared with the $S93,000,000 standard return the roads have received during the period of federal control and since. Only Freights on Coast. Coastwise and inland steamship 'companies and electric railway lines are permitted under the Interstate Commerce commission's decision to raise only freight rates. Nothing was said by the commission as to the passenger rates on the steamboat lines, but the decision did say specifically that the freight rate increase granted electric railway lines was "not to be construed as an expression of disapproval of increases, made or proposed in the regular manner, in the passenger fares of electric lines." Whilo the commission authorized separate freight rate increases to the railroads in the four separate territories, the increase on freight moving from one territory into another will be 33 1-3 per cent. Creation by the commission on its own motion of the mountain-Pacific territory was unexpected. 39 Per Cent Request Rejected. The western roads as a whole had joined in asking for an increase of 32.3 per cent, but the southwestern lines later at the public hearing asked that they be given separate treatment and a freight increase of approximately 39 per cent. The commission did not grant this request, saying that it had been opposed by many shippers and by other farriers" in the western group. "The record shows" said the commission, "that the principal railroads serving the territory west of the Colorado common points, especially the socalled transcontinental railroads as a whole, are in a substantially better financial condition than other carriers ii the western territory. "It also shows that the rates, generally speaking, are materially lusher in the region west of the Colorado common points than in the part of the western territory lying east there. "Considering the whole situation, it is our view that the territory west of the Colorado common points and the traffic to and from the territory may properly be given separate treatment." "Reasons requiring an increase of interstate rates are very persuasive of the need for increases in interstate rates," declared a report sent to various state railway commissions today by three representatives of those commissions who sat with the Interstate Commerce Commission on public hearing on the billion and a half dollar Increase. The Increase rates permitted under the ruling and ex parte 74, will probably go into effect. Sept. 1, 1020. The operating revenues of the roads under rresent rates are recognized by all persons as Insufficient. A part of the responsibility to meet the situation rests upon the state commission. Such increases as will be made in interstate rates, should, if possible, be made effective Sept. 1, 1920.

Only Women Employed

Miss Maude Rogers and Miss Lillian O'Neill enjoy the distinction of being the only women ever employed in the executive offices of the White House. At the beginning of the war they were employed to take the place of men who went into the army and their services have been so satisfactory that they have been continued in their positions.

Women Are Interested in Politics Assert Their County Party Leaders

Miss Esther Griffin White, as Re publican woman chairman of Wayne county, and Miss Ruth James, as Democratic woman chairman of Wayne county, issued a joint statement Monday taking exceptions to a statement published Saturday that the large majority of women in Wayne county were indifferent about their right to participate in the elections next November. In their statement Miss White estimates that 50 per cent of the women in the county intend to exercise their right of franchise; Miss James estimates that 60 per cent of the women voters will ballot. The statement reads: The attention of the two undersigned was called to the statements on the front page of The Palladium on Saturday evening, July 30, relative to remarks made by Mr. Henry Siekman on the probable number of women who would and would not vote in November. Mr. Siekman states that not one woman in ten in the 21st precinct, which he states he polled for the county Republican committee, will vote. Preceding this quotation your article states that "careful inquiry has developed the fact that the majority of women voters in the county are not even aware that they have the right to vote, under an Indiana statute passed by the Legislature of 1919, and when so informed state, as a rule, that they have no desire to vote." Further you state: "Party leaders are inclined to believe that if the women living in the INDIANA MINES ARE REOPENING; BUCK IS PASSED TO RAILMEN INDIANAPOLIS, ?nrt., Auc. 2. Bituminous coal mines in Indiana and Illinois, closed last week because of a strike of day men. were being reopened today according to a statement issued from headquarters of the United Mine Workers this morning. Ellis Searles, editor of the United Mines Workers Journal, said a majority of the men had gone back to work in response to an order by John L. Lewis, president of the miners' organ ization. He predicted it would be a day or two before the mines would be operating at full strength. Mr. Searles, in his statement, said the miners would provide all the coal the country needs, but "it will be the duty of the railroads to haul it to the consumers. Says It'll Be Fault of Roads. "If the people do not get coal now," he continued, "it will not be the fault of the miners." Reports lrom the Bicknell field, the largest in Indiana, indicated, that, what delay was reported, was due to the locals not receiving the work order in time to make it effective today, it was said. (By Associated Press) BICKNELL, Ind.. Aug.' 2. Three out of the 14 mines in the Bicknell district still were idle today. The order of President Lewis that the strikers return to work failed to reach one small mine several miles distant in time for resumption of work today. A second mine was idle due to labor troubles, not connected with the strike of day men, it was said. The reason for the failure of the third to open was not given. SPRINGFIELD, 111., Aug. 2. Striking coal miners in Illinois are returning to work slowly. Of the 29 mines in the county only six were able to resume work today, and only two of these, it was reported by the operators, would hoist any coal today,

The further statement is made that "party leaders" are "alarmed." Also that while men show some Indifference that "It is believed that when the campaign gets under fuller headway, the men will begin to take more interest in political affairs."

THIEF TRIES TWICE TO ROB LIGHT PLANT OFFICE Sunday night an effort was made to rob ihe vault In the office of the Richmond Municipal Electric plant, and James P. Dillon, plant superintendent, is of the opinion that a similar effort was made Friday night. Some time late Sunday evening a thief succeeded In opening the front door of the municipal plant's office, on South, Eighth street, the scene of several other recent robberies and attempted robberies. The thief also succeeded in opening the outer door to the vault, but the three other steel doors guarding the safe within trhe vault were not forced. Not Much Money in Safe. Mr. Dillon says that there was not a large amount of money In the safe, most of the funds having been placed in a bank Saturday afternoon. Policemen discovered that the front, door of the plant office had been oj-e-ned and the office was kept under guard until after Monday. Mr. Dillon states that Friday night in passing the office he notic-ed that the front door light and the light in front of the vault had been turned off. He entered the building and made an investigation after arming himself. Lights Are Turned Off. While in the building a man living in the neighborhood telephoned that the fight over the rear entrance to the building had been turned off. Mr. Dillon states that the thief who en tered the building Friday night secured nothing. He is inclined to the belief that en trance was gained to the building Friday night through the basement. Saturday he had iron bars placed over the windows. Weather Forecast For Indiana, by the United States Weather Bureau Fair wt-.ither and moderate temperature tonight and Tuesday.

BILLON GIVES HIS STAND IN CONTROVERSY

Light Plant Head Says No Bona Fide Offer Ever Was Made to Him Prefers the Open Market. j QUESTIONS CONTRACTS H. R. Robinson, chairman, and L. A. Handley, secretary of a special citizens' committee which has been investigating the affairs of the municipal government, issued a statement Monday that the editor of a local newspaper, which had charged that James E. Dillon, superintendent of the municipal electric plant, had failed to accept an advantageous coal contract offer made last March, had advised the committee officers that E. K. Shera was the coal dealer who had made the offer. The statement signed by Mr. Robinson and Mr. Handley, addressed to the public, reads: "Pursuant to a motion made at the citizens' mass meeting Friday morning that Mr. Copeland communicate to the chairman and secretary of that meeting the name of the salesman who made the offer of coal to the city at $2.80 per ton, the undersigned wish to state that Mr. Copeland has informed us that Mr. E. K. Shera had made such an offer. Price Given As $2.85 Per Ton. Mr. Shera has stated to us that he made such an offer and submitted a telegram from his firm stating that he was authorized to contract for the sale of 12,000 tons at a price of $2.85 per ton." rr. Dillon addressed a letter to the board of public works Monday giving his version of the incident. His letter follows: "Referring to tne article relative to the coal situation in one of our papers, the writer would advise you as follows : "As you have already been informed, Mr. Shera called at this office some time in March and took up the matter of coal. He did not, howe ver, make a bona fide offer of $2.80 or $2.85 per ton. The only thing Mr. Shera seemed to be interested in was whether or not we were going to contract. Get Coal Under Market Price. "I informed him that we had not been contracting for several years passed, and had always succeeded in buying coal under the market price I informed him that I would be glad to take up the proposition and if we decided to contract would communicate with him. "After talking the matter over with your board, it was decided that the writer should see what could be done in the way of a contract. I, therefore, under -late of April 3, wrote the company in question and they informed me that they had nothing to offer. "Another fact to which I would like to call your particular attention is that if we had entered Into a contract the delivery of coal would have been based upon the car supply, etc., and so far this year we would probably have received enough coal on the alleged contract offer to operate the plant for one day per month. No Bona Fide Offer Made. "I wish to again say that no bona fide offer was received by me and no definite price made. The party who is alleged to have made the offer did not even come into my office. "I was standing at the cashier's window when he happened to be at the counter and he merely asked me if we intended to contract, and I informed him as above stated." "HANLY STRONG MAN" SAYS T. NICHOLSON Ex-Governor J. Frank Hanly, of Indiana, who died of injuries received when the automobile in which he was riding was struck by a freight train Sunday, was very well known by Timothy Nicholson, of this city. Mr. Nicholson, who served on the Indiana Board of Charities from 1889 to 190S, served the last three years as a member of the board, under the administration of Hanly. "He was a strong man," said Mr. Nicholson Monday. "As a speaker he never handled his subject with gloves, but said very forcibly just what he meant. For this reason he was not so popular with a large number of people, but I found him a very fair man to deal with. "He was president of the board of charities by virtue of his office. He nearly always was present to preside at the meetings and there was little conflict between him and the board. As a worker for prohibition he was an influential man. Five or six years ago at a meeting in Indianapolis he said in a speech that if neither the Demo-! crats nor Republicans came out with a dry plank that he was in favor of the Anti-Saloon League forming a separate party. A number were of the same opinion but the majority was against the move as all of the work of the league has been non-partisan. It was decided that as prohibition was a moral question and not a political one, that work should not be pursued in that fashion. It was later that he came out as presidential candidate on the Prohibition ticket." Mr. Nicholson ended his work on the board of charities while Hanly was j still governor. His resignation was presented in 1908, one year before the expiration of Hanly's administration. Federation Puts on War Paint (By Associated Press) CHICAGO, Aug. 2.

Former Governor J. Frank Hanly DENNISON, Ohio, Aug. 2. J. Frank Hanly, former governor of Indiana and candidate for president on the prohibition ticket in 1916, and Dr. and Mrs. C. M. Baker, of Kilgore, Ohio, were killed six miles from here early Sunday, when a Pennsylvania freight train struck an automobile in which the party was driving to Kilgore. All three suffered fractured skulls and crushed bodies and none recovered consciousness after being brought to a local hospital. Mr. Hanly died at 9 a. m.. Mrs. Baker at 11:30 and her husband at 3:30. Dr. and Mrs. Baker had met Mr. Hanly in Dennison at 6:45 o'clock this morning and were driving him to their home in Kilgore, 20 miles from here. The Baker automobile was driven across the Pennsylvania tracks back of one freight train and directly in front of another. The automobile was struck squarely. Mr. Hanly was en route to Carrollton, where he was to have delivered an address Monday. He had Intended to pass the day with the Bakers at their liome in Kilgore. J. Frank Hanly was born in St. Joseph's, 111., April 4, 1863. He was educated in the common schools of Champaign county. For eight years, from 1881 to 1889, he taught in public schools, but in the meantime studying law; When he was ready for examina tion for admission to the bar, he abandoned the school room and in 1SS9 received a license to practice law in Indiana. Mr. Hanly opened his office in Williamsport, where he remained for seven years, removing to Lafayette, Ind., in 1896, where he maintained his law office until 1905. His first political office was obtained in 1890, when he was elected to be a member of the Indiana senate. In 1894 he was elected to be a member of J congress. After his retirement from the house of representatives he resumed the practice of law in Lafayette. Two years later he was an unsuccessful candidate for the office of Cnited States senator. He was Governor of Indiana from 1905 to 1909. Was on Lecture Platform In 1916 Mr. Hanlv was the candidate of the Prohibition party for the office of president. After this campaign, which brought him still further Into national prominence, Mr. Hanly devoted himself chiefly to the lecture platform, in which he achieved a wider reputation than his previous activities had earned for him. Soon after the 1906 campaign Mr. Hanly became associated with Oliver W. Stewart, of Illinois, in the publication of the National Prohibitionist, the national organ of the prohibition party, Mr. Hanly being editor-in-chief of the publication. Three years ago he became one of the organizers and a member of the l-lying squaaron, an aggregation oi Prohibitionists who made a whirlwind campaign in the United States in an effort to arouse sentiment against the liquor traffic. Mr. Stewart also was associated with him in this campaign, as was Dr. Ira LandrUh, of Tennessee. After this campaign, Mr. Hanly devoted himself to the lecture platform, and it was when engaged in this work that the accident occurred which cost him his life. Mr. Hanly's home was in Indianapolis, at 2082 North Meridian street. In 18S1, Mr. Hanly married Miss Eva A. Simmer, of Williamsport, Ind., who survives him. CHICAGO, Aug. 1.

RAISE LIGHT PLANT "ANTI" TO $225,000 AT BOARD MEETING When the board of public works met Monday Matt Von Pein presided as president. He was recently appointed to the board to succeed Harry W. Gilbert, who resignedWith a firm hand' Mr! Von" Pein steered the board directly into the tempestuous municipal plant expansion question, which indirectly resulted in the resignations of Mr. Gilbert and of By ram C. Robbins, city attorney. At the suggestion of Mr. Von Pein, the board adopted a resolution author

izing Will Reller, the new city attorney, to prepare an ordinance for introduction in council Monday evening providing an additional appropriation of $50,000 for the installation of the proposed 5.000 k. w. turbine unit at the municipal plant, which would make a total appropriation of $225,000 for that purpose in the event council passes Monday evening an $175,000 appropriation ordinance which will come up for final reading. Want a $225,000 Ordinance The new president and othe other board members expressed the opinion that the appropriation for the proposed plant unit should not be less than $225,000, which sum, it is believed, will approximate the cost of purchase and installation of the unit by the contracting company. Mr. Von Pein stated that he was not satisfied with the specifications which had been prepared for the unit because1 no provision had been made for alternating bids, one bid for furnishing the unit but not installing it, the other bid for both the sale and installation of the unit. Mr. Gilbert, the former board president, attended the meeting and presented a letter he had received from Mr. Gorman, chief engineer of the Indiana Public Utilities commission, in which Mr. Gorman expressed a willingness to assist the city in contracting for the new plant unit. Letter Placed on File. He advised, however, that he would be reluctant to appear before council to advise that body unless council invited him to do so. The only action taken on the matter by the board was to instruct the clerk to place the letter on file. On the recommendation of Superintendent Dillon, of the municipal plant, the board instructed the city attorney to prepare an ordinance transfering from the general fund of the plant $5,000 to the coal account and $40,000 to the payroll account. New Floor on Doran Bridge Owing to the very poor condition of the flooring of the Doran bridge, it has been found necessary to regulate the traffic passing over it until necessary repairs can be made. Council will receive an ordinance Monday evening which will prohibit the operation of trucks over the structure and all other classes of vehicles which carry loads weighing more than 1,500 pounds. One woman telephoned to the board that there was a place on the Doran bridge which would give way under the weight of a horse. The city engineer plans to begin work as soon as possible on placing a new flooring on the bridge. It is probable heavy traffic will be excluded from the bridge for at least four months. Board to be in Office Mr. Von Pein called to the attention of the board 'the criticism frerufnuy neara lnat lt was dlttlcult to ,ocatp hoard members except Monday and Thursday forenoons, when regu lar board meetings were held. He suggested that on days when board meetings were not held that one member be at the board office every morning from 10 to 12 o'clock.
