Miller was nought for his views on

Franklin Syndicate that Miller, the

The former get-rlch-qulck schemer

Never again, he said, could he be in

WILL PROBE COAL FAMINE
Chicago JudQe Orders Grand Jury to
Investigate
Chicago Aug. . .liidg,. Hobrrt U.
Crowe, chief justice of the Criinlun
Court, directed the August grand jury
today to investigate the .rial fa, m,
which threatens Chicago and deter So
whether or not any persons, firms or
corporations Cook counti' an- en
jrngeii in a criminal conspiracy to bring
about a coal shortage for the purpose
of manipulating the price.
Ileasons why. In his opinion, the city
should join in the fight against the nl
leged exorbitant $10,000,000 nnnunl
rentals paid to the underlying com
panies by the V. It. T. have been pre
pared by Councilman Joseph I. Oaff
ney. He probably will flic lliem with the
clerk of Council today..
Mr. Oaffney stated before Council last
Tuesday, when his resolution to have
the city join in the business men's fight
ngnlnst the rentals was defeated, thnt
he was going to make public his re-miis
for voting for the resolution.
Mr. (laffney's position Is that the
fare ipiestlon will never bv satlsfai'lorilv
settled until the "back-breaking" re.it-
nls piiul to the underlying companies
are reduced.
He contends the city solicitor Is not
directly attacking the excessive rentals,
nnd thnt the Cnlted Iluslness Mci's As
sociation nnd the Cliveden Improvi
ment Association have not the funds nor
the prestige In court thnt the city has
to wage this fight.
Disapproval of the suggested plan
of a "transit libprty loan" to flnanco
the Mitten mnnncrment of the ltanld
Transit Company in the crisis occasioned
by the break with w. T. Mtotcsuury is
expressed by Director Twining, of the
Ucpnrtmrnt ot .;ity xransu.
Mr. Twining branded the suggestion,
which wns maile ny .loan n. hlcvcn-
Hon, Jr.. a former owner of stock in
traction companies along the Old York
rond and a resident of Ablbgton, as
"absurd."
"Of course, the transit company
needs money, nnd It is to the interest
of tho people of Philadelphia that it
should get It," said Mr. Twining, "but
the lden thut money could bo rnised
out in tho streets among the people 1
silly. The company, by its own state
ment, is absolutely incapable of bor
rowing another cent with proper se
curity, nnd how can you expect the
neonle to tnke ill) a loan w-'lch is finan
cially unjustified?
"It is n far crv from selling na
tional or city bonds over the counter
to the ccncrnl public on the basis of a
patriotic or civic appeal to trying the
same methods on a purely private en
terprise undergoing severe financial up
hcnvnls," ho added.

Roads Need Month
to Fix New Rates
Continued from Van One
entlie country. They were 120 per cent
on passenger, milk and excess bnggagc
charges and CO per cent on rntes for
sleeping nnd parlor car space.
In tho case of freight rates, however,
tho cwriers will nsk the states to ad
vance these tariffs to correspond with
the increases granted by the federal
commission for the territory in which
the state is located. The interstate in
creases authorized aro 40 per cent in
eastern territory ; 25 in southern nnd
Mountain -Pacific territory nnd 35 in
western territory.
The first tusk of the railroads, it
was announced here yesterday, will be
the rehabilitation of their lines. The
railroads, their representatives in
Washington said, hope to be able to
start at once placing orders for 10,000
freight cars, 2000 locomotives nnd 11000
passenger coaches to cost approxi
mately SO.000.000,000, fixed by the
ronds as the minimum equipment thnt
Is necessary to place them once more
upon a stable operating basis.
Iu announcing that the applications
for Intrastate advances would be made
to the state commissions, Alfred P.
Thorn, general counsel of the Associa
tion of Hallway Executives, said tlienc
Increases would not enlarge the gross
income io do received ny me ronds un
der the decision of the Federal Com
mission, because in presenting their
case the carriers had based their est!
mates on corresponding Intrastate state
rate advances.
The railway executives have not eal
cuiateil tlie total inci eased revenue to
tie derived fiom the rate advances, but
from their estimates presented to the
commission at the public hearing the
sum hos been unofficially approximated
nt $l.f00.000.000. The commlsiinn's
decision is Intended to so fix rutes as
to give the ronds the (I per cent return
nn their aggregate value permitted by
the transportation act.
Coastwise and inland steamship com
panies nnn eiecine railway lines nre
permitted under tlie Interstate Com
merce Commission's decision lo rnlse
only freight rntes. Nothing wns said
by the commission as to passenger rates
on the steamboat lines, but tlie decision
did say specifically that the freight rute
increase granted electric railway lines
was "not to De construed as an ex
pression of disapproval of increases,

Doctor Mntiicci declared ninny bodily
