RATE BOOST SUIT Interstate Commerce Commission Closes Hearing of Western Shippers' Case ONLY AN ENTERING WEDGE Decision Against Lines Will Halt Increase in All the Ad vances Planned (Associated Press) CHICAGO, Nov. I.—Presentation of evidence in the rat 3 hearing before the Interstate commerce commission was closed this afternoon. Arguments on the evidence will be heard by the com mission at Washington on December 14 and after due deliberation the com mission will announce what It Is gen erally considered will be the moat Im portant decision It has ever given. The hearing was instituted at the in stance of shippers who rose In protest when western railroads announced that rates on fifty different commodi ties would be advanced. Opposition to this became general and the railroads agreed not to put the new rates into effect until the interstate commerce commission had conducted a hearing at which the shippers should be heard as to the fairness of the proposed ad vances. Hearings were held at Now York and Chicago, conducted at first by an ex aminer, but later, owing to the para mount Importance of the case. Com missioners Clark and Lane assumed the duty. It took the shippers only a few hours to introduce evidence, but an imposing mass of statistics and tes timony went into the record for the railroads. ATTACK RAIMtOAD EVIDENCE The shippers wer«« represented by a number of attorneys who confined their efforts largely to attacking the rail way evidence rather than to original testimony for themselves. Railway men admitted that the advance in rates on the fifty commodities which formed the basis of the hearing was merely an entering wedge, the ultimate purpose being to advance rates all along the line. According to the ship pers the final effect of this policy would be to place a tax of $400,000,000 on the consumers. In a general way the argument pre sented by the railroads was that In creased rates were necessary for tho following reasons: First—lncreased wages to employes. Second —Increased cost of mainte nance and operation. Third —Public demand for Increased efficiency and expansion of transpor tation facilities. The position taken by the shippers was that the railroads were receiving a generous return on their actual in vestment and among other things they sought to show on cross-examination that the low rate of earning shown in the statistics presented was due more to over-capitalization than to low rates. During the examination of Stanley H Johnson, assistant freight traffic manager of the Rock Island road, Com missioner Lane aaked some pointed questions. "I have found in my ex perience," he said, "that railroads find very little difficulty In raising rates without much Justification and at any time they see lit. If there were no restraint placed on the railroads could not the roads advance the rates with out end?" , "Of course. If the railroads were ut terly Indifferent to public opinion and were not a body of fair-minded men, the rates might be raised endlessly, but this would not be done as the railroads only ask a fair profit," re plied Johnson. "Is it not a fact," asked Commis sioner Lane, "that deep down In the Tnlnd of the traffic manager he knows that even the present rate is too high?" This brouglr a laugh from the crowd, during -Which the witness replied in the negative. . ADMITS RATE AGREEMENTS "In the course of his testimony John son admitted that no general advances In rates were made by the railroads without agreement with other com petitors. "If they did," he added, "it would mean going out of business." Attorney Ellis, representing the Chi cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul, Intro duced tables showing the effect which the proposed advances would have on traffic in South Dakota and North Da kota. The tables showed that the in creased revenue on 1,634,667,800 pounds of wheat, coarse grain, flour and other mill products'would amount to $246,675. His tables showed that of the proposed Increase, which on all commodities he •stimated at $568,000, nearly half would come out of the farmers of the two Dakotas. Ellis declared that while railroad ratas have been standing still the farmer has been earning $8.50 more an acre from his farm. The road, he declared, is asking only an Increase of 13 cents an acre for freight charges on farm products. "That'e not so bad," said the wit ness. "We helped the farmer to get that $8.50 and for our share we ask only 13 cents." WESTERN SHIPPERS LOSE, DESPITE LEGAL VICTORY CHICAGO, Nov. I.—After winning » fight for lower freight rates by two years' constant, effort, western ship pers are to be pushed back to their starting point through action taken to day by the railroads, because the limit of the interstate commerce commis sioner's control is about to expire. The commission law states that a decision of the commission shall last two years and rates may then be scheduled^or change again. Two years ago, November 10, the commission gave a decision favoring the shippers In the west. The matter was then taken Into the courts by the railroads and last woek the supreme court gave Its decision, also favoring the shippers. Now the railroads have filed sched uled with trie commission setting the rates back at the old point. The rates affected were Included in ♦♦<«> Missouri river rate case.

The first prop osition, as originally adopted, is a mandatory instruction on the first leg islature to provide general publicity for campaign funds before election, but as reported by the revision com mittee it provides for publicity be fore and after." The vote on adop tion was 49 to 1. There was an extended debate on a proposition reported*by the Judiciary committee providing that no law be enacted in the state limiting tn« amount of damages to be recovered for causing death or injury to any per son in making void any contract made by employes of any corporation waiv ing right to recover damages. A question arose about including passengers aa well as employes, and after numerous speeches the proposi tion was amended to read, "Any con tract or agreement to waive any right to recover damages for death or in jury shall be void." The entire prop osition was then referred to the ju diciary committee. It is understood the proposition allowing the state to engage in industrial pursuits will be voted down by the legislative commit tee, the opposition characterizing it as an "entering wedge of Socialism." Friends of the measure, nevertheless, announce they will bring it before the convention. The debate on the Initia tive and referendum, which was sched uled for today, was postponed at the request of the members who are pre paring speeches, and is expected to come up about Thursday: The feature of tomorrow's session probably will bo a public hearing on suffrage, at which several suffragists -will speak.

MEXICAN TROOPS PURSUE KIDNAPERS OF AMERICAN GIRL Two Regiments Join the Mounted Police and Posse in Search for the Desperadoes VICTIM'S FATE IS NOT KNOWN Grace Rolph, 16-Year-Old Neb raska Miss, Carried Away Into Wild Region (Associated Press) MEXICO CITY, Nov. I.—The fate of Grace Rolph, the 16-year-old Nebraska girl who was kidnaped by Mexicans several days ago from a ranch in the state of Tamalpais, was still in doubt tonight. No word has come from the posse that went in pursuit of the kid napers. Two regiments of troops are now In pursuit of the men. The country Into which tho kidnap ers and pursuers have plunged Is wild and sparsely settled, and the absence of facilities for communication, it Is said, make It doubtful if anything can be heard of them until the men arfl captured or the posse returns baffled. In the meantime the Mexican au thorities have taken active steps to aid in the capture. Squads of rurales, the Mexican mounted national police, have been sent Into the Huasteca dis trict from the opposite direction, with instructions to search the country thoroughly. Foreign Minister Creel to day at the request of the American ambassador. Instructed the governors of Vera Cruz and Tamalpais to assist in the search in every possible man ner. If the men are captured, he says, they will receive the extreme limit of punishment under tho law.

"■"• STUDENT ELOPERS OUTRAGE MOTHER Mary Maier and Martin Tisdale, High School Pupils, Have Exciting Adventure SAN BERNARDINO, Nov. I.—Three cities in San Bernardino valley were today treated with as many chapters in one of the most sensational elope ments on record. The developments in I the matrimonial marathon that finally ended In the safe marriage of Miss Mary L. Maler, age 18, and Martin Tis dale, age 19, both high school students of Redlandu, were fast and furious, commencing with a footrace through the principal streets of that city, in which the young girl succeeded in out distancing her mother and gaining the automobile in which her sweetheart was waiting. The course then lay across the val ley to San Bernardino, the automobile hurrying without regard to speed lim its in an effort to head off possible intervention of the angry parent either by trolley or another machine. Here the young people were met by the father of the lad, who had given his consent to the marriage and already secured the license. KOTHTSR LATE AT SCEXK The elder Tisdale climbed in the au tomobile and the last lap of the race was started for Colton, where the two sweethearts were made husband and wife before the mother of the girl could reach the scene. Rev. E. L. B. Mc- Clellan of the Presbyterian church of Colton performed the ceremony, while J. A. Tisdale, the father, bestowed his blessing on his new daughter and his son. The Redlands high school was the scene of the courtship of the couple, and they had secretly agreed that No vember 1 should be their wedding day, despite the objection of the girl's mother, who desired that her daughter graduate with her class before taking up the duties of a wife. It is said that her father, Jacob Maier, of 112 Olive street, Redlands, had no serious ob jection and absented himself when ha saw the storm brewing. Miss Maier left home as usual to go to school, but taking with her more clothing than seemed necessary. After she left her mother suspected that a plot was on to defeat her objections, and set out in search of her daughter. She met her on one of the business streets of the city, and the footrace that took the two through stores, back alleys and a livery stable started. APPKALS PUZZLE CROWDS "Stop' her," screamed the mother as she saw her daughter gaining ground. "Stop her," yelled the fleeing girl, and the crowd in puzzled uncertainty allowed both to floe on without inter ference. Miss Maier escaped her mother by scrambling through a livery stable and jumping into the automo bile of her sweetheart at the appointed place. Tisdale is a football hero of the Red lands high school.

I.—Whether there will be a general strike of aU teamster* in the metropolitan district In sympathy with the walkout of the express com panies' employes rests upon the de cision of William 11.

Hitherto most of the magistrates have been content to inflict small lines on such offenders. Two magistrates announced today that, beginning to morrow, anyone convicted of disor derly conduct in connection with the strike would be given a workhouse sentence. Steps looking toward the restora tion of express service throughout the city were taken today by the execu tive committee of the Merchants' as sociation, acting on the complaint of members that the strike has caused disorganization and great inconveni ence. The committee urged the police to afford necessary protection for opera tion of all express wagons. OTTMr^T IV <"TIPTT?CI • DAILY Se. ON TRAINS la. OJ.ll VjrJUilt \J\JS. JLCiO . ki;m;.%Y.4 So.

I.—The en tire voting population of Coalinga turned out to greet the Bell party with uproar of anvils and bombs to night. Over 2000 men jammed the Ar cade rink and gave the Democratic candidate for governor and his aids undivided atatention for two hours. The meeting ended in a wild storm of cheers and yells o! encouragement. Tim Spellacy was in his element. As he alighted from the auto a crowding circle of friends hastened to shake hands with him. Spellacy made a short convincing talk, after which Bell was introduced. Bell put his Republican opponent on the defensive from the start. As he shot his telling arguments at the au dience he was many times interrupted by storms of applause. "Has Johnson promised to do any thing to take the state Institutions out of politics?" he said. "I am making that promise. A man has no right to a position of trust merely because he is a Democrat or a Republican. I pledge myself to make appointments from a non-partisan standpoint. But what of Johnson?" At Hanford every Inch of the Han ford opera house was occupied by the crowd which turned out to hear Bell. As much of Lemoore as could pack itself into the town opera house was out to hear the Democratic candidate. "This town's all for you, Theodore," was frequently shouted from the au dience. The Bell party left Fresno to night for San Francisco, in the vicinity of which city the party will spend the closing days of their campaign.

I.—Mounted police men charged threatening mobs of strik ing garment workers and made numer ous arrests today In three sections of Chicago, only to be dumfounded when met by obdurate groups of well known club and society women, who produced engraved calling cards at police sta tions in lieu of bail bonds. It was a new experience for the po lice, and plainly confused them. A score of these women champions of thH garment workers who faced today's rioting were taken into custody. They were immediately released, however, when their identity became known to the police. One of them was Injured when struck by a policeman's club, but her name did not become known as she was hurriedly placed in an automobile and taken to her home. Most of the women of prominence In volved in today's demonstration were garbed as working girls, and for this reason the police could not have dis tinguished them from strikers until af ter arrests had been made. I'lllJlE DISPERSE CROWDS Riotous and spectacular scenes de veloped in the downtown district, on the north side and on the west side. More than 500 men and women engaged in a downtown demonstration which was broken up by the police after con siderable trouble. As they left their headquarters in La Salle street the strikers and their sympathizers clanged bells, blew whistles and tooted horns. The downtown lino of march proceed ed into the wholesale district near the river, passing near large tailoring es tablishments where employes were beckoned to Join the strikers. More than 2000 took part in one of several demonstrations on the west side. In each instance women headed the crowds of strikers and their friends. "I would take oath that we were doing absolutely nothing beyond the iaw," said Miss Ellen Starr, one of the club women who has become a strike picket. "The only persons who were vio lating the law were the policemen, who treated us roughly and hurt dreadfully with their clubs some of the poor boys we were leading peace fully past the shops* If there had been a real riot this morning—and it would not have taken much to have made one—it would have been incited altogether by the police." VOLUNTEER PICKETS ANGRY Miss S. M. Franklin, another of the volunteer pickets, was indignant be cause of the manner in which she had been treated by the police. "I know they would not have let me go if I had not presented my card," said Miss Franklin. "They seemed to think I was a particularly dangerous character. Perhaps it would have been a good plan to let them take me to jail and just prove to them how little legal foundation they have to stand on." Promises from well-to-do women to open their homes to destitute striking girls, volunteers for picket service from among women well known as social and club leaders, and pledges of any assistance within their power from many other women were received by Mrs. Raymond Robins, president of the Women's Trade Union league, to- day. Helen M. Todd, a deputy factory in spector, who addressed a meeting of strikers today, volunteered to address a meeting of University of Chicago girls tomorrow night. Mrs. Robins wtfl speak on the subject of the strike to the members of the Chicago kinder garten institute. In this manner it is expected to carry thu fight of tlia striking garment workers into every quarter of the city and to secure val uable aid for the cause. Mrs. Robins declared at. least fifty volunteer pickets from women's clubs and other sources outside the work ing girls will be actively engaged to- WOMTCNS CLUBS GIVE AID morrow, when further demonstrations are expected. "We cannot give their names at this time," said Mrs. Kobins. "We found it advisable in New York and I am sure we will here to keep the police guessing as to who our pickets are." Striking girls, club women and lead ers in the Women's Trade Union league will meet at a breakfast at a local restaurant tomorrow to discuss the strike. Among those who will be spe cial guests is Miss Catherine Coman. former professor of history at Welles ley college. Although several tailoring establish ments where strikebreakers are being employed were stoned today, only a few persons were injured and there were no fatalities. CHICAGO STRIKERS OPEN SCHOOL FOR PICKETERS CHICAGO, Nov. I.—A new phase In the strike of garment workers today was the inauguration of a system atic picketing- squad, ■'according to rules," for the women and girls. The Woraans' Trado Union league has com piled a "set of rules for girl pickets," and before the striking girls and the society women who came out in full force today were allowed on the picket lines, they first attended the "picket school." Legal talent was consulted yester day and the rules were written so as to keep the pickets within the letter of the law, so the police would have no pretext for their arrest. At least 16,000 of the 40,000 perse now on strike are girls and ■worn and they promise to be the strong- ' (Continued urn l'»s* Two)
