Washington. July 22. A 20 per
cent increase In all passengor fares
on the railroads of tho United States
nd an Increase In freight rates of
approximately 8 per cent. In addition j
to the 28 per cent already asked was
recommended to the Interstate Com
merce Commission by the Association
of Railway Executives to-day.
These Increases, H la estimated, will
bring revenues to such a point as to
cover the recent wago advance and in-
sure tho return to tho carriers pro-
vlded In tho transportation act. The
Increases proposed will maintain the
relationship. It is believed, between
freight and passenger earnings on the
railroads.
In detail tho additional Increases
proposed by the railroad men provide
(or:
An Increase of six-tenths of a cent
mile in passenger fares, making
the fare 3.6 cents a mile; a 20 per
cent increase ;n excursion, conven
tion and other fares for special occa
sions; an Increase of 20 per cent on
all commutation tickets; a 20 per
cent Increase in extra fares on lim
ited trains and club cars; an Increase
of 20 per cent In excess baggage
rate:, snd an lncrcaso of 50 per cent,
or one-half charge, for Pullman or
sleeping cars.
An Increase on all rates on milk by
approximately 36 per cent An addi
tional Increase on freight and switch
ing revenues abovo tho gross 38 per
ent. already provided to make up the
full difference in providing an aggre
gate Increase of 626,000,000 a year.
The Estimated Itetnrn.
It will be recalled that the L C. C.
has heard and taken under advisement
prop,, of the raUroad executive, for
an averago Increase In freight rates of
!! per cent, regarded as necessary to
bring the return provided In the trans-
portatlon act before the wago award
aj handed down.
Railway officials estimate that the
"otal increases now proposed from all
fourccs In each of the three railroad
ttrritorles would meet the increases In
w&scs In these territories and would
be as follows:
Eastern 5318,739,535, Southern 69.-

Mr. Vandcrbllt had been 111 since April
15 last, when ho was suddenly stricken
while attending the races at AuteulL
He was ono of tho most ardent racing
enthusiasts and sportsmen in France.
Mr. Vandcrbllt was 71 years old.
Mrs. Vandcrbllt, his sons, Harold
and- W. K. Vanderbllt, Jr, and his
daughter, tho Duchess of Marlbor
ough, were 'with him when the end
came.
Otllcial announcement of Mr. Van-
denbllt's death was contained In a bul
letin Issued by his physician, Dr. Ed
mund L. Oros, this evening. Dr. Gros
said that Mr. Vandenbllt's death was
due to heart disease, from which he
had suffered for a long time. This
disease, he said, was Induced by heavy
smoking, Mr. Vanderbllt at ono time
having averaged a box of cigars a
day.
Observing the bad effects of such ex-
c&ulve smoking, Dr. Gros forbade Mr.
Vanderbllt to smoke more than three
cigars a day, one after each meal, and
preferably the cheapest kind in order to
get the mildest tbhaxco.

scratched ln the races at Le Tremblay
yesterday It was Immediately thought
his condition was worse, but Inquiries
at his home brought the answer from
his son. "Father Is Improving. We have
no cause for alarm."
WON RECOGNITION AS
RAILROAD EXECUTIVE
W. K. Vanderbllt Spent Later
Years in Europe.
William Klssam Vanderbllt was born
Into a heritage of great power. The
second son of William II. Vanderbllt
end grandson of Commodore Vandcrbllt,
he came, upon the death of his brother,
Cornollus, Into the control of tho great
'New York Central lines, built up by his
grandfather Into one of the strongest
railroad properties of the country, and
which he himself was to extend over a
still wider territory. He was for many
years the head of the family, whose name
was ln every country of Europe a syno
nym for American wealth, power and
opportunity. He sailed for France on
La Savole early this year to undergo,
It was said, medical treatment
He was born on the country estate
of his father at New Dorp, Staten Island,
December iz, i&t j. unnwe most or me
men of his family, after the Commodore,
he was not a college trained man. His
early education was received from pri
vate tutors in Now Tork, and later he
was sent to Geneva, Switzerland, where
he spent several years In the comple
tion of his studies.
In tho years that followed William
K. Vanderbllt aided greatly of course by
the opportunities which were his birth
right made himself recognized as c
railroad man and financier of real abil
ity. He had to a considerable degree
tho force and initiative, quick, keen
Judgment and largeness of vision which
had characterized nis grandfather, the
Commodore.
The Commodore's work had been his
life, but his grandson found much
time for tho pursuit of pleasure both
at homo and abroad. In the later
years of his life he ttpent much bf his
time In Europe and withdrew almost
c6mpletely from active participation In
the control of his properties.
His reputation as a sportsman was
International. He was long a patron
of the French turf, of yachting and of
automobile racing In tho United States.
For forty years Mr. Vandcrbllt had
been one of the leading and most gen
erous patrons of the French and Amer
ican turf. He owned tho Sheepshead
Bay race track when that track waa
one of the best known centres of racing
ln this country.' in recent years he had
confined his racing to France, although
ha remained one tne Jargest stock
holders In the company that owned
Belmont Park and also held a lanro
block of stock In the Saratoga track.
He owned a racing stable at Polssr.
France, which he augmented greatly by
purchasing a number of horses from
the late James It. Keene.
He alto raced frequently In Erlglanil,
and notaoie among nis uorses were

folk and Olbetln. He also was a mem
ber of several syndicates that built de
fenders of tho America's Cup. He owned

NEW CHALLENGE BEADY

Crucial Contest
.1
On the evo of tho fourth ana possj
bly the deciding race for tho America's
Cup it became known last night that
in case Shamrock IV. wins plans are
well under way for tho New York
Yacht Club to challengo with a 115
foot schooner, the maximum length
allowed under the deed of gift
This fact was disclosed on tho Mon
tauk, tender of the Resolute, In Sandy
Hook Bay. W. L. Gardner, who de
signed the sloop Vanltlo and tho
schooner Westward for Alexander
Smith Cochran, has a commission to
build the challenger, and he has out
lined his plans.
Mr. Gardner is regarded as one of
the most skilful yacht designers in
Americn. The Vanltie was an aspirant
for tho honor of defending the Cup and
was barely nosed out by the Resolute
in trial races. Many yachtsmen still
believe Vanltie Is a better boat than
the Herrcshoff sloop.
The race to.day Is over the triangular,
course and th'e" weather forecast is fair.
with light, southerly winds.
The special yacht race forecast made
at midnight by the local Weather Bu
reau,- was as follows:
"Winds off Sandy Hook to-day will be
mostly gentle and southerly, with partly
cloudy weather and possibly somewhat
unsettled."
The three cornered course favors the
Shamrock, as her weakness Is windward
work. Sho will have only ten miles to
windward at 'most and if she is lucky,
as sho was Tuesday, she will have none
at all. In three straight reaches
across the wind experts agree the chal
lenger can beat the Resolute.
Off Day on Both Yachts.
Should the committee signal a course
off shore, instead of close to the Jersey
coast, and should a fair breeze prevail,
it Is the onlnlon of Skipper William
p. Burton and his adviser, Capt. "Jack"
Appelgate of Long Branch, that It will
be all over but tne shouting.
It was an off day yesterday and the
crews of the two yachts rested. Sham
rock was towed to the dry dock of the
Staten Island Ship Building Company,
where her bottom and sides were brushed
and polished until they were like n
mirror and a new topmast was set.
Thismeans she will enter to-day's race
with a smaller topsail, and her handl
cap will be reduced twenty-one seconds,
making the Rtsolute's time allowance
six minutes and forty seconds. Instead
of seven minutes one second, as in the
last race.
The official measurements, liowever.
cannot be taken until after the race, and
If the result Is close tho winner may not
bo announced until several hours after
the yachts have crossed the finish line.
The new topmast Is said to be much
stronger than the old one, which had
shown signs of weakness.
Several minor alterations wore made
and the challenger was towed back to
her moorings inside the Hook late yes
tcrday afternoon. Off Robblns Reef
she was manoeuvred by the tug for half
an hour while hor compasses were ad
lusted. The Resolute remained at her
moorings In the Horseshoe, whero an
Inspection was made of her sails and
rigging.
Hay Use Schooner Yachts.
The report that the next race for the
America's Cup might bo between
schooner yachts ln tho event of the
trophy returning to England will un
doubtedly arouse tho enthusiasm of
vachtsmcn. The vessel wnicn won tne
Pun in 1331. the old America, was a
schooner 88 feet long on the waterllne,
.iml the onlcer3 or tno .now iorK lacnt
Club have decided to return to tho old
style of racing craft and will go the
limit In size allowable under the deed
of gift by which the Cup was left to
the club by tne laie ueorge u. ocnuyier.
It Is understood that should the oc
casion arise .the challenge will bo handed
to H. L- Garrett representing the Royal
Ulster Yacht Club, at the conclusion of
the race by George Cormack, secretary
of the New York Yacht Club, who sails
on the Resolute as timer.

London, July 22. "Is it a new
world war?" That question was
heard all over London t-day follow
ing tho grave tenor of Premier Lloyd
Qcorgo's speech ln the Houso of Com
mons on the Russo-Polish situation.
Anxloty regarding this situation
was reflected in the market to-day and
Continental and British gilt edgo se
curities and Continental exchanges
fell off seriously.
Newspaper comment here varies be
tween the opinion of tho Olobe, rep
resenting important financial Inter
ests, to tho effect that Great Britain
cannot and must not become involved
in new expenditures of money and
men, especially while sho Is In her
present weary state, to Lord North-
cllffe's Evening A'etcs, which says that
to permit the Bolshevik! to effect a
Junction with Germany would result
In a new Imperialistic Power In east
ern Eurono whlcH would rob tho
worlci of the fruits of the recent vic
tory over Prusslanlsm.
Official quarters hero make no ef
fort to minimize the gravity of tho sit
uation.
King necelves Premier.
Premier Lloyd George was received
by the King to-day in tno longest audi
ence In many months. Although tho
Premier was reported to havo outlined
to tho King "tlie results of the Spa con
ference," In other quarters It was stated
that the King expressed strongest views
on tho necosslty of taking such steps as
may be necessary to assure that civili
zation shall not bo deprived of the fruits
of tho world war.
On the other hand, labor has already
warned the Government that It will not
support a war against Russia. James
O'Grady, member of the House of Com
mons from Leeds and spokesman In the
House for tho Labor party's foreign .pol
icy, declared that Labor would not stand
for war with Russia and predicted a
revolution both ln England and ln
France If they entered Into a war with
Russia.
Meanwhile there ts no League of Na
tions to pour oil on the troubled waters.
However, Lord Robert Cecil and other
devotees of "the almost perfect world
State," which was to end all wars, con
tinue to Insist that there bo put Into
effect the once vaunted machinery of
conciliation or compulsion by economic
pressure before military pressure is re
sorted to, while statesmen who are
charged with actual repsonslbllty smllo
grimly over Premier Lloyd George duck
ing the Issue when he gave as an ex
cuse for not calling on the league Rus
alas well known hatred for that Instl
tutlon.
Lord Robert's friends stoutly Insist
that the original sin ln this connection
was ln that tho statesmen failed to
pply the machinery of the league
against Poland, where economic pres
sure and threat of a boycott might have
been effective. They assert that now
that this weapon Is being used against
Russia, H is glancing off the bear's
tough hide, hardened as he Is by such
treatment.
Meanwhile the British Foreign Office
denies that the Polish situation Is as
desperate as despatches from Paris In
dicate. They say at the Foreign Office
that there Is no truth ln the reDort that
civilians aro being evacuated from War
saw, but that latest Information received
here Is to the crrect that tho Polish
defence Is stiffening. At the same time
they admit that there Is no word from
Moscow or from Warsaw to Indicate
that armistice negotiations are Droeress.
lng. Thoy admit that every moment of
delay in this connection favors th nn.
rush of the Soviet armies Into Poland.
Preparing for Contingencies.
In view of this situation. Premier
L,ioya ueorges promise to "go to the
House of Commons" with any chance
In the situation Is construed hero oh
meaning that the Government recog
nizes the possibility of. and Is preparing
for, tremendous contingencies.
How this reacts on the man In th
street Is best Illustrated by the widely
circulated Evening Standard, ono of tho
powerful Hulton group of newspapers,
generally found in support of Lloyd
George, which says;

of tho Democratic cause.
This situation caused considerable
surprise, in view of the agitation con
ducted ln the last few days among
Democrats about heavy campaign con
tributions. The Democrats hastened
to explain.
"We don't need to place a limit on
the Democratic contribuUons," said Wil
bur Marsh, the committee treasurer.
"Most of ours will be from $10 fellows."
How much money the Democrats ex
pect to raise Is not exactly clear, but
the minimum Is fixed at 14.000,000 that
Is, if the campaign Is to be conducted
on the same scale as four years ago,
when tho cost was (2,000,000. The hope
is to get more than $4,000,000, with the
explanation that tho money will be re
quired because of the woman vote, ex
pected to come through the ratification
of the suffrage amendment by Tennes
see. When Information about the Demo
crats' plan for limitless contributions
reached tho ears of Republican leaders
returning to-night from the Harding
notification ceremonies ln Marlon they
smiled broadly. They took the attitude
that the -recent Democratic noise had
some reason behind It, and It looked to
them as If tho reason had been found.
"Look ouf orth C. them said, "for
contributions from some of the favored
war .profiteers who got fat contracts
thrqugh the War and Navy depart
ments." In spite of this the Democrats under
took to Justify their position on the
ground that the names and the amounts
of the contributions would be" posted
through reports to the Kenyon Commit

tures. It is exactly two weeks to-aay since
Gov. Cox received the telegram from

he will oppose any modification of tho ' H. O. Havcmeyer of New Tork, head of
Volstead law, but Gov. Cox said that he
has not yet sent an answer. It may bo
that the Bryan situation will be the
smoking out process.
Tho talk of Gov. Cox and his mana
ger. Mr. White, now Indicates strongly
that tho Democratic campaign, In the
early stages at least. Is bo to one of
"DroKresslve policies against standDat
policies," with the League of Nations
virtually submerged as an Issue.
"What Is being said about the League
of Nations?" Gov. Cox was asked.
The word I have been receiving,"
ho answered, "does not seem to centre
on anything In particular except the
general progressive sentiment."
Gov. Cox refused to comment on Sen
ator Harding's speech of acceptance.
'but he made plans to begin his own
within the next few days. He arranged
to go to Dayton to-morrow, and a part
of his time there will be devoted to this
work.

Marion. Ohio, July 22. The delega'
tlon of 100 women who made a pll
grimogo hero to-day to beg Senator
Harding to use his influence ln getting
favorable action on the suffrage
amendment in tho Tonnessee Legisla
ture decided to-night after a council
of war that they were not satisfied
with his attitude toward their cause
as expressed ln his speech to-day.
The women pressed the Senator to
givo positive assurance that ho would
try to havo a caucus called 'of tho
Republican members of the Tennessee
Legislature. Tho voto of that State
would be the thirty-sixth and deciding
one In giving to tho women the Fed
eral franchise.
In his speech of acceptance the Sena
tor expressed an earnest desire for ralU
ficatlon of the amendment and Indorsed
the plan for giving the vote to women.
The women leaders announced to-night
that unless the Senator took positive
action ln trying to torco the Tennessee
Leglslaturo to act they would continue
to urge their demand.
They will keep delegations here to
continue, the work and might resort
to picketing. They said they "were go.
lng to keep after tho Senator" and fol
low him wherever he goes.
Women took a conspicuous part ln
the ceremonies attending the notifica
tion of Senator Harding. The delegation
of 100 from fifteen States that called on
the Senator to seek his Influence tn ob
taining a favorable vote In Tennesseo
was under the leadership of tho Na
tional Women's party. The women
were dressed In white an'd wore sashes
the women's land army, said
"We need a thirty-sixth Stato and It
seems as if It Is as Impossible for us
to attain It as it was- for tho children
nf Israel to enter the Promised Land.
We know Moses was slow, but when it
comes to suffrage I believe he would
have to give the Republican party time
allowance. I have ottened wondered
what would havo happened if there had
been plcketers ln Egypt We know
Pharaoh was visited by every plaguo
under the sun, but history doesn't re
late whether plcketers were among
them."
Mrs. Havemeyer told the Senator IT,'
000,000 women were looking to him as
their friend to get favorable action ln
Tennessee, saying that If they lost there
they would have to go to Vermont and
he knew what that meant

Marion, Ohio, July 22. Peace by
declaration as soon as Congress can
pass It, and then a new association of
tho nations to prevent war through
justice rather than force, was tho pol
icy presented to tho American people
as a substitute for the League of Na
tions and Wllsonlan doctrines by Sen
ator Warren O. Harding to-day when
Informally accepting tho Republican
nomination for President ho outlined
the Issues of the 1820 campaign.
Accepting tho challengo given by tho
Democratic party and nominees to
make tho leaguo tho issue, Senator
Harding Jald down a completely new
principle for his party. Ho asserted
his leadership by throwing tho league
Into the discard, going further with
his reservations ovon than Senator
Lodge or Senators Johnson and Borah
ever thought of going.
While he struck as tho dominant
note ln his campaign the league issue,
tho Senator faced squarely and boldly
tho many complex problems of the
nation. Ho hedged on none. He went
to tho h,eart of every issue, declaring
his determination to havo an honest
referendum and make an end to flam
ing and futile promises. ,
i
For Drr Law Enforcement.
Whether tho Eighteenth Amendment
Is to to bo modified rests with Congress,
but as' long as the law stands tt must
be strictly enforced, he declared. His
declaration that modification or repeal
is the right of a free people did not
bring the expected demonstration, In
fact, his promise ot strlc enforcement
developed Into a big dry demonstration.
His llttlo "surprise party," as tho
Senator called his notification ceremony,
has proved an amazing outburst of
Republicanism, Ohio is on fire with tho
Harding sentiment Marlon is to-night
exhausted and elated. No expression
of the wild enthusiasm which has pre
vailed here since daylight this morning
can be extravagant

the pavilion In Garfield Park and prob
ably thirty thousand filled the park en
closure surrounding the hall. Fully as
many more In tho streets leading to the
park and In tho downtown sections gavn
up In their struggle to get within hearing-
distance,
The campaign is off with a bang and
a roar. The Senator supplied the issues
and the oratory which aroused the peo
ple to a vhlgh pitch of partisan ardor,
and tho Ohio public certainly has
responded with a variety Of pep and
enterprise which means big things for
the party in tho next few months.
Divisions In the party have disappeared.
Leaders and representatives of all fac
tions and Isms were here to-day, and
they are contesting in expressing their
complete satisfaction with the Senator's
keynote speech.
Senator Harding's address was made
In reply to Senator Lodge's short ad
dress of notification In which the Massa
chusetts man spoke a burning denuncia
tion of tho Wllsonlan, ursurpatlon of
power ! the autocratic tendency of tho
Government His declaration that tho
League of Nations, on which Wilson
and his party still insist, ought never to
be accepted by the American peoplo
brought forth a great roar of approval.
The greatest acclamation ot tho day
greeted Senator Harding's promise to
arrange a formal and effective peace as
soon as Congress can pass its declara
tion. Even his complete rejection of the
League of Nations and his pledge to
carry out his new international prin
ciple to banish war did not evoke the
genuine outburst which greeted tho
prospect of early peace.
Mnrlon Marchers Appear First.
Not only was It Marlon's big day, but
It was Harding's too. and he was as
keenly Interested in all the proceeding?
as any nan or boy In tho city. Up be

the front yard awaiting the Marlon
Marching Club when Its several hundred
members, dressed In straw hats, blua
coats and white trousers, swung Into th
court of honor far down tho street. Tho

plaster cast eagle perched on top Just

blocks the court was gay with It
streamers and greens. Tho Senator
raised the flag, dedicating the gay ave

heart of the nation to-day.
