EFFECT OF RATE DECISION'.
INSURANCE BROKERS SAY
FIRE RATES MAY GO UP
As the Hesult of Board of Trade's In
vestigation of City's Engines.
Higher fire Insurance rates In tho city,
In tho opinion of Insurance brokers, may
follow the finding of Imperfect fire ap
paratus by the Board of Trade's special
commltteer to Investigate fire department
conditions. Although no action has been
taken and none can be predicted with
certainty, a general feeling of dlssatls
f Actl6n prevails on account of the report
that 60 per cent, of the Are department's
engines are obsolete and 40 per cent, of
tho hose defeotlve.
Robert M. Covin, a mtmhur nf the. Flrn
Vnderwrlters Association, said that tho
association had riot yet' considered tho
leport, but that Insuranca brokers had
for a long time suspected that protec
tion from a great firo was not of tho
best.
President E. C. Irvln, of the Flro As
sociation, refused to comment, saying
that politics was at tho bottom of tho
flro department's defectiveness. "I'll sny
one thing, though," he said, "If tho fires
continue tho rates will go up. Wo can't
sell our goods below cost."
"No one can say yet what effect tho
committee's report will have," said
George E. "Wagner, another broker. "The
rates wilt not go up Immediately though."
Tho report of tho committee, which
was read before tho Board of Trada yes
terday, mado revelations which were
characterized as startling. That Phila
delphia has been lucky In escaping a big
flro such as those which devastated Salem
and Baltimore, was Included afnong the
committee's findings.

road Commission has granted tho rail
roads of that State an advance of 5 per
cent. In class freight rates, nnd the Pub
lic Service Commission of Missouri has
before' It an application of the railroads
In the Stnto of Missouri for authority
to Increase freight, passenger and excess
basgato rates.
Tho new freight rates of tho railroads
of Illinois will go Into effect unless tho
Public Utilities Commission of that State
sets It aside. Shippers will fight tho now
rates.
The Railroad Commission of Michigan
had tentatlvo figures compiled, and, It is
understood, had determined to Issue an
order for the Incrcaso of 5 per cent., but
desired to give the railroads and shippers
and opportunity to express their opinions,
which were heard at a hearing before the
commission yesterday, resulting In tho
increase.
MORE THAN 5 PEIt CENT.
Tho figures compiled by tho commission
show that Detroit Is hit hardor than any
oiner cuy, yei me commission's proposed
incrcaso is lower than tho roads specified,
5 per cent., but the largest Increases wore
at points where the tonnage was heaviest,
and smallest where the tonnage waa light
est, thereby giving tho railroads con
siderably more than an average of 5 per
cent.
The Public Service Commission of Mis
souri yesterday, upon the application of
attorneys of the railroads, postponed tho
date on which tho commission will tako
up tho requost of tho roads for Increases
In freight, passenger and excess baggage
rates from October 27 to December 1.
The postponement was granted after tho
railroads' attorneys said that they would
be unable to compile, the necessary data
by October 27.
In support of their application, rail
road executives conferred with Governor
Mnjor, of Missouri, in Jefferson City.
President Dush, of tho Missouri Pacific,
told the Governor that in tho year end
ing June SO tho Missouri ' Pacific, the
Wabash, tho St. Louis Southwestern, the
Chicago, Itock Island and Pacific, and
the Missouri, ICnnsas and Texas had each
lost from $1,000,000 to $3,500,000.
WAU A FACTOIt.
It was pointed out that; when the Euro
pean war began tho strain on tho rail
roads was almost at a breaking point,
and the war had destroyed credit, Tho
two-cent passenger law, now In effect In
Missouri, was nttacked. Governor Major
said that he would give the argument
consideration.
The Ann Arbor Railroad h.-iB applied
for nn Injunction In the United States
District Court at Detroit to prevent the
Attorney General of Michigan nnd the
members of the State Tax Commission of
that State from Interfering with the
railroad In case It raises passenger rates
from two to three cents a mile.

Interests well versed In flnanco today
expressed strongly their belief that be
fore tho New York Btock Exchange shall
bo formally reopened for actlvo trading
soma scheme of regulation either Fed
eral or Stato should bo adopted covering
Its operations.
Qcorgo W. Perkins, In New York, Is
sued a statement In which he points out
that, inasmuch as tho Stock Exchange la
nn International market and n. necessity,
It should bo regulated by law. Ho pre
fers Federal regulation, but If this Is
not to bo had ho advises State control.
In Washington Senator Mllos Poindex
ter declared that n tremendous opportu
nity to Inspire the public with confidence
and tako a step In tho direction of re
storing normal financial conditions would
bo for tho New York Btock Exchange
to submit voluntarily to "some form of
governmental regulation" before reopen
ing.
Whllo declaring It was highly destrablo
that Bomo form of governmental regula
tion should be imposed on tho exchange
boforo reopening, Senator Shaffroth, one
of tho Senators on the Banking Commlt
teo who stood by Senator Owen In his
efforts to havo passed last winter a bill
for the regulation of stock exchanges,
ndmltted today that there waa no lmme
dlato prospect of national legislation.
THE PERKINS STATEMENT.
"The Stock Exchango has ceased to bo
a private or oven a national concern,"
said Perkins. "It Is International, .the
great market ot tho world. Tho attacks
mado upon It In recent years have shaken
public confldenco nnd seriously Injured
business. The only way to restore that
confidence Is to placo the exchango under
control. Now Is tho tlmo to do It and
steps towards that end should bo taken
Immediately.
"Personally 1 would like to see It under
Federal supervision, but .Jf wo aro not
ready to go that far the State should do
It, In plnco of this being a handicap to
tho oxchango It would be a great benefit
nnd a distinct advantage and protection
to purchasers of securities.
"As for any talk about tho Stock Ex
change not being a necessity, because
we havo got along for a couplo of months
without it, that Is sheer nonsense. Tho
Stock Exchange is as much a necessity
as the banks. Wo could llvo without
cither but how would wo llvo?"
WHAT SENATOR POINDEXTER
THINKS.
"I believe that the New York Stock
Exchango should be regulated by the Na
tional Government," said Senator Poin
dexter, "but, of course, it will be Im
possible for Congress to enact any legis
lation In tho immediate future looking
toward the regulation of stock exchnnges,
Adjournment Is upon us and tho next
session is tno snort one. In which we
will not have much more than enough
time to put thorough tho appropriation
bills.
"I do not know whether it would ba
practicable for the State of New York
to put Into effect any scheme of finvom.
mental regulation before the tlmo for
reopening the exchango comes or not.
but certain somo such regulation should
bo had.
"In the event that It Is impossible to
get through any legislation, either State
or Federal, tho Stock Exchunge mem
bers should show to tho public their de
riro to protect everybody from the sus
picion of double-dealing to offer volun
tarily to permit such regulation without
any law being passed compelling It,"
SENATOR SHAFFItOTH'S VIEWS.
"I Jhlnk something ought to be done by
tho .State of Now York." said Senator
Shaffroth. "There is intense opposition
in vxiih'ress 10 any federal regulation,
but there could not be the same opposition
to regulation by tho State of New York.
Rut I am not sure thnt It would b well
to rush through any legislation in the
Now York Legislature. Measures hurried
through are usually bo full of holes as
to he worthless.
Terhaps the Ideal situation would be
for the Vew York Stock Exchange gov
ernors to submit voluntarily to some form
of regulation."'

OARSMEN AT PEM
HAVE MERRY TIME
WORKING ON RIVER
Daily Practices Are Proving
Attractive to a Large Body
of Athletes Men in Fair
ly Good Shape.
By J. VATJGHAN MERRICK, III
Captain ot tho University of Pennsylvania
Craw.
Tho University of Pennsylvania varsity
eight finished second to Columbia at
Poughkccpsle last year. With nix of tho
eight men who rowed in this shell at
college, In addition to Herbert Shoe
maker, tho stroke, who was lost for tho
championship race becauso of nn opera
tion for appendicltlR, it seems to mo to
be tho year for Coach Vivian Nickalla
to win premier rowlntr honors.
The Red and liluo oarsmen are work
ing hard every afternoon on tho Schuyl
kill River. Tho sophomores. Juniors and
seniors havo not forgotten that Inst fall
Nickalla sprang a surprlso when ho got
together an eight which won the Inter
class championship. The rivalry this
year Is keen, for It la no secret that
NIckalls Is again devoting most of his
time to tho first-year oarsmen nnd that
the upper classmen will havo to bend to
their oars and "go soma" to win from
the "freshles."

COMMERCE COMMISSION ACTS
ON FREIGHT RATE CHANGES
Suspends Those in Some Sections and
Grants Others.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. Complaint
against tho rates on grain from all points
in Montana to Minneapolis and Seattle,
filed by the Railroad Commissioners of
Montana, was dismissed today by the
Interstate Commerco Commission. The
Northern Paclilc and other roads wero
defendants.
The commission held that tho reason
ableness or unreasonableness of freight
rates cannot be gauged solely by tho
ability or Inability of shippers under de
pressed market conditions to market
their products with profit under exist
ing rates.
The commission declared unreasonable
combination carload rates on bituminous
coal from mines on the Wabash-Pitts-burgh
Terminal Railway, in Pennsylva
nia, to points in Ohio and West Vln-lnl.,
reached by the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie
Railroad and the Daltlmore and Ohio
Railroad If they exceeded by more than
10 cents per ton Joint carload rates on
bituminous coal to the same destinations
from mines on tho West Side Belt Rail
road. TIib commission ordered established
Joint rates from points, on Its Una In
accordance with the terms of the de.
clslon.
Advance in the rates on farm wagons
and farm trucks, lawn swinss, porch
swings and seats from Fort Smith to
poltttB In Oklahoma located on the Okla
homa Central Railway were suspended
today by the commission from October
until February 17. Tho advances, vary
lug from 7 lo 10 cents per 100 pounas,
wero proposed by the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas Rallroud.
Tho sophomore boat is mado un of the,
winners of the Interclass race last year
and nro therefore considered dangerous
nsplrants for the title. With the ex
ceptlon of Drnyton, the boat Is Intact.
Drayton has taken Dick Ferris' placo at
No. 6. This change will not weaken tho
sophomore boat, as ha rowed at Annnnnlis
VV-f1tn L'Itt nrst"yettr athletes won tho raco be In excellent condition for the event
tic work. Nevertheless, the Bophomores
loom up strong nnd should glvo the
Junors and "freshles" a good pull to the
finish.
Coach Nickalls at last has his new
speed boat and ho Is happy. Tho Row
ing Committee promised him .1 launch to
tako tho place of tho Catamaran, and
this new craft was used tho first time
this week by tho Penn coach. He fol
lows the crews and coaches them in
their work on the river. "Rill" Web
fcter, brother of the Penn jrolf captain,
is chief engineer. Ho is always at tho
wheel alongside of tho coach when the
craft Is under way.
Summing overythlng up, I nm rather
elnted with this year's prospects for
lifting rowing honors. Tho freshmen are
doing well. NIckalls has them out alone'
most of the time, and I expect to see
them duplicate the good work of the
first-year bo-xt this season. The coach
is inclined to favor them In the Inter
class race, nnd he Is tlevotlng his time
to teaching them the right stroke and
perfecting their work In the boat
We have all but two of the varsity.
Chlckering, at bow; Butler, No. 2; Gar
vin. No. 5: myself nt No. 6: Littleton, 7;
Marcy, S, and Foster, as coxswain, mako

captnin, rowed No. 3. and ho Is gone n3
Is Peter IJlatz, No. 1. Wo hnvo many
good men for these two vacancies.
Manager Fred Davis is at present work
ing on a schedulo of ovents for the Red
and Blue onrsmen. It would not be a
surprise this year If a big triangulnr re
gatta would be rowed on the Schuylkill
River. Last year thoro was talk of a
dual race with Yale at Philadelphia, but
the Elio could not como here. Next
sprlrur may see nn event here which will
afford tho opportunity for thousands of
Phlladelphians to witness a collegiate
rare from the banks of the Schuylkill
The usual race with the Nnvy will bo
hold as well as the Chllds' Cup event
This was rowed on Lake Carnegie Inst
spring, when Columbia, Princeton and
Penn finished In the order named. It
would be a groat event for Philadelphia
to have the race for tho Chllds Cup come
hcr and Manager Davis, when asked
If this was likely, would not say whero
the event would be held.
At present tho date for tho Intercl.iBi
race Is October SI. A number of the oars
men In the Architectural Department
havo asked Coach Nickalls to hold the
event on Wednesday. Octobor 25, Instead,
as tho Sophs hove problems to work out
on Saturday. This change will likely bo
made, as the oarsmen havo been row

many of the seniors and Juniors havo

BY THE VOLLEYER
Although Phlladelphians nro not gen.
erally awore of the fact, ono of our
strrllnc tennis players has just passed un
an opportunity to carry off additional
honors on tho courts, Rnil the war. In.

fact. Wallace F. Johnson, of the Merlon

Miginia Hot Springs tournament, which
was recently concluded, did not defend
his honors this year.
It was a disappointment to I'MUdo!
