STARTS PROBE
IN R.R. RATES
Fifty -Two Railroads
; Applied for Freight
Increase
?.c2ds Claim to E3 Prepared
to Show Necessity tor
Advanced Rates
Washing-ton. June 21 On its own ini
tiative, the interstate commerce com
rnisslon, . today, began an inquiry into
the application of 52 railroads for in
- -creased rates. The commission denied
,-tl application of the roads to re-open
he old advance rate case of two years
ago. Hearings for railroads and ship
pers will -begin tills fall.
Announcement of the commission's
purpose was made, today, in the. form
"of two orders, based upon the petition
of the railroads five weeks ago seek
Jing perm lesion to advance freight
rates, both class and commodity, five
er cent.
In an effort to avoid the necessity
if or the new tariff, which would have
cost the roads at least 250,000, their
Vc f ficiaJa requested the commission to
ffe-open the old advance rate case that
."they might hare opportunity to dem
onstrate the necessity, as they view it,
f the proposed Increase of five per
'cent. Thle application was denied be
jcs use the commission preferred to con
sider the present application as entlre
'ly new. In ' the old case only class
Vatee were affected by the (proposed ad
vance; In the pending application it is
(Proposed to increase -all rates five per
Stent, horizontally.-
The questions involved are quite dif
ferent. As the proposition, stands, it
s a question to be detreminied by testi
mony and argument. The roads pe
iir it f-rtnr th are iweDared to show
the necessity for the expenditure of
many mmiooa or nonars xor nnj
Sjurposes, "among' which are enlarge
Anent of yards and terminals, addition
al trades, block signals, additional
heps. improvements in stations,
jchanges and eliminations of grade
crossings, new locomotives, new. pas-
, jsengw and freight cars and other
-equipment? that these large expendi
tures of money are demanded by ex
isting and future transportation con
ditions and must be made if your pe
.titi oners are to satisfy -the) needs of the
public for Improved and additional fa
cilities. It Is declare further that 'the net
reaming- produced: by existing rates are
eiot sufficiently large to furnish that
jtnargln of surplus which will afford
Rhe carriers the credit necessary to en
able them to seenre the additional
capital required for such necessary
purposes and it Is onIy through an
Increase In freight rates that this can
(be established.
In its order, the commission direct
ed that the Inquiry should cover two
points, vis.,
"Do the rates of transportation -nowp
imposed by common carriens by rail
road In official classification yield an
pqual net relmn; and
If, cot. what plan, shall be adopted
to Increase i such transportation
charges?"

Donovan Wins
Fight For His Constituents
Senate Finance Committee Accepts His View of Tariff
on Hats and Phillipine Cigars Also Secures Free
Admission of Important Alloy That Crane Valve
Co. Must Have In Its Manufactures Congress
man From Fourth District Showered With Congratulations.
(By Our Staff Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C June 21 Con
gressman Jeremiah . Donovan of the
Fourth C6nnectlcut district has won a
notable victory. Through hlffpower of
argument, backed up as it was by an
array of statistics, that proved - incon
testable, the senate finance committee
before which he made his argument
has agreed with him that the duty
on fur felt hats should be increased
from 40 to 45 . cents.
The senate committee on -finance -has
before it the tariff bill which passed
the House. It is holding - bearings
that those who feel aggrieved over any
of the House schedules may ..appear
and offer : their arguments. 1
Among those who have faithfully
attended at these , hearings 1' Con
gressman Donovan who for a first
term man appears to have indelibly
stamped upon his colleagues the. fact
that he is a live wire and knows -how
to look after the interest of his. con
stituents. ...
Congressman Donovan made several
appearances before the commtitee. He
presented his reasons why the Increas
ed duty should be. placed on the fur
hats and also why ferromanganese
should go on the free Itet. The-Crane
Valce Co., which has large plants
in Bridgeport and other cities in
America was particularly anxious that
ferro manganese. should go on the free
list but. they were opposed by the
powerful steel-trust which was work
ing with might and main to keep this
alloy so essential to Independent man
ufacturers like Crane Valve Company
off the free list.
Congressman Donovan ; was appeal
ed to by the Crane Valve Company to
use - his influence to have the alloy
put on the free list . and he went to
work on the matter In his usual thor
ough manner. His unremitting la
bors were today rewarded with suc
cess for the committee -voted -unanimously
to Include the alloy on th
list of "free, raw materials." ..

Contemplated In

Hirschberg
Costs City Nothing Now for
Interpreter As Work Is
Done By Responsible Of
ficer. X
Police circles are today discussing
conjectured changes to be made by
the new city court administration.
That acting Detective George Simons
is no longer to be permitted to inter
pret Polish, Slavonic, Russian or Bo
hemian is the prevailing opinion.
That these duties which have during
the past two years saved the city an
nually the estimated sum of $600 will
devolve on office seekers seems prob
afble from recent appearances of
strange faces in the court room and
the calling of Slgimund Hirschberg, a
Water street clothing1 merchant by
Judg Coughlin -to act in the case of
Charles Petrofsky, arrested upon the
charge of theft.
Hirschberg' who has intimated to
friends that ihe would be the Polish
speaking Interpreter in future has been
about the court room for the past two
days. - He -was there this morning but
had stepped out when his name was
called and Detective Simons was then
called upon to act.
Interpreters are required to appear
dally during the court sessions, and
for their services are given $1.50. Prior
to the incumbency of Clerk George
Barnes it had been customary to have
outside interpreters, but in an effort
to save the city money a member of
the police force was detailed to act
where possible and the fees collected
reverted to the city. These If the
plans, which are apparently to be car
ried into effect, obtain will be plums

Freed From Blame
; For Auto Killing
- Coroner John J.; Phelan exonerates
Mrs. Isabel H. Woodford of criminal
responsibility for the death of William
Stelnheauser, who .was killed 'by her
automobile in Fairfield, June 8, when
Stelnheauser, awaiting a trolley car,
became- confused at the approach of
the heavy touring- car driven by the
woman. - Mrs. Woodford is the widow
of Stewart X. Woodford, former am
bassador to Spain.
Coroner Phelan takes-occasion In the
finding to express his grave, doubt
'that woman in a- large degree are
not temperamentally fitted or physical
ly equipped for the driving of high
powered machines in populous 'places."
He says that while in this case the
driver acquitted herself with the neces
sary skill, he, in common with many,
has "a conviction that situations and
emergencies frequently - arise when
masculine rather than feminine skill
and - judgment , in the management of
machines more certainly inspires confi
dence in the people for the better pro
tection of life and limb in - public
places." '
Mrs. Woodford was -driving the car
around a sharp turn, alongside trolley
tracks. At the turn the trolley tracks
sweep across the street, and to board
an east bound car, as Steinhauser was
preparing to do, the intending pass
enger must stand in the roadway rath
er than the sidewalk, crossing a much
traveled thoroughfare.
The coroner suggests that the meth
od of taking on passengers- at this
point be changed by the Connecticut
company. He found the speed of the
automobile to be from 10 to 12 miles.
The finding follows: ' '

and even the world itself. For here j
Is a man to whom the Lord and Mas- ;

ever,' who now lies cold in death and j
clad in the sombre clothes of the
grave. His duty, as is the duty of i
every one- who is clothed with the!
garb '.and Intrusted with the holy of-;
flee of the priesthood, was to prepare
by his holy work others for the great
and awful hour of death. By ordin-f

in his soul, and especially In the facts,
cf his creation, redemption, and ever
lasting reception by God, his omnipo
