I. C. C. Renders Far-Reach
ing Decision on Railroads
Which Operate Boats
on the Great Lakes
Washington, May 15.-—In one of (he
most far-reaching decisions of recent
years, the interstate commerce com
mission today that ruled that the rail
roads owning and operating steamship
lines on the great lakes must give
them up after December 1.
The principal eastern trunk lines
which carry the great volume of
freight traffic between the Atlantic
Seaboard and the west are affected and
the decision may alter partially trade
routes over which are moved millions
of tons of the west's rich stores of
raw materials to the east and millions
of tons of manufactured products to
the west and northwest.
In effect the decision establishes a
water route, independent of railway
control, from New York points on Lake
Superior and l*ake Michigan.
The commission points out that the
Great Lakes, for many years domi
nated by the railroad-owned fleets,
again will be open to independent
shipping and that the Erie canal again
has the opportunity of becoming a
main artery of traffic.
Under the Panama canal law' rail
road ownership of competing water
lines is forbidden unless the interstate
commerce commission holds that pub
lic convenience and necessity are
served thereby.
Finds to Contrary
The commission finds to the con
trary that:
“The interests of the shipping public
will be conserved and those of the boat
lines will be bettered • * * by tile
divorcement.”
Under the law. the Pennsylvania, North
ern Central, Lehigh Valley. New York
Central. Rutland. Erie, Grand Trunk and
Lackawanna railroads petitioned the com
mission to retain their fleets which are
operated by separately incorporated
transit companies.
The land lines of the railroads skirting
the shores of the lakes serve competing
territory and freight rates called “lake
and rail” rates are fixed for the combina
tion rail and water Journey. This, the
commission held, has stifled competition
and that the boat lines first used as a
“sword" by the railroads t<> drive inde
pendent shippers off the lakes, are now
held as a “shield” against possible com
petition of new independents.
No Competition
“Since it appears from the records that
the railroads are able to operate their
boat lines at a loss where there is now'
r.o competition from independent lines,"
says the commission, "it is manifest that
they could and would operate at a further
loss in a rate war against independents
The large financial resources of the own
ing railroads make it impossible for an
independent to engaged in a rate war with
a boat line so financed.
“The right to use the waterways of the
country as a moans of transportation is a
natural right, but this right may not be
abused to the injury of others, and it is
the public right that the water* be so
used as to return benefit to the people.”

DERHBURGTO LEAVE
THE UNITED STATES;
■ C
Critical Turn of Events <
Causes Kaiser’s Spokes- (
man to Get Out ,
A
- t
Washington, May 15.—Dr. Bernard ;
Dernburg, former German, colonial sec- (
retary and known as unofficial spokes
man in this country {or the German
cause, has \^)luntarlly decided to leav~ [
the United States in view of the critical
turn in the relations between this coun
try and Germany.
This became known early today in of
ficial quarters and was later confirmed ,!
at the German embassy. President Wil
son and Secretary Bryan had been ap
prised informally through f’ount Von ]
Bernstorff, the German ambasador, of j
Dr. Dernburg's decision before the news j
was generally known in official quar- ]
tern. I
The action of Dr. Dernburg relieved [
the President of an embarrassing sit- ;
uation. for it is known that he strongly ;
disapproved of Dr. Dernburg’s utter- |
ance justifying the sinking of the Lust- ;
tania and officials considered examin
ing the statutes of the United States to
determine what legal method might be
invoked to end Dr. Dernburg's activity.
It was thought best, however, first to
intimate to Count Von Bernstorff the
feeling of the Washington government
in the matter and ask him to request Dr.
Dernburg to leave. This was made un
necessary by the decision of the for
mer German official to leave of his
own Initiative.
No Official Status
Although Dr. Dernburs had no offi
cial *tatu«, the United States grovern
ment considered that while relatione
were strained between this country and
Germany, his speeches and Utterances
might influence some Germans in Amer
ica in such a way as might conceivably
affect the domestic welfare of the Amer
ican people. The fact that Dr. Dern
burg was once German colonial secre
tary and began his actlcity with the
outbreak of the war, making speeches
vnd issuing sfatements on various
phases of the war on behalf of Germany,
led officials here to beileve that many
Germans in the United States attached
official weight to his uttteranc.es.
The President and Ills advisers have
observed with growing concern Dr.
Dernburg's activity and when he spoke
in Cleveland and New York justifying
the sinking of the Lusitania, It was de
cided that his activities must come to
an end. #
Seeks Safe Conduct
It was stated at the German embassy
that an effort would be made to obtain
safe conduct at the state department
for Dr. Dernburg so that he would be
immune from detention at sea by the
[British or French. It is believed he
will sail on an American ship for Hol
land on his way to Germany and of
ficials do not believe any negotations
with the British or French governments
will be necessary as the United States
hns held during the present war as well
as in the past that persons even of bel
ligerent nationality cannot be removed
from neutral ships.
i GADSDEN
Gadsden. May 16.—(Special.)—The A. ft
J. Stove Works will resume operations
Monday. This plant has been closed since
last fall, due to business depression. The
employes will go to work on half-time
Monday, but it is thought that order*
soon will become more brisk. With the
A. ft j. plant In operation, every In
dustry In Gadsden is running with the
exception of the North Gadsden furnaces
of the Alabama frompany.
A prosperity dinner will be given Mon
day night at the Printup hotel by the
directors of the Chamber of Commerce to
the members. One hundred and twenty
five Invitations have been mailed. Several
short addresses will he made during the
evening.
A contract for the construction of the
1 new cotton warehouse and compress at
Attalla was awarded today by J. H. Ar
( nold & Co. Contract for the concrete
' work and concrete piers was awarded to
C. O. Duncan, while the contract for the
brick work was given to W. T. Christo
pher. The contract amounts to about
$7000.
W. P. Lay. returning from the river
demonstrations at Sheffield and at Lock 17
L on the Warrior, believes it will be diffi
, cult lo secure appropriations for the
Coosa until the federal government
[ adopts a new policy. Captain Lay said
that there have been reports that the
government would abandon plans to im
prove the Coosa, and that this might be
[ beneficial, as some way then might be
found for private capital to do the work.

A letter has just been received from
Ross Stucky, a Gadsden boy, who made

Search for Negro
Sylacauga. May 15.—(Special.)—A sher
iff's posse today Is scouring the countr>
for Odin Oden, a negro, charged with
assault upon J, M. Horton, overseer of a
road camp near Fayetteville. Mr. Hortor
was seriously wounded, being struck from
behind with a club. No trace of the ne
t/o has been fojftf.
A
he was known as an independent scou*
and assisted union sympathizers in
Walker, Winston. Lawrence and Fayette
counties in getting through the Confed
erate lines to the union a/my. He guided
many people, mostly men, safely to the
union army, including his own family.
It Is true that he killed a man who was
waylaying him to get his scalp. (A re
ward had been offered for his scalp). It
is also true that he was captured and held
a prisoner in the old State Bank build
ing and was condemned to be shot at
sunrise. During the night a union pris
oner tore- up government blankets, made
i rope and let him down to the ground
from a window of the old State Bank
building. Before leaving, he wrote with
k piece of charcoal the sentence you have
•juoted. except it was "Black Fox” in
stead of "Red Fox."
My mother. Mrs. Mary Wilburn, wil*
rouch f.»r the foregoing statement.
Kindly publish this letter in your Sun

grandfather's name—he was not a bush
whacker. Yours truly.

was di owned In the Cahaba river, near
Loviek, yesterday morning at 10:3\o clock.

young Taylor was invited to go. After
being in the river for sometime the boy
decided to swim to a point midway the
river. When he was in midstream ho
was suddenly seized with a severe cramp
and cried to the other boys for help.
