CONDITIONS NOT SETTLED Presidents and Operating Officials Fear Stagnation Would Be In creased by Move Better Busi ness May Remove Necessity. WASHINGTON. June 8. No general increase In freight rates is likely to be made by the railroads of the country In the near future, if it is to be made at all. At a recent meeting of presidents and operating officials of important railroads In New York, It was the consensus of opinion that It was undesirable to put into effect at this time an Increase of freight rates. It was pointed out that the proposed Increase in a time of depression would tend rather to Increase freight stagnation than to stimulate freight movement. Such a result would be of only additional dis advantage to the carriers, the opinion be ing general that it would not induce in creased revenues. Most of the officials who attended the meeting Indicated a belief that rail way business conditions were Improv ing. The freight revenues and the passenger revenues, too sfiow a nota ble increase in the last month over the preceding three months, and a general revival of business In all industrial branches was reported from every part of the country. The judgment was expressed that If business conditions did not continue to show improvement it would be neces sary for the railroads to adopt some method for protecting the interests of their stockholders. Only two methods are suggested an increase of frefcrht rates and a decrease in wages of em ployes. It is quite certain that neither will be resorted to before the first of next October, and some of the officials believe it will not be necessary even then to resort to either of the methods named. In some unaccountable way, the re port became general among shippers, especially in the Middle West and the South, that the President and the Inter state Commerce Commission had given their approval to the suggested in crease in freight rates. The members have spent a good deal of time trying to set their correspondents right on the matter. While the Commission has no power under the law to prevent the establish ment of such rates as the railroads see fit to put into effect, unless after due hearing, the Increased rates should be found to be excessive, unreasonable or unjust, it would be equally impossible and inappropriate for it to give its approval to any proposed increase in rates. BIG BOXD ISSUE IS RATIFIED Union Pacific Directors Approve the Plan to Borrow $50,000,000. NEW YORK, June 8. The board of directors of the Union Pacific Railroad Company, at a meeting today, ratified the issue of $50,000,000 first lien and refund ing mortgage 4 per cent bonds. According to a statement given out by the directors after today's meeting the new first lien and refunding mortgage 4 per cent bonds will be a first mortgage on the unencumbered mileage of the Union Pacific, consisting of 1177 miles of main track and 146 miles of other track. In the end all of these bonds will pass under the lien securing the entire Issue of first lien and refunding mortgage bonds and 100,000,000 of the new bonds will be reserved to refund the present first mort gage 4 per cent bonds, due In 1947, for a like amount, which bonds will not be extended. The board of directors today approved and resolved to ask the stockholders to authorize at the annual meeting, to be held October next, the extension of the first mortgage lien and refunding bonds over the lines pledged under the first mortgage. Until that action is taken by the stockholders, the issue of these bonds must remain limited to the present issue of $50,000,000. The bonds will be redeemable at 107' and interest on September 1, 1918, or on any interest date thereafter on not less than three months' notice. BUTTER FAMINE THREATENED Illinois Creameries Will Fight In crease in Rail Rates. CHICAGO. June 8. Sixteen of the largest manufacturers of butter in this state will open the fight against the pro posed advance of freight rates on cream and milk before the Interstate Commerce Commission next Wednesday. Tne ad vance in tariffs Is from 66 2-3 to 125 per cent. A butter famine is promised should the fight fall. Commissioners Prouty and Harlan will hear the testi mony 'and argument. The railroads will contest the claims of the butter makers, declaring the schedule to be fair. Should the buttermakers fall in their recourse to , the Interstate Commerce Commission to prevent the establishment of new tariff they say they see no al ternative other than to stop business.

ND PARDON FDR BILLEK MURDEROUS FORTUNE-TEO,ER TO HANG FRIDAY. Board is eminently just. Blllek is a cold blooded murderer if there ever was one." Deneen Refuses Clemency to Man Who Killed Whole Family In Chicago. SPRING FIELD, 111., June 8.-Governor Deneen today, on recommendation of the State Board of Pardons, decided not to interfere in the case of Herman Billek, under death sentence in Chicago for mur der. The execution is scheduled to take place next Friday. Billek Is a Bohemian forjtune-teller, whose conviction was declared from the pulpit of St. Mary's Church by Rev. P. J. O'Callaghan, of the Paulist Fathers, of Chicago, to be the result of perjured tes timony due to suggestion and intimi dation on the part of the prosecuting at torney and police. The accusation against Billek was that through the agency of a Mrs. Vzral, who afterwards committed suicide, he murdered. In Chicago, the woman's husband and four of the Vzral children. The alleged motive was to get life insurance money. BILLEK WEEPS OVER NEWS Says Principal Sorrow Is for Wife and Children. CHICAGO, June 8. When the news of the decision of the Pardons Board and Governor Deneen was taken to Billek he collapsed and cried bitterly. "Well, If they are going to hang me, let them go ahead," he said, drying his eyes. "I am ready. I don't care so much for myself, but I do care for the sake of my wife and children' All efforts on the part of Judge Davis to calm the prisoner met with slight re sult, and Billek, after being taken back to his cell, threw himself on his cot and wept bitterly. . Assistant State's Attorney Fopham, who prosecuted Billek. declared: "The decision of the Governor and the NEW CONSUL AT PORTLAND Mathews Recognized to Represent Queen of Netherlands.
