Major Caldwell Suras l"p Situation and Draws Conclusions as to Deficiency. SEATTLE. Wash., Sept. 26. (Spe cial.) Seattle's municipal street rail way Is losing money under the in creased fare; reports from the city controller and department of public utilities indicate. Mayor Hugh M. Caldwell said Saturday. The reports cover a full month of operation under the new schedule of fares which be came effective July 19. Mayor Caldwell, summed up what he believes to be the cause or the reported losses as follows: DeDreciation item OI st6,uoo a month, or J672.000 a year, too high. This would provide enough money to replace the system in 18 years. Placing too high valuation on me street railway system, which he says is worth not more than JlZ.000,000. The city paid $15,000,000 for the prop osition. Wages of railway employes have been raised a little more than 11 per cent in the last year. It is costing the city luu,ooo a year to give railway employes an an nual vacation of two weeKs, on pay. Thi3 item in August was 16,000. No other city In the country gives its street railway trainmen vacations on pay. Reports on the first month or op eration under the new fare now are being checked over, the mayor said, and cannot be made public before next week. The new. schedule of fares provides for a 10-cent cash fare, and 6 Vi -token fare, compared with thj old rate of 5 cents. worked out at all times had not wea ther conditions interfered. On another occasion, during a se vere storm, Ilardenburg found his food supply exhausted, the waters of the bay had frozen over and there was no means at hand by which he could replenish his stocks. But on this occasion Hardenburg's signals of distress were aiso observed by the lighthouse keeper at Tangier island, some miles to the north. He had learned of the man's presence on the island, and he sent word to the resi dents of Tangier island, who set about an effort to relieve him from, his predicament. A sled was made of old boards and filled with warm clothing and plenty of good things to eat. It was dispatched to him. being drawn over the ice. Thus once more fate had been kind to the lone islander. Reclune Made Light Tender. After Hardenburg: had been a resi dent of the island for a few years, the lighthouse keeper at Watts light was removed and a stationary gas light to warn passing ships was installed. The light required a constant supply or gasoline and as Hardenburg was the closest resident, he was appointed by the government to keep the tanks filled, a pipe having been run from tne ligntnouse to the island. Toung Hardenburg leaves the island much improved in health. APPLE HATE IS UPHELD GROWERS LOSE INTERSTATE COM31ERCE HEARLNG.

American exporters cannot expect to dc business with Russian firms through the port of Vladivostok If they insist on money on exchange. but a fairly satisfactory commerce can be obtained if there is simply an exchange of commodities, said M. Fomoso, an Italian business man. who arrived here today on his way to the east. He has just reached this coast from Vladivostok anl he reported business conditions' there were very disturbed and American cold ruuch in demand.

It was pulled in and to bis amaze' ment and delight it was found to con tain food, having probably been set adrift in the storm from some of the nearby islands. 31 ode of Signals Arranged. When the storm subsided the light house keeper from Watts light came to the island, fearing Hardenburg might have met with mishap. Hard enburg related his experience to the lighthouse keeper, Charles Taylor. A mode of signals was arranged be tween the two men whic,h were to be used by Hardenburg when in need of assistance Dr. Julian B. Hubbell or Rock ville, Md., Declares Tribute Was Intended for Clara Barton. ROCKVILLE, Md., Sept. 26. (Spe cial.) Dr. Julian B. Hubbell of Rock ville, Md., is trying to recover through the courts some $60,000 worth of property he gave a "medium" six years ago when she represented, he said, that she had instructions to him from Clara Barton, founder of the American Red Cross, to turn over the wealth. Dr. Hubbell. oae-tim chief of the Red Cross medical staff, was an infl ate friend jliMi private secretary of Miss Barton, and both believed in spir- tualism. She died in 1912. He had planned to erect a memorial to her. In a suit he has filed with the cir cuit court here, Dr. Hubbell alleges hat In 1914 Mrs. Maybelle Rawson Hlrons. friend of Miss Barton, came to him and obtained real estate at Glen Echo, valued at 150,000 and cash. bonds, furniture, etc., worth more than 110.000 by simulating a trance and informing him she had a message from il'ss Barton. Property Given Throngch Knitn. Mrs. Hirons, it is claimed, knew both were believers in spiritualism, and also that Dr. Hubbell desired to erect a memorial to Miss Barton. Dr. Hubbell's faith In the truthful ness of the "message" caused him to urn over the property May 14, 1914, ie says. He never doubted until he heard her tell a neighbor that she had given up all thought of a memorial to Clara Barton, "and that she was not worthy of it." It was then that he set about to bring the suit for the recovery of the property. He was so shocked that for a long time he was unable to prepare the data. Judge Edward C. Peter has signed an order temporarily restraining Mrs. Hirons from disposing in any way of any of the property mentioned in the proceedings. Bill Goes Into Detail. The bill which goes into detail sets forth that Dr. Hubbell cherished a hope to change the practice of medi cine so that the physician would re gard it his duty to keep the well in health as well as to heal the-slck and that while still cherishing this hope he became the close friend of Miss Barton, serving as her secretary for 30 years and until her death in 1912. Since then his one great ambition. next to founding an Institute to change the practice of medicine, was to establish a memorial to the woman who had done so much to relieve sor row and suffering, and to join the two ideas in a great humanrtarian in stitution in memory of Miss Barton and bearing her name. It further said that early In May. 1914, Mrs. HironB visited the Hubbell home at Glen Echo and there ex pressed much interest In the memo rial project, represented that John T. Clark, son of William A. Clark, sena tor of Montana, was interested in her and wanted her to marry him, and that he owned $40,000,000 in his own right, and that he owned very valu able timber land in Arkansas. It was, he said, on the occasion of this visit that Mrs. Hirons simulated the trance. Commission Decides .Movement of 1018-1919 Crop Shows Damage 'ot as Bad as Feared. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 26 (Spe cial.) By a decision made public in Washington, D. C, today, the inter state commerce commission rules that freight rates on apples and green fruits from points in Washing ton and Oregon to 11 destinations are not unreasonable, unjustly discrimin atory or unduly prejudicial, and the complaint filed by the public service commission of Washington and Ore gon in behalf of the growers and shippers was dismissed. The complainants objected to the existing rates wherever they exceed tne rates in errect on June 24. 1918 They based their chief objection on the ground that the percentage ad vances hurt the Pacific northwestern Bnippers lar more man Lneir compel! tors in the eastern fields closer to the large marxets.

H. Bngham, foreman of the Jury, tonight said there was a possibility that new investigations might be started in half a dozen cities. "We have received evidence of gam bling in every major league city," he said. Mr. Brigham said the name of a St. Louis player who was a close friend of White Sox players had been brought before the jury. I The evidence of gambling in every major league city did not necessarily mean that there were dishonest play ers on every team, he said.

Mr. Munsey is the owner of both newspapers. His statement in part follows: 'When I bought James Cordon Ben nett's several newspapers in Janu ary there was wide concern lest the New Y'ork Herald might disappear from the list of American newspapers. I responded with -the statement that the name of Mr. Bennett's chief news paper would never perish by act of mine. "The Evening Sun has of necessity been restrained in the free expression of Its views because of its peculiar relation to the Sun. Obviously the two Suns could not take antagonistic positions materially. With the two Suns in the family It has been im possible to avoid complications and misunderstandings. "Because of this situation and the desirability of making them strictly independent of each other, one of these papers, the Evening Sun. will become the Sun and the other the Sun and the New York Herald will be come . the New York Herald.

Distributor Declare Ability to Sup ply All Customers If Strike Is Undertaken. SEATTLE, Wash., Sept. 26. (Spe cial.) Representatives of the milk producers and the Seattle distributors and wholesale dealers remained in disagreement today, with prospects still existing that thedairymen will carry out their threat to divert their milk to markets outside Seattle. "The distributors are confident that they will be able to get milk enough to supply all customers if a 'milk strike' comes," said Harold Moore, secretary of the Seattle Retail Milk Dealers' association today. "We stand just where we did yesterday. We believe the price increase of 50 cents a hundred pounds asked by the producers Is unreasonable and we are standing firm on our refusal to pay it. Too much milk is produced in western Washington to permit a milk strike to bo waged successfully. The conderiseries cannot use it all and the farmers. If we know them, will not long continue to throw their milk away." Asked whether he thought a com promise might be arranged, Mr. Moore said that be regarded the pros pect as small. The increase means raising the re tail price from 15 cents to 16 cents quart to the consumer. "Producers have called another meeting in Seattle on Monday. he announced. "What action will be taken by the dairies, in the face of the dealers' ultimatum, will not be decided until the Monday meeting." A'sked if there was any other pos sibility of a peace, Mr. Moore said that some of tho distributors favored laying the situation before the mayor and city council in case of a milk strike seemed inevitable In order that the public might be fully Informed regarding the causes of the dispute. .

"There has been a great awaken ing in the east where there is a great commercial ambition supplied with an ultimate amount of labor, supplied almost without expense.
