OLD RATES STAND
Railroads Will Make No Ad
vance in Near Future.
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.
REVEAL BLACK CROSS PLOT
Portuguese Anarchists Planned to
Blow Up Royal Family.
LISBON, June 8. The police have
discovered and frustrated a big plot,
hatched by the society of the Black
Cross, to blow up with bombs the mem
bers of the royal family at a religious
feast which is to be held on June 18.
Among the ringleaders arrested were
Jose Avala, Adao Duarte and -onstan-tine
Mendes, notorious anarchists. The
bombs which had been manufactured
by the society were discovered, and
correspondence seized shows that the

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:
