CHICAGO, Jan. 23.t (Special.) Sub
stantial sains in trarfic on
railroads this month bear out asser
tions of general business improTeraen
throughout the country.
Compared, with the corresponding
period a year ago, the railroad reports
for the first three weeks of the cur
rent month show that the pains made
by Western lines in December not only
have been held, but are larger this
month on practically all of the import
ant transportation systems.
The latest available figure show
that car loading on lines of the Ber
lin cr ton Kailroad ha increased 17 per
cent so far this month compared with
the same time last year. The North
western reports a aain of 16.2 per cent,
the Atchison per cent and the Rock
Island .2 2 per cent. The showing on
other systems has been in similar pro
portions. ladaKtrlal Tmumkc Is Heaviest.
Analysis of the car-loading sheets of
these railroads shows the increase is
principally in industrial tonnage, which
is the class of freight that fell off
sharply during the recent depression.
The tonnage consists of lumber and for
est products, steel and iron ore, coal
and manufactured products. Merchan
dise and miscellaneous traffic are bold
ing their own, while grain, flour, meat
and meat products, and live stock show
large increases. This has beea the con
dition since the Kuropean war began.

Moreover it is an unquestionable fact

Railroads usually make up their bud
pets for the year's expenditures in Jan
uary, and. as these reckonings are
based largely on current business and
the outlook, it is logical to suppose that
railroad managers will be more liberal
in their present appropriations than
they would be if the business situation
was reversed.
There is more buying- of merchandise
. and money is srowins easier all tlio
time.
Large crops and the high prices they
are brinsing will have their effect on
the buying; of merchandise. So far as
manufactured products are concerned
the country is liquidated to the bone
and this means an important movement
of everything once the btiyiiw demand

NEW YORK, Jan. 24. SpeciaI.)
A divorce has been granted to Florence
Hazard, of New Jersey, known as the
Princess Auersperg. She is really not
a princess because her marriage to
Prince Francis Auersperg some years
ago Is regarded in the foreign courts
as morganetlc. .
She is the pretty daughter of a well
known catsup-maker of Shrewsbury,
N. J., and the man sne married is a real
Prince. lie belongs to one of the me
diatized or former petty sovereign
bouses of Kurope.
When he came to this country the
Prince was pursued by debt. He lived
in poverty and studied medicine, grad
uating finally and becoming a .doctor,
ftp never used his title, but when he
married the wealthy Miss Hazard she
made constant use of it and was known
everywhere as "Princess Anersperg.
She lived with her husband for many
years in New Tork. where he practiced
bin profession. SIt months ago she
sued for -divorce. Tht Prince is now
with the Austrian army.
increase in the price of wheat is said
to be the cause, of bringing to trial
here, tomorrow, the United States suit
against the Chicago Board of Trade,
filed seven years ago.
James A. . Patten and Adofph J.
Uchtstern, brokers and members of
the "Call Committee" of the board at
the time the suit was filed, will be
the first witnesses.
The snit was started under the Sher
man anti-trust law. It sought the
abolition :f the call committee, which,
according to the government allega
tions, was composed of members of
the board. The members of the com
mittee, it is said, would meet every
afternoon when the board had ad
journed and fix the price of all grain.
The government charged that this
was an arbitrary action in vioianon
of the Sherman law, and the control
of the call committee was so effective
that it prevepted any lowering of the
price in any section of the market. At
taches of the government say the call
committee has been abolished for two
years.

The market is regarded as one of

Educational Plrtorlal Review Said to
Be Rettlete With Interesting Facta
About Oregon Glitif. ,
Five new reels, depicting bird and
animal life on the Federal game re
serves in Oregon, sequels to those ex
hibited Friday and Saturday, were
shown at the Heilig yesterday after
noon and last night. These equaled in
interest those previously run and they
were seen by appreciative audiences.
Part of the proceeds go to the benefit
fund for the family of Deputy Game
Warden Hubbard, who was slain while
on duty.
The spectator was first brought to
the state game farm near Corvailis.
where flocks of game birds arc reared
preparatory to the stocking of Eastern
Oregon counties. One of the most In
teresting scenes on the farm was that
which shows the motherly love two
bark-yard hens showered on their
adopted families of baby silver pheas
ants. Lively times in the corral were seen
at Jackson Hole. Wyo.. when hundreds
of wild elk were trapped, crated and
shipped ?nto Oregon. There were three
reels showing bird life on the Federal
reservation in the lake regions of
Southern Oregon.
Home life among the pelicans was
portraved. Here pelican life from Incu- j
bation to ripe old age was depicted.
On the banks of Clear Creek Mr.
Flnlev and the photographers almost
stumbled over a baby deer, which took
friffht and ran away. The men gave
chase and soon captured, tha fugitive.
which was brought back before, the
camera, patted and photographed and
then again liberated. Two black bear
cub were surprised while fighting and
were caught, to become future inmates
of the state game farm. A giant
mother cougar was shot and presently
three little kittens were seen stalking
along the trail, searching for their
mother. The little cougars, adopted by
a farmer's boy. are shown being fed
from a baby bottle.
A reel devoted to fishing and angling
was shown also.
More than $500 was 'realised at the
performances and all this will be sent
to Mr. Hubbard's widow. Owing to
turning away many school children
Saturday and Sunday afternoons on ac
count of filled houses there will be
other presentations of the game pic
tures in two or three weeks.

II y Separated 20 Tears Ago W hen
tilrl Was Babe.
VANCOUVER. Wash., Jan. 24. (Spe
cial.) For many years believing his
only daughter was dead, Amos Pace, a
farmer near Manor, today greeted his
long-lost daughter who had not seen
him since she was a babe 2 years old
and that was more than 20 years ago.
Now she is a woman, married, and has
been living in Ohio.
Mr. and Mrs. Amos Pace separated
when the girl was 2 years old. The
mother received the custody of the baby
and reared her. The father drifted to
other states, finally came West, and, six
years ago, settled on a farm near Manor.
The girl grew to womanhood and
married A. Miller, and they have been
living at Columbus, O. Recently she
learned her father was in the West, and
she started a search by mall for him,
finally discovering him in this county.
Overjoyed at learning his only child
was living. Mr. Pace asked her to come
at once, and, with her husband, she
hoarded the first train West. She ar
rived in Vancouver late last night, and
this morning went to the Pace farm for
a happy reunion with the father she
had never known.
He had been looking for their arrival.
and when Joseph Reiger stopped the
automobile at the gate Mr. Pace came
out. Miller said to Mr. Pace: "Well,
Mr. Pace, this is Ida, and I'm her husband."

NEW YORK, , Jan. 23. The Rocke
feller Foundation made public today
its replies to questions asked by tbe
United States Commission on Industrial
Relations as to the reasons for the es
tablishment of the 100,000.000 Founda
tion, its purposes and methods of oper
ation.
One of the purposes of the inquiry
now being conducted here by the In
dustrial Commission is the investiga
tion of the Rockefeller and Sage foun
dations. John T Rockefeller Jr.. pres
ident of the Foundation, will be called)
before he commission as a witness.
The replies of the Rockefeller Foun
dation are divided into two parts, the
first of which is signed by Mr. Rocke
feller, Jr.. as president, and by Jerome
D. Greene, as secretary.
Complying with the commission's re
uest. the Foundation has supplied th
commissioners with copies of the Foun
dation's charter, constitution and by
laws. Replying to other questions, th
Foundation said that it was not a con
solidation of pre-existing organiza
tions, but a distinct creation with its
own funds.
The total funds of the Foundation on
December 1. 1914, are given as $103,
(30.817. Its holdings of stocks and
bonds are given in detail. Appropria
tions are made by the board of direc
tors or the executive committee. Th
amount of. its holdings is not limited
Lby its charter. No part of the princi
pal is to be distributed except oy two-
thirds vote of all memoera.
Parf Reserved by ' Rockefeller.
One condition of John D. Rockefcl
ler's gift of J100, 000,000 establishing
the Foundation was described as stlpu
lating that the sum of $2,000,000 of its
Income, or as much of that sum as he
might designate, shall be applied dur
ing his lifetime to such specific ob
jects within the corporate purposes of
the foundation as he may direct.
The officers declare that they have
no expectation of receiving any fur
ther funds, but that the Foundation is
entitled to receive gifts from any
source. The General Education Board,
they say. is an independent corpora
tion, with funds of its own; but lump
sums have been appropriated for the
use of tbe International Health Com
mission.
Tha major part of the work of the
Foundation consists, it is said, in mak
ing contributions to other philanthropic
agencies.
Investigation Kn Ramneren.
Searching questions were asked by
the commission as to the reasons for
the . appointment by the Rockefeller
Foundation of William Lyon Mackenzie
King, of Ottawa. OnL, to make a study
of industrial relations. Replying to
question whether Mr. King was au
thorized to go on with his plans, even
if his policy should be divergent from
that of the directors, the Foundation
assected that the conduct of the work
will be left in his hands', snbject mere
ly to conference with officers of the
Foundation and to' its control as to the
extent of expenditures. On this sub
ject the Foundation declared:
"It cannot be too clearly understood
that ihe purpose of this inquiry (Mr.
King's) is not to apportion blame In
present or past misunderstandings, nor
to justify any particular point of view;
the sole purpose is constructively help
ful. In a work conceived and under
taken in such a spirit any question of
divergent policies or of partiality in
the investigation can have no place.
The Foundation has felt that if It
could work out sound and substantial
improvements In the relation of capital
and labor it could hardly do anything
better calculated 'to promote the well
being of mankind for which purpose
the Foundation was created.
Scope of Inquiry Unlimited.
Asked if the work of the industrial
relations division will be limited to in
vestigation, the Foundation replied that
it has purposely avoided assigning def
lnite limits to the method and scope of
the work. It is expected, the Founda
tion says, that Mr. King will not pre
pare formal plans, out will proceed
along lines that offer the greatest
promise of practical results.
The International Health Commia
sion, a subsidiary of the Foundation,
has confined its activities almost en
tircly to. the eradication of hookworm
disease in different parts of the world,
the B'oundation says.
The Belgian relief work and the pro
motion, of medical education and public
health in China are referred to as other
instances of the work of the Founda
tlon. ' Only one application has been
made to the Foundation in the interest

help and protection.
- Where can I get it ?
I do not care so much for myself, as for my father,
- who has been threatened violently and criminally, by an
unseen and unknown enemy.
You have seen it, haven't you? You've seen how
they are playing with me.
Such methods as they have resorted to even using
the newspapers to defame me "requesting information
about Elaine Dodge."- Flaunting my name before the
entire city, and endeavoring to throw it in an unenviable
light. It's base It's unthinkable.
Yesterday, my father was warned by anonymous
persons to beware for his safety. This was sent through
the mail and they even had the audacity to say a copy
would appear in today's paper. They say they know of
my secrets of the exploits of Elaine. But, for the sake
of my good name and my father's, I beg you to believe
that since babyhood I have lived in close intimacy with
my circle of friends I am eighteen years now and I
have no past. There are no exploits of Elaine.
But I am in mortal fear. I do not know which way
to turn for assistance. I can pay for help and I can pay
liberally. Anything to rid ourselves of this oppressing
fear of possible harm.
Some of my friends have tried to reassure me by
telling me, it is all a joke. And I might even think that,
if those awful things had not happened to my father's
friends, Mr. Fletcher, Mr. Haxworth and Mr. Sherburne.
If there is any one who thinks he can help us, please
let me know.
If you will address me care of this paper, I will be
very grateful. This newspaper is authorized to publish
any letters received, the space for which I will pay.

said to augur wen for the future of
the apple industry of the Northwest
The selling agencies now joined with
the growers in the programme outlined
by the by-product committee represent
a total tonnage of 19,090 cars of apples,
The agreement created great enthu
siasm among the 200 delegates when
it was read by ex-Senator W. H.
Paulhamus, chairman of the by-products
committee, who explained it in detail.
All the distributing agencies signed It
unconditionally with the exception of
the Northwestern Fruit Exchange,
w,hich reserved the right to refer the
question to the growers' local units
whose fruit it handles.
The agreement is:
"That in case the growers of the
four Northwestern states, representing
in districts and through the affiliated
agencies 75 per cent of tt-..- total ton
nage, form a central groveulng board
for the purpose of regulating the mark
eting of their products in order to get
the best distribution and to prevent
the demoralization of prices.
'That we will, should we be so re
quested, join with the said governing
board in studying the crop and market
ing conditions with a view to helping
the growers to estimate the marketing
value of their products and will fur
nish to said governing board at the
close of each day's business, and sooner
in special cases, copies of all quota
tions, sales, reports, sales records, sales
returns. Inspector's reports, and all let
ters, telegrams and conversations that
have a direct bearing on the selling of
the fruit.
We further agree that, if requested
by the growers so to do, we will remit
to such central governing board not
to exceed one-half cent per box on all
apples and pears and one-quarter cent
per box on all of the small fruit that
we may market, when returns are re
ceived and made, this amount being
deducted as a charge in making a set
