"cw Churges Estimated to Yield
$1,300,000,000 for Freight,
9283,000,000 for Passenger.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2. CBy The
Associated Press.) New passenger
fares probably will become effective
August 20, and advanced freight rates
August 25, according to a programme
outlined tonight by A. P. Thorn, gen
eral counsel for the association of
railway executives.
Simultaneously increases in Pull
man, excess baggage and milk charges
also will go In force.
Railroad rate experts have begun
preparing blanket rate schedules in
creasing transportation costs on a
percentage basis. These will be pre
sented to the interstate commerce
commission five days before the pro
posed effective dates. Rate sheets
will be supplemented by printed
tariffs containing rates for all ter
ritories and on all commodities as
soon as the many details can be
worked out. Until this is done, local
rail officials will compute the new
rates and charges for their territories
by adding 20 per cent to existing
rates.
While this method would be un
usual, rail officials pointed to the
suggestion of the commission that the
higher charges be put in force "as
early as practicable."
Treasury Drain to End.
fly putting the increased rates into
effect prior to September 1 the drain
on the treasury under the guarantee
provisions of the transportation act
likely will be ended before expira
tion of the government's guarantee of
earnings. Officials estimated today
that by September 1 the guarantee
previsions would .have cost the gov
ernment approximately J650.000.000.
The government has been obliged
to continue the $75,000,000 monthly
rental payment in effect during fed
eral control and meet deficits, not
covered by the rental amount, sus
tained by individual carriers. In
cluded In these deficits is that por
tion of the $600,000,000 wage award
from May 1 to September 1. when
the guaranty expires.
This was officially estimated at
$206,000,000. Thus the people will pay
one-third of the increased wages for
railroad employes in taxes.
With the amount guaranteed the
carriers this year and the claims of
the lines for compensation under
their contracts with the railroad ad
ministration, the roads will have
cost the government approximately a
billion and a half dollans since De
cember 28. 1917.
Billion In Mew Yield.
Operation of the roads after Sep
tember 1 under the new rates will
yield, according to the experts, an
annual return or aoouc l,ssu,ouo,ooo. i
They believed the increased freight
revenues would total $1,300,000,000.
and the income from passenger traf
fic $283,000,000. Their estimates, it
was explained, were based on the
assumption that intrastate rates
would be increased correspondingly.
Need for increases in intrastate
rates was set forth in a report for
warded toda" to state railway and
public utility commissions by the
three state commissioners who sat
with the interstate commerce com
mission during the bearing and con
sideration of the rate case.
While tariff experts are working
on the general rate schedule, .the
carriers will make application to the
various state commissions for ad
vances in intrastate rates to corre
spond to those In interstate rates
20 per cent on passenger, milk and
excess baggage charges, and 50 per
cent on rates for sleeping and parlor
car space.
Coastwise and inland steamship
companies and electric railway lines
are permitted under the interstate
commerce commission's decision to
raise only freight rates. Nothing
was said by the commission as to
passenger rates on the steamboat
lines, but the decision did say spe
cifically that the freight rate in
crease granted electric railway lines
was "not to be construed as an ex
pression of disapproval of increases,
made or proposed in the regular man
ner, in the passenger fares of elec
tric lines."
Commissioner Kile Heort.
We participated in the conferences
1n the same manner as members of
the commission," the state commis
sioners' report declares, "being in

Death; Excited Husband Leaps
, From Embankment.
CORVALLIS. Or., Aug. 2. (Special.)
Two children and two women, one
of whom tonight was near death,
were injured last night when an au
tomobile driven by J. C. Carson,
backed over two embankments south
of Yachata and landed upside down
on the beach below. One of Carson's
daughters, aged 3, sustained a . cut
that nearly tore her ear away, the
other, aged 5, sustained a fractured
skull; Mrs. Carson, who is about to
become a mother again, was injured
internally so seriously that tonight
it was thought that she could not
recover, and Mrs. Carson's mother
sustained a crushed ankle.
Mrs. Kocher, a sister of Mr. Carson.
and her baby escaped injury when.
Mrs. Kocher, carrying the child, leaped
from the car as it started its back
ward race.
At the time of the accident the car
was ascending the grade on the
Florence-Yachats road. The engine
was "killed," when Mr. Carson tried
to shift gears at a point where the
road runs about 100 feet above the
beach and on the point of a bluff.
As Carson left the car to crank the
engine, the machine started backing
down the hill.
Carson made a run for the steering
wheel and managed to keep the car
in the road for about 50 feet, when it
turned off down a steep bank some
40 feet high. Reaching the bottom,
still upright, the car proceeded up a
short Incline and hurled over a pre
cipitous cliff onto the beach 30 or
40 feet below.
Mr. Carson, without realizing what
he was doing, leaped to the beach.
He escaped injury, but found the
rest of the party unconscious on the
beach. -
Dr. Leonard of Portland happened
to be near and gave assistance.
Mrs. Kocher had hurried to a
nearby house and telephoned Dr. Lin
ton of Waldport. This was the sec
ond car to plunge from the bluff near
Yachats last week. Mr. Carson oper
ates a sawmill near Yachats.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 2. Lieutenant
Omar Locklear, noted "stunt" avi
ator, and Lieutenant Milton Elliott,
his aide, were killed tonight when
their plane crashed from a distance
of 1000 feet.

quet "Daredevil" because of his many
thrilling stunts in the air, was en
gaged with Lieutenant Elliott in per
forming a feat for a moving picture
concern. The accident occurred
the midst of huge oil tanks in the
La Brea oil field near here.
When 1000 feet high he was given
a signal by the motion picture di
rector and started into a nose dive
A battery of searchlights was playing
on the machine and fireworks were
being set off from the plane by Lieu
tenant Elliott. When he had dropped
to within 200 feet of the earth Lock
lear was seen to attempt to straighten
his plane out. He was too low, how
ever, and crashed to the earth.'

ernor Smith is anathema to William
Randolph Hurst, who is not in any
too pleasant a mood toward the
democratic party anyway.
Hearst Opposes Smith.
By featuring Smith it is expected
that Tammany will draw the fire of
Hearst at once and possibly result in
the Hearst papers f'ghtlng the entire
state democratic ticket on the theory
that to help any democrat to gain of
fice is to help Tammany. For a few
days after the San Francisco conven
tion it looked like Mr. Hearst might
get back into line for the democratic
party.
The Hearst papers began to praise
Governor Cox and give their interpre
tation of Cox" views on the league of
nations covenant, which were de
clared to be much the same . as
Hearst's. Cox visited the white house
and pledged himself to the Wilson
programme and Hearst editorials
ever since have dealt only with events
in ancient history.
Another problem is whether the
convention shall give prominence to
the name of Robert Lansing, who was
deposed as secretary of state because
he called the cabinet. together during
Mr. Wilson's illness. For a few days
Charles F. Murphy, Tammany boss.
considered designating Lansing for
United States senator, but is said to

The Oklahoma contest tomorrow is

has opposed President Wilson on al
most every important measure In the
last two congresses.' He also voted
for all kinds of reservations to the
Wilson league covenant and at no
time supported the pact as submitted
by the president.

He is running for renomination on

and was formerly chairman of the
public lands committee, seeks the
nomination as a straight-out admin

ministration and all of the federal
office-holders are behind Ferris, but
Gore, a blind man, has been getting
the audiences in the primary cam
paign. The light is expected to burn in
the White House until very late to
morrow night awaiting some sort of
news from Oklahoma City, because
Mr. Wilson will take the renomina

Mildred Harris Charges
Comedian With Cruelty.
MARRIAGE SECRET 4 MONTHS
Husband Refuses to Look at
Christmas Tree.
$750,000 FILMS TIED UP
Court Restrains Disposal or Pic
lures Xow lie lug Made; Wife
Asks Share of Property.
LOS ANGELES. Cal.. Aug. 2. (Spe
cial.) The storm that has hovered
over the Charlie Chaplin household
for months past broke suddenly late
yesterday afternoon when Mrs. Mil
dred Harris Chaplin filed suit for
divorce on the grounds of extreme
mental cruelty and bodily injury.
This action had been expected for
long time. She told a friend last
March that unless her husband re
turned to her she would go to court.
Mrs. Chaplin, in the suit, also asked
that her husband be restrained from
disposing ot his interest in certain
motion picture films and that he be
required to account to the court for
sums received by him on her ac
count during their married life and
that if such sums are Insufficient to
enable her to live in her present sta
tion of life, to make such order as
the court seems equitable and just.
Restraining Order Issned.
A temporary restraining order was
issued by Presiding Judge Jackson
and made returnable before Judge
Taft on Monday.
Mrs. Chaplin's complaint, as filed
by Attorney W. I. Gilbert in 14 pages
of typewritten paper, expounded the
numerous incidents in her brief mar
ital life that she said brought sor
row and a nervous collapse upon her.
The charges, in brief, were that their
marriage on October 23. 191" was kept
secret for four months at the re
quest of .her husband, who, she said,
stated that if news of it became pub
lic it would seriously interfere with
his professional career.
Mrs. Chaplin also charged that four
weeks after the marriage she was
taken to a hospital as a result of a
nervous breakdown. News of the
marriage leaked out and. as a result
of the publications, she said, she suf
fered by her husband's course of con
duct and criticisms regarding her
film contract, which so upset her
nerves that she was again confined
to her bed.
Abase Charted to Husband.
Following the incident, her hus
band frequently stayed out until 2
and 4 o'clock in the morning, the com
plaint averred, and oftentimes all
night. On the first Christmas eve
following their marriage, she said,
she was still confined to her bed
but arose against her physician's
wishes to be with her husband, but
her illness compelled her to return
home at midnight, and he refused to
take her home. She declared it was
about 5 A. M. before he returned.
She sa'd that following this episode
she went to New York upon the ad
vice of her physician and though
without funds, her husband, who was
earning more than $100,000 a year, de
clined to send her any money in ex
cess of $250. A baby was expected In
their family, so she obtained furni
