OFFICIALS MUM ON
INCREASE IN RATE
umors Are to Effect That West
ern Roads Are Not Satisfied
With Increases That Are Made.
$ San Francisco, July -31. (U. P.X'
. "Officials of Pacific coast railroads
tonight- 'were inclined to withhold
.Comment .. on the rate . increases
'granted by the interstate commerce
.commission ' pending more detailed
' .Information.
r At' the same time,-conferences -were
known . to ihave been held during the
afternoon : jat which the award was
siren, careful study.
At the office of President William
(Sproul of the Southern Pacifies-it was
declared that no statement would be
tmade probably until Honday as further
.reports from New-Tork representatives
'of the company would be necessary to
i determine the complete situation. . .
j. There were . whisperings that the
western roads . might not ' be entirely
Satisfied with the j increases 'granted,
but none of these rumors could be
traced to any reliable source, and the
toore conservative opinion .was that
even i the railroad officials themselves
.were: not yet certain Just what, the"
.effect of the increase would be In the
tweat. ! '.
Effect of the ' Interstate commerce
J com mission's - award on action ' to - be
taken by the California state railroad
commission was one of the centers of
Interest tonight. '
-On. Monday morning a hearing Will
begin before the state railway commis
sion on applications " for rate Increases
by all common carriers, steam and elec
tric railroads and steamship lines
operating within the state,
i These carriers all are asking that
their rates be harmonized with interstate
rates and they have specifically re
frained, in most instances, from setting
a definite figure - for the increase they
ask. ' .' ,
EXECUTIVES IN1 ST. PAUL
F PLEASED OVER RAIL RISES
t St. Paul. Minn., July 81. TJ. P.)
Railroad executives here tonight de
clared rate increases announced ty the
Interstate commerce commission "en
pouraglng,M and believed everyone war
ranted in taking a very hopeful view of
khe railroad situation.
-J Ralph Buddy president of the Gceat
X4ort,hen, said .tariff revision probably
would take about 15 days and that new
rates probably will ' be made effective
about the middle of August; The prln-
ctpal delay will b in -printing; e-"sahE
''"It la difficult . Jo tell off-hand- just
"ow jpthe decision ;'will affect the so
called transcontinental Mnes." said Budd.
!The application-to the commission was
Jiade; ih three districts the . Western,
Southern and . Eastern. - The j commls-
'7 slon has designated a fourth district
i the mountain-Pacific district. -.and. it is
difficult to tell Just how .the Increases,
'warying -as they do in the new district
arad -the Western district, will affect
, our lines,
"The supplication? was made with the
tfdea in View that the increase would
'enable the roads to realize a- return of
- 'between Vx and.. per cent " on their
lvalue and enable-the road? to 'reestab
lish" their-Seredlt. This is the thing that
must be done. We ar all working in
j the spirit of giving the transportation
"act a fair trial, and it is very encour-
waging to the roads "to see the commis
sion working so hard to equitably do
'the things that are required of it under
rthe law." " :
f .. Charles Donnelly, executiVe vice-nresi-dent
of the Northern Pacific, . said the
'roads, had asked a general j increase of
f35 per cent in the Western "district,-and
'idsald it would take a few days to deter
mine Just what the effect' of the in-
-creases, announced! will be. He said he
thought everyone - was "warranted in
i takg a hopeful view.

New York. July Sl (L, N. S.) New
Tork, which has been called "the wettest
city in dry United States," t is threat
ened with the loss of this questionable
fame by another burst of activity by
federal agents. t
The latest raids In which, wet stocks to
the value of 171,000 were seized, has
been followed- by "the tip along Broad
way, big drouth coming J" -
One hundred federal agents under
James Shevlin, supervising" prohibition
enforcement agent, are seeking evidence.
The nearby cities of Newark, N. J'and
Jersey City are being combed also. John
J. Quigley' of ;the t prohibitloy enforce
ment office denies hat it is ftsy to get
a drink in New Tork. . . .
"It is getting harder every day, said
Qulgleyl "A stranger cannot go lntof a
New York saloon and get a drink. . It Is
true that a person well' known to . the-
bartender might get a drink, but ea
loonists are getting more and more cau
tious every day." ' , -
