President of Baltimore & Ohio Says
Rates Too Lew to Permit Lines
From Making Profit.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24. The in
teralnte commerce commission began
hearings hero today to determine-
whether forty-nine railroads east of
the Mississippi nud south of tho Ohio
nnd t'otomnc rivers shall ha permit
ted to advance their, rates on nn av
erage 0 per cent. m Louis D. Ilmn
dcis of Boston is acting as tho com
mission's attorney.
President Daniel Willnrd of tho
Baltimore & Ohio railroad testificn
that the ndvnnces in rates wero ca
sentinl to enable the road to make a
reasonnblo profit. His testimony,
with that of President Delano of tho
Wabash rood, was expected to con
sume two days. It was expected the
commission would ndo against tho
increase.
President Willanl was tho spokes
man for the forty-nine eastern roads.
He pleaded advanced costs as tho
reason for asking for increased
rates. Ho declared that arbitration
nml mediation had boosted the sal
aries of employes nnd that snfety
nnd labor laws had inernsed ex
penses enormously.
Willnrd declnred that tho roads
affected earned $1G.:U1.000 loss for"
the year ended June 30 Inst than for
the year ended June 30, 1010. As a
result of diminishing returns Willard
snid the normal developments of tho
railroads' facilities wns checked. '
Delano, who spoke for the linm
enst of the Mississippi and west nt
Pittsburg nnd Buffalo, declared thnt
the prosperity nnd development of
tho entire territory would bo jeopar
dized if tho commission did not grnnt
the road's permission to make tho
increases in their mtes.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. Henry
Lane Wilson, former ambassador to
Mexico, last night in an address hero
likened tho diplomacy of tho Wilson '
administration to a Mother Hubbard
which covers everything and touches
nothing.
"We nro now committed to a por
icv in the Mexican situation," said
Wilson, "which will lead to humili
ation or require us lo plnv school
master to every unruly republic be

Horn."
Wilson told df tho efforts of tho
diplomatic coqis nt Moxico City to
save tho city from tho terrible
bloodshed of tho ten davs of bom
bardment just prior to the killing of
Mitdero.
"Tlio diplomats of tho Mexican
army bore petitions to Mndorn to

"When tho nnnv added its peti
