ROADS, INCREASES TO -10
CENTS WHEN IT HITS THE
CONSUMER.
Washington, Nov. 25. H. C. Bar-
stow, traffic director of the Chicago
Association of Commerce, was a
witness today before the interestati
commerce commission In connection
with the investigation of proposed
Increases in freight rates on Western
railroads.
Barstow declared that the rail
roads decided to advance the rates
on auch commodities as it chose,
that the rates on others were un
changed, and on others the tarlfM
would be reduced. He said that the
roads charged 85 per cent Increase
against class rates, and only 16 per
cent against commodities. Class
rates directly affect the retailer and
consumer.
Bartow, asserted that the pro
posed Increase In freight tariffs on
shoes amounts . to three mills per
pair. As a result the manufacturer
Increased the price 15 cents per pair
and the retailer charged the consum
er 40 cents more. He addod that
the public not only must pay the In
creased rates, but that every on.i
handling the goods would add to the
Increase.
GENERAL HELL HAYS
REVOLUTION PICKED GREEN
Leavenworth, Kan., Nov. 25. Gen
eral J. Franklin Bell, former chief of
stafT of the United States army, who
leaves for San Francisco December 1
to assume command of the army In
the Philippines, said today that the
revolution In Mexico was not nearly
so serious as was generally believed.
In General Bell's opinion, the real
revolution In Mexico will not come
until President Dial dies.
"The present revolution Is not seri
ous enough to cause the United States
any worry, said the general. "The
United States will not need to do, any
thing but preserve neutrality. It
may need troops to expel bodies of
men seeking refuge on the American
side of the border, but that la all It
will amount to. I do not anticipate
any serious trouble."
Turkey that has been going up
for some time, went'down yesterday.
