Newspaper Page TextTRAFFIC RATES MUST INCREASE IS PREDICTION Official Says the Government Must Provide Additional Revenue at Once Carlisle, Pa., May 30.— Frank P. Fayant, assistant to the chairman of the Association of Railway Execu tives and publicity representative for the organization, appeared be fore a largely attended luncheon of the Chamber of Ocfhmerce under the presidency of Dr. Guy Carleton Dee yesterday and summarized the financial situation of the railroads under government ownership, call ing particular attention to the re lation existing betwen prospective receipts and expenses. Mr. Fayant's announcement as to the probability of an increase in railroad rates in the near future is •he first authoritative utterance on •;ihe subject. He predicted beneficial results for the railroads, after their i eturn to private ownership. Mr. Fayant said, in part: "The general advance in railroad rates made a year ago by the Direc tor General, was on the assumption of a possible total increase in wages of $350,000,000, but since the Dane wage board made its report $650,- 000,000 additional increases in wages have been granted, and it Is under stood that a further increase may be made in the near future." Must Have Cash "To provide for the greatly in creased cost of railroad labor, as •well as labor in industries supplying coal, steel and other materials to the carriers, it seems inevitable that the government must soon advance rail road rates sufficiently to provide at least from $300,000,000 to $400,000,- 000 additional revenue. "The increased cost of railroad labor since 1917 is $1,000,000,000 a year: the average annual earnings per man have risen from $l,OOO to $1,500. The increase cost of ma terials consumed In the production of transportation is more than $500,000,000 a year and the bulk of this increased cost goes to the work ers in coal mines, steel plants and the other industries producing rail road materials. It is fair to say that of the $1,500,000,000 added to the cost of producing transportation, all but a very small part in wages. Near Collapse "To meet this increased operating cost the Rovernment has thus far increased railroad revenues. throußh advances in rates, by about $1,000,- 000,000; so that there is left $500.- 000,000 of increased costs that have not been provided for. For the time being-, the deficit is being met out of the public treasury. Obviously this cannot long continue. The railroads to-day, on the present dislocated basis of costs and rates, are, taking them as a whole, barely earning the interest on their bonds and prac tically nothing for their owners. "When the government took con trol of the railroads for war pur poses it was provided, on the recom mendation of the President, that there should be paid for their use about $900,000,000 a year, or a lit tle more than five per cent, on the value of the properties. In the first year of government control the net operating income fell to fibout four per cent, and this year, without an increase in rates, it is likely to be less than three per cent." Jess Willard Selects Site For Training at Maumee Ba V Toledo, May 29. Selction of a former clubhouse on the shore of Maume Bay, less than a mile from Jack Dempsey's training quarters, was made to-day, as the training camp for Jess Willard, who is due here Saturday to finish conditioning for his heavyweight championship contest with Dempsey July 4. The clubhouse is an ideal location, hut it lacks living quarters, so Wil lard and his retinue will have to selct a cottage on the bay shore in which to eat and sleep. It was suggested to 4Tex Richard, promoter of the contest, that with the camps so close together, the heavyweight rivals might meet on the road some morning and start trouble. Rickard laughted at the idea, and said he hoped they would meet. "The old days of pugilism have passed," Rickard said. "This is a boxing contest for supremacy of the heavyweight class, and purely a busi ness proposition, the same as base ball games or other amusements. Willard and Dempsey will be pp.id performers. They arc not mad at one another, and I hope that if they meet while doing road work, they will stop and shake hands. Men in other branches of athletics are friends—why can't Dempsey and Willard be friends while they are conditioning themselves?" Dempsey is using his sparring partners so roughly that Manager Jack Kearns is having difficulty in retaining them. One-round Davis, a 200-pounder from Buffalo, N. Y„ quit the challenger's camp to-day after receiving another walloping. Tie wa snearly knocked out for the second time in two days. Manager Kearns communicated with Billy Mlske, the St. Paul light heavyweight, in an effort to bring him into camp to work with Demp sey. Kearns announced that begin ning to-morrow, Dempsey would do his boxing in the afternoon, although the wather continues blistering hot. Ray O. Archer, business manager for Willard, brought the surprising information that Willard had been in training since February 1. Monster Cloud of Gas on Eastern Edge of Sun Chicago, May 30.—Announcement of an unusual celestial phenomenon, an enormous cloud of gas gathering on the eastern edge of the sun, was made from the Yerkes Observatory of the University of Chicago yester day. It was announced in connection with the total eclipse of the sun at 8 a. m. yesterday. Central time, which was visible In Brazil and equa torial Africa. The gas cloud, said Prof. E. B. Frost, of Yerkes Obser vatory, must have caused a brilliant speotoclo where the total eclipse Visible. cloud was first observed two days ago. It has grown to one of the largest of Its kind ever observed at Yerkes, where it is said to bo now entirely detached from the sun and lo extend for about 340,000 miles In an arc along the sun's edge, prob ably 125,000 miles away from the edge. The distance from the sun to the top of the cloud Is estimated at 200,000 miles. A sun spot is becoming visible beneath the cloud on the sun's edge. FRIDAY EVENING, ttARHISBXXRG OfS&fltf. TELEGKXPO MAY 30, 1919. Tech Athletes All Fit For the Big Meet at Island Tomorrow V. Grant Forrer, assistant sup erintendent of parks and secre tary of the Harrisburg Track Athletic Committe, annonuced to day that everything promises a huge crowd at the Island to-mor row afternoon when the inter scholastic track and field meet scheduled for last week, will take 1 plae.

The array Of visitors is to in clude Williamsport, Reading, Stelton, for sure, and Carlisle, Lansford and Lewistown fairly certain to show up. Tickets ie cured for the meet last Saturday, May 24, will be good to-morrow. Rent Riots Likely, Says Labor Man Washington, May 30.—1f the Phil adelphia Tenants' Protective Asso ciation, headed by M. H. Blez, ob tains 100,000 members to carry out its avowed purpose of holding the real estate men in check, there is se rious trouble ahead for Philadelphia and even grave danger of rent riots. This, at least, is the view of Ethelbert Stewart, director of in vestigation and inspection service of the Federal Department of Laboi, who announced yesterday that his service had completed an investiga tion of the complaints of the tenants' association that the landlords and real estate speculators of Philadel phia were' using the Labor Depart ment "own-your-liome" campaign to coerce tenants into buying houses at exorbitant prices. Oldest Dentist Dies of Grief at Age of 87 Pottsville, Pa., May 30. —Dr. Peter C. Detweiler, of Schuylkill Haven, said to be the oldest dentist in the State, died of grief yesterday. He was born in Kutztown in 1833. Dr. Detweiler was a Mason and was prominent in public affairs. The death of his son, Mark, an athlete, during the influenza epidemic, fol lowed by the death of his wife only a short time ago, caused excessive grief which greatly hastened death. TO KEEP WOMEN YEOMEN Washington. May 30.—Secretary Daniels likes the work of the 8,000 yeomen of the Navy so well that he Is preparing to recommend that a suffi cient number to carry on the clerical work of the Navy Department be re tained for a year.

"I hardly know whether I should expect con gratulations or sympathy," was the statement made to-day by George H. Billet when informed that the stork had visited his home and left male triplets. "It certainly is coming pretty strong to have such a sudden Increase in the family when the cost of living is so high," declared the father. The mother of the three babies Is 25 years old and weighs 95 pounds. DIAMONDS DIPPED IN GOAT'S limOD DURST New York. —ln an article on the diamonds of the Kimberly Mines, Dr. J. R. Sutton discusses the origin of the numerous broken fragments of diamond found in that region. One hypothesis current, says the Scientific American, on the subject is that these fragments owe their condi tion to violent eruptive outbursts which shattered the rocks in which they occur. Another common belief is that certain classes of diamonds frequently break spontaneously. One authority states that light brown, smoky diamonds often crack on expos ure to the dry air, but they will remain intact if kept In a moist place. In accordance with this notion there is a popular story of South Africa diamonds being sent to England inside potatoes. Crookes, in his Kimberly lecture, seems to attribute the fractures to the sudden lowering of pressure in the space surrounding diamonds, and speaks of consequent explosion. Doctor Sut ton says he has met plenty of people who have heard of the bursting of smoky diamonds, but none who ever witnessed this phenomenon with their own eyes. This idea of the bursting of diamonds is of high antiquity. Albertus Magnus says that a diamond immersed in the fresh-warm blood of a goat will burst especially if the animal had previously browsed on parsley or drunk wine. Pliny vouchsafes a similar notion. Doctor Sutton believes that in a ma jority of cases the breaking of diamonds has been due to the energy exerted by the mineral inclusions which they so often contain. These are most frequent ly garnet, but sometimes zircon, lime nite. iron pyrites and possibly chrysolite. The thermlal expansion of nearly all crystals, except those of the beryl fam ily, at ordinary temperatures, is much greater than that of the diamond. If the same is true under plutonic con ditions of heat and temperature, differ ences in the rate of expansion and con traction of the diamond and its inclusion could account for the shattering. COSTLY ECONOMY John D. Ryan, copper king and air expert, said at a luncheon: "Look out for the manager who is always talking about retrench ment. He's apt to resemble Blink. " 'Mr. Blink,' said a clerk, 'I wish you'd get in some blotting paper, sir.' "'Humph!' Blink grunted. 'Blot ting paper's gone up. The staff will do without blotting paper hereafter, and wait for the ink to dry'."—Gal veston Tribune. "Just Didn't Think," Says Bride of Two Cleveland, Ohio, May 30.—Mrs. Minnie Heitch, alleged soldier-love profiteer, who is charged with hav ing collected the government allow ance as the dependent wife of both William Heitch and Ralph Cottrell. told the presiding municipal court judge here when arraigned on a warrant for bigamy that she "just didn't think." She said shi married Cottrell un der the erroneous impression that Heitch, her true husband, had ob tained a divorce prior to her mar riage to Cottrell. The first marriage was in 1915. The wedding in which Cottrell was a principal was short ly before he entered the service. She will face the grand jury. ALBATROSS ARE CAUGHT WITH HOOK AND LINE Boston —Curious though it may seem, it is a fact that birds are caught with rod and line in many parts of the world. The pastime is declared to be almost as fascinating as fishing. Gulls In Newfoundland are caught in this way in large quantities. In New England fishing for gulls and petrels is an import ant industry. The method of bird fishing is practically the same as that of or dinary fishing. Two men go out in a dory and throw pieces of cod liver on the water. When large quanti ties of birds have been attracted to the spot, more cod liver Is thrown out on a hook. This the birds greedily swallow and thus fall easy victims. Albatross are fished for in the same way off the Cape of Good Hope. A piece of pork Is attached to a long line and thrown overboard. The bird will eye it for a long time, eraduallv and cautiously making it. Suddenly he will seize it and hold it in his beak. When he dis covers that he Is rnught. he will sit on the water and vigorously flap his wings. However, he will be drawn Into the boat and made a cantiva. Albatross fishing is good sport, since the hird requires eareftil baud ling. So long as be nulls against the line it is easy enough. Th moment however, be swims forward the book will dron from bis beak unless • ♦ skillfull" manipulated, and the bird will find himself free. SATISFACTORY SERMON Bishop Patridge. is a collector of anecdotal mood. He said the other day: "I once asked a minister how he got through a certain service. He answered grimly: " 'Well, bishop, the service was soothing, moving and satisfactory. " 'Yes, exactly," said he. 'lt was soothing because over half the con gregation went to sleep. It was mov ing because half the other half left before I was through. And it must have been satisfactory, inasmuch as I wasn't asked to come again.' " ,os Angeles Times. General Strike in Toronto Is Called by Committee Toronto, May 30. —A general strike in- sympathy with the metal workers will go into effect in this city at 10 o'clock this morning. The final call for the walkout came shortly after midnight when the cen tral strike committee of fifteen de clined the offer of the employers in the metal trades to arbitrade the question of a 44-hour week. CONFESS KILLING OF MAN Lancaster, Pa„ May 30.—District Attorney Hosterman announced this afternoon that Petro Scorito, held for the murder of Bruno Trotiano, Tuesday night, near York Furnace, had confessed, Implicating Frank Capp, who is also held. Scorito said he shot Trotiano and Capp beat him down with a billy, after Scorito had threatened to "try out his gun."
