HEW fIPPLICIITION FOiiER RATES Public Hearing on De mand of Eastern Rail roads for Increased Freight Charges WILLARD MAKES INITIAL SPEECH President of the Baltimore and Ohio Says the Needs of the Carriers Are Pressing and Immediate and Situa tion Is Extremely Critical Washington, Oct. 19. —.Public hear iug on the new application of eastern railroads for increased freight rates, which they contend are necessary be cause of the world-wide financial exi gency, due in part to the European war. were begun here today before the In terstate < ommerce Commission. The Commission is hearing argument only upon issues which have arisen since its decision in July, which denied abso lutely increases east of Pittsburgh and Buffalo and granted increases west fijom those points to the Mississippi river. All the Commissioners, except Chair man Harlem, who va> ill, were present. '.Mr. Clements presided. The . railroad lines were represented by their princi pal executives. Individual "shippers and shippers' organizations who oppose further increases were represented by counsel, among them Clilt'oul Thome, who led the opposition to the last ap plication. Railroad Statement Heard First To-day's hearing was given over to a statement for the railroads. The shippers and their representatives will be heard later. Daniel E. Willard, pres ident of the Baltimort and Ohio rail read, made the opening statement for the roails. "The needi. of the carriers are pressing and immediate,'' he declared, "The actual situation has become ex tremely critical." The railroads are seeking a flat in crease of five per cent, in freight rates throughout the territory cast of the Mississippi and north or the Ohio and Potomac rivers. Befers to Foimer Decision Mr. Willard called atteutiou to the decision of the Commission in the for mer case, wherein was stated that the "net operating income of the railroads in official classification territory is smaller than is demanded in the interest both of t,he general public and the rail roads," and to the fact tli3t the rail roads had already taken action to se cure additional revenues through vari ous advances and changes of practice. "The measures of relief proposed by the Commission will not, in our opin ion. adequately mee* tiie existing situa tion, " he added. "The annual statement of all the railroads involved in this proceeding combined for the fis,:al venr ending June 3.0, 1914, show roundly that the total operating revenues during that year were approximately $63,000,000 less than during the previous vear. while the operating expenses during the same period were approximately SI!S,- 000.000 greater. "The net operating income of these companies for the same period amount ed to $-58,900,000, or approximately $77,700,000 less than was earned lur ing the previous year, and equal to but 3.98 per cent, upon the property in vestment, a lower return than was shown at any time in fifteen years. "The income applicable to interest dividends and surplus due the (is a! year just closed, was $264,900,000 o' 4.02 per cent, upon the total capital obligations, this return also being low er than any in fifteen years. "A war such as that now raging causes great and immediate disturbance to industry, commerce and finance. It causes contraction of credit and great restrictions, if not the actual stoppage of international trade as well as serious disturbance to domestic commerce and as we have seen it has thrown the se curity markets of the world first into panic and then in suspension of opera tions. Results Produced by War "In so far as the war and its con sequences tend to change the conditions surrounding the enlistment of new capi tal they tend to change the fundamental relation between railroad and shipper for the cost of capita! is one of the most important elements of the co.«t of transportation. "It is known that the railroads of the I'nited States have over $520,- 000,000 of outstanding obligations which will mature and must be met within the next twelve months alone. It was shown iu the original record in this case that the roads in Official Classification Territory only had spcut approximately $200,000,000 per annum upon their properties for improvements and extensions during the last ten year period, and it will be necessary to con sider such expenditures if the roads are to maintain their standard of service and provide for the growing needs of the future. " further, as nearly as can be ascer tained, there are more than $3,000,- 000,000 v par value of American rail road securities held abroad as invest ments. The demands for cash in Eu rope, growing out of the present sit nation, will doubtless result in large selling of such securities when the mar kets or stock ex.liauges are again opened and tiie possible effect of such selling upon railroad credit and related subjects in causing much concern. "With all this in mind it will read ily be seen that the available supply of and probable demand for new capi tal, as well as the interest rates there on, are matters of great importance not only to the railroads but also to those who depend upon them for transporta tion. '' Mr. Willard concluded his statement by saying that a "grave emergency ex ists" and that should it appear at any time that the emergency had passed, the commission had power to order any reductions, and that he was of the opin ion that should reductions he shown to be warranted the railroads would not oppose them. Vice President Shriver of the Balti more and Ohio submitted data for the eastern railroads as a whole to support Mr. Willard's statement. Mr. Shriver presented statistics of the financial con dition of the rnilroads for the year end ing Juno 30. This synopsis of his statement waß resented by Mr. Shriver: "Operating revenue in 1914 was 91,- 375,000,000 less by $48,000,000 than in 1913, although operating expenses (notwithstanding the smaller amount of | business handled) were $22,000,000 . more than in the previous year. While I the business handled in 1914, was, ex cepting 1913, the largest in fifteen i years the net operating income was the: smallest shown in ten years. "Taxes increased $2,900,000 in' 1914; since 1900 they increased 157, per cent. "'For the Pennsylvania, the New! York Central and the Baltimore and Ohio, net operating income in 1914 was $41,476,000 less than in 1913 aud the lowest in ten years. Dividends paid by these three systems were smallest in five years and at the lowest average rate for ten years. "In 1914 for the three systems the j sum available for interest, dividends' and surplus amounted to but 4.54 per' cent, on the total capital obligations, aj rate ranch the lowest of any shown in the preceding fourteen years.

I 11 DEMI Oil LIBERHTICKET Democrats Who Were Asked to Withdraw Hadn't Done So by Noon To-day LAST CHANCE TO DROP OUT Candidate Desiring to Retire Frwn Any Tickot Must File Affidavit* Bof ore Midnight at the State De partment Up to noon to-day—the last, day en which a candidate can withdraw from a party ticket —none of the candidates on the Democratic ticket for Congress, State Senate or Assembly who had been nominated later by the Personal Liberty party had withdrawn from the ticket, of the latter party, at. least no such withdrawals had been filed at the State Department. The Democratic State executive committee at its moot ing on Friday, adopted a resolution calling on all Democratic, candidates who had been endorsed by the Per sonal Liberty party and nominated by paper I *, to get off the tickot at once, but there are no indications that they are going to repudiate the Personal Liberty party nomination. In order to withdraw from the Per sonal Liberty ticket it will be neces sary for a candidate to send a letter to the Secretary of the Commonwealth notifying him of such withdrawal, ac companied by an affidavit to that ef fect. Nothing of the kind has as yet been received at the State Department from the Democratic candidates nomi nated by the Personal Liberty party, and unless such withdrawal is filed by the time the department closes to day the candidates' names will be printed on the ballot as Personal Lib erty nominees, as well as Democratic, nominees. This is the last day for the with drawal of candidates at the State De partment, hut there was no rush to get ofT the tickets or to make substitutions for those who had' previously with drawn. Notice was filed to-day that Joseph B. Martin, of Middletowii. who was the regular Democratic nominee for As sembly in the Second Dauphin district, and was afterward endorsed by the Washington party, had been substitui ed on the Prohibition ticket in place 6f Aaron Daniels, who withdrew last week. Mr. Martin now is the candidate of three parties. Other withdrawals were as follows: William M. DeYcn nev, Prohibition candidate for Con gress. Thirty-first district, Allegheny, and David C. Humphreys, Prohibition candidate for Assembly, Twenty-second Philadelphia district. ROOF IN NAILED ON TABERNACLE fnntlnned Krom Klrnf rage. North and State streets in the vicinity of the. forming tabernacle. The large size of the building w : as surprising to many. Not until this afternoon did the skeleton begin to assume the distinct: form of a tabernacle. The roof went on slowlv, plank by plank. The slope on the east side was covered first, while ithe workmen on the west side hurried to reach the middle. The covering gave shade inside the structure where tired workmen could occasionally rest. The place also provided a big temptation for the children going to and from pchool, to stop and play. Danger sign* gave warning for everybody to keep out of the structure during the construc tion work. Arrangements are being made, it is said, to provide the volunteer workmen with meals to-morrow, and each suc ceeding day while operations continue. The dinner on Saturday was very popu lar, and it is believed that repetitions of the treat would induce moro work men to volunteer for service. The men's mass meeting at (irace Methodist church and the women's meeting at Hinge Avenue Methodist church yesterday afternoon each had an audience of about 600. Enthusiasm was high, particularly at the men's meeting, when those present were ask ed to declare themselves openly as sup porters of the Stough, campaign. Two mass meetings will again be held in the city next Sunday afternoon, one for men and one for women. The plan of holding separate meetings in three sec tions of the city has been abandoned, and but one speaker is now to be »e cured for the men and one for the worn en. The routine preliminary activities of the Stough campaign continue during this week. Shop meetings are held daily, for men and women. The min isters of the co-operating churches met this morning at Grace Methodist church for an hour of prayer. Prayers are of fered every afternoon at 12.30 o'clock at headquarters for the success of the Stough campaign.
