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. Previous
to 1914 the ratio did not fall below
5.67 per cent."

Mrs, Carman Distributes Trinkets
Before leaving her cell to enter the

trinkets to the matron and requested
that they he distributed among the
other prisoners. The men and woman in
t'he .fail <*houted "good luck'' as she
passed their cells.
Not long after the court rortm was

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.
