FAIL TO ATTRACT CAPITAL Complain That They Are Hit by the High Cost of Living, but Unlike Others They Are Not Permitted to Adjust Their Charges. Washington, Nov. 25.—Railroads of the country have felt the burden of the increased cost of living, like all ether enterprises or individuals, “but unlike all others have not. been per- mitted so far to raise their prices or adjust their charges in recognition of that burden,” Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, said in arguing before the interstate commerce commission for authority to increase freight rates approximately 5 per cent in the ter- ritory east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers. Referring to the refusal of the commission in 1910 to grant a 10 per cent increase and the promise to re- investigate the rate question in the future should conditions warrant it, Mr. Willard asserted that operation of the railroads during the last three years was not such as to inspire con- fidence of private capital or encour- age the support of private enterprise. “It is a mistake to think that the problem is merely a question of divi- dends to railroad stockholders, al- though that feature is, of course, in- volved. Problem of Great Import, “The problem in a broad and true sense affects all interests, and the outcome of this particular case— whichever way it is decided—will mark an epoch, because it will in effect, very largely determine whether we shall as in the past con- tinue to look to private capital and private enterprise for our transporta- tion requirements, or be compelled finally to aecept the only alternative possible.” In presenting the facts upon which the railroads rely to prove the neces- sity for an increase in rates, Mr. Wil- lard asserted that during the last three years the railroads in the ter- ritory affected had spent in proper- ty investments $600,000,000, or at the rate of $200,000,000 per year. Never- theless, he added, because of the fact that operating expenses had in- creased faster than operating reve- nues these railroads earned in the year ending June 30, 1913, less by $16,311,321 than for the year ending June 30, 1910. Should the commission grant the authority for the increase by Eastern roads it may extend the authority to the other railroads of the country. SLIDES MAY DELAY OPENING No Date Set for Passage of Ships Through Canal. Washington, Nov. 25.—No definite date for the official opening of the Panama canal is set in the annual report of Colonel George Goethals, chairman and chief engineer of the canal commission, which has just been submitted to Secretary Garrison. Neither is there any prediction of when ships may first pass from ocean to ocean. The first day of the canal’s actual operation still depends upon the treacherous slides of Culebra cut and how fast the dredges can keep the channels open. The canal proper, exclusive of the approaches, the machine shops and the warehouses and great ocean docks at either end, would have been complet- ed during the last fiscal year, but for the extensive slides in the Culebra cut. And to deal with the great prob- lems involved in the removal of the slides no effective way was found ex- cept the bodily displacement of vast hills. ST. PAUL’S PLEA OPPOSED Request for Equal Rates to Twin City Terminals, St. Paul, Nov. 25.—Opposition on the part of the railroads to the peti- tion of the St. Paul Association of Commerce asking that the state rail- road commission order that the dis- tance to St. Paul and Minneapolis be considered identical in the enforce- ment of the Cashman distance tariff rates, developed at the hearing before the commission. The carriers went so far as to urge that different rates must be made to different stations within the corporate limits of each city, main- taining that the law makes mileage the basis of all tariffs and allows of no variance except under heavy pen- alties.

Sayre. ‘CEREMONY IN EAST ROOM Distinguished Company of More Than Five Hundred Persons Attends First Notable Social Event of the Present Administration. Waskingtén, Nov. 25.—In the lofty Bast room of the White House, under a flood of mellow electric light from thousands of incandescents shining through cut crystal and in the pres- ence of a distinguished company of more than 500, Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson, second daughter of the presi- dent of the United States, was mar- Yied to Francis B. Sayre of New York. The officiating clergyman was Rev. Sylvester W. Beach of Princeton, a friend of the Wilson family. Miss Margaret Wilson, sister of the bride, was maid of honor, and Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell of Labrador, a close persona] friend of the bridegroom, acted as best man. The bridesmaids were. Miss Eleanor R. Wilson, sister of the bride; Miss Mary G. White of Baltimore, Miss Adeline Mitchell Scott of Princeton and Miss Marjorie Brown of Atlanta, Ga. Benjamin B. Burton of New York city, Dr. Scovill Clark of Salem, Mass., Dr. Gilbert Horax of Montclair, N. J.: Charles E. Hughes, Jr., of Washington and New York city were the ushers. The wedding marked the first social] function of genuine importance of the Washington winter season. Likewise it was the first notable social event of the Wilson administration which came into being nearly nine months ago. The ceremony was a simple one in @ 1913, by American Press Association. FRANCIS B, SAYRE. keeping with the tastes of the bride and her parents. Although the event was without military display members of the diplomatic corps and officers of the army and navy appeared in uni- forms. Miss Jessie Wilson had always been considered the beauty of the family. She was attired in a gown of white satin. It was the soft yet heavy sort that seemed to cling rather than to insist upon the retentions of rectangles of its drapings. It was trimmed with real lace, the folds being held in place by natural orange blossoms. The bodice of the gown was embroidered in an orange blossom design. Few young women about to enter the married state have had so many gifts showered upon them. Miss Wil- son has received remembrances from every corner of the globe. The great spare room on the top floor of the White House has been filled to over- flowing with gifts. The most prized among them is the gift of the house of representatives, a pendant, pear- shaped in outline, containing eighty- five small pure white diamonds and one large diamond of beautiful tint. The musical program by the United States Marine band included selec- tions from the work of the late ®thel- bert Nevia, a cousin of the bride groom. The boy choir of St. John’s Episcopal church furnished the vocal music. While Miss Wilson was the thir- teenth bride going forth from the White House, her marriage was only the fifth in which the bride was a president’s daughter. Plans for the honeymoon included & visit to Windsor Forges, near Church- town, Pa., the home of Miss Nevin, the bridegroom’s aunt, where Miss Wilson and Mr. Sayre were visiting when they first met. Mr. Sayre will take his bride to Williamstown, Mass., where their home, leased from Pro- fessor William E. McElfresh, at 40 Grace street, has been put in readi- ness for them.

Winona, Minn., Nov. 25.—Frank Norton, aged twenty-four years, ar- rested here, is said to have confess- ed to the police that he set fire to thirty buildings in that town because he craved excitement. The arrest grew out of an inves- tigation that C. E. Keller, state fire marshal, has conducted for the last month, In his alleged confession Norton is said to ir plicate Ernest Cook, also under arrest. Cook, according to Mr. Keller, is not mentally sound. Norton, according to state and Wi- nona officials, was arrested while in the act of setting fire to a. barn. Since Oct. 1 Winona has had fifty fires, which the authorities have be- lieved to have been of incendiary or- igin. WARNING OF DANGER BY POISONED MEAT Warm Weather Spoils Immense Quantity at Chicago, Chicago, Nov. 25.—Warning of danger of poisons in tons of meat, spoiled by the unusually mild weath- er, was issued by the city bureau of food inspection. A great quantity of meats was distributed in Chicago last week for consumption on Thanksgiving. The temperature rose and remained in the sixties for sev- eral days. No preparation had been made to keep the extra stock of meat in the coolers and a considerable portion of it spoiled. Friday and Saturday the bureau condemned 6,000 pounds of rabbits and hudreds of fowl, but the situa tion is beyond the control of the in- spectors. Dr. Sherman, chief of the bureau, asserted the Thanksgiving rush has caused producers to pack meats be- fore the animal heat had died out and shipped them in nonrefrigerator cars. “Products in the stage of decompo- sition can be detected by the odor,” Dr. Sherman said. “Fowls and game only slightly spoiled are harder to detect, but just as likely to caus severe intestinal disorders.” EEEEEEEE EE EEE SEES SAFEBLOWERS SECURE LOOT OF EIGHTY CENTS.
