In it Mr. Bryan made public for the first time_the fact that the question of how the “teetotaler’ customs of his home would be rec in officlal society was diecussed with President Wilson before he accepted the portfollo of tate. The statement follows: “We did not intend to magnify, by mentioning it, the importance of the non-use of wine at the dinner given to Ambassador Eryce Monday night, but as the papers have made some in- accurate references to the matter, the facts might as well be known. Chis was the first dinner which we have given to members of the diplo- matic corps, and therefore the fl time when we came into conflict with the social custom of serving wine at dinner. The seven other ambassador then in the city and their ladies were invited to meet Ambassador and Mrs. Bryce, and as all the gentlemen guests present were from foreign countries, I thought it proper to explain to them the reason for our failure to conform to what seems to have been customary n this matter. Jelieving that the issue should be ankly in the beginning, I told len we sat down to the table, ‘Mrs, Bryan and I had been tee- ers from our youth, as were our fore us. and had never liquor at our table; that when the president was kind enough to ten- der the portfolio of state I asked him her our failure to serve wine d be any embarrassment to the istrat and that he generously left the mat to our T suggested I thought it un to assume that those coming to us from abroad would ju rshly, o be willing to tolerate t ntenanch of a traditional custom, and expressed the hope that our friendship would be made so apparent to them, and our hospitality so cordial, that they would overlook this weal in us, if they regarded s a weakness.

New England Freight Rates SUBJECT OF INQUIRY AT BOSTON YESTERDAY. HIGHER IN THE SOUTH Testimony of Chief of Railroad Tariff Bureau—Admits Advances on Lum- ber and Potato Shipments. Boston, April 24—The matter of the freight rates charged by the New York, New Haven and Hartford rail- roads and its allied lines in New Eng- land was taken up by the Interstate Commerce commission this afternoon. The earlier sessions have been oc- cupied chlefly with testimony regard- ing the finances of the New Haven system. Commissioner Prouty said that the commission was procéeding on the theory that a transportation monopoly d been created in New England. Three tkings should be determine namely: New Haven Freight Service Good. “How does thesservice in New Eng- land compare with service in other parts of the country: how do New Engiand rates compare with rates in other sections; and what effect on rates has been produced by the New Haven's acquisition of the Boston and Main and its leased lines.” After studving tables introduced to show the comparative service main- tained by a number of leading rail- roads in the country, the commission- er said that in his opinion the New Haven's freight service was as good as any of the others, and that of the Boston and Maine about the poores Lower Rates Than South. Frank §. Davis, chief of the tariff bureau of the New England lines was the only witness. He produced bulky record hooks, quoted rates in various sections on all kinds of commodities and special classes of freight, and de- duced that since the merger of the Boston and Maine and the New Haven there had been advances in 15 percent of the tafiffs and reductions | in the remaining $5 percent. Fully 75 percent of the increases, he estimated, were due to the cancellation of so- called “paper” or useless tariffs. He compared rates between New England points with the rates from North Carolina to South Carolina and Georgia poinis on cotton piece goods and manufactured cotton goods; the rates on the Boston and Maine, Maine Central, and New York, New Havea and Hartford roads being lower in every case than the rates in the south. Some Reductions Due to Laws. Since the merger, he said, a Jjoint tariff had been formulated which had superseded 36 separate tariffs on the Boston and Maine, the Maine Central and the New Haven lines. Under cross examination by David O. Ives, chalrman of the transporta- tion committee of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, and Robert Homans, counsel for the chamber, the witness said that some of the reductions were due to laws recently passed. “We are not bragging about these reductions,” observed Edgar J. Rich, counsel for the Boston and Maine, “we are apoligizing for them. Lumber and Potato Rates Advanced. Cross examination also developed that since the merger the rates on shipments of lumber from Maine Central stations to points in New Hampshire had been advanced. Mr. Davis sald that he did not think these advances were made because the railroad had an opportun to ircrease its revenue on great quanti- ties of lumber that had to be moved. He was unable to give any reason for the advance, Mr. Davis thought potatoes from Maine points to Boston and New York had been increased but could not state possitively. Neither did he know personally that coal freight rates were higher in New England than in other sections. that the rates on Boston Exchange Repudiates Brandeis. | An incident of the day that carried some surprise was the announcement by the directors of the Boston Fruit and Produce Exchange that Louis D. andeis who was supposed to be rep- resenting the exchange at the Inqui ng *he statement concludes.

The Steel-Drake con- cern is one of the largest cake bakers in the world, using a ton of eggs a day.

One Is the Purcell bill, under which various forms of sports may be conducted be sides musical and moving picture en- tertainments, all during the afternoon or evening hours, and it also permits ternoon and evening hours of the day. Opponenis of the measure claimed in debate that the bill also permits sports of all kinds, without restriction of any kind, and in effect would commercial- ize the Lord's day. The second bill is that recommended by the judiciary as the limit to which the committee felt itself able to go and provides very lit- te more than band concerts and recreative amateur sports in parks on Sunday afternoons under direction of park authorities. The Sunday bills now go to the house, where a lively debate is antici- pated. Will Hold Session Today. The senate is becoming extremely f anxious about the prospects of com- pleting business, and various sugges- tions and motions to fix definite and additional hours for sessions resulted in an order of the day for Tuesday at noon to settle definitely about after- noon and night sessions and whether there shall be more than.three session days a week. Both branches adjourned until tomorrow in sp general opposition to a Friday s Governor Appoints Progressive. Committee hearings are thinning out but those before the judiciary com- mittee are increasing in interest. Dur- ing the consideration of resolutions for-judgeships in the New Haven city court this afternoon, Philip Pond, in advocating the retention of Judge Hoyt, offered a letter of endorsement of E. P. Arvins, president of the New Haven county bar, saying that he be- lieved Mr. Arvine was a democrat, or at least as a democrat presumably the governor had appointed him to suc- ceed himself (Pond) as a member of the state board of mediation and arbi- tration. It was declared that Mr. Ar- vine was a progressive, amid much laughter from the republicans in the room. The democrats, who have ex pected the governor to make appoint- ments from among democrats, did not smile so heartily. One Man Endorses Opposing Cand dates. At another point Mr. Pond presented the endorsement of Mr. Day of Wat- rous Day in Judge Hovt’s behalf, and Senator McDonough, holding up a letter, asked what the committee would do when it had Mr. Watrous’ endorsement of Mr. Kenna, who is a democratic candidate for the judge- ship. Mr. Pond said the committee Wwould have to give due consideration to both endorsements. As in previous hearings, the various candidates for judgeship were highly commended for their legal ability. splendid character and common sense. HOW THE EXPRESS | BUSINESS FELL OFF Receipts for January Show Loss of $11,933 to Adams Company. | New Haven.

The decrease of the railroad's express recelpts for that month, as compared with January, 1912, is $11,- 933, or about six per cent. of the total receipts for the month. It indicates | 2 1oss to the railroad company of about $144,000 a year and of a somewhat greater sross sum to the express com- pany which takes per ceni. of its gross receipts on New Haven road, | The railroad company receives prac- | tically no increased pay from the gov- ernment for the parcel post business The returns do not include the receipts from one other express company which operates a single through train upon the road: COSTS OF $740 ADDED | TO JACK JOHNSON'S FINE.
