| NEW RATES ON IRON AND STEEL HELD UP Proposed 'Increase in Freight Tariffs Are Suspended Un- til January 29. AFFECTS EXPORT MOST Washington, Sept. 29.—Tariffs of railroads in the middle west and east proposing increases of 7 and 8 cents per 100 pounds on iron and steel arti- cles from Chicago, Puttsburgh and other points to the Atlantic seaboard and gulf ports for export were sus- pended today by the Interstate Com- merce commission until January 29 pending investigation. The suspended tariffs would affect a large volume of the shipments to European belligerents. The proposed increases have been fought by shippers, who contended they were without justification and an attempt by carriers to take some of the profits of the iron and steel business. One company estimated that its loss under outstanding con- tracts if the advances became effec- tive would be $100,000. The railroads claimed that they had made a one- third reduction in the past in iron and steel rates to enable manufacturers to reach out for foreign business, and that the roads are now proposing to restore rates to where they stood when exceptional conditions caused reductions. The Pennsylvania railroad claimed as one of its reasons for the increase that it has to enlarge its terminal fa- cilities at New York, Philadelphia and Boston to handle export trade at an outlay of $25,000,000, and that de- livery to shipside is more expensive than to domestic consignees. Woman Found Dead In Burning House Beaten and Choked Mountain View, N. H., Sept. 29.— Mrs, Frederick L. Small, wife of a Boston real estate broker, who was burned in a fire which destroyed the small symmer home st Lake Ossipee last maht. was murdered, it was dis- ‘covered today when her body was taken from the ruins. She had been beaten over the head and strangled by a rope tied around her neck, The police believe the fire was set to cover the crime. By a mere chance, however, this failed.” The body was dropped into the basement and the and_neck lodged in a pool of water, The rope which had been drawn about the neck was preserved. * Mr. Small, who had left his cottage on a business trip to Boston six hours before the fire was discovered, hurried back today to assist the po- lice in their investigation, He said his wife was alone in the cottage when he departed. % i Later on his own authority Sheriff Chandler placed Small under arrest and held him at a local hotel pendin, instructions from the county solici- tor, | Hunzberger Urges | Blection of Hughes Columbus, Neb., Sept. 29.—(Special Tel)t‘[rlm.)—Dr. esley Hunzberger of New York last night addressed lo- | cal republicans, declaring the time was || ripe now for a change of administra- | tion.

T sec- ¢| HOLLWEG, SPEECH MR. HUGHES SPEAKS AT BINGHAMTON Republican Nominee 8ays No One Can Tell Where Demo ‘Party 8tands on Tariff. PROTECTION REAL NEED Binghamton, N. Y. Sept. 29.— Charles E. Hughes motored over muddy str¥ets through the first rain- storm he has experienced since com- mencing his campaign, August 5, to address an audience in the opera house here today. The strenuous program laid before him by the national chairman was vetoed by the nominee himself, who merely appeared on the rear platform of his car so that the crowds might see him at stations between Saratoga and Binghamton. It had been ar- ranged tc have him speak at these stations, but at the last moment it was decided to have other speakers take his place so that he might con- serve his voice. Mr. Hughes spoke of the protec- tive tariff. “I tell you, fellow citi- zens,” he said, “we are facing a crit- ical period. It is no time to be talk- ing of a tariff for revenue only. We need protection to qur industries, and there is no man in %w country today who can tell you where the demo- cratic party stands with respect to protection of American interests. “It takes all of us, too, to make the United States, and to make our coun-| try prosperous, and we'll never do it| unless labor and capital work togeth- er amicably.” The nominee renewed his attack on the administration for the Adamson bill. He declared that he “would like to see an eight-hour, work day,” but that he l!om? squarely for inves- tigation before legislation and would “not yield an inch either to labor or capital” in that principle. Trade Pacts Not Aimed a[; America Washington, Sept. 29.—Baron Yo- shira Sakatani, former Japanese min- ister of finance, who had charge of | f; apan's financial reconstruction after | ki the RuasoJaFanue war, arrived here early today for a two days’ visit to officials and friends. He is enroute to Japan from the reeent economic conferences at Paris, looking to a commercial campaign after the war. Baron Sakatani deprecated the | alarm expressed- by some American newspapers over the Paris economic conference, dechrin?7 the United States was regarded the allies in a most friendly way and that no move would be made by them after the war which would be injurious to Ameri- can trade. Any action taken, he said, would be , entirely against the pro- posed Geérman middle Europe trade alliance. ENDS TALK ABOUT PEACE AT PRESENT (Continued ¥rom Page Ome.) e i Roumania must support the central pow: not only on account of the provisions of the treaty, but also for the sake of the country's honor. The late king regarded as sophistry the oh{ection that Roumania had not been influenced in regard to the Austro- Hungarian demarche in regard to Ser- bia and had not been consulted about it, Calls Roumania a Traitor. “But when the deciding session of the crown council was held the'aged king did not succeed as against the government, whose prime minister, notwithstanding treaty obligations, sympathized with the entente pow- ers. A short time later the king died owing to the emotions caused by the realization that Roumania was a traitor to its allies. “The Roumanian policy was now guided by Premier Bratiano, who at- tempted to gain territory without making sacrifices at the expense of arty suffering defeat in the war.| he main point was to discover in| time which party was about to win final victory in order not to be too late.

He said Roumania attempted to collaborate with the British euorts | to establish a blockade of Germany | withholding grain purchased by Ger- many until the grain was obtained by means of energetic pressure. The premier again hesitated when the cen- | rral‘powcrs. initiating the offensive in| Galicia in the spring of last year,| broke through the Russian line at| Gorlice and was in doubt whether he had placed his wager on the right person. Negotiations with the enten- te were almost suspended. “The Russian offensive this spring,” the chancellor continued, “made Pre- mier Bratiano believe he saw the| breaking down of the central powers. | Accordingly, he decided to obtain a share when the robbery of the dead body began. Furthermore, the en- tente powers had a freeer hand in conducting negotiations than others. Serbia had been conquered and the | protectors of small, feeble states were no longer obliged to show any con- | sideration for Serbia’s former wishes | in regard to annexation of territory, They could be more liberal toward Bratiano Deceives King. “In the middle of August Bratiano came to terms with our enemies. He reserved for himself, however, the de- cisipn as to the time actual hostilities were to be inaugurated and attempted to make it dependent on military con- ditions, The king of Roumania up to that time had repeatedly made the most'bmding assurances that under all circumstances he would remain pcmra.L Finally the Roumanian min- ister in Berlin on the order of the | king gave to me a formal declaration that the king desired to maintain Roumania’s neutrality and that the government was in a position to do 80. Premier Bratiano declared to the German minister at Bucharest, Baron von Bussche-Haddenhausen, that he ully endorsed the declaration of the ing. “ilowexfer, we were not deceived. We were informed continuously in re- gard to Bratiano's negotiations during August and constantly directed the | kmgts attention to the secret intrigues of his prime minister. The king de- clared several times that Bratiano was not bound or binding himself to the entente. As late as three days before the declaration of war the king said to our minister that he knew the overwhelming majority of the Rou- manian nation did not desire war. To an intimate friend the king declared on the same day in the most cate- gorical fashion that he would not sign an order for mobilization. “On August 26, the day preceding Roumania's declaration of war, the king said to the Austro-Hungarian minister that he did not wish war. I added in passing that Bratiano at the same time assured ‘the Austro- Hungarian representative that he had decided to maintain neutrality and that the outcome of tha session of the crown council which had been called for the following day would prove the truth of his words. “As late as August 23 the entente powers had not decided at what mo- ment Roumania ought to declare war. We knew this from a most reliable sourcd The Roumanian army still lacked preparedness and particularly lacked ammunition, as was proven later at the tinle of the fall of Tur- tukai and Silistria. Ultimatum by Russia. “Then events were precipitated. From information which may be con- sidered reliable it appears that Rus- sia suddenly presented an ultimatum that it would cross the unprotected Roumanian frontier if Roumania did not begin war before August 28. Whether this ultimatum was a piece of comedy prearranged with Bratiano, in order to influence the hesitating king, I leave undecided, but the dic was cast. “M.
