HALF CENT HIGHER
Railroads Figure on That In
crease In East, One Cent In
West, Meet Wage Increase
Washington, July 23. An Increase
of 20 per cent In passenger fares
and 60 per cent in Pullman charges
was asked of the Interstate Com
merce Commission today by the
railroads to cover part of the $600,
000,800 wage award of the railroad
labor board.
Additional Increases In freight
rates, ranging from 10 per cent In
the Eastern territory to 8 per cent
In the Western territory also were
asked. The executives requested
increases in the freight rates on
milk proportionate to the Increase In
the rates on other commodities made
in the roads' first applications for
rate advances.
The Increases in passenger, freight
and milk tariffs, said Alfred I".
Thorn, counsel for the executives,
will take care of the total of $626,
000,000 which the executives esti
mate is added to transportation
costs by the labor board's award.
Mr. Thorn explained that the addi
tion $26,000,000 over the board's
award was accounted for by certain
overtime charges provided for in the
award.
The Increases of freight rates
asked by the executives today are
In addition to those previously asked.
If the commission grants all of the
demands, freight rates In the East
will be advanced 40 per cent and
those In the West 32 per cent. The
exact advance in the South has not
been computed, but probably will be
around 40 per cent.
Washington, July 22. Travel on
railway passenger trains will cost
from 1-2 half to one- - cent a mile
more If the Interstate Commerce
Commission adopts the suggestion of
the Association of Railway Execu
tives for meeting the $600,000,000
added operation expenses by reason
of increased wages granted to em
ployes of the roads by the labor
board. A schedule of Increased
rates, both freight and passenger,
has been worked out by the execu
tives In conference here during the
last two days and this was expected
to be ready today for submission to
the commission.
According to A. P. Thorn, counsel
for the railway association, In addi
tion to Increased passenger fares, In
cluding commutation and multiple
tickets and Pullman charges, the car
riers will ask that milk and express
transportation be allowed to bear a
proportion of the Increased labor ex
pense. Also an Increase of about t
per cent in freight charges will be
asked in addition to the 28 per cent
sought In order to meet the six per
cent guarantee, provided in trie
transportation act passed In the last
congress.
As tentatively agreed uponby the
carriers the Increase on ordinatry
passenger travel would be half a
cent a mile in tree east and from
three Quarters of a cent to a cent
In the west. The chief difficulty fac
ed. It was said, was In making the
proposed schedules conform to tar
ious state laws.

Presidential Nominee; Not
Known If He Will Take It
Lincoln, Neb., July 22. The Pro
hibition party today re-arranged its
convention schedule, pending word
from William J. Bryan as to his ac
ceptance of the party's nomination.
The platform committee, vlitual
ly ready late last night, with its
tentative draft, was In exeoutlve ses
sion today redrafting the platform
so that, as its member said, "There
could he nothing In It which could
not meet with Mr, Bryan's whole
hearted approval."
Chief among the planks redrafted
were those dealing with the league
of nations, agriculture, profiteering
and commerce. A plank calling for
a world tribunal, but not specifical
ly the Versailles league, was adopt
ed by the committee.
There was little doing In the con
vention hall. All committees and
leadors were busy outside arranging
to "make Bryan the next president."

AGREED SHAMROCK
IS A FASTER BOAT
Race Yesterday Won By Reso
lute, But Victory Due to Time
Allowance; Race Tomorrow
Sandy Hook, N. J., July 22. The
cup challenger Shamrock, IV., was
towed to the Staten Island ship
building plant here early today to
be dry docked and her deck to be
cleaned in preparation for the fourth
race with the American defender
Resolute tomorrow. The contest
yesterday in which the two sloops
went over the 30-mile course In ex
actly the same elapsed time, has
added marked Interest to the con
tests to come.
Captain Burton, Designer Nichol
son and Navigator Claude Hickman,
of the Shamrock, were especially
pleased with what they agree was
a wonderfully fine race yesterday
even If the challenger lost It on
time allowance.
The race tomorrow will be over
a triangular course ten miles to a
leg and it Is this contest that Sham
rock is expected to force the Reso
lute to the limit, as two legs of the
race will be reaches.
Yachting sharps declare that
Shamrock can outreach Resolute In
any kind of wind, but whether she
ran outreach her sufficiently to
overcome the handicap of seven
minutes and one second is a riddle
which If answered correctly will also
answer that other question: "Will
Lipton win the cup?"
The Resolute remained at her
moorings today in the horseshoe,
where an Inspection was made oi
her rigging and sails.

Lincoln, Neb., July 23. With the
nomination of its presidential can
didate completed, the prohibition na
tional convention today turned Its
attention toward the selection of a
vice presidential candidate, the adop
tion of a platform and election of a
new national committee. Adjourn
ment tonight was considered possi
ble. The convention nominated W. J.
Bryan for Its presidential candidate
over a protest made by Charles
Bryan, his brother, thru New York
delegates. Early today no word had
been received from Mr. Bryan con
cerning his attitude on the nomina
tion. Scores of messages were hand
led by a telegraph company last
night directed to Mr. Bryan at Pony
and Bozeman, Montana, where his
brother said he was scheduled to de
liver Chautauqua addresses. Reports
from Crookaton, Minn., however.
Insisted that he was there taking a
brief rest after a lecture engage
ment. - - - . .. .
Aa a running mate for Mr. Bryan
the name of Miss Marie Brehm, Los
Angeles, Cal., stood out in discussion
among the delegates.
Miss Brehm was one of the out
standing figures in the first day's
session' of the- convention yesterday,
She was chosen permanent chair
man of the convention and after
presiding with vigor over Its delib
erations all afternoon yielded the
chair and placed Bryan in nomina
tion. I
Early talk of "Billy" Sundny as a
vice president possibility was brought
to an abrupt stop by the evangellst'a
statement, made In Hood River, Ore.,
that he considered Senator Harding
a satisfactory "dry candidate."
The platform committee was still
In session when the convention met
this morning, but was expected to
conclude Its deliberations during the
day.
Indications were that the plat
form would contain a clear-cut de
claration against any lesa stringent
enforcement of the eighteenth
amendment than Is now provided by
the Volstead Act and a brief plank
setting forth the party's sympathy
with "Just". claims of labor. A league
of nations pronouncement was ex
pected which would declare for a
league of nations, but not specifical
ly for the league provided for in the
covenant of the treaty of Versailles.
An Antl-lynchlng plank and a party
declaration on the subject of Mexico
also were scheduled.
