Washington, Nov. 19. Proposed revi-ri'-r. by the railroads of commodity freight rates, designed to eliminate de vWions from the long and short haul prevision of the interstate commerce iot. in the construction of rates pri marily affecting Mississippi valley points and Nashville. Tenn.. tonight fas found by the Interstate Commerce Commission to be not justified except in ;?rtain instances. The Commission ordered the railroads :o cancel the suspended schedules inso ii'ar as they were found not justified and to file new schedules establishing rates in accordance with maximum basis pre scribed by the Commission. The Commission had previously held that the maintenance of lower rates to New Orleans, Memphis and other Mississippi River points, to Mobile and (-.her Gulf points, nad to Nashville than Tvere contemporaneously maintained to intermediate points was no longer jus tified on the ground of existing water competition. The carriers then proposed to remove the discrimination against the intermediate points by materially Increasing the rates to the water points and by making reductions generally to intermediate points. Some of these re ductions are slight and others are sub sthantial in amount. The carriers further informed the Commission that, under the proposed re adjustment, they endeavored to con struct rates in the Mississippi valley on strictly "dry land" basis with the view ?f preserving the existing rates in a zeneral way in the wjiole Southern ter ritory, and at the same time making them conform to the provision of the fourth section. The Commission, however, held that .e carriers had not justified the sus pended rates and ordered that rates should be established which shall not ex ?eed those constructed on the basis escribed by the commission. BY LAWRENCE "MARTIN, International Slews Staff Correspondent. Washington, Nov. 19. The "big three" of the Arms Conference got down to "brass tacks" today on naval armament limitation. At a conference with Secretary "Hughes in his office, Arthur J. Bal four, head of Britain's delegation, and Admiral Baron Kato, spokesman for Japan, were given in the most infor mal way possible, the exact position of the United States with respect to the main point in the American pro gram ending of competition in naval building. The conference lasted for more than an hour. Balfour and Kato occupied big easy chairs in Hughes' private of fice. The only other present was Ka to's personal interpreter. At its close, it was stated that there would be nothing official to say about the meeting of the "big three. nitrates in this country," Ford said of the inventor. "Whenever I want to know about chemistry, I ask , Edison." Asked if Edison had advanced any new ideas for dealing with the Muscle Shoals project Ford said: "New ideas? Watch him. ,Just wait until he has a chance to look over the place thoroughly." COST OF CEMENT. Ford smiled when he spoke of the estimate of Army engineers that it would cost $28,000,000 to complete the Wilson dam, the key to the power de velopment at Muscle Shoals. "You can pour a lot of cement with $28,000,000," he said. "I suppose there will be opposition in Congress to any further expendi tures on Muscle Shoals," Ford con tinued. "There are interests that can always start opposition in a great prospect like this, even though it will benefit them in the long run. But the opposition can't eat this." The fact that organized farmers have swung their strength behind comple tion of Muscle Shoals was called to Ford's attention. "The farmers are two-fisted people and they can do a lot," he said. On the trip ' to Muscle Shoals, Ford will look over much of the adjoining territory in eastern Tennessee and Just before the meeting, an official, speaking for the United States, went 111 v TV" u"u ntn rtlii v,0 imJAlabama, probably visiting Knoxvill attitude upon the British and Jap- J f"d Chattanooga. He nas already oeen anese proposals for modifying the l' thls country on camping trips American program. . Th.6 People there are the real American stock," he said today. THE MAIN QUESTION. I TRESPASSERS KILL BILTMORE RANGER POLITICS IS ADJOURNED. Washington, Nov. 19. The Democra tic party has adjourned politics so far as the Conference on Limitation of Armament is concerned, it was made v-ar lonight in a statement "from the I'c-moc'.'atic National Committee. - - ADJOURNMENT IS APPROVED. Washington, Nov. 19. Approval of plans icr adjournment of the extra ses sion of Congress immediately upon enactment of the tax bill was given by President Harding at a conference 'vith House Leader Mondell late today. He declared the United States can take no cognizance at this time of any suggestion which would in the slight est degree impede the speediest pos sible decision upon the central ques-! tion, which is whether the building of capital ships shall be stopped now. The British suggestion that the Hughes proposal on submarine ton nags be revised will be considered, this spokesman indicated, but it must wait until the question of capital ships is cleared away. Upon the cap ital ship holiday and scrapping rests the whole program, in this Govern ment's view. The cardinal point, this spokesman said, is: Are we going to stop offensive war fare? The United States tackled that at the point which seemed to it the best point of attack, namely, the capital ships. Full consideration can and will be given later, it was explained, to all matters properly dealing with auxil iary craft, in which class the subma rine belongs, . according to the Ameri can theory. As to Japan's insistence upon a high er ratio of naval strength, the Govern ment's spokesman indicated it cannot receive consideration by this Govern ment. He explained that, in framing its pro gram, the United States took into con sideration every capital ship in the American, British arid Japanese navies, no matter what its degree of comple tion. Then the United States said it would scrap 15 ships. It fixed the pro portion for Japan as six-to-ten for the United States and Great Britain, al though -it was held the strict mathe matics and logic of the matter would have dictated a nve-to-ten. NO SIDE ISSUES. Therefore, this Government cannot consider, it was stated, such a sugges tion for instance as that Japan be al lowed to keep the battleship Mutsu, lately commissioned, if it properly comes within those that ought to be scrapped. All this is now clear to Balfour and Kato. Their reaction to it is not known. The official spokesman further stated that the ; conference' itself and no ex perts or committees of -experts will de cide questions of policy. The commit tee of Admirals on matters of naval limitation is expected to furnish in foration and not recommendations, it was made clear. The same rule will apply to other technical committees as may be appointed. These committees are to deal only in facts. Thus far, it was stated, no challenge of the American program on a question of fact has been made. Asheville, Nov. 19. Richard Hare, ranger for the Biltmore estate of Mrs. George W. Vanderbilt, shot by a party of unidentified men he hxd ordered off the estate Friday night, died at a local hospital Saturday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock as a result of the wound. No definite clue to the identity of Hare's slayers has been found, aave tov- the fact that they rode in anJ Oidsmobile touring car. R. H. Burnet, son-in-law cf the slain man, who opened fire upon the automobile as it fled from the scene of the assassaniation believes one or more of his bullets struck the rear of the automobile. Upon this lead, officers hope the Iden tity of the car may be established. Residents of the vicinity are incensed c;;r the cold-blooded killing, and the wholesale use of the region for boot leggers, and immoral parties from Asheville. Hare was 60 years of age, and for two years has been employed on the Biltmore estate. PREMIER BRIAND TO LEAVE NEXT TUESDAY ... W. 1 k i1 Vi r it if IS m 5V 1 nil ft;.

The Arms Conference will lose its most picturesque figure on Tuesday when Premier Bri and, of France, leaves for New York on his way back to France. Briand will depart, he said tonight, with a feeling that things have gone well. His big moment, he admitted, would come Monday, whe nhe addresses the delegates on his plet for France's maintenance of a large standing army. As to the naval and Far Eastern ques tions, which he has discussed with mem bers of the American delegation and in committee meetings, the French Premier was most optimistic. BUILDING CONTRACTS ORDERED CANCELLED London, Nov. 20. (Sunday). All con tracts for he building of battleships by Clyde Shipbuilding yards have been can celled, according to The Sunday Ex press. W- L. Hichens, chairman of the great armament firm of Cammell, Laird and Company, at Sheffield, suggests that twenty-five or thirty million pounds will be saved if the four "Hood type" battleships proposed be scrapped and the funds diverted to double the govern ment's grant to finance foreign trade enterprises and the electrification and extension of railways.
