The new system of interstate express rates on a scale 10 per cent lower than those formerly prevailing became effective today uu lcr orders issued by the interstate commerce commission. On the same basis of decrease in rates the states of Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Penn sylvania. Delaware, West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, New Jersey, Illinois and Louisiana are putting into force a new system in intrastate express business. The r.e?- interstate rates are based upon a block system, the country be ig divided into 826 blocks formed by intersections of the meridians of lon g'itude and parallels of latitude. Th first and second class charges are bsved upon rates per 100 pounds. Third clarss rates are 1 cent for each two ounces. not to exceed first class rates. Another important feature of the now express rate ay stem is that every express office is able to determine a rate to every other office in the coun try. A new uniform express receipt also became effective today. Hereto fore each company used a separate form. FORESTER OPPOSES INGREASE FREIGHT IN RITES By Associated Press. Washington, Feb. 2. Opposing the f per cent increase in freight rates ivought by . eastern railroads, J. C.

Divers from the Norfolk wrecking steamer i. J. Merrilt went down iu a choppy sea to day to search for bodies of those who perished when the ill-fated Old Do minion liner Monroe yank off iiiin coast early Friday morning following collision in a dense fog with the Mer chants and Miners' Transportation Company's steamer Nantucket. Wire less rejorts from the Merritt received this forenoon said that though diligent search had been made no bodies had come to the surface of the water and the only hope now seemed to be in I the finding of bodies pinioned in the riu& lsiana. Tne oltl lominiou Steamship Corn- pany repeated its instructions to " vnims uuai u ul me ivieirut to spare no eflort in their search for the bodies of the missing. The com pany officials have hope that search of the wreck by divers will result in the finding of a number of the'bodies. The weather at sea today was clear but a stiff breeze resulting in a choppy sea made the work of the divers quite difficult. The divers also have to pro ceed with great care because of the great depth to which they have had to go in making the search for the bodies of the missing. The exact location of the wreck of the Monroe is 24 miles southwest, one quarter south of Winter Quarter light ship. A portion of the Monroe's mast is projecting above water. Two divers from the wrecking steamer Merritt are making search in the wreck of the Monroe for the missing. If bodies are found they will be brought to the surface at once and placed aboard of the Merritt. A so cial steamer will be sent out to bring tnese in while the divers continue their work from the Merritt. The testimony taken jy the United States local inspectors of steam ves sels at the investigation conducted bv them of the sinking of the steamer Monroe by the -steamer Nantucket early last Friday morning; is now in the hands of the supervising inspec tor general at Washington. The local inspectors announce they w ill have nothing to give out on the subject and that decision will be made public at Washington. The record was carried to Washington Saturday night by R. E. Tapley, local inspector, who re turned today. The contentions by the respective ships following the Nantucket-Monroe collision are almost identical with those growing out of the sinking of the American steamer Julia lAickenbach by the British steamship Indrakuala in Chesapeake Bay in January, I9j:j, when 17 lives were lost, including those of the captain of the Luc-ken bach and his wife, who was aboard at the time. It was contended by the master of the Indrakuala, which rammed and sank the Luckenbach in a fog, that the Luckenbach was seeking to cross the bow of the Indrakuala when the col lision occurred, it is now contended by Captain Berry of the Nantucket that the Monroe was seeking to cross the bow of the Nantucket, which resulted in the collision. Captain Johnson of the Monroe contends that th - collision was due to the negligence of the Nan tucket. Libel claims totalling $250,000 and growing out of the Indrakuala Luckeu bach collision were heard before Fed eral Judge Edmund Waddill here a week ago. The court reserved decision. The government steamboat investi gation, of the Indrakuala-Luckenbach collision completely exonerated the Indrakuala. Capt. Johnson Talks. New York. Feb. 2. Cap t. E. E. Johnson of the Old Dominion iiner Monroe, arrived here today and was shown dispatches quoting Capt. Ber ry , of the Nantucket, saying the Mon roe at the time of the collisioa was attempting to pass the Nantucket starboard to starboard, contrary to maritime regulations. "I suppose Capt. Berry's trying to save his ticket," said Johnson. "We were at a standstill - when the Nan tucket hit us. "I was the last man to leave the "Monroe, and I stepped directly from the deck into a lifeboat, as the port rail was then beneateh the water. We rowed around for some time and picked np several persons." The steamer Nantucket having left Newport News for Baltimore before the United States marishall 'was able to serve process papers making ef fective the libel action brought in the federal court by Capt. E. E. John son, master ot tne uia uominion liner Monroe, claiming on behalf of Iris, company -$1,000,000 damages from the' loss of" the Monroe, the Old Do minion Company today began new proceedings to attach other floating property of the Merchants and Min ers' Transportation Company in this jurisdiction. As the new proceedings were about to be filed counsel for the- Merchants and Miners' agreed to accept service and the aroginal in rem proceedings stand. The Mer chants and Miners' will seek to hold liability to the value of the Nan tucket which is about $350,000. There may ateo be cross libel proceedings by Capt. Berry, master of the Nan tucket, on Jeha)f of the Merchants and Miners. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 . . . I o 1 FOR BODIES LOST IN (ViONROE WRECK o t e H O 7 C, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRURARY 2, 1914.
