HEAR CASE
ON FRIDAY
-
Railroad Commission to
Decide Rate on
Crossties
NO AMlCABLE AGREEMENT
NO AMlCABLE AGREEMENT
Railroads and crosstie Merchants
Were Unable to Settle Advance
in Rates and the Case Goes
Back to Commission.

The differences existing between
the crosstie dealers and the different
| railroads, relative to the increase in
rates, has been carried back to the
Georgia railroad commission, all eff
forts looking to an amicable agree,
ment having failed, and the case will
be taken up and decision probably
| rendered Friday
This case is well known to News
| readers, having been told in these col
umns several times.
The railroads, some two months ago,
notified the crosstie merchants that
after July 1 they would advance the
rate on crossties to that charged on
lumber, which is big increase. The
crosstie merchants strongly objected
to the increase and the case was car
ried to the railroad commission and
meeting arranged. At this meeting
1t was decided to call another meeting
on August 1 to be held in this city.
Ihls meeting was also held and repre-
sentatives of the crosstie dealers and
Of the several railroads were pres
ent, but anything but harmony exist
ed, and no agreement was reached.
The railroads announced that they
would be compelled to advance the
rate ON September l, and the matter
was left unsettled
The crosstie people still claim that
it is utterly impossible for them to
pay the same rate on crossties that
is charged on lumber. and the case
was returned to the railroad commits
sion for final settlement.
At the meeting Friday Brunswick
will probably send up delegation OF
crosstie people, attorneys, etc, and
the final outcome is being watched
with much interest.
To advance the rate on crossties to
that charged on lumDer means a Sc
iious ulo" W lne CToSStle industry ana,
as has been stated by the merchants, it
will greatly interfere with the busi-
ness, as it is Impossible to pay the
high rate for the transportation Oh
ties.
However, the case will be fully
aired before the commission Friday.
and a final answer will be handed

GETTING ARMY READY
That's What the War Department
Is Doing.
Are Not Preparing for War-That Is, We
Do Not Expect u Fight at Once.
Great Activity Explained.

Washington, Feb. 2.-"The army is
getting ready for the defense of the
United States at all times 1t is not
preparing for war with anybody. We
are doing the things now that we
should have done many years ago.
The difference in the situation in this
country and in Europe is that we are
never prepared for war, while Great
Britain and Germany and Italy are al
ways on war basis. We will be on a
war basis, too, soon."
A prominent army official said this
today in explaining the great activity
that prevails in all the army posts and
coast artillery stations and in all the
gun shops and arsenals. 1t is admit
ted that the activity could not be
much greater If we expected war with
some European power But it is de-
clared that this is not done because of
the tension over Venezuela.
Orders have been given to the arm
ory at Springfield to rush 100 900 new
krag rifles to the Grse1als Of the coun-
try. These are for the arming of the
first troops that will be mustered into
the national reserve provided for by
the militia bill. This law will give
the regular army reserve of $50 900
men.
1t is the aim of Secretary Root to
have this reserve organized within
few months so that different divisions,
armed and equipped exactly as the
regulars are, can go in the encamp-
ments with the regulars and become
disciplined according to the regular
army tactics To pay the expense of
this work and pay the members of the l
national reserve for their time and
service during the maneuvers, an
amendment was offered to the army
appropriation bill today appropriating
$2,00O,000. simultaneously with this
Secretary Root issued an order, Great
ing new division of the adjutant-gen.
erals department to be known as the
Militia Division" The head of this
will be Maj JAMES Parker.
1t is admitted that as great activity
at all navy yards and the |
gun and ammunition shops of the navy |
as has been noted in the army every !
body admits that if trouble should |
come the activity which has been 60
ing on for several weeks will have
proved itself doubly good thing

Tucson, Ariz., Feb. Sword has
just reached here that the Twelfth
battalion of the Mexican regulars was
almost annihilated in a battle with
the Yaquis, whom they were pursuing
after having defeated them in fight
at San Marcial.
The regulars were caught in trap,
and their retreat was cut off by a Sec
ond band of whose existence they
knew nothing. There were 500 SOL
diers in the battalion, and if the re-
port of the survivors, of the fight who
reached San Marcial is true great
many Of that number were killed. The
reports, however, are believed to be
exaggerated.
: According to last previous account,
the regulars were in critical condi.
ton, and had lost a large number. al
though the casualties are not known.
The Twelfth battalion has been sta.
toned for some time at Potam Rio
