ASSERTS REBATES
HAVE DISAPPEARED
MEMBER REPLIES TO CHARGE
AGAINST COMMISSION
Judson C. Clements Makes Answer to
Statement That No Effort Was
Made to Enforce the
Law
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Judson G..
Clements, member of the interstate
commerce commission, replying before
the house committee on interstate and
which he said had been made to the
effect that the committee had not en-
deavored to enforce the provisions OF
the law, said that 1t was strange that
this should be said by people who have
violated the law.
He called attention to the tnvestiga-
ton instituted by the commission in
the matter of grain rates and packing
house products and the injunction pro-
ceedings which resulted against the
carriers.
The result had been, he said, that
the giving of rebates and deviation
from published rates in the form Of re-
bates practically had disappeared. He
spoke of the dificulties experienced by
the commission in obtaining testimony
because of the refusal OF witnesses to
testify on the ground TO do so would

Attention was called to the action Of
the commission in connection with the
securities and other cases to show what
had been accomplished through the eff
forts of the commission. He desired
to repel the insinuations OF those who
sought to impugn the commission. The
situation between the house committee,
Mr.. Clements said, was vindicatlon
of the desire Of the commission to fix
q reasonable rate.
Replying to Mr.. Hepburn. Mr.. Glenn
ents said the considerations in deter
mining a reasonable rate were bulk as
compared with the rate. length OF haul
a comparison with other rates and
value OF the commodity. There was
no mathematical method by which a
rate could be worked out, he added
All that could be done was a fair and
reasonable approximation. The fixing
of a rate he believed to be a legislative
function.

LONDON, Jan: 25.-The belief In
financial and other we'll informed
circles that the crisis in Russia
will soon compel even the grand ducal
regime to seek peace withrJapan grows
stronger. The logic OF the SITUATION
points in this direction, as was indi-
Gated in last nights dispatches on this
subject, which were based on views oil
high financial authorities.
Correspondent is now able to adu
that the opinion quoted was based upon
definite information upon which hislln
formants place reliance 1t may even
be said that those at present controi-
ling Russia's policy were practically
convinced of the necessity for bringing
war to a speedy close before the dis
astrous events of the current week
made such a course absolutely impera-
tive.
1t is hardly to be expected that peace
negotiations will be opened tomorrow
or next week. Russia will probably
make an effort to restore a semblapce
of order before praying Tor peace.
On the other hand, there are those
who believe the authorities secretly
fomented the present uprising in order
to present TO the world spectacle of
virtual civil war. Then naughty Rus
sia could say to the enemy whom she
still pretends TO despise;
1--WE are compelled to devote our en-
tire energies to the solution of grave
domestic problems. Take Manchuria
il other powers will let you have it. II

Those holding this view even go SO
far as TO suggest that Father Gopon
was the agent provocature and express
fear that the grand ducal cabal headed
by Vladimir will depose the czar and
substitute one of their own number.
Who knows, they ask, whether this has
not already been done?

NO GOLD SPIKE
IN LAST RAIL
SALT LAKE TO De COMPLETED
WITHIN SIX DAYS
CELEBRATION is POSTPONED
No Ceremonies viii Mark the join
Ing of the Two Lines of Steel
Across the Great
Desert

When Salt Lake City and Los An
geles are actually connected by the
rails of the San Pedro, Los Angeles
& Salt Lake railroad within the next
six days there will be no last spike of
gold driven and no speeches by the
prominent men of the terminal cities
and the owners of the road.
ON the contrary, provided rain or
snow does not interfere with the work,
by next Thursday some section man
will have driven plain iron spike into
o. rough cross tie and to all practical
purposes the Salt Lake road will be
represented by two lines of seventy
five-pound steel rails from terminal to
terminal.
This does not mean that the road
will be ready for business; that will
not follow for perhaps sixty days, but
it will be possible for construction
trains to be run and these will be kept
busy along hundreds of miles of right
of way in putting on the finishing
touches.
Yesterday there vet remained five
miles of track to be laid at a point a
few miles east of the California state
line.
Grading in Hills
For the past ten days no track has
been put down, as the time has been
devoted to establishing a grade among
the hills. This was practically COM
pleted Tuesday night and the work of
the track layers, by a report received
at the Los Angeles offices of the COM
pany, was to have recommended yes
terday morning.
When the gap is bridged at this point
force will be sent to place twenty
five miles west of Las Vegas, Here
there are twelve miles of temporary
track in use which must be torn up
and permanent track put In through
the hills where grading has been going
on for some time.
1t is the construction work at this
point which will delay the actual OPEN
ing of the Salt Lake road and when the
official opening does take place the
golden spike will probably be driven
somewhere within this distance.
1t was reported that when the actual
last rail was put in place to connect
Salt Lake and Los Angeles Senator
Clark intended to be present, but as
he is now in New York city this will
hardly be possible.
When the official opening takes place
there will be suitable exercises in which
the Los Angeles chamber of commerce,
the Commercial association of Salt
Lake City and some Of the owners OF
the road will take part but no definite
plans have as vet been formed

HOLD UP PROPRIETOR WHILE
GUESTS ARE EATING
ELUDE EFFORTS AT PURSUIT
Two Bandits Enter a Main Street
n Restaurant With Drawn Pistols,
Cover Proprietor and Attaches
and Secure 5000

Two masked men successfully
robbed the Beaumont cafe at the cor
ner of Main and Fifth streets, about
70 o'clock last night, securing about
5000 out of the cash register.
The robbers, retreating, fired shots
to intimidate the cafe attaches, and
made their escape.
G. Vieille, proprietor Of the cafe,
was among those who encountered the
holdup men.
The robbery was no plain, ordinary
affair. 1t was fanciful and frilled.
The men rushed into the place with
almost the noise of trumpets. They
entered from the Main street door.
Bursting into the office of the cafe
with drawn revolvers, they took
Vieille, Gus Kener, Paul Branch and
a Japanese by surprise. Vieille was
looking up a telephone number.
Hands up! Stand back there!" the
masked men commanded. The walters
and proprietor obeyed. They were
then compelled to huddle together be-
hind the counter with their hands ele-
waited. One of the robbers then took
the money out of the cash register,
about 5000. The four men were then
marched up stairs and into a room.
Search en- said one of the rob-
bers, pitching his voice into a false
key. Vieille was searched. His watch
was taken.
Asks for His Watch
eff you don't mind" said Vieille, 'I'd
like to keep that watch" At the same
time he had lot of silver money in
his back pocket.
1--WE don't want no Watches" said
the same gruff, disguised voice. The
watch was thrown on table. The
men were searched. Then the rob-
bers made an effort to lock them IN
the room and rushed down the steps.
The cafe was filled with people. In
the meantime Kerner, one of the wait
ers. jumped from the second-story
window and started in pursuit of the
men. One of them fired two shots to
check him.
Kerner got into an automobile and
attempted to follow the men, but with
out success.
vielle described the men as of me-
dunn height. He could not see their
features.
The firing of the pistol alarmed the
diners in the cafe and some of them
fled. The ladies were thoroughly
frightened.

- FruIt Putting

The fine quality of the California
fruit has been of the greatest import
ance in finding market for the large
supply which has been sent eastward,
but with the warm weather of the last
week the oranges have commenced to
puff.
Added to this, a shipper who came iii
last night from tour OF the orange
belt, says that thrip has made its APP
pearance and is much more prevalent
than at this time last year. He also
says that the parasite is present in
districts where it was not prevalent last
year. The work Of the parasite Il
hard to distinguish by the packers but
when 1t reaches the market the brown
and black blemishes of the skin are
plainly evident and detract from the
selling qualities of the fruit.
Three or four days of cool weather
at this time would be of inestimable
value to California growers in the re-
tarding of the ripening process, which
would serve as a damper on fruit
shipments and give the market suffi-
cient time to right itself.

GRAVE PROBLEM
CITRUS FRUITS RlPEN FAST
WITH NO MARKET
BLIzzARDS STOP SALES EAST
Oranges Remain Piled in Eastern
Warehouses, While Warm Wealth.
er Here Makes Heavy Ship
ments Imperative

A much reduced consumption of
citrus fruits throughout the east on
account of excessively cold weather and
the fast ripening of the oranges
throughout the citrus fruit belt has re-
suited in what is practically a tenn
porary decentralization of the orange
business.
Yesterday, because of the blizzards
that were raging throughout the east
ern states, no citrus fruits were Of
fered in the auction markets, and re-
mained stored in cars and warehouses.
| To stimulate consumption the fruit
now in the east is being sold at almost
any price to get rid of it.
Meanwhile the hot weather of the
past few days, together with the rains,
has rlpened the fruit fast and much of
it has already been shipped eastward
and much more must follow.
Yesterday $50 cars were consigned to
eastern markets with little hope of re-
ceiving prices that will be at all sat-
isfactory. Saturday and Sunday 210
cars were started eastward. Unless
there should be two or three days of
cold weather to retard the ripening
process growers will be forced to send
their fruit east, running the chance Of
making little profit or else see it rot
on the trees.

Rushed to Market

The favorable market which prevailed
at the opening Of the year, as expected
by the larger shippers, brought an over
whelning desire on the part of the
growers to get their fruit eastward in
time to take advantage of the high
prices. AS a result, by the twentieth
of the month, the market was over
loaded and even if the adverse climatic
conditions had not set in in the east,
the supply would have been larger
than the demand. Added to the adverse
conditions of sap market over-supplied
under normal conditions. there is now
the cold weather to be bargained with.
In the seaboard markets, the influx
of Florida oranges during the past
three weeks has been large and has
cut a great figure in the sale of the
California product. West of Chicago,
however, Pacific coast oranges have
practically monopoly of the market.
Up untii last Monday night 571s cars
of citrus fruit had been shipped east
ward during the present season, as
opposed to 5223 cars for the same per-
iod last year. This is an excess of
496 cars for this season.
Last year when 522S cars of fruit
had been shipped, shippers then
thought the supply in excess Of the de-
