STOCkMEN URGED TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THE new RATE LAW
President Mackenzie Tells Ma
tional Association Railroads
Must Be Curbed.
ADVISES DAMAGE SUITS
Shippers Should Be Prompt in Acting
When Slow Transit Results IN
Loss, He Says-Deplores
Car Shortage.
ADVISES DAMAGE SUITS

Denver, Colo, Jan. 24.-President
Mackenzie's annual address was he
main feature of the opening session of
the tenth annual convention of the
American Live Stock association, to-
day. He referred to previous griev-
ances the stockmen had against the
railroads., saying one of them, exorbit-
ant freight rates, had been corrected by
the passage of the rate bill, but the
only way shippers could derive beneii
from the measure is to carry their coIn-
plants of unjust rates to the Interstate
Commerce commission.
He told of the efforts to have the
law amended which requires that live
stock in transit be u%nloaded for feed
and rest every t~wenty-four hours, and
said only partial success was had.
Continuing, MIR. Mackenzie said:
During 1906 there have been more
complaints of poor service by the rail
roads than in any year in the past.
and unless something is done to COM
pei the roads to give "a reasonable speed
limit to perishable goods in transit,
such as live stock, it will create such
loss that ultimately stockmen will
have to abandon the business"
II would suggest that all shippers
who are members of this association
keep a record of the rate of speed by,
the railroads of all shipments of stock.
and wherever it is found loss has been
incurred through failure on h part
of the roads to make reasonable time,
suit be instituted for the damage sus-
tanned by the shipper.
There is another question which has
forced itself upon our notice during
the past year and that is the absolute!
failure of many railroads to supply
cars for shipment of stock upon proper
notice.
Wilson compIimented.
"A bill is pending in congress which
I believe will give us the necessary
relief. 1t penalties the railroads for
failure to supply cars, provides a pen
atty of $25 per car per day for every
day in which the roads fail in this re-
spect.'
Mr.. Mackenzie characterized the
question of the administration of the
forest reserves as one of the most i'm
portant on which the association
should tax action. The Cooperative
Live Stock Commission company or
ganized by the stock men to fight the
advance in commission rates is a sue
ress, Mackenzie declared. He was con-
fdent it would be lasting benefit TO
stock men and said he never expected
again to see a man in the agricultural
department who would personally pay
SO much attention to live stock inter-
ests of the west as does Secretary Will
Son.

DELAY IN DELIBERATIONS
POLITICAL QUESTIONS CONCERN
THE PEACE DELEGATES.
Report Submitted to Conference,
Which Does Not Find Unani.
nous Agreement. )

Political questions and considerations
have forged to the front in the delibera-
tons of the Central American peace con-
ference. and in consequence there has not
been as much progress in its work as was
generally supposed would be the case
when the gathering assembled here ten
days ago. A report was submitted yes
terday by the committee Of five. made up
of one delegate from each of the different
states, on the proposition submitted some
days ago for basis Of agreement on the
terms of which a peace treaty might be
concluded. No official statement Is forth
coming as to the character of the report.
but it is known that a minority faction
found itself unable to agree to all the
conclusions reached by the Majority.
Considerable discussion was INDUCED In
by the various delegates following the
submission of the report and the result
of the debate was the appointment OF
another committee of three members.
whose duty it will be to draft basis or
propositions for final agreement.
The, announcement that President Ze-
laya of Nicaragua had offered to resign
his position If it could be followed by
general union of all the Central American
states caused a great deal OF interest
among the delegates.
The Costa Rican delegates are manifest
ing great deal of interest in the COM
pletion of the Central American link OF
the proposed intercontinental railroad.
which has received the Endorsements OF
Pan-American conferences. At yester-
days meeting Senior Calvo, the minister
from Costa RIGA, read paper bearing on
the general progress that has been made.
following which a committee was ap-
pointed to consider the question generally
with view to submitting any observa-
lions that may be deemed pertinent in
connection with the project.

ROME. November 23.-The pope signed
decree yesterday recognizing the da-
tary, an ecclesiastical department dealing
with grants, dispensations and the regis
tratlon Of church documents. and the pen
itentiary, which settles questions of con-
science, absolutions and confession. The
reorganization is expected to expedite the

there have been complaints both from

controversies, in particular, are transfer
