LUMBER RATE HEARING

WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-Rate
cases involving larger financial inter
ests than ever heretofore brought to
the attention of the interstate COM
meree commission now are being
heard by the commission. While only
four complaints are included directly
in the present hearing, several others
are dependent upon the findings In
the pending cases.
The history of the cases heretofore
has been written. In brief Il is that
the railroad lines OF the west and
northwest determined several months
ago TO advance their rates on manu-
featured lumber from northwest Pa
cifie points-Oregon. Washington
and Montana-to the east and south.
The rates proposed were made effect
i've on November IA of this year In
the regular way these rates were III
ed with the interstate commerce COM
mission. They showed an increase
of from TO 10 cents a hundred
pounds on lumber shipped from
northwest Pacific points to eastern
points, and a much larger increase

to San Francisco bay points.
The proposed rates the shippers
declared to be unjust, unreasonable,
discriminatory and prOhibitiye.
They asserted that II these advances
in rates were put into effect they
would have to go out of business.
II developed today that many mills

Great Mexican Festival Celebrated
Today.
CITY OF MEXICO, Dec. 12.-For
the 374th time the feast of the vir-
gin of Guadalupe. the greatest festi-
val in the Mexican religious calen-
day, was celebrated here today
Special excursions on all railroads
brought thousands of pious pilgrims
from all parts of the republic, and it
is estimated that before the day is
over not less than $4,000 devotees
will have paid visits to the shrine of
the virgin in the famous church at
the villa de Guadalupe, just outside
the city. In every city throughout
the country, and in all the villages
and rural communities, similar de-
votions will be paid to the memory
of Mexico's patron saint. Since the
passage of the reform laws marking
the absolute separation of church and
state in Mexico, the president and the
government officials no longer take
any part in the celebration, but it's
observance is none the less enthusiasts
tic on the rart of the populace.
For days preparations for the fes-
tival have been going on ana as us

his trial in October Walton pleaded

have the time set for his execution
shortened, saying that he desired to
have the little matter settled as soon
as possible. The murderer grinne1

brutality, and appeared to glory in
his crimes. He has since maintained
his defiant attitude, but it is thought
that he will break down when
