Washington, December H.-An adminis- trative ruling issued today by the in- terstate commerce commission holds that employees of produce companies must pay full fare in travelling to points on the car riers' lines where they expect to secure consgnments and become caretakers, and that the limitation of the rates to ship ments handled by steam power as against those handled by electric power Is un- lawful and must be eliminated from the tariff.

SHIP MAY CARRY
 CARGO OF ARMS
Honduran Consul at New Orleans Warns Government To Watch
 Out For Ship.

New Orleans, December 27-A notice to watch for arms, reported as shipped on the steamer Alps to some Central Amer ican port yet unknown, was today cabled to President Davila of Honduras by the Honduran consul here.
 The Alps, according to her clearance papers on file here, carries a ship load of groceries consigned to the Honduran gov- ernment at Puerto Cortez. The Honduran consul say that the clearance papers are misleading and that he cannot find that the Alps cargo was intended for his gov- ernment.
 Nicaragua has been generally assigned as the destination of the Alps, because of the fact that William Adler. member of the wholesale grocery firm of A. Adler

aggregation. The locals have trained ex- ceedingly hard this week, and there is no doubt but that the opposition to the big men from the east will be strenuous.
 The game will partake of the nature of a social event, too A bevy of Birming- ham girls will be sponsors and maids for the two belligerent teams, and the game will be attended by hundreds of others. After the game, there will be dancing until a late hour.
 This visit will be the second made by Yale to Birmingham In recent years. On the other visit. as is well remembered in Birmingham, the Athletic club team de- feated the customers in a clear-cut scrim- mage. Birmingham, in fact was the only team which defeated Yale on that trip embracing many games. Yale comes de- termined to wipe out that beating. and Birmingham, remembering that triumph, Is planning to retain its brilliant honors.

& Co.,, shipping the groceries, is finan- cially interested with President Zelaya of Nicaragua in several Central American business enterprises. Despite the rumor that the Alps carried arms the Honduran consul attached no particular significance to the reported Nicaraguan destination of the steamer. Shipments of arms from here to all Central American countries are common occurrences.
 Several sugar planters today took legal steps to secure possession of large con- signment of sugar which they had shipped to refineries through the agency of A. Adler & Co., In this the planters were aided by the receivers who took charge of the grocery firm yesterday.
