Pasadena Expects to Have Largest
Pageant in Its History.
Pasadena, Cal, Dec. 2S-Plans for the
1911 tournament of roses are in such
shape that the prediction is safe that the
pageant on New Years Day will sur
pass anything in the city's history. For
the first time there is to be an evening
carnival as well as the parade of roses
in the morning, and field and track
events at Tournament Park in the after
noon.
The morning parade will be devoted, as
usual, to fower-decked vehicles, while
the feature of the afternoon events at
the park will be four-horse Roman char
lot races on a banked haIf-mile track.
In the evening a newly formed carnival
club Will put on a grotesque street pa
rade, which will be a complete surprise
TO every one save the members of the
parade committee.
1t is expected chat the morning floral
parade Will be two miles long and it will
take millions of individual blossoms TO
cover the vehicles completely

DISPUTE

is EMPOWERED.
RESULT CRATIFIES PRES.
President, Therefore, Promises to
Discontinue Injunction Proceed.
ings-Commerce Body Will
Adjust All Schedules.

Washington, d. G. A complete
agreement between the government
and the recently enjoined railways Of
the Western trunk lines association
was reached at a White House con-
ference which lasted for more than
four hours.
The railroads represented agreed to
withdraw all rate increases filed to be
effective on or after June1, and agreed
to file no more increases until the bill
in congress which gives the interstate
commerce commission power to in
vestigate and suspend increases that
are not justified, becomes a law and
goes into effect.
President Taft %thereupOn stated
that the administrations purpose in
bringing the injunction suit had been
accomplished and the suit would be
discontinued. The discOntinuance will
not be entered, however, until after
the new railroad law is signed.
The belief was expressed that all
of the other railroads of the country
which have filed increased rates or
have had such a plan under considera-
ton will abide by the agreement
reached with "a railroads named as
defendants in the recent suit.
Expected to Acquiesce.
There will be another conference at
the White House in which President
Brown of the New York Central rail
road; President McCrea of the Penn
sylvania and other officials represent
ing railroads in the Eastern and Cen
trail territory will participate. That
they will acquiesce in President Taft's
proposition and hold up the proposed
increases until after the law be-
m effective is practically taken for
granted here.
Every one connected with the con-
ference seemed gratified over the out
come. All that President Taft has
desired is that the interstate cOm-
merce commission should have author
ity to investigate increases in rates to
determine whether or not they are
justified by prevailing conditions and
are just to the shippers. This power
is to be conferred under the new law.
The railroads, on the other hand, it
is pointed out, are to be relieved Of
embarrassing litigation, are assured
of a square deal when their case
is presented to the interstate COM
merce commission and are free to re-
sumo the contracts for improvements
and extensions which they threatened
to cancel if the court proceedings con.
tinued.
The new railroad bill contains a
clause which gives it effect 60 days
after being signed by the president.
Must Act Immediately.
1t will be necessary to make the
provision as to the supervision Of
rates by the interstate commerce com.
mission Immediately effective and for
this reason, as President Taft indicat.
ed, it will be necessary to send the
bill to conference.
