TIME IS EXTENDED.
Railroad Will Continue to Collect
Switching Charges Complained OF.

Washington, Dec. 27.-By an order of
the interstate commerce commission
announced today the switching charges
exacted by the railroads in San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles, Cal, will con-
tinue in effect until March 1, 1911, at
least. These exactions aggregate many
thousand dollars annually.
About year ago the Associated job
bers of Los Angeles and the Pacific
Coast Jobbers' and Manufacturers as
sociation of San Francisco filed COM
plants with the commission against
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe and
the Southern Pacific, alleging that the
switching charges of $3.50 a car as
sessed by the defendant lines on ship
pers for the placing of cars on sidings
or spurs was unreasonable and dis
criminatory.
The commission, after full hearing,
ordered the discontinuance of the
charge by January, 1910. Subsequently
proceedings We're instituted in the
courts by the defendants to annul the
order of the commission. ThereupoE
the commission, pending a decision i'll
the courts, extended the effective date
of its order to January 1, 1911. AS the
case has not been decided the commits
sion today announced a further ex-
tension of it's order until March 1.
Meantime the switching charges are
being exacted by the railroads. If the
commissions order eventually should
be sustained by the courts, the shippers
will have cause for asking reparation
in a large sum from the defendant
lines

investigating in the region called big
Bend" across the border from Texas,
south of Maria and Alpine, says the

says the insurgents have old brass
cannons to command these passes and
are making their own shells at an old
smelter. He declares they are SNUG
Cling arms from Texas, equipping
men and sending them to join the in
surgents in the Sierra Madre region
west of Chihuahua
The insurgents, he says, expect the
cold weather in the high altitude of
the Sierra Madre district to kill off
the Mexican soldiers, who are accus-
toned only to the hot climates.
Nicaner Grieger, foreman of En-
rique Creel's ranch, has been branded
with the range brand and the entire
ranch looted. The insurgents say it
was done by ranch employees who
were incensed at him.
