U. s. Courl Declares Constitutional Long,
 Short Haul Cause
Special from United Press.) !

I
 Washington, Nov. 14-The constf- ,tutionality of the long and short haul clause of the act of February 4, 1887 and as amended June IS, 1910, was established today, in a decision of the United States Commerce Court. The written decision of the court in the Spokane rate case, made public today, says in part:
 Insofar as the Interstate Com merce Commission attempts to deter mine the relation of long and short haul rates, irrespective of absolute rates it goes beyond the authority in- vested in 1t, as it is not within the power of the commission to say that 100 per cent, 107 per cent. or any given percentage of an unknown less than reasonable rate to the coast is necessarily a maximum rate and non discriminatory"
 Though the decision enjoined the reduction in rates in inter-mountain cities, as ordered by the Interstate Connmerce Commission, the comfnis- sion found much satisfaction in the unfolding of the long and short haul clause. In. this manner, the specific case was set back but the principle established was looked upon by some experts here, today, as favorable for the inter-m ountain cities in respect to the final issue in the case.
 The court issued an injunction for bidding the enforcement of the In- terstate Commerce Commissions or der reducing the inter-mountain rates, pending the final determina- ton of the case."

(special from United Press, :,

New York, Nov. 1.-The threat made by William H. Ashton, head of the striking street cleaners union, that he New York called out to carry on the war against Mayor Gaynor, is meet ing with determined opposition among the teamsters today.
 Their position, determined late to- day, was at a meeting of teamsters, chauffeurs and helpers international union, and there are threats among the men that, if Ashton attempts to put through his program, it may re- suit in his deposition as a leader.
 Mayor Gaynor's refusal yesterday to treat with the strikers through Ash ton, brought out the climax in the strike situation, and today it is said that the strikers will be unable to win unless they secure the support of the teamSters
 Many of the latter take a determin- ed stand against the sympathetic strike, on the ground that the street cleaners were not justified in walking out. The cold weather is said to have caused many of the strikers to desire to return to work.
 Mayor Gaynor and Commissioner Edwards, of the street cleaning de-
 
 gram of sending out as many men as can be hired, under strong police pro- tection.. Greater progress in cleaning up the piles of garbage that litter the streets was made today than any day since the strike began.
 Edwards insisted that today would show greater efficiency in his force as the strong police protection of the last few days has encouraged the strike breakers, who are showing more read mess to face the crowds in the streets.
 According to the city authorities, upwards of 2,000 men are at work to- day.

PLAN JOINT ATTACK.
China's Strongest Warships and Land Forces, Under Rebels, Will Now
 Make Assault on Nankin X

Z -r H
 Shanghai, Nov. Awhile Yuan Sh Kai, the last hope of the Manchu ad' ministration in China. is reporting tc a committee of the national assembly that the conditions throughout the empire evidently make the Manchu 3 lost cause, revo1utionaries here, today prepared to send the 13 vessels of the imperial fleet, which joined them, yes terday, against the government forces at Nanlxin.
 With the revolutionary, flags flying from their tops, the warships steamed up the river past the berths occupied by the foreign vessels, none of which acknowledged the salutes of the reb- els. I8
 1t is said the officers of the vessels will be retained in command by the revolutionary leaders. It seems im- possible that Nankin, largest city on the Yangtse river still il possession of the government, will be able to withstand the assault of the warships, the strongest in the Chinese navy
 The rebels plans a joint attack on Nankin by the waships and the land forces.
 Meagre advices from interior points indicate that outlawry is spreading and that crime is unchecked. Even in, the streets of the larger cities the Inhabitants, supposedly under the pro- CGcI1On OF luG iCcANCi S are in terror River pirates, coming from no one knows where. are infest- ing all the harbors. Thousands o1 them openly banded together, are at- tacking the police and soldiers. They are burning villages and murderins the inhabitants, after carrying away everything of value. It is believed here that the government will be forced to capitulate to the rebels with in a very few days because of it's lack of funds. The Pekin authorities have been unable to collect revenues from any provincial capital.
 Reports from Chang Chow Flu il southern China, which went over to the rebels. yesterday, say that the city is overrun with thieves. 1t sur- rendered without fighting, as most o1 the inhabitants were in sympathy with the revolution. All buildings have been footed by the invading sol diers and the officers seem unable to enforce discipline. The terror of the people, who were too frightened to protect their possessions, alone pre- vented massacre.
