ISSUES AN ORDER
On SHIPMENTS
of POULTRY
New Regulation Governs
Shipments to New Mexico
and Arizona Points.

Washington, D. O., July 10.-In an
order just issued. the interstate commerce
commission attempts to stop practices
regarding the shipment of dressed poul-
try from Kansas points to places in New
Mexico, Arizona and Colorado, which, it
is alleged, in the past have been grossly
abused
The order provides that, effective
September l. shipments of dressed poul-
try by express from points in Kansas
out of the state must be billed when
packed in ice at 25 percent less than
the gross weight of the package, but this
need not be done when the net weight
of the poultry, according TO the ship
per's figures, plus the weight of the
container, exceeds the result after %
percent is taken from the gross weight.
Certain shippers, it devolved at the
hearing. had been shipping poultry sup
posed to be iced, but which in reality
contained so little ice that it had to be
reiced by the carrier before it arrived
at its destination. This it was pointed
out allowed the shipper to ship poultry
free, bv substituting it for ice, he being
allowed rs percent of the gross weight
for ice The commission changed it so
the carrier need only take advantage
of the 25 percent ice limit when the ice
is actually there, otherwise the shipment
is billed at the net weight of the poul-
try, plus the container. The case was
brought by the board of railroad com
missioners of Kansas against the Adams
Express company, the Pacific Express
company, the Wells Fargo Express COM
panv and the United States Express
company.
Files Potato Complaint.
A complaint has been filed with the
interstate commerce commission by AL
bert Miller, of Chicago, against the rate
on potatoes to west Texas. Besides
number of roads in the middle west, he
also makes the Texas & Pacific and the

to his complaint. He alleges that the
rate of 78 lie cents to Snyder is IN
by comparison the plaintiff
shows that q rate of 70 cents is fair

Mexican Justice Takes a
Queer Turn at Mormon
Colony of Colonia Juarez.

Colonis Dnblan, Mex, July 10.-The
little Mexican presidente Of Colonia
Juarez is in jail at Casas Grandes
AS he came in on the train from Chi
huahua. he was arrested at Nueva
Casas Grandes. It was several days
before the colony people knew what
had become of him, and then the cause
Of his imprisonment was not forth
coming.
II appears that there has been a
great deal Of stealing going on In and
about Coionfa Juarez, and the presi-
dente openly declared that he intended
TO break up all thieving gangs and
bring to justice ali law breakers,
whether they be Americans or Mexi-
cans. Following this idea great
number of offenders have been pun
ished for the smaller crimes. The
other day some men were arrested
charged with stealing cattle and TAX
en- to Casas Grandes and placed in
jail. but as soon as the presidente's
back was turned, the supposed thieves
were turned loose. When he returned
TO Juarez the cattle were being gath
cred up. but when he saw the ar
rested men return he said, that since
the thieves were loose there was no
use to hold the cattle so they were
not corraled. He then took the train
for Chihuahua to interview the gov
ernor and to find out just what kind Of
justice they wanted administered GOWN
here, so as has been said when he re-
turned he was thrown into jail He is
now charged with turning stolen cattle
loose and with leaving his office with
out permission.
The Juarez people are carrying him
food and trying to provide for his
bodily comfort. He is cheerful and
expresses confidence in his government.
He says those who put him in jail are
aiding their own downfall. for the law
must be upheld.
Armed Socialists Near Pearson.

Renew Box Canyon.
One of the livest questions in Arizona,
and one which ranks second to state
hood in Importance is the question of
the right of way through the Box can
yOn near San Carlos, Ariz This agi-
tation started in very spectacular race
for possession of the only available
right of way through this canyon sew
eral years ago, the Santa Fe and the
Southern Pacific furnishing the contend
ing parties. The Southern Pacific finally
won out BY purchasing the rights of
the Santa Fe. In the meantime the re-
clamation service in looking over avail
able damsites hit upon this same Box
canyon as a good site for a dam from
which to irrigate the lower ella for
many miles. This was called a sec
ondary project, but after about $4,000
had been expended, the project as far
as the reclamation service was con-
cerned, was abandoned. Private parties,
however. took the matter up, and the
proposition to build dam there to irri-
gate the valley below again became a
i've one. However, the Southern Pa
cific still claimed the right of way
through the canyon, and here the two
interests FLASHED. The fight was waged
IN Arizona for a time, and later trans
TERED to Washington, where it is hung
UP pending decision by the interior
department.
The secretary of Arizona has written
the secretary of the interior requesting
official notification of the fact that
Arizona has not been admitted as
state yet. The secretary of Arizona
probably knew unofficially. but the
official information was necessary be-
cause of Nan issue of school bonds which
are to be floated by Mariccpa county.
