Washington, March alt lis an
nounced by the Interstate commerce
commission that an examination OF
the applications filed by various car.
rleTs Tor relief from the long and
short haul provision of the interstate
commerce law shows that In many
instances the relief may be gained by
a proper readjustment of passenger
tariffs.
The commission suggests that the
tariffs of individual lines be adjusted
that the joint tariffs be adjusted be-
tween defined passenger territories:
and that all joint tariffs between all
territories be adjusted.
In order to afford the carriers
ample time within which to make the
suggested readjustments, the com
mission issued today the following
orders:
/. That not later than July /, 1911.
all carriers must have on file with the
commission tariffs of passenger fares
between points upon their individual
lines which observe the rule of the
fourth section (the long and short
haul clause) except insofar as a de-
parture has been authorized by spe-
ciflc orders of the commission.
In all cases where the carrier in
tends to insist upon charging a fare
in disregard of the rule of the fourth
section. il must, by April I. 1911, file
a written statement calling attention
to its application on file and pointing
out the specific fares upon which II
will insist, or 1t may file a new appli-
cation covering only these fares.
2. Not later than December /, 1911,
all carriers must have on file joint
passenger tariffs which observe the
rule of the fourth section, except as
relieved by specific orders of the COM
mission. in case of all fares within
the several passenger territories as
above defined.
If carriers intend to insist upon
maintaining joint fares within these
territories which disregard the rule
of the fourth section, they must, on
or before May |, 1911, file with the
commission a statement referring to
their applications already on file and
pointing out the particular fares
which will be insisted upon, or file
new applications covering merely the
territory and fares in question.
3. On March I, 1912, all the pas
senger tariffs both joint and indi-
vldual, OF all carriers on file or in
effect must observe the rule of the
fourth section except as relief has
been granted By specific orders OF the
commission.
II any carriers intende to insist
upon maintaining joint fares in disre-
gard of the fourth section which are
not already covered In the preceding
paragraph. they must. by June !, 1911,
file with the commission a written
statement referring TO the appliea
ton already on file and pointing out

Washington, March 3.--The ques-
tion OF the necessity of sending United
States troops across the border line
into Mexico to protect the American
dixie. which Is being completed along
the Colorado river, will be determined
by the outcome Of negotiations now in
progress between the United States
and Mexico.
The two governments are exchang-
ing notes in regard to the protection
of the engineering work. but officials
are reticent as to whether a request
has been made for permission TO send
American soldiers into the Mexican
territory. II is understood that the
suggestion has been made that the
workers on the dixie be sworn In as
deputies to safeguard II from possible
depredations.
This is the second time that tho
matter has been taken up by the
United states and Mexico. ON the
former occasion, IL was decided that
the property should be protected by
Mexican guard and the United
States consented to the passage Of this
guard over short strip OF American
territory IN order TO reach the dixie.
Mexico ordered 200 soldiers, under
Colonel Vega, 10 the scene. hut they
were engaged by the revolutionists
and have never reached the dixie.
