James Bryce, British ambassador to
the United States since 1907, may quit
his post. He will shortly return to
England and ii is not expected that
he will return. For three months it
has been whispered in diplomatic cir
cJes that Mr.. Bryce was to be pro-
NOTED to the office Of the foreign min
lister to supeead Earl GREY.
Ambassador Bryce stands pre- en-
inent among dfplomsttsts and author
tiles on international law. He is the
writer of many books dealing with
history and government. Probably his
most famous work is the American

thoritative work ever written on

ACTUAL WEIGHTS
Interstate Commerce Commission Laws
Down Rule There Must be No Esti-
mated Weights.
BY Assoclated Prena.

Washington, May 3-The interstate
commerce commission today decided
that freight charges must be based
upon actual weights Of shipments and
not upon arbitrary estimated weights.
On estimated weights Of shipments
Of oil, the Missouri Pacific and other
roads operating in st. Louis collected
switching charges from the Standard
oil Company which the commission
holds to be unreasonable. The rail-
ways were ordered to refund the diff
ference between the charges on the
arbitrary weights and those on the ac-
tual weights.
