CANCEL INCREASE
IN RATE COMING
INTO WASHINGTON
Interstate Commerce Com
missioners Decline to AL
low Advanced Prices.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
today Cancelled the proposed increased
rates on fruit products from shipping
points on the Western Maryland rail-
road to Washington. New York, and
other Eastern cities.
The Western Maryland submitted a
new rate schedule on fruits to the COM
mission, which would materially in
crease the rates. This increase was
protested by the shippers and by the
merchants Of this and other cities. On
this protest the increase was suspended
pending a hearing and an investigation.
Today's order finally cancels the in
crease, and the rates will remain un-
changed. Similar increases in rates to
points in the South and Southwest will
stand, with the approval Of the COM
mission, as no protest against them
was received.
The rates affected principally the
peach and apple orChardists between
Cumberland and Hagerstown, Md, one
OF the greatest fruit growing sections
of the United States.
The Western Maryland claimed that
the Increase was necessary to meet an
increase in the icing charges by the
Armour Refrigerator Car Line which
claimed a loss on the 1911 contract, and
refused to renew for 1912 without an in
crease. The proposed increase amounted
to 50 a car from Hagerstown. the near
est shipping point to Washington.

ORDERED
OUT OF COMMISSION
Shortage OF Funds in War De-
partment Necessitates the
Action.

Because Of a shortage in funds in
the War Department and the probability
of Congress not passing the army ap-
preparation bill before July 1, Gen.
Leonard Wood, chief of stan of the
army, yesterday ordered the four trans
ports, Meade, Sumner. Mcclellan, and
Fitzpatrick out of commission.
These vessels have been waiting at
Newport News for several weeks to
take an army of 5000 men to Cuba
should the necessity of Intervention
arise.
Some fear was expressed at the War
Department that the Cuban revolution
lists upon hearing of the depleted
finances of the military establishment
of the United States may decide to
push the revolt with greater vigor.
Dispatches from Havana, however, in
dicate that the uprising Is about to end
and that the federal forces under Gen
eral Monteagudo have begun to force
the insurrectos toward the coast. de-
cisive battle is expected in the province
of Oriente in a day or two.

DECIDED SLUMP IN
FISH PRICES HITS
DISTRICT MARKET
All Sorts of Sea Food Are
- Off From Last Weeks
q
,~ - Quotations.

In decided contrast with the record
breaking prices Of meat, the fish mar
ket has taken a decided slump within
the last week. Fish of every variety
is selling at from rs to 80 per cent less
than 1t brought a week ago.
Trout brought only 81 to $50 today,
some selling as low as $50, In contrast
with SO demanded last week. Spanish
mack erel, which was In demand at 121a
cents last week, is selling for cents
today.
CLANS have dropped from 65 and 70
cents a hundred to so cents. Founders,
butterfish. and croakers.are not bring
ing more than 8 cents. Weak trout is
selling fairly we'll at IS.
There Is a good market for crabs at
$3.50 to 50, and soft crabs are bringing
rs cents a hundred. Surgeons are the
highest fish on the market, bringing
10 cents a pound.
1t would seem that with the meat
market so high, the fish market would
also remain steady at higher prices.
The explanation is that fish is not as
dependent upon meat prices as upon
the appearance on thenretail market of
seasonable berries and fruits.
The Arab venders, who buy large
percentage of the wholesale fish supply
prefer the fruit to tine fish, and the
market suffers accordingly.
An additional explanation is that the
supply is better than last week.
Even at these low prices the market
is decidedly slow and not at all steady
The sudden rise OF last week lasted but
q few days, and the indications are that
the market will be slow for some time
The fuctuation of the wholesale fish
prices has had little or no effect upon
retail prices. The price the housewife
pays for fish does not vary much. nc

WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU,
ALEXANDRIA. VA. JUNE "a.


In the circuit court for Alexandria
county this morning the formal mo-
ton for the annexation of the outlying
territory to this city was made by the
attorneys for Alexandria. Judge J. b.
T. Thornton then stated that he would
notify Gov. William II. Mann. who
would designate some disinterested
Judge to sit on the case.
The proceedings will hardly be
brought to trial until the fall. Every
step has been taken by the Alexandria
attorneys to avoid a repetition of the
oversight which resulted in the dis
missal of the first suit. Papers Of no.
tification were served frst on the boards
OF supervisors Of Fairfax and Alexan-
dria counties as a body, and later as
individuals. 1t was the failure to do
this. that resulted in the dismissal Of
the first case on May 6.
In the former case, Judge Bennett T.
Gordon, Of Nelso county, was presiding,
but II Is hardly possible that he will
again be selected. 1t Is usually the
custom for the governor to name a
judge from some distant part of the
State from that where the action IL
brought.
The hearing will be held without O
jury. ard the Judge can. II he sees fit,
either diminish or extend the territory
asked for, or else refuse to permit the
annexation. Although 1t had been stated
that there was no appeal from his de-
cision, such Is not the case.
A sad instance of the degT adaton of
young mother was brought to the at
tention Of Justice Harry r. eaton in
police court this morning. when Mary
Bryant, scarcely more than girl, was
arraigned on a charge Of vagrancy. Her
child, which Is but fifteen months old
was held in her arms during the hearing
Of the case.
Until a sew months ego. she said, she
lived in Warrenton, Va, with her
husband. They had been happy. but
trouble soon arose and he left her.
She appealed to her father, but he re-
fused to help her. She then went to
the Florence CrIttenton Home. Staying
there but a short while, che managed
to escape, giving as her reason the
fact that she was not physically able

PLANNED PROSECUTION
BEFORE FALL OF 19t 4.

Cleveland, o., Aug. 23.-All
plans for the prosecution o. the

by James r. Garfield, as head OF The
bureau of corporations before the
Fall of 1904, when John d. Arch
bold stated before the Senate com-
mittee at Washington the com7al Y
made contribution of $1,000 % to
the campaign fund. The stateme.. t
was made to" "ht by Garfield, who
referring to his diary, found let-
ter of Nov. 4, 1904, in which the
Colonel denied that such gifts had
been sought
"A deliberate and unqualified
falsehood," was the way Mr.. Garfield
characterized evidence by Mr.. Arch
bold, insofar as II dealt with the
prosecution.
