IN AMERICAS NOTE OF WARNING

Washington, D. c., April 1.-THE
state departments note of warning
to Mexico against mistreatment OF
Americans and destruction of thei"

American Mexican relations to the
critical point. The warning was
sent both to Madero's government
as well as TO General Orozco Of the
rebels.
This deduction is made from past
experience, notably with Cuba. 1t is
recalled that just such a warning

expiration of his present term will
have served two years by election
from his district Since taking the
oath of office to succeed the lamented
Allen w Speake, Mr.. Kirkpatrick
has devoted almost his exclusive
time to the duties of his off.ce,he has
made Carter county a most excellent
commissioner, he has been painstak-
ing and careful in his work, he has
been dilgent in looking after the
best interests of his people, three
county tax levies have bee made since
he was chosen commissioner and
each one has been less than The for
mer, he has stood for economy in
county affairs, he has stood for ef-
ficiency in office, he has personally
supervised work done in his district,
he has been devoted to the interests
of his people and has seen that the
county receives dollars worth OF
labor for every dollar spent and that
a dollars worth of material has been

RAILROADS TARDY In OBEYINC ORDER

BALTIMORE, Aug. 22.-Ofncials or
the Baltimore and Ohio and Psnnsyl-
vania railroads declared to-day that
they have complied with all the pro-
visions of the late decision of the In
terstate Commerce Commission rela-
tive to a revised and reduced sched-
ule Of switching charges On the
other hand the erchants and Manu-
facturers' Association, through Traf-
fic Manager A. Il. Beck, say that the
Railroads have ignored the decision
OF the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion and have refused to publish
revised tariff schedule in keeping
with the decision, which makes the
charge Of hauling cars from one yard
TO another and from one line 20 an
other much less than has prevailed in
the past
Mr. Beck is backed up in his posi-
ton by a letter recently received
from John II. Marble secretary OF the
commission. in which he states that
the commission is aware OF the delay
on the part of the railroads In filing
new schedules, and If they do not
comply with the decision of the COM
mission within few days "a proper
order will be issued"
When this situation was explained
TO the officials OF the Baltimore q
Ohio and Pennsylvania Railroads
they sent word that they have con-
formed with all the decisions OF the
Interstate Commerce Commission
relative to the switching charges, -
and then dismissed the subject
The merchants of the city are much
exercised over the situation, as each
days delay means a financial loss to
them.
When the decision reducing switch
ing charges considerably was handed
/ down the railroads asked for a delay
before the new schedule went into
effect that they might study them and
! see how they will affect the income
/ of the roads. Their request was
granted and, although the time limit
set has passed, the railroads have
made no report to the commission. as
far as the merchants and manufac-
turers are aware.
In the meantime the decision Of the
Maryland Public Service Commission
on the subject Of switching charges
far more drastic than the one handed
down by the Interstate Commerce
Commission, is held in allegiance by
a temporary injunction obtained by
the roads. This case will be taken
up early i'm September in Circuit
Court No. ?, which issued the injunc-
