ON VERGE OF COLLAPSE
Intervention Not In Favor But May
Be Only Hope For Huerta
Regime
RAIDS CONTINUE IN COUNTRY

Mexico City, July A.-Only the con-
viction that the retirement of Presi.
dent Huerta means the elevation of
another revolutionists and the plung-
ing of their country into greater
depths of hopelessness prevents thou
sands of representative business men
from uniting in petition to the ex.
listing administration to yield.
Many of these business men believe
-that only feFeien- Intervention can re.
store peace, but EXPRESSIONS OF. ouch
opinions are not popular and are made
guardedly or with due reservation.
The failure of the government to
make any Roadway In Sonora against
the rebels; the daring displayed by
bands which captured Zacatecas and
Durango, capitals of adjoining states,
ana raided with impunity the country
and smaller towns; the occupation or
blockading of all the border ports of
entry and the steady and swift growth
of the government throughout the re.
public has created even at the nation
al palace spirit of pessimism easily
perceptible.

COMMISSION QUESTIONS RIGHTS
Stating That Present Rates Do Not
Concede To The Zenith City Her
- Right AS Head Of Lakes

| Washington, July 21.-Duluth won
substantial portion of its freight
rate fight before the Interstate COM
MERGE commission when reduction
of class rates to the city from East
ern points was ordered and the pres
ent rates were held to be discrim-
inatory. -a.sr ,.-..r.- H. -. e.
Duluth's contention that rates on
lake and rail traffic from the East
ought to break at it's wharves, how
ever, was not sustained.
| In brief, the commission held that
the present rail and lake class rates to
Duluth from points east of the Indi-
ana-Illinois state lines were unreason-
able, and that the existing scale of
through rail and lake class rates to
Duluth was unduly discriminatory as
compared with rates to Chicago.
1t was ordered that the first class
rate from the East to Duluth should
not exceed 81 cents 100 pounds, and
that the rates from trunk line terri
tory to Duluth, rail and lake, should
not exceed those to Chicago.
Deprived Of Advantages.
The commission also held that the
present joint through rail and lake
frates from the East to Duluth depriv-
ed Duluth of the advantage of it's 10.

resulted lin undue discrimination
against Duluth, which will be relieved
in some measure by the reduction here
required"
Finally the commission held that

Northwest ought to break on its
wharves instead of at the Twin Cities
e Observation-Disclosures ;snna that
in fairnesa4to Duluth the sum OF the
intermediate rates is the lowest rate
adjustment that Minneapolis and st.
Paul should have, is not sustained.
Duluth cannot ask for more than a
reasonable scale of rates and rea-
sonable relation of rates as between
itself and the Twin Cities. To have
the rate break at particular point is
not an inherent rate right
