The proposed charter, embodying the

discussed and explained at several mass

are conversant with its several phases

Sweeping Order Of Interstate
Commerce Commission.
COMPANIES NAY MAKE E|saT.
useIare They Cannot Stand an Al.
nual Reduction Of Fully $26, ,o00,.
600 in Their Revenues.

Washington, Aug. 5.-ReductiOns In
express rates which will cost the COM
panies fully $26,00o,ooO a year-ap.
proximately 16 per cent Of their gross
revenue-were ordered by the inter.
state commerce commission, to be-
come effective on or before Oct. Is,
1913. Notable reforms in practices
also were ordered.
The most important change pre-
scribed by the order is by way of
modification of the present gradu-
ated scale of parcel rates. For pack
ages more than four pounds going
more than 200 miles and less than
1000 the new express rates are gem
orally lower than the parcel post
rates; for more than 5000 miles the
rates are practically the same.
The report and order of the COM
mission, prepared by Commissioner
John H. Marble, are virtual affirma-
tion of the findings of former Com.
missioner Franklin K. Lane, now sec.
retary of the interior.
BY prescribing a so called block
system, dividing the United States
into $50 blocks, averaging $500 square
miles, 900,000,000 different rates now
published by the express companies
will be reduced to less than $4,000,
and the interstate commerce commits.
sion believes that the system points
the way to solution of the existing
maze of freight rates.
Companies Expected to Fight.
The general impression in official
quarters is that the express COM
panies will attempt to test by legal
means the constitutionality of the
commissions order.
The express companies had fled
statements indicating that the losses
Of revenue under the proposed rates
would be fntolerable and argued
strenuously that the establishment Of
the parcel post had deprived them Of
quite 80 per cent of the revenue they
formerly received from parcels Of
eleven pounds or less. They contend
ed that the express business could
not survive the losses from both
sources. -. =s.5-:
This 10 equivalent to saying" COM
ments Commissioner Marble in his re-
port, "that the commission is called
upon to take from the shippers Of the
country all the benefit that they re-
ceive from the parcel post and give
it to the express companies in the
form Of higher rates upon the remain
ing business"
The rate for newspapers and pc.
,riodicals, as we'll as for bread and
such articles for which specially low
rates now are charged, are substan-
TALLY the same as the present rates.

.Rkq LANE WILSON QUITS
staelDspartment Accepts Resignation
0Present Ambassador to Take
Effect on Oct. IA.

President Wilson's policy of media
ton with respect to Mexico was an.
nounced when Secretary of State Bry-
an made public the fact that former
Governor John D. Lind of Minnesota
had left Washington for Mexico City,
where he will be the personal repre-
sentative Of the president and adviser
of the American embassy.
To Mr.. Lind the president has en-
trusted the task of trying to induce
the federal government and the repre-
sentatives Of the rebels temporarily to
lay aside their differences pending an
election in Mexico, with the under.
standing that the United States will
recognize the government which may
thus be brought into being.
While the formal statement given
out by Mr.. Bryan did not contain any
information as to Mr.. Lind's instruc.
tions from Information gained from
other sources 1t can be said that the
above is the administrations program.
MIR. Bryan's statement was as fol.
lows:
Adviser to the Embassy. "
Former Governor John Lind of Min.
nesota has been sent to Mexico az
the personal representative of the
president to act as adviser to the em-
bassy in the present situation.
when the president is ready to
communicate with the Mexican au.
thorities as to the restoration OF peace
he will make public his views. Gov.
ernor and Mrs. Lind departed for
Mexico over the Southern railway via
New Orleans and Galveston"
This announcement, which repre-
sents all that the administration ID
willing to tell the country regarding
its Mexican policy at this time, fol-
lowed closely on the heels Of the &C.
ceptance of the resignation Of Henry
Lane Wilson as ambassador to Mex.

Mr.. Wilson has been held on wait
ing orders by the department Of state
and Aug. IA will enter upon 4 status
of leave Of absence, which will con-
tinue until Oct. II, when bis resisna-
ton will become effective.
Wilson Must Keep Away.
The administration has forbidden
him to 60 to. Mexico City to adjust
his personal affairs between now and
Oct. IL.
The reason for this is that it ID
known that should Mr.. Wilson return
to Mexico City even a. q private citi-
zen there would result q demonstra.
ton In his honor. in which Americans,
|:Mexicans and foreigners swould par

sentatives on the Republican side at
the same time Mr.. Bryan was occupy

)ourned until nine o'clock the next
day. l would have escaped him IL l
could. but I saw that he was deter
mined to worm out everything l knew
or suspected. decided that activity
would be the best remedy for his
curiosity. Accordingly I invited the
coroner and the constable to come up
for them to question me, began fir
ing questions hot-shot at them, sug-
gesting things for them to do, simple
| things that would have been the first
thought Of the police of New York or
any other large city, but which they
had not thought Of. Had they tele-
phoned description Of the woman to
the bridgeport police with her name
to see If she could be identified as
any one who was missing from that
city? Had they examined her clothing
to see If there was any mark on 1t that
might identify her? Had they studied
her writing on the register to see II It
gave any indication of being assumed
or disguised? Had they examined her
pocketbook to see If it contained any
clue to a motive? Had they consid-
cred whom she might have come to
this town to see?
That idea Of calling up the Bridge
port police amt such bad one," said
the coroner. Suppose you do 1t
now" he said, turning to the con-
stable.
I'D like to know who's going to pay
for 1t II l do" the constable objected.

III you're going 20 pay 1t out Of

expect me to wait till you put 1t
through as a lawful expense l amt
taking no chances"
Their petty wrangling over such a
trifling amount exasperated me not q
little.

bill from my pocket, take this and
