As was expected the B. A. c. trimmed
the Auburn FIVE when they met on the
local court last night.
Major showed excellent form, proving
TO be the star of the game, making Il
points.
The Athletic club has not gotten back
into the championship form that marked
their early work. Their teamwork AMI
shooting was not like that of old. All
times they showed flashes of brilliancy,
but 1t was for only a few minutes.
Auburn started the ball rolling when
Noble shot foul followed a few seconds
later by another. But the club boys
quickly passed them.
In this half Bob Ritchie did some good
foul shooting and Seals and Wharton also
showed up to advantage. The score at
the end of this period was II to 6.
In the second half Coach Nespor began
to shift his team. From then on 1t was
q case of how large the score would be.
Although the ball was kept close to the
clubs end most of the time the boys
failed to ring many baskets.
Seals starred In this half, not only on
the defensive but on the offensive, he

ert S. L.ovett of the Union Pacific execu-
tive committee issued a statement late
today announcing discontinuance of all

fore joint with the Southern Pacific COM
pany The statement says:
THE operating organizations of the
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific in
the west were separated a year ago last

only joint offices and officials left after
that reorganization, and at the time of
the decision of the supreme court in De-
cember. were the directors, chairman of
the executive committee. directors of
maintenance and traffic. and other Of
ficers located in New York, and the COM
mercial and soliciting agents.
when the attorney generals position
respecting the disposition of the Central
Pacific was made known, thereby show
ing a possible conflict of interest with
respect to that property, the chairman
and directors of the Union Pacific in
formed him that of course they could not
further act for the Southern Pacific and
Immediately resigned from the Southern
Pacific so that the latter board could be
composed of directors not interested in
the Union Pacific.
This occurred on the thirteenth instant.
Today the remaining joint officers in
New York resigned from one system or
the other and circulars changing the joint
agencies and appointing separate COM
mercial agents We're issued, taking ef-

CHARGE VIOLATION
OF NEUTRALITY
New Orleans Firm Is In
dicted for Proposed
Shipment

New Orleans, January a.-Indictments
charging conspiracy to violate the neu-
trality laws in connection with the pro-
posed shipment of a large quantity of
arms and ammunition to Mexican insur-
gents were returned today by the United
States grand Jury against certain mem
bers of the firm of A Baldwin & Co.,
of this city. II is one of the largest i'm
porting houses in the south. 1t is under
stood the indictments are connected with
a proposed shipment of ammunltions of
war valued at $2O0000, which, however,
due TO activities of an agent Of the bu-
reau of investigation of the department
of Justice, never left New Orleans The
arms and ammunition are at present
stored in a warehouse in this city.
The war supplies stored here are said
to represent a part only of purchases
totaling s500,00o, which were made here
and In New York by rebel agents repre-
senting interests connected with the
Felix Diaz revolt of last summer at Vera
Crslz. The supplies stored here include
rifles. machine guns, cartridges and ex-
plosives for bomb manufacture. They
were shipped from New York on South
ern Pacific steamers in July and August,
1912 All OF the supplies were packed in
cardboard boxes After the suppression
of the Felix Diaz revolt the supplies
which were intended for shipment on
schooners from New Orleans to Vera
Cruz, were placed In warehouse here.
Another attempt was made to move the
supplies on December 81 1872 They We're
taken from the warehouse and moved in
freight cars to the Old Basin canal in
New Orleans, but the activity of an agent
of the department of Justice again pre-
vent their trans shipment from the
alveus. The indictment charges a con-
spiracy to violate the terms of the joint
resolution adopted by Congress on March
IA, 1912, in pursuance of which President
Taft issued a proclamation forbidding
the shipment of war supplies to revolu-
tiolists in Mexico.

A recommendation that the govern

handling of package freight at ports on
the great lakes was presented by Julius

porter.
There are no independent steamship
lines on the lakes, said Mr.. Barnes

The witness asserted that the railroads
