Schedules Offered by Railroads and

Most Cases-Decision Import
ant to Oklahoma Shippers

Neutrality-suspicious. the bo-
lief of the Interstate commerce CON-
mission that the class and commodity
freight rates between points In Okla
homa and Texas are unjust and dis
criminatory as compared with the
rates from Texas points to Oklahoma,
Commissioner Clements has pr,.
scribed compromises between the
schedules offered by the railroads and
the Oklahoma state corporation com.
mission.
The opinion settles this important
case, which has been the subject OF q
long and important fight. In the orig.
inal report Of the commission handed
down last May in which the rates
were held unjust. the commission
held the case open for the railroads
and the commission to submit pro-
posed scales mutually satisfactory to
them. IL an agreement could be
reached in conference which the COM
mission suggested. This conference
was held but participants failed to
reach an agreement and the commits
sion therefore prescribes what 1t be-
lieves to be fair rates and these Will
go into effect June 18th.
Rates to Oklahoma points on the
first four classes from certain Texas
jobbing points including Dallas and
Fort Worth are made on basis OF
the so-called jobbers' scale which.
generally speaking, 10 lower than the
scale prescribed by the Texas COM
mission for interstate traffic, while
the petition charged unreasonableness
in the southbound rates between Okla
homa and Texas. The evidence and
argument were directed principally
at the alleged undue discrimination
against the Oklahoma jobbers into
Texas in favor Of the Texas jobbers
into Oklahoma by reason Of the lower
rates accorded to the latter under the
jobbers' scale applicable on first four
classes.
The commission sustained the Okla
homa corporation commissions con-
tentions.
After the conference with the state
commission the carriers suggested
that the national commission pre-.
scribe the Texas scale In its entirety
with the upward grsdations beyond
its limit of 245 miles, although some
admitted the abnormality in that scale
in the narrow spread between the
first and fourth classes. The fourth
class rate OF the Texas scale is uni
formly so per cent of the FIRST.

Voting Machines Cause Of Probe.

Chicago.-Five election officers Of

nifty and appeared before the April
grand jury which Is investigating the
purchase OF 100000 worth OF vot-
ing machines for use in Chicago.

stories without expectation Of freeing
themselves from possible prosecution
were Howard 8. Taylor. Charles S.
Kellerman and Anthony Czarnecki,
election commissioners; William II.
Stuart. chief clerk, and Charles II.

When the ordinance contracting for
the deliveries of the machines was
passed. Czarnecki voted against 1t. and

BlsuIphlde for Ants.

Where ants infest lawns or other
equally available areas. punch holes
about foot deep with a stick at three
or four points near the center Of the
nest; pour into each about an ounce
Of the bisulphide of carbon and close
the openings with the foot. The vapor
will get into and follow the galleries
and kill the ants. A second treatment
will rarely be necessary.

PRESIDENT WILL

WILL REST FOR THREE WEEKS AS SOON AS HE HAS SIGNED
 THE CURRENCY BILL.
Has Been Suffering From Cold and LaGrippe for Several Weeks and Needs a Rest and Change.

Washington, Dec. 1S.--President Wilson will take q three weeks yaca- tion immediately after he signs the currency bill, which is expected to be on Monday or Tuesday Where he will go has not yet been announced, though it is said he and his family win select quiet spot on the coast or the gulf of Mexico near New Or leans It will be the longest absence of the president from the capital since he was inaugurated. There will be no New Years reception at the white house, as the president will be out of the city during the Christmas holidays.
 The president has been suffering from an attack of grippe for the past two weeks, but the announcement of his intended vacation was made be- fore he became i'll This illness has not caused any halt in the presidents
 abors, which have been continued without any material interruption. As president-elect President Wilson re- turned from a months vacation in the Bermudas last December and in the succeeding three months was under the double strain of his official du- ties as governor of New Jersey and preparation for the presidency. Since taking office he has been in Wash ington almost continuously, being oc- cupied with the tariff, the currency and the Mexican question, among oth- CT pressing administrative affairs.
 Inasmuch as the president intends to be away until about January l2, the diplomatic reception planned for Jan uary 6 will be postponed to the fol- lowing week and the dates in the en- tire social schedule of state dinners and receptions at the white house for the winter season will be revised.
 The president was well enough to- day to take a long automobile ride and on his return helped plant aa American elm in front of the white house.

Conditions Favorable.

Washington, Dec. Estate depart ment officials expressed the opinion today that conditions in Mexico were more favorable"
 No intimation was given as to the nature of changes in the situation regarded as indicating improvement.
 Much interest is manifested here in the cyclonic disturbances in the finances of Mexico, involving the failure of banks and the issue of cur rencv without security regarded as substa tial.
 The opinion was expressed in some quarters that the Huerta government might receive financial support from the large land and mine owners in northern Mexico who heretofore have been supposed to occupy an at titude of nuetrality as between the contending factions, but who may now adopt allegiance to the Huerta cause as a result of the confiscation of their property by Gen. Villa, the lrbel leader.
