The vestry was authorized to negou-
ate for the purchase OF the property on
the northeast corner of Spencer street
and Wine avenue. owned by County
Engineer Louis l.. Dent.
The idea is to use the present dwell
ing as a rectory and to erect q ten
thousand dollar church racing Wine
avenue and u parish hall and Sunday
school room facing Spencer street.
Architects are now preparing de-
signs for the new buildings. and If the
Dent property can be purchased 1t is
probable that work on the parish hall
will be begun during the coming summer.
The yestry hopes to secure the pledge
of 100 communicates to subscribe 500
each, payable in instalments, to be used
as a fund to begin operations. The con-
gregation will proba.b bly, worship in the

STATE RIGHTS IN RATE CASE UPHELD

sofa May Govern Other States
as to Rates.

Notwithstanding power of the
states to fix reasonable intraState
rates on Interstate railroads until such
time as congress shall choose TO rcSu-
late rates was upheld Monday by the
supreme court OF the United States IN
the Minnesota freight and passenger
rate cases.
At the same time the court laid
down far-rcaching principles govern
ing the valuation of railroad property
for ratemaking purposes, and accord
ing TO these held that the state oil
Minnesota would confiscate the prop
erty of the Minneapolis and st LOUIS
Railroad Company by its maximum
freight and &c passenger fare law. IL
enioinpd the state from enforcing
these laws as to this road for the pres
ent. In the cases of the Northern IA
cific and Great Northern, however,
the court held that these roads had
failed to show that the rates were I'M
reasonable" or confiscatOry, and con
seoucntlv reversed the United States
district court for Minnesota, which had
enioined their enforcement as both
confiscatory and a burden on inter
state commerce.
The criticism of the apportonment
of the valuation between intrastate
and interstate business on gross reVe-
nue. basis and the apportionment OF
expenses by regarding intrastate busl-
ness as two and a half times as ex'
pensive as interstate business was re
garded here as favorable to the state
| of Missouri in its fight to uphold the
validity of the maximum freight and
| &c passenger law enacted by 1t. SINH
| lar confidence was inspired in advo
| Gates of the Arkansas state rate regu
| lations, but all recognized that the
statement of the court that each case
of alleged confiscation must rest on
it's own bottom, might mean the set
ting aside of the Missouri and Arkan
sas laws. The states of Oregon anc
Kentucky were regarded as almost
certain to win their rate cases, IN
volying the validity of state frelgh
rates. but in each instance practically
the only objection to the laws was
their reputed interference with inter
state commerce.

AMERICANS IN MEXICO DEMAND PROTECTION
Three Hundred Now in Mexico Init
mate They Will Take Steps to
Protect Themselves.

TampicO. Mex - Three hundred
Americans located in Southern Tam
aulipas, representing siXty-cight iami
lies. have demanded in a long message
to President Wilson, sent through
Consul Miller, to know once for all'
whether they can expect protection
from their home government, since
for our own safety which would en-
barrass our government without Civ
ing due notice beforehand
The message Of the Americans was
transmitted by wireless through Con
sui Miller to w. w. Canada, the
American consul at Vera Cruz, to be
forwarded to Washington. 1t says:
Having been left without any pro-
lection whatever. on the part OF both
sides, i'm the pending controversy,
therefore we can look for protection
only from our own country. We must
know once for all if we can expect
same. Having been subject to sights
and a great variety of indignities and
gross abuse during the last few days,
the situation calls for most serious
preparations for our personal safety
and the defense of our families and
our interests. Therefore, we>have as
sembled for the purpose of consider
ing the best way. We consider pro-
lection necessary now, since after
death it will be of no utility
| The message declares in addition
| that the petitioners have borne finaH-
cial losses silently, but that many of
! them can not obey the advice TO
get away if in danger" as their de-
parture would mean the abandoning
of the accumulations of lifetime.
1--WE consider the lives of ourselves
and our families in danger, and the
situation has justified this petition
several times in the last few days.
The message continues: 1T is no
longer doubtful that the slightest
spark will bring on the dread con
flagration at any moment. In many
instances the small arms sold Ameri
can citizens on the part of the Ameri
can government for their protection
have been demanded and in some In
