j. S. READY TO AID REBELS
RECOGNIZING BElLIGERENcY TO
RESTORE PEACE.
President Determined to Deal No
Longer With Huerta Regime, But
Considers Peace Plans.

Washington, d. C.-President Viii
son indicated to those with whom
he discussed the Mexican situation
that he was irrevocably determined
TO deal no longer with the Huerta
regime, but that further steps to-
ward bringing peace to Mexico were
being considered
No move is expected, however, I'M
til after Oct. rs, the date set for the
Mexican elections.
Just what the Washington govern
ment will do is yet matter OF specu-
lation among the high officials, but
the trend of events. they say, is I'M
mistakably toward conducting nego-
tiations in some form or another With
the Constitutionalists, or rebels.
The policy OF the United States
has been to make complete record of
having attempted to handle the prob
lem by peaceful means. Up to the
present parleys have been carried on
with the Huerta authorities, who
have rejected the good offices OF the
United States.
Strong pressure is now being
brought to bear upon the president
and Secretary Bryan to give the Con-
stitutionalists an opportunity to COM
pose the situation through the sup
port of this country.

stated that the commission had noti-
fled the Frisco, the Iron Mountain
and the Cotton Belt railroads that
they had no authority to change the
old rates and must at once amend
their schedules 10 meet the new
rates.
Complaints were filed against these
railroads by George McBlair, secre-
tary Of the Lumbermen's exchange OF
st. Louis, who alleges that railroads
had made overcharges on freight ship
ments.
Col. Martin l.. Clardy, general at
torney of the Missouri Pacific and
Iron Mountain systems, has notified
the commission that the railroads will
contest the new rates in the courts.
The commission holds that In trans
hitting shipments OF lumber from one
line to another the same must be
treated as continuous shipment. The
railroads, since the decision in the
rate cases, have adopted a system OF
reconsignment OF shipments and I'M
der these rules charge the old rates.
The difference in favor OF the new
rate is 21a cents per 100 pounds.
