Pass Christian, Miss, Dec. 29.-Presl-
dent Wilson was fifty-seven years old
Sunday, and letters and kilograms OF
congratulation poured in on him from
all parts of the country.
Some of them were from personal
friends, but the majority were from
persons hitherto unknown to tie pres
ident Some were written in pencil
and half scrawled and others ap-
peared more formal, but all apparently
brought feeling of happiness to the
president as he read them.
The birthday meant no change In
the quiet atmosphere of the cottage
which Mr. Wilson has chosen as his
residence during his vacation here.
In the forenoon he attended services
in the little Presbyterian church
which is perched on the edge of the
beach road, half projecting into the
Mississippi sound.
Mr. Wilson's prowess as ire
fighter has added to his fame here.
One member of the volunteer ire

DEMANDS MORE FACTS
U. S. RAIL BODY ASKS ROADS TO
GIVE PROPERTY VALUES.
Commission Seeks Data Following Re-
quest That Roads Increase
Their Freight Rates.

Washington, Dec pa series of
questions was addressed by the in
terstate commerce commission to the
railroads of eastern classification ter
ritory in relation to petition of the
roads for an advance of five per cent.
in their freight rates. The replies
are required by January 81.
The inquiries are designed to de-
velop such facts concerning the phys
ical and financial operations Of the
roads as heretofore have not been
submitted to the commission.
In its circular to the railroads the
commission points out that the funda-
mental questions which have arisen
in the bearings on the pleas for the
advance in rates are:
DO the present rates of transpor-
tation yield adequate revenues to rail
roads operating in official classified
ton territory?
IF not, what general course may
such carriers pursue to meet the
situation?"
The commission says elaborate and
hC1p1uI 1111O1 1udI1Ou C1IOdUy Ids UOGn
submitted by the roads showing the
diminishing net returns from opera
lions and lessened net income
These statements of the financial
results" the commissions statement
continues, do not furnish fully the
data deemed by the commission to be
necessary to determine the general
course carriers may pursue to meet
the situation. The commission re-
quires for this purpose additional in
formation from the railroads with a
view to determining both the causes
of the diminishing net revenue and
net income and the general course to
be pursued"
1t is the understanding of the COM
mission that some of the railroads are
in position to make full responses to
the question submitted without sub
stantial delay. while others will re
quire some time to compile the data
ordered.

STILL PROSECUTING SINGER
Miss MacVane's Effects Seized by

Rome, Dec 29.-The persecution of
Dorothea MacVane, an American sing
er, who was accused at laramie of be-
ing a spy in the employ of the French,
has not ended, though the government
officially denounced the spy story.
Her sister Edith and her father, Pro-
lessor MacVane, have besought her to
return to Rome, but she is unable to
do so, as the impresario of the com

of the most terrible tales of atrocities
committed by any of the warning fac
tions in Mexico that has yet been
brought to the border. He charges
that the federal soldiers, upon the
evacuation of the city of Monclova
poisoned the wells without notifying
the citizens, and that as result over
400 residents of the town died after
enduring the most terrible agony.
Mr.. Miller also charges that upon
leaving Monclova the federals on their
retreat burned villages, murdered
men, women and even little children
on the charge of having given aid
and comfort to the enemy, and left
hundreds of orphans to die of starva-
ton and other forms of neglect.

New York. Dec 29-'I personally
know OF the murders of five Ameri.

Mexican atrocities put into the shade
those committed by the Bulgarians
in the Balkan war"
Such was the statement made by

and mining interests in Vera Cruz and
Chihuahua, who has been a resident
of Mexico for 20 years.
