JONES DROPPED
AT OWN REQUEST
President WithdraWs N0mina-
tion of Chicagoan
is WILSON'S FIRST DEFEAT
Withdrawal Nominees Name From
Federal Reserve Board mt Request
of Latter, President Arraigned
Opposition In Scornful Terms.

Washington.-Pres Wilson &C
knowedged his first defeat at the
hands of Congress, when he withdrew
the name Of Thomas D. Jones, OF Chi
cago, for the Federal Reserve Board.
Withdrawal followed a final revolt
of Democratic Senators which threat
ened to disrupt the entire Admin
instration support. Senators Shevley,
of Indiana; Clarke, Of Arkansas, and
Johnson, heretofore stanch Wilson
men, sent word to the White House
that they could not be forced to vote
for Jones.
Opposition to the nominee had been
based on his connection with the Har-
vester company, which is under In
dictment as a trust, and the Senate
Banking Committee had submitted a
majority report adverse to conf1rma-
ton signed by all the Republican and
two Democratic members.
The President submitted letter
from Mr.. Jones requesting that his
name be withdrawn. He also sent
his own letter replying to Mr.. Jones.
In 1t he scornfully arraigned members
Of the committee who opposed the
nomination.
The cancellation of Mr.. Jones's
nomination was great surprise to
the Senate. Secretary Tumulty &C
companied the messenger who car
ried the formal withdrawal papers
to the Senate and held a hurried
conference with Senator Pomerene
and others.
The news Of what was pending
reached the Senate while Senator
Reed was making bitter speech
against the appointment, and Senator
Hitchcock, who led the fight against
Jones, wrote on a slip Of paper that
Jones had been Withdrawn and showed
it where Mr.. Reed could see It.
The Senate Immediately went into
executive session.

RATE COMMISSION

Rates That Commission, Will Report
Will Not Include the 25 Per Cent
Extra for Mountain Division

Lieutenant Governor Daughtrdige is
on duty here as governor for few
days while Governor Craig is out Of
the city until August 10 filling en-.
gagements for addresses in Pennsv,-
vania and Ohio.
Mr.. Daughtridge expects that the
rate commission will file it's report
on the Justice act declaring what the
intrastate rates shall be as between
the reduced rates prescribed for ap-
plication in this state by the act and
the present rates, which are about "a
per cent. higher. 1t is generally con-
ceded that tie rate commission will
declare an entirely new scale of rates
that will be nothing like so low as
the Justice rates.
Furthermore, the rates that the
commission will report will not in
clude the 25 per cent extra "moun-
tain division" charge for freights
handled on the Asheville, Murphy and
Old Fort divisions of the Southern
that have been in force for many
years. That this extra charge will be
eliminated by the commission is
learned from an authoritative source.
AS soon as the report comes from
the commission it will be sent from
the governors. office in the corpora
ton commission to- be promulgated
by the commission as the established
rates for the intrastate freight traffic
and 60 days from this PRONUNCIATION
by the corporation commission the
new rates will become operative. un-
less, there is appeal taken to the
courts by the railroad companies.
There is a strong impression that
there will be no such appeal.

Hostilities are to cease at once,

General Iturbide added that peace
negotiations will be advanced on a
basis of giving full guarantees to

General Antonio Rojas, a former
revolutionary leader, who later be-
came a Federal chief, revolted with
200 men of the Federal troops sta
toned at Tacubaya, suburb of the
capital.
The military authorities at once
sent detachment of the Nineteenth
regiment in pursuit, and Rojas and
his men were overtaken in the Santa
Fe hills and routed.
General Rojas and Colonel Alatriste,
with about 100 men, made their es-
cape.
Vera Cruz.-Only the immediate
arrival of CoEstitutionalist soldiers
at the capital can save Mexico City
from falling into the hands of bandit
gangs and so-called followers of
Emiliano Zapata, the agrarian leader
OF the South, according to views from
there.
When General Huerta fed the city
he took $500 men, the flower Of the
regular troops, with him to Puerto
Mexico as guard and the chances
OF their returning to the capital en-
masse are slim.
Now the defense of the city rests
with 1900 police and about 1000
soldiers, including volunteers.
All OF the suburbs are threatened
by an overwhelming force, which has
not yet entered the city only because
it lacks the artillery, which the Fed
erals have.

politics Of Mr.. Murphy and his sub
bosses. aided and abetted when
necessary by Mr.. Barles and the

Mr.. Barnes lays emphasis on no
particular sentence of the attack. The
entire Roosevelt statement is en-
bodied in the complaint which says
in effect that every normal reader
knows that Mr.. Roosevelt was charg-
ing the State Chairman with partial
responsibility for political corruption.
The trial, If there Is one, will be
in Albany county, the home of Mr..

Washington.-Presid Wilson d.
rected James C.. McReynolds, Attorney
General, to begin the biggest criminal
prosecution ever contemplated by the
United States government under the
Sherman Antitrust law.
He instructed Mr.. McReynolds to
lay before Grand Jury criminal
charges against the directors OF the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Company. Among these di-
rectors are some of the most import
ant inanciers of the country.
Following this order the govern
ment's suit to dissolve the New Hav-
en- railroad was filed in New York
with the Clerk Of the Federal
District Court, by T. w. Gregory, In
behalf of Attorney-General J. C. Nc
Reynolds, for whom he is acting as

assistant, Frank M. Swacker, will rep

The New Haven railroad has 20
days in which to file its answer.
In the letter of Mr.. McReyno1ds the
President did not mince words. He
assailed the present directors of the
New Haven for refusing to carry out
their agreement with the government.
He said their action caused him the
deepest surprise and regret. He term
ed their failure to carry out their
agreement as inexplicable upon SO
slight a pretext.'
u therefore request and direct
that proceeding In equity be
filed, seeking the dissolution Of
the unlawful monopoly of trans
portation facilities In New. Enc
land now sought TO be maintained
by the New York, New Haven and
hartford Railroad Company, and
that the criminal prosecution Of

Jury" Mr.. Wilson said in the let
ter.
The unexpected severe tone of the
Presidents letter revived reports
which have emanated from persons
close to the Department of Justice
that the Administration suspected the
New Haven management OF having
accepted the reorganization pan
originally In the hope of staving off
criminal proceedings.
The correspondence given out at
the Department of Justice discloses
that the Administration was fully
alive to the "calamitous results to
the public interests" that are likely
to follow the fling of sui. but
the department lays the entire re-
sponsfbility upon the shoulders of the
directors Of the New Haven and calls
the country to witness that they
must bear the burden of the cons
gzence that may flow from litigation

The French ambassador proposed
that Germany use her influence at
Vienna in view of moderation. He
was informed Germany was willing
to let the other powers try but as
Austria's ally she could not interfere
with Austria's freedom of action.
The official announcement of Rus

had been ordered was supplemented
by trustworthy information from
Warsaw that among the precaution-
airy military measures taken were the
withdrawal of troops in Poland from
the immediate frontiers of Germany
and Austria for concentration in TIE

Gainesville, Fla. July 18th, 1914.
Mr.. D. Rooney, Secretary,
Board of Trade; Ocala, Fla:
Our party will leave here for Pa

that place.
If your party intends to go in cars,
could you not arrange to meet us at
some point, either coming up to
Gainesville Monday night or leaving
Ocala early and intersecting us at
some place suitable.
My understanding is that the rail
road company is collecting consider
able data from the ticket agents in
an effort to show that travel does not
now justify trains operated, and a
great hardship would be forced on
the road if an increase in operating
expenses is forced upon the company.
If you decide on either one of these
connections, please phone me.
