Washington, June 23.-The inter-
state commerce commissions ~so-called
inter-mountain rate orders were sus-
tanned as valid yesterday by the su-
preme court. which held, at the same
time, that the long and short haul
clause Of the interstate commerce law
was constitutional. Both had been
attacked by the transcontinental rail-
roads, The defunct commerce court,
passing over the constitutional ques-
ton, had annulled the orders on the
ground that the commission had no
authority to issue blanket" or zone"
orders and might act only on the rea-
sonableness of specific rates. In over
turning that contention yesterday and
holding that the commission did have
such power, the supreme court de-
clded a point which lawyers and close
observers of the interstate commerce
commissions procedure say is of equal
Importance to the inter-mountain rate
case itself If not greater. Opposition
to h 5 per cent increase in freight
rates being asked by the eastern rail-
roads, and upon which the interstate
commerce commission is expected to
announce it's decision at any day. had
been based principally upon the con-

have authority under the law to grant
such a blanket increase" Copies of
the courts decision were sent immedi-
ately to the commission for its guild
ance.
What the effect. if any, of the deci-
sion upon the rate case may be, can
only be the subject of conjecture.
There are those among the well in
formed in the commissions procedure,
however, who say the decision in the
disposition of the railroads applica-
ton has been delayed awaiting the
supreme courts decision on that i'm
portant point.
AS to the nter-mountain rate orders
themselves, however, their effect is
that such western cities east Of the
Rocky mountains as Reno, Spokane
and Phoenix will not be forced to pay
upon their freight from the east, the
regular rate through to the Pacific
coast and then also another rates from
the Pacific back to their stations, be-

cause h railroads are competing with
Water-borne traffic around Cape Horn
or through the Panama canal.
They will, however, pay certain in
creases over the normal rates from
certain zones. Thus the railroads may
charge no more than the regular rate

charge an increase of z per cent on
those originating between St. Paul and

AS a result of the decision all, uues-

unanimous decision of the court. He
said the ase turned largely upon the
construction and validity Of the long
and short haul clause in the fourth
section of the interstate act,
as amended in 1910. His conclusion
was that the amendment in 1910 trans
ferred from the railroads to the COM
mission the power hitherto reposed by
congress in the railroads to determine
what exemption should be made from
the general prohibition against charg-
ing less for a long haul than for a
short haul. He said if it was valid for
congress to allow the railroads to ex-
ercise the power. 1t was valid for o
gress to let the commission exercise it.
After all has been said,' continued
Justice White, "the provisions while
involving, of course. a certain latitude
Of judgment and discretion, are no
more underlined and uncertain since
amended than they have been from the
beginning"

Commerce Commission.
Not Railroads, Will
Distribute Benefits
... of Panama Cana

Washington, June 22-That distribution throughout the country
OF the benefits Of tho Panama canal will rest with the Interstate
commerce commission, not with the transcontinentaI railroads. is
one Of the conclusions being drawn from the supreme courts deci-
son in the, interrnountaIn rate cases, in which the court upheld the
orders of the commission.
It has been generally claimed that the Panama canal would
reduce freight rates from Atlantic seahoard points to the Pacific
coast cities and vice versa, but to what extent the railroads riuhE
interior points to share in the benefits RAJ a matter Of dis
Pute. The decision of the court is that the interstate commerce
simply proceed to haul freight. ivy
The railroads fought for the right to adjust trade balances
among various sections of the country. The court found an answer
to the whoie controversy in holding that congress had conferred on
the railroads themselves the right to make determinations in favor
or te. long haul hence had the right, a. it did in 1910. to take this
right from the railroads and give it to the commission, Had the de.
eiston been to the contrary It would have rested in the iudqement
OF the railroads as to how far interior cities should shara wifi A.
board cities in the benefits of water ompetiton.

CARRANZA
WILL NOT
ACCEPT

New Orleans, June 23.-Carran-
"a will not accept the invitation Of
the United States government to
sent representatives to meet in.
formally with the agents Of Huerta
in any endeaVor to select a proVi-
sionaI president of Mexico, accord
ing to a statement here by Alfred
Breceda, private secretary to
Carranza, member Of the latest
commission Carranza is sending to
Washington.
Fresh from a visit to General
Carranza, Fernando CaIderon,
leader Of the liberal party in Mex
leo, is en- route to Washington to
Bryan, not as a representative Of
eral party.
With Alfredo Breceda, private
secretary to Carranza, and r. r.
ViTIavincio, constitutionaIist officer
of SaltiIlo, Calderon arrived here
yesterday and is scheduled to de-
art for Washington tonight. CAL
deron was emphatic in lbs declara-
ton that he. would not represent
Carranza in any negotiations that
he might enter, either at Wash
ington or Niagara Falls. His trav-
cling companions, however, stat
cd that CaIderon might act as a
go-hetween for the constitution
aIists in whatever negotiations
they might be parties to.
Niagara Falls, June 2S.-The media
tors and the American and Huerta
delegates were occupied early today in
arrangements for informal con-
ferences between the representatives
Of General Carranza and Huerta, a
it was hoped an agreement
be reached on the individual,
who is to be provisional president OF
Mexico. The final details depended
upon the travelling arrangements Of
the constitutionalist delegates who are
g nroute here. On the delegates
from the two Mexican factions them
selves will rest the burden of select
ing the man Of the hour, the task
deadlocked the mediation con
and nearly disrupted it last
week. BY turning over the delicate
question of the personnel to the Mexi-
cans themselves, the mediators and
delegates. feel temporarily
relieved.
There can be no charge Of foreign
dictation, the mediators think, for the
American government is said to stand
ready to recognize who ever is agreed
1pon by the Mexicans. In the informal
all the internal questions
will be discussed, counsel Of media
tors, American delegates be given
when sought. On the international
questions, the mediation board will
continue it's conferences. The result OF
the two sets, Of negotiations, it is
hoped will ultimately be incorporated
n a pact effecting a cessation OF
and opening the way tc
complete restoration Of peace. D
