Washington.-A long step toward
placing railroads under lone master
instead of many" was taken by the
United States Supreme court in up
holding the power of the interstate
commerce commission to strike down
state rates that discriminate against
interstate commerce. In substance,
the court said that the Minnesota and
other recent state rate cases in which
the railroads lost might have been de-
cided otherwise had the roads gone to
the commission for relief instead of the
courts
The decision was announced by JUS
tice Hughes, Justices Pitney and Lur-
ton dissenting. The case arose out
of complaint by Shreveport, La, mer-
chants that the Texas railroad com
pany had shut them out of all Texas
business by compelling the railroads
to reduce Texas state rates far below
what the interstate commerce commits
sion allowed the railroads running
from Shreveport to Texas cities to
charge.

Strained Relations Between Greece

Athens, Greece-A warning to Tur-
key which fell little short of a formal
declaration of hostilities was uttered
by Premier Venizelos Of Greece in
the chamber of deputies. He was
speaking on the treatment of Greek
subjects in Turkey
The premiers attitude showed that
the tension between Greece and Tur-
key was near the breaking point, and
that the danger of war was imminent.
NJ VenizelOs, who obviously found
difficulty in retaining his language
when he spoke Of the way in which
the Turks had treated his fellow coun-
trymen, said:
Il do not wish to allow to escape
me words which cannot be recalled,
but l should fail in my duty if | did
not inform the chamber Of deputies
that the situation has become grave

MEXICO WANTS MAN
ACCEPTABLE TO ALL
SELECTION OF A SUITABLE PRO-
VlSIONAL is PROBLEM OF
MEDiATORS.
SOME NAMES ARE DISCUSSED
ed-The Task is Difficult One
and Causing Work.

Niagara Falls, Ont.-The crux of the
Mexican problem, the selection Of a
man for provisional president, accept
able to ali factions in Mexico and for
eign governments generally was
reached in a conference between the
mediators and the American and
Mexican delegates.
For more than an hour names of
various individuals were discussed
but on none was there a semblance
OF agreement. There will be another
conference on the same subject. De-
tails Of the peace plan are practically
set aside now for the greater task of
finding the man of the hour-he who
can reconcile the warning factions
and maintain peace while a constitu-
tional election is held and normal or
der is resumed.
Incidentally General Carranza's note
transmitted by Rafael Zubaran, his
representative in Washington, arrived
advising the mediators that Constitu-
uonal1st delegates were on their way
to the mediation conference with full
instructions.
The mediator's made no comment
on the note. 1t contains no reference
to an armistice, on which the media
tors have been insisting and there was
nothing to show that the mediators
had in any way altered their determi-
nation reached not to admit officially
the representatives of General Carran-
"a unless an armistice was declared.
Some other way of dealing with them
perhaps through the American dele
gates, may be found when they arrive
The Constituencies representa-
tives are needed here to facilitate the
! course OF the peace program in it's
present stages for in the discussion
OF names they can be OF mush servire

who will, or will not be acceptable
At present the mediators have &C

first protocol dealing with the trans
fer OF authority from the hands Of

1900 immigrants Arrive at American
Ports Each Week.

Washing arrived at
American ports at the rate of more
than 1900 every week day during the
first ten months of the fiscal year Of
1914, and indications are that by June
3, when the fiscal year ends, the
greatest number of immigrants ever
admitted during any year will have
entered. Statistics of the bureau OF
immigration for April and the ten
months ending with April, show 49,
$50 were admitted in April and the to-
tai for ten months was 1,O3S,956.
Should May and June arrivals equal
the number admitted during these
months in previous years, the 1914 to-
tai would be approximately 1851, 900
immigrants. The greatest number ar
irving in one year heretofore was L.

natures in the presence Of the mediat-

hoped to restore peace in Mexico. The
agreement as to the manner of trans

to the new provisional government
stood the acid test OF reduction to
writing it provides that:
Provisional Government.
A government is to be constituted
in Mexico of a character to be later
provided, which shall be recognized by
the United States on (date to be fixed)
and which from that day forward shall
exercise public functions until there
shall be inaugurated constitutional
president. All parties now are con-
centrating on the second part of the
peace plan which relates to the name
of the provisional president and pos
sibly will include his cabinet of four.
AS to Constitutionalist Mediators.
The question OF COnStltutlonallSt
representation here is still an open
one. The mediators say they will not
officially admit the Carranza dele
gates unless they agree to an arms
tice 1t is not doubted though that
some way may be found for the Constr

peace parleys after they arrive

can mediation that cabinet members
