Russian Minister.
tsY .ssee,ATE5 psEss,


NEW YORK. Sept 26.-Before sal
ing for Glasgow on his. way 70 Retro
grad aboard the Olympic today Alex
ander De Stalogsky, Russian minister
to Mexico, spoke freely On conditions
in that country as he said ne had
found them.
.Mexico is withou. a government
and practically IN a stat. of anarchy, Z
he said. with the exception OF the
state OF Yucatan whecc some SEM
b1ance OF order is still mainta ned :
is unsafe for a person TO travel IN
Mexico. The bar.ds Of brigan6s that
rob, burn and rillage rs they please
without interference from the authori-
ties are the cause of all the trouble.
There is no interference from the ma
tional authorities simply because there
is no national government worth mem
tioning.
'"The United States should not with
draw its troops from Vera Cruz. From
what I was able to observe there is no
prospect that stable government may
be established in Mexico. Carranza
is an able political chief but he cam
not compare with Villa as leader of
men / am frank to state that condi-
lions in Mexico today are not one-half
as good as they were during the reign
of Huerta."

TR AFFlC HOARD FINDS
SITUATION YER z GOOD
SHIPMENTS Are Regular and
Prompt and New Scales Are
to Be Installed Here.

There are approximately one hun
dred manufacturers and wholesale
shippers of considerable magnitude IN
.Clarks burg, whose interests are being
fostered as much as possible by tue
traffic bureau of the board or trade,
which held a meeting at the board OF
trade headquarters last evening. Quite
a number of shippers met with the
executive committee Of the trafhc bu-
reau and railroad representative,
and various matters were discussed
with profit to those present.
1t would appear from evidence pre-
scented that the new routing of cars
containing L. C. L. merchandise ship
ments from Pittsburg via Councils
Vile and Fairmont since early In Au-
gust, instead of via Wheeling and Ben
wood as heretofore, has proved very
satisfactory, and this business seems
to be uniformly on time reaching here
the day following shipment and ready
for delivery the next morning.
Agent Wells calls especial atten-
ton to the new scales being installed,
which viii be ready for use within
another thirty days. These scales are
so located as to greatly facilitate
switching and weighing. and it is our
Intention to request the installation OF
a Bell phone at the new scales in
order that the shippers may secure
advice as 10 weights in the prepara-
ton of their bills of lading
In order that greater efforts might
be centered on the Improvement or
service where vexatious delays have
been occurring, it has been arranged
that reports of such shipments when
so requested will come directly TO
this Office and shippers are asked TO
notify the secretary should the move
mont of oars seem llnreasonably slow.
1t was suggested by Chairman
Harding that the several shippers and
manufacturers in similar or Identical
lines of business get together. dis
cuss their traffic problems and sub.
nit to this bureau such matters as lin
their. judgment could reasonably be
improved
The executive. committee will hold
its regular meeting again In two
weeks. Friday, October .. and one
month from last evening. Friday. DC
tober 23-another general meeting
of the shippers will be called.
In many ways local business inter
ests are sharply in competition with
individuals and firms may vie with
each other In efficiency of business
methods, but on the question of trans
portation and rates all are on abso-
IUtely the same basis. and the discuss
sion OF many vexatfous problems rel-
alive to these matters furnish COM
mon ground upon which all should
get together to their great profit. Bear
In mind always that railroad rep
resentatives is present at all these
meetings to hear grievances and
ready to take up, with g view OF tm-
provement, any reasonable demands
