Railroads Deny Abolition of
Free Delivery Is Increase, as
Merchants Contend.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
is asked to dismiss the suit brought
by o. ]. De Mol & Co, Judd & Det-
weller. the Chamber Of Commerce and
the Retail Merchants Association in a
brief filed today by the Pennsy ylvania
and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
Companies
The complaints filed b. the Washing

tinuance OF store-door delivery by the
roads constituted an increase In the
rates. Combating this contention. Henry
". Bikle and William c. Coleman
counsel for the Pennsylvania and the
Baltimore & ohio respectively, assert
that delivery service at Washington
never constituted an essential incre-
ment in determining the rate. and that
the withdrawal of this service had no
effect on the rates.
1t Is contended in the brief that the
tarihs OF the roads have consistently
referred to it as a free service and that
the commissions orders in previous
cases indicated that II so regarded IL.
The evidence submitted by, the ship

Washington Gains
10000 in 4 Years
Census Estimate Indicates Population of 35337S by
July I, With Iowa Only State in the Union
Showing Falling Off Since 1910.

Washington has gained more than
1000 in population since the census of
1910 was taken. At this rate of in
crease the population on July l, 1914,
will be 3s,S7s. as compared with 33l. .06s
in 1910.
This was brought out today in a re-
port of the Census Bureau giving an
estimate Of the population OF the
United States and its leading cities
July l, 1914, based on the assumption
that the increase in population each
year since the enumeration Is equal
to the annual increase from 1900 to 1910.
According to this estimate, the United
States is now a country of 1900, coo
people. The population of the United
States and its possessions in 1910 was
lo1, 78, ,2eS, so there will have been an
estimated gain of 7,000,0 persons in a
little more than four years. The cor
responding estimated population of con-
tinental United States for July l, 1914
is ss,7s1,324, as compared with the pop
ulation of 9l,972.266 as returned by
enumerators, April Is, 1910

latton of 5,333,S37 in July. against

BARRETT PRAISES
PLAN OF MEDIATION
Pan-American Union Director
Believes Project viii Benefit
Western Nations.

The mediation plan accepted by the
United States through a proposal OF
the A. B. c. countries, is believed by
John Barrett. director general of the
Pan-American Union, to be bene-
fetal and far reaching In its effect
upon the American nations, even
though the negotiations should fail.
The idea Of mediation by the Amer
lean powers was suggested BY Mr..
Barrett . year ago. and follows out
the line proposed then. The moral
influence Of the A. B. c. countries can
not be overestimated. declares Mr..
Barrett, and even though Mexico
fails to adopt the suggested plans,
the idea Is considered to be far-reach-
ing in its effect upon South Ameri-
can powers.
TT Is especially gratifying to me-"
declared Mr.. Barrett today: because
ii is directly in line with what I pro-
posed a little over a year ago. and
which I believed, II accepted then,
would have solved the problem,
brought peace to Mexico and prevent
ed Intervention and war.
TT has always been my belief that
any difficulty arising between any
two American nations should and
would be settled through the kindly
mediation of some other American
nations"

The Senate Committee on Canals
will today complete the hearings on
the bill for repeal of canal tolls ex
emptions for American coastwise
shipping.
The committee will Immediately be-
gin to prepare a report on the bill.
The committee is closely divided. but
II is believed the bill will be report
ed adversely or will be amended SO
as to protect American rights under
the treaty.
The argument of former Senator
Foraker before the committee has
had weight. AS a member of the
Foreign Relations Committee when
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty was nego-
tiated. he was in position to afford
the committee much information. He
made II clear that the naturalization
of the canal referred TO its military
and not its commercial status.
II 10 expected discussion of the bill
in the Senate will begin soon.
