discussion. Senator Norris OF Nebraska
explained the provisions of his bill

declared, for associations of farmers to

DESERT|ONS TO VILLA
Constitutionalist Agency Gets
Long Telegram From the
First Chief"

z. Zubaran Capmany, head of the con
agency in WASHINGTON re
ceived the following telegram today fror
Carranza:
1t is false that 1000 troops at Leon
and 5000 at Irapuate deserted to
Villa. In accordance with my orders,
our troops have withdrawn to the
south in furtherance Of the end OF
our military campaign. Leon, Guerra
taro, and Guanajuato have been evac-
uated without a struggle. We have
had no important engagement with
the enemy as yet; this has also been
in accord with our stragetic plans.
1t is false that the Zapatistas have
taken Puebla. On the contrary, Gen.
c.. Castro completely defeated them
at Chelula. I have at this moment
been informed that General Maycot-
tee took Tfaxcala yesterday after
noon, the enemy suffering a loss of
400 killed Many prisoners were
taken, together with two cannon.
eight machine guns, and some NUM-
tions of war.
l have also just received the news
that Maytorena troops made seven
hour assault upon General Callen az
Aqua Drieta, and were repulsed with
a loss Of 200 killed. We took 300
prisoners.
1t is not true that the Brazilian
minister offered to General Obre-
gon to mediate the present difficult
ties. Generals Saucede and Men
chsca have just issued a joint state
ment pledging their loyalty to the
government and accusing Villa as be-
ing responsible for the new troubles.
They score the convention for violat-
ing the armistice and allowing Villa
to remain at the head of his troops
thus ridiculing the acts of the con-
vention.
l can assure you that the nation is
with US. and that each day the ranks
of the army are being augmented by
new recruits.

BAT TIE STARTSON
WESTERN FRE|GHTS
Sweeping Advances Asked by
RoadS-Some Rates In
creased One Third.

The Interstate Commerce Commission
is face to face with another gigantic
| rate fight over the proposed general in
crease OF freight rates by all railroads
in Western classification territory In
| addition, the commission has before it
hundreds of tariffs increasing passen-
ger fares. both East and West.
A tremendous fight on the Western
rates already he's developed, with hun
| dreds sf pSotsste cemine in from ship
pcrs and traffic organizations.
The most significant action, however,
is the joint protest against the increas-
es filed by the State railroad commits
sioners of fifteen Western States. These
officials are girding for a bitter fight.
They have asked the commission to
suspend the increases pending a hear
ing. and they are amassing statistics
for vigorous fight.
Three Great Fights Pending.
The commission now has pending be-
fore 1t, the three greatest rate fights
ever presented for consideration.
During its many Years of existence
the commission has heretofore had be-
fore 1t only isolated rate contests, in
creascs or adjustments on one line or
on one commodity, but 1t has before it
nc on every railroad in the United
states, except those operating in South
ern classification territory. That the
southern roads will follow. the lead Of
file new tariffs increasing freight rates
and passenger fares seems assured.
The Western roads did not confine
themselves to per cent increase. or
to any form Of horizontal raise in rates.
They filed new tariffs, making sweeping
chAnEpl IN
alleged to be as great as SO 1-3 per cent
Without exception these increases have
teen protested and hearings asked.
Livestock Men Protest.
Livestock associations throughout
the West and Southwest are preparing
To bitterly oppose increases in the live
stock rates. They allege that stock
shipments. which comprise but about .
Fer cent Of traffic. would have to pay
an additional s20.OOO,OOO a year to the
railroads, If the increases asked are
granted. These increases. they say, are
II some cases nearly % 1-3 per cent.
One high official OF the commission
who is struggling with the perplex:ties
OF conflicting interests, ruefInly declared
today: Its the hit dog that howls."
He pointed to Western interests that
came forward in the per cent case
with declarations that the railroads
should be allowed the increase because
IL was necessity, and who are now
loudly protesting against increases in
the West.
Nearly all of the railroads in Eastern
and Central Association territory have
filed tariffs increasing passenger and
communication fares. Although q flood of
protests is being received against these
increases. they probably will be allowed
by the commission. Some of them ara
effective December l. and no action to-
ward suspension has yet been taken
by the commission.
Probabilities are that the commission
viii settle the rehearing OF the ) per
cent rate case before taking up the !
broad question of Western rates Ai
decision is expected before the first Of |
