Announcement Is Promised.

The only word that came from the
" White House was that an important an
n"uncenent would be made at :, pm to-
day. White House officials declined to
divulge its nature.
There Is every reason to believe that
under the authority of the joint resolu-
lion OF March IA. 1872, President Wilson
viii continue to exercise discretionary
power in issuing permits for the expor-
tation of arms SO that they may not fall
into the hands of irresponsible bands So
far as possible only the military chiefs
on both sides in the Mexican revolt will
obtain the munitions OF war. though ex-
actly how that will be done had not Yet
been worked out.
The Presidents decision was reached
after many months of careful study OF
the arms problem, and while in the frs,
instance the belief OF the administration
was that the deniai Of arms was a hu-
name act, the conviction has grown upon
the Washington government that its pol-
Icy has operated uueIual!y toward the
warning factions

Results in Partially.

News OF the action about to be taken
by President Wilson became known to-
daY through sources which have been
constantly advised of the administration S
policy in Mexico. 1t also became known
that thu subject had been discussed at
the cabinet meeting today.
There were intimations that an official
amour cement of the administration 5
purpose would be coming from the White
House later
1t is believed that President Wilson
finally decIded to rais. the enbar rgo
after being convinced that by restrict
ing shipments of arms TO Mexico the
trifed States was not really showing
neutrality. which was the purpose. of
the embargo. but was. in fact. showing
psrti&lity. the Huerta forces We're
enabled to get large supplies from
abroad. while the constitutionalists.
limited almost entirely to shipments
from the United States. could get arms
aud ammunition practically only by
smuggling.
II has been frequently represented to

the Mexican negotiations that if the Unit
cd states would permit free shipments of
arms ta Cen CarranZa the constitutional
isis would undertake to restore peace in
Mexico and set up a constitutional gov

Is Charged.
ALSO DISCRIMINATES
AGAINST SMALL SHIPPER
Commissioner Harlan of l. C. C. An
nounces Hearings Will Be Held
on Question of Charges.

Another new development was thrown
today into the freight rate case before
the interstate commerce commission
in which the fifty-two eastern rail
roads are seeking to advance their
charges per cent. when Commissioner
Harlan announced that the commits
sion intended to hold supplementary
hearings on the question of fixing rea-
sonable charges for free services rail-
road systems now perform for large
industrial plants.
The recent decision in the industrial
railways. case indicated that such free
services to so-called trusts not only
cost the railroad Systsm about $15.-
100000 year. but Disseminated
against smaller industries
Net Income Reduced.
Commissioner Harlan in formal state
ment pointed out that the evidence so
far submitted tended to show "a dimin-
lShing net revenue and diminishing net
income for the railroads The new rates
proposed by the roads. he said, made pos
sible advances ranging from :: to ~ per
cent. Increased rates probably would af
ford additional revenues.
The commission. however. has set for
itself I, broader inquiry i'll the proceed
ing" said he. If the revenues are shown
to be Inadequate, what general course
may carriers pursue TO meet the situa-
tom
Reviews Free Services.
After reviewing the free services dis
closed in the recent decision and their cost
to the railroads. the commissioner con-
cIuded by saying:
The propriety of discontinuing the
performance of these sepcial services
without charge is manifestly matter
that should receive immediate considera-
ton. = must not be understood that /
am announcing any definite views for
the commission on this question of free
services. what | have said is simply
desires light. What | intend to make
clear is that the commission must nee
essariiy look at the case from all points
of view in order that we may be i'll Z
justice to the general shipping public as
well as to themselves. the carriers may
pursue to meet the situation should ad-
ditional revenues be needed"
Discrimination Charged.
Discrimination by the Pennsylvania
railroad in rates on bituminous coal in
favor of the keystone Coal and Coke
Company and the Jamison Coal and
Coke Company, both of the Greensburg
district as against the Pittsburgh Coal
Company. was charged by IL T. McCue,
traffic manager of the latter company.
Mr.. McCue declared that the rates on
coal moving west Were SO arranged
that the Keystone and Jamison com
panies received the benefit of through
rates whereas on bituminous coal NOV
ing east, the Pittsburgh Coal Company
was cut off from similar benefit by a
line which the company had drawn
between the Greensburg and the Pitts
burgh fields.

Details as to Safety.

The convention goes into great de-
tail on the subject Of safety Of life at
sea. 1t first takes up the construction
of ships along stancher lines than at
present; it provides rules for more
careful navigation and demands better
equipment for steamships engaged IN
passenger traffic.
Its exact language has not been mace
public but it became known today that
among the requirements will be more
watertight compartments. higher buih-
heads extending these compartnchts
to higher decks. sufficient llfeboat ana
liferaft equipment to care Tor all pas
sengers. wireless on all steamships an.
a continuous watch by operators.
Wireless apparatus shall have at
least 250-mile radius and storage
batteries must be provided to take
care of the wireless in case of injury
or flooding of steamers engine room.
Lifeboat Provisions.
On the subject of lifeboats the con-
vention is most specific. Every passenger
ship must carry three tlifeboatmen"
for the smallest size boat and when
motor boats are used men trained to
run them must be employed. The con-
yention permits lifeboats that will
carry 210 persons, but il is not be-
lieved that they will be found prac-
ticaL 1t was pointed out today iha.
the principal argument against such
large boats was the fact that il one
is destroyed it would at once put an
extraordinary demand for space on the
other boats.
Another feature Of the convention is
the demand for safer navigation on the
high seas. 1t provides for slower speeds
at night and will force the big trans
atlantic companies to steer away from
the iceberg regions where the Titanic met
her fate in times when such bergs are to
be found.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1914-02-03
Appeals to Business.

The convention is to make an appeal to
the business instincts of the steamship
companies by providing that vessel
which furnishes more safety than It de-
mands shall be given some sort of mark
of honor on its certificates. 1t is expect
ed that most lines will take advantage of
this and use the honor mark for adverts-
ing purposes.
The convention declares that a ship is
a passenger ship if it carries twelve per-
sons in addition to its crew. If eleven.
it is a freighter. Ships which do not
comply with its terms will be parahs in
the ports of the world ana will not be
permitted to sail.

Many Accompany Husbands.


Scores of business women on their way

early. Many accompanied their hus-
bands to the places of registration and
all seemed pleased at the opportunity of

In some of the strictly residential
