RAIL WAYS WILL
Get INCREASE
Petition for Higher Rates
Partly Successful.
REPLY OF COMMISSION

''sS' S@S>S Ny S~yo S0u'S a'th .
Are Too Low, but Adds That In
efficient and Extravagant Manage
ment Is Very Apparent.
Chicago, June 1.-THE Herald in a
Washington dispatch says it is in po-
sition to forecast that the salient
points OF the decision of the inter
state commerce commission on the
petition of the railroads of the East
ern division of the country for
per cent increase in rates will be:
First-The commission will deny
the application for a fiat increase of
5 per cent
Second-However, it will grant in.
creases ranging from 1 to 5 per cent
and perhaps higher on commodities
now transported below cost.
Third-It will decline to make ad.
vances on certain other commodities.
Fourth-The public will be en-
phatically warned that the increases
ordered do~not justify any advance in
the prices of food or other necessi-
ties.
Fifth-The railroads will be de-
nounced for engaging in gigantic
conspiracy to create a public senti-
ment in favor of the per cent in
crease and against the commission.
1t is not believed the commission
will he able to report much before a
month.
Two Questions Considered.
The questions which the commission
was forced to consider were:
Do the railroads need more money
in order to perform the duties Of COM
mon carriers?
Should it be found that they need
more money, is it because of made
Guate rates or inefficient management
or because of discrimination in the in
terest of big shippers and favored To-
calities?
The first question the commission
will answer partly in the affirmative.
The second question the commission
will answer in this fashion:
Some rates are too low There is
no doubt of inefficient and extrava-
CANT management.
The commission rejected some time
ago the proposal for a general in
crease in rates of per cent 1t was
considered that this would be un.
fair, because some railroads do not
need the advance

MEDIATION
A FIASCO
Both Sides Imposing ImpOS-
Sible Conditions For
Peace.
VILLA DEFIES CARRANZA.
Strong Hand of Uncle Sam
Again Appears Only
Adequate Remedy.

Niagara Falls, Ont. June IT,
Justice Lamar and Frederick w.
Lehman, the American delegates to
the mediation conference, went to
Buffalo yesterday and talked for
four hours with Rafael Zubaran and
Louis CABRERA, personal representa-
tives of General Carranza. Their
purpose was to find some way to
bring the constitutionalists in har-
mony with the scope of mediation.
The mission was a failure.
The constitutionalists representa-
tives who had came from Washing
ton especially to see the American
delegates, told them why they uld
not agree to an armistice; that
only man prominent in the consti-
nationalist ranks could be accepted
by them for the provisional presi-
dency, and finally they said they be-
lieved the constitutionalist army
would settle the Mexican problem
soon if left unhampered by foreign
complications,
The Americans returned to Mia
CARA Falls feeling that so far as the
political pacifcation Of Mexico is
concerned mediation had accom-
plished nothing, and probably the
end of the conferences was very
near.
The next full conference is set for
Friday. Until then little will be
done because of the absence of Min
lister Naon of Argentine.
Most of the principals here incline
to the view that Fridays session
may be the last virtually, and have
abandoned hope o. solving Mexico's
internal problems. The Huerta del
egates are resolute in their determi-
nation not to accept constitutional
list partisan for the provisional pres
idency, and there appears no feasible
way of keeping all elements in con-
ference much longer. Only devel-
opments not now foreseen, such as a
change of altitude on the part of
the constitutionalists Of the Huerta
I delegates. con keep the conference
in session.
| Dispatches of the forcible seizure
by Villa official of the telegraph
office at Juarez, held previously by
Carranza officials, created a stir in
the mediation colony. The Huerta
delegates said it plainly showed the
correctness of their repeated warn
ings that lack Of cohesion in the
/ constitutionalist ranks would lead to
anarchy in the north. The news
served also to confirm suspicious
current in many quarters here of a
breach between Villa and Carranza,
incidentally it is understood the
American delegates inquired of Ca
bera and Zubaran what they thought
of the stories of a split between Villa
and Carranza. The constitutionalist
emissaries said they had confidence
in General Carranza's tact and abili-
ty to smooth out such difficulties.
The gravest apprehension, never
theless, is felt here of what may fol-
low a break between Carranza and
Villa. Should their forces clash, a
condition of anarchy might ensue
which in all probability would arouse
again the demand for armed inter-
, vention by the United States.
