ROADS MUST CHECK
BAGGAGE THROUGH
Must Also Sell Parlor Car
Seats on Combination
Tickets
ABROGATE PROPOSED
RAILROAD INNOVATION

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Aug. H.
The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in a decision affecting a great
volume of passenger traffic, particu-
larly in the east and north central
States to the south. abrogated the pro-
posed rules Of railroads which would
have prohibited the through check
ing Of baggage and sale of through
parlor or sleeping car tickets on COM
bination tickets used in connection
with Joint fares from junction points.
For years travellers from New York,
Philadelphia. Baltimore and other
trunk line territory going 70 points in
the south and southeast have checked
baggage through to destination and
have secured through Pullman car
accommodations on combinations Of
tickets good only TO and from the
gateways to southern and southeast
ern territory The Pennsylvania and
Baltimore and Ohio railroads propos-
ed to abolish the practice for protec-
ton of their Joint fares to conserve
their revenues.
The rules we're to apply TO combina-
lions Of all forms OF tickets issued by
the roads and by their southern con-
nections to and from the gateways in
volved, but mostly were to apply to
combinations involving the use Of
mileage books Of southern railroads
or Southern Passenger Association in
terchangeable mileage exchange or
ders. which effect lower fares than the
published Joint through fares
The railroads contended that the
real purpose of mileage books and re-
duced rate tickets is TO provide lower
fares within defined and limited ter
ritories" and they are not intended for
use in combination with tickets issued
by other lines to defeat REASONABLE
Joint fares They claim that their use
in combination tends sooner or later
to force joint fares down to the COM
bination rates.
Retail merchants. chambers OF com
merce and travellers in the south and
east protested against the inconven-
fence of detraining at Washington and
other southern gateways, to rechech
baggage and secure Pullman accom-
modations for the remainder of theil
journey.
The commission held that no rail.
road receiving equivalent of its full
local fare 10 the junction. whatever
the character Of transportation &C.
cepted by the connecting line, may
( lawfully withhold provision for in
cidental services universally in de
mand. Commissioner Harlan dis
: scented from this opinion, saying the
majority action permits evasions o
the through fare.

It is worth a visit even though the

II German troublemaking continues Americans
will begin to believe that there is truth in the
weird tales current in Europe about the methods
of German diplomacy. There number OF
things that require explanation 1t would be in
teresting to know what are the secret activities OF
DR.. Dernburg. He has plainly avowed his
contempt for our intelligence that there is good
reason for supposing him to be little less than
scrupulous. 1t would be interesting, too, to know
the full activities of Capt. Boyd and how far
they can be squared with our neutrality. 1t would
be well if clearer accounts were given of Mr..
Hammerling's activities in the publishers Offices
of the foreign-language press We should like to
know who nominated Emperor William and En-
peror Francis Joseph for municipal Office in Chi
eago. More might be said about the abuse Of
American passports. There are explanations to
be made concerning the so-caed "harbor plot"
at New York. Suspicion is easy and dangerous,
and when directed against another government
it should never be cast lightly. But the circum-
stantial evidence is rather damaging. There seems
be concerted attempt to split apart the people
Of this country into two hostile camps. If German
officials countenance that, they are committing a
very subtle crime They are attacking the popu-
lar foundations Of our gcvernment. Il is piece
Of work which il viii be difficult for US to forgive.

Huerta Coming to Washington.

Gen. Nictoriano Huerta is coming to Wash
ngton and, it is announced, will try to see the
President At limitations come from those
who think they know the Presidents mind, that
Huerta will not be welcome at the White House
The President, of course, has authorized no such
announcement, IN advance OF a request from
Huerta for audience Any conclusion that
President Wilson will refuse to receive Huerta is
therefore hasty and without present Justification
This government never recognized Huerta as
president of Mexico and. it is true was never on
friendly terms with him. 1t cashed with him
frequently because hostilites in Mexico menaced
this countrys interests, sent fleet to humble
him and finally chiefly instrumental in drv-
ing him from Mexico. But it must be remem-
bercd that representatives of the government of
the United States and personal representatives of
President Wilson negotiated with Huerta during
long period and found him more amenablc to
reason than any of his enemies or successors in
the presidential office, except possibly with re-
gard to the somewhat mysterious flag incident at
Vera Cruz 1t cannot be forgotten, either, that
while Huerta ruled at Mexico City American life
and property was safeguarded, and in the riotous
days preceding his departure it was his iron will
and hand that prevented the populace from
wreaking vengeance upon people. This coun-
try holds black record against Villa and Car
rama for murder and. robbery of foreigners in
the territory occupied by their armies, but none
against Huerta.
Huerta has saluted the American flag and the
American people of times, through his
interpreter. since he arrived in New York; and,
what is also important, it is said he is on the
water wagon. He is in fact reformed and
chastened Indian. His intellectual power has
never been questioned and he knows more about
Mexico. probably. than any man living The
President can hardly afford to forego the oppor-
tunity to confer with him; he may learn some
thing to the advantage OF his government Ten
to one if Huerta appears at the White House, hat
in hand and in proper spirit of humility, he win
