TRAINS PACKED
AS HIGH RATES
co INTO EFFECT.
Travellers Take Advantage
of Last Day Before Cost
Goes Up; Freight Move
ment Also Heavier.

1t costs more to travel today.
That goes whether you are going
de luxe Or in a cattle car.
Both freight and passenger rates
went up just after midnight We'd
nesday.
pullman rates went up almost
out of sight. it costing Just nan
as much again to travel with the
convenience of a berth.
There has never been a day in
the history of Albuquerque when
there was more travel than yester-
day. according to employees at the
Santa Fe station. This was be-
cause it was the last day when the
old rates were effective, all begin
ming Journeys before midnight get
ting the old fare. Those leaving
after midnight paid the 20 per cent
increase.
Pullman space was sold out long
before Wednesday by reservations
many days ahead, hundreds who
had planned trips for September
advancing to date so as to get adj
vantage of the lower rate.
Every train that has left Albu-
ouerque in the past week has been
well filled, according to the ticket
agents, but yesterday there was
standing room only for those
that were late.
The effect of the movement in
freight was not so noticeable, al
though the shipments in and out
were heavier than ordinarily. The
increase in freight shipments will
be noticeable for the next couple
of weeks, it was explained, be-
cause much freight was started to
Albuquerque today from points all
over the country. These last min
ute shipments. with which freight
offices all over the country are
crowded, will not begin to arrive
for several days.

Washington, Aug, 25.-Anti-suf !
frage forces received another set |
back today when Justice Siddons of
the District Of Columbia supreme
court refused to issue "a show

State Colby preliminary to the is
suance of an injunction to restrain
him from proclaming the mne-l

der would have required Mr.. Colby
TO SHOW cause why the injunction
should not be issued. The action
was brought by Charles S. Fair
childs, an official of the American
constitutional league, on behalf of
himself and the organization.
No further effort would be made
to prevent the issuance of the proc
lamation, Alfred b. smith, attorney
for Mr. Famchilds said.
The official certification of Ten

Mr. Smith said that he sun
hoped to obtain a decision before
the November elections. If, how

to the supreme court it could MOI

meeting OF the court in October
with little likelihood that decision
would be reached before election
day. In that event, it was pointed
out the women of the country le-

the result that, should the supreme

ASK POLAND To
STATE ATTITUDE
ON EXP ANs|0N

fsY hoRNiko Journal SPECIAL lsHstp ~'Nh'
Washington, Aug. 25.--PolandI
has been formally requested by the
United States government 20 lssue
to the world n declaration OF hef
intention to abstain from any ter
ritorial aggression against Russia.
Formal announcement that
communication embodying such q
request had been forwarded to the
Warsaw government was made to-
day by the state department IN the
following statement:
TT was admitted at the stave
department today that a communi-
cation had been sent to the Polish
government on August Il express
ing the hope that the Polish gov
eminent would find 1t agreeable TO
issue declaration of its intention
to abstain from any territorial ag-
erosion against Russia and stat
ing its purpose to remain within
the boundaries indicated by the
peace conference, pending an
agreement as to its eastern from
tier" ~
Representations Made. H
That representations of some
sort had been made to Poland re-
garding the continuation of her
counter stroke against the soviet
forces beyond her natural frontiers
was made known by officials early
in the week.
State department officials added
to the formal announcement the
statement that informal assuf-
ances had been received from the
Polish government that the wishes
of the American government as
expressed both in the recent note
to the Italian ambassador and in
the communication of last Sataur-
day would be respected. The
American government. it was stat
ed. had been assured that the
Polish armies in their victorious
counter offensive would not at
tempt to convert the operations
into an aggressive warfare against
Russia.
Have Already Crossed Line.
Polish troops on some parts OF
the bolsheyik front already have
crossed the line laid down as Po-
lands frontier by the supreme
council, but officials intimated
that it was not the purpose of the
United States to check the opera
tons Of the Polish army so long
as they were of defensive char
acter. Rather, it was said, the
communication was dictated by the
desire to prevent Poland from put
ting herself by aggressive warfare
in a position where she might be
criticised for obvious encroach-
ment upon Russian territory. 1T is
expected by officials that once the
Russian army is put y rout de-
cisively Poland will prove her good
faith by a withdrawal to the line
tentatively fixed by the supreme
Ilcouncil.

rapid restoration of normal activities
and IN part to the development of new
business. marked feature OF the
1919 trade was the slight loss felt by
the closing down Of so-called war in
dustres. The after effects of the war
as shown in the higher prices of ali
farm products, have placed the farming
communities IN prosperous condition,
reactlng favorably upon all the indus

JEWELRY-Fine Diamonds
Sought by Al NntiOns

Fine diamonds are in demand all
over the world. Although at present
the United States leads all the other
nations as n purchaser Of high grade
stones, the demand from India, France,
Italy, Germany and even Russia is so
great that the cutters Of Europe would
be able to dispose Of their finer quail
ties at unusually high prices even if
American importers should step out
Of the market
Many local manufacturers and deal
ers are Of the opinion that if the United
States should hold off its purchases OF
fine diamonds for several months prices
would have to come down. According
to a we'll known authority in the trade,
however, this conclusion is not true to
facts. Fine, "clean" diamonds, it is
pointed out, are in such great demand
that the American buyer is often
treated with Indifference and finds a
take it or leave it, attitude OIL the
part of the foreign cutters.
All business now being transacted in
the foreign gem markets is done on a
spot cash basis. Even few Of the
large American importers who formerly
were able to buy on liberal credit
basis are now forced to pay on delivery
The foreign cutters, importers say, do
not seem to realize that it was the
American merchants who were the
heaviest purchasers Of diamonds while
the war was in progress and that it
was they who kept the diamond cutting
industry busy
