Washington, Aug. 2.-"Reasons re-
quiring an increase of interstate rates
are very persuasive on the need for
increase in intrastate rates.. declared
a report sent to various state railway
commissioner by tnree representa-
tiyeS of these commissions who sat
at the Interstate Commerce Cpmrlis-
sion's public hearing on the $1,000, 600
railroad rate increase case
L ".When matters are considered" :"
said the report, and remembering
that there where thirteen men are con-
sidering contraverted questions on
proposed policies their differences OF
opinion must be, composed or r&decided
by the majority, we believe that the
conclusions, considering all things is
just and fair and we give it our ap-
proval. The increase in rates per-
mitted under ruling "a will probably
go into effect September l, 1920. The
operating, revenue of the railroads un-
der present rates and conditions are
recognized by all persons as insuffici-
ent. A part of the responsibility to
meet the situation rests upon the state
commissions. Such increases as will
be made in intrastate rates should, II
possible, be effective September l.,
1920"
Sat in Conference
The report is signed by William A.
Ainey, chairman of the Public Service
Commission Of Pennsylvania, Royal
Dunn, of the Florida railroad commits
sion and John Guyher, of the Iowa

VILLA GETS A ].
LARGE REWARD
TO SURRENDER
Bandit Given ''Pleasing Finan-
cial Guarantees" Farms and
Men a Years Pay

Eagle Pass, Texas, Aug. 2.-Fran-
cisco Villa, bandit idol of the Mexican
peon, and for years menace to gov
ernments of his country throughout
Northern Mexico, is entrained tonight
with his men for Torreon, there to
take the first actual steps looking to
his sentence once more to private
Mexican citizenship, a consequence of
his negotiations with the De La Huer-
ia government, concluded at Sabinas
early today.
Advices reaching here from Sabinas,
which contain this information, told
also the terms under which the bandit
agreed, in the words of General Eu-
genio Martinez, commander of the
Torreon military zone, to submission
to the De La Huerta government in
recognition of it's stability and his de-
sire to retire to private life and abide
by the laws of the government
Z. Called Patriotic Act.
Under these terms, advices state,
Villa is to be allowed a years army
pay for all his soldiers, and permitted
to 90 with them to Torreon, under
personal escort, where the conditions
of the terms will be effected. The
band will number about 1900, it is
said. At Torreon the men are to be
mustered out" of Villas service and
each allotted tract of land on which
to engage in farming. Villa, too, it is
said, has been given very pleasing
financial guarantees.
U. 8. May Ask ExtraditiOn.
Washington, Aug. 2.-Recognition
of the new lMexicon government by
the United States, in the opinion of
Mexican observers here, has been
brought measurably nearer by the sur
render of Francisco Villa
The status of Villa, as far as the
United States is concerned, however, is
not changed greatly. The bandit lead
err is under indictment charged with
the killing of soldiers and civilians at
Columbus, N. NJ. in 1916, and the
placing of himself under the laws of
his own country may mean that his
extradition will be sought. In such
contingency the Mexican government
might be afforded fresh embarrass-
ment.

Increases Granted by Commerce
Commission Add Bill to N.
D. Shippers
ALSO ASK STATE RAISE
Railroad Plea for Similar In
crease for State Would Add
More Than Million

North Dakota's Interstate freight
rate bill will be increased more than
sl0,0O0,OO0 annually by the 35 per cent
increase granted by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Figures compiled by V. E. Smart,
traffic expert of the state railroad COM
mission show that on the basis of the
gross earnings of the railroads doing
an interstate business with North Da-
kota shippers for the year ending
1919, the exact increase would be
$1O,S69. 1861 annually. sSss
The increase granted by the Inter-
state Commerce Commission, announ-
ced Saturday afternoon, was IS per
cent on freight rates for the western
terr'torv to be effective on five days
notice by the carriers and not later
tnan September l.
State Plea
Railroads operating in North Dakota
have petitions before the state rail
road commission for increases in in.
trastate freight rates commensurate
! with the increase granted by the In
terstate Commerce Commission. A
hearing is set for Aug. II.
If the railroad commission should
grant IS per cent increase on freight
rates in NorthDakota, shippers would
have added to their bills, on the basis
of the earnings of the roads for the
year ending 1919, total of $1,012,-
4T76.
Shippers To Be There
Shippers are expected to be repre-
sented at the hearing before the state
railroad commission, when the in
crease petition is presented.
The total freight rate bill of the
state of North Dakota for the year
1919 was $33,947611.37. The gross
earnings on intrastate and interstate
freight traffic of the main railroads
operating in the state for the year 1919
