San Francisco — That the Pullman

the traveling public, wa» the declara­
tion of I’rcsidcnt Eahelinan, of the

“Peraonally I would not be op|>o«ed

charged, if the proceeda were applied
to paying the company'» employe» a

“Though It 1» not within the pro­
vince of thi» commission,'’ said Presi­
dent Eshclman, “to have anything to
do with the rate of wages paid to the
employes of any corporation, we are
convinced that much of the trouble of
the Pullman company la due to the
fact that it doe» not pay sufficient ,
wages to it» employe» and virtually
compels them to make a living by get­

the practices of the company and
theae, or many of them, go back to
the necessity of it» employe» to dig a
living wage from the public.
“I am even prepared to aay that if
the Pullman company would raise its
wage scale and do away with the
abuses of the tipping system, thia
commission would be willing to listen
to an increase In rates. As they are
now operated, the man who rides in
Pullman cars is unable to obtain any
service unless he pays extra for it,"

city at 8:30 o’clock in the morning.
The
attacking Constitutionalists

ings not razed by shell were leveled
by the torch. Victoria has a popula­
tion of 15,000.

Washington, D. C.—The Washing­
ton government believe« the power of
the Huerta government
is slowly
“crumbling and disentegrating.”
No positive step« have been taken
by the administration here within the
last few day» to compel a compliance
with the demand for the elimination
of Huerta.
No preparation» have
been made for « blockade of Mexican
ports.
Foreign interest« generally will be
protected by the United States.
At
Tuxpam, in particular, especial effort
will be made to protect British inter­
ests pending the arrival of the British
cruisers. The sending of the British
ship» is in line with previous notifica­
tion to the United States and is re­
garded as a normal move taken in
emergencies such as exists at Tux­
pam. It is intended to have a sober­
ing effect on those Constitutionalist
officers who, according to office re­
ports, have announced their hostility
to English interests.
Landing of marines haa not been
found necessary and no instructions to
that effect have been sent, nor has
there been any request for such in­
structions.
In the meantime Admiral
Fletcher will be expected to take
whatever steps he deems necessary to
protect all foreign interests.
The parley» with the Constitutional­
ists have been carried on in no formal
way, but merely for informative pur­
poses.
The administration, though not con­
doning the inhumanity of the armed
strife generally in Mexico, is inclined
to view with some complacency the re­
prisals by Constitutionalists and Fed­
eral« on those officers or men who
have been deserting from side to aide.
These salient faeta were obtained

WILSON WILL NOT
HOLD RECEPTION
White House to Be Closed On
New Year’s Day.
All Precedents Shattered and Much
Criticism Follows—President
to Take Ten Days* Rest
Washington, D. C.—President Wil­
son has decided not to hold a public re­
ception in the White Houae on New
Year’a Day. In this he has shattered
a custom cherished of the people and
has done away, temporarily, at any
rate, with the one chance of the year
for all people, irrespective of race, re­
ligion or color, to see the inside of the
executive mansion and to shake hands
with the President. It is announced
that during the holiday recess of con­
gress the President will take a 10-day
vacation.
That the decision of Mr. Wilson not
to receive the people on the holiday
will be resented in Washington is cer­
tain. The color question, just now a
thorny one to the administration, en­
ters into the ease.
Negro men and
women in large numbers every year
have seized the opportunity to get into
the White House and to see the Presi­
dent. They will say that this is a de­
velopment of the Democrat»’ segrega­
tion scheme.
The different civic and military or­
ganizations always have attended the
New Year’s receptions in bodies. The
Grand Army and Sons of Veterans, the
Loya) Legion and other societies have
made it a marked day. The one chief
thing, however, to cause resentment
will be the shutting out from the
White House on the holiday occasion
of the ordinary man and the ordinary
woman, who at semi-public receptions
cannot get inside the palings of the
White House fence.
The President will go South to some
quiet place where he can play golf and
enjoy the seclusion and privacy of
which he is so fond when on a vaca­
tion.

San Diego, Cal.—“We are as mer­

“We are as merchandise, bought
