Yesterday President Tate Issued the following statement: "To All North Carolina Shippers: "I have just learned through the report as published in the Raleign News and Observer this morning that the proposal of the railroads as to reductions in freight rates Tor North Carolina does not in any sense inrlude or contemplate reductions either on commodities or class rates outbound, from which I infer that it is still the policy of the railroads to continue their unjust discrimina tions against the North Carolina shippers as heretofore. "We will doubtless be called to meet in conference with the gover nor at Raleigh on Tuesday next, the 12th, and I feel that it is highly Im portant to the forwarders as well as the receivers of freleht in Xortn Carolina to have a full representa tion at the Raleigh conference, and especially is it important that I be furnished before that date if possi ble with specific data as to discrim inatory freight rates on outbound business of every character. "Without commenting on the re port submitted to the governor ve terday, which proposes some few re ductions on inbound business. 1 do desire to say that the total d'sre gard in offering no relief on oi t bound business, to my mind shows conclusively that the railroads are determined to continue their unjust discriminations against the manufac turing interests of the state until ab solutely forced by legislative enact ment or otherwise to place us on a fair basis with our competitors tn adjacent territory. "Please do not fail to supply me wi'h the desired information i'a'.n v. eek "Respectfully. -FRED X. TATE, President... DOESN'T SUIT GASTONIA.

President T. L. Craig tonight declared that accord ing to his opinion the proposition made to the Corporation Commis sion by the railways doing business in this state will not help Gastonia to any appreciable extent and that as far as he is concerned he is op . posed o the acceptance of the prop osition. President Craig, Vice President A. C. Jones and Secretary J. W. Atkins conferred with Mr. Carraway for two hours this afternoon, during which time the proposed adjustment offered by the railroads was gone in to very carefully and at its conclu sion the president declared that to Gastonia' the proposdl means little or nothing. "This zone business does not suit us," said President Craig. "What -we want is to be in the zone in which Charlotte is located and that will be entirely satisfactory to us. I do not mean the reduction in freight rates w.hlch are now offered Charlotte would satisfy us. but I mean that we are willing to accept anything that Charlotte is satisfied with.

RELATIONS WITH MEXICO STRAINED I'nlted States Confronted by Most Delicate Situation in Its Relations With Mexico Since Revolution First Regan Wilson Says Repub licans Make It Hard to Handle A Rebuff Threatened Xo Action Till Unci Arrives in Mexico Cltj. The following extracts from an Associated Press dispatch sent ou: from Washington last night and appearing in this morning's papers hi of interest: The Ameiican Government tonight was confronted by what official Washington regarded as the mosr delicate situation in its relations with Mexico that has yet developed since armed revolution disturbed the peace of the Southern Republic. The threatened rebuff from the Huerta Administration to the mis sion of John Lind, personal repre sentative of President Wilson, en route to Mexico City to expound the hopes of the I'nlted States for a suspension of hostilities and an or derly constitutional election in Mer ico. drew from Senator Bacon, chair man of the Foreign Relations Com mittee, a declaration on the floor or the Senate today that the present situation was tbe "gravest in years, much graver than confronted us when the Cuban question was here." President Wilson realizes the gravity of the situation and niani-U-sted during the day his displeas ure at the attitude of some members of the minority party in Congress, ti lling callers that he believed cer tain Republicans were making It difficult for him to handU' the situa tion in a peaceful manner. On this account Mr. Wilson justi fied the strong and emphatic lan guage of Senator Bacon who. during a debate on the resolution of Sena tor Clark of Wyoming, Republican, demanding i' general investigation or Mexican affairs, had referred to trie resolution as "openly disrespectful and "flouting in the face of the Pres ident "while the latter was endeav oring to put into effect a peace policy. The resolution was finally ton ed off the day's calendar. President Wilson was unmoved by advices from Mexico City depicting the Huerta Government as inimical lo Mr. Lind's mission. He let it be known too. that so far as he was able to learn, there was not the slightest demand from the American people for intervention and declined to dis cuss alternatives that might be used in the event that the efforts of the American Government to help re store peace in Mexico were rejected. President Wilson and Secretary Bryan let It be known tonight thar nothing further would be done until Mr. Lind reaches Mexico City and of ficial confirmation of the reported attitude of the Huerta Government reached here. -His many friends are delighted to see Mr. W. L. Balthis able to oe out again after having been confin ed to his home about two weeks as a result of injuries sustained in a runaway accident. MISS A15ERNETHY IX CHARLOTTE.

Many people believe that a news paper falls together without work or concerted action or plan. Rev. Me l.eod. a Presbyterian minister at Pasadena, was of this opinion, and asked to be allowed to edit an edi tion of the Pasadena Star. The edi tor gladly accepted the opportunity to go fishing, and the minister tooK up his duties In the newsDaper of fice. This is how he felt when he found himself at the end of his task, which it must be said, had bees, done quite creditably: "My time Is almost up as I pen this last line: my hand is almost paralyzed; my brain Is befuddled and I am free to confess that I am right glad to vacate the holy spot. Such rush and riot and disarray. Such a jumble of potpourri: It strikes me as the effort to bring or der out of chaos, and to do it light ning quick. "I am reminded of the memora ble words: 'The earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the waters.' Never shall I criticise newspaper men more. I shall pray for them. They will have my heart's forbearance hence forth and forever. They are the -hardest worked, shortest lived, poor est paid brain workers on this weary old world of ours." J. W. Bailey, of Raleigh, was yes terday confirmed by the Senate as collector of internal revenue for the eastern district of North Carolina. FOR SALE: Emerson Electric mo tor, l-20th horse power.
