APPEAL AGAINST
I.C.G.PROBABLE
Texas Shippers Dissatis
fied With Decision m tne
Shreveport Eate Case.
Appeal by Texas shippers from the
decision of the interstate commerce
commission announced in Washing
ton Thursday which virtually affirms
the former decision of the commission
in the Shreveport-Texas rate case un-
doubtedly will be made to the United
States supreme court. This Is the
opinion of Andrew TV. Reeves
traffic manager of the chamber
of commerce expressed after reading
the decision of the commission Friday
morning. The ruling of the com-
merce commission according to Te-
ports received from Washington
makes no reduction of rates so far as
El Paso is concerned.
"It appears to me as if the inter-
state commerce commission ex-
pected to hsve the Shrveport Texas
rate case taken off Its hands by the
United States supreme- court" said
Mr. Reeves. "There is no doubt In my
mind but that the case -will be taken
to this tribunal Immediately."
Conflicts With Other Derisions.
The decision of the interstate com-
merce commission. Mr. Reeves pointed
out conflicts directly with two recent
decisions of the L'nlted States su-
preme court In similar cases. These

been taken In Chicago and elsewhere.
Under the eaptin "American War

ceived in this city says under an Am-
ster km date:
"It is reported from New York that
a barbed wire fence of over 1000 ki-
lometers in length has been drawn
around the docks and piers of New
York. This gigantic fence encircles
the whole of New York and also the
adjoining cities of Brooklyn. Hoboken
and Jersey CItv. No one is allowed to
pass through this fence without per-
mission especially no enemy alien.

are near the docks.

"This Is the point which Is of lnter-
st to El Paso shippers." said Mr.
Reeves. "For Instance whv does the
nmount nf the rne fmm El Paso to
Sierra Blanca effect Shreveport? If
Intrastate rates have an effect upon
interstate shipping then they may be
regulated bv the interstate commerce
commission. It is the contention of
shippers in El Paso and other Texas
cities that where local rates do not
afect Interstate commerpe. then the
local rates cannot be changed bv the
Interstate commerce commission."
Insist Its Power Statewide.
In the decision announced by the
interstate commerce commission
Thursday the reouest of assistant at-
torney general Nickels that the com-
mission limit the application of Its
rates to east Texas or to competitive
points between Shreveport and Texas
was refused. In its decision the
r.il.pl Mmtnlitlnn Insists that it
has power to fix rates in all parts of
Texas. So afr as it affects El Paso the
decision does not change the ruling
of the commission announced July 17.
1916. This decision resulted in sub-
stantial increases in rates on various
commodities shipped from El Paso to
Texa3 points.

For Saloons
Mayor Davis Willing To
Be Shown How lo
Reduce Number.
"It was my desire when the first
cleanup was started in El Paso to
have the districts in which saloons
could be operated confined to the
business district and in a much
smaller area than they now are but
I was advised by the city attorney
after he examined the law that the
districts in which saloons .could be
operated In the city of El Paso was
fixed by our fundamental law the
charter; and that could be changed
only by an amendment to the charter.
which Is accomplished by calling an
election for that purpose.
"However under the present law
elections for the amendment of char
ters cannot be called oftener than two
years so that this could not be accom-
plished by that means for some time
as we had a charter amendment elec-
tion about a year ago.
"Now. if any one will show me Just
bow to reduce the number of saloons
in our city I will act at once.

SHREVEPORT "RULING LIMITS
TEXAS STATE RATE MAKING
Washington D. C March 1. The
Interstate commerce commission. In
Its latest decision In the long pending
Shreveport rate case the text or
which was available today shows that
substantially little cnange tias been
made in the commission's original at-
titude that Texas state authorities
TT.av not deDress Intrastate rates un
duly since this condition would work
prejudice to Shreveport. La just
across the Texas line and make high-
er Interstate rates In commerce with
Texas cities.
The decision is of significance In
other states where there Is an issue
involving the question of whether
state railroad or public utilities com-
missions have the right to prescribe
lower rates on Intrastate traffic when
tbese rates damace the commerce of
cities in adjoining states near the
state boundary.
BAKERS MAY USE RYE
FLOUR UNTIL MARCH 31
Washington D. O March 1 Bakers
may continue to use rye flour as a
wheat flour substitute in Victory
bread until March 31. the food admin-
istration announced today In advis-
ing bakers to buy other wheat flour
substitutes.
The baking regulations Issued Feb-
ruary 1 the use of rye flour as a sub-
stitute was limited to tbe period end-
ing March 3. The decision to grant
an extension to March 31 wss reached
because in some sections of the coun-
try where other substitutes are not
yet available rye flour can be ob
tained.

Food Administration Rules
Reduction; Dealers Say
No Profit in It.
The retail price on flour was re
duced from 51.63 to S1.S5 per 24
pound sack to J1.55 to S1.75 per sack
at a meeting of the El Paso price in-
terpreting committee held Thursday
afternoon.
The reduction was made after dis-
trict food administrator C. X. Bassett
had received a ruling from the state
food administration to the effect that
cash and carry overhead of 10 per
cent of the price oX the flour could
not be added by retailers and that
the profit could not be more than SO
cents to S1.20 per barrel. It was
stated at the meeting that the rul-
ing would not allow retailers to make
a reasonable profit on flour handled.
People Conserving Mere.
Heports at the meeting were to the
effect that the flour sales had been
reduced at least 30 per cent if not
more showing that El Paso people
were ammg tne loou administration
in conserving wheat for Europe-
Cards with a complete program of
meatless wheatless and porkless days
.will soon be received and distributed
according to a statement made by
Mr. Bassett. Boy Scouts will distrib
ute the cards to all housewives in
the city.
Reports of a few calls for pork
Tuesday on the first porkless day
were made at the meeting but the
general opinion was to the effect
that the new regulatlon would be re-
spected by people as soon as well un
derstood.
Dlscnss Smaller leaves.
The subject of a three-quarter
pouna ioai was aiso Drougnt up at
the meeting but no crlce was sug
gested. It was stated informally that
a price of seven or eight cents would
be charged and that bakers would
come to using pennies.
There was some discussion about
the coming meeting of retail food
dealers grocerymen and meat dealers
to be held Monday evening at 7:30
oclock at the chamber of commerce
building.
Bread Allowance tn Hotel.
The following telegram from Wash
ington was received by C N. Bassett
district food administrator:
"The food administration interprets
a rule regarding portion of bread and
rolls to be served in hotels as ex-
pressed In general plan for hotels and
restaurants agreed to February 4. as
follows:
" Two ounces of bread or rolls an
ply to Victory bread or rolls as speci-
fied in rule 25. revised rules and regu-
lations governing bakeries. Four
ounces of bread or rolls apply only
when made of pure corn or bran or
oatmeaL'
"The above rules are voluntary and
hotels and restaurants shonld practi-
cally adhere to them. However all
hotels and restaurants that do their
own baking must secure license and
adhere strictly to baking regulations
of the food administration. We feel
it advisable that interpretation of
these rules should be uniform
throughout the country."
Sacramental Breads Exempt.
Breads used in the observance of re
Hgious rites are exempted by the food
administration from its regulations
which require the use of wheat flour
substitutes in the manufacturing of
bread and rolls.
This will remove any uneasiness
that may have existed regardim? the
use of bread and wafers at commun-
ion services and the use of xnatzoth
