ACTION 18 RESCINDED
NO ENDORSEMENT GIVEN CHANGE
IN RATE COMMITTEE.
At Meeting of Shippers and Railroad
Representatives, Suggestion of Plac-
ing El Parfj in New Freight Com-
mittee Does Not Meet With Ap-
proval.
Yesterday afternoon by unanimous
vote the Chamber of Commerce direc-
tors rescinded the action taken Tues-
day night In iudorsing the change pro-
posed by the railroads of taking El
Paso out Qf the Southwestern tariff
commluee and placing it in a new
committee which would have New
Mexico, El Paso and probahly Arizo-
na under its Jurisdiction.
The meeting was attended by about
a dozen leading shippers of this city,
the Chamber of Commerce directors,
and A. N. Brown and W. R. Brown for
tue railroads. At the beginning of the
meeting J. M, Cannon opened discus-
sion on the subject by offering a reso-
lution to rescind the previous action
taken. After this there was a gen-
eral debate on the question, A. N.
Brown for the Southwestern and W. R.
Brown for the Santa Pe. explaining
the proposed change in full. There
was «~ definite assurance that the pro-
posed change might not eventually re-
act to the detriment of El Paso and
the shippers spoke against the advisa-
bility of taking El Paso out of a com-
paratively moderate rate territory and
placing It in territory with a much
higher rate.
The upshot of the eatire movement
is that the Chamber of Commerce
takes no hand whatever in lhe mai-
ier, while the shippers of El Paso, to
the number of sixty-eight, signed a

protest against the change, which will
be forwarded to the representative of
every road entering the city.
Among the signers of the protest
are included a large percentage of the
heavy shippers of the city.
In the course of his argument A. N.
Brown said that it was probable that
the headquarters of the proposed new
committee would be in Kansas City.
The committee, he said, would be ei-
ther independent or a sub of the Trans
Mississippi, in which latter event the
committee's headquarters were not
likely to be in the territory for which
iates would he published. He laid
stress on the statement that the new-
committee was not to change rates,
but to simply publish them, and to
make occasional corrections of irreg-
ularities, should it be found necessary.
He also said that Ei Paso would have
a separate tariff, which would not be
affected by New Mexico rates. The
change, he said, would be merely in
the interest of stability of rates and
of the publication of all tariffs.
W. R. Brown for the Santa Fe pre-
ceded A. N. Brown and stated among
other things that the prime object in
forming the new committee would be
to have a source of information for all
roads and shippers, and that when the
matter was first discussed, with the
view of placing New Mexico upon a
better basis in the matter of the un-
derstanding of all the rates which
were being published by ail the roads,
it was thought well to include El Paso
S. J. Frendenthal made the princi-
pal talk on the part of the shippers,
declaring that El Paso merchants are
fairly well satisfied with the rates
they are getting at present and that
they did not desire to give endorse-
ment to a plan which would place the
city in a committee which had a ter-
ritory with much higher rates than BJI
Paso is getting.
He said that if the new committee
Were formed ,the interests of Denver
and all other Colorado points would
he thrown against El Paso.
A. Blumenthal, C. T. Hockemeyer,
I. A. Shedd. D. M. Payne and others
spoke. At the conclusion of the dis-
cussion, Mr. Cannon asked for a vote
on his motion, which carried unani-
mously. Mr. Cannon then moved ad-
journment
Following is the protest signed by
the shippers, against the proposed
change, which will be sent to the rail-
roads :
To the Railway Representatives of El
Paso :
It having been brought to our notice
• hat the lines of railway entering EI
Paso from the East were considering
and were almut to put in force a prop-
osition eliminating the city of El Paso,
Texas, from St, louis and other terri-
tory, to points in Texas taking the
same rates as Laredo and Eagle Pass,
and including this city in s group com-
prising certain points in New Mexico.
It: is not clear what advantage can be
derived by th® merchants of this city
bv the proposed change and we here-
by, therefore, respectfully and em-
phatically protest against the change,
and request that the El Paso lines
shall not advocate or cause any action
to be taken that will take this city out
of the association that now has the
jurisdiction of publishing freight rates
;o Texas points. Including El Paso,
Texas.

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Two Men Held In Connection With
Chinese Certificates.
Two men were arrested a few days
ago at Dallas on a rather peculiar
charge—that of conspiring to forge

Some Interesting Facts in Report.
In the fallowing extracts from the
report, some interesting facts are told
in connection with the smuggling bus-
iness in Juarez.
“From interviews with Tepitt/tble
American citizens residing in Mexico
City, Chihuahua. Tampico, Guaymas
and other cities in the republic of
Mexico, it is learned that In the places
named schools have been established
In charge of competent tutors, for the
sole purpose of teaching English !o
the Chinese. That the object in view
of such Chinese residents of Mexico
in studying English is not wholly dis-
interested Is readily illustrated, when,
after having been arrested in the an
of crossing the. international boundary
line, or having been found in El Paso
without certificates of residence, they
blandly state in our courts, in good
English, that they were born In the
United Skates and are American citi-
zens under the supreme coprt de-
cision.
"During the past fiscal year 486 Chi-
nese are known to have arrived in Jua-
rez by Mexican Central trains, and
few, If any, have returned to the In-
terior. There are now employed in
Juarez the following Chinese: In
