Senator Clapp declared the effective
language of the house had been stricken

"My heart has ached for an opportunity

Has Been No Confiecatlon of Cars by
American Railroads.
Calling attention to a special dispatch
from Brownsville which appeared In The
Poet Thursday morning. Horace Booth
general freight agent of the International
and Great Northern railroad stated
Thursday that Information contained
therein to the effect that the bridge at
Lredo Is closed to traffic is Incorrect.
He also denied that there had been any
con finest Ion of care by American roads.
"The bridge at that point Is open" he
declared "and there Is no foundation
whatever for the report that the Ameri-
can railroads at Laredo have been con-
fiscating Mexican equipment. The re-
port that they have been doing ao la a
gross misrepresentation or fabrication.
We had information from Latredo at noon
today that there la no trouble never has

International and Great Northern in
conjunction with the Texas and Pacific
and Iron Mountain previous to the trou-
bles In Mexico ran through trains via
Laredo Texas to tha City of Mexico In
connection with the National railways of

porary suspension of the traffic.

lieved that the constitutionalists who
have possession of the railroads will in
a short time turn the lines back to the
National railways of Mexico. In the
meantime Mr. Leach wires that ai-ange-rnents

tutionalists for an Interchange of traffic

Aa there are no through rates In effect
through bills of lading can not rt pres-
ent be issued to or from points In Mexico.

their own arrangements for the payment
of freight charges transfer of equip-
ment custom house entries bills of lad-
ing tn destination etc. Mr. Leach states

cording to aa official of ana of tha Unas:
Last Saturday tha Missouri. Kansas aad
Texas under tha ltnpreasloa that the
Sunset-Central was again receiving wheat
fur export decided to follow their exam-
ple. Not urttll Tueadajuof this week did
the 8unset-Central learn of tha kUty'a
action and what had prompted it About
that time the International and Oreat
Northern became aware of tba "beat" tha
Missouri Kansas and Taxaa road had
Innocently scored. Telephones were
brought Into use and aa a result of eon-.
venations between officials of the sev-
eral roads It waa decided that aaaouaoe
an ant should ba made that tha embargo
waa off. This as accordingly done
Thursday.
Another Influence Felt
Another Influence waa tha removal
Wednesday of restrictions by the Texas
and Pacific road which carries grain out
of Texas Oklahoma and Kansas to Waat-
wego the New Orleans port.
Pack of It all however stood the fact
that grain was being moved out of Oal-
veatoa at an unusually rapid rata The
elevators were fast being relieved of their
store of grain and cars which had been
In the yards for days and days were
being emptied. This gave the roads an
tppoit unity to get back In line and com-
pcte with roada leading Into Louisiana
ports.
The shippers at GalveatAn were putting
forth every effort to load the grain onto
vessels and get them out to sea. Not
only were they anxious to handle at large
a volume of grain aa possible but to hold
wheat In the cars meant a heavy ex-
pense because of the demurrage tariff.
Cars left loaded for more than five days
were aubjeet to $1 demurrage each day.
With more than 3000 cars standing In the
yards this became an Important item and
is said to have had Its Influence.
F. M. Lucpre assistant general man-
ager of the Sunset-Central tinea speak-
ing of the removal of the embargo said:
Were Glad to Act
"We are glad to be able to resume the
handling of grain because it means a
great deal to the farmers of this State
and tha whole section of country to be
able to realise now on this crop. We
have -notified the receivers of grain of our
section telling them that should they be
overloaded again they might Issue an em-
bargo as we had been forced to do."
J. M. Ball of the traffic department of
the International and Great Northern
said:
"We have notified all our traffic rep-
resentatives throughout the country also
connecting lines that we have raised the
embargo on export wheat through the
porta of Ualveston and Texas City and
are prepared to handle any and all ship-
ments through these ports as well aa for
local points and soliciting any and all
shipments that may be offered

sion by Attorney H. M. Garwood that tha

on account of the commissioners desiring
to attend the meeting of the National

All three of the commissioners expect
to attend the Waahtnartnn mstlna- Phalr.
