(Special Harrisburg Correspondence.) i (...lutitirff The answer of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to ..luitit nf the Manufacturers lUO V UlliyiMi" v Association of Lancaster, regarding the rata for tbe transportation ui luminous coal from the Clearfield dis trict to Lancaster has been received by the Pennsylvania Public Service rvn,micinn Th Baltimore and Ohio VUlllUima.u... and the Philadelphia and Reading have also Hied pennons iur intervene, as party defendants. The coal shipment rate question has been nn,miaiinn for some time UCIUIO WW vv........ and expert advice has been called in on tho question of rates from the Schuylkill district to Philadelphia. In Its answer regarding me rates for moving soft coal to Lancaster the Pennsylvania Railroad denies that tho rate is unjustly discriminating against Lancaster, and asks mat me vu...- plaint be dismissed. Three Railroads inxeresicu. nniiimnro and Ohio says that if the rates of the Pennsylvania Rail road are reduced u win oe for the Baltimore and Ohio either to reduce its competitive rates lrum wiu Meyersdalo or Somerset region to Lan nr if It maintains its present rates, to allow its shippers to be plac ed at a disadvantage in competition with shippers from the Clearfield re gion on the Pennsylvania uomuuu.

Charities Half-Rate Quiz. The question of whether the rubllc Service Company law of 1913 will pre vent a railroad from giving half rates to a charitable enterprise has been placed before the Public Service Com mission by Charles C. Cooper, direc tor of the KIngsley Association, which conducts a settlement house in Pitts burgh nnd a fresh-air farm at Valen cia. He asks whether railroads may continue to give half rates on freight for carload lots of freight for the establishments. The association is supported by contributions, and the rate concession has been very helprul t 5t- . . Another interesting case is that brought by Elmer C. Jones, of Norrls town, who contends that the car steps on the Philadelphia & Western Rail road are too high. Anna M. Eaklns, of Philadelphia, who brought to the attention of the Commission the charge that the Ilarrlsburg & South Mountain Railroad failed to operate trains, was informed in a mllng by the Commission that the matter Is ono for the Courts, as there Is a ques tion of contract.

This regulation has caused railroads great annoyance. Washington. While admitting its accuracy Secretary Bryan declined to discuss further the statement by the German Under Secretary of State to the Imperial Parliament thnt Germany had been notified by the United States that nobody outside of Mexico could enforce a settlement of that country's present difficulties. The view that the Mexican factions should be allowed to adjust their dif ferences free from outside Interfer ence was expressed when tho Ameri can Government gave notice to the world powers thnt Its embargo against the exportation of arms to Mexico had been raised. Officials pointed out that similar ex pressions had been communicated re peatedly to other powers when their diplomatic representatives asked what the United States Intended to do in regard to Mexico. The question of Mexican responsi bility for losses sustained by foreign ers resident In Mexico as a result of the revolutionary disturbances Is one which at present the State Depart ment declines to enter upon. It was suggested that the Gorman Under Sec retary expressed only the German view when he said assurances had been glvon that all losses would be in demnified. The history of past revo lutionary movement . in tho Western Hemisphere presents some contradic tions of doctrine In this regard and the disposition of the officials Is to leave such matters to be adjusted after the present revolution is ended.

The matter of other powers being Indirectly requested to keep out of Mexico came up in the Reichstag on an Interpellation by two of the Na tional Liberal leaders as to "whether Provisional President Huerta had made representations to Germany in regard to the raising of the embargo on arms by the United States." The interpellation was replied to by Dr. Alfred ZImmermann, Under Secre tary of State for Foreign Affairs, who said the United States Government, when It Informed Germany of the rais ing of the embargo, had expressed the conviction that nc.body outside of Mex ico could effect a settlement of that country's difficulties. The restoration of peace In Mexico, Dr. ZImmermann paid, could be hoped for only If the Mexican parties were allowed to fight out their quarrels without interference, and the raising of the embargo merely gave American citizens the same ris'ht of selling arms as was enjoyed by other nations. Jiie Under Secretary Informed the House that measures had been taken to protect Germans In Mexico and de clared that Mexico would be held fully responsible for all their property losses.
