The French dealer would send this
short bill'' to the American consulate

MEXICO'S NEW AMBASSADOR

Senior De la Bar-a's successor In
Washington is Senior Zamacona, whose
father was minister to the United
States from 1873 to 1882. During the

minister. Zamacona Is about forty
five years of age and for the past two
years has been Mexico's financial rep

this he served as director of the in.

D.. .. R. WILL HAVE
PAY-WITH|h CARS
Orders 20 of New Style Which Are
Designed To Prevent Accidents
To Passengers.

A new style of car, known as the
pay-within car, will be introduced by
the ID. u. r. about March /. Seventy
OF the new vehicles have been order
ed.
The new car Is on the principle OF
the pay-enter. The difference is m
the construction OF the platform. The
inner door is dispensed with, while
an outer door is over the steps. The
front door Is similarly arranged, SO
that when the doors are closed, there
is no chance TO- get foothold on the
car.
Before the car starts, both front and
rear platform doors will be closed, the
passengers being allowed to stand on
the platform until they have paid their
fares. The object of the new car Is to
prevent accidents by persons trying
to board or leave the car while IL Is
in motion. The new cars will have
the latest improvements. and will cost
about $4,000 apiece.
II is expected that the pay-enter
system will be extended either to the
Michigan or the Jefferson-ave. line
within a short time.

NATIONAL BANK OF COMMERCE
LIKELY TO SHIFT QUARTERS
Negotlates for Quarters Vacated by
Exchange National; New Room
Badly Needed.

Preliminary negotiations are In
progress for the removal of the Ma
tional Bank OF Commerce from its
present quarters in the Union Trust
building across. the corridor into the
quarters formerly occupied by the
American Exchange National bank. 1t
is expected that arrangements will be
completed within short time.
The National Bank OF Commerce
needs more room for the accommoda-
ton Of customers, and there is no
possibility OF expansion in the present
quarters. The rapid growth of the
business of the institution has made
more room necessary.
The accounting department OF the
bank is now located on the second
floor of the Union Trust building, and
according to the plan being consid-
cred, will be brought down to the first
floor The Union Trust Co. also needs
additional space for it's Offices on the
second floor and will probably take
up the rooms now occupied by the
bank IL the plan goes through. It is
said that there are several tenants in
sight for the bank quarters on the
first floor.
Both the National Bank OF Com
merce and the American Exchange
National have leases on their quar-
tiers, although the lease OF the latter
has only about three months to run.
