WATER TROUBLE IN HARMED
Citizens Won't Use Water Since
Meters Are In.

Larned, Aug. 2s.-A peculiar
condition c~onfronts the people OF
this city regarding the waterworks.
The plant Is owned by the city ana
the rates are the cheapest In the
state, according to Mayor Lindas,
who further states to the people OF
the city that unless more water Is
used, the rate will have to be rails
ed. The revenue derived at present
,s hardly sufficient to maintain the
plant. The drouthy summer Is not
SO much to blame for the lack OF
users as the sudden change in pol
icy of the plant. For years the plant
had been run in a haphazard man
ner and under the recent admins
tration things were checked up and
u was found that many OF the citi-
zens of the town had not paid a
water bill in years. Several Diiis'
each for a few hundred dollars, were
presented some citizens m they
had to come through. Most of them
were willing to do so, though they
felt that the failure to read meters
and present bills was not their fault
and the trouble occasioned by the
change in policy of the plant, while
reducing the tax of the people as
whole, made 1t cost the water users
considerably more than 1t had In th'
past and there was a sudden cessa
ton of the amount of water used
The city finances have felt the drail
and the consequent decrease OF in
come. One of the ways in which
the administration is trying to ge
the people to use more water is Il
the agitation to save the trees o
the town, many of which are dying

President Woodrow Wilson went
to congress yesterday and revealed
how the Huerta provisional govern
ment in Mexico had rejected the
friendship of the United States and
it's effort to aid in the establish
ment of peace and a government
which could be recognized by TINS

and respected by Mexico's own peo-
pie.
The president announced the po-
sition of the United States to be as
follows:
No armed Intervention.
Strict neutrality '%forbidding the
expectation Of arms or munitions OF
war Of any kind from the United
States to any part of Mexico"
Under no circumstances to be
the partisans OF either party to the
contest that now distracts Mexico
or constitute ourselves the virtual
umpire between them"
TO urge all Americans to cave
Mexico at once and to assist them
to get away in every way possible.
To let everyone in Mexico, who
assumes to exercise authority, know
that this government shall vigilant-
" watch the fortunes of those
Americans who cannot get away
and shall hold those responsible for
their sufferings and losses to a def
mite reckoning.
THAT can and will be made plain
beyond the possibility OF q misun-
derstanding," the president said.
Accompanying the president ad-
dress was the reply Of the Huerta
government rejecting the American
proposals. 1t was written by For
eign Minister Gamboa. It suggest
ed the following alternative policy
for. the United States.
Reception OF a Mexican ambas-
sador in Washington.
That the United States send a new
ambassador to Mexico without re-
straints.
Strict observation Of the neutral
fly laws and see to 1t that no ma
