MEXICO TO SERVE
AS lMTERMED 7

Knoxville, Tenn. July %. Inti-
nations are given In sources close to
the Mexican embassy here that the
proposed plan of sending Secretary
Bryan to Mexico az head OF COM
mission to try to bring about an
found acceptable to the Huerta re-
gime. It is pointed out that the alb
sence OF anything In the nature OF
protest from the Mexican government
thus far is significant The Huerta
regime Ia displeased over the proposal
to shut OFT arrangements, but on the
other hand 1t would have nothing TO
lose by permitting mediation to be at
tempted. The most stubborn oppose.
ton to mediation apparently will come
from the revolutionists.
Consider Plan Ssrisusly.
The proposal Of mediation by this
leo Is seriously considered among
senator's and at the White House.
Statements that policy OF mediation
meets favor In official quarters Are
being put out ~ feelers. This govern
ment is anxious to know how q pros
posal OF mediation would be received
In Mexico. II developments show II
would meet favor, then the president
with the backing Of congress will take
1t up and press It.
The grave difficulty in the way.
however, is that IL the United States
by Its good offices should attempt to
bring about general agreement to
submit to an election 1t would at once
find all elements In Mexico so dis
trustful, each of the other that 1t
would probably be impossible to mako
Roadway. The question the revolu-
tionists would at once raise would be
what guarantee the United Statea
could give that the Huerta faction
would abide by any agreement AZ
made.
The treacherous murder of Madero
Is not forgotten among the revolution
their hands on their guns In any me-
gotiation that may be taken. They
are aware that the Huerta element will
go to any lengths to control the cleo
tons. ss

MAJORITY FOR THE DRYS.
Leesburg Voters Decide for No Ii
cense, Following Hot Contest.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LEESBURG, Va. March 26, 1913.
One Of the most holly contested cleo
tons ever held here on the question of
license OF no license for the sale Of in
toxicating liquor in Leesburg, yesterday
resulted in majority of thirty-five votes
for no license.
Owing to the fact that a large num-
Der of dry" voters failed to pay their
poll taxes in time to exercise their right
of suffrage at the election, a victory for
the VETS was predicted and the con-
test has been hard fought by the dry
faction. Petitions were signed by wom-
en-, prayer meetings were held and lee
lures delivered by Capt. Richmond Pear
son Hobson of Alabama and Seaborn
Wright OF Georgia.
Leesburg has had local option for a
number OF years, elections to decide hay
ing been held every two years.

Hundred or More to Be Delivered to

When the hundred or more condemned
csnnon which were voted at the last
session of Congress to sixty municipali-
ties and military organizations through
out the country have been delivered the
supply of such relics at the ordnance
bureau OF the War Department will be
about exhausted. These relics are now
being prepared for shipment to their
destinations.
Although there is sufficient supply Of
cannon balls to go with the guns there
are no carriages at the disposal of the
ordnance bureau for applicants who ask
ed for such mounings. To take the
place of -arriages the bureau has de-
vised a 1aa for suitable rest for the
cannon.
The various organizations which receive
these pieces pay the charges OF trans
portation and the guns remain at all
times subject to the order Of the Secre-
tary of War.

NO REAL ESTATE SIGNS
ON THE PUBLIC SPACES
Their Removal From Sidewalks
and Parkings Required I'm
der New Law.

Removal of all real estate signs located
on sidewalks and parkings in the District
of Columbia will be ordered by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
In a decision announced today Corpo-
ration Counsel Thomas holds that the pro-
vision of the appropriation act for the
next fiscal year. which stipulates that
hereafter no signs Or advertisements
shall be located on the siding or park
ing" affects signs located on public space
prior to- the passage of the act.
The corporation counsel states that the
law is not necessarily to be considered
retroactive, but he adds that under the
wording of the law signs would be To-
Gated on public parking after the pas
sage of the act il they were permitted to
remain"
Signs on Private Property.
In reply to inquiry by the Commission
ers concerning the legality of regulating
the erecting of signs and advertisements
on private property, Mr.. Thomas asserts
that this is still debatable question in
the law of bill posting.
"As to matters which affect public
morals or the health, safety or comfort
OF the community, a regulation could un-
doubtedly be sustained" he says, but
where one is directed merely to the
esthetic or artistic view the law has not
been definitely settled. There are strong
arguments pro and con. Inasmuch as
Congress has ypasSe
Congress has passed this law for us,
think we should assert it's legality and
defend it with as much force as we can
summon"
The law which, heretofore, has been in
effect permitted the erecting of one real
estate sign on a sidewalk or parking
while no limit was placed on the number
of signs that might be erected on private
property.
Number Limited to Three.
Under the new arrangement, no more
than three real estate advertisements
may be placed on one lot or parcel OF
land abutting street or avenue In the
District The Commissioners are author
lied to use their police authority to re-
auire compliance with the law, the pen.
atty for violation of it being a fine of no,
less than SIS nor more than $50.
The District heads have decided to is
sue permits for the erection OF signs SO
that a record Of the number OF advertise
ments placed on each lot may be kept
It is the opinion of the corporation coun-
sci that a fee sufficiently large to cover
the cost of the Issuance OF the pernlts
can be charged.

In, accordance with the provisions OF
the act Of Congress, the nlainmast of

was taken from the sunken hull in the

and brought to the Washington navy

that the work should be done with as
little delay as possible. The mast, in
it's present condition weighs 1850 pounds,
or about twenty long tons. Because Of its

lens for the contractors. Their plans in
volve the use of a specially constructed
truck in two or more sections with from
twenty to thirty draft horses for the
motive power. Two routes are under
consideration. one being over the Aque-
duct bridge and up the Military road to
the west gate of the cemetery, and the
other over the Highway bridge, along
the Columbia pike to the southeastern
entrance to the cemetery.
The latter route probably will involve
the removal of small section of the
cemetery wall near the gateway, as in
that case the passage would have to be
at an angle with the gate. 1t is favored
over the other route because it is much
shorter and the grades are easier.
