visit In New York tonight and to-
morrow, President Wilson will con-
tinue in closest touch with Mexican
affairs. He arranged today with
Secretary Bryan to have all import
ant messages either from Lind or

of any serious change being looked
for but because the President thinks
himself responsible for every move
made by the United States,

dent yesterday assured Sir William
Tyrell. secretary to Sir Edward
Grey, that his official advices indi-
Gated the thirty representatives at

by General Carranza that claims for
all damages will be paid in so far
as the constitutionalists are in con-
troll of the country,
This promise has been passed on

Of President Wilson's policy in Mex
leo by Viscount Haldane lord high

AMERICAN BALLOONS
ALONE REMAIN AL0FT
international Cup Lies Between Uncle
Sam and Goodyear-0thers
Forced to Descend.

Paris, Oct. H-The balloon race for the
James Gordon Bennett cup lies between
the American balloons. Uncle Sam, piloted
by II. E Honeywell, and Goodyear. pilot
ed by Ralph Upson. When last sighted
the Uncle Sam was over the Saone-at-
Loire department. and while the balloon
was drifting along at a slow pace, It is
believed that Honeywell has covered suffi-
cient mileage to give him a safe lead
over his competitors.
A favorable breeze, however, would en-
able the Goodyear to reach England and
probably win the race. The last report
received from the Goodyear was when
IL was sighted beyond Granville, and
about over one of the channel islands.
Whether Upson win land on one OF the
channel islands or make England de-
pends entirely upon the wind.
The Austrian balloon, piloted by
Lehner, was sighted over Granville to-
day. but later report stated that Lehner
was forced to land. as the balloon was
fast loosing bouyancy. and he feared 10
attempt the night across the channel
The other fifteen balloons have landed
after covering 40 miles or less. Nine Of
these landed in brittany or Normandy
during the last twelve hours.

MERCHANTS ON Light
COMMITTEE ARE NAMED
Sixteen Members Of R. M. A. to Try
for Better Illumination in the
Business Section.
ASK COMMISSIONER HEARING

The committee OF the Retail Merchants
Association appointed to look into the
better lighting OF + and G Streets and
New York Avenue, in the business dis
tricts, has been announced by Chairman
George Topham as follows:
George Topham. chairman; Julius Gar
hnkle, Z. F. Droop. A. Lisner, Anton
stephan, E. c. Graham. Max Rich, ]. NJ
Bird, Frank r. Jelleff, Sidney Reizen-
stein, Edwin II. Etc. Mrs. N. Brooks,
Sidney West. o. ]. De Mol. Charles G.
Stott. and Harry II. Juelg.
The greatest interest is felt By retail
merchants generally in this movement.
especially those on the thoroughfares
concerned. Pennsylvania Avenue and
Seventh Street already have been pro-
vided for. and II is felt that the other
thoroughfares named are greatly in need
OF improved lighting facilities.
The merchants spend much money and
time on shop windows. and II is desired
that the highways in the business dis
tricts should be sufficiently lighted to
make walking at night in the shopping
districts a pleasure.
A request for a hearing of the COM
mittee by the District Commissioners
has been sent to Col. Chester Harding, En-
gineer Commissioner Of the District, un-
der whose jurisdiction the lighting Of the
city comes.

American Electric Railway Association.
and Commander of the District OF Column
bia National Guard. in opening the thirty
second annual convention of that organ
ization and its allied bodies here today,
spoke on the expense OF operating a mod
ern car line.

there will be a succession OF more or
less destructive experiences, now here,
now there. resulting. on the one hand,
from the broadening OF city borders and
the consequent extension OF lines, forcible
multiplication of transfer points, compul-
sorry wGge increases, conscienceless serv-
ice requirements, and growing cost of
construction and maintenance, and on the
other hand the fixed, or rather, the
fare.

tinued, by which we are bridled and
saddled. and sometimes hobbled, but

nland at least living wages in return for
our investment and labor. there Is MOTH
ing to prevent our talking right out in
meeting Of the increased rate of fares
which surely must come IL We are to sur
vive."
