CARRANZA PLEADS
WITH PRESIDENT
BULLETIN

MEXICO CITY, Aug 2S.--Presfdent
Wilson's personal representative, John
Lind, and Federico Gambca, the Mexi-
can minister of foreign affairs, are
ngain exchanging notes on the subject
of relations between the respective
governments. Notwithstanding that Mr.
Lind has already left the capital and
that President Wilson'S other agent,
William Bayerd Hale, has planned to
leave tomorrow. Senor Gamboa's note,
which he says Is in reply to one he re-
reived from the American envoy, was
sent to HIr. Lind Mt Vera Cruz tonight.
The government understands that Mr.
Lind Will leave Vera Cruz for the United
states Thursday.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 26.-The dila-
tory attitude of the Huerta government
today gave administration officials hope
that some concessions might be made
to the American proposals for peace
~ Mexico, but indications pointed to
final ending of all negotiations tomor-
row. when President Wilson IS seheo-
uled to read his message to both houses
of congress- defining the policy which
sue toward its southern neighbor.
A "a hour postponement of the pres
entation of the message. which was TO
have been read today. was agreed to
after q joint request from Frederico
Camboa. Mexican foreign minister, and
John Lind. President Wilson's personal
representative in Mexico. It followed
repeated efforts on the part of the
Huerta officials to have the reading OF
the document deferred indefinitely.
Mr. Lind left the Mexican capital
early today for Vera Cruz, however,
with the understanding that the United
States would announce its policy to-
morrow unless the Huerta government
receded.
Mr.. Lind had made certain supple
1nentary suggestions TO Senor Gamboa
the nature of which was not divulged,
but administration officials declared
these constituted no departure from the
fundamentals of the American note.
The original proposals We're officially
announced as follows.
Cessation of hostilities and a def
mite aImistice.
2-An early and free election.
3-Huerta to bind himself not to be
candidate
Am agreement by all parties to
abide by the results of the election.
Mr. Lind informed Senior Gamboa that
he would stop in Vera Cruz and could
be reached there in case there should
be any reply to his last suggestions.
For several days Gamboa and Lind
have been fencing, the former attempt
ing to secure a new basis of negotia-
4fons and the latter steadfastly declar-
ing that under no circumstances would
the United States yield any or its points
or agree to any considerable prolonga-
tion of the negotiations unless Huerta
withdrew his note of reply to the Amer
iean proposals.
officials disclaimed that Mr.. Lind had
zone to Vera Cruz to avoid any en-
barrassment in the Mexican capital fol-
lowing the publication there of Presi-
dent wilson's message.

When an automobile and a railroad

favor of the train. but that the taker

The appropriation also provided. for the

year II has been estimated that the new
apparatus, in the saving Of property by
reaching the point of corhagration in a
very short space of time, thereby check

way, has almost paid for itself. Not only
does power-driven apparatus save In this
manner. but an economy is also effected
IN the cost Of garaging. 1t is necessary
to have fire stations in the congested
portions of the city. With the horse
drawn equipment this means a place
large enough not only to house the ap-
paratus. but space equal almost in size
for stabling the horses. With the motor

1T seems to me that those people who

cost are overlooking a mighty important
factor when they fail to eliminate the
waste in horse costs. Every merchant

horses for delivering his goods is con-
