As a STRANGER Sees us.

There aren't many places where the
baggage transfer companies are quite
so cussed as they are in Pittsburg.
Once in New York / gave a boy the
job of ''toting" my grip from the
Pennsylvania station to Times square,
about five minutes walk-and we
walked. He wanted s105--the five
cents was to pay his carfare back.
Next to that. the meanest thing ever
happened to me was when a Pittsburg
transfer company took all night to
carry my trunk from railroad sta

for what is done In any other town

go without pajamas. charged me stor-

Arms Into Mexico.
TO KEEP STRICT NEUTRALITY
Presidents Plan Supersedes Move to
Admit Weapons to Rival Fac
tions-WiIson Denies Request
to aid Americans

Washington, July rs. - President
Wilson will intervene peacefully In
Mexico to restore peace and order to
that distracted country.
Information obtained Wednesday is
to the effect that the president soon
will appoint commissioners TO pro-
coed to the neiahboring republic for
the purpose OF Inducing President
Huerta and General csrranza, the lead
or Of the revoIutionists, TO agree 70
hold special election.
This election 10 to be absolutely fair
and untrammeied. The result is 10 be
accepted by all factions, which are 10
agree In advance that they will stand
by the man chosen by the people.
Following a conference with law
makers President Wilson has decided
that no faction in the present Mexican
revolution shall obtain arms or am
munition from the United States and
that neutrality must be observed
This vas the Interpretation OF the
neutrality laws decided upon after
conferences with Senator Bacon and
Representative Flood, chairmen OF the
two congressional committees on for
eign relations, at the White House.
While the Mexican rebels have been
getting no arms heretofore. the days
developments mean that the HuCrta
adminisua ion will be deprived OF the
privilege previously given the Mcdero
government. ant the United States
will treat all sides alike In the pres
ent dispute.
The situation was precipitated by
the recent complaints Of the Constltu'
tionalists and their sympathizers in
this country thai II the United States
did not virtually assist the Huerta
government by selling II munitions Of
war a termination of hostitities would
be possible.
Sentiment in favor OF new policy
grew In congress 10 such extent that
canvass was made of the foreign rela.
lions committee In both houses deal.
ing with foreign relations.
II was found that there would be tit.
tie objections to repeating the joint
resolution OF March Ia, 1912. giving
the president discretionary power to
prohibit expectations of arms or mu-
nitions OF war to countries where do
nestle violence existed. but permitting
him to allow the legally constituted
government OF any country to buy war
supplies as usual.
Senator Bacon. however reiterated
as he left the White House that the
Huerta administration could not be
considered legitimate successor of
the Madero regime or legally consti,
tuted government,
The president examined other
phases of the Mexican situation with
Messrs. Bacon and Flood. who said
later that no action OF any kind or
pronouncement of policy was likely
until Ambassador Wilson had con.
ferred with administration officials
here.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt con.
ferred at length on the situation with
Rear Admiral Frank T. Beatty. com.
mander of the fourth division Of the
Atlantic fleet, who has just returned
with his flagship. the Minnesota. from

Mr., Roosevelt said afterwards that
the conference was entirely informal
and unofficial.

CITY WILL TRY
To GET MORE
WATERSHED

With Mayor Seymour in Wash
ington trying to get congress to
turn over to Tacoma what land
Uncle Sam has on the Green river
watershed, Acting Mayor Freeland
this morning took up with the
city commissioners a proposition
to get lot of privately owned
land along the line OF the river.
The Northern Pacific owns ev-
cry alternate section along its
line. The land is practically
worthless and Freeland asked the
council to request the company to
transfer it to the city as gift
and an evidence of good will.
Where there is timber the city
would turn it back to the company.
The commissioners adopted the
suggestion, and the matter will
be taken up with the N. P. Off
cials at once. If the company
comes UP with the land it will
give the city thousands of acres.

has been talking about it on the

some one in his rides to the North
End who did not believe the tideflat
bonds would carry. Stiles was so
sure of 1t the opposition challeng-
ed him to bet on 1t, and stiles broke
over all past precedents and post
ed bet of box of 30 cigars that

For a city attorney who is gen.
orally opposed to municipal owner

considerable enthusiasm.
