Other business men expressed them

suggested that the schools be used
more and more as they are in Other
cities as places for gathering for the
neighborhoods. People at Twsnty-sec-

FEW OFFICIALS At WASHINGTON EXPECT ANYTHING 0F
MEDIATION EXCEPT FAILURE

Washington, D. c., May 26.-
President Wilson was notified today
that George Carothers, special rep
resentative of the United States, with
Villas army, was on his way to
Washington with a message from
Villa, which is expected to have i'm
portant bearing on the United States
attitude toward the constitutional
lists.
Washington today is generally
skeptical about the success of the
mediators at Niagara Falls. Army
officers predict that orders for the
reinforcement of General Funston's
army at Vera Cruz will soon be is
sued, and that men will stay there
until Mexico is pacified.

OCALA FLORIDA, TUESDAY, NAY 2e, 1914
WILL REBUILD
THE IRON WORKS
UNCERTAIN AS TO LOCATION,
But HOPED 1T WILL BE
IN OCALA

At the meeting of the stockhOld-
ers of the Ocala Iron Works in this
city Saturday afternoon, it was de-
cided to rebuild the plant, but it was
not fully settled as to where it will
be built. The general impression,
however is that the plant will be re-
built on it's own fine site, in this
city.
Mr.. c. C. Simmons, manager of
the Iron Works, left today for the
east to buy the new equipment. Part
OF this will be shipped Immediately
to Ocala and certain machines will
be set up in the company's ware
houses, temporarily and will be in
operation in two weeks.
All of the machinery will be
bought by Mr.. Simmons. and by the
time the other machines and huge
travelling cranes are ready for ship
ment, the future location Of the
plant will have been decided on.
About thirty machines were burn
ed in the fire, and so many improve
ments have been made in this line
of machinery, that the entire thirty
can be replaced with ten different
machines, several of which will per-
form different duties The machines
will all be operated by individual
motors, instead of one large motor
as heretofore.
Mr.. Simmons will visit many diff
ferent machinery headquarters and
will get the best possible machines
of latest design, and will secure for
his stockholders the closest possible
prices. He will be gone for three or
four weeks and will stop in the fol-
lowing places in the order OF their
mention: Baltimore Philadelphia,
and New York. Several side trips.
Then to Hartford. Conn; back to
Pennsylvania and stop at Pitsburg;
thence to Cleveland, Concinnati and
Chicago, and home via Atlanta,
wheer he will also stop.
The huge travelling crane will be
something the iron works has always
needed and was handicapped with
out. 1t will serve all parts OF the
building and will save many dol
lars day in labor. Each machine
will be labor saving and will enable
the plant to turn out it's products at
the lowest possible cost. Many of
them will be almost automatic in
their operations and requiring very
little attention.
Wherever the plant is built. the
big machine shop will have a solid
concrete floor and will be concreted
to a height of three feet on the
walls This will be a big saving in
the long run and will make the
building fire-proof.
Another improvement that will be
made will be to remove the Office far
enough from the other parts OF the
plant so that it would not burn in
case of fire, unless within itself.
The Star feels that this fine busi-
ness Will not be moved from Ocala;
that its establishment here for so
many years, the investment remain
ing here in its matchless site and the
buildings remaining, and the good
treatment at the hands OF the coun-
Gil, all together will decide the
stockholders to stay here.

When the CarranZa-ViEa forces came
into possession of north Mexico they de-
sired to restore II to commercial activity
and accordingly made overtures to our
interests along with others to resume do
ing business therein. There were, however,
many practical business questions to be
settled before we could feel assured that
such q resumption of our business could
be safely entered upon.
Basis Of Correspondence.
TT was this invitation from the Car
ran1a-Villa forces to US to resume busi-
ness In north Mexico which began the
correspondence between Henry Clay
Pierce and the agents of the Carranza-
villa government. This opening led
these agents to ask questions of my
father relating to the handling of Gers
tain important commercial problems
which the constitutionalist government
found itself obliged to administer, among
them the operation of the National rail-
ways of Mexico. My father answered
impartially, his sole object being to
quickly and effectively restore COM
nercial activity. and to bring about
resumption of effective railway trans
portation. My father was inspired
wholly in the protection and administra-
ton Of our own business affairs in
north Mexico, and in nowise for the
aiding of the Mexico revolution, or to
curry political favor with any warning
faction in that country.
The fact that my father put those
communications with the agents in ques-
ton in writing proves on its face their
entire innocence of the Interior motives
the articles would seem to give them.

AFTER ARMY-NAW GAME
Bills introduced in Congress for Use
of Polo Field Near the
Monument.

A bill to authorize the chief of en-
gineers to turn over to the Army and
Navy Athletic Association the polo field
near the Monument as a site for the
Army-Navy foot ball game was intro
duced today by Representative Carlin
of Virginia. A similar resolution was
introduced by Senator Swanson.
Tho bill provides that the Army and
Navy Athletic Association erect stands
and remove them and all the debris
after the game without expense to the
government
The introduction of this bill is part
of the campaign which is now being
carefully worked out between the War
Department and the Chamber of Com
merce of the District of Columbia and
the army and navy athletic associa-
lions to bring the Army and Navy foot
ball game here.
For several weeks quiet canvass of
the House has been going on so as to
ascertain the views of the members.
1t is understood that one of the lead
ing republicans will make serious OBJ
lection to the bill on the ground that
he does not like to see public parks
turned over for such special purpose.
