Despues del escandalo
MAYAGUEZ ESTA TRANQUILO

Despues de los tiros de aver y los CO.
mentarios de anoche, la ciudad amane-
clio hoy silenciosa, como 81 NADIA hubie
ra pasado. Buen presagio de paz es es-
te, que indica que tras las grandes tenn
pestades sabemos acogernos a la quletud
que aconseja ell buen juicio.
Del Emprestito no sc ha dicho hoy
NADIA; sus partidarios no salen del asom-
bro en- que les ha dejado sumido la di-
soluci6n de la Asamblea de Contribu-
yentes, con todas las galas risibles de un
motfn en- que no suena un tiro nj sc da
un sopapo.
De suerte que, tras los laboriosos pre-
parativos de esa fracasada Asamblea,
en- que Sc ha gastado, energla, tempo,
dinero, loco entusiasmo, todo Sc ha
venido al suelo; todo Sc echo a perder,
pues buen trabajo lie mando yo al Con
ceio Municipal de Mayagiiez, 81 sc lie
ocurre volver de nuevo la batalla de
meterle ell pecho a otra Asamblea de
Contribuyentes.
Ha sido, pues mortal, la batida que lie
han dado los politicos contrarios los
seiiores del Emprestito. Ell mas renidO
contrincante del prop6sito, 10 era un re-
publicano que no esta en- harmonic con
ell movimiento administrative local; le
dieron su desengano los suyos, y, "no
hay peor cuna que La del mismo palo ..
Este contrincante 10 era ell Lcdo. P. Fa-
jardo, ito del Alcalde, quien combati6
con brillantes razones la idea del En-
prestito.

Will Discuss Ideal Car"

In the same general connection the dis
cussion on the ''IdRl Car in which vari-
Gus members will outline their respective
personal desires will serve to indicate
the more distant future of design, while
such papers as the Possible Weight Re
duction of Cars" by A. P. Brush; Nee
full High-speed Motor" by D. Mccall
White, and Electric Transmission for
Motor Cars" by Justus B. Entz. indicate
some of the topics that will be uppermost
at the meeting.
Directly pertinent to present conditions
in the industry are the papers by A. D.
T. Libby, on Ignition and Starting De-
vices" and that by ]. E. Hale. which Will
comprise "A General Summary of the
Truck Tire Situation" c. T. Myers. the
Detroit consulting engineer. will present
Gasoline Motor Trucks embracing much
thought of technical value
One of the most far-reaching subjects
to be taken up will be that Of "A Proper
Basis for Road Vehicle Taxation, by c.
O. Egerton and s. /. Fekete. This paper
will treat of the engineering considera-
tons that underlie the theory of the
motor vehicle tax. and coming at a time
when more or less dissatisfaction with
present laws is being felt, will be es-
pecially pertinent.
Standardization progress during the
half-year period will be reviewed in the
reports of the various divisions Of the
standards committee. including such sub
jects as electric vehicles. motor trucks.
motor testing, electrical equipment and
springs. The society also will deliberate
over certain proposed changes in its con-
stitution that it is thought will permit its
work to be expanded to even greater
usefulness.

BUILDING GOOD ROADS
IN THE STATE OF OHIO
Highway Department Contracts for
More Than 600 Miles in

3I3 miles of state highways built and
contracted for in Ohio during the last
seven years has been built of brick and
| concrete construction. as shown by
bulletin No. -. just issued by the Ohio
| state highway department.
More than 300 miles of road were
| built and contracted for during each of
the two fiscal years ending in iai2 ana
| 1913. of which 81 miles were of brick
| and g. of concrete.
| The first concrete road contracted
for by the department was put down
in. July. 1Mf, although the City of
Belefountane. Ohio. laid the first con-
crete pavement in the country twenty
| two years ago and it is still giving
excellent service.
Bituminous Surface Not Satisfactory
| Most of the concrete roads built in
| 1912 were given a bituminous wearing
surface, such as has been adopted for
| the trunk line system in California
| but the results were not satisfactory

| now building plain. single-course con-
crete roads of ], 2-3 and 3 mix. the

MOTOR CAR ENGINEERS
PLANNING 1916 PRODUCT
Many Features Will Be Discussed at
Summer Meeting This
Month.

While automobile manufacturers are
busy paving the way for 1918 designs,
their engineers are already beginning to
consider features that may be developed
for the products OF 1916. and in some in
stances experimental work already is IN
der way that is not expected to bear
direct fruit for at least two years. For
this reason the program OF the summer
meeting of the Society of Automobile En-
gineers which is to be held al Cape May,
n. J., June 2:i-@1. promises more than
usual technical interest. while such of
the papers and discussions as find their
way into print will doubtless contain much
of suggestive value TO the sharpeycd
reader.
Among the subjects which have just
been disclosed by Chairman Arthur +.
Gunner of the general committee on ar
engagements are: Suggested Specifications
for Highest Possible Quality Six-cylin-
der Chassis for America. by A. Ludlow
Clayden of London. and Modern Euro
pean Tendencies. by Robert W. A.
Brewer. the we'll known British consult
ing engineer Both of these papers are
of remarkable value because American
automobile makers still disposed TO
keep their products in tune with foreign
practice SO far is practicable, and also
for the reason that in considering export
possibilities the expectations OF foreign
buyers must be clearly understood.
Messrs. Clayden and Brewer are MEM
bers of the S. A. L., as well as the instr
land Both are keen sighted and able OBJ
servers of conditions and requirements,
and their views are certain to be regard
ed with deepest interest.

The METZ "22" is the most compactly built car
in the world, and is extremely economical in oper-
alton and upkeep. METZ owners travel % to
80 miles on gallon of gasoline, 100 miles on
pint of lubricating OIL and 10000 to II 600 miles
on single set of tires. 1t makes so miles per
hour and hill climbing unsurpassed Its engine
develops more horse power per 100 pounds of
weight than any of the big touring cars gear
less transmission does away entirely with gear
trouble. 1t is easy to drive and easy to
take care Of; and it costs so little to o.
buy it, and so little to run it, that
it combines in greatest degree absolute Il
economy with absolute luxury. -

CONGRESS BACKS UP
PRESIDENT WILSON

Washington, April 23.-The senate,
by a vote of 70 to 10, passed the adj
ministration resolution declaring that
"the president is justified in the en-
ployment Of the armed forces Of the
United States to enforce his demands
for unequivocal amends for the af-
fronts and %indignities committed
House Immediately Concurs.
Without debate and without the for
mality Of a roll call. the house con
Cured in this resolution. On the viva
voce vote the ayes were in pro-
nounced majority. A few negative
votes were heard here and there on
the Republican side when Speaker
Clark put the question.
The signed resolution was her sent
to the president, thus removing all
possibilities Of delay.
The senate at 2:40 Wednesday morn
ing, had by a vote of AZ 10 80 re.
jected the substitute Mexican resolu.
ton proposed by Senator Lodge. 1t
would have based the Justification
of the use Of force in Mexico upon the
general conditions there instead OF
upon the Tampico incident alone.
An amendment proposed by Sena-
tor Gallinger "justifying the president
in the use Of forces to protect Ameri.
can citizens in Mexico" as well as to
demand reparation for the Tampico
incident was defeated 43 to 40.

U. S. TROOPS ROUT RIOTERS

Laredo, Tex, April 81. - Nuevo
Laredo, the thriving Mexican border
town opposite here, is in ruins, de-
vastated by dynamite and fire by
Mexican federal soldiers, who late
Friday began an orgy Of destruction
which did not end until they were
forced to flee southwark before the
guns Of the American border patrol.
Two Mexicans Killed.
Two Mexicans are known to have
been killed by the United States
troops and several we're seen to fall
when United States soldiers from
Fort Mcintosh got into action. Sew
eral brisk skirmishes between the
Americans and Mexicans were fought
in quick succession as the Mexicans,
