Leaders Of constitutionalists Are Di-
vided to Representation at
Peace Conference.

Washington.-The Mexican negotia-
tons at Niagara Falls received the
earnest attention of administration Of
ficials. Several exchanges occurred
between the American delegates and
officials here and the situation was
reviewed at the cabinet meeting, af-
ter which further advices went for
ward to the American delegates.
Coincident with these exchanges,
there we're frequent expressions of the
view in administration quarters that
the Constitutionalist element should
be brought into the mediation proceed
ings. It has become evident that this
question of Constitutionalist partici-
patton has brought about divided coun-
sells among the Constitutionalists.
Some desire participation at least to
the extent of having representative
at Niagara Falls to give information,
as it has been stated they will. Others
still maintain that their best course is
to withhold entirely from the proceed
ings.
Whether. this division will upset
plans for sending a spokesman to the
mediators Or will give way before the
strong desire of the administration to
have the Constitutionalists represent
ed is not clear. It was said the mat
ter had not been passed on finally by
General Carranza
Siliiman Is Safe.
One Of the most threatening COM
plications to mediation was removed
when definite word reached the state
department that Vice Consul John r.
Silliman, arrested at Saltillo and long
sought for, had arrived at Mexico City,
accompanied by the British vice consul
at Saltillo, Mr.. Macmillan.
While, however, Silliman himself is
safe, there remain several grave fea-
lures connected with his arrest. I'm
official reports have indicated that he
was placed under arrest while acting
as United States consul, was i'm
prisoned, tried as spy and condemn
ed to death. Also that the United
States consulate was entered and the
official archives taken. These indig-
mites, if officially verified, remain to
be atoned for in the ultimate settle
ment.
Rebels Enter SaItiiio.
General Carranza notified Constitu-
tonalist headquarters here that the
Constitutionalist armies had entered
Saltillo, evacuated by the federal gar
rison.

RULES or THE ROAD MUST BE OBEYED

 TT~HE MOTORCYCLE LE figured four times in
 yesterdays accidents in this single lo- cality Little is thought of the presence of these modest vehicles, which being unstable except when moving rapidly present peculiar peril on the road. There is more necessity that these speed machines should observe the rules of the road. The fact is they are operated with less regard to rules. The burden that comes from automobile breaks a traffic law the penalty is likely to fall upon the person of a pedestrian, but 3 motorcycle in collision almost invariably injures the man in the saddle.
 It is notable that two of the pedestrians hurt yesterday were hit at crossings where the traffic officer had given the right of way to the automobiles.
 One of the facts of the day is that the highways are used by swift moving traffic. Sooner or later everybody. must recognize the necessity of following the rules of the road, au- tomobile drivers, tealnsters, motorcyclists and pedestrians.

THE DRINKWATER LETTERS.

TTNHE CORRESPONDENCE which Col. M. H.
 Rogers, president of the Paving Com mi ssion has produced relates to the Warrenite contracts made in i913 the same which were the result of well founded criticism during the municipal campaign.
 If there was doubt as to whether Mayor Wilson and Warren Bros. were conscious of the quality of their effort to secure $i6O,OOO of public money for NVarrenite this year, the doubt is removed by these letters.
 The most important in the series of letters is that written by Arthur Drinkwater, counsel for Warren Bros, Co The letter bears date of June 16, 1918. Itis addressed to Mayor Clifford B. Wilson and contains. this significant expres- sion:
 Since writing to you on Saturday! June 14h have conference with the officers Bros company is ready to begin innediateIy on learning ing avenue only doubt of course. as the action of the PSns and as soon as intend raise obstacles 1t will be glad oproceed
 What was the doubt regarding the Paw. ing Commission ?'' What but the doubt that exists today, that it is the duty of the comn1is- sion to Scontract for pavements in Rridgeport and not the duty of the mayor and director Of public works to do SO.
 It was shown during the campaign that the contracts of 1918 were disadvantageous to the city, but the facts did not then receive the at tention they deserved, probably because of the natural inclination of the public to look with suspicion upon allegation made in the heat of a political eampaig gn.
 In simple justice to Frederick G. Mullins however, 1t must be admitted that he, spoke the truth regarding Warrenites while a candidate for the office of mayor, and the public is in debted to him for much valuable information, which is today the basissof the sound public opinion which exists with respect to paving contracts.

 THE SEASON FOR PICNICs

ID ICNIGs ARE a simple and primitive form
 of enjoyment. But these are elabor- ate and costly times. It might be thought therefore that picnios would go out of style, in an age that likes 8 lot of show and display. Such, however, does not seem to be the case. The use of the automobile seems to give aacer- tain social sanction to informal out of doors eating Motorists may be able to berrow money for the car, but hotel bills call for cash and a5lot of it. Automobile owners have to economic somewhere, and very frequently the saving takes the form of the picnic lunch
 To the men 1t sometimes seems as if the greater the inconveniences of a spot, the lar ther the luncheon baskets have to be toted the more it appeals to the women of the party To the latter, no tramp is too arduous to get at spots of scenic romance. To them the plainest fare is eaten with sharp relish under the stim- ulus of out door beauty.

AVOIDING CoNII.AGRATIoNs

EVERYBODY WANTS to avoid conflagra- A-1 tions,s Something may be done by wide streets and fire proof construction. Some thing may be done by keeping cellars clean by having good chinneys, by avoiding catch alls1 contAfntng inflammable materials and by look ing carefully to lighting systems all matters to be accomplished under fire department inspec-a ton
 If the fire does occur, it is necessary to have plenty of tvatery sprinkling systems and good fire department
 Finally comes insurance against the fire loss if fire does occur.
 One gentleman, who mingles some useful with some less useful advice says, Steps should be taken, before it is too late, to give the city increased protection by building better build ings, making and keeping the streets wider, and maintaining the present efficiency of the fire department
 Which raises the old question of the cost of the best things that could be had and the ne- cessity of using the things we do have.
 It is not practicable to widen streets on a large scale, nor to tear down and rebuild all of the city's wooden buildings It is not prac- ticable in a financial sense to increase the cost of the city's fire department te any considerable degree.
 It is practicable to make future streets wider and to provide for slower burning fu- ture construction
 For the rest, the insurance fund must be de-
 After a fire department has been brought to a certain degree of efficiency nothing ade- quate is to be gained by spending large sums of money for something more
 It is exceedingly doubtful if any improve nent in fire department within the reach of the public purse would prevent conflagrations The evidence is that the most expensive conflagra- tions occur in places where the fire depart ments are the costliest and at top peak of eff ciency- The greatest of them have occurred in the midst of most modern construction
 Conf rrafiens are always an evil fo ipdi- pzAuals but are frequently of benefit to com munities and to future generations. Every city has class of buildings carried over from an earlier time, which nobody would wish deliber- ately destroyed by which nobody would mourn if they were tes troyed by unavoidable fire

roo MANY INSPECTORS

TITLE THINGS show which way the wind A< blows The paving board is to make an investigation ito see if our sewer work is loaded down with inspectors2' Why should anybody beside the paving commission employ inspectors to assist in the supervision of the word directed By the commission? Yet there is a public belief that. the inspection expense on all recent public work has been extraordi-s narily large as large in fact as the skill of the inspectors has been small Stories are told of eases in which inspectors have outnumbered the vRorkmenr on a job Inspectorships have been the royal road by which political friend ships have realized profit.

TAXING CARE OF DANBuRY

RAFTING IS ONE of the industries which
 l needs some protection from tariff Its raw material comes fro nabroad and it is in keen competition with British matters.
 It used to be of the stock of trade of B: J. Hill to declare that he was the only living states man who could take care of the hat business in Congress That wasn't his language, but that one always had lively picture of the ruin of the hating town if he should ever fail to be re- elected.
 But Congressman Donovan took care of Danbnry when the tariff bill was passed, and he has taken care of Danbury in another way, by getting the treasury department to move with the construction of d post office building there, a building which is much needed and for which an appropriation has been long in exist ences

DIDN'T CALL THEM aGALooTs.r

T~HE EVIDENCE shows that Congressman
 Jeremiah Donovan didn't call his ab- sentee brethren .galoots,7 although it would have endeared him to the public had he done so. Better would it have been had he called them 'goloots" The word is a new one, com pounded from ''go and ''loot' A congressman who comes to Washington and goes away from the Capitol when there is business to be done initiates the offense called absenteeism. against which Congressman Donovan protests He also initiates a process of appropriating property without rendering service for it, proceeding adequately described as loot. We suggest to the congressman that he for the moment aban- don strict parliamentary speech, long enough to call those goloots who are goloots

False Race-Pride.

:. DR.. Geo. w. Nelson, the druggist
Of St. Paul has often been criticised
because of his white employees. He
has given every Negro who applied
an opportunity to prove his ability
and will continue to do so. 1t should
be considered that the greater part of
his trade is from white patrons. We
should not expect Negro businessmen
to disregard their patrons and we
should buy from them for value re-
ceived. DR.. Nelson is doing we'll, con-
Quoting his store along business and
not color lines, and he will invite
failure, when he listens to a few dis
gruntled Negroes, who should know
that he has right to so conduct his
business, and they have the privilege
of whom they patronize. Success to
