POSITION Of BURGESS
IN POLICE SQUABBLE
UPHELD BY SOLICITOR
Councilman Nelly Is Raped For
Refusing to Report Case
to Council

Borough Solicitor Frank b. Wick
ersham has rendered an opinion on
the law as involved in the recent dis
pute between the police committee of
council and Burgess Fred wigheld as
to which has control of the borough
police.
According to law as quoted by the
borough solicitor the policemen are
under the control and direction of the
chief burgess" He may direct as to
the time during which they may work.
the place where they must work and
the manner in which they shall per-
form their duties
The power to appoint the police
men, according to the law as quoted
by the borough solicitor, rests with
the borough council, as does the power
to pay the policemen. ut must neces-
sarily follow" explains Solicitor Wick
ersham, that the appointive power
must necessarily be the dismissing
power; otherwise II may happen that
as often as the town council appoints
policemen the chief burgess could dis
miss them, and thus leave the town
without protection"
Burgess Fred Wigfleld this morning
commented on the opinion and ex-
pressed himself as pleased that the
borough solicitor went into so much
detail. The opinion completely vim
dicates my recent action in recon-
mending the dismissal of Patrolman
Jones'" he asserted, land shows that
] did not exceed my authority as was
charged by Councilman Nelly.
And l think the law is clear on
the point that Nelly was acting with
out any authority when he refused to
report his actions to council" con-
tinued the burgess. 1T seems to me
that the law plainly states that coun-
Gil and not any committee shall act in
such cases." he added.

Wilson Says Leaders
Must Settle Trouble
Without Interference

Washington, Sept. 24-It was off,
cially stated at the White House to-
day that the latest troubles between
General Carranza and General Villa
would not alter the plans of the
United States as to withdrawing troops
from Vera Cruz or the status of the
embargo on arms. No date has been
fixed for moving the troops.
President Wilson is understood to
take the position that Carranza and
Villa must settle their differences
without interference from the United
States and that the presence of Ameri-
can troops at Vera Cruz would not
solve the difficulty.
According to official information
here Villa is willing to have Carranza
become provisional president or resign
now and run for the presidency later.
They have been informed that Villa
objects to Carranza doing both.
More "Watchful Waiting"
AS outlined In official circles to-day,
President Wilson continues to persue
the watchful waiting policy and allow
the Mexicans to work out their own
destiny, providing that rights of for
eigners are not transgressed.
Official adViceS to-day gave details
of the break between Carranza and
Villa, but indicated that a physical
clash between the two forces would
not be immediate, official dispatches
SAY:
Governor Maytorena, of Sonora.
has left Nogales for Cananea with
8 500 men and a Red Cross train.
Constitutionalist forces under Generals
Benjamin Hill and Juan Cabralare,
are east of Cananea. but are expected
to fall back and not give battle be-
cause of the superiority in number of
the forces of Maytorena who is friend
ly to Villa.
Five thousand men under General
Felipe Angeles have been dispatched
by General Villa to Sonora, but the
situation there is no unsettled that
the exact alignment of the various
factions is not known. Prospects of
peace in Sonora, however, appear to
have vanished.
General Obregon, the Carranza
commander who has been held es
pecially as a hostage by Villa, Is due
in Ell Paso late to-day or. tomorrow
where he will confer with George F.
Carrothers, American agent at the
border.

CITY SEALER GIVES
HOUSEWIVES A TIP
TContinued IRON First Page1

slider it quite a favor if the license
number of the vendor is noted and
reported to the office of weights and
measures.
Our advice is" said Mr.. Reel, that
the housewife will do we'll by refus-
ing to purchase from any vendor or
huckster who will not tell what he is
selling or in what quantities"
Every bushel of potatoes must
weigh sixty pounds" went on Mr..
Reel" and the fact that the dealer
has a sealed measure doesn't neces-
sarily excuse him, as the law fixes
certain standard. The dealer him
self, when purchasing his commodi-
ties, will insist upon getting sixty
pounds to the bushel by weight. but
some of them, for some reason or
other. refuse to sell to the consumer
this way.
Apples. too, should be watched.
The housewife should get a full fifty
pounds to the bushel in buying the
fruit
Now" concluded the city sealer,
"just this one last tip. Do not be
afraid to ask your dealers for the
weight or measure of the article which
you buy. This is only a courtesy due
you and cannot hurt the dealer"

To FINISH STRETCH
Of WALL To MACLAY

Continued From First Pagel
rock upon which the stringers must
rest This work has proceeded slow
ly for some time.
Unless storms interfere there eeems
to be little doubt that the work will
be entirely completed MS far as Ma
clay street during the present season.
There has been some interruption of
the undertaking in the neighborhood
OF South street where one of the sub
contractors ceased operations some
time ago. This seems to be a Jonah
section fnasmuch as the concrete work
was stopped at this particular point
last Fall.
Sewer Outlets Installed
Most of the sewer outlets in the wall
have been installed and 1t is expected
that these will all be finished before
any rise of the river interferes. Not
much headway has been made in the
removal of the deposits along the low
shore line outside the wall and unless
more energy is put into this part Of
the work. 1t is probable that 1t will
not be cleared up during the present
season. The river Is now down to
the low stage and 1t was expected
that this dirt would be removed be-
fore cold weather.
Sufficient progress has now been
made that the average citizen team un-
derstand what the plan contemplates
and there has been general commen-
dation of the work from one end of
the city to the other. Park Com
missioner Taylor is following UP the
completion of the steps in the south
ern part of the city with the grad
ing of the slope to the depressed sec
tion of the park along the wide grano-
lithic walk. No start has yet been
made on the walk north of Market

not be surprising If President Wilson

to be delayed indefinitely.
Although the latest quarrel between
Villa and Carranza is attributed by
Carranza to Villas detention of Obre-
gon and failure to explain that act
well-informed officials believe the rup-
ture was the elimination of weeks of
political maneuvering on the part of
both Villa and Carranza, in which
each endeavored to control the ma
