 St Paul, Minn., July S.-Andrew Carnegie has under consideration a plan for establishing libraries in country districts that would call for a contribution oG $75,000,0 ,000 or S100, 100000 by the steel magnate, ac- cording to announcement made here in. the National Educational associa. tion convention by Philander P. Clax- ton, United States commissioner O. education, at a meeting of state school superintendents.
 MT. Carnegie was interested in the proposal" ClaXton said, and asked me how much money it would re quire told him probably $75,00O,OOO and possibly $10O.0OO,O0O.
 He is determined to give his money away and to die poor, and here is an opportunity.
 "There are 2,200 counties in our na- ton with no public libraries, and only 75 counties where the people have access to libraries.
 q talked these conditions over with MT Carnegie and told him of the needs of libraries in country districts
 From what he said l have reason to believe that if counties make the proposition to him that cities made buy the lot if he will erect the build. ing-Mr. Carnegie would do his share"

(WNU News Service.)

Washington, July S.-The outcome of parleys at Torreon, where envoys of Carranza and Villa discussed causes that led to the arrangement between the constitutiOnalist chiefs, anXiously was awaited here. While news from Torreon declared the re suits of the meeting would be entire. ly satisfactory to the constituuonalist cause, yet reports from other sources asserting that the conference was in a deadlock caused some uneasiness.
 Plans for a meeting between repre- sentatives of Huerta who took part in the Niagara mediation proceedings and delegates of the constitutionalists would await the results of the Tor reon parleys, it generally was be- leved here, The trouble in the Tor reon situation, it appeared, was based on disputes over the personnel of the advisory boards surrounding both Carranza and Villa. Each side, it was said, was demanding the elimination of certain counselors of the other.
 Indications that preliminary prepa- rations were under way for eventuali- ties in Mexico City were contained in reported statements of John B. Slli- man former American vice-consul in Saltillo, now on his way from Wash ington to Carranza's S headquarters Silliman was quoted as having said that he would plead with constitutions alist leaders for the life of Huerta if the dictator were captured in Mexico City.
