CONTRACT PRESENTS
A WORRYING PROBLEM
American Manufacturers of Bunting
Protest Acceptance of an
English Bid.

The Secretary Of the Navy has another
problem in contracts. this time one re-
lating to the purchase of supply Of
bunting for the navy. Some weeks ago
bids were received for this material from
English manufacturer, and it proved to
be the lowest by nearly $4,000 as COM
pared with the next lowest. The English
bid was s25.617. The next bid amounted
to $4,000, and. while an American con-
Germ submitted 1t. the material was to
come from an English manufacturer. The
other bids were much higher
Protests From Manufacturers.
The Navy Department has received pro-
tests from American manufacturers and
labor organizations against an award of
contract which shall seem to favor a
foreign source of supply. even when the
contractor is an American who buys
the material abroad. 1t is pointed out
that this action will send good American
money out Of the country for the benefit
of European laborers and deprive the
domestic shops and the American work
men of business and wages. The poIiti-
cal opponents of the administration
have been quick to see the advantage
OF advertising a policy which appears
to favor the foreign to the detriment of
the American laborer.
Is Perplexing Situation.
These circumstances place the admin
istration in something of a predicament
and leave the Secretary of the Navy
in more or less of a perplexity. The
difference in the bids Is sufficient to
make it necessary to carefully consider
the foreign bids. which on this one con-
tract represents saving of nearly
$4,000, it is pointed out, while the po-
litical capital which may be made out
Of the continuance of the policy of
placing navy contracts abroad Is some
thing which may not be lightly disre-
garded.

Pesquiera Thinks Military Leader
Will Make Amends for
Juarez Incident.

Ell PASO, Tex, June 27.-Discussion of
the Carranza-villa estrangement was re-
opened yesterday by Roberto Pesquiera
confidential agent for the constitution
alists here, who formerly was stationed
at Washington. He gave out the text
of one Of his kilograms in a series OF
communications with Gen. Villa. in which
he criticised the northern military zone
commander for denying the arrest by his
troops of national constitutionalist on
Gals at Juarez and the conflscation of
national treasury funds there.
Mr.. Pesquiera told Gen. Villa that he
considered 1t useless to deny the actual
facts so well known here at the border"
Gen. Villas answer to this telegram,
sent June 20 has not yet arrived. Pes
quiera also issued a statement asserting
that Villa was surrounded by certain
persons. some of whom were the direct
cause Of the disaster that befell the ad-
ministration Of President Madero."
Telegram to Villa.
The text of Pesquiera's telegram to
Villa follows:
Your telegram confirms my belief in
your LOYALTY and patriotism. which today
more than ever before is necessary to
prompt triumph Of our cause. The in
cidents that have caused comment in the
press have been the violent arrests OF
employees of the Gobernacion and the
treasury departments and the fact that
military authorities of Juarez have taken
possession Of the funds that rightfully
belong to the general treasury. so that it
is hard to convince rightful thinking
people of the consistency of your decla-

Undoubtedly due to the many preoc-
equations of Gen. Villa incident to his
victorious Zacatecas campaign. he has
not had time to answer this telegram. 1t
Mr.. Pesquiera said. but l have positive
information that he already has given
orders that all constitutionalist employees
who were carried to Chihuahua as prison
ers will be allowed Immediately to re-
turn to exercise their respective func-
tons at Juarez, and also that he has or
dered that all funds and valuables which
rightfully belong to the national con-
stitutionalist treasury be returned at
once.
IT also am informed that Gen. Villa
has been apprised and has personal
knowledge of the work of some political
followers, some of whom were the direct
cause of the disaster that befell the ad-
ministration of President Madero, who
knowing the rectitude and severity Of
Gen Carranza toward financial and
political intrigues took advantage of the
good faith and simplicity of Gen. Villa.

which Orrin G. Cocks, advisory secre-
| tary of the board, has written for the

some interesting details for mothers ana

Gently aroused widespread public dis

established in four states and many
cities. And bill is pending in Con-

Especial interest, therefore. attaches
to a statement recently issued by the
national board of censorship of motion
pictures giving it's present policy and

jects a week, covering 95 per cent of the
industry. These pictures are daily seen
by about 100000 people in $1,000 motion
picture houses in the United States. Last
year So film subjects were entirely con-
demned and parts were eliminated from

The total cost Of negatives and copies
kept or the American market was more
than $3.50 600. The board sends out week
ly bulletin of all the pictures passed
for the week with or without parts elm
mated, and those which have been con-
demned. These bulletins go to some 400

committees and interested individuals
The boards statement Of its policy

to criticise or exclude from the screen

Will Danish Imposters.

Gen Villa, upon becoming acquainted
with the work of these individuals, it ap-
pears, has resolved to rid himself of
many Of these imposters of all nationali-
ties who had been directly beneftins, I
repeat. by using him as the medium of
these lucrative and unsanctioned exploit
tations.
Undoubtedly with this great and pru-
dent resolution OF Gen. Villa and with
the radiance of several bad elements that
surrounded Gen. Carranza. that so much
discussed rupture will convert itself into
a perfect understanding and unification
Of the constitutionalist cause, which we
soon will see crowned with complete sue
cess.
