CHIHUAHUA, April 29.-No prop erty belonging to foreigners in the territory held by the constitutionalists will be confiscated in the future. ac- cording to a statement issued today by the Carranza administration. The statement also declared that none had been confiscated in the past with the exception of that belonging to Span iards. It was pointed out that this al- ways had been the policy of the con- stitutionalists, and that in cases where seizure had been made under misap prehension, restitution had been made immediately
 The statement was made in connec- ton with an investigation by CarranZa into the representations from George C. Carothers, special representative of the United States department of state at Fl Paso, regarding the Avino Min ing company owned by British capi- talists, located in the state of Durango. Constitutionalist Governor of Durango advised CarranZa that there is no foundation for the rumor that the Avi no property has been confiscated and that every protection has been given the company in order to allow 1t to continue it's operations.
 Complaints concerning the seizure of foreign property have been given prompt attention. and it was said to- day that in each case investigated, it had been shown that seizure had been made before it had been ascertained that the property belonged to foreign

The Responsibility of the Church was the subject of discussion at the public meeting held last evening in Trinity Pro- Cathedral as a part of the second days sessions of the diocesan convocation of the Protestant Episcopal church. The speakers were Rev. J. M. White of WinsloW, who considered the subject as relates to the church abroad Rev. J. R. Jenkins of Prescott, who spoke with relation to Arizona, and Rev. H. $. Brewster of Bisbee. who handled the subject, with reference to the responsibility of the church for moral and religious education. The general subject under the respective headings was ably handled in each in- stance.
 The convocation has brought to Phoenix practically every Episcopal minister actively engaged in the work of the church in Arizona. There were several additions yesterday to the reg ister of those in attendance, which in clude not only the ministers. but the parish wardens, lay delegates and of ficers of the convocation.
 Mayor Young on behalf of the city addressed the delegates extending welcome and announcing he hoped the accomplishments of the past under the guidance of Bishop Atwood and the clergy might be doubled in the future to the benefit of the church and of the state and nation. The annual address of Rt. Rev Julius w. Atwood, bishop of Arizona, was full of information re- lating to the work of the past year, in- cluding lengthy reference to the tri- ennial convention of the church held in New York last October wherein he eN- pressed the view that we have to be grateful perhaps for some things that were left undone, even though we la | ment other things that were not ac- complished."
 After all," said Bishop Atwood" the real work of the church is not done ir the general convention; that is done ir the quiet and retirement of dioceses and missionary districts. of parishes and mission stations by faithful bish- , ops. priests. churchmen and churchwo- men. who are doing the great work o | the church in striving to realize tho two- fold command of the Master. whicl l is the charter of the church and wa! the burden of all his work and teach

SAN FRANCISCO, April 29-Direct- ing the Pullman company to correct within thirty days numerous conditions found to exist throughout its service in California, the state railroad com mission issued it's findings of a six months investigation. Greatest en- phasis was laid upon inattention of em- ployes to the patrons and the made quacy of the present porterS wages, who are paid s2750 per month. Com pelled to look to the travelling public for it's prinsipal income. the Pullman company is criticised for forcing its employees to rely upon the tip system" Unless there is a reform, the commits sion says it will investigate the rates of the company. with a view to either increase the rates of the corporation so as to enable the company 10 pay proper wages. or determining whether the company has earnings but is not willing to pay fair wage.
 Tt may be all right for persons to reward particularly good service with some gratuity," the commission stated but the Pullman company forces it's patrons to be generous or not get ser vice.
 The Pullman company attempted to make this commission believe it's wag- es were proper and that it did not eX- pect it's employees to secure money from the public. It is hard for us to deter mine which should be criticised more the attitude of the company as regards to wages. or it's supposition that it could make the commission believe a thing which everyone knows is not true It certainly is commentary on modern
