Favorable Comment of Expeditions
 Action by Commission.

New York, July 20.-The State workmen's Compensation commission, designed to settle employers liability claims without court procedure, held it's first hearing. here today and dis- posed of two eases within two hours. The contrast between this expeditions handling of claims and protracted court methods under the old liability law, was the basis of much favorable comment.
 Tt would have taken a court and jury weeks to dispose of these two cases which we have just finished this morning" said Robert E. Bowling. chairman of the commission. The hard work has consisted in preparation for this work. The Judgment of cases in itself is a mere pastime"
 In one of the cases today an award was made to the widow of Curtis w. Althen, carpenter killed while work ing on the Equitable building, of 80 a month for life and s1o a month for her four wear old child. The award was based on 90 per cent. eemputa- ton of the workman's salary-the reg ular rate prescribed by the commits sioH's regulations.
 In the second case. reafer's widow was awarded s9.as a month and SEA- month for her 13 year old child, the latter amount payable until the child is IS.
 More than 11,eee claims for injuries and ss claims for deaths have been filed with the commission, which will sit daily throughout the year. Each hearing is conducted as & judicial pro- ceediHg, all witnesses testifying under oath.

CHASE GIRL FOUND.
Her Return as Mysterious as Her Dis 'apPesranee-Darmer Not Implicated.

Gladys P. Chase the 1s-year-old Somerville, Mass, girl who disappear ed from her home last week and set the police of greater Boston on the trail of Frederick ". Darmer, formerly of this city, has been found-and she was not with young Darmer.
 Boston paper of Monday after noon had the following relative to sthe finding of the girl and it seems to bear out many of the claims that Darmer made as to his not knowing where the girl went to when she disappeared:
 A much greater mystery surrounds the finding of Gladys P Chase, the thirteen-year- daughter of MT. and Mrs. Sidney Chase of No. 4s Brook avenue, Roxbury, who disappeared from the home of her sister Mrs. Leon Hope Adams, No. Al Dix street, Ashmont, than enveloped her going away.
 The girl was located at the home of Mrs. Henry R. Deyine. No. Is Hol- den street, Dorchester, by her mother and Special Officer Williams.
 At the home of the girls sister it was said Gladys was now at the home of her mother. At the latter home, MT. Chase admitted that she had seen her daughter, but was unwilling to say where she was now.
 Somerville, who. it was alleged, had run away with the girl, recently wrote to the girls sister denying he had anything to do with her disappearance and offered to assist in finding her Mrs. Devine said today she did not know the girl had been reported miss ing

BANK coRPoRATeRs MEET.
Only to Adjourn to July 31st-No Ae- ton Taken, Although Four Courses Were Discussed.

The annual meeting of the corpor- ators of the Putnam Savings bank, held in the bank here Monday after noon, was adjourned without any ac- tion being taken relative to the re opening of the institution The ad iournment was until July s1. It is un- derstood that there was no discussion as to election of new corporators, trustees or officers.
 It was announced after the meeting that the report of the appraisers who went over the banks securities a few days ago was read, this announcement not being made by any of the banks s officers, and that the report indicated four courses of action for the bank to follow as way out of the troubles that caused it to be closed by the bank commissioners during the last days of December. 1913.
 The first course suggested as feas- ible was liquidation, the second mak- ing up of the deficiency of approxi- mately s1e0,0aO by the trustees from their personal wealth, which they are not obligated to do and such an ac- ton would have to be purely volun- tary; third. the scaling of deposits in sufficient degree to offset the defi- ciency: fourth, keeping the banK closed until the institutions earnings from it's i investments make up the deficiency, no payments on principal or of interest to be made to -deposit0Fs meanwhile. It is not known that any nf these courses of action was directly recpfn- mended. although it is understood that

BRYAN SURE OF PEACEFUL
 AGREEMENT IN MEXICO.
Will Soon Be Reached Between Car
 bajal and Carranza.

Washington, July 20. = Secretary Bryan was confident today a, peaceful agreement would be reached soon be- tween Francisco Carbajal, HuertI's successor. and General CarranZa, for the transfer of the government at Mexico City to the constitutionalists.
 Mir Bryan conferred with Jose Cas- tellot, personal representative of Pre- yisional President Carbajal. The latter brought official word of the restoration of constitutional guarantees and the evacuation of San Luis Potosi by he federals. Mir. Castellot was inclined to attach little importance to the last note from the constitutionalists agency here to the South American mediators expressing an unwillingness to discuss terms of peace, not only with repr9- sentatives of General Huerta, but those of any government derived from the dictatorS regime.
 We are waiting he said, for the attitude of General Carranaz toward the commissioners now on their way from Mexico City to confer with him.
