UNITED STATES
ASKS CARRANZA
FOR ARMISTICE
Takes Up Appeal of carbajal
With Rebel Chief to Stop
Bloodshed.

WASHINGTON. July 30-Efforts
were made today by the United States
TO influence General carranza to
bring about an immediate armistice in
Mexico. This action followed an ap-
peal from Provisional President Car
bajal to the effect that further fight
ing not only was unnecessary, but
inhumene, in view Of the certain sue
cess Of the peace negotiations"
Secretary Bryan telegraphed john
r. Silliman, personal representative
of President Wilson, with Carranza,
urging suspension of hostilities
The situation from the viewpoint Of
Carbajal was outlined in the follow
ing statement prepared by his per-
sonal representative here, Jose Cas-
tellot, after receiving a long message
from Mexico City.
Provisional President Carbajal is
fully resolved to carry out nego-
tiations on the general basis already
agreed upon. His delegates should
arrive in Saltillo tomorrow and be-
gin conferences Immediately with
General Carranza.
1t is the unalterable purpose of
Mr.. Carbajal to turn over the gov
eminent in a peaceful and dignifed
way. Mr.. carbajal has urged me to
make every effort to obtain. an i'm
mediate armisiice and, if not pos
sible, the suspension of all hostilities
without loss of time, even though
this be not formally declared, but
merely established as an actual fact,
since, in view of the certain success
Of the negotiations about to begin,
any further bloodshed not only would
be unnecessary, but quite inhumane.9

STOLE ELECTRIC
POWER, IS CHARGE
Man Arresed for Alleged Theft
of Current by Means Of
Jumper"

Charged with installing Jumper"
and stealing electric current, Michael
Luzah, an electrician, of 200 Ward
street. was arrested today by Lieu
tenant Fohs and Detective Donnelly,
of the detective bureau. He was
taken to police headquarters and he'd
for arrangement tomorrow. Com
plant was made against Luzah by H.
]. Overman, detective of the Public
Service Electric Company He says
Luzah's Jumper" robbed the COM
pany of more than 500.
The Jumper is a mechanical de-
vice which transports electric current
over a meter. 1t is attached on each
side of the meter, and is made of ma
terial that conducts electricity more
req div than the electric wire.
The current follows the line of
least resistance and jumps over the
meter, Only very small portion of
the current passes through the meter
and is registered.
z Oyerman alleges that tie jumper
was attached every night and re-
moved in the morning. There Is a sa-
loon on the first floor of the building.
The current which propelled fans
in the saloon in the daytime was reg
istered, but tht lighting and fan
power was furnished free at night,
while the jumper was attached, ac-
cording to Overman. He declares the
power has been stolen since May IS.

was the real reason for his disap-
pearance. We used to live in Brook
lyn, and for my part l can't see where
Brooklyn is comparable at all to
Newark. True, there are more places
of amusement open on Sundays there
than here, but in all other respects |

to Brooklyn. Still, | told Harry that
if his heart was so set on Brooklyn
that | would let him go there occa-
sionally. That was too tame for him
though. He wanted to reach there in
more adventurous manner.
THE opportunity presented itself
last Tuesday afternoon, when a
neighbor sent Harry to the grocer.
She gave him a 81 bill. The tempta-
ton to use this vast sum to Harry
was evidently too great. / suppose
he imagined he could charter a yacht
with 1t. Anyway he yielded
The woman whose 81 furnished the
travelling expenses for Harry was al
most overwhelmed with grief, re-
preaching herself for having been in

disappearance. The boys parents
however, treasured her and told her
that Harry had developed a stay

This is not the first time he has
had me half scared to death by stay

When Harry Park, aged fourteen,
who had run away from his home,
7S1 South Eighteenth street, last
Tuesday, was found asleep in cell
lar in Brooklyn yesterday, he told
the policeman who aroused him that
the reason he left home was because
he could not stand Newark's brand
of mosquito.
THE Jersey mosquito is bad
enough anywhere" he said to the
policeman, but he's bigger and car
ries a longer lance in Newark. I
don't want to go back there any
more
Before Judge Wilkin, in the Brook
Ign Children's Court, the boy re-
peated the mosquito complaint and
added that another reason for his
having taken French leave of his
parents was because, from an amuse-
ment point OF view, while Newark
was passable on week days, ii was al
together too slow for him on Sun
days.
The lad was turned over to the
Childrens Society and his father, H.
S. Park was notified.
At the home of the Parks today,
Mrs. Park told an Evening Star re-
porter that Harry had probably
faxed up the mosquito story as she
had never heard him make any
complaint of the sort.
But his dislike of Newark on ac-

WILL STEM TIDE
IN MOSQUITO WAR
Exterminators to Build bikes
to Keep Water from Meadow
Breeding Spots.

New methods for fighting the mos
quitoes that breed on the meadows
have been devised by Chief Inspector
John w. Dobbins. The revised plans
were brought about by the continued
heavy rainfall and high tides of the
last few weeks. These weather con-
ditions caused the breeding of thou
sands of mosquitoes which took to
the wing and escaped from the
meshes of the exterminators.
The old method of digging bitches
in the meadows for drainage pur-
poses is to be discontinued in favor
of bikes with gates. The bikes will
be constructed like levees and will
serve to keep the high tides from the
meadows.
At low tide the drainage gates will
be opened and the meadow will be
drained off through this means. The
new methods will be first tried out
on that part of the meadows between
Dead creek and Wheeler's creek. The
water win be drained into the Ped
die ditch. The flow will be acceler-
ated by the use of pumps.

Nutley Police Sergeant Shot at
While Graphing With Man

of Nutley, last night gamely at

was discharged, Jameson, with the
aid Of Policeman George Plat. man.
aged to jail his man.
The prisoner gave his name as Paul
Milleniski. He said he had no home.
The police consider the arrest i'm
portant and the sergeant has been
commended for his work. Besides
the revolver, the prisoner, when ar
rested was found to have a Jimmy"
several skeleton keys and a screw
driver and other articles.
Word was received at police head
quarters early in the evening. that
two suspicious characters were LOTT
ering in West Nutley. Sergeant
Jameson started for the place. When
he arrived at the West Nutley sta
ton of the Erie railroad he saw A
man inside. The sergeant entered
and the stranger demanded to know
his business. Before the policeman
could make answer the fellow drew
a revolver and pointed it directly at
the sergeant.
oeALiA11bli 4iiciAt a LOT his
and nabbing him brought his night
stick into play. He finally forced the
fellows arms above his head and held
them there. The stranger Tough.
hard to free himself but the sergeant
was able to hold his own. Milleniski
pulled the trigger of his revolver and
a shot rang out. This brought Po-
liceman Plat on the run. Jameson
directed that the prisoner be dis
armed. This was done and the trio
went to the police station.
Millenoski claimed to have been
only a year in this country He
showed a thorough knowledge of the
section of the country around Buff
falo and said during the past few
weeks he has been in Trenton, New
ark and Passaic. He denied ever
having committed a robbery, hut adj
mitted having sold a watch and
other articles in Passaic.
When asked why he carried the re-
volver and other things found on him
he gave a peculiar reason for each.
He had the revolver, he said, to kill
himself if he did not get work soon.
With the Jimmy he intended to cut a
nail in his shoe and the screw driver
would also be needed in that task.
He had files, he said, for sharpening
pencils and knives.
Millenoski did not know how he
came by watch chain that was
found on him. He said he found the
keys.

The tests were made by Deputy
Sealers Patrick ]. Caufield, Jerome
Nusbaum. Thomas Pupilella and
city sealer.
In all, they tested Sforty-four scales
In railroad stations, drug stores, sa-
looms and on street corners. of that
number thirty-four were condemned,
bringing the percentage up almost to
rs per cent.
At the Market street station of the
Pennsylvania railroad four of the
five penny-in- the-slo scales were
condemned. The inspectors say these
were from one and one-half to three
pounds out of the way. The same
percentage of defective scales were
found at the Lackawanna railroad
station, four out of the five scales be-
ing condemned. Of the four scales at
the Broad street station of the Cen
trail railroad, three of the four were
condemned They were from two to
three pounds out of the way
AT the Fourth avenue station #
the Erie railroad the deputies con.
demned both scales. Each of them
registered two pounds above the cor
rect weight The only penny-in the
slot machine at the Lehigh Valley
railroad station was condemned.
The most defective scale found by
the deputies is in front of the drug
store of r. NJ Laird, Clinton avenue
and Monmouth street. When the
deputies placed a 200-pound weight
on the scale, the dial registered 173
pounds. A scale at the corner of
Bridge and Broad streets was found
to be eight pounds light, and a SINH
lar condit on was found in the scale
at the corner of Elizabeth and Clin-
ton avenues.
At the corner of Polk and Ferry
streets the deputies found scale
that made no response at all to pen
MES inserted in the slot. This con-
dition was found in many others
tested. They were promptly con-
demned.
In ordering the defective scales
condemned, City Sealer Sullivan
maintains that persons who use them
are plainly deceived, for across the
front of the scales are the words
"Your correct weight" There is no
state law or city ordinance, City
Sealer sullivan says, under which the
owners of the scales may be arrest
ed. The only thing that can be done,
he says, is to condemn the scales.
'rhe crusade Will be continued, Mr..
Sullivan says until every penny-in-
the-slo scale in the city has been
tested. In ALL he estimates, there
Nafe about 1000 in the city.

THE NUMBER OF FLESHY
PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY
IS DECREASING

The popularity of the physical Gull
ture fad with its accompaniment Of
discussions regarding diet. has doubt
less been responsible for part of the
steady country wide decrease in over
weight; also the last few years have
developed several flesh reducers which
have been very important factors in
causing this decrease. Among these
we consider the following one, which
can be made at home with very little
trouble, as far the best and II
doubtless costs the least. Put four
ounces OF parnotis, which you can
get from your druggist, in IL pints
hot water and strain when cool. Take
a tablespoonful before meals until
weight is where you want it. No
harm results from the use Of the
parnotis treatment, and the flesh is
left solid and the skin soft and
smooth.
