FIRE ALARM SYSTEM
 DECLARED ANTIQUATED

Fear that a fire may break out dur ing the periods when the tower bells of the city are striking o'clock, 5 D.. m. or noon, and that in consequence of the open circuit 1t may not be reported in time to check conhagra- ton in the cfty's center, has caused Commissioner John H. Tague to ad- vocate the semi automatic system here tos the fire commissioners. It was urged that a dre-proof signal sta ton also be constructed to prevent en- tire destruction of the signal system in the event of fire in the present building.
 With 50 per cent. of the nre-appar- atus of the city already motorized and complete equipment estimated to cost not. more than $So 900 it is hoped to soon have every city station furnish ed with motor-drfven trucks and ap- paratus rather than by horse.
 Changes were made at the board meeting last night in House No. l, where at the request of Captain Reil- 1y, wallace Tobin will be assigned to stoker and driver duty on the engine and Joseph Monoha,n will be transfer red to the hose-eart.

DECRY MAXIMUM WEIGHT CHANGE
 IN PARCEL LAW
Express Company Believes It
 will Ruin Business.

That new law increasing the weight of parcel post packages from 20 to 100 pounds maximum, might tend to drive express companies out of bus mess, was the basis of statements made last night by local agent Sam uel Driver of the Adams Express Co. before the meeting of the Business Mems association
 MT. Driver pointed out where the Adams Express Company was now sending the heavier class of pack ages in certain zones for less than the parcel post rates, and was issuing receipts at both ends fnsuring de- livery. This he asserted was not done by the United States aails. He plead ed for protest against the new meas- ure which would make the limit to parcel post weight 100 pounds.
 As a sequence.' to the committee which was appointed by the Business Men last year to look into the ques- ton of a commission form of govern ment, city manager. etc, Samuel E. Vincent, chairman of the committee of five last night presented a resolu- ton for the composition of a. bill which will permit of the election of a char ter commissioner to make changes in the local charter without the necessity of legislation. The matter will be further considered at the State Busi- ness Mems meeting at Pennington, Thursday
 President Joseph H. WhitcoInb will appoint 10 delegates and 10 alternateS for the annual meeting of the State Business Mems association, which will be held October 15

WILSON WITHDRAWS
 VERA CRUZ FORCES

Washington, Sept. 1e-Announce- ment was made by President Wilson. yesterday afternoon that he has or dered the withdrawal of the United States forces from Vera Cruz. The withdrawal will take place just as soon as arrangements can be made for the delivery of the city to the properly constituted Mexican authorities. The Presidents statement on the subject was limited to the following:
 '"rhe troops have been ordered with drawn from Vera Cruz. This action IS taken in view of the entire removal of the circumstances that which was thought to justify the occupation. The further presence of the troops IS deemed unnecessary.
 The Presidents decision to with draw the American forces from Vera Cruz was communicated to the Secre- tary of War and the other members of the cabinet at the meeting after the Presidents arrival from Cornish.
 His decision was based on a report from Paul Fuller, the New York law yer, who succeeded John Lind as a special agent of the President in Mex leo, and who left for the United Statea last week after several days of confer ence with Gen. Carranza, at Mexico City. It is understood that MT. Fuller reported that the withdrawal would greatly faC1l1tAt0 the eAOTGS OK CSE- ranza to establish a stable govern ment in Mexico.
 The continued occupation of Vera Cruz lby the American forces has been a thorn in the side of the Constitu- tionaltsts, and the prestige of Carranza was threatened if he did not succeed in bringing about the withdrawal of the American forces. His generals a1- ready had initiated 8 movement to bring pressure upon Carranza to de- mand the removal of the American forces.
 It is believed that Carranza. has sat- tsfied MT. Fuller that the Const1tu- tionaIists will proceed with good faith to the best of their ability to organize government which shall be devoted to the purpose of holding elections for the creation of a government in full accord with the provisions of the con stitutfon in Mexico and the principles embodied in the platform of the Con- Stitutiona1ist revolution.
 The Presidents announcement was great surprise here. Even Constitu- tionalists who have been informally urging Secretary Bryan to bring this about had not expected the withdraw al from Vera. Cruz quite soon.

ORPHANS HOME HARRIS.

NJ. Il. Harris OF the Cornish Or
phans Home is in ardmore today
with several boys from the home.
He will introduce the boys to the
Ardmore people at 2:3O this afternoon
at the high school auditorium.
In the past few months there have
been some attacks made upon the
home. Kate Barnard and the home
superintendent are not getting along
very well. Some meetings were held
in Ardmore at that time, and the peo-
PIE were made acquainted with the
adverse side of the home. Mr.. Har
ris asks now for a hearing, while
he presents his side of the contro-
veTsy. He is making sacrifices to
care for the orphan children of the
state, How well he has succeeded
the children themselves will bear tes-
timOny. w. S. Wolverton and other
members of the executive board of
the home have recently made a thcr-
oueh examination of the institution
t. include in their annual report.
That report is a favorable one for
the home, and the published report
shows that the home has the respect
and confidence of the people who live
in Cornish
Mr.. Harris deserves to be heard
by as many Ardmore people as appre-
ciate his sacrifices to care for those
who cannot care for themselves.
