No Dancer in Licht.

An English authority assures us
that we need not be afraid that the
ultraviolet rays in the electric light
will harm our eyes, for the reason
that, since glass of all kinds is opaque
to these rays, no form OF incandescent
lamp having a glass bulb can emit
them. Nor can any arc lamp or mer.
curry vapor lamp be harmful which is
so enclosed.

legislative measures Of the admins
tration was begun today by the Sem
ate committee on interstate commerce.
1t was determined at the outset that
no public hearings other than those
to be held by the House committees
would be necessary. An amendment
proposed today would limit to GER
tain extent the publicity feature of the
measure by prescribing particularly
that no trade processes, list of Gus
toners or like trade secrets submit
ted to the commission by corpora
tons should be made public. AS the
bill now stands all information con-
corning the business Of corporations
Is required to be made a matter of
public record. Another amendment
will be proposed later to enlarge the
powers and scope of the commission.
Hearings before the House judiciary
committee will begin tomorrow on the
various bills proposed to supplement
the Sherman act.
Rep. Clayton, the chairman, today
asked Reps. Stanley OF Kentucky,
Henry Of Texas (Dems) and Lenroot
Of wisconsin (Rep), who are not mem

the hearing. All are particularly in

suggest amendments to perfect the
bills tentatively drafted.

MAY RAISE THE
ARMS EMBARGO
ACROSSBORDER,

Washington, Jan. 2S.-The ever-re-
current appeal of the Mexican Con-
stitutionalists for permission to pur-
chase arms in the United States on
an even footing with the Huerta gov
eminent may soon be granted. Though
President Wilson and Secretary Bry-
an have reached no final determination
on that point. the Washington gov
eminent today is strongly inclined to
such course as the next step in it's
Mexican policy. Informal Inquiry
among prominent administration of
fioials today disclosed the fact that
practically the entire cabinet, many
members of the Senate foreign rela-
tions committee, and many of the
leaders in Congress generally are
ready to support the President should
ne raise the embargo on arms by proc
lamation.
The recent defalcation by the Huerta
government of the interest on its
bonds, the growing anxiety of Euro
pean nations about the financial af-
fairs of Mexico and the declared in
tention of the Constitutionahsts to
carry the fighting into the thickly pop
ulated cities Of central Mexico are
said to be underlying reasons for some
further development of the American
policy. though no official would pre-
diet today when it would occur.
That the President is giving serious
consideration to the question of arms
is apparent not alone from the trend
of his talk to the Senate foreign re-
lations committee, but from the evil
dence which daily has been coming
to the Washington government of the
disadvantage to which denial of
arms has put the Constitutionalists
The latter have argued that what
ever might be the sympathies of the
United States towards the Mexican
factions. they have by forbidding ex-
portation of arms into Mexico, helped
Huerta
The chief argument being placed
before President Wilson now is that
the Huerta government has experience
ed little difficulty in buying munitions
of war in countries other than the
United States, while the Constitution
alists have been cut off from their
only external source of supply-the
American border-and that in this re-
spect the American policy is one of
partiality instead of neutrality. 4..
The reason for the Presidents re-
fusal of arms to both factions as
stated in his address to Congress last
August was a desire not to add to the
bloodshed. Though there was no un-
derstanding with foreign governments
about expectations of arms, the Unit
ed States then hopeG that the embar-
go on funds would be extended to mu-
nitions of war. The failure of this to
materialize and the persistent deter
mination of the Constitutionalists to
otain arms by the slow process of ov-
grooming federal garrisons, have pro-
longed the struggle beyond the expec-

Requests Grand Jury Action In

Believes Contracts There Controlled

Albany, N. Y, Jan. 2S.-Commission-
er James w. Osborne ordered the tes-
/, timony which was taken before him
today. concerning highway repair
work in Montgomery county referred
: ito the district attorney of that coun-
ty with a request for grand jury ac-
ton. The work was performed by the
, Mohonk Construction Co. of Amster-
dam, of which Peter V. Baird, de-
scribed as friend of Joseph j. Muir
ply, retired Democratic leader OF
Troy, is president.
Mr.. Osborne characterized az grand
larceny the manner in which the
contract was obtained and the work
. performed. He also expressed the opin-
ion that the highway contracts in
that county were controlled by "a po-
, litical coterie consisting of Former
Senator William A. Gardner, Baird,
County Chairman Wemple of that

stretch between Canaiohra and Shar-
on Springs. Built in 1902 at cost OF
$4,000. it was re-surfaced in 1912 at a
cost of approximately $4,000.
In addition to this a supplementary

Mr. Osborne. but the testimony be-
fore me today tends to show that the

of the witnesses. Alvin G. Bullock, sec
