SUCKERS PRICE FOR
FRONT ST. FILL"
STARTLES COUNCIL
Contractors Ask For Seventy Cents
a Load; Nothing Doing"
Lynch

Because of the exorbitant price
asked for the 10000 yards of ex-
cavated earth from the Front street
subway by the Sucker Brothers Con-
struction Company, City Council this
afternoon was unable to accept the
offer which would have solved success
fully the problem of filling" for the
river front from Maclay to Division
streets.
In a letter to Council the contract
ing company agreed to deliver the
20, 600 yards of "fill' on the river front
at 10 cents per two-horse wagonload.
Each of the wagons will haul about a
cubic yard and half.
The letter says.further:
IF you would prefer to pay for the
teaming, we would load the wagons
at the subways and pay the city 10
cents per wagonload for hauling, pro-
viding the teaming, care of the dump
ing etc. is paid for by the city of
Harrisburg"
City Commissioner Taylor said he
supposed the letter was in connection
with a conversation he had had with
the contractors when he obtained lot
of earth for the use of the city parks
below Paxton street.
City Commissioner Lynch declared
the price entirely too high. Twenty
cents a load would have been more
like it and we probably would have
paid that much" said Mr.. Lynch.
But 20 cents That's entirely too
high. The city hasn't 1000 to spend
for that purpose"

Supreme Court Decision
Favors Mechanicsburg
in Street Railway Case
Special to The Teleeyabh

Mechanicsburg, Pa, May 26.-The
decision of the Supreme Court of Penn
sylyania on Friday in the appeal of
Carlisle and Mechanicsburg Street
Railway Company sustained the Su-
perior Court. The case of the Dor.
ough and trolley company is of two
years standing. When the original
franchise of the trolley company was
granted in 1901 a clause gave the bor-
ough the right to regulate the rental
OF the streets at the end of q ten-year
period. That time expired March l,
1911, and the borough passed an ordi-
nance making the yearly rental $1,000.
The trolley company took the matter
into the courts. saying that the charge
was exorbitant. The first fight was
whether or not Judge Sadler, of Cum
berland county, should sit in the case.
as his sons are interested in the trolley
company. He refused a change of
venue and when this was carried to
the Supreme Court by. the borough
that body advised Judge Sadler to call
in another judge. The decision in the
case when tried in the county court.
Judge Gillian sitting, was against the
trolley company and it was carried to
the Superior Court. That court handed
down another decision favoring the
borough. Then the trolley company
secured a special writ to have the case
reviewed by the Supreme Court, and it
sustained the decision of the Superior
Court.

MEX|CANS FAIL TO
Issue STATEMENT
ON LAND QUESTION
After Consideration They Decide
to Defer Announcement
Indefinitely

Niagara Falls, Ont, May 26.-The
wind has suddenly veered once more.
When all seemed going we'll and every
one was optimistic and the Mexican
delegates, believing they had reached
an accord with the Americans, were
about to issue formal statement ex-
planatory of their position on the
land question and regretting that it
was clearly impossible for them to
give guarantees as to the action of
new and sovereign and recognized
government, there same a sudden
halt.
The Mexican delegates had their
stenographic work finished, their hec-
tograph ready to print the document,
and then they stopped. They said
they had concluded to issue no pro-
nunciamento. 1t would be Indiscreet
they said. 1t might disturb the salts
factory progress of the mediation.
Then, when every one, amazed at
TINS sudden step, were specializing
upon the reason for it and the air was
hlled with rumors, probable and alb
surdly improbable, the American dele
gates dashed up in their automobile
There was a hurried mounting the
staircase to the room of the mediators
the door of the mystic Chamber was
slammed, and a prolonged and ear
nest conversation" was entered upon
VIII not halt mediation.
1t was obvious that there must be
some more definite assurance respect
ing the land question to meet the de-
clared purpose of President Wilson
Precisely how it was to be worked
out, was not altogether clear, but lit
tie doubt was felt by those particIpat-
ing, that 1T would be worked out.

that the American colony in Mexico

eminent that 1t was greatly pleased at
