The Marquis of Ormonde, the COM

Is hereditary chief butler of Ireland.
One of his predecessors had a tutor
whose name was Joseph. The pupil
promised that when he succeeded to
the title he would give the tutor, who
was in holy orders, a living. In due
course the pupil succeeded, but time
passed and Joseph did not see living
coming his way. 1t happened, howev-
er, that he was asked to preach in
Kilkenny cathedral, and he saw Lord
Ormonde among the congregation.
Discarding the sermon he had prenar-

and gave out the text. "Yet did not
the chief butler remember Joseph, but

Chairman Gilbert K Pollock, Of the
Street Committee, last night.
THE question Is one of the most
important We have had to consider,
and, in my opinion the members of
the committee and all other Council
men, should take their time in digest
ing the proposition, before action ID
taken. We should go slow, and be-
lieve the committee will go slow.
"It will require, in my opinion.
many meetings, and much informa-
ton, before we can vote upon the
question"
From this, 1t is inferred that when
the street Committee meets on Mon
day evening. no date will be fixed for
the hearings on the proposed
franchise. but that it may be left to
the chairman to cal a meeting. at a
time when the members of the COM
mittee feel they have sufficiently in
formed themselves of the details OF
the proposed franchise.

committee, may not be until after

cARRANZA READY TO
 SUSPEND HosTILITiEs
Pending Negotiations With Represent
 atives of Carbaiai.

Washington, July 2O.-General Car ranza today informed the United States government that he was ready to de- clare a suspension of hostilities against the government of Provisional Presi- dent Carbajal, Huerta's successor, pending negotiations with his repre- sentatives for the transfer of authority at Mexico City to constitutionalists.
 The constitutionalist chief expres sed his views in most cordial terms to tive of President Wilson, and Cons Il General Hanna and Vice Consul Roo- ertson, who interviewed him at Mon terey. Not only did he voice a will ingness to receive the commission of three appointed by Carbajal to discuss peace. but said he would send an es- cort to meet him and provide safe conduct through constitutionalist ter ritory.
 Inasmuch as the Carbajal commits sioners are constitutionalists who have been hiding in Mexico City and are thoroughly in accord with General Carranza's policies. as we'll as per sonal friends of MT. Carbajal. the im- precision now is general that the nego- tiations for a transfer of authority of government will be successful
 i General Carranza is insistent, how ever that the surrender of the Car bajal government. should be uncon li- tional. He is willing. his representa- lives declare, to grant limited am- neSty, not as a. condition of sure a- l der, but as a voluntary act of generosi- l ty on the part of the constitutionalists after they obtain the reins of govern ment The constitutionalists intend to
 give guarantees of safety to the people generally, but to prosecute ringleade-s in the plot through which Madero wal l overthrown. Most of the latter. how ] ever, already have left Mexico.

SHIPPERS WORKING TO
 AVERT GAR SHORTAGE
In Movement of countrys 93o ,ooo, ,ooc
 Bushels of Wheat

Washington, July investigations by the department of agriculture's of- flee of markets indicate that shippers and carriers are cooperating more closely this year to avert a. car short age in the movement of the country's 930,000,000 bushels estimated wheat crop
 While it would take 524, 900 cars to move the entire estimated production only about 5S per cent of the crop usually is shipped out of the country where it is grown. On that basis it would require approximately 432,0OO cars to carry this seasons shipments.
 The sentiment is by no means unan- imous among country elevators, says the department, that there will be a ear shortage Expressions from ter minal elevator points indicate there will be shortage in all states.
 It is the consensus of opinion that the increase in car supply does not keep pace from year to year with in- creasing need for cars. The depart ment says that with the indications this year for heavy crop of corn and oats, the movement of those commodi- ties will still further complicate the situation as regards wheat One of the greatest drawbacks has been fall ure to load and unload promptly and too frequent reconsigning of ship ments
