 Agencies Agree
 The Carranza and Villa agencies have agreed in their public announce ments, probably never before since they were established. The fact that both agreed that a new movement was afoot in Mexican affairs was regarded as more than usually significant
 Enrique Llorente, confidential agent In Washington of General Villa, issued the following statement:
 "The confidential agency has re- ccived most authentic information that on a train early this morning en route from Kansas City to El Paso, there passed through San Antonio, Tex, Generals Ygnacio Bravo, Eduardo Caus Vicente Callero, Jose Alessio Robles Victor Huerta, Enrique Corostieta and several other military chiefs with for rier congressman and senators of the Huerta administration.
 'It is also reported though not stated positively. that Victoriano Hu- erta is with the party.
 ''The agency is advised that the pur- pose of the visit of these former Huertis- tas to Fl Paso is to organize expeditions against Juarez and Ojinaga, with mer- cenaries recruited along the border.

THEO LACY BEFORE PROBE COMMITTEE:

minds of some of the committee mem- bers because the first words of the chairman were, That crowd looks like it is disappointed" as the onlook- CTS swept into the hall when the doors were opened.
 The muchly touted big hog was not "let out of the bag" at least at the hearing yesterday, and while nothing leaked out from the inside it was sug- gested by several reporters and others that the records of the meeting must have read like this:
 Lacy Enters
 Lacy enters hall. shakes hands with all members of the committee and is seated.
 Your name is Lacy, is it not?" was the first query.
 Tt is,'' was the firm reply of the fa- nous man.
 Where's that money at?" shot a oues- tioner.
 "Ain't it hot replied the former chief clerk.
 Do you know anything about Emmet O'Neal that you want to trade off" came a quick question.
 "Whut have you got to trader" came the reply.
 'Nuthin,' unused one of the cotton mouths.
 Don't know nothin', then" Theo must have replied.
 Who got that money?" asked one of the sleuths.
 Well, let's see, I spent dime fer car fare, bought a beer with a nickel, vent to picture show with anothCr iiclSel ard I think-Im not sure--but think bought magazine with 15 cents, and the rest of it-well, I just can't remember right now. What do you think about Bill Bryan leaving the cabnet?'
 After some more testimony alorg the same lines the quest must have been given up, for the door was thrown open and the crowd permitted to enter. Lacy had left through anothsr door. As the ferry boat crossed the Tallapoosa river a ripple of waves could be noticed Lacy was chuckling.

OFFICIALLY transmitted to the American government it's advices on the subject.
 ''The confidential agency was advised today that the Carranzista army, under General Oregon was repulsed at Peneu- las, south of Aguascalientes.
 The Carranza agency issued the follow ing statement:
 Former officers of the federalist army are concentrating at Fl Paso with view to organizing a new movement against the constitutionalist government in Mex co and in favor of the reactionary ele- ments according to information received today. In the group en route just now for El Paso are Generals Bravo Caus and Elseo Robles, together with a num- Der of officers of lower rank in the old army of Porfrio Diaz and Vietoriano Huerta.
 Gathering at El Paso, it is known that the plan of the ex-federals is to eliminate Villa. assuming control of his forces and driving that army into line for the old regime. This is the plan of Gen. Felipe Angeles and it is on his in- itiation and as the result of his recent activities in the United States that the movement has been started.

REMAINING STREETS

To the Editor of the TELEGRAPH:
| noticed with much pleasure your
editorial urging our City Commission
ers to rename many of our streets after
the counties.
A few years ago, when, as assistant
secretary of the Harrisburg Board OF
Trade, l wrote long article urging
this same action and defining ways OF
changing some street names to names
of counties. you published the same
and made favorable editorial comment
on it.
also commented favorably on it and
some members of the then Councils OF
the city secured copies of the article
but nothing officially was done at that
time, or since along the lines advo-
Gated
The suggestion made was that. as at
the National Capital. all the main ave-
the Union pennsylvania being the
most prominently. so in Harrisburg the
counties of the State should be repre-
sented and honored by having streets
named for them We already have
some streets named after counties, such
as Cumberland, Susquehanna, Wash
ington, Fulton. Jefferson, Schuylkill,
Cameron, Montgomery. Green, Dau-
phin. etc, but street could be found
for all the counties.
1t was proposed to name the most
northern street in the city, Northum-
berland; the street on the eastern limit
Lebanon, and the street on the south
ern limit, Lancaster
1t was suggested that many street
names could be changed to names of
counties and still have a similar sound
such as PETER to Perry, Balm to Blair,
Vine to Venango, Summit to Somerset
Oxford to Bedford. Hummel to Hun

STARTING RIGHT

THE action OF the presiding Of
fcers of the two legislative
- chambers and of the chairmen
of the appropriations commit
tees in assuring Governor Brumbaugh
last night that they intended to work
with him in holding appropriations
within the revenues is the right kind
of action. 1t starts off the General
Assembly with the Governor and the
guiding hands of the two chambers
in harmony on the most important
subject, and experience has shown
that lawmakers can hold the appro-
priations within the estimated revenue
when they will.
Governor Brumbaugh met the legis-
lators fairly and told them what he
desired to avoid and what he hoped
to do. He informed them that if the
appropriations were held where they
should be and due provision be made
for roads, conservation and other
vital projects, that he would CO.
operate in the fullest sense with the
Legislature.
There is no reason to doubt that
the agreement will be kept. 1t will be
of vast benefit for the State to know
exactly what the revenues will be and
that the appropriations will not be
made on any spurious basis, but in
accord with what is in sight

II I1dTuSCTdDDle pIOblSll
again has been referred to City
u Solicitor Seitz by Council with
instructions that he take such
steps as he may deem proper to adjust
values equitably, and, failing in this, to
ask for the appointment of viewers to
fix the figures incident to the con-
demnation of the property involved
along the west side of Front street
between Herr and Calder streets.
The movement to eliminate the
'Hardscrabble" district has been going
very slowly indeed. For weeks abso-
+lutely nothing, so far as the public is
able to see, has been done. 1t looks
now very much as though extreme
efforts will be necessary if the propo-
sition is not to be permitted to dwaddle
along with little result during the
whole of the present year.
There ought not to be any excuse for
further delay in this matter. City
Council by ordinance has decided to
wipe out this district and transform it
into a connecting link of the River
Front park system. The property
owners all know that at best their stay
will be but temporary. The only OBJ
stacle in the way of the requirement of
this land by the city is the difference
OF opinion as to valuations. There is
every indication that City Solicitor
Seitz and the property owners will not
be able to get together on this point.
The next move following such a dis
. agreement would be the appointment
of viewers, as indicated in the reso-
luton passed by Council yesterday, re-
ferring the matter back to Mr. Seitz.
No time, therefore, should be lost in
ascertaining the views of the solicitor
and the owners concerning what their
land is worth and what the city is will
ing to pay in order that the next step
may be promptly taken.
There is nothing to be gained by
delay.

THE BIG CELEBRATION

1T is beyond question that the bulk
of the public improvements to
i which Harrisburg now stands COM
mitted will have been completed be-
fore the close of the approaching sum-
mer. This has been apparent for some
time; so much so, indeed, that the Har-
risburg Chamber of Commerce has laid
it's plans for a great municipal cele-
bration to be held as soon as the river
wall, the river dam. the big sewer sys-
TEN and other public undertakings of
the kind are finished. But the Cham
ber has been embarrassed in its prepa-
rations by failure of City Council to
fix an approximate date for the COM
pletion of the work under it's direction.
Surely the heads of departments, by a
little careful estimating, could be able
to fix for the Chamber. approximately
at least, date which that body might
use as guide in planning for the big
jubilee. Harrisburg people are look
ing forward to this celebration and
they will not take kindly to any action
or failure to act that will delay It un-
necessarily or make it uncertain.

OUR LOCAL CHARITIES

THE Home and Foreign Relief
Committee has undertaken the
= very laudable task OF canvass
ing Harrisburg for the raising
of funds to relieve conditions here at
home and to send garments and food
abroad for those who have been rem
dered homeless and helpless by the
Vicissitude of war.
This is a good work and should be
literally supported. But there is an
other side which we must not forget.
Charity begins at home. In our gen.
erous attempts to alleviate the distress
of the unemployed and to save from
suffering and starvation helpless wo-
men and children abroad we must
not forget our local organized and per-
manent charities These we have all
ways with us and always there is
need for every dollar that those who
conduct them can procure.
Among the institutions that are do
Ing year in and year out their unset

and the suffering are the Associated
Charities, the Children's Aid Society.
the Harrisburg Hospital, the Poly
clinic Hospital, the Home for the
Friendless, the Nursery Home, the
Maternity Home, the Florence Critten-
don Home, the Children's Industrial
Home, the Sylvan Heights Orphanage.
the Salvation Army, the Rescue Mis-
sion and others too numerous to men
ton. These must not be made to cur
tail their operations through lack of
funds because we have given gener-
