DECIDES UPON STEPS FOR RE.
STORING PEACE IN REPUBLIC
Only An Unexpected Move in Country
Itself Will Further Delay
Action, 10 Report.

Washington. Aug. 2.-Definite steps
toward restoration OF peace ln Mexico
will be taken Immediately upon Presi-
dent Wilson's return to Washington
next week. What specific action the
President may have decided on has
not been disclosed, but it was authori-
tatiyely stated that the executive de.
partments of the government were pre-
pairing to carry out promptly the PRO
gram he determined ON.
Only an unexpected move in Mex
leo itself to end the strife, it is said
would further delay affirmative action
by the United States to restore consti-
tutional government in the war-torn
republic.
Armed intervention is not believed
to be contemplated in the Presidents
program. Many officials believe no
forceful measures will be required Re.
cent reports have reached here that
the faction leaders are inclined to yield
to the demands of this government for
q peace conference.
To Give Final Chance.
Reports generally are credited that
a message will be sent to the opposing
leaders, giving them a final chance to
cease hostilities within a limited time
and assemble conference to settle
their differences. Possibilities of an
other failure to do SO im view of the
last refusal of General Carranza to
Join in conference with his adver-
saries is being considered by the Pres.
ident, it is declared in formulating a
plan of action.
Whether in that event a general EN-.
barge on arms expectations will be
imposed or American troops employed
to assure transportation of food to the
starving people of the country. cannot
be predicted. 1t is known, however,
that the army and navy have been pre-.
pairing and now are ready for any

phatic. While not couched as de.

London, Aug. 2.-The Russians now

was narrowed to federal grand jury
and the steamboat inspection service
under Secretary Of Commerce William
G. Redfeld
The ship, still lying on its side
where it fell at it's wharf, was taken
over by federal marshal on orders
from Judge X. M. Lands of the United
States district court. The county
grand jury, it was decided by States
Attorney Maclay Hoyne, probably did
not have sufficient jurisdiction to ac-
complish anything and ceased its in
qury for the present.
Develops Few New Facts.
Secretary Redfeld's examination of
steamboat inspectors continued, but
developed few new facts. Charges
that the steamboat inspection service
would not be stringent enough with
its own members continued and elicit
ed from Secretary Redfield a repeti-
tion of the statement that the inquiry
was according to law and that judg-
ment should not be passed until the in
vestigation was ended.
Before Mr.. Redfeld began his rear
1ngs labor leaders issued statements
declaring that the department of COM
merce inquest would be a whitewash
for federal inspectors. These labor
leaders telegraphed a protest to Pres
tdent Wilson, but received no reply.

son, Assistant Corporation Counsel

SURVEY OF STATE LAND
Pavilion Hotel Encroaches on State
Property, Engineer Says.


Franklin II. Dewart, civil engineer.
has prepared an elaborate report en-
titled Search of Titles and Survey
OF the State House Grounds AT Mont
pelier.' 1t makes substantial vol
ume of about $50 pages.
The report contains a full abstract
of all land titles relating to this prop
erty from 1881, when the town of
Montpelier was chartered, up to the
present day. and is illustrated by a
series of plans showing beside the
usual engineering details the pro-
gress of the title and that of adjacent
lands
The survey originated from the
fact that T j. Heaphy, proprietor of
the Pavilion, a few years ago shut
out the public from convenient pass
way, used by it, which now proves
to be mostly on land owned by the
state, and ii also appears that nearly
two and one-half feet of the west end
of the>hotel porch is upon state land.
The report is especially timely in
view of the fact that the legislature
passed an act appropriating $4,000
for the purpose of extending or en-
larging the present capitol building
or for erecting within the city OF
Montpelier, and upon lands which the
state owns. building for the use OF
the state library. the supreme court
