Carranza Will Assist
in Suppressing Bandits
Along Mexican Border

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, November l.
Robert V. Pesqueira, personal repre-
sentative of Gen. Carranza. states that
commission will be appointed by the
de facto government of Mexico within
few days to cooperate with United
States officials in suppressing bandit
activity along the Texas Mexican bor-
der.
Mr. Pesqueira conferred with Gov.
Ferguson of Texas Saturday. and yes
tcrday met Mayor Brown of Browns
vile and q delegation of citizens &C the
lower Rio Grande valley here. He viii
join Gen. Carranza when the first chief
arrives at Piedras Negras this week.
I'm addition to the appointment OF a
commission to study the situation and
events which have led to the present
state of unrest" MIR. Pasqueira said,
troops now stationed at Matamoros
and nearby Rarrisons will be reinforced
and efforts will ne made to prevent the
crossing of bandits from Mexico into
the United States, and, in turn, from
Texas into Mexico.
The Carran@a government has been
informed that many abuses have been
offered to poor and uno5trusive MeXi-
cans. In many instances poor and
harmless people from>my country have
lost their lives because of the excite
ment in the valley and as a result of
the high state of feeling. No doubt
Gen. CarranZa will request that more
humane treatment be given these peo-
pie and that their lives and property be
respected
"One thing is certain" Mr.. Pesqueira
declared Gen. Carranza is determined
to have peace on the border, and such
steps as will be necessary to insure
his complete cooperation with the
/ American officials will be taken"

CONFERENCES TOMORROW

Ambassador Won Bernstorff to Call
on Secretary Lansing at the
State Department.

Negotiations between Germany and
the United States regarding the sink
ing of the liner Lusitania and other
questions pending between the two ma

Count Won Bernstorff, the German am
bassador, will call upon Secretary Lam
sing at the State Department. The
question of indemnity for Americans
lost in the sinking of the Arabic still
is unsettled and probably will be
taken up.
The belief prevailed among State De-
parLment officials that Secretary Ian
sing would officially make known to
the German ambassador the result of
the examination of the steel fragment
picked up on the Allan liner Hesperian
which naval experts believe was part
of a torpedo. The German government
in a note has denied that the Hespe-
rian was torpedoed by German sub
marine.

Mr.. Clafin's Letter.

Mr. Clafin. speaking for the District
Delegate Association, said in this letter: !:
y desire to present for your considera-
ton the following proposition, on behalf
Of the District Delegate Association:
I'VE believe the first logical reform in
the affairs cf the District OF Columbia
should be that its people be provided Wlth
an official spokesman, a representative
elected by them at a properly authorized
and conducted election, WHO could thus
speak for them with due and legal au-
thor!ty.
AS matters now stand there is no
ore man or group of men. even i'll this
hearing being conducted by your com
nittee, who has the authority or right
TO say that he or they represent the
taxpayers or the people of the District
of Columbia. No one can do so, as the
District people have had no opportu-
nifty to authorize any one to speak for
them. No one officially knows the ma
iority sentiment of the people of the
District; at best it can only be sur
missed.
our proposition is that the whole
people of the District should be given
a real hearing-an opportunity to ex-
press officially their majority senti
lnent regarding this question which is
so vital to their government. 1t af
fects the community as a whole and
the community whole should be
heard from before a radical change is
made. No man should be accepted by
your committee as a spokesman for the
local people. and no man should pre-

Rejects Proposals to Put Off
Consideration of Changing
Form of Government.
ENJOYS OF RUSSIA, JAPAN
AND ENGLAND so NOTIFIED
Triumph of Monarchial Idea 1ndi-
Gated by Elections Now On.
U. S. to Take No Action.

PEkING, November 1.-The Chinese
government today rejected the pro-
posals of Japan, Great Britain and
Russia for postponement of the de-
cision whether a monarchal form OF
government is to be re-established.
The decision of the Chinese govern
ment was made known by Tsao Yulin,
vice minister of foreign affairs. He
called at the British. Russian and
Japanese legations and informed the
ministers the Chinese government had
been advised by provincial officials
that they would be able to maintain
tranquility in the event of re-esta blish-
ment of the monarchy. Tsao Yulin
thanked the powers for their friendly
interest in the welfare of China. He
said the decision concerning a change
in the form of government was wholly
in the hands of the people, and that
therefore it would be impossible to
adopt the suggestion for a postpone
lnent.
The vice minister's communication
was verbal, as were the representa-
tons of the three powers.
Elections Now in Progress.
Information received here from Off
cial sources in China makes it appear
that the triumph of the monarchial
idea in the elections now in progress
in China is almost certain, and it is
possible that the change in the form of
government will be announced before
the end of the calendar year.
State Department advices are to the
effect that elections are now In progress
in no less than l,S00 counties, where
the electors are now choosing dele
gates to provincial conventions, which
will meet at the local capitals. These
conventions will select delegates to
meet as a national convention in Pc
king.
The object of the national convention
primarily was to pass upon the work
of the council of state, which has been
revising the Chinese constitution. AS
an after thought, the central govern
ment decided to submit to the national
citizens convention. the question of
the re-esta blishment of the monarchy.
accordine1y in the call issued for the
provincial elections now in progress
the government suggested that the
delegates to be chosen by the provincial
conventions be instructed how to vote
on this important question. 1t is eX-
nected that the work of the local con-
ventions will be finished by November
20. and the national citizens conven-
ton will meet at Peking Immediately

EIGHT-HOUR LAW UPHELD
IN CASE OF DRESSMAKER
Appellate Court Afirms the Jury's
Verdict Against Susan H.
Hotchkiss.

A dressmaker having a fixed place OF
business conductsa n manufacturing es-
tablishment and is amenable to the
"eisht-hour" law if she requires her
eight hours in any one day or more
than forty-eight hours in any one
week This ruling was made by the
District Court of Appeals today in an
opinion by Mr. Justice Van Orsdel.
The appellate court afiirms the verdict
of a jury in the Police Court, which
held Susan II. Hotchkiss to have vio-
lated the law by working female en-

ing to post notices required under the
law and by failing to keep a time book

Four Proposed Amendments
to Be Voted for in Maryland

Special Correspondence of The Star.
ROCKVILLE. Nd, November -Four
proposed amendments to the constitu-
ton of the state, all of great impor-
tance, will be voted upon at tomoTrow's S
election in this county-nameiy the
home rule, referendum. classification
for taxation and parole and indeter-
inmate sentence amendments.
The proposed home-rule amendment,
which has been indorsed by both par
ties, is designed to permit Baltimore
city and each of the counties, by gen.
eral grant from the Legislature, to
control distinctly local matters through
local legislative bodies.
In this way it is hoped to obtain bet
ter legislation upon local matters, be-
cause of the local legislating body
being closer and more responsible to
the local citizenry- The proposed home
rule would also mean that the legisla
ture would be freed of the vast bur-
den of local legislation. and thus en-
able it to devote its entire attention to
state affairs.
Referendum Is Proposed.
The proposed referendum amendment
provides that any act passed by the
LEGISLATURE affecting the entire state
could be required to be submitted to a
vote of the people of the entire state.
BEFORE any act could be submitted,
however, 10000 registered voters, not
more than one-half of whom shall be resi-
dents of Baltimore city, must file a petit
tion with the secretary of state not later
than June l following the adjournment
of the legislature which enacted the meas

Half Demand New Rules.

Forty-three Senate democrats signed
the demand for new rules. and this is
half the Senate. New democratic SEN
ators coming in are to give their sup
port to the forty-three and further ac-
cessions are expected by democratic
leaders from Senators La Toilette,
Clapp. Cummius and possibly other
progressive republicans who have long
been inve!ghins against the old parlia-
mentary methods.
President Wilson is not taking u
hand in the contest. but is interested
iii the plan of the majority. One great
fear of administration leaders has
been that If the Senate republicans
were disposed they would be able to
hold UP the democratic program this
winter and complicate things so as to
require much explaining on the part of
the party in power in the next cam
paign. Those who have not understood
the aggressive scheme of the ma ajority
thought that the old rules might pre-
vail in the Senate at the beginning of
Congress and that If cloture were at
! tempted after the session had begun
the democrats would find a prolonged
/ flibuster on hand and would have to
abandon rules revision to get through
! legislation.

Not Applied in Every Case.

"But it is not to be understood" says

who may be employed to make a dress
within the District of Columbia com es
within the limitations of the statute.
The act applies only to manufacturing
establishments The word establish
nent in this connection has 4 well de-
fined meaning. 1t is a place devoted.
as in the present case, to dressmaking
a place where the public is invited to
come and have its work done-as dis
tinguished from a mere itinerant dress
maker who maintains no fixed place in
which to conduct her business"
