since which time six poles have been
row. Each pole is made up of short
sections of heavy piping strongly guy
ed and set on an asphalt base we'll i'm
bedded in the sand. They are expected
to withstand any gale up to 100 miles
an hour. Two brick buildings for the
instruments and a number of house;
for employees have been erected and
1t is understood that the stations on
the American side represent an outlay
of s1,500000.
When the work was commenced here
II was supposed that the new stations
were to replace the plant at Wellfleet
which had suffered considerable dam
age from storms and high tides. II
was stated, however. that WelIhee1
would not be abandoned though NOT
practical for transatlantic work. That
station. which is used chiefly for send
ing, was built in 1900, but the FIRST
storm thereafter blew down the ring of
tail poles. Two years later four towers
OF barced Joist were built on the bluff
and strongly guyed. Since then the
sea has made such inroads into tho
sandy cliff Of the cape. that several of
the guys are now anchored on tho
peach and IT has been thought nrob.
aoie tnat sooner or later the company
would remove their plant to a more
projected site. Chatham is on the
ocean side OF the cape and so exposed
70 the elements that structures of
great strength were necessary.

The newly elected members OF the
city government met Monday at 10
O'Clock in the city building for organ
ization. City Clerk Perkins called the
meeting to order. Alderman Pettingil
was chosen temporary chairman. He
appointed Aldermen Canton and Turner
as a committee to examine the creden-
tials of the aldermen-elect. When these
were pronounced satisfactory Judge Fred
Emery Beane administered the oath Of
office to the members OF the board o.
aldermen. John A Quinn was then
elected city clerk to serve for the ensu-
ing year. Aldermen Trask and Turner
were appointed as committee to wait
upon Mayor-elect Otis and escort him
to the mayors chair. After taking the
oath of Office the Mayor read the follow
ing inaugural address, which was very
brief owing TO the fact that he had
been suffering with severe cold for
several days and was still very hoarse.
His address was as follows:
1--WE have been called by our citizens
TO assume the government Of our city
for the ensuing year. The past year
has seen a new industry established in

benefit to the city. 1t although brings in

condition of our schools is a matter that
will require your immediate attention.
Several OF the school buildings have been
condemned by the board OF health.
Some of these will probably be discon-
tinued in the event OF our building a
new school building TO accommodate
seevral schools; but there are one or two
that will be continued and 1 think these
should be changed at once.
Il think our highways have been as
well cared for as was possible with the

CARRANZA WARNED
BY UNITED STATES
Emphatic Note Demand Improvement in Con-
ditions Concerning Foreigners

Of foreigners and that point had been
reached when it was necessary for the
first chief to take into consideration the
serious steps which the United States
might feel compelled to take in order to
obtain an improvement of affairs.
Carranza's DEGREES and those of his su-
coordinate generals have been a constant
cause of embarrassment to foreign gov
ernments ever since he broke with Gen.
Villa. The imprisonment of scores OF
priests and the confiscation of property.
the expulsion OF the Belgian and Spanish
ministers and the treatment of foreign
consuls generally have been charged in
official reports. The visit in this connec-
ton of Cardinal Gibbons to New Orleans
to talk with Archbishop Merret, who has
just been expelled py Carranza from Mex
leo together with otner priests. was re-
garded by diplomatic officials here as OF
the utmost significance. In the diplomat
ic corps tonight there was unusual &C
tivity owing to the Mexican situation.
