COMPLAINTS OF VANDALISM.
Maj. Pullman Urged to Accomplish
Arrest of LaWhreakers,

Maj. Pullman has received a COM
plant about the work of vandals in a
number of business places in the down
town section during the past several
weeks. Parts of new plumbing fixtures
were broken by the vandals and in
several instances. the police chief was
told, small parts of fixtures were taken
away.
1t is said that the vandals operated
in nearly dozen places. all saloons,
with one exception, and that was in a
Chinese restaurant on 9Th street In
every instance the fixtures that were
broken had been installed only short
time.
The fact that practically nothing was
taken, he thought suggested that the
work was done by some person other
than one actuated by dishonest mo-
tives.
At several places the vandals broke
or twisted steel bars or pipes and
did considerable damage. and, it is
stated, second visit was paid some
places. Victims of the vandals are ex-
tremely anxious that the lawbreakers
should be arrested.

Down Prices to Producers.

Special agents of the federal trade
commission have begun an investiga-
ton of charges that cotton buyers in
North and South Carolina and Georgia
have combined to keep down prices to
producers Tie complaints alleged that
large purchasers OF cotton in the states
named have combined to divide terri
tory in such way as to allow them
practically to fix the price to the
grower. Commissioner W. ]. Harris,
who received the complaints, recon-
mended thorough investigation, VIII CHI
was ordered by the commission.
Members of the commission said that
if the allegations of the compliments
were substantiated the combination
would constitute restraint of trade
and the commission would be author
lied to proceed under the antitrust
laws. That would mean the institution
of the first suit of the kind brought
through the commission since it's crea-
ton.
Agents of both the economic AMI
legal divisions of the commission will
conduct the investigation.

the court to set the cases for imme-
date trial as soon as indictments are
reported. Agents of the Department
of Justice and members Of the police
force are the chief witnesses in most
cases. A few witnesses are persons
who are alleged to have placed bets
with some of the defendants.
In several instances there are two
charges against individuals. In such
cases effort may be made to CONSOLE
date the indictments. should the grand
jury return true bills.
United States Attorney Laskey may
appear in court in the prosecution of
the cases with Harvey Given, desig-
mated by the Department of Justice
to look after such prosecutions. Some
of the cases will be holly contested.
Should convictions result. the court
will be asked to impose severe jail
sentences.
Most of the arrests in cases under
investigation were made many weeks
ago. Several arrests were made in
two raids conducted by agents of the
Department of Justice and the police.

lice. took active participation in one

ARTILLERY DUEL
 AT MEXICO CITY
cARRANZA OFFICIALS cHAGRiN. ED AT FAILURE OF CEN. CON
 ZALEZ TO ENTER CAPITAL.

Washington Anxiety increased in official quarters over the situation in Mexico City. as the State Depart ment has been unable to communicate by telegraph for several days with that city
 Brief dispatches from Vera Cruz said Carranza officials were much cha grined at the apparent failure of Gen Pablo Gonzalez to enter the capital Reports that Gonzalez was engaged in an artillery duel with the Zapatistas gave the first intimation that the Vil- la-Zapata forces in Mexico City had determined to offer resistance to the invading Carranza army instead of eyacuating.
 This prevents the State Department from communicating with the Bra. zilian minister. and deprives all other foreign governments of information concerning their diplomatic missions and subjects.
 Famine conditions in Mexico City have been growing worse daily and investment by a new army, it is fear ed, will cause much suffering to for eigners
 While generally understood that there will be no further development in the general Mexican situation 50 far as the United States is concerned until the return of President Wilson from Cornish. it is thought in official quarters that the situation in the southern capital may force a new crisis.
 Carranza has given this government assurance that every effort will be made by Gen. Gonzalez to guard the lives and property of foreigners if his troops enter the city It is feared, however, that fighting may be carried into the old capital by the contending forces, although the diplomatic corps hitherto has been successful in per suading the garrison to evacuate rather than give battle in the streets.

HINTS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
Compiled by a Substitute While the Regular Man Was Away From
 His Desk.

A good way to save money on your gas and electric light bills is to spend your evenings at theaters and restaur- ants where the management pays for the lights.
 If your husbands hair shows signs of falling out, try pulling his ears in stead. They very seldom come loose.
 Installment collectors and other un. desirable callers can be made to keep their distance by means of ripe toma. toes served at long range.
 A society matron whose position de mands that she entertain a great deal more than she can really afford has discovered that by serving few bird shot with each portion of guinea hen the guests can be made to think they are eating game.
 A young wife of our acquaintance tried for years to break her husband of the habit of bringing home unex- pected guests to dinner. At last she took the advice of a friend and f1irted desperately with the very next man her husband invited to the house. After that there was no more trouble.-New York World.

 Few appointments in recent years have given such widespread satisfac- tion in the national capital MT. Lan- sing is lifelong Democrat but he has devoted his time to international law and diplomacy and is as popular with former Republican officials as with his colleagues. Members of the cabinet and close personal friends of the president advised the selection. and MT. Bryan himself, although not consulted, is understood to have hoped for the promotion of MT Lansing
 Official announcement ct the selec- tion of MT. Lansing, who has bean serving as secretary ad interim since the resignation of MT Bryan on June $, was made in the following state ment:
 Before leaving for brief rest in New Hampshire the president an nounced that he had offered the post of secretary of state to MT Robert Lansing, the present counsellor of the Department of State, and that MT. Lansing had accepted the appoint. ment"
 A commission was prepared which President Wilson signed. giving Mir. Lansing a recess appoistment When Congress reconvenes tho nomination will go to the Senate. No opposition is anticipated.
 One of the peculiar circumstances in connection with MT Lansings ap- pointment is the fact that he person. ally has no political backing or in fiuence. Succeeding William Jennings Bryan. foremost among leaders of the Democratic party, a comparatively un- known quantity in the political world has been ushered into the premiership of the cabinet.
 MT. Lansing is 51 years old, a native of Watertown, N. Y, and a descendant of the family of John Lansing, who represented New York in the Consti- tutional Convention of 17S7 at Phila. delphia, and later was chancellor of the State of New York After gradlla. tion from Amherst College in 1886. MT. Lansing chose the profession of his father and aneestors-the law - and continued in private practice except when retained by the American gov ernment or foreign nations in import ant cases. He has represented tho United States in more international arbitrations than any living American. and French authority recently wrote that MT. Lansing probably had had a longer and broader experience in in- ternational arbitration and had ap- peared more frequently before inter- national tribunals than any living law yer,

However, the stub- born resistance of this flank of the forces of Grand Duke Nicholas m. doubtedly has enabled him to reform his lines along the rivers Bug and Stry without interferences.
 The River San now takes the place of the Dniester as the scene of a san guinary battle in the Russian effort to prevent the investment of Warsaw.
 Petrograd admits the retirement of the Russians to the River Gnila Lipa, which is 80 miles from the frontier and falls into the Dniester at Halicz. but military experts do not expect heavy fighting along that river They express the opinion that the next se- rious battle probably will occur along the Zlota Lipa River which runs par allel to the Gnila Lipa further east ward, where the Russians would ben eft by the railroad with which the Tarnop line connects.
