Convict Labor on

Says Gov. Carlson

1.-THE convict labor on the roads in
Colorado IS a success from the stand
point OF the convict. and also from the
standpoint of the road building of the
state" said Governor George A. Carlson
OF Colorado in an address to the Com
mercial club at noon.
Governor Carlson touched only briefly
on the road situation, devoting a part of
his talk to the famous strike situation
that existed in Colorado some time ago,
and the Ludlow battle between militia
men and foreign miners.
''rhe truth about that Ludlow affair
has never been given wide publicity" he
said. THE reports that went out were
largely erroneous. 1t was not a matter

a matter OF the militia of the state de-
Tending itself against the attack of these

LOOKING FORWARD
Guy Liggett Makes a Few
Comments on the Devel-
opment of the Dry Clean
ing Business During His
Eighteen Years Connec-
ton With The Pantorium.

Eighteen years ago stoday~I came to
Omaha and began work at The Pam
: toriuni. which had been started the
proceeding August as pressing con-
Germ for the care OF mems clothes.
At that time the cleaning OF clothes
In gasoline was practically an un-
known business. Our first attempts
at Dry Cleaning consisted OF soaking
the garments in a tub OF gasoline
then brushing on table. after which
they were rlnsed in another tub and
hung in the air 70 dry. A very waste
full. dangerous and often unsatisfac-
tory method, but the best and only
one we knew OF at the time. t
We didn't even have soap that was
soluble in gasoline; and such things
as Washers. Extractors. Stills. claTi-
fiers. Glove Machines and Under
ground Storage had never : been
thought Of.
As tie Cleaning and DyeinE business
developed The Pantorlum was always
first to discard the Old and adopt
the New. We've always set the Pace
as well as the Price for Quality Clean
ing in Omaha, and feel we have a
good right to cali ourselves the
Daddy" of Dry Cleaning In this part
Of tho country. tt.
There are hundreds OF leading citi-
zens In Omaha and vicinity who have
been our customers from the Very
start, which speaks well for the quail
ity OF our work, as well as for our
method of doing business. III
Today we have one OF the largest
and best equipped plants in the United
States, and in addition to cleaning
and Dyeing both Mems and womeh's
garments we do Carpets. Rugs. Drap-
cries. Curtains, Comforts. Pillows,
Furs. Feathers, etc. in fact. anything
that requires Care and skin in. hans
ling.
We have a large patronage from
out OF town customers, and since the
Postal Authorities increased tho
weight limit we have paid carrying
charges one way. on all>eut OF town
orders.
In looking back over my past Eigh-
teen years experience realize We
have made great advancement in the
business, but confidently Relieve the

great an advance. and. as In the past,

 MT. Arredondo left the impression that his chief did not expect the defiant words of the note to be taken at its face value when on handing the communication to Acting Secretary Polk he gave notice that it was not intended as an ultimatum, but as continuation of the negotiations which have been impending between two governments.
 The new note written before the with drawal of the Langhorne- -Sibley expedi- tion which entered Mexico after the Boquillas raid, was brought to Washing ton Monday by Manuel Mendez, an at tache of the Mexican foreign office. Word of its coming had been received last week, but on Mendez's arrival he insisted that he knew nothing of a note and merely was in the United States on vacation
 Arredondo said late last night that he heard nothing of note.
 Today it was explained that Mendez left Mexico City with strict instructions to keep the purpose of his visit secret even from the embassy here until he had communicated with the foreign office on reaching Washington. His orders to give
