increase In the infantile paralysis epdem
ic was reported today. the number Of new
cases discovered jumping from 36 to A,

health will be in every one of the public
schools and in each parochial institution

the child has returned to New York dur
ing the previous two weeks. the pupil will
be required to furnish health certificate

STOLEN AUT0|S
FOUND IN WOODS
AT B0WDO|NHAM

Bowdoinham, Me-. Sept. 15-Bowdoin-
ham officials are tracking down a mys-
terry.
The unraveling Of the same began when
Deputy Sheriff Samuel Nelson lent his
assistance to one of his townsmen who
had lost COW. The stray animal was
hunted far and wide and during this ex-
cursion conducted Thursday afternoon
the searching party came across the mys-
terry.
This was a seven-passenger automobile
in the heart Of a patch of Bowdoinham
evidences Of hard usage and weather. It
was plain that it must have been hidden
in this remote place for some weeks.
Deputy Sheriff Nelson at once began a
still hunt on this strange trail and first
wrote to the officials at Augusta for some
information regarding the car. which bore
a dealers license, No. 122-C. There 1t was
learned that the car was Chandler own
ed by the A e. Darling Motor Car Co.,
at 632 Congress street. Portland.
Information obtained from Portland re-
vealed the fact that Mr.. Darling had lost
such car about a month ago when 1t
was stolen from him. and that he had no
idea who took 1t or where it was located.
Thus was the mystery partially solved.
1t now is matter Of much conjecture in
town as to who the criminals were, how
they happened to leave the car in this
piece Of woods and what became Of them
afterward.

Mexico City, Sept. 15-General Car
ranza's purpose in issuing last night a
call for election Of delegates to an as
sembly to consider changes in the con-
stitution are set forth in the preamble
Of the decree, now made public here.
The preamble refers to the platform
of the Constitutionalists, as set forth
in the Plan of Guadeloupe, adopted in
1913 before the downfall Of General
Huerta and elaborated at Vera Cruz
in 1914 and says it shows clearly that
the program of the Constitutionalists
provided that when their cause was
triumphant and municipal elections
had taken place the first chief should
call for the election Of Congress, give
an account of the administration and
have his actions ratified or modified by
the Congress. He was then to call d
Presidential election and turn over the
executive power to the legalls elected
president.
Sought to Apply Program
The first chief always intended to
carry out this program and to that end
adopted various measures to provide
government Of and for the people, to
improve the economic situation Of the
working classes and to insure a cor
rect application Of Republican princi-
pies as embodied in the constitution.
1t had been found. however, that some
of these reforms affected the functions
of the government as limited by the
constitution.
Work Of Enemies
The enemies Of the Constitutional
lists. General Carranza says, have
omitted nothing to prevent completion
of the program, even going so far as to
imperil the dignity of the republic and
endanger its sovereignty by provoking

CHICAGO 3, SENATORS 2

Chicago, Sept. 15.-A wild pitch by
Thomas gave Chicago the final game Of
the year with Washington, 3 to 2.
Thomas replaced Shaw in the ninth
inning after Terry had doubled down
the third base line. Lapp sent Terry to
third on a sacrifice. Thomas cut loose
with wild pitch and Terry romped
home with the winning run. Cicotte
was in fine form and allowed Wash
ington but three scattered hits. The
locals punched hits off Shaw in the
second and third innings for the first
two runs. Cicotte's error paved the
way for Washington's first run while
Morgan's triple and Henrys sacrifice
gave them the other. The fielding OF
Milan and Weaver were features. The

Therefore, the preamble says. the only
way in which to attain the desired
ends is to provide for a constitution

country will be able to express clear
ly its sovereign will, putting the gov
ernment on a firm basis. beyond all
question of legality.
Was Falsely Imputed
The enemies Of the Constitutional
lists, General Carranza says, further,
have falsely imputed to him the pur-
pose to establish a dictatorship. On
the contrary. he says, the government
to be established will be of such form
as to demonstrate that sovereignty re-
sides within the people, by whom II
should be exercised for the public ben
eft. Both Federal and state rights will
be respected and the spirit of the
constitution will be carried out. The
only purpose is to purge the consti-
tuition Of defects in the way of obscur-
ity and contradiction. or of clauses
inserted for the purpose of multiplying
democratic rights.
Then follow the provisions deter.

New York, Sept. 15.-Dun's Review
tomorrow will say:
In nearly all important industrial
and mercantile lines the trend Is to-
ward further increase in activity.
and is exceptionally marked in some
directions. Manufacturing plants are
being operated to their capacity. the
shortage in the supply Of labor being
practically only deterrent to addition
al expansion. The demand for fall m4r-
chandise is encouraging by the brisk
trade and the general business senti-
ment is optimistic. In the Central
states the movement commodities con-
tinue well sustained and reflects pros
porous conditions. In the South the in
quiry for staple goods is increasingly
active. On the Pacific coast the crop
prospects in that region together with
the general high prices for agricultur-
al products are indicative Of still fur
ther progress. Detail trade drags at
some point, but this condition is re-
garded as temporary and demands for
fall merchandise as a whole is main
tanned in volume that reflects an ex-
panding purchasing power on the part
Of the people generally
