AVOIDED QUARANTINE.
Two Young Men Boarders Skip From White Home to South Coventry Later EIude Quarantine There.

An interesting fact has come to light in regard to the placing of the quarantine on the White house, OF Prospect street, Wednesday morning. There were two young men boarding at the White house before the au- thorities were told of the case of paralysis there. The young men upon learning of the situation they would be in when the house was quaran- tined, evidently decided that the best thing that they could do would be to get out of town. which they did. When Health Officer Dr. Jenkins learned of the circumstances and found that they had gone 60 South Coventry, he no- titled Dr. w. I. Higgins, health officer Of that town. Dr. Higgins immediate ly located the men and placed them under quarantine there. Latter in the day the young men were reported as missing from Coventry. It was then decided by the officials of that place to notify the local police which they did. Thursday evening no tract of them had been found either in South Coventry or in this city. The young men are Peter Pedro and Joseph CuShnan

MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS IN
 MEXICO TO BE HELD SUNDAY
Marks the First Step in a Return to
 Civil Control

Juarez. Mexico, Aug. 31.-Through- out all Mexico, except in the capital where civil disturbances have caused short postponement, municipal elec- tions will be held on Sunday, Sep tember ga fact of more than ordin- ary importance for 1t marks the first step in a return to civil control and an advance toward democratic gov ernment in the country.
 Municipal elections, in the Mexican sense, are not city elections, as the ''municipio" is a district of a4 state an- alagous to the American county. The large cities are, however, separate municipios. But neither they nor the country districts have ever in MeXi- can history enjoyed home rule. Power for the various district to manage their local affairs was granted by the reform law of December, 1914. But First Chief Carranza has only now de- cided that the republic is sufficiently pacified to permit the experiment. The second step in restoring civil government follows at a date yet to be announced ,when governors and state legislators will be chosen. The final act will be balloting for presi- dent, judges of the supreme court, sen ators and members of the chamber of deputies.
 Although enemies of the Carranza administration, such as the adherents of the Diaz regime, have not had the
 te"i NaA-AOOu IO pul tlCfASCS III tie HelQ, the constitutionalist party has it's factions and it's conflicting ambitions.
 In Juarez, the factions are repre- scented in two clubs. One is named after the Indian patriot, Benito Juarez. The other, in reference to the Madero uprising, calls itself the Club Renaci- meniento 1910-the rebirth of 1910. They have agents at work and fre- quent meetings in the theatre, quite like party organizations in the United States.
 Educational reforms, covering not only free elementary instruction for all but establishing schools of indus tries and fine arts are given first choice in the Juarez club platform.
 A curious demand is for the restor- ation of the old free trade zone-a strip along the Mexican side of the border where all foreign products used to enter free. This was abolished over twenty years ago at the demand of the merchants of Iacatecas and other trade centers of those times. The program states that all the tariff ever did was to kill business in Juarez by driving it's merchants to E Paso.
 The national issues taken up in the later elections will include agrarian re- form, dealing with the distribution of land among the peons and the divi- sion of the old land grants. E:qualized taxes, public education, the one-term rule for all elective office holders and a genuine separation of executive and Judiciary, by which political pressure will be removed from the courts, have also been endorsed in one form or another by most of the political clubs in Mexico

Law Against Wire Swinging.

Since the American Thread company petitioned the board of aldermen for permission to extend high tension wires across Main street and Windham road the committee that has been in- vestigating the matter has discovered that there is state law that pro- hibits the stringing of such wires across a highway. It is not known what will be done about tho matter but it is thought that if the commit tee sees fit for such wires to be ex- tended it may become necessary to go to the legislature for a permit.

EXPECTS TO ORGANIZE
MOTHERS CLUB BRANCH

Notwithstanding slender attendance
at two meetings, Tuesday and yester-
day afternoons. held in the Ebbitt
House. Mrs. Emma Ferguson Ellis of
indianapolis feels encouraged in her
efforts to establish in Washington
branch of the Mothers Correspond
ence Club" which she founded in In
dianapolis and has already extended to
other communities Many women have
communicated with her. she said, init
mating their interest and desire to par
ticipate in the movement even though
they do not attend her lectures.
To an audience of eight women yes
terday afternoon Mrs. Ellis told of the
lonely life beset with temptations of
the enlisted man in army and navy.
Her plan she describes as a home mis-
sion; members of the club are supposed
to take under their care some one such
enlisted man, keep in correspondence
with him, encourage him in spiritual
matters and surround him with the
gentler influences of femininity, so
lacking in their environment.
Mrs Ellis, who has just founded
branch at Philadelphia, hopes to estab-
lish a strong chapter here, as Fort
Myer. the navy yard and the marine
barracks hold hundreds of young men.
many of them without mothers.
