Jack London, Sailor, Miner
and Author, Crosses Divide

Santa Rosa, Cal, Nov. 23.-Without
ceremony of any kind the body of Jack
London, novelist and adventurer, will
be cremated Mt noon tomorrow at the
Oakland crematory.
No ministerd or priest will pronounce
benedction, no prayer will be said,
no choir will sing requiem.
Believing that death ends all and that
there is no hereafter, London often said
that when he died he wished to be ere.
mated and buried without ostentation.
His wishes will be carried out. Only
his wife, daughters and sisters will ac.
company the body to the crematory. His
mother, Mrs. Flora London, is serious
" ill in her Oakland home and has not
yet been informed of her son 5 death.
London's secretary today estimated
that the novelist Is income from his
writings ut the time of his death aver
aged about 90 cents a word. He habit
ually wrote 1000 words a day and this
would make his annual income about
$53, 900 year from new literary work
alone.
So far as the secretary knows, the
only finished work by London which
has not been published are two full
novels, two short dog stories and sew
eral Hawaiian stories. Arrangements
for publication Of these have been con
cluded. At the time of his death Lon.
don was working on novel of Hawa'
iian life called "Cherry," which was
well advanced. 1t is understood thai
Mrs. London either will complete the
novel herself or will engage some other
writer to complete it. How much other
unfinished work London had started i:
not known.
The novelist IS five year contract with
eastern publishers would have expired
next year Recently representative
of an eastern company was at Glen FL
len to induce London to renew his con
tract and London had purchased rail
road tickets and arranged to leave SaI
Francisco next Wednesday for New
York to discuss the matter of con
tract. He expected to return to Glen Fl
len in February when he hoped to b,
able to visit either Japan or Norway

BORDER PATROL IS
/ STUMBLING BLOCK
FOR COMMISSION
Americans Want Both Patrol
Armies Commanded by
Americans
MEXICANS OBJECT AS
IT HURTS THEIR PRIDE
Mexican Commissioners Re-
fuse to Discuss Internal
Affairs

Atlantic City, N. j., Nov. 23.--The
Mexican American border question be-
ing worked ont by the joint commits
sion of the two countries here today re-
solved itself into question of reason
and pride-American reason and Mexi-
can pride. Each side is adhering stub
bornly to its guns, but neither feels tho
situation is hopeless.
Willingness of the United States TO
withdraw its troops as soon as proper
safeguards for the future safety of tho
border have been made, has resulted in
centering all discussion for the present
on the form of border patrol shall take.
An agreement has been reached up TO n
certain point. Mexican members of the
commission want mutual agreement
whereby troops of the Mexican govern
ment may pursue bandits back into tho
United States if any cross into Mexico
from this side, just as they win agree
to allow the pursuit of Mexican ma
rauders across the line and into Mex
leo by United States troops.
This plan, il was learned only TO-
day, has been agreed to by the Amer
lean commissioners providing the patrol
on both sides of the border is under
control of an American general.
This is where Mexican pride has en-
tered into the controversy Mexican
troops, the Carranza representa- tives
say, may be commanded only by Mex
lean generals. ssf
Me,icans Must Yield. ..
American members OF the commission
have argued that manifestly--the only
sort of border patrol that win worh-
and the only sort that will justify the
United States in withdrawing its troops
lis one under a single directing head.
Because of disorganized conditions in
Mexico, they say, obviously this header
must be an American.
The Mexican commissioners insist
that separate organizations under sep
arate heads can handle the situation,
but that in. any event, Mexican sover-
eighty, involved in the complete CEN
troll of the country's troops, cannot be
sacrificed to present expediency.
There is no present disposition on tho
part of the Mexicans to yield the point
and certainly there is none by the AM
ericans TO accept an arrangement which
they consider less than practical. As for
the other issues, involving Mexican in
ternal policies, mining taxes and the
like, Mexican commissioners are not dis
cussing these with the American com
missioners. The latter have brought up
the subject at times, but the Mexieans
have only listened. On the other hand,
Mexicans have felt free to discuss the
subjects with American mining interests
and others involved indirectly and have
communicated back and forth with Gen
eral Carranza on various questions
raised between themselves and Amsyi-
can private interests. They hold them
selves competent to determine such
rights thmselves and insist on the right
to do so.

Railroad Facilities Must
Grow If Commerce Of
Country Is To Grow"
ROADS MUST REACH INTO
new PRODUCTIVE AREAS
Attorneys Trying to Agree
On Case In Which To Test
Adalnsoh Law"

Washington, Nov. 23.-An increase of
the nation S transportation facilities
would help shatter the high cost of liv-
ing, A. p Thorn, counsel for the rail.
roads, told the Newlands congressional
railroad investigating committee today,
Appearing as first witness before the
body which plans an extensive INJURY
into the relations between the railroads
and the public, Thorn argued that the
railroads now are under burden which
prevents successful marketing of their
securities and a consequent lack Of de-
velopment.
AS FOR the high cost of living, he de
clared:
"There has been less than 1000 miles
of new railroad constructed in the Uni.
ted States during the past year. This
is less than any year since 1S4S except
the period of the Civil war and yet the
cost of living is greatly advancing
owing to a shortage of supplies. This
might be remedied by securing access to
new areas of production. Railroad fa-
cilities must grow if the commerce of
the country is to grow and all men of
affairs recognize that this requires con
stant influx of new money.
= Railroad regulations, he continued, il
the result of spirit of anger that grew
out of real or fancied abuses in the past.
Thorn contended that the time has come
for the proper element Of helyfulness
to be introduced into the system"
Railroad regulation is permanent
part of the government he said, and the
railroads realize that their first duty is
to the public. .
Adequacy of railroad facilities is q
primary public consideration, he de-
clared, pointing to the readiness Of ship
pers last summer to pay 'ralmost any
thing TO market their goods when q
railroad strike threatened.

Case Is Not Typical.

Washington, Nov. 23.-Pleas for more
adequate railroad facilities, less sus
picion of railroad management and bet
ter credit conditions were made by the
railroads today to the Newlands rail
roads investigating committee.
A. p. Thorn, counsel for the railroads
was stated to bespeak broader and
more helpful attitude to the rail lines
so they may spread out, INCREASE Amer
lea s. business and better serve the pub
lie. While the inquiry into the rela
tions between transportation and the
public proceeded, the justice depart
ment and railroad attorneys tried to
reach an agreement on what case to
take as test of the constitutionality OF
the Adamson eight hour law.
The NJ. o. and G. case yesterday
calling the law unconstitutional was
held not to be sufficiently typical
hence the Union Pacific and Santa Fe
slated for hearing at Kansas City today
may be used.
