NE VS. OF STEELTON
DIDN'T TRUST
YANKEE TRADERS
Band of 800 Armed Mexicans
Cover U. S. Troopers Dur
ing Deal

Not every National Guardsman
along the border has the opportunity
of seeing a band of 500 armed Mexican
soldiers. John Vernon. brother of
Thomas R. Vernon. Jr., proprietor of
the Steelton American, has been more
fortunate. He relates a very interest
ing story in recent letter to his
brother
He states that he has been on patrol
duty on the Mexican border. along the
Rio Grande, about so miles from any
railroad, town or post office for several
months. He is one of a party of ten
cavalrymen.
Recently when he and another
member of the party were patroling
the banks of the river they were hailed
by two MeXtcans on the other side.
The Mexicans asked the Yankees to
trade horses. The Americans consent
ed and the Mexicans proceeded to
ford the river.
When the Mexicans arrived on
American soil the cavalrymen sight
ed a band of at least 800 Mexicans
stationed on peak directly across the
water. with their guns leveled toward
the spot where they were standing.
The trade was made and the visitors
made their way TO their own country.
After the two Mexicans had disap-
peared the band of countrymen left
the cliff and disappeared.

PEACE TERMS
SHOW NO EFFECT
Steel Movements Remain Un-
changed on Germany's Pro-
posal to End War

The one day that has elapsed since
the surprising announcement of Ger
many's peace proposal has shown no
traceable effects in the stell market. If
actual negotiations for peace should
be undertaken In the near future 1t is
conceded that the developments in the
steel Industry would be highly impor-
tant; but at present the trade is domi-
mated by the belief that at this stage
no basis of agreement can be found
on which the war can soon be ended.
In summarizing the situation, the
Iron Age of to-day says:
"All calculations of domestic buyers
and sellers of steel have long been
but on the indefinite continuance of
the war and the present price struc-
ture has been built up by the war. The
effect on prices of actual negotiations
for peace, should they come, is not
overlooked in the current discussion.
For months contracts between
American steel manufacturers and the
allies have been drawn so as to guard
against an abrupt falling off in the
demand for war purposes. A stipula-
tion in some contracts is that If shell
steel is not specified the buyer shall
take soft steel in some form, as rails,
plates or shapes.
concerning the steer corporation S
increase of over 100000 tons in or
ders in November, it is stated on au-
thority that out of nearly 100000
tons booked in that month less than
10 per cent is to be classed as export
war business.

just as greater efforts were being put
forth on behalf of Great Britain and
France to get American steel. This

mur Steffansson,. the Canadian Arctic
explorer, who went into the polar
regions in the summer of 1913, prob
ably will not return to civilization

Further legal rumblings pointing
toward the filings of a flock of dam

ing negligence in failing to protect the
deserted roadway where their automo-
bile leaped into the Missouri river
the night of July 30, have been heard
in Douglas county courts, this time

pointment OF administrators of estates

asserts that the estate OF Grace
Snyder consists ofipersonal property
valued at 500 and the money ex-
pected to be recovered from the
county through the damage suit. The
estate OF Gertrude Letner consists of
personal property worth $500 and a
similar claim on damage suit money.
John Calvin of Council Bluffs has
been appointed administrator of the
estate OF May Swift, another of the
victims, while the case of John Harold
Larson, a minor, has been taken un-
der advisement by Judge Crawford.

Cooler Weather
Checks Wheat Rust;
Rain Helps Corn

Washington, Aug. l6.Z"Dsmage by
blight and rust continued on late
sown spring wheat in the northern
Part of the spring wheat area and
extended into northeastern Montana
although the extension of rust dam
age was checked somewhat by the
cooler weather that prevailed" the
weather bureau today announced in
reviewing crop conditions for the
week which ended yesterday, in the
national weather and crop bulletin.
Corn generally was benefited by the
weather, except in Kansas, Oklaho-
ma and north and west Texas, where
little or no rain fell y
I'm Kansas the prospect for corn
decreased steadily and in many places
in that state the crop promises to be
failure because of the lack of RAIN
fall" says the bulletin.
Corn was damaged almost beyond
recovery also in Oklahoma. In both
states cutting for fodder and ensilage
was begun. Corn deter;orated in
western and northern Texas also, but
elsewhere in that state the crop has
matured.
1T is feared that the rain came too
late for most of the corn in Missouri,
although the late planted will un-
doubtedly be greatly benefited. Early
corn was badly damaged in Iowa and
many stalks have failed to ear we'll,
but the rain will greatly benefit late
corn in that state. The rainfall was
very beneficial in Illinois, Indiana
and Ohio. The late corn crop I'M

Peabody Faction
Wins Point in Rock
Island Litigation

Chicago, Aug. l6.-Judge Ferdinand
A. Geiger of the United States dis
trict court yesterday entered a de-
cision which permits the Peabody
committee to file suit to foreclose
the mortgage oH-the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific railroad.
Seven men who control about 20
per cent of the Sill 100000 of underly-
ing bonds of the railroad comprise
the Peabody committee. The COM
mittee holds that under the receiver
ship, the security Of its bonds has
been injured.
Judge Geiger's decision is opposed
to the argument presented by the
stockholders, led ,by Nathan L. Arms
ter of Boston and the holders of most
Of the secondary securities, including
the debenture bonds. Neither David
R. Francis, ambassador to Russia, one
of the trustees for the underlying
bonds, nor the other trustee, the
Central Trust company of New York,
approved the action of the Peabody
committee.
