C0NFEREES MAY
YET GET TOGETHER
American-MeXican Commission
Still Hopeful of Amicable
Agreement.

Atlantic city, y. j.. Nov. 2o.-With
the announcement Tonight that the
Mexican-American joint commission
would meet AGAIN tomorrow "as
usual" the prospect was believed to
be fairly bright for an amicable agree
ment being reached for border control
and protection Of American lives and
property in the neighboring republic.
II was learned Tonight. however,
that the Mexican representatives had
not yet sent to their government n re
port of the presentation of the Amer
lean proposals, which were described
rs representing the final attitude of
the United states.
II became known tonight that the
commissioners have considered a slight
alteration of the American proposal
which. If agreed To, would make prob
able an agreement. TIL" real stumbling
block, IT was explained is the detcrmina-
ton Of the Americans not to have any
restrictions placed on tho American gov
erumcut should the occasion again arise
for sending troops across the border into
that the suggested alteration would not
materially change the program while lit
tie would be added 10 the strength of
the agreement by forcing the Mcxicans
to sign a document IN which there was
actually conceded the right of the Amcri-
can government to unlimited and unre-
strictcd pursuit of bandits in Mexico.
The same object. it was suggested. could
be accomplished if that point were not
mentioned in the formal agreement.

New York. Nov 2.-That the endemic
Of infantilc paralysis in this city the past
summer originated in Norway in l91r
and may rcnrrcar here was the assertion
tonight uf Dr. Simon FlcXuer, director
of research in the Rocket, Her Institute.
In an address to the Brooklyn Institute
Of Arts and Sciences, he said that as
to the future Of the disease IN this roun-
Try he feared 1t mad 'sprrad too far

20 be eradica,cd I;e added, however, he
was confidc"i IT'S temperance would be
sporadic.
THE outbrcss of last summer was in
the nature Of a phenomenon" said Dr..
Flexner, "for never in the history of the
world has so I:.2uv cases of the disease
been confined to one locality. The last
previous appearance of infantile paraly
sis in large numbers was in Norway r
1905 and near Rutland, Vt, when, in 1896.
about 20J cases were reported. New

BLAME FOR NEW YORK CENTRAL
ACCIDENT IN OHIO YESTERDAY
TRACED TO BAGY'S TINY CRIB.
BL AME TOWE RMA An
Towerman Ernest Said to Have Lost
Sleep over Birth of Baby Sunday
Night and Received Little Sleep,
Causing Him to Give Wrong Signal.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 3O.-Twen-
ty-seven bodies have been recovered
from yesterdays New York Central
wreck thus far.
The attention today focused on the
federal, state and railroad investiga-
tions to determine the responsibility.
So far as the railroad is concerned,
the responsibility is either upon the
towerman who is alleged to have been
asleep, or upon the engineer, who,
some say, either failed to see the sig.
nal or exceeded orders.
The blame for the wreck may be
traced to a baby's tiny crib, if the in
vestigation under way shows that
Towerman A. b. Ernest gave the
wrong signal. Mrs. Ernest gave birth
to baby Sunday night, and it is said
that Ernest had had but little sleep
since. On the other hand, Ernest
says he was not asleep and that he
knew something was wrong and gave
the right signal.
