BAKER
TRIES TO EXPLAIN
That Statement about Plot to
OiSCredit Wilson'S Mexican
Policy but is Vague.
ar AsSee,ArIp ,sEss,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-War and
state department officials refused To-
day to disclose the source of specific
nature Of the information ON which
Secretary Baker last night issued a
statement that a bandit attack on
American troops in Mexico or on
American border, towns has been
planned to discredlt the governments
Mexican policy. They said the channel
OF information through which the re-
port came was so valuable that nothing
would be given out that might injure
its usefulness.
Both Secretary Baker and Secretary
Lansing today laid stress upon the
statement that no consideration OF do
nestle politics led TO the issue OF the
announcement that such a plot had
been discovered.
THE obviously appropriate comment
OF the secretary OF state" Secretary
Baker said. referring TO the explana-
ton by Secretary lansing last night
that no American was implicated: that
desire to prevent the carrying out
OF the plan had prompted Secretary
Bakers statement. 'Drecludes the pos
stbility that any such construction or
understanding could be put upon my
statement. The statement was without
political purpose and ought TO be with
out political effect It will have served
It's entire purpose II II serves notice
upon the lawless people in Mexico that
we have been warned and are pre-
pared"
Secretary Baker said II was sab-
surd" to suppose that his statement
had been intended to imply that any
political interest IN the United States
desired anything other than peace on
the border.
Such thing could not be-" he said.
And Just what interests he charged
were behind the movement. Secretary
Baker dictated this statement:
The Mexicans who oppose the de
facto government In Mexico would, Of
course, be glad to complicate rela-
tions between the United States and
Mexico and our information is that
they think this an appropriate time 10
do so. The statement made last night
by the department ought TO discourage
any adventure on their part In that
direction.
The only possible suggestion Of a
political purpose Cln the war depart
ments stntement) is to prevent people
in Mexico from creating disturbance

CELEBRATE THEIR
GOLDEN WEDDING
Constable and Mrs. Day Re-
ceive Congratulations From
Host of Friends


host of friends of Constable and
Mrs. Peter r. Day, 3S7 Myers street,
are showering the pair with congratu-
lations and fluctuations. 1t was just
fifty years ago, September 16, that
the couple were wed in Highspire. A
few days ago their two children and
four grandchildren with a few init
mate friends were guests at a dinner
in honor of the golden wedding an
niversary.
Constable Day is known to every
one in Steelton as the faithful guar
dian of the peace in the Fifth ward
for more than Is years. Although
his biliwick is cosmopolitan, Con-
stable Day has always succeeded in
preserving order at the expense of
less costly cases in court than per-
haps any other officer, his friends say.
In reminiscent mood yesterday
office of Squire J. L. Dickinson of the
early days in Steelton. When he mar
ried Constable Day was employed at
a large sawmill then standing in the
lower end of Harrisburg, near Pax
ton street-a place long since abarld-
oned. Later he accepted a position
with the Pennsylvania Steel Company
and for years trucked the Steel Com
pany Island in the Susquehanna. For
a short time he worked in the steel
plant and later became constable.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Day were mar
ried Steelton was farm land and many
time, declares the constable, he
hunted rabbits where the rail mill now
stands.

PREPARE TO COPE
WITH STRIKE MODS
Policemen Placed at Strategic
Points Along N. Y. Trolley
System

New York, Sept. %. Repeated
threats of a great general strike to
help the striking street car employees
caused all branches of the city govern-
ment charged with enforcing the laws
prepare to-day for outbreaks of
mob violence. Mayor Mitchers notice
that he stood ready to invoke all the
civil and military power at his COM
mand to suppress disorder was fol-
lowed by greater police activity and
a warning that persons convicted of
engaging in strike riots would re-
ceive heavy punishment.
The police department told the trac-
tion companies that they could re-
establish night service as soon as they
were ready under assurance of ade-.
Quate protection. Thus far $500 po-
licemen have been disposed at strategic
points. This police guard includes a
patrol of fifty automobiles and 100
motorcyclists along the most exposed
ear routes
Vote on General Strike
Trade union leaders representing
about 100000 workers will meet this
afternoon to decide whether to issue
call for a general strike. Some of
the labor leaders said such a strike, If
ordered. would begin Monday or Tues
day. The call, they said, would be
based on the ground that organized
wage -earners should not ride in cars
manned by strikebreakers. The early
morning bombardments of elevated
trains were resumed however, strike
sympathizers lurking on rooftops
throwing bricks and bottles which
shattered car windows. Several pas
sengers were injured in sixteen attacks
by the police.

DANCE NOTES

Bryce Howard was fined fifty cents for telling Leo Margules to "stay with it" while Leo was dancing with Mrs. Seiffert.
 Frank Youngs was fined for falling to keep a dance engagement with a lady. He was so popular that he had the same dance with two or three per sistent members of the fair sex. Mrs Ray took him to the dance, by the way.
 It was Mrs. Ellsworth who cook Martin Banbury to the dance, reports to the contrary notwithstanding.
 Leon Urbach was the fortunate guest of Miss Rich and he seems to appreciate it.
