Hearings on Site For u. S.
Armor Plant Under WAY

Washington, Sept. 13. - Hearings
on the question of site for the pro-
posed government armor plate fac
tory were begun before Secretary
Daniels and other Navy Department
officials to-day. Representatives of
Chambers of Commerce and other or
ganizations urged the advantages of
their respective cities.
Briefs, plans, photographs and
other data were submitted for invest
igation to the Naval General Board
which must finally approve the site.
The proposed armor plant was pro-
vided for in the recent naval appro-
priation at a cost not to exceed SILL
100000.
Among those seeking the plant are
New Castle, Chestre, Pittsburgh, Phila-
delphia. Oil City, Slatington, Berwick

American Commissioners
Securing Military Advice
on Patrol For Border

New London, Conn, Sept. 13.-With
the arrival here to-day of Major Gen
eral Bliss, from Washington, American
members of the joint international
commission proposed to take up again
the question of devising an adequate
system OF policing for the Mexican
boundary. 1t was laid aside tempo
rarily by the commission in order that
the American members might secure
military advice on certain points.
The conferences have taken up,
while awaiting General Bliss, outlines
of economic and physical conditions in
Mexico. In presenting the latter re-
view yesterday Luis Cabrera, head of
the Mexican commission, drew atten-
ton to the progress that the Carranza
government had made. In January,
1915, he said, the Carranza forces con-
trolled only a fringe of states along
the gulf coast and few ports on the
west. The remainder of the country
was in the hands of Villa and Zapata
and their followers. Since General
CarranZa to-day faces only scattered
outlaw bands and there is nothing ap-
preaching organized military oppo-
sition to his rule throughout the coun-
try. his representatives apparently fee
justified in predicting that complete
order soon will be established.

How a Mechanical Error
Gave Credit to the A. P,

In the handling of a newspaper from
day to day there are many internal
troubles, especially in the editorial and
mechanical departments. In this life
we are all prone to err and in a news
paper plant the proneness is multiplied
by the multiplicy of opportunities. Only
a dav or two ago there was inadvert-
emily printed upon the first page of the
Telegraph under the credit line by the
Associated Press" a partisan political
story which did not come from the
great news association at all. 1t did
matter. from an entirely different
source. and in the making up of the
page the linotype credit lines by the
Associated Press" and Special to the
Telegraph" were mixed in the rush of
the mechanical department. Thus IL
was that a purely partisan story was
credited. through error, to the Asso-
ciated Press. which is absolutely nom
partisan, instead of special contribu-
tion to the news of the day. The story
had to do with the alleged controver-
sizes in the Democratic national com-
mittee,

Quebec Span Fall Due to

Neighbors Thought Swaying
Scarecrow Was Suicide

Fon du Lac. Wis, Sept. f3.-Neigh-
bors of Albert Engel commented on
the realistic scarecrow he had erected
in his cornfield. They wanted to find
out what he had used to rig up the
dummy and congratulate him on his
skill. But when they called at the
house Engel was not at home. His
family said he had not been there for
a couple of days.
The next morning Peter Raul. while
passing the Engel place, stopped to in
spect the supposed scarecrow and
found it was the body of the farmer
himself. He must have been hanging
in the tree at least a day and a night
and a score of neighbors on foot an6
automobile parties had passed without
realizing the ''scarecrow" had been q
human body.
Engel had hanged himself without
taking his hat off. and the wide brin
concealed his features.
