PLAN OF BORDER CONTROL
STILL UNDER ADJUSTMENT
Medcan-American Joint Commission
Discusses the Withdrawal Of
Gen. Pershing's Force.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. October A.
Further consideration by tho Mexican
American joint commission was given to-
day to the plan of border control pro-
posed by the Mexican members. It was
regarded as probable that Gen. Tasker II.
Bliss. assistant chief Of star Of the
United States Army. would appear before
the American commission in an advisory
capacity.
That the plan which involves the with
drawaI of Gen. Pershing's forces would
be adopted prior to definite under
standing regarding Gen. Carranza's atti-
tude respecting the reopening Of mines
and other industries was regarded as
improbable
What they regard as an equitable sched
ule of taxes was submitted to the Mext-
can members of the commission yesterday
mining interests in the southern republic.
For two hours they were in conference
with Luis Cabrera, head Of the Mexican
commission and minister Of finance OF
his country. and Alberto PAM. another
member. who is director general Of the
national railways. No assurances were
given the mining men that their schedule
would be adopted, but 1t was understood
that it would be submitted to the Car
rama government. The question of trans
portation was discussed and the protest
was reiterated against what the mining
men consider confiscatory tax decree.
"Confiscatory DEGREES" Protested.

'BOSS' PENROSE TO
 BE REAL NICE BOY
q Fought You Once, 1 Love You NoW," His Song

New York, July 13.-Senator Boies Penrose, republican leader in Pennsyl- vanih and one of the "Old Guard" ," who fought to the last to prevent the nomination of Charles E. Hughes at Chicago, pledged to the republican presidential nominee his hearty sup port yesterday at the Astor hotel. In announcing the interview which the Pennsylvania leader had with MT. Hughes the national chairman, Will liam G. Wilcox, chara cterized it as most satisfactory"
 According to the chairman Senator Penrose, who is not given to many oratorical displays, assured him that he would take off his coat and work day and night for the success Of the republican party" While that grati- lying evidence that the republican party is at peace in Pennsylvania was being made public MT. Hughes was COnferring with Mayor William Hale Thompson, of Chicago, who arrived in New York with Eugene R. Pike, city controller of Chicago, and Harry Ward, of Du Quoin, III.
 On emerging from the conference Mayor Thompson said he had come to discuss campaign matters with Mr. Hughes and to assure him that he and all other republicans in Illinois were ready to do their utmost to elect him. The report that Chica ago S mayor had come to protest against the naming of Harold l.. Ickes, a progress sive, to the campaign committee was denied, although Mr. Thompson could not be persuaded to say he favored MT. Ickes for the place. Report has it that the mayor believed he might find place on the organization which is to direct the fortunes of MT. Hughes campaign. He did not dis cUss this report, but said he was ready to work with any man who would help MT. Hughes, no matter what his pre- ylous political belief might be.

INSULT ID IRISH,
 IS REDMOND'S CRY
Calls Lord LansdOWne's Speech
 Declaration Of War on Erin

London July 13.-John Redmond, leader of the Irish NatiOnalists, yes terday issued a statement character izing the speech of the Marquis of Lansdowne in the House of Lords on Tuesday as a declaration of war on the Irish people. He says also that the speech was a breach of faith ap- parently made with the intention of wrecking the negotiations for a com promise.
 T regard Lord LansdOWne's speech as a gross insult to Ireland," says Mr. Redmond in his statement. Tt amounts to a declaration of war on the Irish people, and is an announce ment of a policy of coercion. If this speech be taken as representing the attitude and spirit of the government toward Ireland, there is an end to all hopes of a settlement. The speech seems to me to have been made with the deliberate object of wrecking the negotiations for a settlement"
 As deserving special notice, MT Redmond cites the following passage from Lord Lansdowne's speech:
 Tt is a bill which will make struc- tural alterations in the acb of 1914, already on the statute book. There fore 1t will be permanent and endur- ing in character. But 1t is an act which will contain at other points temporary provisions. such as, for example, those dealing with the House

CARRANZA PLANS
 TO DUST TREv|No
General May Join Villa or Start
 Independent InSurreCtion

El Paso, Texas, July 13.-Mexican international affairs are again in a ferment due primarily to the resump- tion of activities in the field by Villa and the strong sympathy shown for his cause by many influential officers and men of the Carranza army now in the State Of Chihuahua If reports received here by Brig Gen. George Bell, Jr., and promptly forwarded by hlm to General Funston at San An nono, are true, General Jacinto Ire vino, commander in chief of the northern army, is about to be deposed and tie officers of his staff scattered throughout Southern and Central Mexico.
 General Trevino, as indicated in these despatches, has been under suspicion of disloyalty to the Carranza government for some time. The final act which is said to have led to the decision of Carranza and his war minister, General A1varo Obregon. to humlllate him, was the sending of 8 lraln carrying a half million rounds of government ammunition from Tor reon to Jiminez without single soldier to guard it,
 The ammunition was captured bv Nllllstas ten miles south of Jiminez and the charge has been openly made that 1t Is precisely where Trevino had arranged for it to go. There is every indication that a crisis is impending and that in a few days there will be two Mexican armies in the field in Chihuahua, so busy fighting each other that they will have little time to think of the despised "gringoes."
 The state department was warned Of the situation by it's agents here last night and the war depa rtment has Teen apprised of it by General Bell, No one familiar with the develop ments of the last two weeks in Northern Mexico believes for m oment that General Trevino will submit to the humiliation which the Carranza government intends to i'm pose upon him. A declaration of in depend dence from Carranza, Obregon and the rest of the de facto govern ment may be expected from him at any moment, according to his friends here. Whether he will openly join the Villa movement Is som ething even his friends will not assert, but that Is the coalition that the government suspects him of having in mind.

 MT. Redmond proceeds: "T would be 8 gross breach of faith, d I desire to state that I adhere strid to the terms which were submitted us by MT.

The road is being repaired and the crushed stone is obtained from the quarry. MT. Barnes was driving his machine in the trolley tracks and watching at the same time. A thick undergrowth of grass and shrubs deceived him into thinking that the ground was solid. He turned a little too much to the right and his machine was ditched A chain was fastened to the automo bile and to the steam roller (not the one in vogue at the Republican conven- tionS), and the Packard was soon on terra firma.

kENSINGTON AFTER
 AQUA PURA STILL
Borough Committee Plans to Meet Soon to Discuss Question
TO COOPERATE WITH BERLIN
Heat Question Makes Converts For Baron Munchausen and Ananias- Smoky John'' Runs Afoul of the Law~AutOmobiIe Is Ditched,

Spurred by the action at the an- nual meeting of the Berlin Improve ment society, when a committee was appointed to look into the feasibility of having this district created into a. borough, residents of Kensington are considering the same question: The committee, which has chosen at a meeting during the winter, is plan ming to meet soon and discuss ways and means for bringing about the de- sired improvements. The personnel of the committee is: First Selectrnan William H. Gibney, Dr. R. M. Grs- wold, c. H. Baldwin, F. P. Day, and George Sullivan. The matter of wa ter has agitated the residents of the district for the past few years and never more than within the past few months: Water water" is the cry, and the committee is going to look at the question in that light Several small fires have occurred within the past few months, and it is considered miraculous that they were not more damaging when the weakness of fight ing the flames is thought of.
 From a Kensington standpoint, borough is a very desirable thing, for then the water question would soon be S0IIlGQ- pie there to get the aqua pura, for borough is considered in the light of a corporation and can obtain things quicker than a body of individuals. At present the Berlin Water company fin which many officials of the Amer ican Paper Goods company are in- terestcd, has charter to furnish wa ter for the town, but the company has taken no steps to supply the in- habitants. It is felt there will be no opposition from this company, if the district Is changed to borough and lays plans to obtain the water. It is probable the committee will meet within the next two weeks to per feet plans. Later a conference will be held with the committee recently appointed by the Improvement society and a concerted effort by both dis trfcts will be made to secure the de- sired results.

Where Are the ConstabIes?

Where Are the COnStab1eS?
 The failure of the constables to make any pretense of keeping tabs on autOmObilists to see that they ob- serve the law regarding lights on their cars has caused some talk around the streets during the past few weeks The comment has not been occasioned by any wish on the part of the tOWnspeOple in general to rave wh Olesale arrests of motorists for trivial violations of the law, but be- cause of a natural wonderment result ing from a change in policy on the part of the authorities.
 Last summer, although the law was no more stringent than lt is now, there were two or three drivers of motor cars In court almost every day for hay ing the rear lights on their machines extinguished as they approached the zealous policemen on the street cor ners. Fines were meted out regularly for several weeks and Plainville got considerable advertising for it's treat ment of people who visited the town in gasoline vehicles.
 The campaign was decidedly un- popular, people holding to the view that the authorities were unneces- sarily vigilant in watching autos. Why they changed their tactics this year no one seems to know. Never theless there is not any great excite ment over it, the autos continue honkng through the town and the place appears to be as peaceful and law abiding as ever, even though the officers wink an eye as the tail- ightless cars proceed through here towards their destination.
