WASHINGTON
NARROWLY AVERTED HAS
CAUSED PARENT TO TAKE AC-
TION WITH COMM SSIONERS.

Thursday afternoon while Charles
Burris and Felix Bodovitz were on
their way to the country in an auto
mobile to distribute some advertising
matter, while near the Ringing eros
sing on Washington street their au-
to was hit by a passing train, the
boys thrown to the ground and the
machine badly smashed. Fortunate
ly the boys sustained only slight
bruises but their peans of transpor-
tation was a fit subject for the re-
pair shop.
Jake Bodovitz, rather of one of
the boys stated yesterday that he
was going to go before the city coun-
Gil and ask that gates or a flagman
be stationed at this crossing. Mr..
Bodovitz states that the street is
narrow there and when trains are in,
the cab men and jitney drivers have
traffic completely blocked, so that
it is extremely difficult to see when
a train is approaching. There is per
haps more driving done on Washing
ton street every "a hours than on any
other street in the city and the
city commissioners will be asked to
safe guard the public by gates or
flagman.

BIG SPRINGER BARBECUE

Jap Moore and j. NJ. Arnold were
in the city yesterday advertising a
big barbecue for Springer, to be held
on the 22nd of July.
The town of Springer has one of
the finest natural parks in all the
state. 1t is filled with pecan trees,
and is near the foot of the Arbuckle
mountains, which adds beauty to the
surroundings. A fine spring is located
in the park and there will be plenty
of water for all who come, and for
all the live stock.
Springer people know how to en-
tertain, and those who go will have
cause to remember the hospitality of
the people for many years to come.

POST OFFICE
A WELL BUILT
STRUCTURE
CONTRACTORS HAVE DONE
THEIR WORK WELL AND THE
BUILDING WILL BE A REVELA-
TlON TO THE CITIZENS.

In the new federal building and
postoffice, Ardmore will soon have
completed building of which any
city might be justly proud.
Ardmore citizens had dreamed for
number of years of this structure
and by the first of August the build
ers will turn over the building to the
government and the postoffice and
government offices located in this
city will take possession.
The building cost $121,OOO and
there is no detail that has been
sighted from the most insignificant
pipe in the basement to the magnifi-
cient court room with its imposing
ceilings and massive furniture.
The lobby proper is finished with
Alaska marble and the stair castings
and approaches are finished with
Alaska and Tennessee pink marble,
the floor will be of especially prepar-
I'D concrete with attractive designs
and the grill work, and wood furnish
ing will all harmonize in a most ar
tistic manner. There is nothing light
about the building in detail, the fur
nishings are massive and of solid
oak, the work room is spacious, well
ventilated and well lighted and the
employees have been provided with
jevery convenience so conducive to
efficiency in the service.
The entire ground floor will be lie
voted to the postoffice and posJmas-
ter while the two upper floors OF
spacious office suites aside from the
large court room will be occupied
by the federal officers now located IN
this city. The district Indian agents
office, the United States deputy mar
shals office, also rooms for the Uni
ted States district attorney, clerk of
court and other officials while court
is in session in this city. The court
room referred to above is by far the
most imposing of any interior in any
building in the city, the ceiling is %
feet in height and the walls have
been made of an especially prepared
substance that makes the acoustic
properties absolutely perfect, the dec
orations are most artistic and moth
ing has been overlooked to make the
room absolutely perfect The suite
of rooms reserved for the judge are

Bandits Still Active.

The Carranza government today
warned, at the direc.io-. of General
Carranza, that bandits which recently
defeated government troops at Cor
ralitos were headed toward the Big
Bend region in Texas.
At the same time the state depart
ment received a report from an Am.
erican in Mexico hat he nal seen
and talked with Villa near COrralit3s
a few days before the fight reported
in the CarranZa message.
Officials were pleased at the indica-
tion that General Carranza was dis
posed to seek cooperation in protect
ing the border. They saw in the warn
ing, however, a frank admission that
bandits still are active in the terri
tory over which the de facto govern
ment repeatedly has claimed com
plete military control. This may have
an important bearing on the diplo-
matte discussions.
The state department received in
formation Friday that many Ameri-
cans who hastened to the border or
the seacoast when the crisis seemed
grave, already are returning to the
interior of Mexico. Department of
ficials are using every effort to dis
suade them from this course.

DESIRE QUICK

SETTLEMENT
DEALINGS WITH MEXICO WILL
BE BROUGHT TO A SPEEDY
SOLUTION THROUGH AMIGA
BILE ARRANGEMENTS

Washington, July S.-lnception of
the diplomatic conversations which 1t
is hoped will result in a settlement Of
the differences between the United
States and the de facto government
of Mexico, awaited Friday night a
suggestion from General CarranZa as
to how they should proceed. State
department officials believe more can
be accomplished through informal
conferences between Eliseo Arredondo,
Mexican ambassador designate, and
Frank l.. Polk, acting secretary of
state, than by more formal ex-
change of views. They are willing to
accede, however, to some other plan
should the de facto government pro
pose it.
Mr.. Arredondo transmitted to his
government Friday brief and friend
ly note from Secretary Lansing ex-
pressing qualification over the turn
affairs between the two governments
has taken and accepting proposals for
diplomatic settlement of points in
dispute. The communication was ap-
proved by the cabinet before it was
sent to the Mexican embassy.
Speed Urged.
Officials did not fail to note Secre-
tary Lansing had laid stress upon the
desirability of giving quick and prac-
tical consideration to the immediate
conditions along the border which
have beenIa source of controversy. The
language of the communication plain
ly indicates a speedy solution of that
problem will be sought, whatever
time may be allowed afterward to
find a means of aiding the de facto
in restoring normal eco
nomic conditions throughout Mexico.
The definition of the border dispute
submitted by General Carranza in his
note suggesting negotiations for a
apparently has been found
acceptable by the Washington gov
ernment. That virtually narrows The
objective to the negCtia-
tors to consideration of the "reason-
able" anxiety of the U1Iel States for
the security of its frontier on the one
hand and the desire Or the de facto
government for early wi:lltawal of
American troops from Mexico on the

JACKSON GOES
AFTER THE CROOKS
Commissioner of Labor Seek
ing to Break Extortion Among
the Labor Foremen


An investigation. aimed to protect
alien employees and native workers in
industries from extortton or other
frauds practiced by some foremen and
petty bosses in industrial plants, I'M
known to the heads of the establish
ments, has been under way for some
time under the direction of Commits
sioner John Price Jackson of the De-
partment of Labor and Industry.
AS a result of the investigation, con-
Quoted through the employment bureau.
of the labor department, a foreman,
employed in a manufacturing plant, in
the western part of the state, was
arrested in Pittsburgh.
i Seven a~ffidavits have been obtained,
by agents of the labor department, from
Italian laborers who allege hat the
foreman had been obtaining $40 or
each payday, for a period of approx
mately two years, from five workers.
Another affidavit, from a laborer, al
leges that he was compelled to pay
81 to the foreman to obtain a job in
addition to a bonus every payday.
The labor department has the full CO.
operation of the heads of industrial
plants and labor leaders in conducting
the investigation.
Commissioner Jackson has ordered
the investigation under the authority
created by the employment agents act
passed by the last Legislature. Section
10, empowers the commissioner to in
vestigate all improper practices with
respec to frauds against employees and
aliens.

HOW ABOUT JAPAN ?

that America stands for in China.
This commercial arrangement is all
she has wanted in the past, n all
she wants to-day.
Given an equal chance, the legiti-
mate business hat we might do in
China is staggering in its proportions
There is enough of it to make all the
difference in crucial periods between
national hard times and national pros
perity.
China's chief need to-day is for
railroads. At a conservative estimate
there is room for the investment of
five billion dollars in Chinese railways.
China can by nc possibility supply the
capital, the materials or the technical
skill necessary to their construction.
Yet they are as badly needed for the
development of the country as were
our own transcontinental lines hat
opened up the West, or as the Canad-
ian Pacific was needed by Canada.
China knows it. She is anxious to
have them built. There are only four
nations on earth who have capital to
build any considerable portions of
these lines, who can supply the engi-
neers to see to their building and turn
out the rails and the rolling stock
necessary to their operation. Those
nations are France, Germany, Eng
land and the United States. Allowing
for the share of the smaller industrial
nations, it is putting a low estimate on
our business acumen to say, that with
our capital, our trained technical men
and our steel plants, we would secure
only one-ffth of the business.
If we did secure that fifth. matters
would proceed somewhat in this fash
ion. The Chinese government would
issue railway bonds TO raise the neces-
sary capital. Those bonds would be
offered for sale in the United States.
Any man with five hundred or a thou
sand dollars to invest could put it into
a Chinese railway bond guaranteed by
a stable Chinese government. If
China boated a billion dollars worth
of railway bonds in the United States,
it would mean first that this country
would draw an annual fifty millions
in interest alone, to be added to the
wealth of the nation at large.
OF the billion dollars thus raised in
the United States, however, a large

proportion would thus be spent in the
United States at once. All the neces-
sary materials of construction, all the
rails and cars and locomotives, would
be purchased in American mills and
car shops. Whole industries would
receive a big impetus, that would be
reflected not only in those industries
but throughout the nation, exactly as
the munition prosperity is being re-
fiected to-day. Not only would en-

By associated Pres.

Rheims, France, Aug. %. - An in
spection of the famous church of st.
Remy shows that it was damaged in
numerous places by the recent bonn
bardment which destroyed the civil
hospital. Cardinal Lucon is among
those who still remain here. He was
found on Sunday alone and kneeling in
praker on a heap of debris from the
cathedral. In spite of the noise of the
cannonading then in progress the car
dinal declared he intended to remain
in Rheims and would not desert the
city under any circumstances.

of our young men would find oppor-
tunity in the Chinese construction
work itself.
The business thus started would be
a steady one. not a boom to flourish
and die. The railroads would need a
continual supply of fresh material for
upkeep and extension. The orders
from such railroads as were financed
in the United States would come to the
United States to be filled, year after
year. The orders would grow stead
lily, not diminish.
