GENERAL BLISS
 TELLS HOW TO POLICE BORDER
Gives His Views to Mexican Joint Commission on
 Proposed Plans.

New London, Conn, Sept 13.-With the arrival here today of Major Gen. eral Bliss from Washington, members of the joint international commission proposed to take up again the ques- tion of devising an adequate system of policing for the Mexican boundary
 It was laid aside temporarily by the commission in order that the Ameri- can members might secure military advice on certain points The con ferees have taken up, while awaiting General Bliss. outlines Of economic and political conditions in Mexico. In presenting the latter's view yesterday, Luis Cabrera. head of the Medcon commission. drew attention to the progress that Carranxa had made. In January. 1915. he said the Carranza forces controlled only fringe of states along the gulf coast and a few ports on the west The remainder of the country was in the hands of Villa and Zapata and their followers
 Since Carranza today faces only scattered outlaw bands and thepe is nothing approaching organized mili- tary opposition to his rule through out the country. / his representatives apparently feel Justified in predicting that complete order soon will be re- established

DESIGNS STORAGE BATTERY TO USE IN LAKE "SUBS'
Bridgeport Engineer Has Invention of Great
 Possibilities.

A new storage battery designed for use in submarines has been patented by Edward Gerald Gallagher of Bridgeport and assigned to his en- ployers. the Lake Torpedo Boat Co.,. Of this city. Patents were issued un- der date of Sept; 5, application having been filed on June 1s. 1915.
 The invention in many respects ia similar to the standard type of storage cells though many impfovenents to prevent spilhng of acids are included in the claims of MT, Gallagher. It is believed that government tests of the new battery will prove it's superiority over those now in use in submarine construction.
 By the use of 1sa fanges and an elongated lip to the conta1ner vessel the invento1 prevents acid spf1iine, which under difficult conditions is now impossible.

APACHE SCOUTS PERFORM WEIRD
 GHOST DANCE FOR GEN. PERSHINC
 AND OUR PUNITIVE EXPEDITION

in the surrounding mountains. Their fantastic figures silhouetted against Pajorita mountain by the binding bolts, the Apaches scored even more heavily than they had expected.
 After an hours exhibition, the dance ended, under orders. Left to them selves, the scouts would have con- tinued for hours, even days, until they were completely exhausted.
 No one of the expedition. not even their mentor, Capt. Shannon, knows for what purpose the dance is given nor what is chanted. The dancers dress in secret and hide the accoutre- ments jealously. Certain steps oc- cur frequently but what they symbo- lize is unknown. They seem to think its pretty" was the only ex- planation Capt. shannon could of the ceremony.

PARDY FAILS TO
 SIGN BIG SEWER
 CONTRACT PAPER
Five Days Limit Reached, and Low Bidder Hasn't
 Accepted the Job.

Illness of William Chew, president of the paving and sewer commission. may prevent him from being present at the meeting tomorrow and in com seuence the commission may not take up the matter of the construction of the interceptor sewer in Railroad and Bostwick avenues. The T. J. Pardy Construction Co. was awarded the con- tract last week at the figure, $223,- osS.73. MT. Pardy, however. has since refused to sign the contract, declaring that his engineers failed to allow for damages which the railroad company might claim in case there were slides from the viaduct.
 The five days within which the con- tract must be signed expired today without MT. Pardy or his representa- tives having signed the contract. At his home today it was said MT. Pardy was at his office. At his office callers were informed that he was "out. " Where he was no one could say. Neither would any attaehe of the office say whether or not the contract would be signed. They would not discuss the contract in any way. GA
 Members of the paving and sewer are divided in opinion as to whether or not the $10.000 certified check which the company posted as a guarantee to go through with the work if awarded the contract, shall be declared forfeit While the con- cern stands to lose $10,000, President Chew if the board points out that the city lis losing much more if MT. Pardy fails to go through with the contract. His bid was about $175,000 lower than that of Edward Devoe Tompkins, Inc, the next lowest bidder.
 Commissioner James H. O'Rourke said today that he had not made up his mind what action he would take in the matter and he would rather wait for the meeting of the board be- fore expressing an opinion. All members of the board agree that 1t is becoming too common a practice for contractors to make bids for pub lie work and then when they fancy they make mistakes endearor to withdraw from carrying out the work and procure the return of their guar antee money. Several instances of this character have occurred in work which the board of education wished
 
 done.
 Secretary Bernard Heating of the board would not discuss the matter today and Commissioner Dwight c. Wheeler was out of town. The lat ter was a member of the committee which conferred with MT. Pardy over the so-called policy" which he want ed to arrange with the city before Sj tho contract AT
