REQUEST or [. & N.
REFUSED BY CITY

Accompanied by letter from Road
Master Bats, of the Louisville
railroad company, a proposition, which
had reached the commissioners sew
eral days ago, was refused. and a let
ter to this effect was dictated to the
company yesterday.
The railroad company asked permis-
sion to repair the brick or block paw
ing between its rails, or, as the letter
said "straddles our rails for eight
feet" taking such work from the city's
control. The city is making paving
repairs, and always does this work.
The railroad company suggested that
it be allowed to effect repairs between
its rails and for eighteen inches out
side along the right Of way.
The city requires deposit Of some
stated sum for every opening made in
the pavement, and this is another fea-
ture of the ordinance seeking to pro-
tect the paving which the railroad
company has sought to overcome. but
which has not yet been changed

EXPECT NO DIFFICULTIES
BY CARRANZA REFUSAL

Philadelphia, Dec. 18.-To the terms
of the protocol providing for the with
drawal of the American troops within
forty days If no new raids occur near
the region occupied by General PERISH
ings column, it is believed Carranza
had offered no insuperable objection.
1t is known that the declaration of
Secretary Lane that the American
government reserved the right of unre-
stricted pursuit OF bandits by Ameri-
can troops wounded deeply the sensi-
bilities of Carranza and his official
family, and that the message brought
by Mr.. PAM was little more than a
counter declaration of the policy of
the Mexican government. That such
an outline of the Mexican policy would
block the negotiations was considered
improbable because the main question
at issue-the right of unrestricted pur-
suit-was not included in the protocol
itself.
An incident Of the preliminary ses-
sion was the appearance in the hotel
of j. ]. Halves. who represented him.
self as Villas publicity agent. He
made an unsuccessful effort to secure
an audience with the American CON-
missioners.

POPE WILL NOT TRY
TO MEDIATE AT PRESENT
81 AssoCIATEn pRrss

Rome, Dec 1S-Via Paris.-Pope
Benedict has no intention of attempt
ing to mediate among the belligerents
at present, according to q, statement
issued today by the Vatican. The
statement says that neither the pope
nor the holy see have made or wish to
make any comment regarding Ger
many's peace proposals and that
therefore an. announcements attrib-
uted to them are absolutely unfound-
ed II is added that the pope nat
urally has an ardent desire for peace
but that he does not believe that any
intervention at the present moment
would hasten it's conclusion. The net
result of several resolutions intro
duced in the CHAMBER of deputies re.
garding the German peace offer and a
prolonged discussion among the sem
ators and deputies was the decision
by the legislators that no peace would
be accepted unless in accordance with
national aspiration and the rights of
peoples based on the principles of ma
tionality. II such a peace is impos-
sible to obtain automatically it was
declared that it must be obtained by
victory of arms.

Washington, Dec. 18.-The federal
trade commission which has been con-
ferring with publishers, manufacture
ers, and jobbers in an effort to relieve
the news print paper situation today
addressed inquiries to all concerned to
ascertain if an actual shortage OF
paper existed.
Large publishers We're asked to re-
linquish some paper which they had
contracted for next year. The small
publishers are asked to the exten@ of
their needs. The manufacturers al ) di-
rected to inform the commission con-
corning their contracts and next years
production. The jobbers are requested
TO furnish information on the amount
of paper they will handle.
The conference discussed the pro-
hosal OF the manufacturers that the
large publishers give up tive per
cent of their 1917 contracts to the
small publisher. The large publishers
are apparently opposing this, contend
ing that no actual shortage exists and

STORM SEWER ON cOYLE
STREET ALSO NEEDS REPAIR

Because of the crushing of 36-inch
terra Gotta piping in the Coyle street
storm sewer, Commissioner Johnson
was informed yesterday that it would
be necessary to relay the sewer for
many blocks, and, until this work Is
finished, the city is maintaining a
suction engine. pumping the inflow at
the head of the sewer, which is out
near what is known as Butcher Pen
pond, for several blocks. emptying
such intake waters into manhole

is an expensive proposition, but 1t is
stated there is no way of remedying
the condition. until the broken piping
is replaced, which may be some weeks.
The 36-inch lead is more than

OF the most expensive items. Then
