privately expressed their conviction
that the de faoto government, or at
least General Carranza's eersonal con
troll of the political situation, was
growing steadily weaker. They have
another report that the time might
come soc when he would be forced
to leave Mexico.
The main point urged by General
Carranza In asking for the withdrawal
OF American troops from Mexico was
! that their presence on Mexican soil
was not understood by the Mexican
people and hindered his efforts to es.
tablish a civil government. The Mex
lean commissioners at Atlantic City
have presented this view to their
American colleagues, but so far have
not succeeded in convincing the Amer
leans of the ability of their govern.
ment to protect American border life
and property should the troops be
withdrawn.
While official reports on progress
from Atlantic City are closely guard
ed, it has become increasingly appar'
ent here that the continuance OF dis
turbed conditions throughout Mexico
is operating against the commission
ers in their efforts to reach o solu'
ton Of the border problem.

IS CARRANzA ABOUT
TO FLEE MEXICO
Has Been Whispered for Some Time
and Now Believed-Wife Already
In the United States.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington. Oct. 25.-Charges that
General Carranza is preparing to leave
Mexico are being freely made by his
political opponents in Mexico City.
They are based upon his decision to
leave his capital for Queretaro and the
fact that Mrs. C~arranza already has
crossed the border line into the Unit
ed States, accompanied by the wife Of
her husbands war minister and chief
supporter, General Obregon.
Information to this effect is reach
ing officials here from various reliable
sources. So far nothing tangible tend.
ing to support the story has come
through official channels.
The purpose Of the visit of Mrs. Car.
rama and Mrs. Obregon. as explained
at the Mexican embassy, is for a tour
OF the United States. Word Of the ar
rival at the border also Of Mrs. Jacinto
Trevino, wife OF the military com.
mander Of Chihuahua state, has not
been received Tuesday night.
Friends Would Be Warned Of Trouble.
1t was pointed out; however, that
Trevino has been among Carranza's
staunchest supporters and that If the
first chief believed his hold on the
political situation was weakening Ire.
vino very probably would be warned
in order that he might also Mace his
family in safety.
The state department has not re.
ceived word that Generals Carranza
and Obregon have left Mexico City
for Queretaro. Previous advices, how.
ever, said the first chief wo}id go to
that place in connection SithO the
meeting OF the constitutional conven.
ton for which delegates were elected
last week. This is the only explana-
tion obtainable here for Carranza's de.
p%arture from his capital.
Persistent reports that Carranza
was about to leave Mexico have been
in circulation along the border fol-
some time. It is not known that the
American military authorities have
been able to gather any definite in
formation in this regard outside OF the
coming Of Mrs. C~arranza and Mrs
Obregon.

Explains Matter Of a Charter Commits

on November 9Th.

A charter commission has been or
shortly will be appointed. This is In
line with the call for an election to be
held on November Z TO determine
whether n new charter shall be had.
Under the law there Is no compul.
sion that a charter commission be
voted for. but as q matter OF fairness
we believe II best that a list Of per.
haps twenty-five be submitted to the
electorate from which fifteen charter
commissioners shall be selected. who
will frame a new charter u the voters
shall decide that n new charter Is de-,
sired.
\ new charter within itself does not
mean anything more than the placing
Of the city within It's proper class and
permitting bf the raising Of needed
rcynucs, which under the present
charcr is not possible.

raise the tax rate. Reports are being
circulated that u new charter Is a
sChcmc to raise taxes. We omphatt

framed by the commissioners and then

NEW BULLET GOES
THROUGH STEEL
Armor Piercing P~rojectile Tested at
Sandy Hook by. Army Officers
Promises Good Results.

New York, Oct. 25.-Army officers
who have observed the tests of the
new armor-piercing bullet now In
progress at the Sandy Hook proving
grounds, are enthusiastic over the re-
suits. The bullet is only 80 caliber
and can be fired from the regulation
army Springfield rifle. At a distance
of so yards the projectile plowed
through a sheet Of steel th%ree.quarters
of an inch thick and then penetrated
a target planted behind the steel
plate.
1t is believed that n Of the new
bullets could be fired through from
between 10 to 20 ment standing in a
rows The bullets are tipped with a
piece Of steel encased In lead, which
acts as a lubricant when the bullet
strikes steel, and thus adds penetra.

through targets in recent tests were
but little distorted.

Despite Efforts There Are No Signs

UNION LEADERS DISAPPOINTED
Because Union Men Who Have No

New York, Sept. 29.-The widely ex
plotted sympathetic walk out" of
trades unionsts in Greater New York,
in aid of the striking carmen, which
was supposed to have started Wednes-
day, had not materialized last night
according to the police. The labor
leaders claimed, however, that more
than 100000 workers actually had
quit their places, but refused to make
public the names OF any unions answ

they were unable to find any evidence
of a general strike.
A meeting late yesterday of repre-
sentatives of SO unions of the united

membership of more than 100,-
600, refused to take any action in the
sympathetic strike movement, it was
announced. They simply voted, accord

BIG RAILWAY CONTRACT
Hoosck Falls Boy Has Enormous
Work to do in China.

William f. Carey. a former Hoosick
Falls boy, who has often visited
friends in Bennington, and who has
achieved nationwide fame as one of
the foremost railroad construction
contractors. left last month for China
to carry out canal and railway con-
struction contracts involving in the
neighborhood of $100000,0OO He will
build 1,50O miles of new railway for
the Chinese government and will also
undertake the reclamation Of the
Grand Canal, 500 miles in length, the
artificial waterway which connects the
Yangts river with the Hoang-Ho,
built more than 1000 years ago.
The letting of these contracts to
Americans is hailed as turning
point in the history Of the worlds fl
nance. Formerly these arrangements
were carried out in London, but the
world war has changed things and
China has recently been financing in
the United States. The Carey people
have entered upon work which will
tax their capacity for the next seven
years.

PERSONS IN
FARMHOUSE ARE
FOUND DEAD
Crime at a Lonely Farm in Con-
neCtiCut
WHOLE FAMILY is WIPED OUT
Mother, Daughter and Son Murdered
Another Son Suspected of Having
Killed the Others.

Springfield, Mass, Sept. 29.-The
dead bodies of three persons, mother,
daughter and son, with shot gun
wounds in the head OF each, were
found yesterday afternoon in one
room of a lonely farm house in Toll
land, a sparsely-settled town in the
southwestern part of Hampden
county near the Connecticut line.
Henry w. Jordan, an S4years-old
farmer of Tolland discovered the
bodies when he went to the house
to borrow gun. The dead persons.
who were the only inhabitants of the
house, are Mrs. Helen Gilmore, about
60; her daughter, Miss Anna Gilmore.
about %; and her son, Edward, about
27.
Both women were undressed and
in bed The body of the son. clothed
only in a pair Of trousers, lay on the
floor near the door. A double-barreled
shot gun and three empty shells were
at his side. The top of the sons
head was blown oil, and the two other
members of the family had been shot
through the head The shooting is
supposed to have taken place early
yesterday morning.
The only explanation of the crime
current in Tolland last night was
that the son, Edward, had shot his
mother and sister in fit Of insanity
and had then killed himself. Last
week, Elias Gilmore, brother of the
late Rufus Gilmore, husband of Mrs.
Helen Gilmore; and Miss Lydia Gill
more, about 80, sister of Edward
Gilmore were taken to the North
ampton hospital for the insane. Ed
ward Gilmore was employed at the
factory of the William l.. Gilbert
clock company at Winsted. Ct, and
went to Tooland few days ago TO
dispose of the stock on the farm and
to bring his mother and sister to live
with him.
The cattle and other stock on the
place were sold last Saturday to
Charles Soues OF New Boston for
1925 In Edward Gilmores pocket
yesterday was found over $500. The
Gilmore children were all born in
Tolland, where Rufus Gilmore died
last spring Dr. Ward of New Boston
viewed the bodies. The authorities
of Westheld we're notified of the crime
last evening.
1t is thought that the motive for the
shooting may have been Edward Gil
more's desire to have his mother and
sister move to Winsted and their un-
willingness to do so. The son had re-
Gently paid a months rent to Col.
Horne OF Winsted for an apartment
for himself and his mother and sister.
Medical Examiner L. S. Smith of
Vestfeld viewed the bodies late last
evening and turned them over to
Undertaken Gibbons of Granville. The
mother had wound under her right
ear; the daughter was shot through
the left eye, and the entire left side
OF the sons head was shot away.
