Memphis, Tenn. Jan. IS. -Four
special trains bearing members of
Troop c, First Pennsylvania Cavalry,
who have been on the border for the
past six months began arriving in
Memphis to-day on their return to
pennsylvania to be mustered out.
The main body of the troops, how
ever, will not arrive until Sunday

have been made by Memphians. The
soldiers will lay over in Memphis

given special attention. They will
visit the city parks. Commercial club
and other places of interest to break
the monotony of the trip.
In Memphis the Illinois Central will
receive the trains and handle them

ceed straight home. All the boys of

Washington. d. c., Jan. 13.-The next
moves to be made by the United States
in dealing with the de facto government
of Mexico has been decided upon by
President Wilson and will be announced
after the meeting in New York Monday
of the Mexican American joint commits
sion. Withdrawal of the Pershing ex-
pedition across the American border and
the sending of Ambassador Fletcher to
Mexico city are understood to be the
first steps that will be taken.
Secretary Lane and the other mem
bers of the American commission, DR.. j.
r.. Mott and Judge George Gray, will
meet Caranza's representatives in New
York on Monday in what is exepected
to be the final session of the joint COM
mission. Already the American com
missioners have informed the Mexicans
that in view of Carranza's repeated re-
fusal to ratify the protocol signed at
Atlantic city after almost three months
deliberation. they regard further con-
ferences as useless. Their attitude is
approved by the President.

When Express Takes

Wilmington, Del, Jan. IS. Six
men were killed and two injured
shortly before noon to-day when the
Norfolk express on the Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington railroad,
due in this city at 1928 o'clock, struck
gang of track laborers about 100
yards south of Bellevue station. The
foreman of the gang, Michael Ahern,

How the men happened to step upon
the track directly in front of the eX-
press is a question that the railroad
authorities are unable to solve. The
men, according to their instructions,
are supposed to stand clear of all
tracks.
Express Takes Sidetrack
The accident happened at a sec
tion of the line where the two pas
senger tracks leading from this city
are enlarged into four passenger tracks
that continue into, Broad Street Sta
tion, Philadelphia. The men were
working upon the track on which the
train was approaching. At the same
time passenger train, northbound,
and freight train going in the same
direction approached where the men
were working. The presumption is
that the men stepped from the
straight line OF track on which they
thought the Norfolk express. was NOV

city.

SUGGESTS WAYS
OF PUTTING R. R.
LAW INTO EFFECT
Supplemental Brief in Adam
son Case Urges Operation
of Legislation
HOW 1T CAN BE DONE
Department of Justice Defines
Act i'll Message to Supreme
Court

Washington, d. c.. Jan. 13.--In a
supplemental brief in the Adamson
law test case, received to-day at the
Supreme Court for formal filing next
Monday. the Department of Justice
makes suggestions for machinery to
put the law into effect.
Under existing railroad contracts.
the brief declares, the phrases days
work and days wages have a we'll
recognized meaning in most freight
service contracts to be 100 miles or
less at 10 miles an hour" BY sub
stituting II " miles per hour speed
basis for the existing 100-miles-1O
hour-day scale, the brief asserted, the
Adamson eight-hour standard can be
generally put into practical operation.
The following proposed endorsement
on existing ten-hour contracts was
submitted to the court:
whenever by this schedule more
than eight hours constitutes d days
work, the same is hereby reduced to
eight hours, whether herein stated in
terms of hours or in terms reducible
thereto. and all overtime shall be paid
pro rata"
Statement On Operation
Regarding this proposed effect the
brief added:
THE Adamson act declares in effect
that every employe of the class af-
fected, no matter what his task shall
be considered at the end of eight hours
to have earned the contract price pay?

START FIRST
WORK ON THE
PENN-HARRIS
DrillerS Bore Holes to Bedrock
to Ascertain How Deep Foun-
dation Must Go

First actual work on the new Penn
Harris million dollar hotel at Third
and Walnut streets is actually under
way, crew of drillers being at work
on the boring of holes to bedrock in
order to ascertain how deep the foun-
dations must be laid. About fifteen
feet below the present excavation, it is
estimated, bedrock will be found. The
company will be saved a large sum on
foundation expenses, due to the fact
that the old cellar of the Grand Opera
House was never filled up. Phillips &
Worthington, of New York, are maxi
ing the borings
At meeting of the directors of the
company yesterday afternoon final
steps were taken to have Mrs. Pen
field, wife of the American ambassador
to Vienna, sign the deed of transfer of
the site as representing the Weight
man estate. The transfer will be made
through the Commonwealth Trust
Company on Monday. The deed is
here and all the details have been
completed and ratified by the stock
holders.
To enable the builders after the
contract has been let, to lose no time
in beginning operations the tenants of
the Strawberry street properties have
been ordered to vacate by March l.
Preliminaries have also been COM
pleted by the directors for the pur-
chase of the more than 1900 tons of
steel that will be required in the struc-
tural work of the new hotel. the order
to be placed in time to give the con-
tractors the advantage of early de-
livery.
Word has beAl received from Syra-
cuse, n. Y. that the United Hotels
Company, which has leased the Penn
Harris and will operate it, will in
crease it's capital stock to S10,00O,0OO
in order to properly finance this and
other enterprises. The magnitude OF
this company's operations may be
judged when it is known that the
linens for the Penn-Harris alone will
cost about 100000. The company
has procured from the city govern
ment authentic copies of the Harris
burg flag, and this, with the State flag
and the words Penn Harris beneath
will constitute the china and other
decorations of the new hotel.

effect that dependents of the National

the absence of the guardsmen on the
border may receive financial aid from
the government whether such soldiers
are still In the Federal service or not
This ruling secured by Mr.. NORM after
persistently presenting the facts con-
nected with two cases arising in his
district to the department, is considered
one of the most important made since
the law was passed appropriating s2,-
100000 for the purpose of aiding de-
pendents of National Guardsmen on
duty at the border.
