ing 1t.
To attempt to predict the outcome of
the agitation concerning the width of
Main street north of High would be an
undertaking at once difficult and dan
gerous. There is no denying the fact
that since foundations were begun for
q building on the corner lot persons
who heretofore have shown little in
tcrest have been heard to lament the
situation. And it is true beyond any
question that the great majority of
townspeople especially regret that the
building is to be the kind that is pro-
posed. On the other hand, the owners
of the property in question probably
took more pains to sound public opin-
ION before beginning its development
than nine out of ten people would have
taken, and they are amply justified
not only in feeling annoyance that OPP.
position to their plans should have wait
ed upon the actual start of the work
but in claiming that the longer actor
is deferred the greater loss they vii
suffer. 1t is certainly regrettable that
! the present unpleasant situation coclt
not have been foreseen and avoided
but since it was not, the next best thin:
/ would seem to be compromise on /;
basis fair to all parties concerned. Thi
apparently is what the selectmen ar
endeavoring to bring about through
their plan of ascertaining and publish
ing what the property owners on tn
west side of Main street between Higl
and Grove streets are willing to max
in the way of concessions. looking to
ward the establishment of buildin
line.

The Meddler stated last week, his taste

telegram sent to Director General OF
Railroads Walter D. Hines. following
a meeting yesterday Of coal mine OPP
orators and coal dealers Of Indiana
asking that more cars for moving
coal be furnished the mines OF the
state, was made public here this
morning. The request, made by the
operators and dealers. they said. in
view Of the threatened strike Of min
ers November /. asks that all open
top cars be used during the remainder
of this month. exclusively for moving
coal.
The action of the operators and
dealers follows closely statement
given out by the miners yesterday de-
claring that a movement on foot TO
increase prices of bituminous coal was
unjustified, as the production Of coal
has not lessened and that the miners
have agreed to work steadily until
November l. The statement further
charges that any increases in the
prices Of coal now can be viewed only
las plain everyday profiteerfng.
The operators who Joined in the tel
egram to Director General Hines said
this morning that panicky market Is
causing an increase in prices and that
there is tendency on the part of
buyers to offer higher than market
prices for coal.

U. S. SOLDIERS KIDNAP
.MExICANS, is ASSERTED

The Mexican consul at Preside,
Tex, has reported to Ambassador
Bonillas two alleged invasions of
Mexican territory, which he says have
involved the kidnapping Of Mexicans
by American soldiers. The consul in
his report said he had complained to
the proper United States military au
thorities and that the soldiers were
arrested and the Mexicans freed and
their arms, which had been taken by
the soldiers, restored to them.
No complaint has been made or is
contemplated by the ambassador to
the American State Department it
was said at the embassy today, be-
cause the incidents have been prompt
ly settled by the action OF the mill
tary authorities and the Mexican gov
eminent does not care to create a
situation" by filing federal protest.
On one occasion 1t was claimed by
the consul three American soldiers
went across the border to the town of
San Juan and seized a number of
Mexicans, searched them and their
houses and carried them back into
United States territory with the arms
they found. The other occasion, the
consul alleges, was in the town of
Barranca de la LUCE and the Mexican
citizens seized were taken to the
town Of Maria, Tex. where they were
being held by the soldiers when the
consul secured their release through
the military commander at Maria.

that France will be hopelessly out

farmers have not even advanced to
the cradle age, which this country
reached before the coming of the
reaper and binder. Men and women
still cut their oats, wheat and grass

ireland and American Revolution

To the Editor of The Star:
The. utterances OF Senator Williams
on the floor of the Senate in denun-
citation OF the Irish people, as report
ed in The Evening Star, no doubt
shocked and amazed many of your
readers. l could not but feel the
sharp contrast between his words and
those Of Thomas Jefferson. the foun-
der of his party, when he said, Ire
land-may she soon burst her letters
and take her rank among the free re-
publics of the earth
Upon investigation the senator
found that the British hordes In the
'revoIution war were for the most
part composed Of Irishmen. The fol-
lowing excerpt from a letter writ
ten on June Is. 1877. by Commissioner
Arthur Lee at Berlin to Gen. George
Washington will throw considerable
light upon the alacrity with which
the Irish sprang to the side of Great
Britain in the war with America. Re-
fferring to Englands success in re-
cYuiting men in Ireland he says:
They have already experienced their
unwillingness to go, every man of a
regiment raised there last year e. e..
before the commencement of the war
against America) having obliged
1t is interesting, also. to notice the
contrast between the words of the
senator and the address of the Amerf-
can Congress to Ireland on July %,
1878:
1--WE are DESTROYS of the good opin-
ion of the virtuous and humane, We
are peculiarly DESTROYS of furnishing
you with the true state of our mo-
tives and objects, the better to en-
able you to Judge of our conduct with
accuracy and determine the merits of
the controversy with impartiality and
precision. Your parliament has done
US no wrong. You had ever been
friendly to the rights of mankind
and we acknowledge with pleasure
and gratitude that your nation has
produced patriots who have nobly
distinguished themselves in the cause
of humanity and of America"
