BURIED In MEXICO CITY
Herrera, Accused of Killing Chief,
Summoned by Obregon to Explain
Suicide Story.

Mexico City, May 26-PrOvisional

years found their last resting places.
The body of the slain president ar
rived at Mexico City at 5 80 o'clock in
the morning, and was taken to the

Later the body lay in state until the
hour of the funeral, thousands pass
ing before the caSket to look on the
face of the man who was buried from
power by revolution, and whose death
occurred under circumstances that
wait explanation.
Rod0lfO Herrera, the rebel leader
who is accused Of aSSasSinating Car
rama, has been ordered to this city by
General AlvarO ObregOn to explain his
telegram saying that the late presi-
dent had committed suicide rather
than submit to capture. General OBJ
RECON in telegram to Herrera
warned the rebel chief that, unless he
comes at once to the capital and ex-
plains the circumstances of Carranza's
death, he will be captured by govern
ment troops and brought by force. Gen
eral Obregon declared that he is deter
mined to punish those responsible for
CarranZa's death.

RAIL ROADS WILL
GET 800 MILLION
Fund to Provide Equipment to
Overcome Congestion.
100000 NEW CARS NEEDED
Commerce Body Approves Big Loan
Campaign to Break Tieup Now
Well Under Way-cIearing
Way for Coming Crops.

Washington, May 22-Temporary
disposition of the $30O,00O,OOO revolv-
ing fund.- provided by the transporta-
ton act for relief of railroads. was
made in orders issued by the inter-
state commerce commission, which, at
the same time, took steps to meet flu
ture equipment needs of the carriers
by proposing organization of an equip
ment corporation with a capital stock
of $500,O0O,0OO
Recent suggestions Of the Associa-
ton of Railway Executives were fol-
lowed closely in appOrtiOning the
funds, but the commission confronted
the railroads with the necessity Of
making the largest possible contrt-
button" to meet the sums advanced
by the government.
The commission said it would not
follow any arbitrary method Of allO-
eating the money, but would attempt
would benefit.
AS to the equipment trust, the COM
mission proposed that the roads should
take stock in 1t equaling 25 per cent
of the cost of the equipment, with
money advanced by the government
per cent would be financed through
trusts placed on equipment to be built.
Some doubt was expressed as to the
ability to complete the formation of
such an organization. In the event
that it cannot be organized, the COM
mission said the $125,OOO,OOO set aside
for equipment purposes should be dis
tributed to those carriers who indi-
vidually "can meet the governments
advance with large proportional
amounts financed by themselves"
Strain on Credit.
While this required advance by the
railroads themselves was declared by
owners Of railroad securities to be too
much of a strain on railroad credit,
many Of the railroad executives be-
lieved it was entirely feasible.
The commission also practically put
a ban on extensions Of lines and bet
terments of trackage now in existence.
1t said that "loans would not be grant
ed for additions and betterments, I'M
less it be clearly demonstrated that
these improvements will facilitate ma
terially the movement of equipment"
A hearing on the proposed distribu-
ton was set for May %, and every
road which applies for a loan will
have to show it's entire financial OBJ
legations, together with Forthcoming
requirements which will force expend-
iture of funds
The campaign to break the freight
congestion at the nations traffic gate
ways was well under way today, the
interstate commerce commission, in
the space of few hours, having taken
three important steps toward that end.

That il four times - many fatalities - there

only one automobile to every Is now in use.
The increase is not especially alarming, con-
sidering the larger number Of chances taken.
and yet 1t is possible to do great deal better
than We are now doing, in the opinion Of tho
national safety council. which has just been
formed. -Four thousand Of the larget Ameri-
can Industrial concerns are backing the council;
which will undertake campaign to show how
the per capita proportion Of accidents may be
still further reduced. Bulletins will be placed
In the hands Of every car owner explaining
traffic laws, automobile mechanics and pedes-
trian psychology. There will also be ma
tional accident prevention week.
The automobile Is great agency in speed
Ing up and otherwise increasing human eff
cheney. Any movement that will reduce the
casualty list without interfering with that mis-
sion will be welcomed.

Better Pay for Teachers.

It is not to be wondered that an insistent

Under such circumstances it is not past un-
derstanding why communism is creeping into
the public schools. Plainly there is something
wrong with the system and not everybody is
big or broad minded enough to Judge fairly
where the trouble lies and to try intelligently
to remedy it.
No class has developed greater percentage
Of radicalism in the last two years than those
who are working for fixed compensation
maintained on the old basis. Many of these
formerly considered themselves well paid. AS
rule they secured their positions only through
sacrifices of time, money and effort. Often
these people have been compelled to give up
to eat cheaper food, wear cheaper clothes and

they have become fertile soil for the seeds Of
communism and other isms which heretofore
have been quite foreign to this country and
even now find favor only with small minority.
The remedy for all such cases ought to
be perfectly obvious. 1t consists not in ruth

ration of the economic aad social status which
formerly existed. Let workers again be paid
