PAONESSA EXPLAINS
 SUNDAY STORE HOURS
Merchants Took Initiative for Regulation, He
 Declares

Mayor A. NJ. Paonessa today ex- plained his views on the matter of Sunday business hours for stores selling food, as follows:
 There appears to be some mis- understanding as to the motives prompting my interest In the mat ter of Sunday business hours for stores selling foods, particularly meats.
 The idea of remaining open for a few hours on Sunday morning originated with the merchants themselves. and came to my atten- ton in the form of a petition for the establishment of uniform Sum- day hours. At present many stores remain open all day. This plan works a hardship on the storekeep- CT and Is not necessary to public service and convenience. Yet, mer- chants fear that If they take a few hours of recreation on Sunday competing merchants will remain open and their business will suffer as result. It has been suggested that a few hours on Sunday morn ing be designated as hours Of bus mess. If the merchants agree on these hours. stores will open during that period only and the result will he many hours Of recreation, rather than few or none at all, as the pres ent system works out.
 Tt Is not my object to have stores open throughout the day on Sunday; In fact this Is the extreme opposite Of what had planned and the opposite of the system I had publicly approved"

No Indication of Pub- lie Reply But Specific Questions Asked By Gales Will Be For mally Answered.
Secretary's Statement Gus tified in Administration , Circles - Situation To. day Remains Absolutely
 Unchanged.

Washington, June Is P)-Wash. ington officials gave no indication today that a public reply would be made to President Calles' objection 10 the administrations Mexican pol. icy, but 1t was indicated that spec,- nc questions underlying Secretary kellogg's position would be made the subject of formal communica- ton to the Mexican government.
 A series of communications and representations have been sent to Mexico City from time to time re. gently on various cases in which this government is interested, none of which has been made public and 1t was indicated that other matters cited by MT. Kellogg in the state. ment Saturday on the Mexican situ. ation would be the subject of for nal note.
 After the return of Secretary Kel- logg to his desk today 1t was appar- ent that for the present at least he saw no object in engaging in a long range debate with the Mexican president over a situation about which officials here are not in any doubt.
 Surprised At Attitude It was with manifest surprise that high officials learned that President Gales had chosen to view as an 'in- suit" Secretary Kellogg's statement of last week. warning against fur ther invasion of the rights of Amer leans in Mexico, but as the Gales statement was not a diplomatic pa- per it Is not in the class of pro- nouncements of which tho govern ment is forced to take official cognt- zance.
 Some of the language used by the Mexican president, if embodied in a formal note, would of course con- stitute cause for prompt and de- cisive reply. Since the statement was addressed only to the public through the newspapers. however. the American government under the practices of diplomacy can ignore fl if 1t so desires.
 Gets Reply Today
 Mir. Kellogg spent yesterday and last night aboard the presidential yacht Maytiower, with Mir. and Mrs. Coolidge and did not return to Washington until this morning. The text of President Gales sharp reply did not reach him until he came to his desk at the state department.
 Washington's View
 Administration officials take the position that in view of the visit to Washington of Ambassador Sheffield and his prolonged conferences both with the president and Mir. Kellogg. the American public was entitled to knowledge of the true situation in Mexico with which these conferences

New York, June IS R--Julius Kruttschnitt, former chairman of the board and directing head of the Southern Pacific railroad, died today.
 MT. Kruttschnitt died at the Presbyterian hospital at o'clock this morning. He was taken to the hospital three weeks ago for a minor operation and was appar- ently recovering when an unex- pected heart attack set in, causing his death.
 Funeral arrangements have not yet been made, but his former rail- road associates said that he prob ably would be buried at New Or leans, his old home.
 48 Years Of Service
 MT. Kruttschnitt's retirement May 31 last closed career covering more than 4S years In a service of Americas carriers which culminat- ed in his assuming the supervision of the Southern Pacific as the heir of the Hartman tradition in rail- roading.
 His ceding of active mana cement was In deference 10 the roads rule that its executives should give up the reins when they reached the age of three score and ten and was not due to any apparent lessening of his personal qualifications. The first intimation of impaired health came to the railroad world three weeks ago. when it was learned he had sustained the heart attack which proved fatal early today.
 Excellent Manager
 Under the Kruttschnitt director ship the Southern Pacific grew in 12 years from a road of ten thousand miles with annual earnings of s143,- 000,000 to 16,000 miles and earnings of more than $500, 100000 placing 1t third in the list of national carriers. He was reputed to be one of a group of half a dozen executives whose an- nual salaries were In excess of $100. 900 annually.
 Born In New Orleans, July 30, 1854, the future commander-in-chi of the Hartman lines graduated from Washington and Lee university l9 years later with the degree of civil engineer. After five years as a school teacher he entered the ser vices of the Louisiana and Texas railroad, now a part of the Southern Pacific, as a resident engineer.
 Joined Forces
 He attracted the attention of F. H. Hartman in 1900 when that rail- road Napoleon had obtained control of the Southern Pacific and was drawn into that organization as chief operating officer. In 1904 his juris- diction was widened to include ope- ration of the Union Pacific and further extensions Of Kruttschnitt control were recorded In railroad an- nals from time to time until the death of the elder Hartman.
 In addition to his commanding position in the transportation field Mir. Kruttschnitt was director and member of the executive committee of the Western Union Telegraph company and Of the Hartman na- tional bank and U. S. Mortgage and Trust company.
 During the war he served as a member of the railroad war board which assumed the task of attempt ing the emergency consolidation of all the primary carriers into a uni fled system for movement of troops and supplies.

Buffalo, N. r., June 16 R- Twenty-one families are homeless here today as the result of an ex- plosion from an unknown cause, and fire, which early today destroyed their homes in Carolina and Seventh streets, near the center of the city. The house In which the explosion occurred is so badly wrecked that cause probably will never be deter mined, the police say, although they are inclined to the belief that 1t was due to a gas leak. Damage is estimated at about s20,0oo.
 The flames spread so rapidly that several persons narrowly escaped se- rious injury or death. but the police and firemen rescued the few who were slow in making their escape, Despite the early hour, thousands of persons and hundreds of auto- mobiles jammed the streets near the fire and 1t was necessary at times for the fremen to turn the hose upon them to make room for addi- tional apparatus.
 The extent of the fire was due, firemen believe, to the close prox- lmity of the houses. seven of which were partly or completely burned.

FORMER RESIDENT OF SEWARD
 ARRIVES ON LAST BOAT

Seventeen years is a long time to be away from the Gateway City, says MT. s. M. Druxman, who is registered at the Van Glider. To a representa- tive of the Gateway MT. Druxman re- lated with enthusiasm the story of how he lived here with his parent1 seven teen years ago. Incidentally he was known as a clever 133-pound boxer, and fought 10-round bout with a Mick from Brooklyn. Modesty forbade MT. Druxman from mentioning the winner of the contest, but it was held, under the auspices of the chamber of commerce, and was the talk of the settlement for many days. And wine flowed freely over the victory. MT. Druxman at present is in the clothing and tailoring business, and is on his way to Fairbanks to look over the field in view of opening an up-to-date establishment of a similar nature. He says Seward and Fairbanks are the chief topics in the lounging rooms of the Seattle hotels and knows of several who are coming into this section to engage in business.
