BEING DHILED
[Continued from First Page.]
Result to Be Presented
Should there be any new suggestions
from the Constitutionalists, the United
States government will endeavor to
arrive at a compromise with them.
When an agreement is reached the
results will again be placed before
the mediation board and the Huerta
delegates. The expectation is that if
the Constitutionalists are willing to
discuss the peace plan with the Ameri
can government an agreement can be
reached in a short time, as the pro
gram already makes provision for lib
eral participation by the Constitution
alists in the new provisional govern
ment.
The correspondence between the
mediators and the Constitutionalists
is expected to be brought to an end
in another day or two. The mediators
are Insistent on their original terms—
declaration of an armistice and broad
ening the discussion from international
to internal questions. The Constitu
tionalists are willing to meet the me
diators on a satisfactory basis as to
the latter point, but they are abso
lutely determined against declaring
any armistice.
Withhold Publication
It was announced by the mediating
plenipotentiaries last night that they
would make public to-day their corre
spondence with the Constitutionalists,
but word was received to-day through
the American delegates that General
Carranza's answer to their latest note
already had been dispatched to Wash
ington and would be forwarded by
Rafael Zubaran. It was decided,
therefore, to withhold publication for
the present.
The final communication from the
mediators in reply to the note brought
here by Juan F. Urquidi referred to a
paragraph saying that the differences
between the United States and Mexico
"ought not to be resolved without Con
stitutionalists being represented." The
mediators asked if this meant that
General Carranza was willing to enter
the negotiations on the original terms,
and if so, said that delegates should
bo sent here at once.
No answer from the Constitutional
ists which does not declare for an im
mediate armistice will permit them to
enter the negotiations. The mediators
have taken a firm stand on this point
and whatever communication on the
subject Mr. Zubaran may send now
as a result of his telegraphic confer
ences with General Carranza will not
alter the program outlined by the
mediators unless an armistice is de
clared. The Constitutionalists have
argued that to declare an armistice
without knowing in advance the terms
of the peace plan is like buying an
article of apparel without knowing if
it will fit. They maintain that their
large military organization cannot be
disrupted for a short period and held
at rest without considerable danger
to military chiefs losing control of!
their restless troops.
leaders Rig-ned Pact
Another factor is that all the mili
tary chiefs and leaders over a year ago
signed a pact, known as the plan of
Guadalupe, which provides specifically
that the Constitutionalists shall take
possession of Mexico City by force of
arms and establish a provisional presi
dency.
With this view the American gov
ernment is more or less in sympathy
and a compromise arrangement is be
lieved to be in sight whereby the
peace plan will be taken up with the
Constitutionalists in channels separate
from the. mediation. As a result no
protocol can be signed in the next
fortnight, it is believed, and probably
there will be a lull in the conferences.
Everything that has been advanced
by the American delegates in the pro
posals for peace has been contingent
upon ultimate Constitutionalist ap
proval, so that there is a confidence in
many quarters that agreement with
the Constitutionalists will not be a
difficult task, even if they do not join
in the conferences.
Have Voice In Cabinet
The Constitutionalists undoubtedly
•will have a voite in the selection of
the man to be provisional president
and at least two of their number
would occupy the principal portfolios
of the new cabinet.
The land and educational questions
are simply declarations of principles
on which reforms later may be under
taken and do not commit the new
government to any definite program.
It is said the entire peace plan is
explained in less than 300 words. It
: ets forth suggestions for the conduct
of a fair election and recommends that
recognition be accorded the new pro
visional government, provided it is set
up along the lines agreed upon.

Senate Action May Give Impetus
to Movement to Secure
Unification
By Associated Press
Washington, D. C., June 9. The
action of the Senate in ratifying the
organization of an international time
association created considerable inter
est in scientific circles here to-day.
The belief was expressed that this
step would give impetus to the move
ment to secure unification of time
throughout the world. Twenty-four
other counties had subscribed to the
convention and are expected to follow
the lead of the United States in ratify
ing the instrument. The other nations
are admissable. The object of the as
sociation is the unification of time by
the use of wireless telegraphy or other
signals, whether they be of extreme
precision or ordinary signals. In rati
fying the convention the Senate made
these reservations:
"First —That the United States may
send time signals from such radio sta
tions of its own as it may designate
and at such time as it may decide
upon.
"Second —That it may be free to use,
in sending radio time signals, the
method that it has used in the past or
such modification thereof- as may seem
to it desirable.
"Third—That it is to be understood
that in agreeing to this convention the
| United States government does not un
dertake to exercise any control over
private radio stations, that may possi
bly be contemplated beyond what is
permissible under existing laws."

McCarrell, and Steele's sentence was
the stiffest of the present week. On a
charge of stealing a diamond ring
Steele got from one to three years; for
forging a check for $l5O he got from
two to four years, the latter to begin
at the expiration of the forgery term.
Before the bench this morning Steele
told how he had obtained a copy from
which to forge one O. F. Baker's name
by ohtaining a check for $1.50 from
Baker, an uptown piano man. Steele
admitted having served a term of
thirty-four months in the pen upon
sentence from Lycoming county in
1910. He got from nine months to three
years then, and was only allowed
eighty-one days off by the prison au
thorities.
One Who Said Good-by
While Steele stood before the bar a
white-faced woman sat back in the
audience and nervously watched the
court. When sentence was pronounced
she went a little whiter and twisted
her hands in her lap. Then she hur
ried out to meet Steele and say good
by.
Most of President Judge Kunkel's
morning was taken up with the trial of
£>. R. Ream, who was charged with
false pretense. Ream sold a horse, it
is alleged, under false pretenses. The
jury went out to deliberate a short
time before the noon recess. The re
mainder of the morning in No. 1 room
was occupied with the trial of James
Lewis, charged with malicious mis
chief. The prosecutrix declared that
Lewis had crawled into her house and
poured oil over her bed.
Not Related—Just Her Husband
Maggie Calaman, who is the wife of
Rollie Calaman, but frankly admits
that she is still "mah mamma's baby,"
told a vivid story of Rollie's goings on
with her and his mother-in-law when
he got drunk and pounded both wife
and mother-in-law.
This Rollie is related to you, is
he?" inquired Judge McCarrell.

Calaman was sentenced to pay a $5

Robert Courtney was acquitted of an
assault and battery charge and the
costs were placed upon Jennie Zeim

convicted of stealing a basket of eggs
from a market wagon at the Verbeke
street market and got $5 fine and three
months; William Wilvert pleaded
guilty of stealing flowers from the
graves at the Harrlsburg Cemetery.

Railroads Anxious For a Settle
ment; Would Help
Business
Reports that a decision in the rate
increase would be forthcoming soon
were verified yesterday In the an
nouncement that the decision would
be handed down June 20.
Information received at the freight
offices of the Pennsylvania Railroad
In Harrlsburg, is that no specific date
has been fixed; but the decision
would not be later than June 20. A
dispatch from Washington to-day
says:
"It Is entirely probable the decision
will be handed down on a Saturday
after 12 o'clock, when the decision
can have no effect on the various stock
markets here or abroad.
"This prospective decision of the
Commission Is likely to be an import
ant factor in the markets. By hand
ing It down on Saturday, after the
close of business, plenty of time is
given for the whole decision to be di
gested before the markets again open
for business.
"It is understood the railroads will
not get the flat- tive per cent, increase,
which they demanded, and that the
Commission will order increases on
certain classes, or certain goods, and
will exclude other classes or commo
dities from the increase.
"The best opinion is that the net re
sult to the railroads will be an in
crease of about three to three and one
half per cent. It is believed there will
surely be increases on certain classes
of steel, oertain classes of copper,
sugar, nails, rubber, cooperage used In
connection with hardware, and on ar
ticles manufactured for farms by cer
tain corporations.
"It was figured by the railroads that
if they received increase of five per
cent, it would net them from $55,000,-
000 to $60,000,000 a year. Some con
tend the railroads would benefit to a
much greater extent if the full in
crease was granted.
"There is no way of figuring how
much the railroads are likely to gain
under the prospective decision until
the exact terms are available, but of
course an average increase of three
per cent, would net them about $36.-
000,000.
"The effect of any increase will be
beneficial to the railroads and cannot
be measured merely in dollars and
cents.
"A recognition of the justice of the
increased rates would be regarded
favorably and would be a stimulus to
business."

Endorsement of Woman
Suffrage Is Discussed
Chicago, 111., June 9.—With the ar
rival of every train load of delegates
to the twelfth biennial conference of
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs the question of the endorsement
of women suffrage by the federation
apparently assumes greater promi
nence. It was the leading topic on
informal discussions to-day, as thou
sands of clubwomen continued to pour
into this city. Some excitement was
caused in the suffrage wing late last
night by a rumor that the official
board of the federation had endorsed
a suffrage resolution at an executive
session. The rumor was promptly de
nied, but that did not stop its discus
siqn by suffrage leaders, who insisted
that the assemblage of women would
be unable to resist the pressure
brought to t bear by a large proportion
of their number who are ardent de
votees of the suffrage cause.

is not yet out of the woods as an ap
peal to the higher court will tie up
the matter.
"I am gratified naturally at the de
cision of the Dauphin county court
on this important question," said Com
missioner Bigelow. "It means that
the State highways of Pennsylvania
will now receive the attention which
they should have had and it will en
able the State Highway Department
to proceed at once with necessary re
pairs throughout the State. I hope
that future litigation will be avoided
in view of the illuminating opinion
handed down by the court in which
the legality of the act of July 7, 1913,
was clearly upheld."
The commissioner added that un
less further l<t' r ">n was Inaugurated
the progress >r ork by the State
Highway Department, during the com
ing summer, would be steady and
that every effort would be made to put
the State highways in first class condi
tion. He added significantly that this
work would be started "at once."
Governor's Statement
Governor Tener, who Is at the com
mencement exercises of State College,
when informed of the decision of
Judge McCarrelJ, ordering that the
money derived from automobile li
censes shall be turned over to the
Highway Department, said:
"Naturally I am very much pleased
over the decision of the Dauphin
county courts. While I was not thor
oughly conversant with the complete
legal phase of the case, yet there
seemed to be no doubt of the intent
of the members of the Legislature in
the matter of the passage of the act.
The money derived from automobile
licenses naturally should go to the im
provement of our highways, and I
sincerely hope in the face of the
broad decision of the learned judges
on this subject, that those who in
stituted the proceedings and naturally
are responsible for the delay in the
road work, will accept tt as final and
not carry the case further, thus al
lowing Commissioner Bigelow to im
mediately continue the improvements
which were so well started. If this
work is further retarded, the blame
will certainly be placed where it
should rest. If he is not further
harassed the commissioner will have
thfc roads in splendid condition be
,fore the summer is over."

The above briefly tells the story of
last evening's sweltering" meeting of
the Steeltor. Borough Council. Before
the session started all of the Council
men shed their coats and made them
selves as comfortable as the stuffy
Council chamber would allow.
President Reynder'.s, who is chair
man of the finance committee! Started
the session by reading that committee s
report. He showed that the borough's
estimated revenue for the coming year
would be $90,275, while the expenditures
would amount to $92,890, provided there
were no unlooked for expenditures. In
other words, more than $2,000 above
the borough's Income will be spent.
This will be taken care of from the
balance now on hand amounting to
about SB,OOO. The tax -rate was then
fixed at 9% mills, the same as last year.
The nine-tenths mill tax necessary to
care for the 1913-improvement-bond-is
sue interest and sinking fund was in
cluded in this rate. The itemized tax
rate is: Borough, 3.2 mills; sewer, 1
mill; water, 3 mills; intake, 0.4 mills;
filter, 1 mill; 1913 improvements, 0.9
mills.
Takr Up ParinK
After fixing the tax rate the regular
order of business was suspended and
Council took up paving matters. The
Central Supply and Construction Com
pany was given the contract to pave
Harrisburg street and South Front
street. 17,165 square yards, with sheet
asphalt, at the rate of $2.01 per yard
for the road. 42 cents per foot for curb,
$36 for catch basins and 80 cents per
foot for terra cotta pipe.
The Standard Bithulithic Company,
of New York, received the contract for
paving South Front, Chambers, HofTer,
Dupont, Washington and Highland
streets. Warrenite will be used. The
price will be $2.12 per square yard for
road, S6O for catch basins, 44 cents per
yard for curb and $1 per foot for terra
cotta pipe. This contract amounts to
16,224 square yards of paving and 8,-
205 feet of curbing.
South Front street will be paved
from the western curb to nine inches
east of the tracks of the Harrisburg
Railways Company with wooden blocks
at the expense of the trolley company.
The traction company offered to do this
paving if it were allowed to keep its
tracks along the canal side of the street.
Council accordingly rescinded its
former action.
rnnfridl* Not I,et
The contract for paving the other
nine streets to be paved was not given
out. Chairman Henderson, of the high
way committee, wants to have these
streets paved by the borough. In this
way a large number of men who are
out of work here will be given employ
ment. Councilman Nelley made a mo
tion to allow the Baldwin Hose Com
pany to expend $.1,500 In improving and
remodeling its hose house, in South
Front street. Councilman Stees then
moved that the hose company be allow
ed S3OO additional to purchase a strip
of land from tho canal company. Both
motions carried. Councilmen Stees and
XNelley have been lighting to get this
improvement measure through Council
for months.
On motion of Councilman Sellers the
purchase of 300 feet of fire hose from
the Eureka Fire Hose Company, was
authorized. M. I. Crane, of the Eureka
Company, was present. On motion by
Chairman Henderson, the highway com
mittee was given authority to go ahead
and lay new sewers in several of the
streets to be paved.

HOW TO GET RID
OF DYSPEPSIA
Don't Rely on Medicine) Don't Go on
Freak I)loti Common Sfimf and
an Antacid Immlly All That
Are Needed
"If you have dyspepsia, indigestion,
sour stomach, belching, distress after
eating, heartburn or any other stom
ach trouble due to hyperacidity (the
usual cause of stomach troubles), you
should take no medicine to act upon
the stomach Itself. That Is positively
not the way to cure the trouble.
Again, you should not half starve
yourself by going without the nutri
tious food that you need to rebuild
waste tissues. Some foods are not
good for people even when In perfect
health very rich, sweet, highly sea
soned dishes. Avoid these, but eat
fairly substantial meals of plain foods.
Eat slowly. Even if you drink nothing
but water, you should not drink with
meals. Drink before and after eating.
Do not take pepsin or other artificial
digestants. If you follow the fore
going simple instructions it Is probable
that you will not need any medicine at
all except, if you want to call it medi
cine, a little antacid after meals. The
best antacid is ordinary bisurated mag
nesia, which can be purchased at any
drug store. This is not to act upon the
stomach but on the contents of the
stomach. The antacid, as you can learn
by consulting your dictionary or en
cyclopedia, is merely to neutralize or
counteract the excess acid so the stom
ach can digest the food normally. Take
a teaspoonful of bisurated magnesia
in a little cold or hot water after each
meal. You should get immediate re
lief, even if your case is severe. Care
ful, moderate eating and the' use of
bisurated magnesia should put your
stomach in normal condition In a
short time; if you have not allowed
dyspepsia to advance to the extreme '
stage of developing stomach ulcers.—
