Boroughs Will Appeal to
Public Service Commission
The council of Penhrook determined
last evening to test the raise of water
rates before the Public Service Com
mission as predicted in the Telegraph
Wednesday evening. Highspire and
Hummelstown are willing to join
forces in the protest. Borough Solici
tor Svvartz said that if the court hold
that the Penhrook ten-vear agree
ment is a definite contract in place of
an indefinite one the water company
can be enjoined by law from raising
the water rates within the life of con
tract. But if upon investigation it Is
found that the water company is not
in a position to pay interest* on the
bonds and is not making any money,
the Public Service Commission would
be justified in granting an increase
rather than have the company de
clared insolvent But before the raise
goes into effect every effort will be
made to prove the validitv of the
Penhrook contract. If time limit has
expired In other boroughs, their con
tention would have no bearing on
those whose contract are still in ef
fect.
The paving contract from the State
was read but as there was a mistake
with reference to a block beyond the
borough limit, the contract was re
ferred back to highway department
for correction.

Lansing and the Pan-American diplo
mats continued their efforts to solve
the Mexican problem to-day at a con

The diplomats had before them the
latest official information relating to
the relative' military supremacy of the
contending factions in Mexico. Their
accepted policy was that eventually
the party which can demonstrate its
superior strength and its ability to en
force a stable government shall re
ceive support and recognition. There
was no thought that this question
could be settled at to-day's meeting.
One point apparently already agreed
upon was that General Carranza would
be asked to send a representative to

leaders.

Perspiring, but energetic and thor

candidate for Mayor, sat at his office
desk and discussed his platform from
th-> woman's viewpoint.
"Above all," he said, "I promise the
people if they elect me that 1 will run
a safe, sane and clean town. One
thing you can be sure about. I will
catch the crooks and run to earth the
wrongdoers as they are not being
caught to-day. I can't believe in giv
ing the crapshooter 30 days and let
ting the murderer work his way
through the courts to freedom."
There is that in the doctor's keen,
kindly eyes which forces home the
truth of his purpose.
He spoke of the abolishing and wip
ing out of the infamous red light dis
trict. Should such conditions arise
again during his administration, he
says he believes the problem could be
met by strict police surveillance and
systematizing.
Takes Crack at Police
"Why, 1 ran this city before with a
i dozen less police than they have to-
I day and I had a better, more decent
place," he boasted. "The town itself
is not bad. not a bad place at all.
The real people of Harrisburg never
