the pill habit is not a health

REPLY TO CARRANZA'S
NOTE GOES FORWARD
[Continued From First Page]
Watertown. N. Y. He will keep in
close touch with the department by
telephone and telegraph, advising
with Mr. Polk while the conversations
are in progress.
May Lend Financial Aid
While high officials have admitted
that the Washington government in all
probability would do what it could to
encourage American bankers to go to
the aid of the defacto government if
General Carranza would furnish pro
per guarantees, Counsellor Polk took
occasion to-day to state that his con
ference yesterday with Henry T.
Fletcher, ambassador designate to
Mexico and Paul M. Warburg of the
Federal Reserve Board, had nothing
to do with this aspect of the situation.
The fact that his visitors came to
gether, he said, was merely o coinci
dence and without significance.
Department officials made it plain
that it was as yet too early to fore
cast clearly what might be evolved
from the more favorable aspects of
the Mexican situation presented by
General Carranza's recent amicable
note. Everything depends, it was
pointed out, upon the degree to which
suspicions previously entertained by
the first chief as to the motives of the
United States have been overcome.
Text of Xote
The text of the note, addressed to
Mr. Arredondo, follows:
"Sir: I have the honor to ocknowl
edge the receipt of your communi
cation of July 4, 1916, in which you
transcribe a note addressed to me by
the secretary of foreign relations of
your government and to request that
you will transmit to him the following
reply:
Mr. Secretary: I have the honor
to acknowledge the receipt of your
courteous note transmitted to me by
Senor Arredondo on the 4th instant in
which you refer to my notes of June
20 and June 25. and to assure you of
the sincere gratification of my govern
ment at the frank statement of the
difficulties which have unfortunately
arisen in our relations along the in
ternational boundary and the unre
served expression of the desire of your
government to reach an adjustment of
these difficulties on a broad and amic
able basis. The same spirit of friend
ship and of eolicitude for the con
tinuance of cordial relations between
our two countries inspires my govern
ment, which equally desires an imme
diate solution of the matters of differ
ence which have long vexed both gov
ernments.
Spirit of Concord
" 'lt is especially pleasing to my gov
ernment that the de facto govern
ment of Mexico is disposed to give
quick as well as practical consideration
in a spirit of concord to the remedies
which may be applied to the existing
conditions. Reciprocating the same
desire, the government of the United
States is prepared immediately to ex
change views as to a practical plan to
remove finally and prevent a recur
rence of the difficulties which have
been the source cf the controversy.
" 'Accept, Mr. Secretary, the re
newed assurances of my highest con
sideration.'
"I am, sir, yours very sincerely,
"ROBERT LANSING."

FRIDAY EVENING,
BLACK AS WORKER
MAKES HIT HERE
On Job Early and Late; Likes
to "Learn Things For
Himself"
Frank B. Black,
V\\ i S/J the new State High
\xxwißurrz way Comni ' Sßioner '
Pwr delighting every
body around the
r J8i3399v office by the man
-41-fiffflflw " C ]j ln 1^ rh,cil as
Cag* "Don't be afraid
of loading me up,"
said he to an at
tache who begged pardon for bringing
him an armload of correspondence
before he had time to get accustomed
to his new chair. "I've never been
afraid of work and I'm not going to
begin now."
Commissioner Black is an early
riser, but he doesn't obey the old adage
of "early to bed." He Is brimful of
energy and Initiative and has piled up
a good-sized fortune solely through his
own efforts in developing coal lands in
his home district. "I like to learn
things for myself," he told employes of
the department when he proposed a
trip by auto over the road systems of
the State. "Once when I was pros
pecting for coal an engineer I had em
ployed used the excuse of having too
far to walk to work to bolster up a
lame report. So I thought I would
walk over myself before breakfast and
see what was doing. I found a fine
vein of coal and beside getting my in
formation first hand worked up a
grand appetite. And it was only ten
miles."
Gas Company Ruling.—The People's
Natural Gas Company, of Altoona, is
ordered in a decision handed down by
the Public Service Commission to-day
in the case of J. B. Swoveland vs. the
company to file, post and publish, ln
accordance with law, an amendment
or supplement to its tariffs and rules
so as to eliminate guarantee deposits
objected to by certain patrons, unless
it requires them of all. The company's
contention was that deposits had been
required only of strangers or those
known as "slow pay."
Complain or Crossings.—The Chest
nut Hill Business Men's Association,
of Philadelphia, to-day asked the Pub
lic Service Commission to require the
Philadelphia and Reading Railway
Company to eliminate grade crossings
at Mount Airy, Mermaid avenue and
Willow Grove avenue.
Jitney Cases Up.—The Public Serv
ice Commisison to-day heard oral ar
guments of attorneys representing 250
operators of jitneys in Wllkes-Barre
which the Wilkes-Barre Railways
Company has charged are being op
erated illegally. The contention of the
jitney men is that they do not come
under the public service act, but are
subject to regulation by the munici
palities in which they operate.
Payment of Bonds.—Oscar L. Swartz,
steward for the State Hospital at Nor
ristown, was to-day notified by the
Attorney General that premiums on
bonds for officials of that institution
cannot be paid out of the special ap
propriation to the Board of Public
Grounds and Buildings, but must be
met out of the appropriation for the
hospital itself. The department also
gave it as its opinion in reply to a
question raised by the State Superin
tendent of Public Instruction that a
school district can, by the consent of
three-fifths of the electors voting at
the election, increase ita indebtedness
for purposes specified by the school
code to an amount in excess of 7 per
cent., but not exceeding 10 per cent,
of the assessed valuation of property
in the district.
Pittsburgh Hearings.—The hearing
of the Pittsburgh Coal Operators vs.
the Pennsylvania Company Was con
cluded yesterday. Briefs will be filed
and the case h€ld over till next Sep
tember, in all probability.
State College Thanks Rambo.—Su
perintendent of Public Grounds and
Buildings S. B. Rambo has received a
letter from Arthur W. Crowell, pro
fessor of landscape art at State Col
lege. in which he thanks the depart
ment and Mr. Rambo personally for
the splendid treatment which the State
College students received in connec
tion with their work of surveying the
Capitol Park extension under the aus
pices of the State. The students fin
ished their work in ten days' time and
will now take up the next step, that of
getting out plans suggestive of the
treatment of the whole property.
Among the workers was one girl. Miss
Pattee, who, with her chaperon, was
one of the leading figures among the
college students. Miss Pattee is a
daughter of A. li. Pattee, professor of
literature at State College and a writer
and author of note, one of his prin
cipal works being a "History of Ameri
can Literature Since 1870."
