Harrlsburg. There Isn't going to be
any vacation for the members of Penn
sylvania's Public Service Commission.
Under the act the commission must
meet twice monthly end even if the
members were Inclined to comply with
only the letter of the law and have
purely formal meetings, with Just a
quorum present, there Is so much busi
ness piled up that vacations would up
set things and make the task of the
commissioners doubly hard In the fall.
The Job of being commissioner is by
no means any cinch, as every day sees
complaints appear and questions with
out number are turning up so con
stantly that It takes hustling to keep
the decisions worked out. The plan
now Is for the commissioners to bold
regular sessions In August and attor
neys who are compelled to appear are
not In the most amiable frame of mind.
The amount of business before the
commission Is far and away beyond ex
pectations, and as far as possible cases
of the same character are being
grouped bo they can be disposed of
when precedents are established. The
organization of the bureaus la being
perfected and two houses In Capitol
Park extension district which will not
be needed soon are being fitted up as
temporary quarters for commission
officials who cannot be accommodated
In the suite In the Capitol.
One of the odd things about the con
gested condition of the commission Is
that on the floor above there are Ave
Are offices and one of the finest court
rooms In the country reserved for the
uses of the Appellate Courts, which oc
cupy them about Ihree days a year,
the Supreme Court not using them at
all this year. The State Doard of Pub
lic Charities uses one suite five times
a year and the Board of Tardons the
court room ten times a year. Yet they
are maintained in splendid, though
solitary state, ready for the courts
which sit here In March and In May,
and then for about seventy-two hours.
Field Agents To Probe Worm Remedies
Federal Government flold agents be-
gan an Investigation Into the ravages
of the army worm in Pennsylvania and
also to take samples of materials used
to exterminate It, because of reports
that they were being adulterated. The
reports received at the Department of
Agriculture showed that the worm wrb
In lafge numbers In northeastern coun
ties and along the northern tier, where
It had not been very active. Erie re
ported a bad visitation. A new post
was reported from several corn grow
ing counties, It being the web worm,
Which attacks the Interior of the stalks
and Is very destructive. It Is said by
State officials to be hard to discover
until It has eaten the heart of a stalk.
Remedies for It are the same as for
the army worm.

physician, awarded the contract for

paroled on his representations to the
Judge that he has broken off the
cocaine habit during his confinement
and that a Job awaits him.
Washington, D. C Official advices
revealed that the Washington ad
ministration was meeting with success
In bringing Provisional President Car
bajal, General Carranza, General Villa
and Gen, Emillano Zapata into har
mony for the restoration of peace In
Mexico. From these four leaders
representing all the factors concerned
In the establishment of a stable gov
ernment came encouraging messages
in answer to the counsel and advice
which the United States has been
lending through Its numerous consular
and diplomatic agents to smooth the
way to a complete agreement.
General Zapata, about whom little
bad been known hitherto, answered a
communication sent Indirectly to him,
promising to co-operate with the Con
stitutionalists in the work of pacifica
tion. While General Carranza is ready to
grant an amnesty &nd give guarantees
to those who have opposed the Con
stitutionalists, persons criminally re
sponsible for the assassination of
Madero and Suarez will not be given
immunity. As most of the guilty have
fled the country, the Carbajal govern
ment Is not disposed to object to such
exceptions as are made by General
Carranza in this connection, especially
as it is intended to prosecute them
through the courts, and those accused
will have an opportunity to prove
their innocence.
Doubts which officials had expressed
over General Villa's attitude also were
quieted to a considerable extent when
word came from the fighting general
himself that he would do all In his
power to restore peace In Mexico, and
would unite with the other Constitu
tionalist leaders toward that common
purpose. Villa's message was sent In
response to the personal appeal of the
Washington government urging him to
forget his personal differences with
Carranza in the interest of national
patriotism. Officials felt after the re
ceipt of Villa's message that even If
political dissension did arise over pro
motions or division of political spoils,
6iich friction would not be permitted
by Villa to develop to the point of
counter revolution, a circumstance on
which he now realizes the American
government would frown.

HUERTA IN JAMAICA.
Ex-Mexican Dictator Now Safe From

Kingston, Jamaica. General Huerta
and tho party of fugitives from Mexico
accompanying him, arrived here on
board tho German cruiser Dresden
from Tuerto Mexico. Arrangements
had been made in advance of the
former Mexican dictator with General
Blanquet and the reBt of the party to
remain here for a week or more at a

New York. Under orders of Presi
dent Wilson and Attorney-General Mc
Reynolds, a Sherman law anti-trust
suit to dissolve tbo New Haven Rail
road, trolley and steamship combina
tion In New England was filed here.
The combination was scathingly
scored as a "combination in reBtralut
of trade and commerce."
The bill charges that the New
Haven has acquired control of nine
railroad systems, 22 boat lines and
1,600 miles of trolley lines. It charges
that the New Haven earns about 91
per cent, of the gross freight revenue
and about 95 per cent of the gross
passenger revenues of all New Eng
land railroads.
Asks Separation Of All Roads.
The Government asks that the con
tract, combinations and conspiracies In
restraint of trade and commerce, to
gether with the attempts to mo
nopolize, be declared in violation of
the Sherman aull trust law. It asks
for the separation of all the railroad,
steamboat and trolley lines, and for
the breaking up of the control of
steamboat lines through the navlga
Hon company.
It Is further asked that the Court
declare the acquisition of the Boston
and Maine stock by the New Haven
Illegal, and that the New Haven com
pauy and the Boston Railroad Hold
Ing Company be directed to sell all the
stocks and bonds held by them In the
Boston and Maine and Its leased lines
Sales Only To Persons.
Finally the Government prays that
all of the sales necessary to the break
Ing up of the alleged monopoly be
made under the supervision and dlroc
lion of the Court to persons not stock
holders or agents, or otherwise un.der
the control or influence of the New
Haven company.
It is charged in the suit that in ac
quiring railroad, trolley and steam
ship lines necessary to a traffic mo
nopoly complicated and elusive meth
ods have been resorted to In order to
conceal the real character of the trans
actions.
The suit was filed by H. Snowden
Marshall, United States Attorney for
the Southern district of New York.
U bears the signatures of Attorney
General McReynolds; G. Carroll Todd,
assistant Attorney-General; T. W.
Gregory and Frank M. Swacker, spe
cial assistants in the New Haven case.

Revulsion of Feeling on Part of
Public and Press.
STATUE TO BE RESTORED
The Mexican Press Demanding Repara
tion For Destruction Of Prop
erty During Anti-American
Riots.
Mexico City. Following the order of
President Carbajal that the statue of
Washington be replaced on the pedes
tal from which It was torn during the
anti-American riots, a revulsion of
feeling toward the United States has
been experienced by Mexican citizens
and press alike. The belief that the
Americans will evacuate Vera Cruz
Just as soon as a duly elected Presi
dent 1b Installed grows every day.
Kindlier feeling toward Americans
Is being manifested on all sides. Where
last fall the American Club was storm
ed and nearly wrecked by Mexicans,
the Mexican press is coming forward
with demands that reparation in full
be made to all Americans who suf
fered. The newspapers are Insisting
that the person who took the arm of
the Washington statue return it at
once. The arm has been missing
since the statue was torn down.
Carbajal is in complete control of
the situation here. Government off!
clals charge reports that the city Is
about to fall before Zapata are being
circulated by a clique with headquar
ters In Washington, with a view to
obtaining intervention. Certain inter
ests that would profit by interven
tion are backing this clique, it is de
clared.
While some desultory exchanges of
shots have taken place In the edges
of the city, It Is believed there is no
danger of Zapata effecting an en
trance. The Government troops are
easily strong enough to hold the city
against any Zapatista attack. Carba
Jal is not in need of outside assistance.
The parties that have attacked the
Government outposts have been hut
mere bands and were repulsed with
out any trouble. The capital is
tranquil.
