The Mexican Ambassador and the State Department have reached an agreement to settle the long stand ing dispute regarding the ownership of the Chamizal tract of about 550 acres, forming part of the city of El Paso, Tex., on the basis of the pur chase of the land from Mexico by the United States. The tract, believed to be worth approximately 11,000,000, has been for many years a part of the city of El Paso, about six thousand inhabitants making their homes upon it. In 1894 Mexico first submitted a claim to this tract on the basis of its separation from Mexico by "avul sion," or a rapid cutting off, owing to a charge in the channel of the river. The boundary commission falling to agree, the matter was referred by treaty to another commission, which, June 15, 1011, rendered an opinion In effect dividing the territory in dis pute between the two countries. This held that the land between the middle of the bed of the Rio Grande as it ran in 1852 and the middle of the bed of the river as it existed be fore the flood of 18G-1 was in tho United States and the title to the remainder in Mexico. This decision brought forth a vig orous protest from the American commissioner, who held it would be impossible at present to locate the channel of 1864, and that the award was therefore "impossible of execu tion." Even the Mexican government realized that the decree of the com mission could not be carried out, and agreed finally to settle tho matter by direct negotiations with the United States government. These have Just terminated successfully, and it will now remain for the gov ernments of the two countries through their Congresses to ratify the agreement and for the United States to appropriate money to reim burse Mexico for the territory in question. EDITORS STAND BY TAFT. A committee of publishers repre senting 120 newspapers published in foreign languages, of which Frank L. Frugone is chairman, have issued a statement Indorsing tho candidacy of President Taft and condemning Woodrow Wilson. "President Taft," says tho state ment, "has shown himself to bo a friend to tho immigrant, while Woodrow Wilson has publicly con demned all Immigrants except Chi nese." Tho statement continues: President tfaft has not only discouraged tho enactment of laws for tho unreasonablo and unfair restriction of immigra tion, but on more- than one oc casion has conferred with repre sentatives of tho foreign lan guage press and with varlouB committees representing tho foreign born element of this country in regard to immigra tion problems. No better dem onstration of President Taft's friendly and just attltudo to ward foreign born citizens need bo looked for than his abroga tion of the Russian treaty. On tho other hand, theso foreign publishers quoto tho following ex tracts from Wilson's "History of tho American People": Now thoro camo multitudes of men of tho lowest class from tho south of Italy and men of the meaner sort out of Hungary and Poland, as If tho countries of the south of Europe wero disburdening themselves of the more sordid and hapless ele tlio Citizen Publishing Company. the postoffice, Honcsdalo, Pa.

Tho un likely fellows who camo in at tho Eastern ports were tolerat ed because they usurped no place but the very lowest In the scale of labor. Wnnflmw Wilson Is accused of viewing labor "with about the same interest that an anotomlst dissects a corpse, winie 1'resiueni ran is praised as a man full of sympathy for tho laborer. REPRESENTATIVE JONES REPLIES. Renresentatlvo Edward E. Jones of Susquehanna county, who is a candidate for re-election to the stato legislature, has been subjected to the quizzing ordeal of the iProgres sive State Republican organization It will be remembered that the state convention, after adopting an ultra nrocresslve platform, including the recall of judges and of judicial de cisions, directed that the Republi can candidates for the Assembly, who had already been nominated, should be interrogated as to their ac ceptance of that platform, their an swers to be in writing and to be niihllshnd in the local papers. Of rmirso the nurposo was to compel these candidates to subscribe to the radical doctrines of the platform on penalty of being marked for defeat hv tho state organization, lno cm 7m has already expressed its opinion of the extreme unfairness of this pro position. It is refreshing theretore tn And that candidate Jones, who is well and favorably known in Wayno county, and who is the father of the Jones Dirt Road bill, enacted by tho last legislature, does tnot proposo to bo cowed Into submission by these tactics. He replies that he is sivn Renubllcan. but re- rrok that tho Chicago convention d'd not agree upon a compromise candidate on whom tho party could have united with full assurance or success In November. As to the state platform he says: "I can endorse most of the policies set forth In the Harrlsburg platform but am not quite ready to accept the recall of Judges or of Judicial decisions. This may be a right policy but I have not yet been able to convince myself of it." As to the demand that candidates support certain .progressive legis lation proposed, Mr. Jones replies: "I have never yet pledged myself knowing the exact contents of that bill and neither would I care to do so now, for I must reserve tho right to myself to help frame such legisla tion in accordance with my own views." Mr. Jones Is exactly right. His reply Is clear and convincing. It is not such a reply as tho Progressive leaders of the organization in Penn sylvania want; but we predict that they will hesitate long before at tempting to discredit Mr. Jones In tho eyes of his constituents. His position will commend itself too forcibly to the common sense of the voters of Susquehanna county, and no effort that can bo put forth by tho ltra-Progressives will accom plish his defeat. With the kind of progressive Republicanism for which Mr. Jones stands The Citizen is in nearty accord, and we wish him abundant success in his campaign. Wo trust that other candidates for the legislature will have tho courage and clear-ralndedness to follow his example. CENTERVILLE. (opeclal to Tho Citizen.) Centervllle, July 31. Bridget E.

" Seventy-five Years in Banking," a booklet just published by the Hoticsdnlo Xatlonal bank, a history of the life of that institution, throws ninny lights on the banking business in Xorthcastern Pennsylvania for tho past three-quarters of a century. It tells In detail the growth of tho Honesdnlo National from a strug gling small town bank to one of tho wealthiest financial Institutions in this part of tho stato, and gives credit to tho men who mado that growth and success possible. Tho book was written in two periods Edwin F. Torrey, former cashier sot ting down the history of the bank from 1S3C to 188G and Lewis A. Howell, a Scranton man and present cashier, writing for the period from 1SSG to 1911. Mr. Torrey. a late director of the bank, tells in tho Fall and Winter of 1835 nnd 1830, after the project had been discussed for a long time, application was mado to tho state legislature for a charter, which was granted on March 18, 183G, with an authorized capital of Jioo.uuo, tne 2,000 shares to be auctioned at not less than their ?50 par value, no bidder to take more than twenty shares on one bid, the money to bo naid in cash at once, and the state to got a bonus of $5,000 nnd eight per cent, of all dividends declared. Tho stock was auctioned In Charles Forbes' hotel, and there were 195 purchasers of the stock. Tho bank began business Dec. 2G, 1836, in the little front room of the Dr. Charles R. Brady house, still standing. Richard L. Seely was president and John Neal, of tho Moyamensing bank of Philadelphia, was named cashier. Mr. Neal served as cashier until 1842 when he was succeeded by Stephen D. Ward. In April, 1855, tho directors voted to increase the stock to $150,000. Mr. Seely con tinued as president until his death in 1863 when he was succeeded by Zenas H. Russell. The book sets forth the war record of tho bank. On April 20, 1861, the institution gave ? 1,0 00 for the fam ilies of Wayne's soldiers. A year later $5,000 was subscribed to the war loan. In August, 1862, the bank forwarded $8,090 to bo paid to the state for the purpose of paying the wages of the soldiers. The bank was also a liberal subscriber to all the government loans. On Dec. 1, 1864, the bank was nationalized. The book sets forth the annual elec tions and changes In the director ate, the steady growth and prosperity until 1874 when Stephen D. Ward, cashier for thirty-two years, died. Mr. Ward was succeeded by Edwin F. Torrey, the writer of the book, whe was named cashier on Nov. 26, 1874. In the seventies, several of the original directors of the bank died and the hook contains tho reso lutions adopted on their deaths. Oil Jan. 10, 1878, the president, Zenas H. Russoll, resigned, owing to fall ing health and Coo E. Young was elected president, and Henry M. Seely, vice-president. Four months later, on May 13, 1878, Mr. Russell died. On July 10, 1884, tho bank de clared Its fortieth semi-annual divid end of five per cent, and the state ment of the cashier showed that in its lifetime the bank had paid $600,000 in dividends and had a surplus of $135,650.49, had paid $102,864.13 In state and national taxes, milking a total net earnings of $838,513.62. In 1884 the charter of tho bank expired by limitation and was extended until 1904. Closing his part of the book Mr. Torroy points with pride to tho record of tho preceding twelve years in which the bank's losses amounted to only $150, or a llttlo more than an aver ago of $1 a month. Mr. Howell takes up tho writing of tho book from 1886 on, his writ ing covering a quarter of a century. As in Mr. Torrey's work, success marked the pathway of the bank. It was in 1889 that the first sad fact is recorded, the death of President Young, which occurred on March 23 that year In Georgia. On May 20. 1889, John Torrey was elected to he presidency. On April ,10, 1890, Homer Greene was elected to the board of directors to succeed E'ias Stanton, who died a month previous ly. Mr. Howell relates how In Janu ary, 1891, the directors of the bank decided to close tho Institution at noon Saturdays. The death of the president, John Torroy, occurred in March, 1894. Mr. Torrey had been a member of tho bank's first board and his wisdom had much to do with tho success of the Institution. On March 15, Henry Z. Russell, now president of tho bank, was elected to tho presidency, and on September 24 in the same year a committee Was named to look into the matter of erecting a new banking house. On Fob. 2, 1895, It was decided to erect a bank building at Main and Eighth streets, tho present home of the bank, a handsome structure of For est City stone. On May 28, 1896, tho bank began business In tho new home, and tho first depositor was the son of tho president, Zenas Russell. On Jan. 11, 1892, the capital stock of tho bank was reduced from $300, 000 to $150,000. On Juno 11, 1911, Mr. Torroy, resigned tho cashlershlp, and Lewis A. Howell, of Scranton, assistant treasurer of tho Lacka wanna Trust and Safe Deposit com pany, was named In his place, begin ning his duties Xov. 15, 1911. Mr. Torroy had been In the servico of tho bank for thirty-seven years. Concluding his part of tho book let, Mr. Howoll shows that tho bank in its career had paid dividends of $1,982,000, had deposits In 1911 of $1,421, 317.G2 and a bond account of $1,234,017.91, tho deposits being moro than flvo times as great as in 1886.

Tho farmers I and summer cottagers in and around Maplowood wero panic strlck-j en Saturday evening when tho nows was (lashed back and forth over tho 1 telephone that a panther had been seen prowling around tho hills. Mrs. J Llda Grlfiln, who, with a companion, was driving from the Erie station at Mnplcwood to her home, about three i miles awny, was tho first to discover ' tho presence of tho beast. I Coming out luto a moonlit stretch j of road on the farm of George Oven, about two miles from tho station, Mrs. Griffin was shocked by tho sight of the cat stnlklng back and forth on top of a small knoll not two hun dred yards away. On seeing tho horse nnd carrlago the boast emitted a blood-curdling scream and disap peared Into tho woods. Mrs. Grif fin lnshed her horse Into a gallop and on reaching tho farmhouso call ed Charles Treslcr, station agent at Maplewood, asking him to warn the people at the station. Had tho situ ation been not really dangerous It would have been ludicrous to sco tho haste with which the pcoplo at tho station scnttered back through tho woods to their homes. Horses that had not gone faster than a walk In twelve years, feeling the cxcltoment, broke Into a run, and cyclists could not be seen for dust. At that, they did not have much on tho speed of the pedestrians. It Is safe to say that never before havo tho barns and houses been so closely barricaded as they wero that night, and many a person sat up through the dim watches of the night with his gun loaded so heavily that IS thhaovocoSndtry r. .--i i, if fired it would the panther In clearing of human beings. Several times dur lng tho night and in various .parts of that section tho animal's scream was heard. That it was a panther there is no question. Mrs. Griffin has lived in that part of tho stato for a great many years, and she says she re members perfectly -when the wild cat and panther was not uncommon there. She says she is posltivo that it was a panther and not a wild cat. SEELYVILLE. (Special to Tho Citizen.) Seelyvllle, Aug. 1. Mr. and Mrs. George Schott spent Sunday at Lackawaxen.
