TWO DELEGATES ARE NAMED BY WILSON - (Continued from First Page.) sign any agreement ur treaty ever.” what- ~“Authority Not Heal. Many prominent Mexicans however, are not inclined to regard this broad authority as real. Others believe that Huerta has instructed the commissioners to place no insur- mountable objections to an amicable adjustment of the difficulties with the United States, believing that the fail- ure of the negotiations might result in pushing American intervention, which they feel would not unite fac- tions, but force Huerta to fight alone. Continue Bitter Attacks. Mexico City newspapers continue to make bitter attacks on the United States. Alleged copies of the Ameri- can articles of war are being pub- lished in the capital to inflame the public. They represent American military practices as cruel. The news- papers of the capitai aiso are still sisting that the United States is v lating to the armistice, this time m- plaining that the caarter of war transports by the war cepartment is a direct violation. Four schools opened here today ‘with native instructors and the same machinery as before American occu- pation. If this experiment is success- ful, General Funston plans to re-es- tablish the entire school system of the city. This plan is in line with his policy to gradually restore all local institutions under Mexican law. Outpost Lines Tightened. The recent trouble caused by Amer- cans venturing into Mexico City has resulted in tightening all outpost iines. Themilitary auithorities are determined not to be embarrassed because of the A'mericans venturing into dangerous territory, and only thosec having ur- gent business will be permitted to pass from the city into the interior. No obstacle however, will be placed in the way of Mexicans wishing to travel either in or out of Vera Cruz. New Life Apparent. The city is humming with new life and business is booming with the ex- ception of distributions into the in- terior, General Funston is encour- aging all activities, offering transpor- tation to the interior, but merchants inland so far have not availed them- selves of the opportunities offered. Clean-Up Day. Under Red Cross officials Vera Cruz is celebrating a continuous mu- nicipal clean-up day. Every _street, alley and vacant lot is being cleared of rubbish and hundreds ®of native laborers are busy washing down streets and carting! away refuse. Restoration of the electric street lamps shot away during the fighting is about completed. here, TARK & CO. ATTACH. George Sperry’s Charcoal Company Falls Victim to Clever Ruse, Constable George A. Stark, assisted his son D. D, Stark, a small attachment against George Sperry, of the New Britain Charcoal comgpany, this afternoon. The articles by placed { attached consist of a roll top desk, a | table and « chair, all of which were removed from the building in Com- mercial street through the window. When the constable and his assis- tant came swooping down upon the establishment they used much strat- egy. As the minion of the law en- tered the front door his assistant, like a true gumshoe artist, sneaked to the corner of the building where he could get a clear view of the back door in order that the villain might not escape. These measures were unnecessary, ever, for Mr. Sperry was not pres- cnt. - The = articles «were removed tvithout any disturbance on the part of the owners. how- precautionary | ; | Uneda Biscuit A crisp, clean, nutri- tious food.

The purity of her voice, employed in many tongues, had delighted hundreds of thousands ince the day, forty vears ago, she first appeared in public as soprano soloist at Grace church in Boston. Nordica nd Kames—although the Jatter was born of American parents in far off China—were of old New IEngland stock, both claimed by the state of Maine, and they made up a notable American contribution to the operatic world.

May Flowers. (Cleveland Plain Dealer.) ¢ and flowers; here are twe which happily combine; oné Lnngs a thought of the other, And yet May hereabouts is somes what of a transition month. The woodland blossoms which are distine- tively the flowers of spring are April rather than of May. Already the hepaticas have vanished and the bloodroot. Dientra, dentaria, add tongue, spring beauty and anemo may still be found, but they are n the characteristic flowers of M They are April's left-overs. These earlier flowers are wlthofl exception dainty and charming. Thi are the spring blossoms which hav for countless years moved poets a poetasters to the scratching of maj quills and the expenditure of infini ink. No one has sung of the charact istic flowers of May. They do n flcral pioneers. Yet, in their w they are almost as beautiful. Just now the characteristic rnrfli fiowers are Solomon’s seal, the fa Solomon’s ~ seal, jack-in-the-pul maianthemum canadense gnd bellwort All these belong exclusively to May.

Costly Junk, (Cleveland Plain Dealer.) One thousand tons of useless prin ed matter is said to be stored away certain recesses of the national caps itol, It cost the government—the taxs, payers from sea to =ea—many thous sands of dollars, It will bring worth as waste paper. The house committee: on printing’ proposes to investigate this old abuse which is almost as familiar as the pork in a river and harbors bill. 1V will be questioned whether a coms mittee has at last been organized with' the courage required to tackle lh" abuse and put an end to it. As long as congress persists in printing by thousands reports which will be demanded by hundreds at the most the capitol rubbish pile will cons tinue to accumulate. In six years, it is stated, 6,050,000 coples of reports and pamphlets have been added to t wasteful collection. No one calls for, them; if they are mailed, no one reads them, Vanity or sheer carelessness of, public funds inspires this constant overproduction of useless documente, It is not a big issue, of course. Coma pared with some wastes of governmeng patent to all observers, the saving ta be made by curtailing the people's printing bill would probably be smallt But the leak is assuredly worth stop- ping.
