CITY LIGHT PLANT REPORT-FAVORABLE Net Earnings for August More Than $4,594, Superintendent Shows.
,The net earnings of the city light plant for the month of August were $4,594.18, according to the report of Superintendent Johnson. The report is a very favorable one but at a glance It seems to be the reverse, as the expenditures are double the cash receipts. This is owing to the fact that payments on parts of the machinery and the new building are being paid. Of the $12,255.80 spent during the month, only $2,041.18 was for operating expenses. The electricity consumed by the city during the month would have cost the municipality $1,390.06, had the new ruling been in effect. When the city pays for its light, in accordance with the ordinance taking effect January next, the receipts of the plant will be increased $15,000 annually. August Report. The August report follows: ' Income Account. Amount due from city for lighting $ 1,390.06 Received from Commercial , lighting 4,812.65 Received from commercial power earnings 1,685.37 Total operating income ..$ 7,888.08 Non-operating income .... 137.34 Total income $ 8,025.42 Disbursements.

Y. "I was taken with diarrhoea followed by an attack of acute indigestion. Power of the pen fails to portray the agonies I endured. My friends expected me to die as I had been unable to get relief for so long a time. This remedy wenf directly t othe seat of the trouble and cured me in a few hours' time." For Bale by all dealers.

The first business session was scheduled for Thursday morning. A fight was expected when the place for the next encampment was to be voted upon. Mobile. Houston and Detroit have bid for the honor of entertaining the veterans next year. FILE PARTITION SUIT To partition the property of the late Eli Turner, who died last February, a suit was filed this morning which asks that the property be sold and the interests of the heirs set aside. The real estate owned by the decedent is valued at approximately $S,000 in three tracts of land, one of 46 acres, another 29 acres and the third composed of 30 acres. All of the tracts are in Wayne county and so adjoin one another that they are operated as one farm. The children are bequeathed all of the property, according to the will made by him, though Herman Turner, Maude Williams, Herbert Turner and Herschel Turner, grandchildren of Eli Turner, are each entitled to an undivided one-twentieth of the estate, it is alleged. Frank Turner, administrator of the estate, alleges that the personal property of the estate is insufficient to defray the just debts of the decedent.

ISo Cause for Alarm of Americans Safety
No cause for alarm for the safety of Americans residing in Mexico near the border need be felt, according to a letter received by Col. J. F. Miller from his grandson, W. W. Grubbs, who is in the lumber business at Madera, near the Mexican border. While a number of Americans have been arrested in the interior, Grubbs thinks that there is at present but little danger for Americans who live away from the capital. Commenting on this case and others, a prominent resident acquainted with conditions in Mexico said today: "Come home, instructed President Wilson to about 40,000 Americans in Mexico a few weeks ago. About 30,000 persons at once left the land of sands and Bombreros for the States. " 'No,' replied 10,000 odd Americans with stubbornness in their makeup and their money in Mexican investments, 'we won't come home until you tell us why we should.' " "And there you have one of the oddest little problems that a nation ever had to face. It is a problem that causes President Wrilson to think his brow into worried furrows and take frequent rests on the golf links. It is a problem that causes Secretary of State Bryan to look back on old political battles as child's play and go out on the Chautauqua circuit for relaxation and rest. "Any government official, any army or naval officer, any foreign diplomat News of the EXERCISE CARE AT GRADE CROSSINGS A special appeal for the exercise of care by pedestrians and drivers of vehicles at grade crossings, has been printed in bulletin form and posted at the Union station. The bulletin points out the immense expense involved in the removal of all grade crossings on the Pennsylvania lines. On the 11,000 miles of road comprising the Pennsylvania system, the bulletin says there are 13,027 crossings at grade. The average cost for the removal of such a crossing is $50,000, making the expenditure $600,000,000 necessary to accomplish the elimination of all such crossings. Since 1902 the various companies of the system have made expenditures amounting to $66,641,294 in improvements and elimination of 1,052 grade crossings. "A little care and a momentary stop may mean the saving of a human life," the bulletin reads. DIRECTORS REVIEW WORK AT LAKE The directors of the Morton Lake and Park company will meet at 5 o'clock this afternoon to review the work that has been done during the last two weeks, and to complete arrangements for the erection of a dancing pavilion. The hull of the motor boat, which will be operated on the lake is almost completed. It is sixty feet long and rourteen feet wide. DEFER ACTION No definite action followed the conference of Secretary Jordan of the Commercial club with O. M. Packard and T. H. Hazelrigg, promoters, at Indianapolis yesterday. Arrangements are being made to send Mr. Hazelrigg to Europe to negotiate with foreign capital to finance the Richmond & Eastern Traction line.

1024 MAIN STREET McGuire Building National Woolen Mills Stores:
and in short any one who has given the subject serious thought and is competent to speak will tell you that those 10,000 contrary Americans who have elected to stay in Mexico in the face of the Presidential request have
furnished the United States with a I problem so baffling as to discourage I etforts of its solution. "And here, is the reason why. As , long as Americans remain in Mexico ' the United States practically is powerless to take any action that might j invite Mexico to war or even cause a banditti outbreak. As long as there ' are Americans on Mexican soil, the 1 hands of the United States are tied, j "Huerta may flaunt sassy diplomatic ! words in the face of President Wilson, i and cause his minister Gamboa, to frame caustic notes. Huerta may mobilize the Mexican army, arouse anI tl-American feeling and even go farthj er than that. Mexican outlaws may j rob and murder Americans, pillage I foreign owned plantations, outrage for eign women. But what can the United States do when its first warlike act will be used for a signal for a Mexican uprisivg that might end in the annihilation of every American within the boundaries of the southern republic? Surely congress cannot declare war against Mexico when such a declaration would be nothing more or less than a death warrant for every American man, woman or child on Mexican soil.'.' Railroads ON RAILROAD ROW Bert Ellis and Homer Dilks, formerly night switchmen, have been changed to day duty, because of the installation of an extra switch engine. Al Krlete, night yard clerk, is off duty on account of sickness. His place is being filled by H. K. Hart. Mike Toohy, yard master, returns from his vacation tomorrow. Roy Bryce, yard conductor, leaves tomorrow for Laurel, Ind., where he will attend a home coming. CLEARING DEBRIS The section gang was at work yesterday clearing up all trash from the depot and yards in expectation of the visit from the general manager.

SUBMITS GARBAGE PLANS TO OFFICIALS Discussion of the garbage question i occupied the time of members of thej Doara or worKs, in special session tnis afternoon. The board heard the proposition of R. E. Roberts, whereby he would furnish a ten-gallon airtight gar- . .umuj ,i "O HI 1 1 for ten cents per week, the cost to I iuuiuub iue uauimg or me garoage. This would bring Roberts $10,000 annually.

INJURED COOK BETTER!
Wreck Victim Improves Over Condition Yesterday. Ellis Gibson, the second cook on the St. Louis Flyer, which was wrecked last week near ney s station, shows some improvement today over his condition yesterday, when the attending physicians had about abandoned hopes of his recovery. His condition, however, is still very serious. H W. Ewing. the steward of the; dining car, who was badly injured in J the wreck, has been removed to his home in Columbus, Ohio. It is believed his recovery will be complete. TOWNSHIP KEEPS SEVERAL FAMILIES Destitute and poverty stricken, sev enty-seven families are now wards of the township and are being supplied j with necessities of life. j This number has been cared for dur- ' ing the past three mouths and all ; cases are worthy in the opinion of Trustee Howarth. During the summer months the majority of cases of poor are reduced to a minimum though this summer approximately $800 has been spent. The families are allowed a dollar's worth of groceries at any store after obtaining an order from Trustee Howarth. According to Mr. Howarth there is practically no way of ascertaining how the poor people of the city are faring at this time and the number of charges may be greatly increased after winter weather arrives. The first appeal for fuel was made to the trustee this morning. A hard : luck story of being ill and living in a damp house was related to the trustee although nothing could be done for the applicant because of the early season. No coal will be given until cold weather starts. Many persons who can afford to do without heat have not started their fires according to the trustee. The new necessity list prepared by the trustee is a6 follows: Flour, meal, lard, bacon, sugar, coffee, tea, baking powder, soda, salt, crackers, hominy, rice, potatoes, coal oil, bread and soap. PASSENGERS UNHURT Three Sleeping Cars Tumble Down Embankment. (National News Association) COATESVILLE, Pa., Sept. 16 More than 100 passengers on the Pennsylvania railroad's Pittsburg Flyer narrowly escaped death or seri-1 ous injury today when three sleeping cars left the track, went down an embankment and one of them turned over. A broken rail caused the wreck. The engine and live coaches had passed over the break safely. WORK PRISONERS ON COUNTRY ROADS Prisoners serving sentences for petty offenses, for the first time in many years, were worked on the highways of the county yesterday. Ten men were placed on the National road and ordered to clean the road of trash and rake all stones along the highway into adjacent fields. The work was done to the satisfaction of the county commissioners. Commissioner Beeson ordered Caretaker Rice Miller to take the prisoners on the road and see that they were given a thorough workout. Five rakes and five shovels were provided and the men were put to work. All declared they were glad to have an opportunity to get exreise.

REQUEST OF THAW
GRANTEEMBY COURT Suspension of Federal Writ of Habeas Corpus is Allowed. LITTLETON. N. H. Sept. 16 Judge AKlrich today granted Harry Thaw s request for the suspension of the federal writ of habeas corpus with the right of either side to apply anain at any time. Thaw was committed to the joint Custody of United States Marshal Nute and Sheriff Drew, with the same privileges he has had in the past. The court declared that the New Hampshiro statutes prevented him from holding a hearing upon the writ while the governor's extradition inquiry was pending The right Sf Thaw, the court held, would not in any way be menaced by the suspension of the writ. Harry's face was a study when Judge Aldrieh rendered his decision. A smile spread over his features a nil he beamed uon his attorneys and nodded approvingly in the direction of the reporters. Judge Aldrieh, in a long speech, said he felt that the claim of bad faith on the part of Thaw's lawyers would better not be entered into. Thaw's trip from Colebrooke to IJttleton resembled a triumphal passage. Crowds gathered at all the way stations and cheered the- fugitive CITY STATISTICS ' Marriage Licenses.
