"I very much rogret to return this

One of the most powerful of the

n year, n very largo sum fpr those
days. The ponds built then were 24

The surfaces were const ructed of bro

what road btillders call a telford foun

ROSEBUSH LAMP POPULAR
Latest Boudoir Furnishing Is of a De

Merit of Novelty.
The latest absurdity In boudoir fur
nishing is the rosebush lamp, which
is so bizarre and novel thnt orie may
pay 40 good dollars for It and be In
the very van of the mode—lf one fan
cies such things. The base of the lamp
Is hand-carved and painted In old Ivory
to represent nn earthen flower pot.
From this rises the metal standard of
green metal with sprouting green leaves
and red rosebud*—all cleverly Inter
twined with tho central stem or stand
ard. Presumably the lamp shade of
pink silk represents the full-blown rose
at the top of the long stem; but since
the "rose" is twice the size 'of the flow
erpot below, the Imagination must
strain. Itself somewhat to accept the
effect. The whole lamp stands 1.0
Inches high and Is Intended for a bou

TAIN PROVISIONS PROPOBED
IN NEW CONSTITUTION.
Objects Because Chief Executive May
Expel Anyone Without Recourse to
Appeal.—Not In Accord With Other
Nations.
Mexico City.—Secretary of State
Lansing has sent to Oeneral Carranza,
through Charles 11. l'arker, American
Charge d'Affairs here, a communica
tion In regard to certain provisions
which It had been proposed to Include
In'the new Mexican constitution. Tha
communication calls attention to ar
ticles vesting the Executive with pow
er to expropriate property without
Judicial recourse, and also the article
providing that civil commercial com
panies cannot own properties ot a
greater area than Is necessary to ac
complish the purpose for which they
are formed, and placing the power to
determine what area is necessary In
the hands of the Executive.
The communication says that If th
latter provision were made retroac
tive, It might be confiscatory as no
provision is made for compensation.
Attention In called to the article pro
viding that there be no exemption
from taxation. If this were given a
retroactive effect, says Secretary Lan
sing's communication, It would impair
contracts of many foreign corporations
now operating under agreements pro
viding periods of exemption by the
federal or state governments.
Regarding article 33, dealing with
the expulsion of obnoxious foreigners,
objection is made because the pro
posed article permits the executive to
expel anyone, without recourse to ap
peal, whose presenco Is deemed inad
visable by him. The letter states that
this Is not In accord with the usual
practice of nations that cause be
clearly shown. ' "

PROVISION TO FORBID BTRIKEB
BTRICKEN OUT BY SENATE.
Committee Again Defeats Effort to
Incorporate Suggestion By >
President.
Washington.—For the second time
slnce.lt began consideration ot rail
road legislation to supplement the
Adamson law, the Senate Interstate
Commerce Committee declined to ap
prove a provision suggested by Pres
ident Wilson forbidding a strike or
lockout pending Investigation of a
labor controversy. -
The vote was ten to live, with three
Democrats, Senators Underwod,
Smith, of South Carolina, and Thomp
son, voting with the Republicans In
the negative.
On the first vote 10 days ago, the
committee turned down this provis
ion seven to three. A further effort
may be made to win the committee's
approval,) and If this Is unsuccessful,
a fight will be made for the provision
on the floor of the Senate.
Chairman Newlands said the com
mittee was still at work on an Inves
tigation bill with this feature elimi
nated, and was confident that approval
would be given a -measure that would
prevent obstructions to Interstate
commerce without actually forbidding
a strike.
The action of the committee cane
shortly after representatives of the
four railroad brotherhoods informed
President Wilson that they desired to
suggest changes to the bills now pend
ing. The President asked that the
suggestions be submitted in writing,
and promised to give them careful
consideration. The brotherhood lead
ers declined to make public their pro
posals at this time, but It Is under
stood they follow the lines Indicated
In hearings before the House Com
mittee and provide for a permanent

FINAL. CHAPTER IN THE OCCUPA
AION OF MEXICO BEING
-WRITTEN.
BAKER ISSUES STATEMENT
Border Militia Question and Bendlng
of Fletcher to Mexico Capital Now
Hold IntereaVTvVW* and Carranca
Are Busy.
Washington.—The final act In ' the
entrance into Mexico of 12,000 Amer
ican soldiers as a result of the Villa
massacre of 17 Americans at Colum
bus, N. LI., on March 9, 1916, was writ
ten with official announcement by the
War Department that General Persh
ing had been ordered, and actually
had started to bring his troops back
to the United States,
Secretary Baker issued the follow
ing announcement:
"General Pershing has been ordered
to bring his troops cut of Mexico. The
movement is to be an Immediate one,
and probably Is already under -way.
Later advices to the department said
that the troops already had begun the
evacuation of Colonia Dublan, 110
.miles from the border, where they
had been concentrating during the
past few weeks. The last American
soldier Is expected to rocross the bor
der In about a week."
No official information is at hand as
to whether Villa or Carranza troops
will occupy the territory left vacant
by the Americans, but the belief is
strong here that the bandit, who 1*
credited with, at least, 8,000 well-arm
ed men who la now, at least, four
times as strong as when the American
troops went across the border, will
make a desperate effort to take the
territory, particularly for lta moral
effect. The two other phases of the
Mexican problem on which Interest
centers now, are the disposition of the
more than 60,000 militia still on ths
border, and the sending of Ambassa
dor Fletcher to his post at Mexico
City. Officials say no decision has
been reached in either of these ques
tions, but that both are dependent on
the turn of events in Mexico. v
BENATORB WORK OVERTIME
TO CLEAN UP MUCH WORK.
Less Than Thirty Days to Bolve Con-
Jested Legislation.
Washington.—With less than 30
working days remaining In the Ufa of
the Sixty-Fourth Congress, the Demo
cratic Steering Committ'ee of the Ben
ate decided to hold dally sessions of
the Senate from 11 o'clock in the
morning until 10 o'clock at night, be
ginning Thursday, February 1.
Overtime exertions were determined
upon as the first move In an effort to
solve the congested legislation situa*
tlon, the decision being to drive away
as hard and fast as possible on es
sential appropriations and the revenue
bill, and to undertake the big general
Administration measures one by one
as time permits. Whether any of the
Administration bills over which there
Is so much dispute could be passed,
none of the Democratic leaders would
predict.
The general understanding is that
the railroad labor bills will be consid
ered as soon as the India appropria
tion bill Is out of the way, provided
the Interstate Commerce Committee
does not ultimately decide to await
action on this matter is he House. In
view of the fact that Representative
Admason is preparing to rush a sep
arate bill on the subject through the
House, the Senate committee may
decide to wait. In that case, the cor
rupt proctlce bill or the mineral land
leasing measure may be given a try
out.

GOOD BUILDING FOR PIGEONS
It Costs From $1.25 to $1.75 Per Pair
for Construction of Pen, Including
Fittings.
A gable roof building 10 to 15 feet
wide, 6 feet from the floor to the eaves,
and 8 to 9 feet to the ridge makes a
good pigeon house. A pen Bby 9 feet
will accommodate 25 pairs of pigeons,
while 40 pairs may be kept in a pen
8 by 13 feet. The necessary floor space
to allow per pair varies from 2% to 3
square feet, according to the size of the
pen, as a pair* of birds requires less
floor space In large than In small pens.
From 20 to 75 pairs of pigeons may be
kept to advantage in each pen. It costs
from $1.25 to $1.75 a pair to construct
pigeon houses, Including interior fit
tings and a small outside pen or fly
way.
Fittings should be as simple as pos
sible and easy to clean. Two nest
boxes should be provided for each pair
of pigeons, and there should be some
extra nests. The nest boxes are usual
ly about 12 Inches square, yet some
breeders prefer this width and height

or orange crates may be used for nests,
but they are difficult to keep clean and
less desirable than nests made with
one-Inch boards. A good method of
construction Is to use lumber 12 Inches
wide for the floor of the nests, arrang
ing each floor so that It will slide on
cleats and can be easily removed and
cleaned. The nests are usually built In
tiers against the rear wall of the pen,
extending from the floor to 7 or 8 feet
high, but they may also be placed on
the aide walls. All partitions should
be solid to the top of the nests, but it
is advisable to use wire netting above
the nests for ventilation.
