JOHN BASSETT MOORE'S IDEA
.Author Hat Beet Grasp Of Inter
national Affairs Of Any Man
in Departm
; Washington, July 24. Opinion in
Washington is rapidly growing to
wards the positive conclusion that in
the new Nicaraguan proposal, sub
K mttted by the State Department and
the President to the foreign affairs
committee of the Senate, the Wilson
administration has made the most sig-
) nificant advance In the foreign policy
of the United States since the enuneia-
tion of the Monroe doctrine more than
ninety years ago.
The proposal is simply that the
United States enter into a treaty with
Nicaragua assuming practically the
' same rights and obligations with re
I gard to the smaller country as now
give us a virtual protectorate over
the Republic of Cuba and that in
addition the United States pay Nica
ragua $3,000,000 in return for a naval
base and for exclusive right to con
struct an inter-oceanic canal through
Nicaraguan territority.
In the opinion, of the Department of
i State and the President, the incorpor
ation in the Nicaraguan treaty of a
clause similar to the Piatt amendment
to the constitution of Cuba, whereby
tins country has supervision of the
dealings of Cuba with foreign nations
jnd possesses the veto power as to as
sumption of debts by the Cuban gov
ernment would clinch the proposition
and establish a precedent altogether
desirable in the development of our
relations with Central American coun
tries in general.
While the names of the President and
the Secretary of State are the ones
officially used in announcing the new
policy, and while it will doubtless go
down in history identified with Presi
dent Wilson just -.as the Monroe doe'
dent Monroe, is the impression P'X JTi

POSTOFFICE DEPARTMENT OF
FICIALS SANGUINE OF FU
TURE OF SERVICE.
During the past few days the force
of linemen employed by the local branch
of the Home Telephone and Telegraph
Company have been busily engaged in
repairing the damage done to their
lines in this section by the storm
which prevailed last Saturday after
noon and night.
According to a statement made
yesterday by Thomas Davis, manager
of the local office of the company,
the lightning did nore damage to the
telephone wires at that time than at
any previous time during the past tea
years.
Numbers of wires were burned In two
and at points the poles were torn down
The high wind also blew downs number
of trees across the wires. Practically
alt the trouble has now been located
and remedied.
Washington, July 25. Following
Postmaster General Burleson's an
nouncemrnt of his proposed change in
the size of the parcel post package
limit from eleven to twenty pounds,
Post Office Department officials have
declared that the parrel post is not
only of great benefit to the people, but
a financial success.
"It was predicted that during the
first year of this new service 300,000
000 pieces would be handled. From
the data we have in hand it is safe to
estimate that we will handle twice
that many," said one official.
The Post Office Department is not
going to stop at a package limit of
twenty pounds, but will go on to one
hundred pounds as soon as it can take
care of the business. The limit would
have been made twenty-five instead of
twenty pounds this time had it not
been for the fact that the last Ad
m nistration stocked up the depart
ra nt with twenty-pound scales, and
the cost of replacing them with larger
ones would have been too great an
item to ignore at this time. Here
after when scales are purchased the
limit of weight will be one hundred
instead of twenty pounds.
It has been found from investigation
by the Post Office Department that
the average weight of the haul of the
rural delivery wagon is twenty-four
pounds and that the average capacity
of the wagon is 400 pounds. There
fore, it is asserted, there is much room
for increased service to the people,
and it will be developed in time.
The records of the parcel post show
that the average package carried
since the system became operative has
weighed one pound. The service, there
fore, has not cut into the express busi
ness very much, except on small pack
ages. Increasing the limit of the pack
age, it is believed, will make a big
difference in the business. Merchants
and post-office patrons generally have
been showering the Postmaster-General
with telegrams commending him for
his promised improvement of the parcel
post system by permitting a -larger
package.

Washington, July 24. The Huerta
Government in Mexico is on the verge
of collapse, The same disaster that
overtook the reigns of Diaz and Madero
is now rapidly approaching the pro
visional government of the new dic
tator. It is only a question of compara
tively few days when Huerta will have
to get steam up on the special train
in waiting for flight of deposed Presi
dents and take the Vera Cruz route
for Paris.
There is speculation, however, whe
ther Huerta will run as Diaz or stand
defiantly as did Madero until killed.
Advices received in Washington and
credited in the highest circles give
the news that the Huerta government
cannot last long. The conditions
of chaos and anarchy existing in un
fortunate Mexico are centering rapidly
toward another catastrophe.
What will happen when Huerta falls
no one ventures to predict. It may
mean a period of even worse confusion
if such a thing is possible. There
seems to be no specially strong man
to seize the reins of government in
Mexico City. No one individual
stands out as leader of united opposi
tion to the dictator.
Huerta's fall, when it does come.
will be the result of not one revolution.
but of dozens of revolutions scattered
throughout the country.
Quebec, July 24. Juan Pedro de

was to induce Canadian manufacturers
and merchants to go into the markets
of Mexico.

It was stated that railroad officials
had asked the State Department at
Washington to demand Hind's release.
Eagle Pass. Texas, July 24. An
unconfimed report that Torreon had
been captured by Constitutionalists
was received here. Constitutionalist
officials at their headquarters, Piedras
Negras, refused to confirm the report.
The last definite advices received here
from the Constitutional lines were that
Governor Carransa, on July 20, was in
the neighborhood of Torreon to take
personal charge of an expected attack
on that place. Jesus Carranza, a relative
of the Governor, declared last Sunday
the Constitutionalists had Torreon
"completely surrounded with 8,000
to 10,000 men."
The only means of communication
with the Constitutionalist front is by
courier.
The Torreon garrison consisted of
more than 3,000 officers and men, as
well as a number of cannon, and if the
town has capitulated it is assured
here that a portion of the garrison
must have revolted and aided the rebels.
Binghamton, N. Y., July 25.
James P. Whiskeman, engineering ex
pert in the employ of the Wagner
Smith State factory investigation
commission, made a thorough exam
ination of the site of the destroyed
Binghamton Clothing Company yes
terday. Mr. Whiskeman is the expert
who was retained by District Attor
ney Whitman, of New York, to make
an investigation of the Triangle Waist
company's fire.
Mr. Whiskeman declared today that
there was more criminal carelessness
in the Binghamton fire than he found
in the Triangle disaster. His investi
gation, he said, revealed the fact
that a stiarway running through the
clothing company's building had been
removed, to make more room for manu
facturing. "It is another case," said
Whiskeman, "of dollars and cents
being placed above human life.
"To permit eighty girls to be em
ployed on the fourth floor of that
building with only one stairway,
which might be cut off at any time
in the event of fire, was inherently
dangerous," added Whiskeman.
Mr. Whiskeman s attention was
called to a statement made by Wil
liam C. Rogers, the present acting
commissioner of labor, ia which he
attempted to place responsibility for
the disaster on the fact that the
State senate had failed to conform the
governor's candidate for State labor
commissioner, and that Mr. Rogers,
as acting commissioner, lacked cer
tain authority essential for the proper
enforcement of factory laws.
"There is ao possible connection,'
he said, "between the catastrophe
snd the present condition in the de
partment ef labor. The Binghamton
factory wxs thoroughly inspected and
approved by the factory inspector as
recently as three weeks ago, and had
there been a commissioner of labor
it would not have changed the situ
ation in the slightest degree." 1
The inquest was conducted In the
nature of John Doe proceedings, and
witnesses were sworn in "in the case
of the death of Cassie Fuller and
others."
. . L . . .
Most oi i ne morning was taxen up
in securing a definite idea of the
topography of the burned building in
reference to the situation of stair-;
ways, partitions and modes of egress.
The witnesses were all employe vf
the Binghamton clothing company,
and they told of the discovery of the
fire on a shelf in the stairway wall,
and of its rapid spread through the
building. There was no contradictory
testimony at either the morning or
afternoon session of the inquest. Each
witness testified that smoking had
been strictly prohibited in the fac
tory, and that they had never seen
anyone smoking in the building, but
no one could account, for the origin
of the fire.
The most important fact brought
out was that the four-story factory
was equipped with inadequate and
meagre facilities for fighting fires
The fire drills were conducted by sig
nals from the fire bell, each tap of
the gong being a signal for a differ
eat maneouver on the part of the
employes. When the fire alarm was
sounded in the factory on Tuesday af
ternoon the strokes of the gong came
in rapid succession, and the em
ployes became greatly confused, and
generally disorganized.
No testimony has thus far been ad
ducrd to support the theory first ad
a need that the girls, Instead of heed
ing the fire alarm, went without chang
ing their clothes and preening them
selves for appearance on the street.
The place of origin of the fire wasj
definitely fixed on a ledge in the staiK
way between first and second floors,'
where a quantity of "robe cloth" can
vas, and old books were stored. It
was also definitely brought out that
in about five minutes after the first
alarm of fire was given the entire
building was a mass of seething flame.
The exact cause of the fire, however,
was not fixed. 7
Miss Alice Ward, who is visiting
friends in Greenville, was a member
of a party who went on a delightful
moonlight sail down the river one night
last week, the sail being given compli
mentary to Miss Ward and other young
