WASHINGTON, Sept. 27—Eliseo Ar-1
redondo, ambassador-designate f
Mrxlco to the United States,. Is now on
his way to Mexico City. He is expected
by personal conferences to give Gener-
al Carranza a clearer understanding of
the American view of the differences
between the two countries and State
Department officials here hope he will
be able to convince Carranza of the nec-
essity of consenting to the fu]J consid-
eration of all the Issues by the Mexi-
can-American ^oint commission.
Arrendondo left yesterday after ex-
plaining to Secretary of State Lansing
and other officials that General Carrair-
za had requested his presence in Mexico
City.
General Carranza has shown plainly
that he Is not in accord with the Amer-
ican i«lea of the work undertaken by
the Commission at New London and of-
ficials here are puzzled by Carranza’s
recent note to the governors of Mexican
states that the Commission would dis-
cuss nothing but the withdrawal of the
American troops from Mexico.

The whole front of the attack from

vision of American neutrality laws with
a view to discouraging Anyricans from

deal more effectively with rebels and

laws made it an offense for an American
citizen to participate in any way In a

AUSTIN, Sept. 27.—A resolution was j
adopted by the State Board of Health

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.—The general
strike of labor unions in sympthy with
tlu* striking street car men was suppos-
ed to be effective today and allho the
labor leaders claimed 250,000 workers re-
sponded, there was little evidence that
any strike was in progress.
Private canvassers among the labor
unions reported that at least twenty-
two unions failed to respond The on-
ly strike reported by the police was
that of 250 members of the printers’ un-
ion who refused to report for work,
CLAIM 125,600 OUT.
According to figures given out at a
meeting ef representatives of the Labor
Union, 125,600 workers went out on or-
ders today. Among those who failed to
respond were the brewery workers, 6,-
000 in number, but the leaders declare
they will strike tomorrow’.
Union officials declared that 450,000
workers quitting work today would be
supplemented by 100.000 more tomorrow
and another 100,000 Friday.
Mayor Mitchell, who has been trying
to settle the differences, called labor
leaders yesterday to know their inten-
tions and was told they would have
200,000 men quit work “as a starter.’’

continue in seriousness and unless war

lieve a revolution will overthrow the

ROANOKE, Sept. 27—One of the
most "heart wndinji aeeMents enac-
ted recently in Denton eounty oc-
curred Tuesday afternoon at 6:30
o’cloek three miles west of Roanoke
on the Lee Litsey place when Fur-
ney Sebastian, 16 years old, threw a
bottle and struck his 13-year-old
sister, Fay. in the head, from the ef-
fects -of whieh she died thirty min-
utes later. The ferce of the throw
bursted the bottle and striking near
her temple it rendered little Fay un-
eonsclous instantly and she died be-
fore she eooid be removed to the
home of her father, 1. D. Sebastian,
in Roanoke.
The two principals in the accident
with a younger sister were the only
oaes In the cotton field at the time
of the accident. The younger sister
was picking eotton when it occurred
and the brother, Furney, stated that
he found the bottle in his cotton
row and was throwing it away. He
said he did not know his gister was
where he was throwing as she was
down the eotton row picking cotton.
The children had been picking
cotton on the Llteey farm several
days this fall and expected to have
their work in a short time to where
they could enter school.
The unconscious body of little
Fay was removed to the Llteey
house by men who heard the broth-
1 p ei*s call for help and a physician
summoned and her father notified
but she died before either could
reach her beidside.
The funeral services will be held
at the residence in Roanoke this af-
ternoon and interment will be made
in the Medlin cemetery beside the
- grave of the little girl’s mother who
died less than* a month ago from
gangrene.
This is the second violent death in
the family in six years and with the
death of the mother recently the
family is almost broken up with
grief. About six years ago an 18-
months-old infant drank gasoline
and died shortly afterwards.
Sheriff Pat Gallagher at Denton

Commission took up the water supply Combles with its great Booty completes
condition that is conceded to be grave
now and after considerable discussion
decided upon the sinking of a third well.
Commissioners Martin and Evers were
appointed on a committee to confer
with Mayor Gary in the letting of a
contract for the sinking of the well to
the first stratunp of water .about 600 feet
for a test and if more water is then
ineeded the well will be sunk to^the
deeper strata at about 1,100 feet.
During the discussion of the situation
Mayor Gary told the Commissioners
that the city was getting from the two
wells now only about half the water
that is needed. The pumps are drawing
about 300 gallons a minute and he esti-
mates that the city should have not less
than 500 gallons and more if possible.
Mayor Gary explained that one of the
problems now was to get power to raise
the water as the plant is taxed to its
capacity.
“We can’t pull the air compressor for
raising the water and the street lights
at ,the same time now'," said Mayor Ga-
ry. “And, I doubt very seriously if we
can pull ttfe West Oak street white way
system when -it is installed.”
Asked if it was the lack of engine
power or boiler power the Mayor re-
plie'd, “Well, it is both, but principally
the lack of engine power, just now.”
Deep Well Man Present,
J. L. Myers, a deep well driller, was
present at the meeting on request and
Was asked for information relative to
the water situation. He stated that he
did not think the shortage in the supply
was due to a decrease in the water stra-
tum thru it beginning to play out. He
told that two wells near together in
one stratum were supposed to lessen the
