PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 19. Secretary
" of the Interior Lane and his colleagues
on the Mexican-American Joint Com
mission, tlaced on General Carranza
today the responsibility of deciding
Whether the American Government
should continue its efforts to effect a
satisfactory and amicable adjustment
of the relations between the two coun
tries, and then adjourned until after
the holidays.
Through the Carranza representa
tives they sent to him a communica
tion further explaining the position of
the United States Government and con
taining protestatii3 that there exists
no intention to violate the sovereignty
of Mexico. It was made clear, how
ever, that there can be no modifica
' tlon of the conditions on which the
American troops will be withdrawn
from Mexico, and that the attitude
of the Government as outlined in the
declaration of policy made by Secretary
Lane when the protocol was signed at
Atlantic City has not been altered.

The communication was handed to
the Mexican representatives in joint
session and transmitted by them al
most immediately to Queretaro, where
It is gxpected it will receive prompt
consideration by General Carranza. It
was cabled and a copy sent by mall.
The message of the Americans was

The communication of the Mexicans
was not signed by Carranza, but his

addressed to the Mexican Commission

The Mexicans appeared confident that
ratification of the protocol . would be
withheld no longer and that shortly
after the beginning of the new year
they would be discussing with the
American Commissioners those ques
tions which are not covered In the
brief agreement whose ratification is
being1 awaited. ,
It was not decided where the com
missioners would reconvene -in the
event Carranza approved the protocol,
but it appeared almost certain that
the future sessions would be in New
York.- It was believed by the Mexicans
' that they would receive Carranza's
answer within a week or ten days and
that the conferences might be resumed
not later than January 25.

' m
WASHINGTON, Deo. 19. First eteps
toward ultimate Government control of
all radio communication between the
United'States, it outlying possessions
and ships at sea are proposed In an Ad
ministration bill laid before Congress
today providing, for a sweeping revi
sion of the laws regulating: wireless
stations.
The'proposal is In lino with a plan
worked out nearly a year ago by Navy
wireless experts and indorsed by Secre
tary Daniels and other Administration
officials in an informal suggestions to
' sfll of the American republics for Uni
form Government wireless control
throughout the Western Hemisphere.
As an initial step, the measure pre
sented today would authorize the Fed
eral Government to purchase commer
cial stations where the owners are will
ing to sell at a fair valuation; would
permit Government-owned plants to be
opened for private commercial busi
ness, and in the interest of National de
fense would throw restrictions about
the participation of aliens in the con
trol or- operation of American wireless.
Every private concern operating in the
United States would be requested un-
. der the bill to firing: 'at least two-
thirds of its stOQk under American
ownership and to have two-thirds ma-
Jority of Americans on Its board of di
rectors. No alien would be licensed as
ran operator in any land plant on
American territory.

PRINCESS CARAMAS CHI MAY, FORMERLY MISS cLARA WARD, OF
DETROIT.
PRINCESS
IS
DEAD
Ex-Wife of Late Prince Chemay
Passes Away in Italy.
MANY MATES DISCARDED
King Leopold Said to Have Been Vic
tim of Detroit Heiress -American
Trustees or Estate Arc Cau
tious in Accepting Report.
CHICAGO. Dec. 19. f Knprlal 1 Knt.
withstanding a cablegram received to
day, "signed "Cassalota." telling of the
death of Princess Caraman Chimay.
in her villa at Padua, on the Bav of
Venice, Lyon, Sary & Co.. the Chicago
trust company handling her tl. 000. 000
estate, has sent three cable messages
seeking verification of the report. . No
answer has yet been received. So many
escapades have been falsely attributed
to the "mad Princess" that the report
of, hei; death appears too strange for
the trustees of her estate to believe.
The Princess was born in 1873. the
daughter of Eber B. Ward, of Detroit,
whose millions she inherited.
When 17 she became the wife of
Prince Joseph de Caraman Chimay, a
tseigian nobleman, who had been at
tracted by her beauty. The nuptials
were not a week old before she had
thro'wn herself into - an affair with
Prince Baldwin, heir to the Belgian
throne.
Prince Chimay, in disgust, left her
and sued for divorce. In the midst of
tbeir mad infatuation. Prince Baldwin
mysteriously died. . It was said "the
power behind the throne had hushed a
scandal."
King Leopold was said to have been
the next victim attracted by her beau
ty. Her affair with him resulted in
social ostracism. Later a Hungarian
violinist, Janci Rigo, induced her to
elope. She tired, of him quickly, but
her freedom cost her much gold.
Giuseppe Ricclardl, a touring agency
clerk, won her after the Rigo episode.
His victory was brief, for she left him
to marry Cassalota,--her present hus
band.
The Princess Caraman Chimay, then
the wife of Janci Rigo, was in Port
land in 1913, when her husband played
in the orchestra at the old Louvre
Cafe, according to musicians who were
acquainted with both Mr. and Mrs.
Rigo. The ex-Princess, described - &a
an elaborately-dressed -woman of more
than average beauty, lived quietly dur
ing her residence here. She was not a
tnueician herself, but met many of her
husband's acquaintances in musical cir
cles.

Meeting In Library Hall Unenthasiaa-
tlc, Except for Sentiment for
City Lighting; Plant.
Another session of the Housewives'
League to attack the high living cost
was held in Library Hall last night,
but, aside from listening to a report
from L. X. Mahone.-'Chairman, on what
marketing Investigations have dis
closed elsewhere, the meeting did not
get far. Discussion became desultory
and the talks rambled. The only en
thusiasm developed was a pronounced
sentiment favorable to the municipal
lighting plant, as proposed by' Commis
sioner Daly. i' 'v
Chairman Mahone . made a report
from the local marketing committee,
which recommended, after an investi
gation, that provisions can be pur
chased cheaper at the public market
than elsewhere. He ..said 80 cents was
ample to pay for cold storage eggs
and 35 cents should be the limit, for
butter.
"We found that the egg boycott has
hit the farmers, the very ones we did
not want to hit." said " Mr. . Mahone.
"Since the boycott was started there
have been only three cases of eggs
Bhipped to Portland from Hillsboro.
This is but an instance -of the effect
upon egg producers. The boycott should
have been limited to coio-siorage
eggs."
The findings of the New Torfc Mar
ket Commission were related by the
chairman . and the benefits of public
markets recounted.; . Owing to conf Llct
ine attractions many of the .house
wives who lake an active part in' the
meetings were unable to attend last
-night. Tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock there will be another meeting
at the Library at which the topic of
a purchasing agency for the benefit of
people of the city, which- intends to do
away with middlemen, win De ais-
cussed. a
Last night's meeting veered around
and included many subjects, some of
which wera remote from the original
purpose of the movement.

why it is that a "manly man

It is because . of the su

A Hug From Hugg
Hugg! Now isn't that a sugges
tive name?
That double-g is evidently the in
tensive way of spelling it.
Personally, I prefer the Bingle-g;
I'm more used to that style, but
let it pass; what I started to say
is that Hugg is playing Santa
Glaus to a lot of people. He
bought all his jewelry at Aronson's,
and Aronson packed it and shipped
it to him at San Francisco.
And here's what Aronson rec
eived in the mail the other day
from Hugg:
