The border patrol plan Is but part
of what this Government hopes to ac
complish. Primarily, however, pro
tectlon and safety of American rights
and proporty in Mexico Is the big
problem.
And, If these rights are not obtained
satisfactorily and a border patrol plan
effected, new steps will be taken.
The United Press learned these facta
from a trustworthy source today.
A V hut the alternative course Is, In
event of failure at Atlantic City, no

Secretaries Lane, Lansing, and llakcr
alono know what It Is.
It Is freely predicted by those close
to Mexican problems that a shift In
policy will be forthcoming, which will
deal rather mora strictly with Mexico
than In tho past.
Tho Administration. however. Is
really hopeful that such Ideas need
not be used; leaders really think that
the Mexican' commissioners will be
whipped Into line, with the conse
quent benefit both to the United States

that President Wilson approves It,
and Is backing his commissioners tn

While the officers send substantial
checks and express and postal money
orders home, the great bulk was sent
by the enlisted men, whoso pay ranges
from $15 a month for a private to $t5
or first sergeants. Scores of tho ex
press money orders sold by Chaplain
Smith to tho militiamen were for V,
J7.G0, $S and $10. In many Instances
the amount sent home represented all
the militiamen had nfter paying their
bills at the canteen.
The militiamen have quieted down
considerably and most of them are
treading tho straight and narrow path.
The hike to New Iiraunfclq. covering
aixty-rour miles, wnicn was in tnc na
ture of an endurance contest, con
vinced tho militiamen that they must
keep themselves physically fit.
Tho Washlngtonians' first pay day
here was characterized by scenes of
Jollity and mirth in strong contrast with
the soldiers' grouch over the delay In
paying them. When Capt. E. W. Ful
lam, regimental adjutant. Instructed
Sergeant Loveless, chief of the drum
nnd bugle corps, to sound "pay call,"
tho sergeant Jumped three feet In the
air and shouted with glee. At double
quick speed he rustled out the buglers
and drummers, ana began mo ever
welcomo pay day parade.
After sounding pay call the buglers
played a little ditty known oa "You're
In tho army now." The gist of this
song Is "You're In the army now,
you're not behind the plow, you base
born boob the probabilities of your be
coming wealthy arc most remote, you're
In tho army now." This Is not a ver
batim copy of the words, but It Is as
near accurate as Is printable.
The exuberant militiamen did not like
this song following pay call, and chased
tho buglers to their quarters.

strongly advanced In some quarters
that British and allied merchantmen

SKULL FRACTURED,

NEW YORK, Nov 20. One of the
most remarkable cases which sur

they ever had brought to their atten

forty-flvo years old, who died there
yesterday following an operation for
a fracturo of the skull. The man wuj
injured on November 0 last, and had
been walking about until Saturday.
Conquest lived with his brother,
William D. Conquest. In Woodslde. He
was on his way home on the night of
November 0, he told his brother, when
he stumbled and fell, striking on his
head.
On Saturday, twelve days after tho
accident. Conquest lost the power of
speech. Ho became alarmed and went
to uie Hospital. aurgeonB operaieu at
once, finding his akult had been frac
tured. Conquest did not recover con
sciousness after the operation.

The accident occurred In a field, at
Massachusetts avenue and Anacostla

Increase In efficiency, of street clean
ing. By the present arrangement con
tracts on these four classes of waste
removal are made every nvo years.
A new contractor would have to In
clude the cost of a plant in his bid.
Duplication of Work.
The old contractors take advantage
of this fact to lower their bids enough
to keep new bidders from competing
with them, but they also Include In
their bids a portion of the price repre
sented In their original bids for equip
ment of plants.
Money Is now spent on Inspection,
It was stated, which could be spent
on those directly engaged In the work
of wasto removal, it was stated.
When the street cleaning work was
taken out of the hands of contractors
th city saved $.10,000 at the outset
by converting Its inspectors Into fore
men, and thus eliminating a uvnlica
tlon of employment.
Price Increasing Yearly.
Each year, It Is argued, the cost of
erecting municipal plants for garbage
and refuse will Increase Price
of material has advanced 30 per cent,
ana tnat or machinery even more,
since tho estimates of cost of a mu
nicipal plant were made by Mr. Os
born. On the basis of existing prices he
made the following estimate:
"The not annual cost of tho District
In 102S, as estimated for the recom
mended project, amounts to $137,008,
Including interest and depreciation.
The amount required to collect and
dispose of municipal waste by present
contracts Is $101,020 per year. Assum
ing that tho cost by contract under
present conditions will not Increase,
there would be a saving of $.13,002 per
year If the work was done by the Dis
trict at the estimated cost for 102S.
"If this amount was set aside as a
sinking fund each year, with Interest
at 3'.i per cent. It would only require
approximately thirteen years to amor
tize tho total capital Investment of
$885,000, so that after this period not
only would the capital Investment bo
paid off, but the District would own
the plants In practically as good con
dition as when new."
Points In Plan.
The proposed plan of municipal col
lection and disposal Includes the fol
lowing polntB:
"Separate collection of each class of
waste.
"Improved collection equipment
from the standpoint of appearance
and elimination of nuisance.
"Construction of two garbage trans
fer stations, one In the southeast sec
tion and the other In the lower north
east section of the District.
Disposal of garbage and dead ani
mals by- the reduction process In a
plant located near Shepherds Ferry.
("Disposal of rubbish In a utilization
and Incinerating plant.
"Disposing or ashes by dumptng as
fill on low ground.
"Disposal of night soil by contract.
"Sale of municipal by-products re
covered and materials reclaimed,"
Could Almost Moke Way.
From the last mentioned sales the
municipality could mako Its collection
and dUposal of waste almost self-supporting,
lt Is believed. These by
firoducts are apt to Increase In price,
t Is believed, and to be greater In pro
Sortlon to the garbage collected as
etter means are found of extracting
them.
The principal by-products are the
grease, sold for use in oils, and the
tankage," left after tho greaBe Is ex
tracted and sold to be mixed with
other substances to bo utilized as fer
tilizer.
Several other projects also were
considered, Including that of an in
cinerating plant for all garbage and
refuse, but this was considered too
costly because of the wasto of tho by
products. WOULD SHUT STREET
