CUSTOM HOUSE
(Continued from page 1.)
his statement of several days ago
that the American flag had not been
insulted by the Mexican federal troops
at Tampico, and that for the inad
vertent arrest of tne paymaster and
his two men an ample apology had
been offered not only by the federal
commander at Tampico but later he
had made personal apology and re
gret for the incident.
No Animosity Toward Americans.
Huerta stated that he held no ani
mosity towards Americans because of
the friction between the American
administration and his own and that
he felt the greatest admiration for
the people of the United States.
Americans Nearly Kill a Mexican.
TUSCON, Ariz., April 21—A Mex
ican living in this city yesterday
shouted “Viva Huerta! Viva Huerta!
and a crowd of Americans who heard
his shout for the provisional president
of Mexico nearly beat him to death,
and when the police drove the crowd
off the Mexican was unconscious and
had a fractured skull, besides many
broken ribs. He is not expected to
live.
Mexican Students Thrown in River.
NOTRE DAME, Ind., April 21.—A
dozen Mexican students at the local j
college here were taken from the
college building yesterday and thrown
into the river by the college students,
who wished to show' their disapprov
al of the Mexicans and the meth
ods of the present provisional gov
ernment in dealing with the United
States. Several of the Mexican lads
were taken from the river almost
drowned, and the students refused
to allow them to land until almost
exhausted, when cooler heads and the
arrival of several members of the
faculty forced the release of the Mex
icans, who are now quartered in the
administration building under a strong
guard of the faculty and several po
lice from the town. They will be
escorted to the Canadian border when
hostilities break out, as the college
authorities realize that they will be
unable to protect the Mexican stu
dents from the assaults of the schol
ars.
Rebels Will Continue Fight.
CHIHUAHUA CITY, Mexico, April
21.—General Carranza arid General
Villa met here today for the first
time in four years and both leaders
of the constitutional forces announ
ced that the war against General
Huerta would be continued in spite
of the present difficulty between
Provisional President Huerta and the
American government and that the
rebel army would proceed south at
once and hoped to capture the cap
ital city in a few weeks.
Have Army of 25,000 Men.
The rebel army now consists of
25,000, men, who have been fully
armed during the period that arms
were allowed to be imported from the
United States and the army have the
best guns available, besides more than
fifty machine guns and light artillery
purchased in the United States and
the large number of guns captured
during the past year’s fighting with
the federate.
Short of Ammunition.
The greatest fear of the rebels is
that with the closing of Imports in
to Mexico from the United States that
the supply of ammunition will soon
be exhausted, but as Huerta must
suffer in the same manner they ex
pect it will even matters, besides the
rebel leaders hope to make a deal with
the American troops for aid against
Huerta and for recognition.
Foreign Bankers Beetles*.
LONDON, April 31—The news of
the contemplated seizure of the cus
tom houses in Mexico by the United
States has caused the bankers 'of this
city and in Paris and Berlin to be
come uneasy, as foreign bankers have
advanced many millions of dollars to
the Mexican government under the
promise that the custom receipts
were to be turned over to the bank
ers, which has been done for the
past two years. The bankers have
appealed to their respective govern
ment to protest against the seizure of
the security for their money and to
demand that the United States guar
antee the foreign loan of the Mexi
can republic if the customs houses
are taken,
SENATOR TANNER GIVES
GEOGGRAPHY LESSON
Another Eastern wholesale house
_j. w. Pepper & Son, of Philadel
phia, manufacturers, importers and
wholesale dealers in musical instru
ments and music—has received a
first lesson in the geography and his
tory of Alaska at the hands of Sen
ator J. M. Tanner, of Skagway. Sen
ator Tanner recently sent an order
to this Philadelphia house for some
band instruments. He received a re
ply in which occurred this state
ment:
"We have your order of the 18th,
and, while thanking you for the
same, we regret, to state that we do
not make C. O. D. shipments into
Canada owing to customs regula
tions. In fact, cash in advance is
our only method of doing business
with Canadian orders.”
Replying to the letter Senator Tan
ner said:
"I note that your house was es
tablished in 1876 within the sound
of Liberty Bell. When will the peo
ple of the East learn that Alaska was
purchased by the United States from
Russia, and taken possession of Oc
tober 18, 1867, and that it has been
a part of the United States ever
since, though scarcely recognized as
American territory until the incom
ing of the present administration?
“I refer you to the fact that the
United States has just appropriated
$35,000,000 to build railroads in Alas
ka, and Uncle Sam is not appro
priating money to build railroads in
Canada. I am sending you a map of
Alaska also to verify my statement
that Alaska is in the United States
and not in Canada. I suggest that
you endeavor to have the school chil
dren of your city instructed—and sug
gest that school geographies should
be introduced in your public schools
containing a map of Alaska on the fly
leaf, so that it will be the first thing
to attract their attention.
"For further information, we have
more than thirty steamships a month
arriving from Seattle, Portland and
San Francisco throughout the year
and those cities, too, are in the Unit -
ed States.
“We raise the finest vegetales tint!
children in the world here in Alaska,
and we teach the children that the
Declaration of Independence was
signed in your city of Philadelphia.
“Further, nearly every city in Alas
ka has a band, and if you will attend
the San Francisco fair next year you
will have a chance to hear the J. H.
S. (Juneau High School) band, of
Juneau, Alaska, play the national air
—and it will be the ‘Star Spangled
Banner!’ ”

COTTON FARMERS CHEATED.
Victims of a System of Averages Used
by Middlemen.
Washington.—The office of markets
of the department of agriculture has
made an Investigation of the irregu
larities In prices paid for cotton from
the time it is harvested until it reach
es New York. The investigators re
ported that in some sections of the
cotton belt the farmers are cheated
out of from $1 to $12.50 a bale by the
middlemen and the carriers, by a sys
tem of averages.
“The cotton crop of Oklahoma for
1012,” says the report, "contained
about 19,000 bales of strict good mid
dling cotton on which the New York
differences would entitle somebody to
a total of over $20,000 in premiums
above the prices of good middling. No
one in that state who was interviewed
admitted having received a cent of this
premium.
“The investigation showed that in
the case of strict middling cotton in
the same local market, the difference
in price for bales of this grade would
vary from $2 to $7.25. In the case of
low middling cotton in seven markets,
the price variation on the same duy
was from $2.20 to $12.50 a bale. In
the case of low middling cotton the
variation ran from $2.50 to $3 per
bale.”
“PET” WILDCAT ESCAPES.
Kills Two Tamed Ones Right Off Be
fore It Is Shot.
White Tigeon, Mich.—Jacob Stickel’s
“pet” wildcat is dead, much to the
sorrow of Stickel. but to the Joy of
his neighbors. Before the cat died or,
rather, was killed, considerable excite
ment prevailed, and not a few of the
residents locked themselves in their
homes to escnpe the fury of the ani
mal.
The trouble started when Stickel’s
“pet” escaped from its cage'. The first
thing the animal did on getting free
was to quickly put to death two cnts
in the neighborhood. The shrieks of
the tame cats as they were attacked
by the wildcat struck terror In the
hearts of the many women and chil
dren and brought out the men of the
neighborhood with guns and other
weapons, and the hunt for the animal
began.
After some hours it was located un
der the barn. Efforts were made to
drive it back to its cage without suc
cess. Finally the animal was shot by
Horace Reynolds.
ISAYS HE GAN CURE
| LOVE BY NEW SERUM
i London Doctor Says It Is Worse
Than Most of the Vices.
London. — Love, passionate cousurn
I ing love, which tortures and disables
its victims, is curable by segregation
and u new serum. This is the discov
ery of Dr. Maurice de Fleury, the fa
mous “brainstorm” specialist.
Dr. de Fleury declares that to be in
love, whether passionately or platon
icaliy, is a form of mental poisoning
comparable to physical intoxication.
By means of delicate electrical instru
ments, which "record every infinitesi
mal movement of the nervous system.”
Dr. de Fleury said, be has obtained
charts of the condition of sufferers
from this "passional Intoxication” and
found how to treat it.
He.iput8.love In the fifth category ef
enslaving poisons, which be arranges
according to severity as follows:
First, alcohol; second, opium and
hasheesh; third, morphine, cocaine and
ether; fourth, tobacco; fifth, love.
In the course of his experiments Dr.
de Fleury traced the curve of love fe
ver as clearly as that of typhoid may
be traced and charted in its phases.
He prescribes graduated isolation and
a wonderful serum, which be does not
describe.
Ho tells of one typical cuse of a bad
man who wished to be cured, but re
sisted treatment. Just as the typical
morphinomanlac does. He wept and
implored und reproached the physician,
who was convinced that the man
would commit suicide If the treatment
were abandoned. He dosed his patient
with Intermittent separations from his
lady love, increasing the intervals of
segregation as the man grow stronger.
After five weeks the man became calm,
and at the end of two mouths he was
completely cured.
