MEXICO CITY, Nov. 25.—Provis

the commander of the troops in this
city to fill up the Mexican federal
army by conscript'on and squads of
troops were in all parts of the city
forcing the Mexicans to join the
army to fight for their country and
down the rebels.
Wild scenes of disorder followed
the forced drafting of troops. Many
tried to escape but were caught and
taken to the barracks; women fear
ing that husbands and fathers would
be taken away and killed tried to
rescue the men, but were driven back
by the regular troops.
All the cafes and restaurants were
raided and those found in them were
taken to the palace and forced to en
list. A numb r of citizens of other
countries were caught in the dragnet, ;
but secured their release by appeal- ;
ing to their consuls, who set in mo- j
i ion the diplomatic machinery to have j
the cit’zens of other countries releas- j
ed.
Many Mexicans have appealed to
the diplomatic representatives for aid
in preventing President Huerta from
enforcing his demand that all Mexi- :
cans bear arms. To date none of the j
diplomatic agents have indicated that !
they will interfere.

PRECEDENT
Enters the Senate Chamber and Sits
With the Members of the Up
per House.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25—Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo today caused
much talk when he invaded the floor
of the Senate and sat with the mem
bers of the majority party, thus
breaking a long established prece
dent. It 's believed that the action
was at the suggestion of the presi
dent, who desires that the cabinet
officers shall take part in the dis
cussion on the floor of the two
houses, and shall aid the legislators
in passing the laws needed for the
good of the country and shall be able
to inform the members of congress
of needed legislation and give to
them such advice as the executive
branch may have regarding the op
eration of laws passed.
The English plan of government, j
wherein the cabinet officers become I
leaders on the floor of the House of
Commops, is greatly favored by Pres
ident Wilson.
CURRENCY BILL

Senator Makes Speech When Report

| WASHINGTON, Nov. 25— Senator
J Owen, chairman of the Senate Bank
ing and Currency committee, yester
I day introduced the currency bill ap
| proved by the Democratic majority
; of the committee. In his remarks
! making the report for the committee,
| Senator Owen charged that in 1907
I the manufacturers of the country
j caused the panic which placed all the
banks in the country on a script ba
sis. The Oklahoma senator also paid
his respects to the members of the
■ Resolution committee of the Demo
! eratic convention and the Publicity
I committee of the Wilson campaign
| for misrepresenting the position Dem
| ocracy takes towards the currency.
“The campaign book issued in 1912
'and the platform of the Baltimore
j convention were garbled,” declared
! the senator. ' The Democratic party
I favors a currency for the use of the
I people in times of stress and not
i for the benefit of the banks; a cur
i rency that will always remain the
I same and give to hon st labor an
I honest dollar and prevent the Wall
'street crooks from controlling the
! money of the people and making use
|.of it for their own gain.”
He was roundly applauded by the
members of the Democratic side of
the chamber.

Five Priests Enter St. Mary’s and
Save Sacred Vessels—Crowds
Are Hysterical.
NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—Fire broke
out yesterday evening in St. Mary’s
Catholic church on Grand street and
hundreds of Catholics prayed in the
street while five priests of the church
entered the burning building and sav
ed the sacred vessels. All five of
the priests were badly singed and
required the attention of the doctors
who had been summoned when the
alarm was g'ven.
The firemen soon extinguished the
fire with but small ’ damage, mostly
to the decorations of the church,
which were comple'ely ruined by the
w-ater.
The police reserves were needed
from three precincts to quiet the peo
ple of the neighborhood, who became
unmanageable because of excitement
regarding the priests, a story having
been circulated that several of the
priests w'ho entered the burning
building had never come out. It re
quired the presence of the priests
themselves to quiet the hysterical wo
men.

Kick Because They Have to Pay Big
Profit on Summer Eggs—Or
der a Boycott.
NEW YORK, Nov. 25—A house
wives league was organized here yes
terday with a membership of 700,000.
The object of the league is to force
the cold storage men, who purchas
ed eggs during the summer from the
farmers for from 12 to 22 cents, to
sell to the people at a fair price, in
stead of charging 60 and 70 cents for
cold storage eggs.
A general boycott has been start
ed, which will result in thousands
of cases of eggs being spoiled which
are now out of storage and placed
ready for sale in the retail stores. It
will mean that the cold storage men
will not do much business this win
ter.
The committee of the league claim
that the eggs are purchased during
the summer in Iowa, Nebraska and
the middle western states and that
they are then held for the big raise
during the winter. The cold storage
companies are accused of making.ex
orbitant profits.
