loot.

Mexico City. Not. 7.—Business is
demoralized in this city and many
failures have been recorded in the
last three monlbs, greater in num
ber than ever recorded before in an

their families an4 to the officers and
enlisted men of the army, who buy
but do not pay.

i Chicago, Nov. 7.—Investigators for
! the Civic League have made the dis
\ ciyvery that many children are em
ployed by the janitors of the schools
to assist (hem in cleaning the build
| ing and that some of them received
! a dollar a month for the work they
do. A protest has been made to the
school board and the dismissal of the
janitors has been demanded.
The accused men assert that they
gave the children a dollar a month
to pick up papers and work for a
half hour each day and that the
youngsters were glad to get the candy
money and that some of them aided
their parents by taking the money
home. The children also helped to
keep the rooms orderly, as they then
ceased throwing the paper about the
rooms and yards.
The Civic League insists upon the
punishment of the janitors.
HIS
GLASS BILL
Refuses to Sanction Proposed Changes
in His Pet Measure—May Cause
Break in the Party.
Washington, Nov. 7.—President
Wilson disapproves of the changes
proposed by the members of the Sen
• ale Finance committee to the Glass
currency bill and he has stated that
the bill must be passed as it now
stands.
This statement of the president is
sure to cause a break in the ranks
of the patty and a number of eastern
senators are unwilling to pass the bill
; desired by the president, as they as
sert it means the ruination of the
' banking industry of the country, and
consequently is sure to cause a pan
; ic.
Senator O’Gorman, of New York,
leads the opposition to the bill and
has stated that he will never vote
for the measure as passed by the
House and he is supported by other
Democratic senators. The president,
however, seems unruffled at the op
position and is determined to have i
his way.

BRITISH TREATY
Senator Martine Says It Interferes
With Too Many American
Rights.
Washington. D- C7 NoV. 7.—Senator
Martine, of New Jersey, urged the
'Senate today to recommend the re
peal of the Hay-Pauncefote Panama
treaty with Great Britain on the
ground that it interferes with too
many American rights. He said that
he had received many protests that
the Tariff bill’s five per cent shipping
rebate was a violation of the terms of
the treaty.
The senator added that he pre
ferred a repeal of the treay rather
than a repeal of the five per cent
rebate in the tariff law, and predict
ed that the United States would have
the best of the argument if foreign
countries tried to make commercial
.reprisals because of the five per cent
rebate.
“If Germany should elect to try it.
on us,” he said, “we would shut off
her supplies of cotton, copper and
phosphates. To Great Britain we
would give the same medicine.
Should South America throw down
the gauntlet we could shut off their
coffee and rubber a little, and ruin
would stare them in the face. Japan
needs our cotton, and besides this we
are her best market. No senator or
citizen wants commercial war or any
other kind of war, but other nations
grant important favors to their in
dustries.”

fer of the remainder of the Kodiak
fund to the relief of the Nome#suf
ferers, which was done late yester
day.

LIST STEAMER
LEAVES NOME
Made an Extra Trip at Great Risk
in Order to Relieve Situa
tion in thV Camp.
Nome, Nov. i.—'fhe steamer Vic
toria, of the Aliska Steamship com
pany, left here yesterday for Seattle
with a capacity load of passengers.
The steamer is leaving later than any
boat ever Left the northern camp
heretofore and the company officials
only sent her into the Bering sea up
on the representation of their agent,
who wired that unless supplies' were
brought in.and the stricken and broke
miners taken out great suffering and
hardship would result. General Man
ager Baxter then ordered the boat
back, although he could secure no in
surance on her or the cargo after the
ship entered Bering sea and until she
again enters the Pacific ocean on her
southbound trip.
The cargo of three thousand tons
of supplies brought north on the liner
will be a great relief to the people
here who are forced to remain dur
ing the winter. It is now thought
that enough supplies have been ac
cumulated to tide the population over
this winter.

TROUBLE FOR
CURRENCY BILL
Senators Insist That Committee
Recind Its Present Recom
mendations.
Washington, Nov. 7.—Senate lead
ers of the Democratic party are great
ly disturbed by the action of the
Finance committee ini favoring a
change in the currency bill from the
Glass measure, advocated by the pres
ident and passed by the lower House.
It is now planned by the leaders
to call a caucus and force the Dem
ocratic senators, who oppose the bill,
into line or excommunicate them
from the party. It has been urged
upon members of the committee on
Banking and Currency that they re
consider their action so as to prevent
the necessity of calling the caucus.
Senator O’Gorman, of New York,
is determined to fight the adminis
tration bill and insists that he will
break away from any caucus decis
ion of his party and assist the oppo
nents of the bill.

Wives or Do They?
j
Washington, N'ov. 7. -Should Nat
Goodwin, the actor, pay the income
tax on the alimony he is to pay to
his several wives or should they pay
it? Th's is the question now worry
ing the officials of the Treasury de
partment, who are to collect the tax.
Some assert that Nat should pay
it: that the several wives must re
ceive the full amount ordered by the
court to he paid to them, while oth
ers of the officers claim that the wo
men should pay, as it is part of their
income and together with their earn

WONDERFUL INVEVNTION
BY SAN FRANCISCO MAN
San Francisco, Nov. 7.— I ihe J
"wireless eye” does all that M. C.
Blum says it will do, navigation is
on the eve of jusl such another rev
olution as it experienced with the
discovery of Ihe wireless telegraph,
in the opinion of seafaring men who !
have examined the "eye” with which 1
its inventor, S. Spitz, is experiment- j
ing at Vallejo. Blum and YV. K. Bodo |
are financing the invention and have j
taken out twenty-seven patents on j
it. The instrument, which works on
ly at night, reflects on a mirror a |
moving picture of everything within j
a radius of several miles. It receives
Its impression from a web of wires
erected on a tall mast. It is useless
by daylight, however, for the reason
that the wires register only the
"stygian rays.”
“The .navigator of a ship so equip
ped could see on the darkest night
the surface of the ocean all about
him,” said Blum. “He could observe
other ships approach or the proxim
ity of rocks, shoals or icebergs. A |
coast guard could soe an enemy’si
scouts approaching long before the |
scouts had found what they were
seeking. * During ft receht test at Vrtj
lejo, the observers saw in the mir
ror the ihlps on the river, tile raif
town ti$'
valley, people walking about and ev
en the sentries pacing their beats on !
the. island.” Spitz .wis formerly a I
wireless expert on Mare Island.

ers by Surprise.
Indianapolis, Nov. 7.—The entire
state guard quietly detrained just
outside the city limits this afternoon
and when enough troops were con
centrated, they marched into the city
and established martial law. The
sudden arrival of the militia caused
consternation among the strikers and
they soon left the car barns and hur
ried to headquarters for orders. The
police have been ordered to their pa
trols in the r sidence districts be
cause of the many robberies commit

down town section.
The militia intend to patrol the
street car lines and will place guards
on all cars when they are run tomor
