HURRY
IN MEXICO GITT
Fear That Huerta Will be Downed and
That Life and Property Will
be Destroyed in Riots.
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 28.—Condi
tions here are serious, as the troops
have not been paid for many months
and are sulking because of the lack
of pay and the news of the terrible
defeat of the federal forces at Juarez
by General Villa, of the constitution
alists.
It is generally believed that the
Huerta reign is about to fall and that
the conditions in this city will he
something terrible when the strong
hand of the dictator is withdrawn.
Americans and foreigners who have,
up to the present, been unafraid, are
now sending their families to Vera
Cruz and ordered them on to Cuba
and America, as it is feared a reign
of anarchy will follow the downfall
oi Huerta, and that murder, rapine
and looting cannot be stopped.
All valuables of foreigners have
keen placed in custody of the foreign
eqnsuls and a register of the prop
aiyty which cannot be stored has been
■ed, one with the Mexican foreign
•lice and the other with the consul
dt the country ta which the foreign
er belongs.
It is expected that the damage will :
ha enormoue and that in the end Mex-,
leo will indemnify the losers.
Americans in this city are bitter at
Ike attitude of the Wilson adminis
tration in blocking the Huerta re
gime from securing funds and also by
•Iriag aid to the rebels of the north,
♦bo are unlit for recognition and ,
have been enlisted from the bandits
Md jail birds and the vicious ele
ment and have murdered, raped and
♦olen to their hearts content. The
American business men of this city
♦aim lhat Huerta is the only Mexican
strong enough to establish peace in
tke republic and that President Wil
son should have upheld him instead
•f making it impossible for the presi
dent to secure funds to pay the army.
10 RECESS fflfl .
Cteorino Committee ef Upper House
Decides te Remain in Session
Until Bill is Passed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28—The
Beniorr^tic Steering committee of the
Semite met today and decided tlial
a© Christmas rece.is would be taken
■ntil the currency bill had been pass
ed. The Democrats intend to force
the members of their own party and
the Republican obstructionists into al
lowing the bill to pass under threat of
mo Christmas for the representatives
mnless it is done.
Senators Hitchcock and O’Gorman
assert that the action of the Steer
ing committee will make it difficult
to pass the hill, as the Democratic
members of the Senate who oppose
the administration bill will continue
'o fight the measure until it has been
amended to bring the power of the
control of the funds into the hands
of a central board anil not distribut
ed into from eight or twelve regional
banks, which in turn loan to the
banks connected .vith sectional re
serve banks.
Four hundred national banks have
notified the members o( the Senate
Currency and Planning coipmittee that
if the Glass-Owen bill is passed as
11 now stands they will surrender
their national chatters and apply for
state charters, as the .rules are pro
hibitive.

Federal Authorities Will Probe the
Death of Insane Patient Kill
ed in Gravel Pit.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28—The De
partment of Justice has asked for a
federal investigation into the conduct
of the management of the Morning
side asylum, Oregon, where the insane
of Alaska are corffined. The inves
tigation results from the death of
Louis Anderson, of Iditarod, who was
killed by a cave-in in a gravel pit,
where he was working, in company
with other patients.
The district attorney took the mat
ter up with-the department and ask
ed that the institution be investigat
ed. During the inquest witnesses
testilied three insane patients were
working under a wall forty-five feet
high and that a slide had occurred
earlier in the day. Julius Schaefer,
another patient, was buried for some
time, but was released in time to
save his life.
The physician of the asylum stat
ed that he had authorized the men
to be placed at work as he had found
it was greatly to their benefit to be
employed in the open air. Evidence
showed that the gravel bank where
the men were employed inclined out
ward and was dangerous. It is pos
sible that the management may be
prosecuted for manslaughter for
working men in a place which was
dangerous. The patients are regu
larly worked at labor for the benefit
of the institution.

WOULD OUST
STANDARD OIL
German Oil Refiners Are Driven Out
of Business in FqtherUnd. and
Seek Ai.d From Reichstag.
BERLIN, Germany, Nov.. 28.—The
reichstag assembled here today and
the members of the German parlia
ment will try to find some means of
ousting the American Standfftd Oil
company, in spite of the fact that
the company now owns two-thirds of
the visible supply of oil in German
oil fields.
The Standard has driven out all
competition by underselling the Ger
man trust and German manufacturers
have complained to the government,
claiming that unless relief is soon
offered they also will be driven from
the oil refining business and that the
American trust would have the field
to itself.
The government proposes to oust
the Standard Oil company if some
Way can be found to do so and not
violate the treaty rights of the Amer
ican concern.
WASHINGTON,* Nov. 28.—It is gen
erally v believed here that Secretary j
Bryan, of the State department, will
not interfere in the war now going ]
on between German and American
oil refiners for possession of the Ger
man market, even if the Stand
ard Oil company protests to the State
department, as the policy of this ad
ministration is to forget the "dollar
diplomacy" of the previous Repub
lican administrations, therefore no no
tice will he taken of the matter.

MRS. PANKHURST
REAPS HARVEST
Touched American* During Vhree
Week* for $20,000—Takes Money
and Goes, Thank God.
NEW YORK, Nov. 28— Mrs. Em
mallne Pankhurst, leader of English
militant suffragettes, sailed from here
yesterday for France, taking with
her drafts . for $20,000, the proceeds
of her three weeks lecture tour in
America.
Only a few of the American wo
men working for the cause in Amer
ica were at the dock to bid the aged
English woman farewell, because of
the many disagreements between
Mrs. Pankhurst and the American
committees, as the British militant
was always asking for greater re
turns than her contract called for,
and desired to pass the hat around
at each lecture, not for the good of
the cause, but for herself and in ev
ery case she refused to share with the
managers of the lecture if collections
were taken up.
Mrs. Pankhurst lectured under con
tracts which guaranteed her as high
as $2,000 a night and in many in
stances the managers lost money, as
they were unable to fill the halls.
