Washington Nov. 21. Convening
of the Mexican congress and Provi
sional President Huerta's reading of
his message are regarded by officials
here as merely carrying the situation
between Mexico and the- United States
one step further along and not as
events which forecast any Immediate
action by the United States.
The view here is that each day adds
to what administration officials re
garded as the steady and gradual dis
integration of the Huerta regime.
Understanding With London.
The official view is that should the
Mexican congress act on English oil
concessions pending such acts will be
reRarded as Invalid not only by the
United States but ty Great Britain. A
perfect understanding Is understood
to have been reached between Lon
don and Washington.
' Inasmuoh as foreign governments
generally have signified their assent
to the American pdllcy as thus far
outlined, it is being taken for granted
here that so far es the nations of the
world are concerned the new Mexi
can Congress may legislate as It will
hut its acts will not have Internation
al sanction as the constituted law
making body of the southern republic
Such a favorable attitude by other
nations generally, strengthen the con
fidence of the Washington govern
ment that the power of the Huerta
regime is crumbling. The fact that
many members of the Catholic party
did not attend the sesion of congress
hy previous agreement Is regarded
as another evidence of the loss by
Huerta of one of the chief sources
of his previous suppori -
While no positive steps are being
taken and no action of a summary
character so far as known In plan
ned, the disposition of high officials
Is to await the slow but what they
deem Inevitable process of forcing
Huerta to retire.
Late Conferences.
Mexico City, Npv. 21. The fact
that Nelson O'Shaughnessy, American
charge d'affaires, has had two con
ferences with the Mexican minister of
foreign affairs, during the past few
days became known here today. The
exact character of these meetings and
the nature of the conversation are not
known, but It Is evident that their net
result did not change the situation.
Assurances were given at the em
hussy today that no instructions had
l'r-en received from Washington for
charge O'Shaughnessy to leave his
post. It is known that his personal
nffa!is are In such order that he
could leave at an. hour's notice If the
necessity arose. , '
Levy to Pay Troops.
A levy of 500,000 pesos has been
made at Monterey to pay the troops
there. It Is stated that the American
Smelting and Refining company's con-
moutlon toward this amount was
25,000 pesos.
Muderos Want Refuge.
There was no cabinet meeting today
but the president saw Secretaries Gar
rison and Bryan and Acting Secretary
Roosevelt, of the navy. Dispatches
received from Rear Admiral Fletcher
were discussed but the contents were
not divulged.
Later It became known that Admiral
Fletcher's dispatches concerned asy
lum for Evaristo and Daniel Madero
and some of their followers who have
heen liberated from the Vera Crur
Prison and have applied to Consul
Canada for protection. It was Indi
cated that they probably will be taken

Although the city was said to have
been captured by the rebels on Tuea-

of
Washington, Nov. 21. There will be
no New Year's reception at the White
House next January. President Wil
son announced today that during the
holiday recess of congress he would
take a 10 days vacation. Exactly when
or where he will go was not announc
ed and probably will not be until his
departure.
The White House New Tear's recep
tion is a historic Institution in Wash
ington besides being one of the mile
stones in the capital's social season.
It has been the custom for the presi
dent to receive congressmen, army and
navy omcers, me diplomatic corps
and all official Washington according
to rank and then shake hands with
citizens. More than 6000 have shaken
hands with citizens. More than 5000
have shaketv hands with the president
on such occasions. The reception Is
always followed by rounds of official
calls.
The White House issued this state
ment:
"The usual New Tear's reception
will not be held on January 1, 1914.
The departure from custom on this
occasion Is due to the fact that the
president will not be In Washington at
that time. Owing to the long session
of congress the president has had no
vacation' since his inauguration. As
the approaching session of congress
will be the long session the only op
portunity for the president to secure a
rest will be during the usual holiday
recess of congress."
New Tork, Nov. 21. It has become
to be accepted among local baseball
writers as a foregone conclusion that
the proposed election of Governor
John K. tTener of Pennsylvania, to
the presidency of the National league,
will go through without a hitch. It
is said to be now practically certain
that all of the eight club owners of
the league are united in favor of the
proposed successor . to Thomas J.
Lynch.
Governor Tener's term of office as
governor does not expire until Jan
uary. 1, 1916. so If he Is elected to the
league presidency next month he will
serve only In the capacity of an hon
orary president until his guberna
torial service Is ended, the league af
fairs meanwhile being left In charge
of Secretary John A. Heydler.
The result of opposition of election
of President Lynch Is still a matter
of some surprise. No specific charge
has ever been made against him
though it Is well known that he has
antagonized many of the club owners
by the firm stand he has taken in
many disputes, particularly with re
gard to 'the upholding of umpires.
Some observers assert that one of the
reasons that the National league has
in mind a man of Governor Tener's
prominence Is a hope of "restoring
the older league's' prestige." It Is
pointed out that this prestige has been
threatened If not actually affected by
the success of the American league
In winning the world's championship
regularly for the past four years.
Sheriff C. F. Williams and Deputy
Sheriff E. M. Mitchell this morning
made a search and seizure raid on
the Century drug store in the Lan
gren hotel building and took posses
sion of about 30 Ogallons of intoxi
cating liauors of various kinds. F. H.
McMullen, manager of the store, was
arrested on the charge of unlawfully
keeping on hand over one gallon of
spirituous, vinous and malt liquors,
for the purpose of sale.. He was ar
raigned before Judge Frank Carter
and was held for further appearance,
no bond being required, however, as
he is already .held under a bond of
$1000 for his appearance before
Judge Carter In the investigation that
is to be begun next Monday.
The order for the seizure was maue
by Judge Carter, upon an affidavit
made by Sheriff Willams to the effect
that Mr. McMullen had on hand for
the purpose of sale more than one
gallon of such spirits. The order
was for the seizure of all fixtures, In
cluding empty bottles, barrels, glasses.
etc., necessary for carrying on the
trafTio In liquor, which might be
found In the drug store or the base
ment of the store.., , . .....
The liquors Beized Included about
200 bottles of assorted wines , and
whiskies, 60 bottles of brandy, be
tween five and six cases of cham
pagne, a barrel of sherry wlrie, part
of a barrel of port wine, 15 gallon
Jugs of corn whiskey, and gin and
other liquors In varying quantities.
No beer was found, although three
barrels of empty whiskey and beer
bottles were seized. One or two emp
ty whiskey and wine barrels were also
Included in the round-up. The keys
to the storeroom where the goods
were found were turned over to
Sheriff Williams, and he stated that
ev. rything seized will be moved out
and stored elsewhere some time to
day.
The seizure was made 'on the
ground that these Intoxicating liquors
were being handled by the drug store
illegally; that no one holding a license
to. sell whiskey on prescription has
been in the employ of the store since
August 2. The affidavit was made
under the new search and ' seizure
law that reduces the amount allowed
on hand from two gallons to one
gallon. ,
Since Judge Carter made his an
nouncement here a short time ago to
the effect that he expects to conduct
a thorough investigation Into possible
violations of the prohibition laws
here, the sheriffs and city police de
partments have seemed to vie with
each other in the work being done to
uncover any alleged violations, and
the seizure this morning came as a
total surprise.
Worcester, Mass., Nov. 21. A five
fold . Increase in the trade of San
Domingo has been-one of the bene
ficial results of the six years' opera
tions of the "Dominican convention"
under which the United States super
vises the customs collection of that
country, Professor Jacob Hollander of
Johns Hopkins university told the
Clark university conference on Latin
Americat oday. Professor-Hollander
was financial adviser of the Domini
can republic from 1908 to. 1910.
"The foreign trade of San Domingo
for 1911-12, the latest fiscal year for
which figures are available," he said,
aggregated nearly $20,600,000 as
compared with some $5,00,000 in
which year preceding the conven
tion. "Little short of a revolution so
cial, political and economic has been
wrought in the country. The people
of the island, protected from rapine
and bloodshed, are fairly on the way
to becoming a decent peasantry, as
industrious and stable as sub-tropical
conditions are likely to evolve."
Professor Philip M. Brown of
Princeton, former minister to Hon
duras, advocated a union of the Cen
tral American republics and urged
that the United States take the initia
tive in bringing it about.
Professor Hiram Bingham of Tare
and George F. Tucker spoke of the
Monroe doctrine.
Seems Certain That Marshal
and Revenue Offices Will
Be Transferred.
It Is the general understanding here
now that the office of United States
marshal for the Western district of
North Carolina will be transferred
from Greensboro to Asheville, and
that the office of the revenue agent of
the two Carolinas will be taken from
here to Salisbury. A final order of
the transfer Is expected to be receiv
ed now at almost any time.
The transfer of the marshal's office
Is to be made for the benefit of the
new marshal, Hon. Charles A. Webb
of this city; and as there would be
no room In the Federal building here
for the accommodation of this and the
other point with the possibilities in
favor of Salisbury, since it is the
home of Revenue Agent Thomas H.
Vanderford.
When asked about the proposed
changes this morning, Mr. Vanderford
stated that he does not know anything
about the matter except that he un
derstands that the marshal's office is
to be brought here. As to the trans
fer of his own office, he says it will
rest entirely with Commissioner 0.s
borne.

Durango. Col., Nov, 21, Hope for
a speedy adjustment of the Navajo
Indian situation In northwestern New
Mexico was expressed today by W. T.
Rhi'lton, agent at the Shiprock agen
cy. In a telephone conversation Mr.
Hhelton said that only a few Indians
were on Heautlful mountain with the
seven braves wanted In connection
with Indictments returned In ths fed
eral court.
He stated that In his belief the ac
cused Indians did not have the sup
port of their fellow tribesmen and
that their companions on Heautlful
mountain were endeavoring to Induce
them to surrender. i
. Today the -situation was quiet at
Shiprock, and Shelton was confident
the recalcitrants would yield without
teolstance on the arrival of General
H. I Scott nnd troops of the Twelfth

E
OF
Charles A Brown, colored, who
has been employed as a helper in
the railway mail service for the past
year or more between Asheville and
Union, S. C, is to be transferred from
this to some other run. The trans
fer papers have not yet been received
but Congressman James M. Gudger,
Jr., Is authority for the statement
that all arrangements have been
made for the transfer of the negro
at a early date.
Brown Is the only negro employed
in the service on any of the runs
from Asheville, and since he waB
placed here there has been a great
deal of complaint about the other
men in the serevlce being forced to
work with him. There have been
numbers of rumors to the effect that
he was to be taken off, but no as
surance from headquarters to this
effect has ever before been made.
Congressman Gudger took the mat
ter up some time ago with officials
of the department In Washington,
this step having been taken on ac
count of the great dissatisfaction
existing on account of his being here;
and in an interview with Postmaster
General Burleson, Mr. Gudger was
tssured that a policy was being fol
lowed out to segrtgate the negroes
employed in the service. Arrange
ments were made then to have
Brown transferrtd.
Although It has not been definately
stated who will succeed Brown, it is
understood that W. C. Pace, former
ly postmaster at Tryon and now
substitute mail clerk will be the man
This, however, Is not stated defl
natly.

Denver, Ool., Nov. 21.' Governor E,
M. Ammons received a telegram from
Secretary of Labor Wilson at Evans-
ton, Wyo., saying that he would arrive
here today and that his services would
be at the disposal of the Governor in
the settlement of the strike of coal
miners in Southern Colorado.
The executive was disappointed to
dpy b' the failure of a proposed con
ference between the mine operators
and the Union officials to discuss a
strike settlement.
"Until today I have been very san
guine that a settlement of some sort
could be reached, but I see no hope
now," said the governor. "I may even
have to ask the federal government
for aid. There is nothing left for me
to do but enforce the law, rigidly and
impartially."

guards and an automobile driver were
killed at Laveta recently.
This announcement so soon after
the establishment of a military com
isalon in the military district in
the military district by Adjutant Gen
eral Chase at Trinidad, has created
much excitement here.
Adolph Gerner, an active strike
leader, today called upon miners to
avail themselves of "their right and
duty to protect their homes against
the aggression of capital."

Nogales, Ariz., Nov. 21. It was
learned today from authoritative
sources that one of the principal rea
sons why the conferences here be
tween William Bayard Hale, Presi
dent Wilson's personal representative,
and General Carranza, the Mexican
lebel leader, were discontinued was
the failure of Carranza to give tho
American government assurances that
accepted rules of civilized warfare
would be observed by the constltu- ,
tionaUsts if they were allowed to Im
port arms and ammunition.
Sold He Was III.
Carranza, it is understood, was not
in a position to give these assurances
because of inability to control the
generals in the field. The first Indi
cation that the constitutionalists
could not meet this demand came, It
Is said, when Carranza absented him
self from the conference, giving ill
ness as an excuse. After his second
failure to keep the appointment Halo
refused to confer with subordinates.
Although Hale declined to accept
invitations from Carranza's subordi
nates to discuss the situation infor
mally after the general's departure,
he is said to have assured the minis
ters before he left for Tucson .thut
he would -meet -Carranza personally -'
anywhere if the constitutionalist lead
er so requested.
It Is said Carranza came to the con
clusion that he was making a politi
cal blunder by permitting the Mexi
can people to believe he would submit
to American dictation if he succeed
ed In defeating Huerta. This is said
to have lod to the story of the de
mand for Hale's credentials.
Rumors are heard here foa disa
greement between Carranza and Gen
eral Villa whWh threatens to disrupt
the constitulonallst ranks. ,
May Resume Conference.
Tucson, Ariz., Nov. 21. William
Bayard Hale arrived here last night
It Is understood that his conferences
will be resumed with General Carran
za, the Mexican rebel leader, if Wash
ington directs or at Carranza's re-
quest, but without the presentation
of credentials. Any further confer
ences, It is said, would be held at
Herniosillo.
Recruits for Carranza.
Chicago. Nov. 21. General Le
Christmas, soldier of fortune, has Just
completed a successful recruiting1
campaign here in behalf of General
Carranza, head of the constitutionalist
forces in Mexico, it was learned today.
Christmas left ior the border ljt
night wtih some of. his recruits and
the others followed him today, 19 :n
all. It Is said.
Christmas was liberally supplied
with money. He promised pay rang
ing from $200 to $500 a month, ac
cording to the experience and special
abilities of the men enlisted, and
bound his contracts by payments of
$200 and $300. Two of the recruits
who will receive maximum salaries
are expert telegraphers and all have
had some experience In warfare. 1
Funds for the recruiting campaign
are said to have come from American
capitalists whose Important interests
In Mexico have suffered severely from
the disturbances of the lost three days.
Among the recruits It was reported
that the capitalists subscribed $1,000.
000 to the Carranza chest.
