For this reason not more than booths are to be Installed in your district. "4.

If the Jefe politico finds that more than one-third of the polling booths in the district have been utll Ized he will omit the forwarding of a sufficient number of returns so that the chamber of deputies shall receive returns from more than one-third. "6. Complete liberty must be grant ed to citizens and political parties In Rll booths where votes are to be per mitted to be cast so that they may formulate protests of any description so long as the protests are against violation of the law by partisans of any of the candidates In the electoral contest, but In no case must such protest be allowed to Interfere with the object set forth In Part four of these instructions. . "7. If the examination1 by the Jefes Politico reveals that the returns do not correspond with these Instructions they will make whatever arrange ments may be necessary so that the returns shall correspond entirely with the said Instructions."

A resolution disposing of the split In the Brotherhood of Elec trical Workers recommended refer ence to the executive council. The election of officers, fixing for 3 o'clock this afternoon, was the en grossing topic. Second Vice President John Mitchell announced a year ago that he wished to retire from office. When he arrived in Seattle to attend the present convention he learned that a combination of conservatives had been formed to prevent him from naming John P. White, president of the United Mine Workers, as his suc cessor. Mitchell took small part In the con vention; but he campaigned for White so well that on Thursday night It was said he had promise of votes to give him control of the entire administra tion If he wished, including the choice of himself as president to suc ceed Samuel Gompers. Mitchell had refused up to today to discuss his position but It was known he was reluctant to displace Gompers and that he-had been asked to take the presidency at the 1914 conven tion. Ia the balloting John H. Wal ker, a socialist, held the 8708 votes of the United Mine Workers of Amer-. lea, onefflfth of tho total vote of the convention.

CODING JUSTICE Doesn't Care to Make Predic tions About Justice's Pos sible Candidacy. Special to The Gazette-News. Greensboro, Nov. 22. When asked about E. J. Justice's candidacy for the United States senate, Mr. Broad hurst, member of the firm of Justice & Broadhurst, said: "if Mr. Justice were not attending to special business foi the United States government he would be at tending to his own private practice; in either event the senatorial matter would not at this time be uppermost In his mind. That will keep, for there Is plenty of time to look after the sen atorial matter between now and next summer. There has be,en no 'dicker ing or trading about the senatorial matter. I heard Mr. Justice say that he had never had any communication with Senator Overman about his pres ent employment, or Senator Overman with him: but that Senator Overman and Senator Simmons, so he had been Informed, had spoken In compli mentary terms of him, and that he had no reason to doubt their sincer ity; further, that he appreciated the compliment. Of my knowledge, I know thatt he personal relations ex isting between Mr. Justice and Sena tor Overman have always been pleas ant, and I know that Senator Over man has always thought that Mr. Justice was at least a fairly good lawyer, as Is evidenced by the fact that he employed Mr. Justice to rep resent him In a lawsuit some time ago, which was of considerable inter est to Senator Overman. "I would not euro to make any pre diction as to his attitude toward the senatorial contest when it comes on before the people, because I do not know how agreeable this employment under the government may prove to be.

DE FACTO RULER OF JAPAN 50 YEARS AGO In Later Years Discarded All Pomp Voluntarily Abdi cated, Restoring Regal Powers. New York, Nov. 22. The death of Prince Keiki Tokugawa, announced in a brief cablegram from Tokio today severs a connecting link between the old and new Japan. None of the con temporaries of the premefji era if the days of the Shogunate enjoyed such distinction as hedged about Prince Keikl, "the last of the Shoguns." In these latter days of the era of enlightenment in Japan it Is doubtful If the average foreign visitor or even resident was aware of the unobtrusive existence of a man who barely BO years ago was the defacto ruler of Japan. In contrast with the unassailable dignity with which he sat as the lord of lords In the feudal days when it was a capital crime for ordinary folk to look the Shogun In the face and when he could scarcely stir a step without the observance of a hide bound code of solemn ceremonial the Shogun In his modern role of prince adopted such democratic simplicity that he rode about the streets of To klo almost unnoticed on a bicycle. ' As Shogun or the hereditary com mander-in-chief of the army, he vore the odd dress of the Samurai with "rrTg'-rnfe"p6Tectfens .over ilia i"enVuP ders and two swords, one long and the other short. Amid twentieth cen tury surroundings, living as. a some what retiring old man, he discarded all the pomp and even on state oc Vi sions appeared In an ordinary fro;k coat. , He told his exalted office as Sho gun for only 10 months In the year 1867-8. During the Shogunate ire ceding him Japan had enjoyed an un broken Interval of peace and tranquil ity for nearly three centuries. Efforts made by Emperor Mutsuhito to re establish the imperial authority led to such internecine strife that it threat ened to exhaust the nation's resources, and Kelkl voluntarily abdicated md restored the powers of government to the lmperiaPthrone.

Oxford, England, Nov. 22. Chan cellor Lloyd-George thinks it Impos sible now for the woman suffragists to.' secure the passage of a bill grant ing the parliamentary franchise to women in the British Isles as they have not a majority of the people be hind them and have not captured any political machine. He gave this re ply to three deputations which waited on him here this morning and broach ed the question of woman suffrage. Speakers for the deputation from the Oxford Men's Political union told Mr. Lloyd-George frankly that he, be ing in favor of votes for women, should wreck the government if It did not grant them the parliamentary franchise. . . Chancellor Lloyd-George replied that he was ready to do anything within the limits of party loyalty, to advance the cause of woman suffrage but "for the present he did not feel called upon to go beyond those limi tations. "The militancy of some of the wom en," said Mr. Lloyd-George, "has set public opinion in the British Isles against them and there is no use In trying to pass a woman's suffrage bill against the wishes of the public. "As to the forcible feeding of the hunger strikers, the only alternative is to allow them to starve and that Is counseled by nobody." Campaign Money Raised. New York, Nov. 22.

INTEREST CENTERED ON NAVAL RSITUATION Presence of British Ships Tak en as Evidence of Har mony Between U. S. And England. Washington, Nov. 22. Rear Ad miral Fletcher cabled today that the battleship New Hampshire had left Tuxpam to return to Vera Cruz. Tak en In connection with the pledge from General Aguilar, the Moxican consti tutionalist commander, that his men would not molest foreign property, the movement was regarded as evi dence of the restoration of order be tween Tuxpam and Tampioo. The Madero refugees were titms- ferred late last night to the , scout cruiser Chester from the battleship Rhode Island and the Chester sailed for Havana. With the full realization that there probably can be no immediate devel opments In a dlsplomatic ;ensa pend ing a clearing of the Mexican tai gle In which the Mexican congress has Involved Itself, Interest is now centered in the naval situation on the gulf coast In Perfect Harmony. The approach of two British cruis ers was communicated to the stats de partment through the British embassy without eliciting any expressions. of 'ETlsapTirovair and'tKat Is taken as an other evidence that the United States and Great Britain are acting In per fect harmony as to naval forces to protect foreign Interests. It is pointed out in naval circles that with German and French warships In the same waters there could be no ob jection to the presence of British ships. Unofficial advices from the govern ment agents in the sections of Mexico where the constitutionalists are oper ating suggest a revival of a plan to seek recognition from the United States for a defacto government claim ing Jurisdiction by right of possession: the establishment claiming Jurisdic tion by right, of possession; the estab lishment of a capital and of ah organ ized administration in all that part of Mexico north of a line drawn about due west from Tuxpam or Tampico. So far, however, the local constitu tionalist representatives here are un willing to admit that General Carranza would be satisfied with anything less than a conqjest of the whole of Mex ico and the elimination of General Huerta.

Mexico City, Nov. 22. The Mexican morning newspapers under govern ment domination published on their front pages today long articles re garding the alleged' intention of the United States government to recognize Provisional President Huerta in the near future. El Independlente had a sev column headline reading: "Huerta will be recognized by the American government. The special envoy of President Wilson able to prove anarchy was reiging n the camp of the rebels of the north." El Diarlo similarly displayed an item stating that Secretary of State Bryan had already signed a com munication recognizing Huerta. The same newspaper quotes Querido Mo heno, the Mexican foreign minister, as saying he has "no official know! edge," of the fact but that from pri vate sources he has received "very optimistic news and has hopes of an early adjustment," of the difficulties between Mexico and the United States. El Independlente at great length re lates that the failure of the confer ence between William Bayard Hale and Carranza, the constitutionalist leader, was due to the conviction of President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan that the rebel chief could not give assurances for the safety of the lives and property of foreigners. The newspaper continues: "President Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan after listening attentively to the report of their envoy decided that Provisional President Huerta was the only man capable of dominat ing the situation." . The same, newspaper assures Its readers that an official anouncement of the recognition of Provisional President Huerta Is expected "with in a few days." The foundation for the optimism of the Mexican press appears to be cer tain cablegrams received here by for eign business men describing the horror felt by President Wilson at the killing of federal prisoners when the rebels took Juarez. These cable grams were at first erroneously trans lated as referring to the killing of American army men there. E WE MUST GET FUTURE TIMBER SUPPLY Washington, Nov. 22. After the re maining virgin timber of the United States Is exhouated, forest supplies will have to come from national forests, state forests, or from privately-owned land: but federal and state forests, or from privately-owned land; but fed eral and state forests, according to E. A. Sterling, director of the American Forestry association, constitute only one-fifth of the total forest area of the country. "On private lands," he says, "the timber of the future will be either such growth which has sprung up vol untarily on cut-over land and has managed to escape fire, or that from areas which have been devoted to forest production as a business enter prise. So far the practice of private forestry has been mainly confined to small operations, often more for pleas ure than for profit An intensive for est policy on a scale large enough to establish Its commercial feasibility has not yet been undertaken. "Private forestry in the 'United States has ben retarded by many In fluences among which the more Im portant are large stored-up timber supplies, comparatively low stumpage and lumber values, lack of market for many minor forest products, and a public sentiment which has not real ized that forest production Is essen tially the growing of successive crops. "Present tendencies in private for estry Indicate a more logical develop ment than at any time slnoe forest conservation became an Issue. In stead of attempting to put Immedi ately Into effect complete policies and an Intensive management which are scientifically correct, the things now being attempted are the logical steps which will ultimately lead to system atic, long-time management of private forest lands. The private owner la learning that fire protection Is possi ble and that It pays. With this fact established, other things will be taken up and worked out until ha progres sive tlmberland . owner will find that he is practicing the kind of forestry which pays in this country. "In a word, private forestry, as It can be properly practiced In tho United States today, Is not the Inten sive forestry of Germany, but the ap plication of protective and close utili sation measures with provisions for natural regeneration. These princi ples, applied as economic conditions permit, will build up the art and prac tice of forestry la America."
