are becoming menacing.
The efforts of Huerta to secure funds
to pay the awnied interest on . tha
National Railway bonds are regarded as
a demonstration of the effect of the
American attitude on foreign capital.
Mexico City, it is believed is almost
iaolated from the northern half of
Mexico.
Halt communications are still open
between Laredo and Monterey, but mail
and telegraph can't go south beyond
- the latter point except to Saltillo.
Fearing the close of the avenue of
escape, the Americans in Monterey are
reported to be crowding the trains "for

RADICAL CHANGE
Developments Make Neces
sary a New Policy of
Management
Haleigh, Nov. 21). Called here in spe
cial session today on account of neri
oui developuicnts as to tho linaneial
condition of the instit 11 tioii, tlie. board
of directors of the North Carolina Stata
prison declared for a radical change in
the policy of the management to avert
an impending deficit of large proportion
aud tor seeking changes in the distri
bution and employment of the convicts.
The meeting Was called because the
S-tatc treasurer had discovered that a
defect in the act providing for tho con
struction of the Statcsville Air Line,
Statcsville. to Mount Airy, relieves the
State treasurer from crediting the
State's prison with cash face value for
certificate!) of stock in the Stiatcsvillu
Air 1,'uie for convict l:ihor. Up to tha
tjmc the defect was discoveri'd .in the
act of a (my days ago something like
t5.(M0 in cash IimiI bei'ii credited out
of tile State treasury to the prison for
Stafesvillu Air Line stock. NV'heii. the
disiovery was iii.idu all this back cred
its, was charged ogninst the prison agviin
and the prison authorities notified that
no more credits-scould be allowed, und
that,,tliisi eonstruetion work, must be
done .by the piisou without any crcttit
benefit from the State, the prison to
hold the stock for wliatever it could
realize out of it in future.
This charge against. the prison of the
Statcsville Air Line stock leaves the
ppis-on with a deficit of $lff.."iOS it this
time and a prospect and pnactical assur
ance, if the present policy, is maintm:n
ed,of a deficit of not less than Trobab
ly $40,000, December 1, 1914. The pri
son assets for the next year, ineludiii2
cash credits for convict labor in i-ail-road
construction through eertilicates
of stock, und all outstanding solvent
credits, is Jpl 1 ,MT. while the estimated
i xoenscs of the prison are $202.-150.
On account of these conditions the di
rectors declared throuirh resolutions
adonted, the following policy:
That the superintendent Is directed
to curtail operations at the State farm
for the next year'-to one hundred 'able
bodied convict 1 together with the infirm
population of the mison, only crops that
