Mexico City, Jan. 29.--According to
the Mexican Herald, trade war on
q large scale is soon to be fought In
the republic of Mexico, the contest
ants being the Standard Oil Company
and the firm OF Dr. Pearson G. Son.
Limited. The former concern now
controls the oil business of the repub-
lie, but for number of months the
English Arm has been buying up land
and sinking wells. They have spent
$15.000,000 in development work al
ready and indications point to the ex-
Eenditure OF much larger sum by
them.
The English concern has big re-
finery at Minatitland. Vera Cruz. with
a capacity of 5000 barrels per day al
NEST ready for operation, and scat
tered throughout the whole of the
southern part of Mexico are its cap
ped wells.
In various districts which have
been guarded strnuously from prying
eyes and which are said to be more
than capable Of supplying the daily
capacity of the big refinery as we'll
as the small one of 500 barrels erect
ed as an experimental refinery about
IL months ago. 1t is found that be-
tween 500 and 1000 barrels daily is
now sufficient to supply the needs OF
the republic and as the Minatitland
refinery will greatly exceed this
amount. the Pearson company will en-
ter the export field as well as becom-
ing factor In supplying the needs of
the republic of Mexico. This com
pany now has 10000 barrels of oil in
tank storages.
One of the sharpest weapons in the
fight In this republic is the fact that
1t has no duties to pay, while the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company pays
abo1t 5h cents per kilo import duties.
Experiments. according to reliable re-
ports, with the Mexican products as
put out by the the Pearson people,
show that this company can produce
large quantities of Illuminating and
lubricating oil. as well as gasoline,
benzine and naptha.

NEW ELECTIONS in PERSIA
shah VIII Issue Decree Sunday Dis
solving PRrIihment-General
Amnesty Proclaimed.

TEHERAN, June H.-The shah of Prussia
will issue a decree Sunday dissolving Par
lament and ordering new elections for the
assembly and senate which he will open
in state three months hence.
A general amnesty has been proclaimed
and there Is no longer any anger Tor the
refugees in the legal contest.
Prince Meid Ed Dowleh, who has been
appointed governor general of Teheran, Is
gradually restoring order. There was no
disturbance last night nor today. Patrols
OF Persian cossacks suppress all attempts
at demonstration and are systematically
disarming the people.
Public opinion appeared to be steadily
augmenting in favor of the shah, who is
in almost continuous conference with his
ministers at the palace with a view of de
vising measures to guarantee order.
BERLIN, June 26.-The Lokal Anzeiger
today prints a dispatch from Teheran say
ing that among the refugees in the British
legation there is Takizsdeh OF Tabriz, one
Of the best and most highly educated speak
ers Of Parliament. whom the shah desires
especially to arrest. The shah therefore
has caused the legation to be surrounded
by a company of cossacks. The British
minister sent his governments protest
against such surveillance as an unprece-
dented Insult and demanded the withdrawal
OF the cossacks by 6 O'Clock this evening.
All Of the legations with the exception OF
the German and the Americans have re.
ceived refugees.

SLEEPER TO HASTEN HOME
state Department Viii Take No
Action Until He Returns to
United states.

WASHINGTON, June 27.-Jacob Sleeper,
the secretary of the American legation at
Caracas, who was summoned home by this
government because of the dissatisfaction
OF the administration with the manner in
which the Castro government has been
dealing with the interests OF citizens of
this country, has reported his arrival at
Willemstad to the Department of State.
Mr.. Sleeper announces that he is ready to
proceed to the American naval station at
Guantanamo, and arrangements will be
made today for sending the Marietta there.
Mr., Sleeper will remain at Guantanamo
only long enough to catch a steamer on his
way to New York. going by way of Glen
fuegos and Havana, Cuba. with a grim
sense of humor, in view of the conditions
under which he left Venezeula, Mr., Sleeper
suggests to the State department that it is
an impractibility for him to proceed to New
York from Willemstad, as the first steamer
leaving for New York goes by way of Port
Cabello, Venezeula, which place he had just
left. Mr.. Sleeper's dispatch adds that
Military Attache Ruggles and family, after
undergoing quarantine presumably at
Willemstad) will proceed to Washington.
The officials of the State department feel
that on personal interviews with Mr..
Sleeper they will be better informed as to
the attitude of President Castro.
1t is believed here that President Castro
will not be willing to permit the present
analomous situation to continue indefi-
nitely.

GIVING A CHINA SHOWER
Novel Plan Of Surprising the Bride
to-Be with Delicate and APP
Dreciated Gifts.

For a china shower the table oenterpieoe
should be made of summer flowers. Above
the table suspend a pretty white parasol
or a japanese umbrella with several small
japanese umbrellas IDOL size) attached to
1t. each with a name card tied to the ham
die. Each guest should be requested TO
write an appropriate sentiment and send
with her gift the day before. Fill a largo
Japanese umbrella with confetti and
puffed rice, tying the ribs tightly to the
handle, and then hang 1t in the doorway.
Have the bride-to-be stand under this and
tell her to unite the broad white ribbon.
This will release the ribs and she will re-
ccive a liberal shower of gay confetti and
rice. Then the shower of presents begins.
Have the bride hunt for some OF them.
The search may afford great amusement
by having the presents hidden In all sorts
of funny places. Have some of the parcels
delivered to her by messenger. Place one
or two in her hat. others In her wrap and
so forth. Plenty of other amusements viii
be found in reading the sentiments and
sdmiring the gifts. A unique way /f Civ
ing bread and butter plates and cups and
saucers is to use them on the Luncheon
table.-what to Eat.

Although apparently perfectly sane, John
Wilmington, who escaped from the state
hospital for the insane at Mount Pleasant
a week ago and was recaptured in Lincoln,
Neb, was taken back to the institution
last night. Wilmington was brought TO
Council Bluffs yesterday afternoon from
Lincoln by c. b. Zellers. a deputy sheriff
OF Lancaster county and turned over to
an officer from the Mt. Pleasant hospital.
Wilmington was a miner employed in the
coal mines at Brazil. a small town near
enterville. He was sent to the asylum in
December, 1906. He has a wife and three
children, two of the latter being now cared
for by his sisters. who live in Lincoln. 1t
was his desire to see his children that
induced Wilmington, so he said, to make
his escape from Mount Pleasant, although
he insists that he Is now and has been
for the last ten months. perfectly sane.
While in the sheriffs office here Whit
tington appeared to be perfectly sane and
while not criticising the authorities in the
least, said he thought It hard that he
could not be permitted to go free. He
said he had intended after visiting his
children in Lincoln to seek work in the
mines In Colorado so as to be able to pro-
vide for his family. His wife, he said,
who had their youngest Child with her,
was forced to work to support herself and
little one in Centerville.

Of Mind saves Life.

Presence of mind and strength Of his bi-
ceps alone saved Edward PRAISE, a hostler
employed at the Union Pacific roundhouse,
from serious injury If not death in the
transfer yards yesterday morning, PRAISE
was about to step onto the footboard OF an
approaching switch engine, when his foot
caught in a switch frog. Realizing If he
stopped to attempt to extricate the i'm
prisoned foot he would be crushed under
the wheels OF the locomotive, PRAISE
caught a firm hold of the supports of the
footboard of the engine and held on like
grim death while the engine pulled his
imprisoned foot through the switch frog.
A stout shoe probably saved the foot
from being crushed, but it was terribly
lacerated. the tendons strained and the
ankle severely sprained. PRAISE was re-
moved to the Edmundson Memorial hospi-
tai and 1t will be some time before he will
be able to use the injured member again.
PRAISE lives at 250 Sixth avenue.
