SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Nov. 49,
There is no truth in a report that arm

Springs, Texas, where the Mexican
Rodriguez was recently burned at the
stake.
A telephone nleFsage from Sheriff o.
c. Pope, of Edwards county, today
stated that he has an armed force
ready to meet any hostile movement
that may be made by Mexicans.
Everybody is on guard and not a
Mexican is in sight," is the way he de-
soribes the situation.

THE PRICE OF MEAT
DROPS DOWN WITH
COOLER WEATHER
SUDDEN FALLING IN QUOTATIONS
ARE REPORTED OVER
COUNTRY.
STOCK ON HOOP ALSO LOWER
Dealers Attribute the Break to Enor-
nous Corn Crop, and the Agitation
Against High Cost Of Livlns-Many
Call Move a FURRY.

NEW YORK, Nov. 15.-Reports
from various parts of the country in
dicating a fall in the price of meats
are reflected by similar reports from
local dealers. They say the decline
has already begun, the wholesale
price of beef having gone off on an
average of &c in th elast week.
One of the leading dealers said that
sirloin steak that had sold for 24c a
pound was now selling at 22c. Porter
house steak he said was down &c
pound, selling now at 25c. Fresh pork
products, however, show the greatest
decline, the market dealers selling
cuts for roasting at 18c a pound that
have within short time bee nbring-
ing 22c. Lard is down &c pound, the
price yesterday being 1Sc. The best
grades of hams and bacon on the Con-
trary, sho whardly any change. This
is accounted Cor by the length of time
it takes in curing. The dealers say
the stocks of cured meats are very
light and it naturally will be some
time before the increased production
oil hogs offsets this condition.
The market men attribute the re-
lief from high prices to the enormous
corn crop and the consequent low
prices of the cereal. Low prices of
feed, combined with the pats high |
prices of pork, they say, have resulted
as was expected in an increased rails
ing of hogs.
NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 15-Beef and
pork prices are lower ON the New Or
leans market than for many months.
There has been a drop in the price
Of beef steaks within the past ten days
Of from &c to &c. Fresh pork Is sell
ing at tic and 18c, decline of &c.
Secretary Perrin, Of the New Orleans
Live Stock Exchange, said the de-
,rease in beef prices was temporary
md due to the increased receipts of
i've stock, whereas the reduction in
)ork will continue. Chicken and tur-
Key prices are off from &c to DC, com
Jared with year ago. Fresh eggs are
quoted at &c, nickel lower than last
year. >

ENDORSES SAN DIEGO Imperial Valley Towns Give Adherence to Southern city's Projected
 Panama Exposition.

Imperial Valley citizens believe that their interests would be served by San Diego proceeding with it's pro- iect of holding Panama Exposition in 1915, and this week this senti- ment has crystalized in expressions by two Chambers of Commerce and one citizens meeting.
 On Monday night a meeting of cit izens was held in the lobby of the Hotel Calexico, at Calexico, and the matter was discussed. The sentiment was expressed that if San Francisco continues in it's attempts to wrest from the southern city the Panama Exposition, it will be the means of widening the breach between northern and southern California and will tend to increase the sentiment for State division.
 The directors of the Imperial Cham Der of Commerce met this week and endorsed the San Diego exposition project by strong resolutions, and on Tuesday afternoon the directors of the Fl Centro Chamber of Commerce adopted resolutions as follows:
 "Whereas, it is a well known fact that controversy has existed be- tween San Francisco and San Diego as to the location of an exposition celebrating the completion of the Pan anna canal, and
 Whereas, it is equally known that San Diego, without outside assistance has secured something like one-half million dollars toward defraying the expenses of such celebration before any move was taken in San Francisco looking to that end,
 Now, therefore, we the Fl Centro Chamber of Commerce, by it's board of directors in session, unanimously resolve,
 That Santa Barbara or any other city taking action as Santa Barbara did, seemingly lends hand to politi- cal interference wholly selfish, and in behalf of San Francisco entirely, and without consulting all parties to the controversy, would be acting in man. nel to be deeply deprecated by he" sister cities. Such action by any city will not be countenanced or consid- cred binding or a satisfactory adjust ment of the differences.
 Whereas, the commercial organi- cations of San Francisco have de- clared for holding an exposition in that city in 1915 to celebrate the open ing of the Panama canal, and
 Whereas, the city of San Diego having raised nearly $5OO,OOO for her 1915 exposition before the northern city entered the field, be it therefore
 Resolved, by the Chamber of Com aerce of the city of Fl Centro, county seat of Imperial county, by its board of directors in session, that we unanimously endorse the city of San Diego as the site of the exposition: first on the question of justice and fair play, and secondly because of the southern city's splen- did endeavor in financing the great project without outside aid
