AMERICANS IN DANGER IN MEXICO
Unless Our Government lnterferes
Quickly a General Massacre May
Occur There.

San Antonio, Texas-"Unless the
United States interferes in Mexico
while there is yet time, the govern.
ment will have lot Of dead subjects
to ask indemnity for. There is need
for quick and decisive action"
This statement was mode by Dick
L. Younger, capitalist and mining
man, just returned from Monterey.
Younger says conditions now are UNI
bearable for Americans in Mexico and
whenever one appears on the street
he is subjected to insult and scorn.
The feeling is intense and will mani,
fest itself sooner or later in a general
massacre Of American residents, un.
less the government takes some de.
cided action.
Americans in Mexico live in daily
fear of their lives, and look to the
government to help them, but are
unable to get word Of the true condi.
tons to this country, owing to thu
press censorship.

Oklahoma City, Ok-No other
city in the world ever witnessed such
warfare as is now being presented
daily in Oklahoma Citys newspaper
fight. Six daily newspapers are now
being published each putting out
innumerable editions. A majority OF
them are free.
For several years a free daily news
paper has been published in Okla
homa City known as tht Pointer. 1t
started as small sheet and has
grown to be publication of size. Be
ing circulated free, it is not sent
through the mails, but copies are sent
by express to surrounding towns. Re-
Gently the owners of the Pointer an
nounced that they would begin the
publication of morning edition.
A free evening paper was at once
started by the Oklahoman, in opposi-
ton to the Pointer. The new evening
paper is called the Free Press and is
distributed on the streets and sent by
carriers to every home in the city.

MAY REGULATE COLD STORAGE
Senate Committee Will Recommend
Inspection of Products Going in
and Out.

Washington, D. C.-Senator Hey
tee on manufacturing, is working up.
on one of the most important reports
which will be made at the winter ses-
sion of congress. This is the finding
of the committee inquiry into the cold
storage conditions of the country.
1t was learned that the committee
report would follow in general way
the recommendations by DR.. Harvey
w. Wiley, chief of the bureau of
chemistry. His testimony served as a
basis for the investigation. This
means that the senate will undertake
to regulate the inspection of products
going into and coming out of cold
storage warehouses.
II has been shown by the testimony
before the committee that frozen food
products begin to decay almost i'm
mediately after having been thawed,
and it is possible that provision will
be incorporated in the bill providing
that cold storage food be deemed
adulterated if not sold in the frozen
state. The same provision as to the
storage of eggs is being considered
that will govern the storage of poul-
try and fresh products. 1t was said
that the maximum period for the stor-
age Of eggs will be less than for other
products.

TO MEET IN OKLAHOMA CITY
GOV. HASKELL CALLS SPECIAL
SESSION OF LEGISLATURE.
The Proclamation States That Public
Welfare Prevents Meeting
in Guthrie.

Guthie, Oklahoma.-Gov. Haskell
came here by motor car and remained
just long enough to issue proclama-
ton converting the Legislature to meet
in extraordinary session at Oklahoma
City at noon, November 2S, to locate
permanently the capital of the state
The purpose of the session is to affirm
by legislative enactment the capital
removal, which the state supreme
court recently declared was void
In his proclamation Gov. Haskell
said:
by reason of the necessity to per-
manently determine and settle the To-
cation of the state capital, and to carry
out the expressed will of the people
as declared in said election, an eX-
traordinary occasion exists within the
meaning of the constitution requiring
that the legislature be conyoked in
special and extraordinary session. In
my opinian the public welfare re-
quires that said extraordinary and
special session shall be convoked at
Oklahoma City"
In not calling the special session to
meet at Guthrie, which the state SUI
preme court says is the seat Of state
government, Gov. Haskell acts under
a provision of the state constitution
which says that he may convoke the
Legislature at or adjourn it to another
place, when in his opinion the public
safety or welfare, or the safety or
health of the members require it..
The condition is imposed, however,
that such change or adjournment
shall be concurred in by two-thirds
vote of all the members elected to
each branch of the legislature"
