Against American Residents

MEAlCO ClJ1. november f.-lne
aHti-American agitators in this city are
doing their utmost to cause a spread of
the hostile demonstrations against Amer
leans i'm other cities and towns of the
country. A printed circular, issued here
and signed by students of the various
colleges. makes strong attack upon
Americans. This is being widely dis
tributed over the country. The circular
says in part:
The telegra phic report relative to the
death of Antonio Rodriguez in Rock

fore the eyes of the public the cruel,
despotic. and savage nature of the Ameri-
cans against the unfortunate Mexicans

DISGRACE TO THE NATION
Army Staff Officer in Report Urges
Appropriation for New Building.
AS AN EXAMPLE TO THE STATES
Declares Proper Training of Militia
Should Be Conducted on
Business Basis.

The lack OF armory facilities for the or
ganized militia of the District is a dis
grace to the National Capital. according
to Col. E. NJ. Weaver of the General
Staff Corps Of the army. chief of the MI
litia division Of the War Department.
with the exception Of a very few
states," says Col. Weaver in his annual
report made public today, "the armory
facilities provided are inadequate. both
for storage purposes and for drill pur-
poses. The basis of the whole elementary
instruction and training of the organized
militia. involving the school of the SOL
dier, school of the squad and school of
the company. all the minutiae that go to
make the individual soldier well disci-
plined and familiar with his duties, must
take place in the home armories of the
company, battalion and regimental units.
No satisfactory results can be expected
to be obtained If the states consider that
the hiring OF halls, unoccupied storerooms
and assembly rooms for armory purposes
meet the necessities as to storage and
training.

CRUELTY IS ALLEGED
IN W|FE'S PETITION
Clerk in District Government
Asked to Pay $50 Monthly
AIimony.

Justice Gould today cited Edgar E.
Helm. een-hundred-dollar clerk
in the engineer department of the District
government. to show cause next Friday
why he should not be compelled to pay
his wife, Leona B. Helm, alimony of $50
per month.
The order is based on a petition for a
legal separation filed by Mrs. Helm
through Attorney f. L. Gies, in which she
charges cruelty. desertion and non-sup-
port. She tells the court of her marriage
December 2S. 1889. and that she has two
children. aged nineteen and thirteen
years
Mrs. Helm claims her husband has left
her on several occasions, remaining away
for periods of week. until upon her So
licitation he returned to his home. In
October. 1909, the wife says, he left her,
and has not since returned. She charges
that her husband was addicted to the use
of liquor and when drinking treated her
with systematic unkindnesS.

Consul Reports Tranquility.

United States Consul Moffat, at Blue
fields. in his latest report said that the
general situation is Tranquil and that
monetary exchange (Which has been
above 1,5OO is gradually declining, which
is regarded as most hopeful sign. In
view of this optimistic report the Of
hcials are at a loss to understand the
news of the reported revival of the revolt
against Estrada, though it is apparent
that the consul at Bluefields could scarce
1y be in close touch with the situation
at point SO far distant as Leon. which
was the last stronghold of Madriz when
he contested with Estrada for the presi-
dency.
Indications Of the success of the mis-
sion of American Minister Dawson to
Managua are reaching the State DepaI t.
ment from Panama. where the minister
has just arrived after a short detention
in quarantine upon his return trip from
Nicaragua. Acting President Estrada has
already taken steps to secure The holding
of constitutional convention that shall
provide regular and permanent form of
government for the republic.

Meeting Of Deputies.

A decree issued last Thursday calls for
a meeting Of deputies Of the constituent
assembly November q and % to arrange
for the constitutional convention to be
held in December. That convention will
provide for the election of a permanent
president and frame a constitution.
Nothing is said by Mr.. Dawson as TO
when the new president is to take up his
Office, but It is assumed at the State De-
partment that certainly not less than a
years time will be required to restore the
country to a normal condition and COM
plete the details of the transfer of power
from the present provisional government
to that to be elected by the popular vote.

Training a Business Matter.

1.-The proper training of the organized
militia Is a business question and 1t
should be met by all the states in a busi-
nesslike way. 1t involves the expenditure
of funds, and unless the states and terri
tories can arrange for an expenditure
adequate to the needs OF properly
trained organized militia, the effort 10
provide an efficient military state force
had better be abandoned. 1t is passing
strange that a people like our own, which
stands at the head Of the world In its
development Of business methods and ac-
tivity in regard to all civil and CONNER
cial occupations and lines, should permit
itself to drift along in such an unbusi-
nesslike way in matters military. espe-
cially as has been the case in many OF
the states in regard to providing suitable
and adequate armory facilities.
These remarks apply with special force
to the conditions which exist in the Dis
trict Of Columbia. The armory facilities
therein are entirely unsatisfactory and In
adequate for storage and drill purposes.
1t is urged that the department recon-
mend to Congress that an appropriation
be made for a suitable armory for the
militia of the District of Columbia. The
United States should set a good example
| to the states and territories in this mai
ter" lS.s~

Charges He Struck He.

rushed at her from an adjoining room and
struck her a severe blow on the side Of
the head, causing a great swelling and
sending her to bed for four days At an
other time. she AYERS, Mr.. Helm became
angry while they were in front of their
residence and threw her violently to the
pavement, injuring her spine. She de-
clares she was more or less lame from
this occurrence for nearly year and had
to undergo surgical operation.
Failed to Make Payments.
She says her husband agreed to pay her
$50 month when they separated, but the
1st of last month she says he failed to
make the usual remittance and has since
declined to support her unless compelled
by the court.

Conditions in the District.


Referring specially to the District OF
Columbia. Col. Weaver says:
"Armory for general use of all Distric'
militia is inadequate for this organization
in that there are needed more storage
rooms, more lockers for equipment and
Office. An additional building two blocks
away is utilized for part Of the medical
property.

off from the latter and serves as store
rooms for company property not actually
issued to the men. The lockers are
placed one above the other and are abou,
two feet wide. All Of the men of any
one company cannot dress or undress
at the same time. The companies OF
these two regiments assemble weekly by
battalion for instruction and are as

built on modern plans is essential to
proper instruction. and it is urgently
that immediate steps be
taken to provide one.
Colored Battalion Quarters Worst.
1.-THE conditions attending the armory
facilities of the 1st Separate. Battalion
(colored) are even more deplorable. The
basement set aside for drill purposes is
scarcely large enough for a full section
and the storage and office facilities are
wholly inadequate, there being single
small room for each company, which
serves both as dressing room and office.
Each company has in addition small
locker about six feet square in the base
ment for storage of surplus property.
"Signal Corps and battery Of field ar
tillery have just moved into the new ar
mory, but as yet have not been supplied
with lockers and shelving for the proper
storing Of uniforms, equipment, ihstru-
ments and material.
The armory is in many respects an ex-
cellent one and the improved quarters
ought greatly to Increase, in the future,
the efficiency of these organizations"

MILK ORDINANCE MUST Be
CHANGED BEFORE It CAN
PASS SAYS MAYOR
Dr. Rhodes Will Fail in Effort to Secure Ordinance
Not Providing for Proper Inspection of Diaries.

There will be some other minor
changes in the ordinance and it
will be ready for passage by the
city council Wednesday morning.
The new bill has also been sub
mitted to Miss Allstrum, the pure
food inspector. She asks that a
section be incorporated that will
require each COW from which milk
is furnished to have a clean bill
Of health from the milk and dairy
inspector, showing it free from
disease. The COW must be tested
once a year.
In addition Miss Allstrum asks
that a graduate licensed veterin-
arian be required for milk and
dairy inspector.
The statement in the Times
Saturday on the milk situation
has stirred the city from Bismarck
to Point and the people
are backing up the movement for
the best that can be given in the
way of milk and dairy inspection
and whether it helps or hurts DR..
Rhodes they are lining up for
competent inspection and a grad
uate, licensed veterinarian inspec-
tor.
With this provision in the or
dinance it will then be. up to DR..

mately entitled to the credentials

misunderstood, as they are print
ed in such a manner that many
men not entirely intelligent on
the subject will perhaps not vote
at all, and wrong If they do.
Apropos of this ignorance, Mrs.
Mason told the story of intelligent

One day she asked the old man
what he thought about women

NEW YORK. Nov. Sin spite
OF the first snowfall of the sea-
son, voters began arriving early
at the polls today and it was pre-
dlcted that the heaviest vote in
New York s political history
would be cast. Cold weather and
continued snowfall failed to
dampen the ardor of the voters
and up to noon a steady stream
of citizens poured in and out of
the polling places or stood and
talked politics.
Although interest was keen.
netting was exceptionally light.
In Wall street 1t was asserted that
not more than 100000 in all had
been wagered on the outcome.
Such bets as We're recorded were
at odds of 21a and to /, with
Dix the favorite. Even money
could be had that he would carry
the state by $4,000 plurality and
most of the betting was along this
line.
Followers of Stimson look for.
a close race. Col. Roosevelt an
nounced soon after the polls
opened that Stimson would win
by 1900.
The democrats still claim that
DiXs plurality would be at least
100, 900.
Chairman Prentiss of the re-
publican central committee last
night issued a final call for finan-
cial assistance. The appeal de-
.clared that democratic victory in
New York today will mean that
the democrats will carry the state
for the democratic presidential
candidate in 1912.

RITZVILLE, Wash, Nov. s.
Because Miss Josephine Pittman,
a pretty school teacher on Rattle
snake flat, spurned his love, Pat
rick Collins, a raneher, last night
shot and killed her, and then tried
to kill himself. The bullet was de-
flected by a rib and the physician
says he will live.
The murder was a brutal one.
The terrified young woman was
alone in the house where she lived.
Collins returned yesterday from
Spokane. He went at once to the
home of Miss Pittman, presumably
to again urge his suit. She re-
fused, it is supposed, and the mur-
der followed. The bullet from the
crazed mans revolver entered the
abdomen and death was almost
