FAULTY CONCESSIONS
 ARE NOT VALID

Mexico City, October 17.--Companies or individuals who hold faulty concessions or who have been remiss in fulfilling their obligations according to law may have an unpleasant time under the administra- ton of Francesca I. Madero
 q have to state" says Madero, that my recent declarations to Lord Cowdray concerning the attitude which my govern ment would assume towards the oil con- sessions granted him under the adminis- tration of General Diaz were limited to an assurance that if said concessions had been granted in conformity with the law and if the concessionaire had com rlied with al 1.-the obligations those of the new government would respect them.
 "I have made no declaration in re- spect to what would be my attitude in case the said concessions would have been granted in violation of the provisions of the constitution. As is your opinion, I only added that l would oppose the formation in Mexico of all kinds of mo- nopolies or combinations tending to limit competition in trade"

CLAPP DENOUNCES
 PRESIDENT TAFT Campaign of Progressive
 Wing Opens LORIMER IS ATTACKED Point at Issue Is Veto of Arizona Statehood Bill-Terms It Abso-
 lute Despotism-Others
 Criticised Also

Chicago, October 17.-Bitter criticism or President Taft marked the opening here tonight of the campaign of the progress sive element of the republican party, as it styles itself, to nominate Senator Rob- ert NJ. IaFollette as the republican cah- d'date for president
 Senator Clapp of Minnesota brought the denunciation of President Taft to it's sharpest climax after Senator Craw- ford of South Dakota had been inter- rupted by dissenter in the audience and had been forced to quit speaking by the assistance given him by his au- dience in quellng the one man insur- rection.
 Calling the chief executives action in tne Arizona statehood matter the "black- est chapter in all tryranny outside of the absolute despotism of an unbridled Eing,' Senator Clapp said in part
 NOW whether you believe in the re- cal. or not, I think you will agree with me that it is not for you to say wheth- CT the people of Arizona shall have the recall We had this question up in Con- gress. We said the people of Arizona must vote on the question again, and whatever way they voted they would be allowed to come into the union. And the President of the United States vetoed that resolution and one that was passed ,'roviding that the people of Arizona must vote again, but must vote against the recall though they can put it into their constitution after admission.
 "A fine lesson this was to teach the people on the threshold of their admis- sion into the union.
 "What do you think the disembodied spirits of those men whose bones lie noldering on the battlefields of the re- public would say if they could realize tEat the price of admission to tfiis union was a stultification of the electorate of the individual state?
 T want to say that this is the blacllest chapter in all tyranny outside of the ab- solute despotism of an unbridled king. And remember, whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. <"
 Senator Crawford, George l.. Record Of New Jersey and Senator Clapp likewise were speakers.
 Senator Lorimer came in for attacks by all the speakers. The South Dakota senator called him the product of jack potlsm The meeting was closed by Sen ator Clapp's attack upon MT. Taft par ticUarly with an argument against the Presidents position on the recall of the judiciary.
 The senator called the judiciary sys- teJn a legislative and executive branch of the government as it exists now "which can make laws as it sees it and repeal them at it's lesure.'
 Ho beheld in the judiciary a greater power of menace to popular government than the legislative branch and declared that if the recall is valuable at all it is Eeeded to defend the composite people against factors of too great power.
 "If it will cause judges to keep their car to the ground" he said. "'and base their. courses upon prospects, they will do it now and the sooner we get rid of that kind of judge the better off we are"

TANGLED AFFAIRS OF
 CARNEGIE TRUST

New York, october 17.-Tangled affairs of the defunct Carnegie Trust company were aired again today when the state supreme court took up an indictment charging William J. Cummfns of Nash vile, formerly chairman of the exec utive committee of that institution with grand larceny This is the second trial resulting from the investigation of the Carnegie Trust company's affair, Joseph B. Reichmann it's former president, hav- ing been convicted last June of making a false report to the superintendent of banks. :. The charges against Mir. Cummins arc mere serious. He was indicted on three counts for grand larceny, based on note transactions involving $335,O00. The prose- cution, however. will rest it's case on only the one charge that on April 23, 1910 Cummins borrowed s1i0,O00 from tho Nineteenth Ward bank, ostensibly for the Carnegie Trust company, and converted it to his own use.

Scandal in Baseball

In "The Right and Wrong of Baseball, v in The American Magazine for October Hugh S. Fullerton tells of the ethics Of the national game. Some things which might be considered unsportsmanlille in other sports are allowable in baseball, but there are some things which are be- yond the pale. MT. Fullerton writes
 The New ork American League club created a scandal only recently by steal ing signals, using {. rather clever device. There was q sign on the centerfield fence and tlie letter II was prominent in it. The cross bar of the II was movable. i.i,d behind the sign man with field glass As siSnaled the batters by turning the oar.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-10-18

The scheme worked for time-but suen trickery cannot endure long. The man employed to steal the signals happened to be a friend of Hughie Jennings, and lie had an intense desire for the Detroit team to win the championship. So when the Tigers visited New York, the man behind the wigwag system explained it to Jennings saying the system would not be used to beat Detroit but would be used against other teams. Instead of trying to profit by this favoritism, Ien- nings warned the Washington club and scattered the word through the Americ in league. The result was the exposure or the stealing system and scandal that e. suited in orders forbidding any such trickerv under penalty of expulsion from baseball"

The Value of Weeping

From the Detroit Free Press
 Mrs. E. H. Hartman, at a dinner in New York, said of the begging letter nuisance:
 ''l am overwhelmed with begging let ters. l received 1000 begging letters. before l started my recent western trip Is isn't unusual for me to receive 100 begging letters a day.
 Most of them are from men. Wom- en have finer. bolder spirit than they used to have. The clngiug, babyish type of woman is disappearng-the type of woman, l mean, who writes boz. eing letters, and who, is married, has for her motto:
 Laugh and the world laughs with Nou; weep, and you get what you want"

Washington October 1.-The Amer ican consulate at Hankow is believed to be fully protected against mob at tack, for half of the personnel of 320 men aboard the three American gun boats Helena, Fl Cano and Villa Tobas, now at that port could be landed upon any emergency
 Officials here express anxiety to know the circumstances of the land ing of German sailors at Kankow and whether the mob had committed acts of violence within the American con cession which extends along the river banks.
 Outbreaks within those limits under Washington instructions would make 1t imperative for Captain Knepper of the Helena, the senior American com mander there, to land and cooperate with the Germans in defense of the concession.
 Several thousand Chinese troops have reached the outskirts of Hankow while troop trains are carrying thousands more to the scene of the revolutionary rising in Hu Peh province. Eight Chinese ships of war and 10 or 12 foreign warships have assembled off HanlSow Advices re- ceived here say Wu Chang, where the rebels are in force, will be bombarded probably on Saturday.
 The German foreign office at Berlin reports tne receipt or auNlceS rom Ean- kow saying German bluejackets coop erating in the International landing movement, participated in the mob at tdcks. The American legation here was informed by Consul Gilbert that the fall of Ranking Is imminent. Kai Fun, the capital of Honan. is reported to have fallen into the hands of the revolution iSts.
 Following the American example, Italy has ordered that a contingent 6 blue jackets be made ready to reinforce the italian legation at this place.
 The acceptance of the viceroyalty of Hu Peh by Yuan Shi Kai has in a measure restored the confidence of the government which predicts the rapid suppression of the rebellion.

BAT NELSON WHIPPED.
SAyLOR HIS MASTER
Danes Ambition to Come
Back" Spoiled by Hoo
sier Scrapper.

Boston. Mass. Oct 4.-You Saylor
of Indianapolis put the kibosh on Bat
Ting Nelson's ambition to come back"
in fierce twelve-round battle here
last night Saylor earned the decision
he received, and but for the great stay
ing powers-ef the Battler, a knockout
would have been the result.
Nelson opened up with his boring in
tactics and clinches. Saylor inlmedi-
ately brought into play a spectacular
right hand wallop. With his shoulders
hunched. he would meet Nelson toe to
toe, swing his right over on Bats kid
neys, and like a flash, whip the same
hand back underneath and catch Nell
son in the stomach. This blow he used
repeatedly during the mill and it prov
ed the Battler's undoing.
right uppercut that would bring
sleep to most figl -ers was uncorked re-
peatedly by Saylor. but the Battler re-
fused to be knocked out. Saylor dane
ed all around Nelson and had the Bat
tier at sea most of the time.
The Indiana boy also showed left
hook that was a sumner. 1t was like
the kick of a mule. and 1t tore through
to Nelson's face repeatedly. The Bat
tier was in distress throughout the
bout. He showed his old staying quail
ties but not his former lighting vim
In the infghting. where the Battler i.
at his best, Saylor outfought him al
the way.
