Established Soon.

By Associated Press,
Mexico City, Sept. 16--In keeping

annual message such praise as he
'uld Of the last days Of tho old re-
and reviewed the history of his
Of office. note Of optimism
... through the entire message.
As the president viewed the situa-
tion, the late revolution had not I'M
paired the revenue Of the nation TO
any great extent, and he holds the
belief that 1t will be but short time
before the prosperity Of the country
will be far more marked.
Notwithstanding the abnormal con-
ditions through which the country
has passed in the last four months
Of the fiscal year" said President De
La PARA, "the federal revenue did
not decrease, but on the contrary,
there was shown an increase. The
increase at the customs houses was
l,7GO,0 pesos over that Of the cor
responding periods Of last year" He
stated that other departments of rev.
enue had also shown an Increase.
Tht question Of contract labor
which has been said by many writer's
to have resulted in condition Of
practical slavery, was dealt with. The
president assured congress that there
soon would be submitted for his sp-
prOval a plan for the establishment
of a bureau Of labor.

COURT ACTION EXCITING.
1t is Criticised and Two Chclseans
Cited for Contempt.

Claremore. Okla. Sept. 15.-As an
outgrowth of the dismissal OF court,
and the talk Of the judge to the law
and order people at Chelsea Wednes-
day, considerabl excitement has re-
suited. A case had been tried against
Cap Lane, a druggist who admitted
on the stand that he had sold the
liquor charged, 80 per cent alcohol
and 10 per cent OF something else.
The judge was dissatisfied when the
jury returned a verdict OF not guilty
and told the assembled people that
he did not propose to show one man
favors and stick another with no bet
ter evidence.
Chelsea has been making a great
deal Of noise about law enforcement,
and did not seem to take advantage
OF the opportunity to enforce II. He
heard some further evidence on the
case on trial, then took Il out OF the
jury's hands. instructed a verdict for
the defendant and dismissed court.
After court was over and the talk
being made, II is charged. criticisms
were made on tho county attorney
and Judge which were little strong.
AS a consequence, two prominent clti-
zens Of Chelsea were cited for con-
tempt Of court, the information
against them charging that they said
the whole matter was a frame-up be-
tween the Judge and county attorney
to try Lane first, knowing he was
not guilty, and that when the jury
returned such verdict. II was only IN
accordance with their plan TO turn
the rest OF the docket loose that the
Judge made the talk he did The
parties cited to appear here today for
contempt are DR. Caldwell and NJ. s.
Runyon, both prominent citizens Of
Chelsea.

FRISCO BUILDING TO
BELT line JOINING
PERSISTENT RUMORS GIVEN
CREDENCE THROUGH LATE
DAWSON OPERATIONS.

Persistent rumors that the Frisco
Is to build a freight cutoff from
Dawson 10 West Tulsa, via the Mid
land Valley bridge, have gained prom
incnce the past few days by reason
of the work being done on the three
mile spur from Dawson into the coal
fields. Gangs of workmen are now
busy laying new ties and steel on the
spur, which will enable the heaviest
of engines to pass over the three
miles of track.
1t is said that the Frisco will extend
this spur, the remaining four miles,
to the Midland Valley bridge across
the Arkansas, and thence across the
river to connect with what is known
as the Belt Line road at the Texas
refinery, where connections could be
made on the A. V. Il w. line to the
main line Of the Frisco.
BY means of this cut off the heavy
grades on the main line will be avoid
ed, and all through freight trains can
be handled much eaSer in this way.
Whether this is the intention of the
Frisco, Is at yet problematical, but
railroad men believe that this is what
will result.
The Frisco has Just completed put
ting in a railroad scale at Dawson,
which will be great benefit to the
coal operators there, as they have
heretofore, had to depend on a wagon
scale, which at best was always rath-
er uncertain. The many improve
ments being made by the Frisco at
Dawson are expected to prove a stim-
ulus to the coal operators in that
field

this city on the reciprocity matter. IT
is very generally felt here that IL it.
carries it will prove decided help.
to the manufacturing world In the.
eastern part Of the United States. :
Colonel Isaac M. U1lman, president
Of the chamber Of commerce, was OUT.
spoken in his opposition to the PEI
tition to President Taft to call an ex--
ira session of congress. He believed
the president was well able to Judge
whether there should be a special ses-
sion, and was perfectly willing to rest
on the presidents judgment The
colonel did, however, say he was in
favor of the reciprocity agreement
with Canada.
The reciprocity matter seems to be.
favorite business idea in New Ha--
ven. Many Of the business men of
the city were somewhat reluctant to-
sign the petition because of their be-
lief that The president is trying to do
his utmost il carrying out both Of
the ideas indicated above, but on the
other hand many were anxious to put
their names down as expressive of the
trend OF public opinion in regard to-
those two subjects.

New Haven Business Men
in Favor of Reciprocity.

New Haven, Feb. 1O.-That there is
a strong feeling among New Haven
business men and others who are
thoroughly in touch with the general
economic situation as applied to the
cheapening of the cost of food and
clothing, and that there is also
strong belief here in the necessity of
carrying out the terms Of the propos-
ed Canadian reciprocity agreement, is
evidenced by a canvass made among
prominent citizens in this city.
The canvass covered representative
men of all classes, members of the
chamber Of commerce, bankers, brok-
ers, attorneys and men of affairs gen
orally. The idea as applied to both
matters was to gain an expression of
public sentiment as to petitioning
President Taft to call a special ses-
sion of the new congress in March to
consider the first named proposition
anyway and the second if it is not
acted upon at the present session.
There is a very lively interest ex-
pressesd in both OF these matters in
