SERIOUS SITUATION
FOLLOWS ELECTION
Mexican Liberals Claim De la Barra
Was Victorious, but Returns Are
Not Filed by Madero Faction.

Mexico City. Dec. "A serious sit
uation has arisen out of the election
held last Sunday for governor OF the
state OF Mexico. Although Francisco
de la Barra was understood to have
been elected, no election returns have
as yet been filed and the Catholic Lib
erals and independents. whose candi-
date he was, are angrily demanding an
explanation. The Maderista organ,
Neuva Era. tonight claims that frauds
were committed by the Catholics at
the polls, and contends that the gov
eminent has the right TO cali the cleo
ton OF.
The alleged naming of Flores Magon
for the Presidency by the revolutionary
junta at Ell Paso was wholly unauthOr-
lied by Magon. who. while anti-Madero.
to answer the statement by Gustave
Madero giving him the lie. He says
that when Madero gives an account OF
the 1000 pesos he received from the
government and clears his name. he
may become worthy to be noticed by
gentlemen
Great activity by the Zapatists is re-
ported from the states of Puebla. Mex
leo. and Morelos. Many towns were
threatened by the rebels to-day.
The government is now begging the
Catholic church to use its influence TO
restore peace to the country. Minister
of the Interior Hernadez is trying to
get the papal delegate TO induce the
priests to exhort their fiocks to be loyal
to the Madero government. The papal
delegate promised only to have prayers
for peace offered in the churches.

MAY OBSERVE PEACE SUNDAY.
international Bureau Plans for Ser
mons on December Is.

Preaching of a peace sermon from
every pulpit in the District on December
Is, designated as Peace Sunday" is
planned by the International Peace
Bureau
In a statement last night. Mrs. Belva
Lockwood, branch secretary of the
union and attorney general of the Amer
lean Woman's Republic. said:
THE fierce wars Of the past year be-
tween Italy and Turkey and between
Turkey and the Balkan states and
Greece. with their loss of life, woes Of
widows and orphans and hatreds en-
Gendered make a greater need than ever
for the teaching of peace.
Notwithstanding these serious trou-
bles. peace people should not be dis
Outraged. Good will come out even
from this. Long standing dissensions be-
tween those countries in the Far East
are being settled. and the war cloud that
has been hanging over Europe for the
last half-century is being dispelled.
During this period the United States
has been at peace with the world. 1t
has cemented its Union OF forty-nine
States: has established friendly relations
with twenty-one republics south of US.
o. nd has this year celebrated one hundred
years of peace with our neighbor on the
north"

WATCH KEY TO MYSTERY.
Dead wOman's TimepIece Sought in
Connection with Delay VIII Case.

Connection with Delay VIII Case.
Special Gable TO The Washington Herald.
/ London, Dec IA reward of $3.50 has
been offered for the wrist watch worn
by Mrs. Sidney Nowin. whose body
was washed up by the ocean at Corn
wall. Mrs. HOW'LL wore the watch when
she disappeared. The position of the
hands OF the watch, it is believed. will
tell if she lost her life before Jamcs
Delay committed suicide II she was
dead at. the time Delay hanged himself
in the hotel at Newquay the Codicil of
his will giving SljO,O00 to her is void. and
this sum will revert to his residuary cs-
tate.
The reward Stipulates that the watch
must not have been tempered with. Ii
the hands of the watch point to a time
near that which Mrs. HOW'LL left the ho-
tel it will he assumed that she died the
same day, and before he did. The posi-
ton of the hands may show that death
did not occur until some time the next
morning. in which case the contention
will be made that she died after Delay
and a legal fight will result for the $780,,
OOO
Delay hanged himself in the Atlantic
Hotel at NewQuay. He ended his life
after searching for Mrs. Nowill. who left
the motel some hours before him. Delay,
it has been learned, following the d.
vorce of Mrs. Mary Leslie Young from
Edward Young. of New York, married
her, and then killed himself because OF
his love for Mrs. HOW'LL, whose body was
found at the foot OF Newquay cliffs on
November IS.
Delay had been mentioned as core
spondent in YOung's suit for divorce. He
was a lawyer about thirty-four years
old. His wife is a handsome woman of
Spanish type about thirty years old.

CARNEGIE NOT GENEROUS.
So Says Wesleyan Professor Who
Lectures to Scientific Society.

Meriden, Conn. Dec. THE poor man
who gives and feels ii is more generous
than Andrew Carnegie. That opinion is
held to-day by Prof. Willard c. Fisher
former Mayor of Middletown and in
struCtor of political science at Wesleyan
University, who expressed it before the
Meriden Scientific Association.
Andrew Carnegie is not generous, ac-
cording to Prof. Fisher. and has never
done generous act i'm his life.
Generosity comes when the giver feels
the giving" said Prof Fisher. 1t has
been claimed that Mr. Carnegie was
worth $4,000, CO.," continued the profess
SCR. IF so. his recent gift of 900
was not generosity. Mr.. Carnegie has
said he would never die rich and in
tends to reduce his wealth to S20,OO0,OO0.
If Mr.. Carnegie should give away his
wealth down to one million dollars and
consider himself poor, he would not be
generous"
