MEXICO CITY, Nov. 1s.-Admiral
Paul Won Heintze. the German Min
sitter, called resident German merchants
and business men together, telling them
that an American blockade of Mexican
three days.
The minister took the names of all
merchants importing goods directly from
Europe and the United States and also
asked for inventories of such shipments
as were expected to arrive in the i'm
mediate future. This was done, he said,
for the purpose of enabling the mer-
chants to get their goods through the
blockade If possible.
A rumor was in circulation here to-
day that General Blanquet was plan
ming an armed uprising to depose HUI
erta, since the latter was unwilling to
resign.
A prominent politician said that he
informed General Banquet several
days ago of this rumor, and that the
minister Of war then went to see HUI
erta, accompanied by his informant. He
told the President of the report, say
ing that he did so in order that Gem
eraI Huerta might know the stories
which were current and act as he saw
fit
Many prominent railway men and
others who are considered well informed
regarding possible developments are
sending their families to Vera Cruz.
This is causing considerable alarm in
the American colony. The manager of
a Mexican railroad went to Vera Cruz
on a special train carrying many wom-
en- and children whom he haU advised to
leave.

Proposal Condemned.

Mr.. White said the commission had
condemned the proposal to dam the st.
Lawrence at the Long Sault Rapids, as
opposed TO Canada's interests, as un-
necessary because of lack of available
market for the 10000 horsepower and
as dangerous TO navigation. The bills
introduced at Washington and Ottawa
were defeated.
He declared that the Canadian COM

lustration farms at various places
throughout Southern Canada The com-
mission supplies the illustration farmer
with extra seed, pays the difference in
cost between common seed and best
seed, and pays him an extra cultivation

Chatelards laugh beat back her
words like bludgeon-
Liars, all liars!" he cried. Il might

But Chamberlain was impatient OF
all this. And now, Monsieur Kidnap-

man here. And you can't go one min

Engltshmen never do. Got another Of

Before Chamberlain could make re-
ply. or before the sheriff and his pris-
oner could get to the door. there was
the chug of an automobile. A sec
ond later urgent and loud voices pene-
trated the room, first from the steps.

hearty voice of a man, the other was

attention of everybody in the room
was drawn outside.
When Chamberlain had told Chate-

yard, it happened to be the truth: now.
excited by fear of the strange machine
that had just arrived, the horse. with
flying bridlerein. was snorting and
prancing on his way to the vegetable
garden. 1t was almost beyond mascu-
line power to resist the impulse Of pur-
suit. Aleck and Chamberlain sprang
through the window. the sheriff went
as far as the lawn after them. and in
that instant Chatelard slipped like an
eel through the open door and out to
the gate to Straker's machine, still
chugging. The sheriff saw him as he
jumped in.
Hey, therei" he shouted, and made
a lively run for the gate. But before

HOnolulu's street traffic is daily becoming
more eongested. And with the rapid increase in
the number of autos in the city, the municipality
must either legislate intellgently for present and
future traffic or continue sacrificing lives
There is not an hour in the day when automo-
biles are not whirling past street-cars on every
line in the city without the slightest regard for
the safety of the public. The turn from King
street into Kalakaua avenue is fayorite spot
for autos to speed up and dash around in front
Iof passing ears. But that is not the only spot.
There are hundreds of others, each one separate
and constant menace.
Mainland cities have taken up the 'full STOP
provisions and made auto-drivers observe it.
Then, when an accident of the kind happens, JUS
tice does not need to depend upon the doubtful
ability of the authorities to show violation of
the speed law.

fees.

Therefore. there is no Republican
candidate to oppose Knudsen and the

At the same time, the fact that the

Senators Penhallow of Maui and
George Hewitt of Hawaii and Repre-
