COURT HOUSE. PLYMOUTH,
Mass, Oct. 29.-That the Eaton MUIR

pected Defense Attorney Morse Se-
gan an argument today ON behalf OF
his client, Mrs. Jennie May baton,

Mrs. Eaton confdentl yexpected ac-

limited Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-How to
eliminate Huerta as factor In Mex
ican affairs without recourse to armed
force was the problem confronting
President Wilson today. For the first
support Of the great world powers.
The agreement OF France, Germany
and Great Britain not to interfere in
Mexico was admittedly far more po-
tential than appears on the surface.
It means that these not only will
await the declarations of peace by this
government but also that they will CO.
operate in any feasible scheme pros
posed which will wipe out anarchy and
restore. order. The president is con-
sidering an ultimatum directed to
Huerta demanding he retire immed-
lately 1t is believed here that the
rowers will uphold him in his de-
mand. Huerta can hardly disregard
it as the purse string can be drawn
by financiers who have been supply
ing cash.
Revolutionary activity was on the
increase according to today's consular
advices. Fighting was reported from
dozen points, both sides claiming
the advantage. Felix Diaz will be
placed on an outward bound steamer
by Admiral Fletcher at Vera Cruz
II is thought here that he will decide
tc go to New York although he prob
ably eventually will reside In Paris
Fletcher's forces will be augmented
Sunday by the fourth division OF the
Atlantic fleet, comprising the fagshiI

GATES DEATH HAS
EFFECT ON CHANGE
Mexican Petroleum, Of Which He
Held Big Block, Drops Seven
Full Points.

NEW YORK. Nov. 1-Mexican Pc
troleum was again today the most SEN
sationaI mover of the list on the Stock
Exchange. At the opening II was one
point below, the close OF yesterday at
5s. and seven full points below the
price at 2:55 o clock yesterday afternoon.
or five minutes before the close Of the
exchange.
A further drop occurred in the first
half hour of trading. bringing the price
to 81, after which 1t recovered to IS, and
then dropped to 5e1z. at which 1t closed.
Mexican Petroleum was moving whole
points as compared with eighths on
most of the other issues, ana the only
explanation advanced was that Charles
G. Gates had owned large block Of
the stock. and that this, in view OF the
Mexican situation. was being sold with
the idea of substituting some securities
less liable 20 suffer should war occur.
The recovery was not remarkable
in view of the fact that at 54 the stock
yielded about Is per cent on the in
vestment, coupled with stories In A.

the company.

SALON SHOWS
AMERICAN INVASION
Cars From the United States
Exceed in Number Those of
Other Countries.

Another strong indication that Ameri-
can automobiles are gaining a foothold
on the European market Is noted in the
large representation OF Yankee cars
exhibited this year at the Paris salon.
America led the foreign contingency
with twenty-four exhibitors, and was
followed, respectively, by England,
Italy. Germany, and Belgium. This
condition is striking commentary on
the development of American-made
cars, which only few years ago were
looked upon by European motor car
engineers as inferior to European pro-
ductions.
Although European car builders We're
several years ahead of the American
makers. the present popularity of the
home product abroad indicates clearly
that the American manufacturers have
not only caught up. but in many in
stances forged ahead of the European
makers in several points of construc-
ton now finding favor abroad.

Sothern Brilliant in
Merchant of Venice

1t was highly satisfactory presenta-
| ton of what probablysis the best known
and most popular of Shakespeare
plays, THE Merchant of Venice" that
, was given by Sothern and Marlowe 81
! the Belasco last night Tic large and
responsive audience was proof that this
old favorite had lost none of its charm
and those who saw it for the first time
as given by such capable eyponents OF
Shakespeare as Mr.. Sothern and Miss
Marlowc must have the feeling that
never before were the splendid possibili-
ties CT the play revealed to them.
Mr.. Sothern's INSTALLATION of Shylock
Is convincing and brilliant. In the
scenes wherein the money lender has
lost his daughter and his precious ducats
and in the court, where. torn by con-
fticting passions. he is cheated out OF
his coveted revenge. Mr.. Sothern Is at
his best. In other scenes he shows adj
fnirable restraint.
Miss Marlow's Portia isl charming.
She gives to the role vivacitg and win
one of the most loyables of Shakes
peare's women. She is particularly
happy in her description to Nerissa, of
her numerous suitors, and again in
the scene in the courtroom, when. her
plea for mercy unavailing. she resorts
to clever strategy to save Antonio from
the clutches of his willy enemy, who in
sists upon his pound Of flesh, as NOM
mated in the bond
Frederick Lewis is happy in his i'm
personation of Bassanio. and the role
of Antonio is satisfactorily taken by
Sidney Mather. John S. O'Brien, in
his brief strut upon the stage as the
Prince of Arragon, succeeds in making
an impression in his quaint role. George
W. Wilson makes a capital Launcelot
Gobo. and the roles of Nerissa, Jes
sica and Gratiano taken by Miss Helen
Singer. Miss Mil!icent Mclaughlin, and
Lark Taylor are in good hands.
The settings and costumes are elab-
crate, and the Venetian atmosphere of
the time of the play is scrupulousiy re-
produced.

societies for the purpose of establish

particularly for promoting Ford fel-

great that there has been talk in some
quarters of forming a national organ

With every Ford owner eligible to such

To Stop Punctures,
Put Felt in Tube

To protect the inner tube from pune
lures place strip of heavy felt about
half an inch thick between the outer
case and the inner tube. The felt should
be wide enough to project slightly be-
yond the thread of the tire and should
be cemented in the center with a good
quality of cement in order to secure
proper adhesion to the lining of the
fabric of the case The edges, however,
should be left free. The felt. after be-
ing in use some time, becomes very
compact, and affords an excellent pro-
lection for the inner tube from tacks
and other sharp substances.

BANKS PAY EXEMPT
COUPONS IN FULL
Income Tax Payments, Feared
As Troublesome, Made Easy
For Customers.

Holders of bonds in the District of
Columbia, because of courtesy of the
local banks and financial institutions,
encountered little of the trouble they
nave been reading about when they
deposited their coupons for collection to-
| day.
At practically all the banks the fol-
lowing was the proceeding: The holder
| presented his coupon, with a statement
as to whether or not he was entitled
! TO exemption. If he claimed exemption,
he merely filled out the necessary state
ment. whereupon the bank paid the
amount OF the coupon in full. This was
a relief to many bondholders, who
thoughtthat they would not be able
to collect their cash this morning. bu
would have to wal until he bank "col-
ieced the coupon, and even then would

William ]. Flather. vice president of
the RIGGS National Bank, pointed out
TO depositors that they did not even
nave TO produce an AFFIDAVIT in order
TO get the full face value of their cou-
pons, and all that was necessary was
TO anlrm that they were entitled to the
exemption. This, of course saved no.
tary fees. In the case of a person hold
ing bonds in several different corpora
tons this saving is important.
II oIi the oIHeT HdIlu, tne uepOSltOr OF
the coupon admitted that no exemption
applied to this particular source of in
come, the amount of the Government in
come tax was deducted by the bank.
and the remainder of the cash paid
over.
In case OF the disallowance of an ex-
emption claim the bank which has
cashed the couple will seek compensa-
ton from the customer, precisely as in
the case of q discounted draft which is
not honored by the dTawee.
The local market was a little weak
this morning on most of the prices,
excepting Mergenthaler Linotype. on
which issue bids of 21T for small blocks
had no tffect. Even in quotation lots
none was offered under 217S, while
I65s was bid for quotation lots.

Twenty shares of Union Trust sold

ington Gaslight sold, 10 at SAY and 10,
at S4Z.
Trading in Capital Traction was pc

was passed, without quotation, and OBJ
lection was made to returning in order
to establish quotations. After the call
