least one state official appeared there

that his alone would prevent any con-
tract being entered into with The Is
sue, as 1t is alleged it would be vio-
lation of the statutes to give any con-
tract to any firm in which any state
officer was financially interested, or
had been within one years time.
The board of contracts is composed
of Secretary of State J. w. Power,
Attorney General Ross A. Collins, Sec.
retary of Agriculture H. E. Blakeslee,
Superintendent of Education ]. N.

1t is probable that several days will
elapse before the awards on the bids

Mississippi and other states submitted
proposals to do the state printing for
the next four years. The total amount
that will be expended in that period

Washington, D. c., Oct. 1S.-Senator
Vardaman, who at first opposed con-
siderating of the currency bill at this
session of Congress, has changed his
mind and is now urging that the bill
be passed as soon as possible. He be-
lieves it should become law not lat
er than November 25.
The Senator has given out a state
ment on the subject, and while he did
not go into discussion of the various
details of the measure, he urges that
the measure be passed as soon as prac-
ticable. His statement is as follows:
"At the beginning of the session
rather thought it best to finish the
tariff bill, take recess until November
and then take up currency. A differ
ent course was pursued. The curren
cy bill was introduced. 1t has passed
the House. The country is looking fol
and demanding some remedial curren

Washington, Oct, 1S.-Reports of ru-
mors of the death plots against Felix
Diaz, and the attitude of foreign gov
ernments which have already recog-
nized Huerta and some which are re-
garded as sympathyZers of the posi-
ton of the United States served to
make the Mexican situation more COM
plex. There were no important de-
velopments today.
John Lind has reported from Vera
Cruz indications of General Huerta's s
intention to resign the provisional
presidency.
Mr.. Lind has advised the president
that if the information that has come
to him is reliable the United States
may be called upon indirectly to indi-
cate whether it will recognize or open
negotiations with Huerta's successor.
Apparently various names are being
suggested, and acceptability to the
American government, it is thought,
might influence the final choice.

Assumes Entire Blame
For Killing His Wfe

Chicago, Oct 1s.-William C. Ellis,
the Cincinnati leather merchant who
was found wounded in a hotel room
here Thursday, near the body of his
wife, confessed to the coroner's jury
that he had killed the woman. He
was held to the grand jury, charged
with murder.
After a conference with members of
his wife's family, Ellis abandoned his
assertion, made at first to the police,
that the tragedy was the result of a
suicide compact. He assumed the en-
tire blame for the killing and devoted
his statement to obliterating the I'M
preston given first, that jealousy was
the motive of the crime.
Ellis, suffering from a bullet wound
in his chest and from cuts on his wrist
, and throat, self.inflicted after killing
his wife, listened almost all day to thu
testimony in the coroner's court. Hi
