HUERTA'S CABINET

FROM C0UNTRYMEN
Federal Reverses Officially
Announced AS Glorious
Victories.
DICTATOR NEEDS CASH
Increase in Taxes and Duties
on Mail Order Goods
Ordered.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 24.-Every, ef-
fort within their power is being uti-
lized by General Victoriano Huerta,
the dictator, and his cabinet ministers
to conceal from the Mexican public the
disastrous straits of the government.
The defeats of the federal forces in
the field are turned into glorious vtcto-
ties in the "official' announcements
and the explanations accompanying
drastic financial relief measures are of
such character as to make it appear
that they are being taken for the good
of the populace.
General Banquet speaking for his
chief, declared today that the govern
ment is confident JuareZ will be re-
captured by the government forces
within a week. The papers, which are
under strict censorship, received this
information from minister of war:
General Villas rebels were defeated
at Samalyuca, state Of Chihuahua and
were in retreat when they received re-
Inducements from Juarez."
Battle Is Raging.
General Banquet declares that an
other fight is going on about thirty five
miles south of JuareZ.
The dictator. who must raise money

alton 1t was said at the national pal
ace that a bill increasing duties on all
mail order goods has been prepared
and will be put up to congress togeth-
er with other measures designed to in
crease the revenues.
General Huerta was much elated at
the ovation he received at the bull
fight which he attended Sunday after
noon. If the dictator intended to give
the impression that there were no
threatening dangers hanging over his
government and his authority he
was mistaken.

The Relation of the Church TO the
Community" was the subject of a talk
by S. Edgar Nicholson at the First NJ.
E. church last evening. The address
was in the nature of a stimulator OF
interest in the Honeywell evangehsic
campaign.
Mr. Nicholson rehearsed the many
things the church can accomplish for
the uplift of the community, such as
assisting in the campaign against the
licensed saloon and various other civic
evils.
He also touched upon the social side
of the work of the church, together
with its greater mission, that of saving
souls. In conclusion he urged upon
his hearers the desirabiiity OF the va
rious churches lending their united
support TO the Honeywell revival cam

The Good Fellow movement to
bring Christmas cheer to the worthy
poor of the city, which was inaugurated
by Richmond lodge of Elks few years
ago, has no been placed on such an
effective working basis that this year
the lodge will not have to depend upon
other charitable organizations, such as
the Associated Charities, Salvation
Army and Penny Club, for lists of the
deserving poor families to whom aid
should be given.
The Elks' lodge. through the efforts
of individual members appointed to SUI
pervise this work. now possesses an
accurate list of all people deserving
of the helping hand, and this coming
Christmas the lodge is prepared to dis
tribute the largest number of Christ
mas gifts ever collected by any organ
izatiOn in Richmond.
This aid to the poor will be entirely
practical. for no time is to- be wasted
in the distribution of useless gifts,
and so complete are the arrangements
for this distribution that the commit

warning the city officials of the dan
ger which confronted the public.
Although the discussions at the
board meeting were long and spirited
no understanding was reached on the
question involved and despite Mr.. Con
dos protest against Richmond's prac
tice of bringing every public utility
question before the state commission
il appears quite probable that such &C
tion will be taken in this case.
Mr.. Bond and the board members
expressed themselves as in favor of a
reasonable" deposit or guarantee sys-
tenn for the l.. II. & p. company, but
what will constitute a reasonable
rule promises to be a question that
only the state commission can deter
mine.
Mr.. Krick stated that it was regard
ed as very important to thoroughly
protect natural gas companies from
loss because the margin of profit was
very small and that to make a profit
company had to depend upon
large volume of business.
The average bill for artificial gas
is about 81" Mr.. Krick stated. but
from now on the natural gas bill for
the average user will substitute his
coal bill. II will be used in furnaces
and CRATES and stoves in a large mum
ber of homes which formerly used
coal, so the risk OF loss to the company
will be much greater now than when
| it served only artificial gas"
Points to Ohio Law.
He pointed out that in Ohio the Fos.
ter law. which has never once been
contested, Mr.. Krick said, requires all
gas companies to accept cash deposits
or guarantees from all non-property
holding people.
! Mr.. Jessup to place further empha-
sis on the alleged necessity of extend
ling thorough protection to the l.. II.

ice on which the margin of profit was
very small. stated that il the company
made any money off such a service IL
would be the first time in it's history
that it had been engaged in a profit
! able business.
This statement evoked a hearty
laugh from Mr.. Study. but Mr.. Jessup
heatedly exclaimed that il any one
doubted his statement he could pro.
duce the evidence to substantiate IL
We have filed a complete record OF
our business affairs with the state
commission which bears out just what
/ have said, and If this record is not
true we can be held liable for per.

tee in charge of the work knows just
what each family on its list stands
most in need of.

If the smallest boy in one of these
families needs good sweater to pro-
tect him from the gnawing winds of
winter, that sweater will be in the
Christmas basket, which some Good
Fellow" Santa Claus will carry into
the house. These baskets, besides con-
tanning clothing most needed by the
various members Of a family, will have
in them enough good things > pro
vide a most appetizing Christmas din
ner and a few other meals on the
side.
Members of the Elks' lodge are now
subscribing to a fund which Will be
used to purchase much of the food
and clothing to be given the poor, and,
as usual. a great amount Of these"sup-
plies will be contributed by the lodge
members. A few days before Christ
mas volunteer Santa Clauses will pack
the baskets. and when this work is
done the baskets will occupy all the
available space in one of the largest
rooms in the club house
The gifts will be distributed in auto
mobiles of the lodge members. Each
auto driver will be assigned a special
crew of distributors, and when they
report for work early Christmas morn
