FOREIGN MINISTERS SUMMON
COMMERCIAL HEADS FOR
CONFERENCE.
o'sHAuGHNEssY STAYS
DICTATOR HUERTA's CONGRESS
ORGANIZES IGNORES
WASHINGTON.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Mexico City, Nov. 1S.-The United
States will inaugurate blockade OF
Mexican ports.
This move of President Wilson to
force Huerta to terms became evident
when several ministers representing
foreign countries summoned the heads
of their more important commercial
houses and asked them for inventories
of shipments expected. This move
was made, it is said, on confidential
sired to have the commercial houses
in a position better to guard their In
terests.
The German minister, Admiral Won
Hintez, was the first to call in COM
mercial men representing interests in
that country, to lay the matter before
them.
1t Is said here, on authority, that
President Wilson would be content
with blockade, and might even per-
NIT the embassy to remain in Mexico
City until an open rupture occurred.
Organization of President Huerta's
new Congress was completed Monday
when enough senators were gathered
to form a quorum in the upper house.
General Francisco Pronces was
chosen temporary chairman of the
Senate.
There is nothing to indicate that the
formal opening of Congress next
Thursday will be postponed.
President Huerta talked informally
to the members of his staff and a few
personal friends regarding the possi-
bilities of Intervention by the United
States. He intimated that he would
be ready to resist such step.
Huerta resumed business at the ma
| tional palace apparently with no
thought of any questions pending be-
tween his government and that of the
| United States. He seems to regard
recent incidents growing out of
Washington's demand that he vacate
the presidency as closed.
Rebel Farley to End.
Nogales, Sonora.-Obstacles devel-
oped since the fall of Juarez have cre-
ated a feeling of encouragement here
| as to the outcome of the diplomatic
exchanges between the Mexican reb-
els and President Wilson's envoy,
William Bayard Hale. The parley be-
tween Hale and General Carranza and
the latter's representatives has
reached crucial stage. After a con-
ference with Hale, Foreign Minister
Escudero said he expected the nego-
tiations to end within twenty-four
hours but he would venture no pre-
diction as to the outcome.
Texas Ready to Fight.
Austin, Tex-"In the event Mexi-
cans start any trouble we will protect
our citizens and not wait for Wash
ington to act" declared Gov. o. B.
Colquitt after conference with Ad.
jutant General Hutchings. While nc
| official statement was given out, il
became known that the Texas Ma,
tional Guard is in readiness to an
swer quickly any call that might be
made. The conference was the out

tion, I studied the case carefully, reading every word of the record, in- cluding the evidence and the instruc- tions of the court, and 1 feel thor oughly convinced that no error was committed in the trial of the case. While 1 feel deep sympathy for the young man and his relatives, and the good people who have manifested an interest in his behalf, at the same time feel that the law was wilfully violated, and for the protection of the people I feel, as chief executive, that the law should be enforced
 One of the peculiarities of the case was the fact that during the delibera tions of the jury, and before they agreed upon verdict, all of them signed the following statement:
 "We, the jury in the case of Omer Davis, charged with the murder of Nellie Moneyhun, ask that in case the court passes the death sentence on the said Omer Davis, the Governor of the state of Arkansas commute said sentence to life imprisonment
 But not all of the jurors signed the petition for the communication, which sets forth that the defendant "has always been a strange, silent, mel ancholy and distant boy, avoided so- ciety and sought solitude, and exhib- ited many other signs characteristic of mental derangement, and that a sister younger than himself has ex- hibited similar signs of mental dis turbances." Davis is only eighteen year old.

OMFR DAVIS PAYS
 DEATH PENALTY
HANGS AT FAYETTEVILLE
GOV. HAYS DECLINES TO IN- TERFERE WIT HVERICT OF
 THE JURY.

Little Rock, Sept. 11.-Late We'd nesday afternoon Gov. Hays wired S. W. Caudle, sheriff of Washington county, at Fayetteville:
 Have decided not to interfere in Davis case"
 This means that Omer Davis, a young white man, will be hanged at Fayetteville today for the murder of his sweetheart, Nellie Moneyhun, near Springdale, last winter
 An effort was made to have the governor commute the sentence to life imprisonment, and Gov. Hays had granted one respite that he might more thoroughly look into the case. About 500 had petitioned for commit tation, while probably 500, led by w. [. Moneyhun, father of the murder ed girl, remonstrated The remon- strants said:
 ''In our judgment the evidence in the case showed Omer Davis to be guilty of a wilful and deliberate mur- der in the killing of Nellie Moneyhun, ard we feel that his sentence should rot be commuted to life Imprisonment, hut that the penalty imposed should be carried into effect"
 In discussing his reasons for declin frr to interfere. Governor Hays said :. q have received number of letters and telegrams from splendid people of Washington county, recommending communication, also remonstrances against granting communication. In addition to petitions received from both sides have also had parties call ne over the telephone and discuss the cese with me. 1 requested friend of she defendant to see if they could get the trial judge and prosecuting attor- ney to recommend communication, and in response to this request l was in- formed that the trial judge declined to recommend commutatiOn,' and the prosecuting attorney was in cam paign and could not be found.

The American Indian will soon ex- ist only in history. His extermina- tion has been gradual, but will be sure. He has gradually been driven from his happy home in the east to a few barren reservations in the west, where, by amalgamation, dissipation or separation, he is fast becoming ex- tinct.
 The Redskin has always been one
