Huerta Reads, Message.

Mexico City, Nov: 21.-His face
showing none of the whimsical humor
which sometimes characterizes him,
President Huerta Thursday evening
appeared before the new Mexican Con-
gress and read his message Few
Mexican presidents have read at the
formal opening sessions of Congress
shorter messages and few have con-
fined themselves SO entirely to one
subject. 1t was nothing more than a
terse explanation of his motives for
dissolving the old Congress, most OF
the members of which are now in the
p nitentiary accused of sedition,
The Senate and Chamber Of Depu-
ties met in Joint session and Congress
was formally declared convened at
$3.50 o'clock. /.
President Huerta came to the Con-
gress through lines of troops and the
small crowds which gathered were not
demonstrative.
There were no extraneous frills to
the session. 1t was more in the nature
of little business meeting Of the
tpresident and the men converted into
lawmakers during the recent so-called
elections. The message General Huer-
ia bore to them was in its essence an
admonition. The incident he related
to them of the dissolution of the pre-
vious Congress was one by which II
was intimated they might be guided in
their conduct as congressman.
The reply of the speaker, Eduardo
Tamaris was brief. Not all the con
gressmen were present Twenty-sever
of them failed to put in an appearance
and most of these were members o.
the Catholic Party, to which Tamarii
belongs. 1t had been announced tina
the Catholic members had held a meet
ing and decided not to participate II
the session, and this gave rise to th'
baseless rumor that the speaker him
self would not preside

Z SPONGE; Ct;
DEsPAIRs OF AN AGREEMENT BE.
TWEEN VARDAMAN AND HIM.
SELF ON PATRONAGE.
PUTS IT UP TO ADMINISTRATION
Wants Officials to Proceed With Fill

Repeated Efforts of Senators to Get
Together Results In Failure.
(By Frank D. Lander, Jr.l

Wy Aohh ~. huhuOis olsJ
Washington, Nov. Ex-senator John
Sharp Williams has thrown up the
spongue with regard to the settlement
of the Mississippi patronage squabble
between himself and Senator Varda-
man. Despairing of repeated unsuc-
cessful attempts to settle the question
to the satisfaction of both senators, he
has told administration officials that
he wants them to proceed with appoint
ing men to fill vacant Offices in Mis-
sissippi.
81 am too good a Democrat" Sena-
! tor Williams said, "to want to keep the
situation tied up, and have asked the
administration to cut the Gordian knot.
| am also too good a Democrat to fear
the selections the present Democratic
administration is likely to make. We
have tried in vain to settle this ques-
tion ourselves, and it is time for the
administration to take action. I have
told them So"
In cases of this, kind it is the policy
of the Administration to appoint,
through the cabinet officers, Demo.
Gratis who are recommended by neith-
er senator. To appoint the nominees
of either senator would be a direct
slap IN the face to the other senator
and for this reason the administration
endeavors to select some good Demo
crat who was not nominated by either
of them but who is not overly objec
tionable to either of them.
The result will doubtless be that the
failure of Williams and Vardaman tC
agree on a division of the patronage
will cause both of them to lose al
their patronage.
Negotiations in writing are still be
J.. ing conducted between the two sen
ators,, but with small possibility o
: results.
The latest suggestion of a possible
solution came from Senator Williams
and was at once rejected by Senate
Vardaman While neither senato
would make public the details of thi'
proposed plan, it is practically certain
that Williams asked that he be allow
ed to name. both the attorneys ant
the marshal of the southern distric
and that Vardaman name the marsha
I of the northern district, and whateve
, patronage Mississippi gets out of tn,
!. income tax collectors, the port colleC
, tors and the customs collectors. Thes
offices serve for both Mississippi AM
Alabama and it is understood that Sen
ator Vardaman based his refusal q
the proposition on the ground tha
there is no certainty that Mississippi
will get any of this patronage.
Inasmuch as Alabama has only on
senator and he has failed to agree wit
President Wilson in patronage appoint
ments, it is believed Mississippi Wi
} get her full share of these Offices,
not more than half. But it is still
matter of conjecture and Senator VA
daman Is unwilling to forfeit his claim
on the attorneyships and marshalship

CLOSING DOWN
ATTORNEY GENERAL AND OIL
MILLS REACH -AGREEMENT-
GARNlS SHMENT DISMISSED.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 21-There will
be no general closing down of oil mills
in Mississippi as a result of the gar
nishmept feature of the antitrust suits
instituted by Attorney-General Collins
against the oil mills of the state, claim
ing penalties aggregating several mil
lion dollars.
An agreement has been reached be-
tween the department of justice and
attorneys representing the oil mills
whereby the garnishment proceedings
were dismissed, and the mills give
bonds aggregating $53O,OOO to cover
the products that were tied up by the
J original proceedings.
The situation was rapidly becoming
critical when this agreement was
reached, freight yards being congestet
with oil tank cars that could not be
sent to market, and storage facilities
for products at the various mills were
taxed to the utmost.
Despite the antitrust proceeding.
against the mills there has been a de
cided advance in the price of cottol
during the past week. Mill managers
however, say that this has resultet
from a general advance in the pric,
Of oil and other products, and not t
any fright they feel for Attorney.Gep
