STANDARD OIL SAID
TO BACK REVOLT
Huerta Officials Accuse an
American Company of
Bribery.

NEW YORK, Sept. PA Washing
ton dispatch to the New York Ameri-
can says:
Officials of General Huerta directly
accused the Standard Oil company of
financing the Madero revolution, OF at
tempting to bride Huerta and of de-
claring that the present revolt would
continue until the provisional presi-
dent met the oil company's terms.
These accusations were based on
the following dispatch from Mexico
City to Huerta's aids in this city:
"A wealthy land owner in the state
of Jalisco makes sensational declara-
lions regarding the part played by the
Standard Oil company in Mexican
events since the incipiency of the Ma
dero revolution. He declares that
while in San Antonio the Texas Stand
ard Oil manager for the southern dis
trict of the United States told him
that until the Standard Oil should OBJ
tain complete possession of Oil wells
in Mexico revolutions would continue.
That is the reason the Standard Oil
supported the Maderists and opposed
Reyes movement.
THE Standard Oil offered to pre-
sent the Mexican government with a
100000 900 loan on easy terms, al
most at par besides making assurance
that the Huerta government would re-
ceive immediate United States recog-
milton. The representative of the
Standard declared his company con
trolled the United States senate.
1T offered also to pay tax of 1912
cents a barrel on oil instead of cents,
The tax paid by British companies, the
principal of which is the Aguila Oil
company.
The Standard Oil representative
declared his company would not rest
until Mexico has the president and
government it wants.
He said he believed the present
government de jure and de facto, but
unfortunately it has not accepted the
Standard Oil terms"
When the Madero revolution first
started officials here declared that the
cources of the rebel funds would be
found in Wall street, but no investiga
ton was ever made there.

Club today. There is no reason why
the people of Wayne county should not
demand greater protection from this

victims in this community annually"

times more deadly than smallpox, re-
ceive no such solicitous attention from
the health authorities" said physi-
clan today.
"If it is necessary to isolate small
pox cases why is it not vastly more i'm
portant to isolate tuberculosis cases.
He then produced records to show
that tuberculosis kills more people
~ually in this county than any eth

Llese records show. the grim white
plague claims a victim in Indiana.
The death toll from this scourge in
Wayne county in 1911 totals forty-five
In 1912 there were fifty-four deaths
from this disease, an average of one
death to every four cases. The 1913
death list will be the greatest in the
history of the county.
$50 Sufferers.
At the present time, physicians eS-
innate there are $50 people in this
county suffering from tuberculosis.
CAS- you will see by the records
ninety-nine people have died in Wayne
county the past two years from tuber-
culosis. This wholesale sacrifice of hui
man life has attracted little or no at
tention from the general public said
the physician. Suppose ninety-nine
people had died from smallpox in two
years. 1t is easy to forecast what the
result would have been. In the first
place there would have been rigor.
Gus quarantine established, there would
have been a general panic and bust
ness would have been stagnated.
But the ravages of a disease ten
times more dangerous than smallpox
are calmly ignored. l tell you it is
high time that some plan of action to
combat this plague be formulated"

Rev E. G. Howard don't believe
that turning from our church work

Rev. s. W. Traum. of the First

Voters Must Tell Politics.

The Lddell general election bill
which was passed after stormy ses-
sion has several new features al
though in the main it is but reclass-
ification of the old law, so that it
may be easier to read and under
stand. The new features consist in
the rule that voters must dis Hose
their politics when they register for
the primaries, and then when the
Judge of election shall give them u
ballot of the party to which they be-
long according to the book. That
will mean separate ballots but will
not necessarily mean the disclosure
OF the political faith OF the voter to
public in the same way as il he were
required to walk in and ask for q
certain ballot.
Another provision requires indepen-
dent candidates to announce them
selves before the primaries or else
restrain their independence after
wards. They must also pay the same
fee for filing an independent petition
as party petition.

Twenty Thousand Tons

Owners of big teams and auto
trucks are putting in bids for haul
ing freight from the railroad into
Aurora. 1t is estimated that there
will be at least 20, 900 tons of mine
and mill machinery, tools, etc, to be
to be hauled in this year. 1t is re-
ported that Sweetwater and Walker
river ranchers have offered to haul
the freight from Hudson, the termi-
nus of the Copper Belt railroad, to
Aurora so miles-for $16 per ton.
1t is also reported the auto truck
people have put in a bid of $13 50
from Thorne to Aurora-45 miles.
Another report is that the South
ern Pacific company is considering
the praoticabiity of building spur
from Thorne to Hawthorne, thus
eliminating a six mile haul through
heavy sand. If this latter report
should prove correct there is no
doubt that this freight will come
through Hawthorne. If not it is
likely the freight will go from Hud
son through Sweetwater, as water
for stock is plentiful and feed cheap
er than by way of Hawthorne.
