Huerta Not Perturbed

Mexico City, December 3.-The enuncia-
tion of Washingtons policy appears not
to alarm President Huerta, since
he long ago abandoned hope of any
thing but opposition from the United
States. He said today:
Il have no intention of yielding Should
this fighting in Mexico continue for years
shall continue to do my part in 1t If
am still alive
General Huerta declared that the coun-
try was sef-supporting and that forced
loans. If made necessary. could enable
him to resist indefinitely. So long as he
was able to obtain American oil he did
not regard the shutting off of native oil
from the railways as vital.

Moheno, minister of foreign affairs, to-
night denied that Queen Wilhelmina had
proposed in behalf of the powers any plan
for. the elimination from the Mexican gov

Detectives Employed

Because of this situation detectives
were employed. Telephone devices 1t is
known were freely used. The regular
grand jury at Vicksburg finished it's work
December l. A special body was called
into session the following day. The in
dictments charge Hobbs and Bilbo with
soliciting bribes and We're tie first re-
turned by this grand jury. Bilbo was
exonerated In 1910 and he then aligned
himself with the Vardaman faction and
then was elected lieutenant governor. He
was an ayowed candidate for the COVER
norship in 1914.
Bilbo saved an officer the trouble of
arresting him at PoplarVille by starting
for Vicksburg to surrender. He arrived
here this morning, arranged for $5OJO
bond and left shortly before noon Tor
Vicksburg He refused to discuss any
phase of the case.

Refers to State Executive as "DOllar
Hearted Dummy"-Arrests Gil
max to Sensational Series of
Political Events

jackson, Miss. December 3.-Missis-
pi's complicated political situation was
ther entangled today by the arrest
Yicksburg of the states lieutenant gov
ernor. Theodore Bilbo. and one Of its
most active state senators, G. w. Hobbs.
They are charged in indictments with
receiving 500 and agreeing to receive
5000 more to use their votes and their
Influence in the next Legislature for pas
sage of a bill creating a new county
in the delta" Hobbs was arrested at
Jackson and Bilbo surrendered at ViclSs-
burg and each Immediately gave bond
for 5000.
After Bilbo gave bond at Vicksburg
today he gave out statement usinS
strong terms against his political enemies
and referring to Governor Earl Brewer
as the "dollar-hearted dummy" When
this statement was received here Gov
ernor Brewer said: II have no parley
to make with any criminal indicted in
the criminal court. Just let the facts
speak for themselves"
Climax to Events
The arrest OF BllDO and HOODS came as
a climax TO a series of events that has
kept Mississippi stirred for months. Soon
after Govrnor Brewer took office a legs-
lative committee began investigation of
the state institutions. The committee still
is at work taking evidence. AS one re-
suit of this investigation nine state Of
ficers or former officers have been con-
victed of criminal charges and several
of them are serving penitentiary SEM
tenees.
Unlike the legislative investigation of
1910 when Blbo then a state representa-
tive sprang into the limeight by con-
Tossing that he received an alleged bribe
of S640 telephone device records are eX-
pected to prove a great factor in this
incident. Bilbo was eXonerated of the
charge in 1910, maintaining that he ac-
oepted the money to entrap the supposed
bribers.
During the 1872 session of the legsla-
ture an effort was made to create new
equity in the delta with Belzoni as the
county seat. The bill failed to pass.
1t is generally known that it will be
attempted to pass a similar bill the next
legislature.
According to charges and counter
charges that have been published from
time to time in Mississippi newspapers
efforts have been made to pave the way
for passage of the bill in the next legis-
lature and that these efforts have re-
suited in many secret conferences OF
men high in Mississippi politics.

Germany Sets the Pace

From the Charleston News and Courier.
France is fixed in her resolution to
keep her army at least on parity
with that of the fatherland, Just as
England is determined that the British
navy must base its building pro-
gramme entirely on the Kaiser's build
ing activities. The cost of military
preparation in England Is thus made
to respond to the decisions of the Ger
man empire. The German Legislators
not only fix the taxes of their own
people, but they indirectly determine
the tax rate of France and England.
even of all Europe by requiring these
other nations to keep pace with them.
1t must be decidedly flattering to the
Kaiser to be in such a position. lie
seems to be feared by every nation
on the globe, including the United
States, yet the warlike predictions of
his youth have never been translated
into actual combat He has preserved
peace.

GOODIES FOR
PICNIC BASKET

Almost as much depends on the pack
ing Of the picnic basket as on the max
ing of the picnic fare. For a moderate
amount Of money many things can be
bought to make the work of packing the
basket easy. Thermos bottles for cream
and milk, special sandwich boxes, paper
sets of doilies, napkins. and tablecloths.
paper plates and saucers to match, and
paper cups can all be bought.
A menu for a hearty, but cold picnic
supper. is as follows: Cold broiled
chicken. stuffed tomatoes with lettuce
and mayonnaise, currant Jelly, buttered
rolls, strawberry or raspberry short
cake. Each stuffed tomato can be wrap
ped in 5SaNed paper, the lettuce can be
wrapped in damp cloth. the chicken
can be packed in a paper-lined box, and
the rolls can be carried in a box or
basket. The two layers of cake for the
shortcake can be carefully wrapped in
a napkin. The berries, prepared with
sugar, cream to whip for the shortcake,
and the mayonnaise dressing for the
salad can all be carried in fruit jars; al
though the cream. IL there is q thermos
bottle, had better be carried IN that.

MERCHANTS PLEASED
AT FREE DELIVERY
Associations Attorneys Are Congratu-
lated on Decision of Interstate
Commerce Commision.

Local merchants yesterday showcred
their congratulations upon Chaplin Brown
and Maurice ID. Rosenberg. attorneys for
the Chamber of Commerce and Retail
Merchants Association, for the victory
gained before the Interstate Commerce
Commission, compelling the railroads to
continue free store delivery here as long
as they do In Baltimore.
The opinion is regarded as highly i'm
portant. from a Washington standpoint
1t is estimated that had the railroads
been permitted to discontinue the free
store delivery, II would have cost the
merchants Of the District approximately
sac. 900 annually
Ross p. Andrews, president of the Re-
tail Merchants Association, yesterday,
in speaking of the decision. declared:
quite naturally the members Of the Re-
tail Merchants Association are delighted
over the results of the litigation before
the commission. 1t is precisely the thing
that the association has fought for.
The victory that has been achieved in
this case will save the members of the
Retail Merchants Association about s70.-
600 annually and put competition between
and Baltimore merchants on
a more equitable basis"
President Callahan. of the Chamber of
Commerce. said yesterday:
THE Chamber of Commerce Ia well
pleased over the ruling of the Interstate
Commerce Commission in respect to the
free delivery Of freights to the merchants
OF Washington. In fact, in view of the
decision of the railroads to continue the
free delivery IN Baltimore, II would have
been very unfair to the business people
of Washington to eliminate entirely the
privilege Of delivering freight here with
out charge"
