LACK OF MONEY!. OF WORK
MEXICO IS BECOMING HUNGRY

Mexico City, July 26.-Mexico is
getting hungry, and early in July i;
was evident that this condition would
| become much worse before relief
could be had. Failure to plant crops
in thousands of fields formerly cul-
tivated, the increasing number of
idle men due to the closing down of
numerous industrial concerns, AMI
the indirect siege instituted against
scores of cities have resulted in
reducing to a deplorable condition
regions where great majority OF
the population asked only to be per
mitted to work.
Lack of money resulting from lack
Of work had had its effect in increas-
ing the prices, but the most direct
cause has been the cutting of the
railroads in all parts of the country
The fall of Durango revealed that
the people of that town had been
paying fabulous sums for certain or
dinary commodities and that meat
was an unobtainable luxury. Tore
on for time was in a situation al
most as bad. Reports from Chihua-
hua were that one egg was bringing
peso and that eight pesos were
paid for kilo. or two and two-fifths
pounds, of sugar. Conditions in Sal
tillo and Monterey became serious
notwithstanding that the government
was able most of the time to keep
open to the line from Tampico. In
oil towns the neighboring country is
depended upon to supply large part
of the food supply. but even where
railroads were kept open marauding
bands of rebels made it their busi-
ness to prevent the entry of supplies
from the neighboring truck farms
brought in on the backs of Indians
or in carts. The effect of these tao
tics has been keenly felt in the cap
ital itself, where prices have more
than doubled in the past year.
Failure to plant crops has not vet
had its full direct effect. The season

For 20 years he aag buried in the

room of the state university because
of tardiness, went to her room, Sc

Carrie Nation fashion smashed the

Voss to lock his door on tardy stu
dents but Mrs. Pearl does not mean
TO conform to the professors custom.
Much excitement, amounting almost
to terror on the part of some, was
evidenced by the occupants of the
room when the student began her
bold attack. After taking proper de-
llberate steps the faculty suspended
Mrs. Pearl from the university. 1t is
rumored that the woman refuses to
recognize the action of the faculty,
but expects to return to school as US
ual. Mrs. Pearl has the distinction of
being the only woman enrolled in
the law school of the university of
Oklahoma.

felt in official centers was the fact
that soldiers were detailed to ride
on the suburban cars early in July.
Rebels on whom Pascual Orozco
last year conferred the title of a
commissioned officer, and whose title
was used with quotation marks in
the newspapers of the capital, have
come into their own. They were ta-
ken into the army with the same
rank, but in a division styled irreg-
ular militia" The army had become
topheavy with classifications, and
President Huerta has issued a de-
cree converting all affiliated bodies
into the regular establishment. 1t
was announced later that hereafter
General Orozco and General Salazar
and General Campo and all other
holders of titles should be generals
or such as their rank might entitle
in the regular army
In connection with his program for
upbuilding the army, Huerta has or
dered number of changes that have
created comment, some of which is
not altogether favorable. One of
these was the order to purchase
lances with which a portion of the
cavalry will be equipped instead Of
with sabres. The fact that the Brit
ish used these with some success in
South Africa is said to have cause,i |
lluerta to insist upon their use in /
his army.
The use of more automobiles also
has been insisted on by the president, !
and the column which went north +.
along the line Of the National rail
way carried about fifty cars. When

alton OF officers but for the speedy
movement Of reserves from the rear.

for the maturing of most crops has
not come, but when it does, it is in
evitable that the country will find
itself forced to buy abroad, and mon
ey is scarce. In previous revolutions
the planting has not been so seri-
ously hindered, but since this is the
most widespread revolt the country
las seen there are hundreds of thou
sands of implanted acres.
Those who were attempting to
keep in touch with revolutionary ac-
tivities by marking a map realized
early in July that the most simple
means was not to block in with black
those regions held by the rebels, but
TO block in the portions where the
governments control was unquestion-
ed. II was much more simple and
required much less time.
Keen expectations of success were
created by the determined efforts to
reopen the railroad from the capital
to Laredo, but in spite of some sue
cess attained the rebel movement
continued to grow and the govern
ment was forced to concede the Sc
riousness of the situation in the ex-
treme south in the states of Cam

Corporation Commission Order Be.
comes Effective Aug. IS.
Oklahoma City. July &C. OF more
than ordinary importance TO farmers
in Oklahoma is the order of the cor
poration commission reducing freight
rates ON materials for silos. The or
der was made to all railroads in the
state, and was the result of a hearing
several days ago. The roads did not
oppose the proposed order to any eX-
tent, consequently the commission can
give immediatel ythe relief asked.
The order specifics that iron or
steel silos in packages or loose, when
in carload lots, or small parts i'm bar
rels or boxes shall be shipped as
Class B. and this shall move at a
rate of from cents 100 pounds for
five miles, to 81 cents for $50 miles
Minimum weight of a car shall he 80
coo pounds. The iron and steel silos
in less than carload lots shall be ship
ped as fourth class, and the rate on
this material shall be 7 cents a 100
pounds for five miles to $50 cents for
45O miles. The order become effect
i've August 10.
In the case of w. L. Baker AGAINST
the Chickasha Cotton company, the
commission ordered that the defend
ant shall not pay more for cotton seed
under the same conditions at one
place than it does in another. Baker
that the company paid
higher price for seed in Hobart and
vicinity than anywhere else for the
purpose of destroying competition.
The Rock Island is cited to appear
before the commission August 70 to
show cause why it should not be fined
for violation of TIE commissions or
der relative to destination we ghts.
It is alleged in the petition filed by p.
T. Foley that the railroad company
hauled car of coal for the Tishomin-
go Ice company, that the car at orig
weighed $1,000 pounds bur that when
delivered it only weighed 1926
pounds. Demand was made to the
agent for the refund of the difference
n the freight expense, but the agent
refused on the ground that he had no
to make the refund.

WILL DISCUSS QUESTIONS.
At the Ardmore Picnic Next Tuesday

At the Ardmore Picnic Next Tuesday
Will Also Run for Congress.
Senator c. c. Shaw of Tishomingo,
member of the Oklahoma state senate
and candidate for congress from the
fourth Oklahoma district, will be one
of the speakers at the Ardmore picnic
Tuesday. Senator Shaw will discuss
some of the questions that will be
voted upon at the election August )
and for that reason his remarks will
be of vital interest.
Senator Shaw favors the change
proposed in the railroad law. He be-
lieves that to eliminate article 9, sec
tion 9 of the constitution will result
in turning Oklahoma loose and in Civ
ing it an opportunity to grow
The senator also favors keeping
section IS of the mining law on tie
statute books. In other words he
takes the side of the operator and
against the miner. He was chairman
of the committee which prepared the
argument of the senate favOring the
bill as it passed He is well inform"
ed upon the question and his speech
on that subject will be interesting.
The Campbell Russell bill. which
proposes to make the regular semi
annual change in the board of agri-
culture will he discussed and Sena-
tor Shaw VIII take the position that
the bill does not deserve the support
of the people Campbell Russell has
meddled with the state until the peo-
pie are tired of his meddling.
The senator is anxious to have the
sand and gravel proposition placed
upon the ballot August and he went
in Oklahoma City Friday night to try
to get the question submitted. He was
one of a committee appointed to look
after the bill Attorney Chambers has
filed a protest against the title to the
bill and the supreme court must give
the matter a hearing and it is very
probable that the question will not
be submitted at this time
The proposition to equally distrib-
ute the school fund of the state will
not be touched upon by the senator.
Mr.. Shaw is from Bill Murray's |
town. He and Murray have always |
been friends. Mr.. Shaw is candi- |
date for congress. That seems to in |
dicate that Murray will not be a can

didate for the same office. In that
famous letter OF Murrays he said:
"Patrlotism suggests that | run for
governor; self-interests suggest that
! run for congress-" and it does look
like now he will obey the voice Of
patriotism and run for governor in
stead of offering for congress.
Other candidates besides Mr. Shaw
in the fourth district are Senators
Barrett of Shawnee and Roddie of
Ada.

OTHER ARRESTED.

Gushing, Okla, July 26.-The killing
of Ben Dyers, alias Indian Mike, alias
Joe Brown and several others, in an
attempt to rob a gambling house at
midnight Thursday and the subsequent
arrest of Charlie Wilson as an accom-
plice is believed to have solved the
identity of bandits who have held up
and robbed several gambling houses
in this part of the state within the
last few months.
At midnight Thursday, three men,
unmasked and with automatic revoly-
ers at present entered a local gam
bling house, lined up those in the room
turned off the lights and by the aid
of hand lanterns began taking money
from the various gaming tables. As
one, identified as Ben Dyers, lifted
the cash register, he was shot and in
'stantly killed.
Later at the Kay depot, officers ar
rested Charles Wilson, whom they be-
lieve was one of those connected with
the holdup. When taken into custody
he was found possessed of a revolver
and a mask. Wilson disclaims all,
knowledge Of the holdup or any con-
nection Herewith.
1t is said Ben Dyers was given
five-year penitentiary sentence at Ok
lahoma City in 1908 for highway rob-
berry. His name then was Joe Brown.
Tulsa, Okla, July 25.-The bandit
whose pal was killed in an attempted
holdup at Cushing Thursday night was
identified Friday by Chief of Police
Loder of Tulsa as Charlie Wilson, who
has served one term in the state pen
itentiary for highway robbery, and
who was convicted in the superior
court here five days ago of assault
with intent to kill. He was out on
bond pending a motion for a new trial
when he became implicated in the
Gushing deal. He was convicted here
for shooting an aged man whom he
attempted to rob. He was removed to
Tulsa Friday night.
