"HANDS0FF"| IS
THE MEXICAN
POLICY
UNITED STATES BELIEVES IF The
POWERS WILL UNITE WITH THIS
COUNTRY IN REFUSING TO REC
OGNIzE HUERTA OR HIS CON-
GRESS, END WILL COME SOON.
MEXICO HEARS THAT
zAPATA MAY give UP

Washington, d. c., Nov. 11.-indi.
cations today were that the American
policy toward Mexico which it is hop
ed the nations of the world generally
would follow, was still hands off,
The general Interpretation of the
situation was that the United States,
by giving foreign powers detailed in
formation of its determination to
refuse to recognize the acts of the
new Mexican congress had indicated
desire that the powers, generally, re-
frain from financial dealings with the
Huerta government.
So far as could be learned there
had been no specific request for sup
port by the powers, but there has been
plain intimation that the Washing
ton government believes the collapse
of the Huerta regime inevitable if
foreign aid be withheld.
With the intention to regard as H.
legal any loans or concessions the
new congress may undertake, there
has been distinct intimation that a
policy of acquiescence by foreign gov.
ernments would be gratifying to Wash
ington. Without financial aid and
with its machinery of government pro-
nounced illegal, officials here expect
to see state of affairs that may
force Huerta to eliminate himself.
The cabinet met again today with
all members present except Secretary
Wilson. The Mexican topic was fore
most. The raising of the embargo
on arms, which has been urged on
the president and practically all the
secretaries was discussed at length.
After two hour discussion devoted
principally to the Mexican situation,
tn, cabinet meeting ,f,te up a'.d as
cn previous cccas')r', The members
pr, served absolute silence.
The gunboat Wheeling arrived at
Tuxpan to investigate disorders in the
northern part of Vera Cruz state. The
battleship Louisiana is also due there
today.

Horse Was Not Stolen

The sheriff's Office was called
on last week to apprehend a
horse thief, alleged SO. at least,
in Bee Branch township. The
deputy. Mr.. Ewing went to the
scene of the trouble and gave
the man a chase but he found
out that there was no case
against him and decided to let
him go. A resident Of Bee
Branch rode a horse up to where
there was a cross road and tied
the animal. While he walked
one way. the horse broke loose
and went the other way. When
he returned the animal was gone
and an Italian, who had been
working in the vicinity and had
recently quit his job, was accus-
ed Of stealing the horse. The
horse turned up 0. X. and il
transpired that the dago had
nothing to do with the animal al
|all. Thereupon the deputy
sheriff ceased his efforts to get
the man.

Appeal Case Dismissed?

1t was reported in the streets
this week that the case of
Charlton county in which the
question of local option was at
stake, which was appealed from
the circuit court to the Court of
Appeals at Kansas City, was
dismissed. 1t was reported it
was dismissed two weeks ago.
If the case had been dismissed
no order indicating it had been
returned to the circuit court of
this county as late as the first of
the week. The indications are
that unless the appellors take
some step to further prosecute
the appeal, it would be dismissed
but no action had been taken,
according to the records of the
circuit court here. On the
strength of the report of the dis
missal of the case at Kansas
City, a petition was being cir
culated for the calling of another
election on this matter.

COLUMBIA 4. S. COMING
Meet Keytesyille Saturday
April 26 at H. S.
Grounds.

While the local high school has
met with some disappointment
in the past regarding their ath-
leticmeets, they have a good one
cinched for Saturday April 26.
tomorrow, when the athletes
from the Columbia High School
come here to give the locals a
workout.
The boys will be accompanied
by their coach Mr.. Todd who
will act as starter and referee
and Harry Tidd. The Columbia
party consists Of eight men and
they will get here on No. 8 leav-
ing here on No. A at midnight.
The meet will consist of the
usual track events. including the
dashes, hurdles, shotput and
long distance runs. The referee
will be Coach Todd of Columbia
and the judges Harry Tidd of
Columbia, Roy w. Rucker and j.
A. LARSON of Keytesville.
Columbia comes here after a
meet with the Kemper Military
Academy at Bonneville where
they were defeated last Satur.
day by a narrow margin of three
points, Kemper piling mp 81 to
their 49. The meet will be the
scene of some grueling contests
as Columbia is strong and Key
tesville has some men who can
be counted on to share the points
with the visitors.
In the evening, 1t is the pur'
pose Of the high school students
to have a reception on the school
grounds for the visitors, in case
the weather permits and if not,
the reception will be in the schoo
building. qhe admission feeFfol
the meet win be 25 cents and ths
locals will be surprised if the
meet does not draw a big
crowd as the attendance at the
contest last year would indicate
a big turnout this year on thu
merits of the contestants.

Ought to be Even Break

1t looks like the locals ought to
at least break even on the track
meet from Columbia tomorrow,
judging from the marks made by
the winners in the Columbia
Kemper contest last Saturday.
The marks show that Kemper
took eight points in the pole
vault at Z feet while Thrash is
doing 9 feet on a pinch. In the
dashes 10O-22O- and 44O- things
don't look so good for the locals.
The half mile was not even at
tempted here, Tuesday, when
this was written so that is an
unknown quantity. Columbia
won the mile in 500 which is
better than the locals have been
doing in practice. Both hurdles
look like Keytesville's, as does
the broad jump as the record
last Saturday was only a little
better than 16 feet while the
locals are doing better than 20.
Likewise, both the shot and dis
Gus look like our pickings while
the half-mile relay may go to
Columbia.

FRANK CARMON IS DEAD
Former Resident Passes Away
at Prescott, Kansas
tuberculosis Cause.

Word was telegraphed to E.
B. Kellogg Friday morning that
Frank Carmon had died at Pres
colt, Kas. the night before. For
years the old favorite here had
battled against the white plague
and at times succeeded in ap-
parently getting the upper hand
of his destroyer, yet as irrevoca-
BILE as fate, the unconquerable
disease led him across the line
separating life from death.
He had gone with a companion
to sit up with a sick friend and
he was to be on watch the latter
part of the night. He went to
bed to sleep until IL O'Clock, got
up complaining but went back
and his companion thot he was
sleeping, but when he went to
wake him at IL o'clock found he
was dead.
No boy or young man reared
in this community was ever more
justly popular among all than
Frank. No social function
was felt a success without his
presence. and not until he realiz-
ed that he had been laid hold of
by consumption which had TAX
en- away many of his relatives,
did he lose interest in all else
but the battle with his enemy.
Frank was a good printer, but
any kind of indoor employment
being to the advantage of his
disease, he abandoned the tripod
and did what he could in the
open air.
Though a wanderer for years,
tho time and evolution has eff.
faced from many of US memories
of the days Of long ago -wher
his companionship was a delight
there yet remains with some OF
US old timers pleasantest rec.
collections of the jolly, enter.
tanning, handsome and accom-
plished companion of our youth.
Frank was about 63 years old
and is the last of a large family
all victims of the same implac.
able disease. He. was buried al

"Wets" Lose But Fight

Audrain county "wets" who
tried to force an election before
the county unit law goes into eff
feet by compelling the county
court to call an election when
petitioned, lost their fight when
the Court of Appeals at st. Louis
held that the court was within
its rights in refusing to honor
the petition as it was filed and
refused to call the election.
The vets say they will circulate
another petition at once and pre-
sent it to the county court.

$500 For Jurors

The bill approved by the gov
ernor which will hereafter allow
grand and petit jurors $500 a
day should have been passed
years ago. Not that such SER
vice should be viewed from the
money making point of view,
but because Of the unreasonable
ness of forcing men away from
profitable employment to duty
which often cost them more than
they were paid. That the in
creased pay will augment the
company of professionals as well
as increase its supply of liquor
and tobacco while it benefits the
farmer who is drawn for the
service, is not sufficient objection
to the law to justify criticism.

Deputy Sheriff Ewing has
been busy the past week or two
serving papers for the officers OF
the county building. He reports
that Keytesville township roads
are to be distinguished from the
roads in every other township by
their uniformly good quality.
The doctrine of road dragging
has born more and better fruit
in this township he says than
any other. Other townships
may have good roads from one
or two directions but all good
roads lead to KeytesvilIe.
