WRIT Ten SHORTLY
BEFORE HIS DEATH
Letter Of Captain Scott De-
cIared End Was Near.

London, Nov. THE following
words are part of a letter written &
few days before the end Of the long
struggle made by Captain Scott in his
i'll fated Antarctic expedition. The
letter was to his friend, Sir James
Barrie. The letter said:
I'VE are very near the end, but we
have not and won't lose our good
cheer.
I'VE have had four days of storm
in the tent and nowhere is there food
or fuel.
1--WE had intended to finish our.
selves when things proved like this,
but we have decided to die naturally
in our tracks.
I'VE are showing that Englishmen
still can die with a bold spirit, fight
ing to the end.
1T will be known we have accom-
plished our object of reaching the pole
and that we have done everything
possible. even to sacrificing ourselves.

NOT REQUESTED TO MEDIATE
French Foreign Office Denies Pub.
Iished Report.

Paris, Nov. THE French foreign
Office emphatically denied the report
that General Huerta, provisional pres
ident of Mexico, has asked France to
mediate in Mexico's misunderstanding
with the United States.
A diplomat in high standing said
that in his opinion the dozen or more
Mexican canards that are vexing the
Washington government have been
circulated maliciously for the purpose
of creating an international impress
sion that President Wilson's Mexican
policy is vacillating.
"That is absurd" he said, because
the policy of the United States to-
wards Mexico has been most consist
ent from the outset"

RUNDOWN WOMEN
Find Health in a Simple Tonic.

How many women do you know
who are perfectly we'll, strong and
healthy as a woman should be? They
may not be sick enough to lie in
bed-but they are rundown, thin,
nervous, tired and devitalized.
Women are so attractive nowadays,
and so much is expected of them,
that they constantly overdo and sui
fer from headache, backache, ner-
vousness and kindred ills.
Such women need Vinol, our deli
cious cod liver and iron tonic with
out oil which will Great an appetite,
tone UP the digestive organs, make
pure blood and create strength.
Mrs. Walter Price, Biloxi, Miss,
says: 81 was in rundown condition
for months, had taken several medi-
cines but they seemed to do me no
good. Finally Vinol was recommend
ed, and from the first bottle began
to improve until strong and well

DEMANDS Will
Be REJECTED
Hnerta Decides to Stand
!: Out Against America.
WILL SEAT NEW CONGRESS

Should Recently Chosen Body Of
Lawmakers Order New Presidential!
Election the Present Acting Execu-
tive Will Submit to Peoples Choice.
Mexico City, Nov. THE purposes
se General Huerta were voiced by
oeIson who is close to the provisional
president. The president is deter
mined to reject all the demands set
forth in the latest American commu-
n1cation and is resolved to seat the
congress just elected.
If congress, however, declares the
recent presidential election null and
makes arrangements for another cleo
ton General Huerta would be disposed
TO- abide by this decision and submit
to the peoples choice of man who
would occupy the presidency until the
autumn of 1916.
There was still no indication here
whether Huerta would make formal
reply to the communication.
The nature of the memorandum is
said to call for no other reply than
compliance. How long Washington
expects to wait for this compliance
after failing to receive favorable re-
joinder is a question which is greatly
Interesting the few. here who are con-
vinced of the passage of the communi-
cation from the United States govern
ment to the provisional president.
Notwithstanding the necessary pre-
cautions surrounding the transmission
by, Nelson O'Shaughnessy, American
charge dafaires, of the Washington
dispatch, enough has leaked out here
to fill the city with rumors and end
less speculation as to what General
Huerta's course of action will be.
Opinion generally is in line with the
unofficial information obtainable at
the national palace that General
Huerta intends to refuse compliance
with the United States demands. He
will proceed with the program he has
been following of reorganizing the
Mexican congress and abiding by the
findings of that body relative to the
recent elections. simultaneously
Washington's warning that the new
congress will not be countenanced
will be ignored by Mexico's ruler.

Bic Golf Tournament

The largest golf tournament ever con-
Quoted in this city gets under way this
morning at 7:55 o'clock when the first
pair of entrants tee on in the qualification
round on the course at Columbia Coun-
try Club. This tourney is an annual fall
classic of the Columbia Club and the lists
this year contain a greater number of
players than have ever before particle
pated in a golfing carnival around this To-
cality.
Each Of the local clubs have a number
OF representatives in the AFFAIR. while the
crack golfers OF Baltimore. Wilmington,
Philadelphia, and other northern cities

ably the greatest attraction OF the tour

The winner of the tournament will be
the first to have his name placed upon
the handsome Wardman cup. This tro-
ply. valued at S1.ooo. was presented to
the Columbia Country Club by Harry

the field. This will not happen. Hyland
was evidently excited, and may have
stepped on the field for just a second, but
that was enough.
Another thing which will have to be
attended TO, IL the scholastic games are
to be run of without more than one
protest, Is the position Of headlinesman.
This Is an important position. one which
should be filled by an experienced foot
ball official, and many mistakes are
made when a headlinesman fails to keep
track OF the play.
Break Up Play.
One instance in Tuesdays game which
stood out was when the headlinesman
called to the referee when a Business
player was trying to work the old ''shoe
string" trick, that is-sticking close to
the side lines while the play was taking
place In the center OF the field. The
headlinesman called to the referee,
showing him and the Tech team the
Business player away from the lineup,
waiting for a forward pass, and thusly
spelling a good play.
1t is understood that an effort will be
made in the near future to have an ex-
perienced football official appointed as
headlinesman for the remaining games.
When Referee McGoffin brought the
bali back, after he was told that twelve
men were on the field, he should have
penalized Business Is yards. but this was
not done. Why? c. W. SWAN.

SUSPICION ATTACHED
TO RACE TRACK FIRE
Maryland Fire Marshal Believes Havre
de Grace Conaagraion Was the
Work of Ineendiaries.

Baltimore. Nd, Oct 2.-That the
grandstand Of the Havre de Grace race
track was set on fire is the conclusion
of John W. Famous, Deputy State Fire
Marshal. who was in the city today after
investigating the fire which destroyed
the grandstand and clubhouse last Satur-
day night.
Mr.. Famous decided that the fire start
ed in the kitchen and that at least one
window was known &c have been open
though the door vss locked. The watch
man was on the ground but was not
near the place where the fire started.
There is some discussion as to whether
the meet scheduled to follow the Pimlico
meet is TO be held. At Havre de Grace
the opinion is that IL will and that the
bleachers, which were not destroyed, will
be rooted over as substitute for the
grandstand. But in Baltimore it was
said in sporting circles today that the
New York Jockey Club. having sane
toned a meeting at Norfolk on the dates
asked for by the Hartford County people.
could not afford to give the license asked
Thus it Is figured that the proposed ten
day meet at Havre de Grace will not be
held.

Dear Sir: A nice letter from my friend,
Mr.. Breen, of the Cardinals. and my office

manager, Mr.. Mueller, has not paid it a

final disposition. but before do SO wish
to state a few facts: Now, about The
games Of the Seamen Gunners and the
Potomac football teams that were partly
played on Virginia soil during the last few
seasons. Maybe this is the reason that
they would like the Yigilants to play
there. Nothing doing. They don't play
that class of football in Vfgilant Park,
and in answer to several queries in his
letter, can honestly say: 'Yes, they did
appear and play here last year, and, also,
they did put up a forfeit before the game
was booked. Is that rememberedT'
Promoting games in my park is not a
plaything, and 1t tskes money, and a dis
appointment means more than money to

Park, and cannot afford to play away ON

offer me a park that has a playing field
that is not screened from the spectators
and protection from an inadequate police
force. We can offer them park and
grand stand screened from the spectators,
officials satisfactory to them, and pro-
lection from the whole Metropolitan po-
lice force Zone of the best in the world /;

The usual post-season picking of ALL
star baseball teams is on again in full
earnest. One of the latest selections is
that OF Manager Miller Higgins. of the
st. Louie Cardinals. whose list is inter-
esting principally because he accords
first base position to Jake Daubert, of
Brooklyn, rather than his own Ed.
Konetchy. Many believe Higgins is
quite right in giving Daubert the prefer
ence as being the best first-sacker in the
game today. But what blow It must
be to Konetchy himself. The Cardinals
manager and his first baseman have,
however, never been any too friendly.
