"NO DEVELOPMENTS IN MEXICO"
Secretary Bryan Says Huerta Has
Not Answered Note.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.-"There
have been no developments in the
Mexican situation within the last for
ty-eight hours. We have received no
reply from President Huerta to our
last note. do not care to discuss the
CarranZaHale incident"
Secretary Bryan in this manner
summed up the official news in the
Mexican situation today.
1t was learned however, that the ad-
mnistration is preparing to give Will
liam Bayard Hale unofficial creden-
tials to enable him to continue his dis
cussion with General Carranza. This
government wishes to get in close
touch with the leaders of the Consti-
tutionalists, but does not wish to do
anything which can oe taken as for
NAL recognition of their cause.
Therefore Mr.. Hale probably will
receive secret letter to the rebel
leader informing him that the United
States desires to help him and his
cause but will do so only if the matter
be kept entirely secret until such time
as Washington is ready to come out
actively in favor of Carranza.

CARRANZA is ACTIVE

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 19.-General
Huerta will take the field against the
Mexican Constitutionalists who are
sweeping all of northern Mexico, cap
turing many towns and opening the
way for an advance on the capital.
He intends to lead into the battle the
greatest Mexican army ever gathered.
This explanation was given today by
friend of the dictator of his action
in calling upon the governors of the
various states of Mexico to put into
the field at once all their available
men. as he desired to raise an army
of $50, 900 soldiers.
Huerta has little hope of stopping
the Constitutionalists in the north,
but with this great army he expects
to deal crushing blow 70 General
Carranza when the revolutionary lead
er brings his forces within striking
distance.
Huerta Optimistic.
This army is not being gathered
with the idea that there is to be any
war with the United States. In fact,
General Huerta considers the diplo-
matte crisis involving the Mexican
and American government over, for
the present, at least.
Gen. Huerta proceeded today with
his plans for the formal opening of
congress tomorrow. All the members
of his cabinet were summoned into
an extraordinary session to discuss
the message which the dictator Will
send to congress. In writing the mes
sage Gen. Huerta was in cOnsulta-
tion several times with SenOr Moheno,
minister of foreign affairs and is
therefore believed that the message
will deal in large measure with the
relations between the United States
and Mexico. 1t probably will be OF
the same defiant nature as that of the
past communications from this gov
ernment to Washington.
Mexicans Fear carranza.
More alarm is felt here by the Mexi-
can people over the rebel successes
in the North than over the demands
of the United States. Within week
Gen. Carranza's troops have captured
three large cities and many small
towns. Supporters of Huerta are con
fident that the belligerency of the
Carranza army will never be recog
nized by the United States because
of the execution of Federal officers
at Juarez without trial and the bloody
slaughter that followed the capture O
Victoria. the capital of Tamapaulis
Advices received here from Victoria
say that scores of helpless prisoner!
were shot down in cold blood by the
revolutionists.

afternoon and were interested obser-
vers of the preparations going on there
for the installation of the new mana
gerial form of government January
next
The ommissioners-elect of Dayton
held a meeting at the munlclpal Du-
reau which was established by num-
Der of public-spirited citizens, and Ia
ter sent a cablegram TO Col. Goethals,
builder of the Panama Canal, oferlng
him the appointment of manager OF the
Dayton city government at a salary
greater than the federal government
pays its army officers
DR. Upson, director of the municipal
bureau, told his Richmond callers of
the work he and his assistants had ac-
complished in the fourteen months OF
the bureaus existence These men are
experts on municipal affairs, and occu-
py a suite of offices on the third floor
of one of the principal downtown bus

Makes For Efficiency.
The municipal bureau by co-opera'
ting with the city administration Off
cials has established a splendid sys'
TEN of efficiency in all departments OF
the city government, and has aided
greatly in establishing the city on a
sound financial basis
DR.. Upson explained the system OF
departmental reports which has been
established in Dayton. This system
keeps an accurate tab on all the wor1
done by the various departments, ever
to the smallest details, but at the
same time is extremely simple.
The itemized budget system was al
SO explained. This has been an agency
which has proved wonderfully bench
cial to the city of Dayton in a tinan
cial way for it does away with the
method of appropriating "1umI
sums" as practiced in Richmond, ant
shows in detail what each dollar is tt
be used for. consequently council cal
intelligently determine just how mucf
money is actually needed to operat'
the city government for a year.
May Visit Here.

Union Men Make Plans For

No. Trades.
MASS MEETING FRIDAY
John Keegan, Former Mem
ber of Legislature, Will
Deliver Address.

BY the formation of a temporary
building trades organization last night,
the first steps toward the complete un-
ionizing of the laborers of the city
were taken at the meeting of Trades
Council The organization embraces
the unions of the carpenters. sheet
metal workers. painters, hod carriers
and plasterers. An effort will be made
to form a union of the plumbers and
add them to the Building Trades
Council when it is formed into per
manent organization. William Fahlsing
was chosen temporary secretary oil the
council.
Probably the first non union labor
to be interested in the benefits OF I'M
ionism will be the garment workers
and glove makers of Richmond. The
wage scales of these workers are at
! present much lower than those in 9th
| er cities and it is believed that per
fecting unions among them will be
productive of speedy returns.
Urge All To Attend.

DIR. w. T. Elam Declares Her
Conduct With Chicago
Man Was Improper.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 19.-Held on
charge of murder, DR.. w T. Elam,
St. Joe, Mo, physician, refused to
believe the reports of private detec-
tives and friends that his wife's con-
duct with Putnam Cramer. Chicago
advertising man, had not been i'm
proper. Elan yesterday afternoon
shot and killed Cramer in a hotel
room here, then calmly walked into
the lobby and informed John T. Glynn
a detective and A. V. D. Rousseau, a
lawyer, of what he had done.
Elan had accused Cramer of init
macy with Mrs. Elan. The Chicago
man denied the charge and arranged
meeting in Kansas City in order to
prove to Elam that his suspicious
were incorrect. Elam had employed
detective to shadow his wife and
Cramer when they were both in Kan
sas City together. The detective was
on hand to tell Elan that he had
found the couple were not intimate.
After a brief conversation in the
lobby of the hotel, Elan and Cramel
went up to Cramer's room and in &
few minutes Elan returned alone.

Blair Lee, the newly elected United
States Senator from Maryland, is
senator alright but he doesn't know
when he will work at it. He was ell
ected on the Democratic ticket by the
direct vote of the people to succeed
Senator William P. Jackson. Senator
Jackson was appointed by the Repub-
lican Governor to fill out the unexpir-
ed term of the late Senator Ravner
This term expires in 1917. This makes
a curious legal tangle and was caused
by the new law which provides for the
direct election of United States sena-
tors. The seating OF Senator Lee is a
matter of great interest TO Democrats
because of the narrow margin OF ma
jority in the Senate.
