Washington, Out. 5.--Presi- dent Wilson has cOmmuted the sentences of Frederick Hyde and J""s! Srhnl ider, who are now serving time in the penitentiary for land frauds in California of many years ago. The cumnlu- tatiun is almost as good as a pardon. as it releases both men from prison.
 The convictions of the two men were secured by Francis J. IIcn- "N, who picked he jurors from among the list of voters. and it was said at the time that the men selected would "have convicted Christ" of any crime the grand jury might have cared tn indirt him for. The men selected by thr government jury-picker con- virtcd both Hyde and Schneider. who were given long sentences by tn" hanh-pickrd judge.
 Friends of thr two men tried !u secure their pardon from 'rrs idrnI Tafl. but while he par ,'nmrh some of the mon charged with land frauds in Oregon. he refused to pardon nydc and Sch n"idrr. whoRe sentences Presi- dent Wilson has now committed.
 Attorney General Wickersham severely condemned the Heney tactics as a disgrace to the gov- ernment. The convictions were secured during the Roosevelt ad- ministration.

Vera Cruz, Mex, Oct. 25.--The American steamer Moro Castle was detained by the authorities here. acting under orders from Dictator Huerta, and for a short time it was believed that an op- en rupture between iuerta and the American authorities would result.

Governor Lind, the special representative of the government, made peremptory demand upon the governor of the province for the immediate rt- lease of the steamer and his re- quest was finally granted.

WAR ON The
LOTS NEXT
Mayor Encouraged by Success
of First Clean Up Day
Will Extend Campaign
WANTS COUNCILMEN
TO GET INTERESTED

Wilmington observed its first ar
ranged clean up day, yesterday and
for the first time in history a system
attic battle was waged on bacilli and
oil other disease laden germs.
The movement was inaugurated by
Mayor Harrison W. Howell himself
a practicing physician, VINO knows
the danger that lurking in refuse that
lays on the sidewalks and alleys of
the city.
In speaking of the "Clean up" yes
terday Mayor Howell at noon today
announced that it was very satisfac-
tory aud it was encouraging TO note
the feeling of civic pride displayed by
the citizens Continuing Mayor
Howell said the next battle to be
waged in the interest Of the City's
health would be against the vacant
lots which in many instances are
piled high with filth. No only was
this to be removed through the CO.
operation OF the owners, but the tall
grass and weeds would likewise be
removed.
Mayor Howell, I'm talking Of the
Cleanup" movement, said Il had been
suggested by one citizen to have each
councilman act as chairman of ward
committees 20 arrange for a cleanup
day when, through the cooperation
OF residents, general cleaning
could be given the city streets, and
all alleyways. II is probable that
such a movement will be started and
the entire city given a thorough
cleaning before the advent OF warm
weather and the peslSy flies.
The work yesterday was not con-
fined to any one portion OF the city,
large forces OF the street sweepers
being scattered over the various
streets, and the ushers we're busy all
day In addition housewives we're
scrubbing the pavements. ard less
waste paper was to be seen on the
lawns and in the streets than for some
time.
