BLAIR LEE CANDIDACY
DOOMED BY SPEAKERS
Senator Bryan, Representative Tag
gart, and Others Tell Of Impor-
tanee of Democratic Victory.

If Andrew Carnegie, canny Scot though
he is, had come to this country in an aRa
of commercial slavery like the present,
he would have got job at 800 q month,
would have spent the rest of his life
working at it faithfully and never would
have been able to acquire the library
donating habit. according to Senator
Bryan Of Florida, who spoke at a DEM
ccratic meeting at Edgewood Hall, Be-
thesda, Nd, last night
That the present age is one of "com-
mercial slavesy'' was emphasized in Sem
ator Bryan's address
The young man OF this day has no
chance to engage in any independent
business" said he, but must content
himself with working for some ons else
There is no opening under present con-
ditions for independent effort"
Senator Bryan, then stated that the
Democratic administration planned to
enact laws which would emancipate the
young man from this slavery, and. that
these great reforms might be more GER
tainly carried out, he expressed the hope
that Maryland would send State Senator
Blair Lee to fill the seat In the United
States Senate, made vacant by the death
of Senator Rayner.
Representative Joseph Taggart. of
sending Maryland's Democratic candi-
date, Blair Lee, to the Senate.
Eugene Waters, candidate for a seat In
the Maryland Assembly, also spoke.
The rally was held under the auspices
of the Bethesda Democratic Club. At the
close of the meeting. the announcement
was made that Secretary Of State Bryan
will speak at Rockville, Nd, Saturday
night in support Of Lees candidacy.

ABSCONDING BANKER
LIVES In PARAGUAY
Pasquale PAT, Who Disappeared with
100000, Located Through En-
bezzling Cashiers Story.

New York, Oct. 9-Pasquale Patti
former head OF the New York banking
firm OF P. Pat & Sons. who disappeared
hve years ago. was located today through
a story told the police by John c. Schild-
knecht. who was arrested yesterday on
the charge of embezzling SIS, 900 from
the Washburn-Crosby Flour Company.
Pati and his family are in Paraguay.
Pati is alleged to have absconded with
more than $4,000 belonging to the de-
positors in his bank
When Schildknecht was placed in the
Tombs today he expressed regret that ne
could not see Effie McMinn, the young
woman who posed as his wife and upon
whom he is said to have spent most of
the $4,000 Schildknecht said he learned
of Pati through Mick Kelley, brother
of Paul Kelley, the gang leader. During
the recent suit against Miss McMinn IL
was testified that Nick Kelley was Miss
McMinn's sweetheart. Nick Kelley is
said to have advised Schildknecht to find
Pati in Paraguay, saying that Pati got
away with the goods" Schildknecht said
he was unable to reach Pati because his
funds gave out shortly after he reached
South America.

vestigation Of all branches OF the local
government; the rezystsmizing OF eli
faulty organization, which would in
clude the correction OF all Implications
Of effort and faulty method IN the ex-
ercise Of municipal functions. and the
clear definition OF the relation Of the
Administrative officers Of the District to
Congress and to committees OF Con-
grexs.
Details Of this survey would probably
be worked out by committees appointed
from among the officials Of the various
departments. and by committees of ex-
perts to study special. moot questions of
municipal government These special
committees should be composed of
recognized authorities, who would be
drawn from among municipal officers OF
other cities as wen as from the Dis
trict.
Mr.. Bruere estimates that the cost for
such survey would be about $4,000. With
the data accumulated by such survey
before the Commissioners. a plan for
the entire remodeling of the District
municipal government to the highest
point of efficiency and responsiveness 10
the wants Of the people could be de-

DIAz AND NEWSPAPER MAN
TO GO TO CUBA OR U. s

Secretary Bryan yesterday instructed
Admiral Fletcher. commanding the Amer

newspaper correspondent. Alexander
Williams, on board the first steamer
leaving Vera Cruz for Cuba or the Uni
ted States.
are now on board Admiral Badgers flag
ship. their choice as TO where they want

situation is conceded here, and he is now
regarded as nothing more than an Incl

ing Felix Diaz. lauding President Huerta,
and condemning the policy of the WASH
ington administration in fayorine the
Carrazanistas and refusing recognition to
Huerta.
El Diario says:
The attitude Of the President of the
United States in supporting the electoral
tickets of those who favor the northern
rebels and refusing to accept those of the
opholders OF legality, order. and national
dignity, has assured the continuation of
Provisional President Hureta In power
speaking Of the flight Of Felix Diaz, it
says:
The rebel of Vera Cruz and the hero
Of the Ciudadela declares himself van
quished. Under the wing of John Lind
and pasted like scum to Consul Canada
he has showed himself in moments of
imaginary danger military man full
Of terror and entirely devoid of honor"
FL Imparciai has this to say OF Diaz:
The nephew of the great Porfirio
has shown himself as cowardly as a
rabbit"
Seven Taken Prisoners.
Seven men who were taken prisoners
at Vera Cruz on suspicion OF having
been participants in a Dfaz plot against
the administration were brought here to-
day for trial in the Federal district
court
About thirty friends OF Diaz have been
arrested in the last two days and 1sId
incommunicado in the jail on a charge OF
conspiracy against the government. Sow
eral of the men under arrest are wealthy
and prominent
Although 1t is dangerous to openly ex-
press sympathy for Diaz, much Is indi-
Gated in private conversation by ellis
former friends.
1t is not believed that any formal pro-
test will be made by the government
against the action OF Consul Canada and
Special Envoy Lind in aiding Diaz to cs-
cape arrest at Vera Cruz, although they
are Severely criticised in government cir
cles.

MEXICAN POLICY
IS Still Held UP
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.
,hy.Icsl elimination Of Husrta and his

physical elimination Of Huerta and his
regime.
Whether the President win ask the
powers to wait until. having pulled from
the dictator the prop OF their support.
he topples from his own weight. Is. Of
course, problematical. Unless he feels
that Europe may make another attempt
TO force his hand, this may be the ac-
fion taken by the President. However,
the possibility Of immediate recognition
CT the belligerency Of the constitutional
lists. and the raising Of the embargo on
munitions of war intended for them,
looms larger each day.
Pending the publication of President
Wilson's new policy. there is little to
Justify q premature verdict as to Its
effect upon the Monroe doctrine. Ii
can be stated upon high authority that
the President has shown no disposition
to permit any foreign power to en-
ercach upon the Monroe doctrine, and
1t Is not to be expected that at this
time he Is going to offer an opportunity
for what would be eventually the en-
tering wedge. There will be no con-
certed action looking TO the displacement
OF Huerta and the establishment OF an
other administration. President Wilson
has turned that proposition down once
