REPUBLICANS CONTROL WHEEL

Republicans of Wheeling gained an.
other sweeping victory yesterday.
Mayor Kirk has been re elected by
an overwhelming majority. Control
OF the Board OF Control. and .1f both
branches OF council remain in the
hands OF Republicans While in one
or two cases. the personal popularity
or Democratic candidates has given
them highly complimentary vote. on
the whole, the result Is distinct
endorsement OF the city administra-
ton. and OF the local Republican or.
ganization.
Local elections a. a rule are not
decided as definitely on party lines as
elections Of national Importance
Nevertheless the Republican party in
Wheeling had strong claim 10 the
loyalty and support OF the voters. For
nearly twenty years this city has had
"a Republican city administration
During all OF that time IL has had a
clear Republican majority in Council
and most OF the citys administrative
officers have belonged 10 the same
party. \ party is tested By the ad
ministration It gives community:
and measured by that standard the
Republican party had nothing to be
ashamed Of in the administration OF
the City OF Wheeling.
lt has given this city an economical
city government
II has ,-avEIaa
partment and improved water service.
cheap system OF street lighting. and
on the whole an efficient police de.
psrtment at a minimum expense.
It has undertaken and carried
through many important works. such
as the improvement OF the water
plant, the building OF the creek bridge.
the rehabilitation o; the health de-
partment, and an extensive program
OF street improvement now under
way.
II has done all these things without
imposing heavy burdens upon the tax
payers, and It has done them without
scandal
Here and there IN the admlnistra-
ton Of the city affairs have been
faults, but these faults have not been
glazing and have not been many. on
the whole the administration Of this
city during the past twenty years
would compare very ,avorably with
the administration OF any other city
or political organization in the United
States, and in many respects q, has
been far superior to the adminis,ra-
tion o; any other city IN West Vir.
ginia or in this section OF the coun-
Try.
For these reasons. the voters n.
Wheeling were entirely Justified in
extending vote o, confidence N the
Republican party and in bringing
about. continued Republican admins
tration.

MEXICAN
BANKS AGAIN
OPEN TODAY

BY United Press Staff Correspondent.
MEXICO CITY, Dec. 23.-All OF ihe
banks Of Mexico City, including the
Bank of London and Mexico and the
other institutions reported to be weak,
opened for business as usual today. The
Bank of London and Mexico made only
part payment to hundreds OF depositors,
who under police protection formed in
long lines at the doors The decree is
sued by General Huerta yesterday max
ing a national holiday from December
% to December 81, believed to be de-
signed to aid the banks, gave them the
privilege OF remaining closed until after
January but none of them took adj
vantage of the decree today.
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, American
charge d'affairs, did not attend the re-
ception today given by General Huerta
to the diplomatic corps, TO celebrate
Huerta's birthday and SAINTS day.
British interests, 1t was reported
here today, have a new scheme to
buy out Huerta for 100000 pesos
and to seat new provisional presi-
dent Of their own selection.
The Washington government is said
to be cognizant of the plan, as out
lined by London bankers 70 bankers
In the capital. The idea, in outline,
is as follows:
Lord Cowdray, head of the Pearson
Oil Syndicate on January 1, plans to
sell to the Mexican government its
fifty-year right to one-third of the
earnings of the Tehuantepec railway,
for 12,000,000 pesos, paid in Mexican
bonds. Three million pesos is to be
converted into cash and is to revert to
the president of the Mexican govern
ment, of which Huerta is the head.
When the proposed deal is concluded,
the story goes, Huerta is to resign
and the British interests will demand
the right TO name his successor as
provisional president. The British
government will request all other ma
IONS. including the United States to
recognize the new provisional presi-
dent until a bona-fide national cleo
tlon can be held.
The English promoters of the
scheme are said to believe the only
hitch that might arise, would be the
reputation by the United States OF
the Mexican bonds that Cowdray
would get from Huerta's government.

GIRL DRUCCED,
DIES SOON AFTER
BY The limited Press

By The United Press.
CHICAGO, Dec. 23-That a pretty
young girl, believed to be Hannah
Loushlir, OF Battle Creek, Mich. whc
was found dying in an alley In the
stockyards district, was drugged.
stripped of her clothing and carried
in an automobile to the spot where
she was found, was the theory upon
which the police we're working to-
day.
The girl died early today. Once dur
ing the night she opened her lips as if to
speak, but while hospital attendants
were pressing her to tell how she came
to be in the alley, nude, save for small
apron tied about her waist, she lapsed
into unconsciousness.
Physicians said the girl had not been
drinking, but that she showed some evil
denees of having been drugged. Blood
tricSled from a slight scalp wound, the
only mark upon her body. Exposure
caused her death.
