Members of Organization Say
he will Never Dictate
Another Nomination.
THERE'LL Be ANOTHER DAY
This is How Vanquished Chief
Answers all who Criticise his
Management of Campaign.

New York, Nov. ). Charles F.
Murphy will never dictate the
nomination of another candidate
for office nor manage another
campaign for fammany Hall.
This was the positive declaration
by SIX of the foremost leaders of
that organization tonight.
Murphy himself answered all
questions by saying:
There will be another day"
Mccall, the Tammany candi-
date for mayor, left the boss to
do the explaining. He left the
city for an indefinite stay at Hot
Springs.
Aside from his defeat in New
York City, the worst blow dealt
Murphy is the fact that he will
now be ignored absolutely in the
administration of New York
State affairs.
The name most heard in con-
nection with the leadership of
Tammany Hall, after the retire
ment of Murphy, is that of Maui
rice Featherston.
Murphy attempted to take his
defeat goodnaturedly today. He
was at his desk in Tammany Hall
at the usual hour.
Mitchell has announced that
he will drive me out of New York
politics, has he?" said the boss.
We'll, in the light of what has
happened we must make some
allowances for Mitchell. 1t is up
to him to worry. not me.
One thing stands out beyond
all others as a result of the New
York election. Mitchell and his
associates will control the board
of estimates and all the admins
tive departments of the city gov.
ernment Little was left to Tam
many after the votes had been
counted Murphy saved a few
scattering offices, but he lost his
county ticket including the fat
Office of sheriff.

Mexico City, Nov. 7. "Huer-
ia has decided to resign and turn
the government over to Senor
Moheno; in fact he has already
done so."
This statement was made this
afternoon by Emilio Rabaso, who
was appointed minister to Wash
ington by Huerta. but who has
had no opportunity to occupy the
post because of the nonrecogni-
ton of the Huerta government
by the United States Senior Ra-
sSsaso made1 Lie statsmeu5 quoted
in conversation with Francisco
Seraldo, a prominent lawyer.
Official confirmation of Pabaso
statement could not be obtained
tonight.
Talk through the city today
has been of impending war be-
tween Mexico and the United
States, but no sign Of anti-Amer-
lean feeling has been noticeable.
The government is picking up
all idle men for the armv and
Worklngmen nave to show pass
es proving they are employed,
otherwise they are forced into
the ranks. At least a thousand
day are being recruited in this
city alone. and the same activity
is reported from all over the
country.
Many wealthy Mexican fami-
lies are fastening out of the
country and the exodus of Amer
leans and other foreigners con-
tinues.
Great interest is taken in a
long conference which took place
this evening between Sir Lionel
Garden, the British minister,
and Special Envoy Lind, at the
United States embassy. The
subject of the conference was the
apparent impasse in the negotia-
tions between the United States
and Mexico and the Importance
of immediate action being taken
to bring about a solution of the
difficulty.

people from all portions of this
and neighboring counties having
come here to see the great Hag-
enbeck- Wallace show.
While the crowd was perhaps
not quite as large as the one
which came here last fall to wit
ness the Barnum and Bailey show
it was nevertheless of goodly
proportions, and throughout the
day the city presented quite an
animated appearance. The
people began to arrive early,
and during the morning hours
the business district was crowded
the streets through which the
parade passed having been liter
ally packed with a mass of eager,
expectant men, women and chill
dren, all intent upon seeing the
ponderous elephants, the gilded
chariots, the gaily cararisoned
horses, the funny clowns, the
more or less beautiful women and
other things both animate and in
animate which go to make up a
well regulated circus pageant,
The parade passed through the
streets some where around eleven
O'Clock, and after it had conclud

MONDAY meal Most of the bon
afide Columbians went to their
homes for dinner, while the visi-
tors from the rural districts and
neighboring towns made hasty
attack upon the restaurants.
Sandwiches, pie, coffee, coca-cola
and other refreshments, both
liquid and solid, were served as
rapidly as the caterers could pass
them oven the counters, and the
appetites of the hungry sight
seers were soon appeased.
About one o'clock the scene OF
animation began to shift from
the business district to TIE show
grounds, and when the Afternoon
performance commencedkan houl
later the big tent was filled will
people. The performance was {
most pleasing one. There were
many daring aerial acts, number
less bareback riders. a company
of mirth-provoking clowns,
galaxy of comely and well pre-
portioned women and other at
fractions galore, while the trick
and antics of the trained animal
formed special feature which
deserves the highest encomium
Another large audience wit
messed the evening performance
and again the spectators wer,
highly pleased.

Washington. March 27.-M. O. Leighton.
chief photographer of the United States
Geological Survey and one Of the most
eminent authorities in the country on
hoods believes that system OF storage
reservoirs In regions endangered by floods
Is the only practicable precaution that
can be taken to prevent such catastrophies
as nave been experienced in Ohio and
ihuiana. Owing. however. to the fat
ness of the devastated country in Ohio.
IL is doubtful that such a system could
be established there.
In most sections a system of storage
reservoirs would afford protection and
actually minimize the danger" said Mr..
Leighton to-day. Such control of the
waters of the principal rivers would also
have many industrial and commercial
benefits"
Speaking with particular reference TO
the Ohio situation, Mr.. Leighton de-
clared:
No work that could have been built
by the hand of man could have pre-
vented It, II is one of those things that
no human agency could withstand. Old
