P0PPER'S ANSWER TO LIST
ceIilst's Gentle Retort to the Com
possr's Seeming Attack on the
jewish Race.

Among the anecdotes told about tho
late David Pepper is an interesting
one relating to LisEt II Is we'll known
that many Of the pages attributed to
Liszt were really written by the Prin-
cess Sayn-Wittgenstein. The most
fragrant instance was the insertion by
her in one OF his books of some pages
attacking the Jews and advising their
deportation in body to Palestine.
List was greatly annoyed at this, for
such sentiments were entirely foreign
to his character, and many of his best
friends we're Jews; among them David
Pepper, the famous violoncellist. Not
long after the appearance of the book
referred to Pepper made a call on
Aszt, who was delighted to see him.

After the eggs are taken the fish
are sold by the state to defray a por-
tion of the expense. Each female fish
will give up 10000 eggs, or about one
quart. OF course. many eggs are lost
in handling, but James Hunter, who
has supervised this work for the state

100000 eggs will probably be taken
during the next few weeks.

HUERTA RETAINS

ELECTION IN MEXICO FAILS TO

MAJORITY.
VERY LIGHT VOTE is PoLLED n
REPUBLIC.
England Announces That She Will
Take No Further Eteps Without
Consulting Policy of Uni
ted States.

Mexico City-This city took on the
appearance of an armed camp as re-
turns from scattered election districts
made it certain that no candidate had
received a majority of the votes cast
In the presidential contest. Though
no disorders attended the balloting
here Sunday, and there was no distur-
bance during the night. troops were
brought into the city at dawn to pre-
vent riots on PRONUNCIATION of official
announcement from the government
that the balloting had resulted in mo
election"
The result of the election means
that Victoriano Huerta will remain in
Office as president. In the returns
that have been received thus far
FREDERICK Gamboa, former minister of
foreign affairs, and Felix Diaz are
running a close race, but the number
of votes cast is less than one-third
Of the total voting strength of the
republic, which is required by the
constitution to make an election le-
gal.
The outstanding feature Of the cleo
ton is the fact that it has only
strengthened Huerta in his position
ks dictator. That Huerta had no doubt
that the election would fail was borne
out by his decree increasing the
strength of the Mexican army from
80, 900 to 100000.
Prescriptions that the election
would be a farce were fully borne out
by the scenes at the polling places on
Sunday. In some precincts not vote
was cast, and latest figures indicate
that not more than 1000 were cast fol
all the candidates in the federal dis
trict, although there are $4,000 regis
tered voters in that section of the re
public alone.
Before taking any further steps in
regard to Mexico, England intends tc
await the results of the elections in
that country and also information as
to the policy of the United States.
Information was given out at the
foreign office that nothing would be
done without consultation with the
United States.
