FOREIGN PROPERTY IN DANGER.
Threatened Confiscation by the FEEDER
al Authorities of Mexico.

Mexico City, Dec. 10.-The American
charge d'affaires, Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
recently notified Washington that the
property of foreign residents in the state
of Sinaloa was in imminent danger of
confiscation by the federal authorities as
a war measure. The charge has reeeiv-
ed instructions to investigate the consti
tutionality of the act and If he finds it
is not sanctioned by law, to register
protest with the Mexican government.
The confiscation of property has been
threatened in default of payment of a
per cent. tax arbitrarily imposed.
Foreigners generally have appealed
through their consuls to the diplomat
ic representative in the Mexican CAPT
tai.
Two banks and several commercial
houses have already closed their doors
and the condition of the people gener-
ally is becoming desperate from lack
of money.
The acting head of the finance de-
rartment told the French minister that
it was impossible for the central gov
ernmcnt to interfere, as 1t would be
an infringement of states rights. He
said. however, that he had telegraph
ed te the governor of Sinaloa suggest
ing moderation.
A parade of 200 young women in the
capital, today, reflected the impover-
ished condition to which many of the
smaller towns have been reduced
They were seamstresses thrown out of
employment by the closing of factories,
where the exclusive output consisted
of soldiers uniforms. These same wo-
men appealed to President Huerta, a
few days ago They went to the pal
ace, today, and again the President re-
fused to see them. Afterwards they
marched through the principal streets
displaying banners on which was in
scribed I'VE all want work" Huerta
has asked Congress again to vest him
with full executive powers to conduct
the affairs of the departments of war;
finance and the interior. That the re-
dictionary Catholic party element in
Congress has been induced to see
things from the Presidents point Of
view was indicated by speech made
in Congress, today, by Francisco Pas
quail Garcia, leader of the party, in
which he declared that he was con-
WINGED of the necessity of the country
being ruled by a dictator, but he be-
heved that the acts of the dictator
should be subject to congressional ap-
prevail.

FOR AN ARMISTICE.
Conservative Element Bring Pressure
To Bear on Huerta.

Mexico City. Dec. 1o.-Tentative eff
forts were made, today. by the Con-
servative element in the Mexican gov
eminent to induce Provisional Presi-
dent Huerta to ascertain if Gen.
Venustiano Carranza would be willing
to cease fighting for the purpose of
holding an election at which the Con-
stitutional- leader would be a candidate
for the Presidency Of the republic or
would name his choice for that Office.
1t is assumed in political circles that
Gen. Carranza would have opposition
in the Presidential race candidates
from the capital, named by the Catho-
lies and other political parties.

Two plain, untitled men, they say,
could practically automobile on their
own land, from the frontier all the
way to Seville, so numerous are the
mortgages on noble Spanish real es-
tate which fill their fireproof safes.
They are the money lending bache-
lors of the baccarat and doulet of the
Biarritz and San Sebastian casinos. In
most cases they do not push even for
the interest. They desire the gran
dees' presence more than a foreclosure.
They desire. indeed. that the gran
dees shall win, at baccarat particular
ly, where it is rot their money, and
even roulet with the layout fairly COW
cred, amounts more or less to a COM
mission game.
When one can borrow money to con-
tinue playing, baccarat and roulet
seem. for long time, almost in truth
what oldtime Americans called faro
bank" The losses seem mere de-
pisit; while to draw a check you have
but to win.
They win lots. A cendesa recently
bought two automobiles with some
$4,000 francs which she won in four
"bancos"-and she let the news be
published in the papers.
Every one is telling how three titled
women trimmed an Industrial prince
of Barcelona at bridge. With two
1000-franc bills of her winnings one
of them ran baecarat bank up to
$4,000 francs-and got away with the
money.
Also, she spent it. There you are.
That is the trouble. When they win
they spend their winnings. When
they lose, it comes out of their pocket!
And another mortgage on Spanish real
estate goes into the fireproof safe.

Radiant Energy.

From the Youths Companion
In recent address Prof StokIasa Of
Prague described the effect of rays from
radioactive bodies and OF ultra violet
rays, on animal and plant Organisms
Under some conditions these rad!ations
accelerate the termination of seeds and
the development of fungi. flowers and
leaves; under other conditions the "a dia
tons completely arrest these processes
Prof Stoklasa said that although weak
alpha rays from radium stimulate the
growth of plant and animal organismsm
the effect of intense rays Is destructive
The action of the more penetrating beta
rays on the nlycopla SINS of bacteria ana
the proto2lasms of plant and animal life
is similar 10 that of the ultraviolet ray.
OF short wavelength. Both the -vioIe
rays in sunlight and the radiations from
radio active bodies cause photosynthesis
which is the technical name OF the chemi
cal combina ton that takes place in the
chlorophyll cells OF plants and in nature
generally The action of ultraviolet light
on carbon dioxid and water produces ths
carbo- ydrates. such as starch. sugar and
cellulose. without which no form of life
can exist.
