announced that although 19 hunters
ard guides had been killed in New

death while hunting deer. OF these

comparatively small loss of life to
the enforcement of the recent buck
law which it eharacterizes as not
only a great protection to the deer.
but also a gratifying conservator of
human life."
This buck law requires hunter to
taken no deer except those having
horns three inches long. This made

MAXIM REMAINS LOYAL
To Maine in Mexican Matter, Though
He Lives in England.

London, Nov 16.-Englishmen who
had forgotten that Sir Hiram Maxim
| is by birth a Maine Yankee mad occa-
| sion to be reminded of it. last week,
when the well-known inventor of the
automatic field gun ana various high
explosives took up the cudgels in de-
fense of the Wilson policy in Mexico.
| This policy had been attacked by va
| rious London papers as one actuated
| by the desire for the expansion of ter
ritory.
Sir Hiram in letter to The Morn
ing Post asks: We'll, why not?" He
declares that both the English and
the Americans are eonquerlng nations
and what they have conquered has
ever been for the advancement and
| betterment of the world at large Some
of his ideas on the Mexican war of
1s46-4S came as a surprise to British
observers of American politics. For
example:
1t is quite true that the Southern
slave holding states had complete con-
troll of the government at Washington
and We're responsible for the Mexican
war. At that time the South observed
with great deal of concern the rapid
growth of the great Northwest, and
they wished 10 acquire territory south
| to balance it. During the slave hold
ers' rebellion Napoleon III sent large
French army to Mexico, conquered the
country, made it into an empire and
placed poor, misguided Maximillian on
the throne. As soon as the South
had been crushed by the armies of
the North (the North having more
than q million men under arms) Max
imillian was invited TO get out of
Mexico. | remember the refrain of a
popular patriotic song at the time:
No empire shall be south of us,
And north of us no foe,
We'lis make that Maximillaa
Get out of Mexico, get out of Mexico.
1T is very certain that Tie Mexi-
cans would not have been anle to drive
out the French army, but it only re-
quired one word from Washington that
the Monroe Doctrine would be enforc-
ed when Napoleon withdrew his troops.
Maximillian was captured and shot,
and Mexico was herself again. Ger
tainly this was a good turn on the
part of the United States. There were
people living in those days that claim
ed that the United States ought to
have but one boundary, and that only
about 40 miles long"

IN MEXICO CITY.

1t is stated authoratively that these
three ministers assured Gen. Huerta
that unless the minister of the interior
was removed they would resign. Man.
uel Garza Aldape was designated, to-
night, by the Provisional President to
60 to Europe in fulflment of some un-
determined special mission. Senior Al
dape's friends think it is possible that
he may be named to succeed Francisco
De La Barra as minister to France.
Senior De La Barra has been ordered to
act as special ambassador to present the

Mexico City, Nov. 16.-Manuel Gar
"a Aldape. minister of the interior. at
the request of President Huerta, pre-
sented his resignation, late last night.
The reason for the retirement of the
minister is not known, but 1t is belleV-
ed to have been due to the activity of
Sencf Cara Aldape in endeavoring to
bring about compliance by Huerta to
the demands of Washington to relin-
quish the Presidency. The minister had
conferred previously with Nelson
O'Shaughnessy, the American charge
d'affaires, on the subject of re-opening
negotiations with John Lind, Presi-
dent Wilson's personal representative,
looking to a settlement of the trouble
betw cen Mexico and tn United States.
Senor Manuel Cara Aldape was. the
last remaining cabinet officer appoint
ed by agreement between President
Huerta and Gen. Felix Diaz at the
close of the 10-days battle in the cop
ital, in February. The agreement was
signed in the American embassy. Teh
other ministers then chosen have since
been eliminated one by one. Cara AL
dape first was named for the portfolio
ef minister of agriculture, an office
that was to have been created. but
never was. Later he became minister
of public instruction and afterwards
was transferred to the department of
formentc.
Fer short time he was acting min
lister of foreign affairs, pending the ar
rival in Mexico of Federico Gamboa,
minister to Holland and Belgium, who
had been given the portfolio. Garza Al

The Brothers Story.
Robert Paradis. who was walking with
his brother at the time of the accident
told his story to the Journal reporter:
I'VE hired a team at the livery stable
near Keley's book store and were go
ing out to see our brother, Joseph, who
lives on farm about six miles out We
took our time coming along and let the
horse go easy. When We got to the hill,
George says: Let's walk up so he and
got out and began to walk, about four
feet behind the team. Tom was ahead
in the buggy. which was hooded on three
sides and could not see us. We heard a
funny whizzing noise and then a sound
as IL something like lead or iron had
struck the tire of the wagon or rock,
and before We had chance to say any
thing, George cried: My God, I'm shot.
and fell in the road
There was no report of a gun and no
smoke to tell where the bullet came

that he was badly hurt, but | stopped

l could sight anyone, but with the big
bushes on the right, the same side OF
the road George was walking along, and
an open field on the left, I couldn't see
thing.
Naturally ] was excited and thought
only of getting a doctor for George We
put him in the carriage and took him
to Mr.. Matthew's, where everything
possible was done for him. The doctors
came in about half an hour, and fixed
his wound.
Il don't know who did the shooting
and neither does George
Robert is baker and is employed by
the Often bakery on Temple street, and
lives with the third brother, Thomas,
at 8 Head of the Falls Both are unmar-
ried.
The victim of the shooting is employed
at the repair department at the railroad
shops. He lives with his wife and in
rant child on Ticonic street above
Brooks. Mrs. Paradis was almost hysteri-
cal after she learned of the shooting.
Another family nearby also had a
George Paradis. 17-year-old boy, and
before the exact details of the shooting
reached the neighborhood, both families
We're in terrible state of anxiety.
FROM the course the bullet took after
II entered the body, it is evident that
II struck on an angle. coming from the
right. More or less mystery surrounds
the shooting since no gun reports had
been heard by any of the people living
IN the neighborhood, during the day.
Late tonight, the physicians in at
tendance upon Paradis operate and
Ioiiowed the course of the bullet,
through the abdominal cavity, taking
IN all 81 stitches. They sewed up an
opening in the pancreas and found
four rents in the mesentery. a drain
was left where the bullet went through
the muscles of the back.
Physicians, state the chances of re-
covery are slight, and hold out but
little hope of his living through the

LEE QUITS STATE SERVICE

George A. Lee, chairman of the
public service commission, whose
resignation from the state service
has been in the hands of Gov. Lister
since January Is, has requested the
governor to name his successor prior
to April 1st.
Mr.. Lee announces that he will
enter private practice with Judge
B. S. Grosscup as his pardner, the
new firm of Grosscup & Lee to have
offices in Seattle. 1t is rumored that
either Judge M. M. Goldman, of
Seattle or w. N. Dumphy of Walla
Walla may be named to succeed to
Mr.. Lees place on the commission.
The fact that Judge Grosscup is
attorney for the Northern Pacific
Irrigation Co. makes the above an
nouncement of more than passing
interest to Kennewick Valley water
users who recently received an ad-
verse decision at the hands of the
public service commission.

TOWN SUFFERS
''CR|ME WAVE"
Harness Thieves Sent to Jail
Kjosness Misses a Brand
Span-New Wagon

There can be no doubt now but
that Kennewick needs her three
policemen. Three robberies in the
past week have been committed.
And each one of the articles stolen
pertains to farmers list of imple-
ments-not that we mean to insin-
uate at all that it was some farmers
doings. Last Friday two sets of
harness and saddle were filched,
in broad daylight, from a stable in
town. Wednesday night the Kjos-
ness Mercantile Co. lost a fine, new
$50 "Old Hickory" wagon.
The wagon was on display on the
the platform alongside their store.
Some time in the night the thief,
who was evidently a good judge of
vehicles, hooked on and started off.
Chief Ferrell (nose to the ground
and ears fopping) followed the trail
to near Wallula, across the ferry, and
is still on the job at the time we 60
to press, with every prospect of re-
turning with the miscreants.
Fridays affair was committed by
two hoboes, who were caught and
confessed. These men, John Ross,
alias John Hamilton, and Joe Webb
were sentenced by Judge Staser to
30 days at the county jail. They
were taken to Prosser Monday night
by deputy sheriff.
However, in their confession, the
two men owned up to the theft of
but one set of harness, which they
had sold. This was, of course, re-
turned to the owner, but the other
set and the saddle are still missing.
1t is the opinion of the police that
the same men took the whole busi-
ness and that they have succeeded
in hiding the remainder, so Jim
Irwin and A. E. Campbell are out"
the price of a saddle and harness.
Later-Campbell has a picture
and the measurement of a footprint
made by one of the fugitives, and
is waiting for snow, that he may
give the clue to ex-U. S. Secret Ser
vicer Lawson, it is reported.
