NADER0'S FATE LOOMS Up
Dictator Expected to Cult at Any Mo-
mcnt or Be Thrown Into Prison.
General Banquet Active.

Provisional President HIerta Of
Mexico is hourly expected o resign
under summary orders from tLe men
who hitherto have been his q lest
advisers and supporters.
The dictator IS scid to have been
virtually backed to the wall by Gen.
eral Banquet, minister of war; other
cabinet members and the bankers OF
the capital, who are witnessing the de-
struction Of their business and the
grim chance OF invasion.
1t is plainly apparent now to all OBJ
servers Of the situation that talk OF
financial blockade OF the nation, with
all the countries OF Europe backing
the United States, has convinced ad-
ministraiion officials that it is time to
quit
1t is reported that Huerta was p'ac'
ticslly under arrest at BlanQ"ots hone
Wednesday and was allowed 10 10 g
only when he promised to chi. !: ;.
Blanquet is said to have Shc"'T /

United States was madness. 4 o" /
train has been ordered by the 50 -
ment to be in readiness to go to Vera
Cruz.
The imminence of armed interTaa-
ton by the United States, hitherto
looked upon dspassicnately, now as
sumes grave import in view OF Eu.
ropes apparent acquiescence 10 the
United States policy.
Huerta has not yet definitely ex-
pressed his relinQuishm ent OF defiance
to the United States. II he ratires, as
it seems certain he must, it will not De
from personal surrender to Uni'ed
States demands, bit VII be by reason
of revolt on the part of his frlen4s
against him.
It is possible that some sort OF cop
d'etat, similar to the ore which Ma.
dero's supporters turned upon him.
may not overthrow Hgcrta. History
may repeat itself to the extent of land
ing Huerta ia the military prison just
as It did for the slain president.
Charge O'Shaushne3sy expresses
confidence that the United States Will
accomplish its aims through carly con-
ferences in Mexico City, but he is reti-
cent as to details.
If this is true, the steps toward
clearing the situation will lie. grst, the
appointment Of a man satisfactory 10
the Constituencies and feGe:als as
interim president, and next, arrange
ment for an early election.
John Lind, personal representative
of President Wilson, may quickly be
called back to Mexico City, or he may
receive a commission representing the
Huerta administration at Vera Cruz.
The storm cloud, at all events, has
apparently passed.

DEFENDS WHIPPING
POST IN CONGRESS
Delaware Man Quotes Bible, Law
Books and Roosevelt

The bareback whipping of convicts
in Delaware was defended in the house
by Representative Brockscn, of that
state, in a speech that brisHled with
Biblical quotations and legal citations
in favor of the rod and thou shalt de-
liver his soul from he'll.
Mr.. Prockson declared as false the
charge that Delaware had admins
tered cruel and unusual punishment,
and said tle practice OF making mar"
tyrs of criminals was curse to mod
ern society.
The sta'e Of Delaware" Mr.. Brock
son declared, being satisfied OF the
Justice of her laws, is wiling to stand
alone for that which is right rather
than to stand with the multitude for
that which is wrong.
"All through the Bible" cried he,
I'VE are taught that corporal punish
mcnt does have a good effect. With
ho;d not correction from the child. for
if thou beatest him with the rod he
shall not de-" he quoted. ""Thou
shalt beat him with the rod and thou
shalt deliver his soul from hell
Mr.. Brockson quoted Theodore Roose-
Welt as saying, when president, that
certain offenders needed a special
type of punishment and that prob
ably some form of corporal punish
ment would be the most adequate way
of meeting this kind of crime (wife
beating).
A resolution by Representative
Evans, of Montana, to direct the presi-
dent and attorney general to bring in
junction proceedings against the Della
ware authorities to prevent the whip
ping of prisoners at New Castle, Del,
was left by the house without action.

Petition in Bankruptcy Filed
Against H. B. Hollis & Co.

BILE In Mexico.
The suspension of H. B. HELMS C
Co., the banking and brokerage firm,
was announced on the Stock Exchange
in New York.
An involuntary petition in bank
rao.cy was filed against the firm in
the United States district court short
ly after the suspension was announc-
ed. by three creditors with claims ag-
gregating the nominal sum of S6Gl.
The petition sets forth that the firms
liabilities amount ito s5.000,000, with
assets of some $4,000.
The failure of the firm caused a
furry in Wall street, and it was feared
that the result of the collapse would
be reflected. Strong financial interests
rallied to the support of the market,
however, and declines in the security
list were checked.
The petition stated that the failure
ras due TO the withdrawal Of large de-
posits, which impaired the firms cap
i;al.
A. Leo Everett was appointed re-
ceiver, under bond of $4,000.
According to an announcement
made shortly after the suspension, R.
R. Gavin retired from the firm on Sept
6. Although Mr. Gav;n's name Is IN.
cluded in the list Of members pub.
lished in the latest Stock EXchange d.
rectory, it was announced that his re-
tirement was published at the time.
H. B. Hollins & Co. was one Of The
Oldest firms in Wall street. being re-
organized il 1892 from the first firm OF
Hollins & Co., which came into being
in 1878.
During the formation of the New
York Central system the banking COM
pany represented the Vanderbilt group
and purchased the Omaha road and
other lines which were amalgamated
into the New York Central railroads
system.
After the Spanish-Ame;ic an war the
banking house purchased a number OF
tobacco industries, which were subse.
quently sold to the American Tobacco
company, the tobacco trust" at big
profit.
II. B. Hollins & Co. also dealt ex-
tensively in Central American and
Mexican securities. The troubles in
Mexico are said 10 have cost the firm
r vast an. n.ount of money, and tbs was
one of the causes contributing to its
failure.
According to Wall street gossip TIL
firm was hard hit by the panic OF 1907.
Rumors were current at that time that
]. P. Morgan, Mr.. Hollins' close friend,
came to its aid and prevented its sus-
pension then. 1t has been frequently
reported since that William K. van
derbilt gave the firm financial help
from time to tine.

TRAINNEN WIN
WAGE INCREASE
Are Granted 7 Per Cent Raise,
About Half Of Demand.
AFFECTS ABOUT 100000 men
Report of the Arbitration Board Is
Made Public In New York, Ending
Long Fight.

, The loug-lived controversy Det"eah
the railroads of the east and their con-
ductors and trainmen over the latter s
demands for more pay is ended.
The employees receive an increase III
wages averaging seven per cent. anu
totaling sG,0O0,CO0 annually--aOout
half what they wanted-from Oct l
last, effective for one year. One nun
dred thousand men will share IN the
increase.
Under the federal law, which gov
erned the arbitration proceedings the
decision will be fled il New York IN
the United States district court.
The board of six arbitrators, TWO
representing the railroads, two for the
men and two neutral" began their
work in New York Sept. II.
Thus ends, by arbitration under the
Newlands amendment to the Erdman
act, q controversy that threa ened al
one time to tie up by a strike the
transportation facilities Of al states
east OF the Mississippi river and nofth
OF the Ohio river.
The award OF the arbitration COM
mission, filed in the federal dls;rlct
court, is binding and final. The two
board representatives of the employees
filed a minority report in addition and
the two representatives OF The forty
one railroads dissenting opinion.
In reaching its award the BOARD ruI-
ed mainly aaginst the employees Oh
four out of five points submitted as
reasons why the increase should be
granted and found for them on the
flfth-the increased cost Of living.
Since 1909, when last an increase was
granted, the arbitrators found that the
cost of living has increased seven per
cent. Certain minor conditions en-
braced also were conceded to the en-
ployas. It was, therefore, more than
a coincidence that the increase grant
ed in wages is exactly the Increase in
the cost of living, as outlined by docu-
ments introduced by the employees.
"The board does not found its action
entirely upon the increased cost OF
living" reads the award, a document
of seventy-fve printed pages, though
it looks upon this as basic"
