Dlaz Reaches Vera Cruz

Vera Cruz, Oct. 22.-The steamship
Corcovado with General Felix Dia2
on board ana the German protected
cruiser Hertha arrived here today.
General Felix Diaz landed without
hindrance at II o'clock this morn
ing He was cheered as he came
ashore, by several hundred people Of
the working classes, who had assem-
bled on the quay. He went imme-
'diately to the residence Of his moths
er-in-law. He said in reply to inquir-
les that he would not withdraw from
The presidential candidacy even
though he were competing against
The fluerta ticket
An agent Of the Mexican govern
ment called on General Diaz while he
was still on board the steamer and
attempted to induce him to continue
his voyage to Tampico but General
Diaz refused to do so.
The Hertha anchored under the
walls Of the fortress of San Juan de
Ulloa, not 200 yards from the Corco-
yado, After the Corcoyado had been
inspected by the authorities, a boat
put off from the Hertha and set two
officers on board the steamship on
which General Diaz had made the voy-
age here.
AS a result Of the display of force
of rural guards only small group Of
partisans of General Diaz gathered to
greet their leader. At o'clock Diaz
had not yet landed, owing to the Sc
ries Of delays said to have been caus-
ed by the formalities of the port au-
thorities.
The sending Of the German officers
on board the Corcoyado is explained
by the fact that she is a German yes
sci and the commander of the Hertha
intended to see that General Diaz was
not molested so long as he remained
on board

BETTER Land LAWS
ASKED III MINERS
MEETING OF DELIVERS IN PHiLA-
GELPhiA HEARS THE LATEST
PROPOSITION

Philadelphia, oct. 22.-The time
has come for a revision Of the land
laws to bring them up to date, ac-
cording to DR.. James Douglas Of New
York, whose paper on public lands
was read at today's session Of the
American Mining congress, pr. Doug
lass. assehted that while the land
laws were liberal, it was only under
such laws that the country could
have developed.
Dr. George Otis Otis Smith, direc-
tor of the United States geological
survey, Washington, held that the
arst essential Of mining land legisla-
ton should be that no provision in
the law should place any unneces-
sary charge, burden or operating cost
on the operator. He favored leas-
law rather than the present method
Of selling government coal lands, at
an appraised valuation.
Any scheme Of selling undeyeloped
resources involves uncertainties IN
valuation, he added. Leasin, holds
DR.. Smith, has the advantage over
permanent alienation in that it al
lows the government to exercise con
tinaea control, in the public interest

cARAvELs ARE LEAKY

Chicago, Oct. 22 Because Of hard
ships encountered in navigation on
the Great Lakes the proposed cruise
Of the Columbus carayels through the
Panama canal to san Francisco for
the exposition in 1915, has been aban-
doned and the three vessels, Pinta,
Nina and Santa Maria, will be re-
turned to this city, This was the in
formation received mere last night
from Cleveland, where the caravels
are in winter boat yar,s.
The old boats, which we're built
for the Chicago exposition in 1893
are said to have sprung several leaks
weathering storms in the trip from
Chicago to Cleveland. 1t had been
the expectation to repair them at
Montreal before the ocean cruise was
begun, but the plan is said not to
have warranted the cost

POINTS OUT IT'S EFFECTS
DECLARES DISASTER MIGHT RE-
SUIT ON ACCOUNT or ITS
OPERATIONS
in GENERAL IT is GOOD
But THERE ARE IMPORTANT
CHANGES WHICH SHOULD
BE CONSIDERED

Washington, Oct. 22.-Alexander
Gilbert president Of the Market and
Fulton National bank of New York,
while endorsing the general principles
of the administration bill, told the
senate banking committee today that
the details had not been fully worked
out Senator Hitchcock had pointed
out that it provided for the appoint-
ment Of a receiver for any federal re-
serve bank which might violate the
law.
In the event Of the appointment
Of a receiver and the banks closing
its doors" the senator said, "the re-
serves and funds Of perhaps thou
sands of banks throughout the dis
trict covered by the reserve bank
would be tied up beyond hope What
would be the result?"
Disaster would be general" re-
piled Mr.. Gilbert, and that point EN-
phasizes the fact that you gentlemen
should not hasten consideration Of
this bill. There are many points Of
that kind. You gentlemen don't I'M
derstand this bill. the country does
not understand it. Yen know only
the surface features Of the bill A
great deal Of study and deliberation
Will be necessary to make sure that
when this East machinery is put into
operation it will work right
Because if it does not work right
annoyances and even disaster may re-
suit. Time is not an essential ele-
ment. The old system is working
well. No evil portents appear in the
financial sky It viii pay you gen
tlemen and it win pay the country to
work out the details Of this bill to an
absolute certainty"
Mr.. Gilbert went over with the com
mittee today the activities Of the
New York Clearing House association
and It's conduct during the 1907 panic.
He recommended that to avoid any
initiation of the currency, under the
new system, the bill be amended to
require a 50 per cent gold reserve to
be held against the new circulating
notes. instead Of 3s 1-3 per cent as
the bill proposes. Senator Pomerena
Of the committee and .. supporter Of
the administration bill, discussed the
situation at length with President
Wilson.
THE views Of members Of the COM
mittee," he said, "are harmonizing.
With unanimous report, the bill
will not be debated long on the floor
Of the senate

Washington, oct. 22.- Diplomatic
exchanges between Ambassador Page

to the effect that Great Britain's
present attitude in Mexico is likely
10 continue. Indications that Sir
Lionel Garden, British minister to
Mexico, does not sympathize with
the American policy toward Huerta
has caused concern. here, and while
some officials said they are not seek
ing European support, it was made
plain they did not desire any factor
injected into the situation from Eur
ope that would impede the United
States.
It is not unlikely, therefore, that
the reported statement of the British
minister that the United States did
not understand conditions in Mexico
would be the subject of further in

Trouble Scented by Papers

London, Oct. 22-The London
newspapers are only just awakening
to the possibility of an embodiment
between the United States and Great
Britain over the Mexican situation.
Their warnings heretofore have all
emanated from washington and New
York correspondents, the views Of the
British government as made known
in the United States through the As
sociated Press, not having been pub.
lished here.
The Pail Mall Gazette today says:
"There is evidently a grave misun-
derstanding betewen England and the
United States in regard to the Mex
lean crisis, which should be speedily
relieved. There are elements Of dan
ger in the situation, which may arouse
strong feeling on both sides of the
Atlantic
1T cannot be denied that President
Wilson had some grounds for com
plant against British policy in Mex.

considers a grave mistake was made
by the British foreign offices hasty
recognition Of Huerta which was in
such marked contrast with its dignifi-
ed delay in recognizing King Peter

Church SAFE
BLOWN BY YEGGS
CENTRAL METHODIST CHURCH
MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED
DOLLARS SUNDAY NIGHT.
SAFE CONTAINING THE MONEY
CRACKED BY THIEVES.
The Strong Box Was Taken to the
Hallway, Piled UP With Pew
Cushions and Dynamited.

Detroit-The safe of the Central
Methodist Episcopal church here was
blown open by yeggmen and robbed
of more than 5000. The money was
mostly cash, which had been taken
up in the Sunday collections. Being
the first Sunday of the month the col
lection was heavier than usual, most
of the contributions being paid in
monthly installment9
1t is the belief that the safe blow
ers entered by the main entrance to
the office on Adams avenue and then
departed by the rear door, opening
near the alley. The heavy safe was
rolled on a large iron pipe about so
feet, being moved from the Office to
a place in the hallway. About 90 cush-
ions, taken from the pews of the
church, robes, cloaks, etc, were piled
over the safe to deaden the sound of
the explosion.
The safe stood in the church Office
under a window facing Adams avenue.
To keep out of sight OF passersby, it
was necessary to move it into the
hallway which has no windows facing
the outside. An electric light wire
was run from the Office of DR.. II.
Lester Smith, the pastor, to the hall
way, where the men did their work.
Central Methodist church has been
the scene of several robberies during
the last few years. 1t seems TO be
mark for thieves and burglars Dur
ing the last few months petty thieves
have been causing trouble by steal
In large numbers and fixtures.
