PROBING ANTHRACITE RATES.
Interstate Commerce Commission Begins
Investigation Into Tariffs.

Philadelphia, Nov. Is With three
representatives OF the Jersey Central
railroad on the stand the interstate com
merce commissions investigation of an
thracite coal tariffs began here yester-
day. Their testimony was merely intro
ductory and covered statements of the
routes and methods of transporting coat
across the state.
The official inquiry is expected by
many to cause a readjustment of rates,
reducing the price of hard coal to con
sumers. 1t is directed to determine the
"rates, practices, rules and regulations
governing the transportation of anthra-
cite coal" and, according to Commission
er Marble, who is presiding, the leading
railroads in the East will be called upon
to prevent evidence.
Edward f. Kerwin, superintendent of
the Jersey Central at Jersey City; Will
liam Sweeney, division superintendent,
and William II. Barron, yardmaster at
izabethport, N. j., were the witnesses
at Yesterdays first session.

WASHINGTON HEARS
NO NEW REPORT
Wilson Met His Cabinet To-day and
Talked Over Mexican Situation
Report of Blockade Some
what Previous.

Washington, d. G., Nov. ls.--Presi-
dent Wilson and cabinet met to-day and
discussed the latest phases of the Mexi-
can situation. Overnight Developments
apparently brought no change, but keen
interest was shown in the organization
of the new Mexican Congress.
Some of the officials are understood
to believe that that body would heed
the warning of the United States and
take no action on concessions. Talk of
a blockade OF Mexican ports was re-
vived, but high officials said such step
had not been determined upon. Many
moves are under consideration, but the
foremost advisers of the administration
are counselling patience while the con-
sttutionalists pursue their campaign.
The report that General Carranza
might not need to have the embargo on
arms lifted to insure success strength
ened the conviction of many officials
that such action should be taken only
in remote contingency.

Is Huerta's Allowing New
Mexican Congress to
Organize
MEXICANS THINK
u, S. Is BLUFFING
Still There Is Current Re-
port That Huerta Will
Resign

Mexico City, Nov. ls.-The completion
of the preliminary organization OF both
branches of the Mexican Congress is re-
garded here as putting the final touch
on Huerta's defiance. Surprise was
caused here to-day by the publication OF
Washington dispatches indicating that
President Wilson does not contemplate
anv active measures tending to support
the notification given by John Lind to
Huerta, warning him against permitting
the new Congress to convene
Talk of the possibility OF Huerta re-
signing still is heard but all the acts
and utterances of the provisional presi-
dent are calculated to dissipate the idea
that he has any such intention. 1t has
been suggested that Washington has
been given assurance that Huerta wont
resign to the new Congress after it has
ratified his acts since the dissolution
Of the former Congress. Mexican ofli-
Gals seems convinced that the United
States is bluffing.
Giudad Victoria, capital of Tamauli-
pas, reported several days ago to have
been captured by the rebels, is alleged
in dispatches published here to have just
been attacked, and the fighting is said
to be going on in the suburbs.

The Mexicans signing the telegram re-
side mostly in San Marcos and vicinity.
''In the event Mexicans start any
trouble we will protect our citizens and
not wait for Washington to aet,R de-
clared Gov. 0. b. Colquitt late yesterday
after a conference with Adjutant Cen

the Texas National Guard is in readi-
ness to answer quickly any call that

The conference was the outcome of a
threat by Mexicans yesterday to make

Governor Colquitt did not appraise
Washington of yesterdays events. He
said that during a recent outbreak along

pected Home Attended.

West Warwick, r. J., Nov lS.-Be-
cause girl whose home was under diph-
liberia quarantine attended the School
street grammar school in Natick yester-
day, so pupils in the upper classes went

NO COMMENT TO MAKE.
Prin. Hollister Declined to Discuss Mont
peIier Highs Vote to Sever Relations.


When asked to-day if he had anything
to say about the Montpelier high school
students action in seyering athletic
relations with Goddard seminary, Prin-
cipal Hollister replied in the negative.
He stated that he hadn't heard of the
action of the Montpelier students, but
probably wouldn't have anything to say
about it anyway.
The vote by Montpelier to cut off all
athletic relations with Goddard was TAX
EN- by the athletic. association of the
high school yesterday afternoon, the as
sociation membership constituting prac-
tically the whole school attendance.
Prior to the meeting, the boys of the
two upper classes and the members OF
the football eleven held meeting to
decide whether the act should be taken
b. the faculty, by the football eleven
or by the athletic association. 1t finally
was decided that the association should
take the step, which report was present
ed to the association and was followed
by the action as above stated.
1t is asserted that the reason why
Montpelier high school took this action
was because of popular sentiment "for
reasons well known to all those who
have followed the contests between the
two schools and particularly the last
football game" as the Montpelier Jour
nal expressed it this morning.

TILL THURSDAY TO SURRENDER.
Town of Tuxpam Given Ultimatum by
Rebel Troops.

Vera Cruz, Nov. lS.--Rear Admiral
Boush on board the U. S. battleship
Louisiana, reports that the Constitution
alist General Aguilar has given the town
of Tuxpam until next Thursday to sur
render. Capt. Spencer s. Wood, in com
mand of the battleship Nebraska, reports
that Aguilar controls all the country
south of the Ponupo river. Aguilar,
Captain Wood says, processes to desire
to protect American property, but is
hostile to the English.
The constitutionalist leader at Tan
guijo says that in compliance with or
ders from General Carranza he intends to
control all the oil fields and collect the
revenues that are now paid to the fed
eral government and prevent the sup
plying of oil to the railroads. He has
notified the Eagle Oil company that it
must pay 100000 down and $24 200
monthly. The insurgents number sew
eral thousands and have garrisons on all
the oil properties.

Through Strike of East In
dian Workmen in Natal,
South Africa
COMPLETE TIE-UP
is NOW FEARED
Strike Started When a Coal
Miner Was Flogged
to Death

Durham, South Africa, Nov. ls-The
strike of the East Indians spread to-day
to the south coast and practically every
East Indian workman in Natal laid down
his tools this morning. The authorities
are prepared for disorders which it is
feared may break out at any moment
One East Indian died in the coal
mining town of Dundee, it is alleged, as
the result of flogging, and this, with the
arrest of about two thousand for def.
ance of the federal law prohibiting emf
grafton to the Asiatics from one state
to another of the union of South Africa
greatly excited the East Indians, of
whom there are many thousands in
Natal and the other colonies OF South
Africa
As the East Indians do practically all
the labor, including that on farms, rail
roads, sugar, tea and waffle plantations,
in the mines and in domestic and me-
chanical pursuits, general strike of the
men of this race throughout South
Africa would tie up all the industries.

MORE CEMETERY VANDALISM.
Two Tombstones Dislodged and One Had
Corner Broken.

The city cemetery commission, its SUI
perintendent and the police department
were mystified again to-day, when it
was learned that vandals had made their
second raid on Elmwood cemetery within
five days. This morning Superintendent
Alexander Hanton discovered two mon
uments that had been despoiled some time
during the night. Both were granite
slabs mounted on double bases. In one
instance the slab was pushed to the
ground. Evidently it struck another
stone, for one corner was found broken.
For memorial purposes, the stone is
probably ruined. The other stone was
only dislodged from its base and tipped
to the ground.
Feeling over the depredations OF last
Thursday night had not subsided, and
the stones upset by the marauders had
hardly been replaced when the discovery
was made that the miscreants had made
q second visit TO the burial ground. So
far as can be surmised, the same persons
are guilty Of both oifenses In each in
stance, footprints were discovered about
the e~eemetery on the morning following.
Clues to-day were quite as meagre as
before.
An officer from the police station
looked the situation over during the aft
ernoon. The matter will come before
the cemetery commission tonight and it
is probable that drastic measures will be
taken to prevent repetition of the out
RACES. 1t has been proposed to station
a special patrol on the grounds, with
orders to aecost everyone who is seen to
enter the cemetery after dark. The off
cials are ready to go the limit in sppre-
hending the culprits.
