WILSON Is PLAYING
A WAITING GAME
Confident That the Huerta Regime Is
About to Crumble, He Will Take
No Action.

Washington, D. c. Nov. .2l.-The CON
vening of the Mexican Congress and
Huerta's message were regarded by Off
cials merely as carrying the situation a
step further and not as events which
forecast immediate action by the United
adds to what the administration officials
regard as a steady and gradual disinte-
grafton of the Huerta regime.
The official view is that, should the
new Congress act on the English oil CON
cessions, such acts being regarded as
invalid by Great Britain as well as by
the United States, inasmuch as foreign
governments generally have signified
their assent to the American policy, it
would be taken for granted that the
Mexican Congress may legislate as it
will, but its acts will not have inter-
national sanction. Such favorable atti-
tude by the other nations strengthens
confidence of the Washington govern
ment that the power of tie Huerta
regime is crumblfng.

NOT SIGHTING VERMONT.
New England Co. Giving Good Telephone
Service, Auditor Longley Said.

| The hearing before the Vermont public
service commission over proposed re-
duction of rates took recess at Mont
pelier o-day until after Thanksgiving.
A lively discussion was started before
the commission yesterday afternoon
when Attorney Graham, representing the
state, asked General Auditor Longley
Of the New England Tel & Tel. CO. to-
make a fair separation Of the assets and
liabilities Of the New England company
on the theory that the New England.
company in Vermont was separate
company. Mr.. Longley declined as he
thought that he would not be able to
give a reasonable answer
The New England company has about
SAB 100000 worth Of stock paying seven
per cent, and about Sl2000,000 worth of
bonds carrying five per cent. interest
Considering the New England plant in
Vermont as a separate institution, en-
tirely disassoeiated from the New Eng
land plant in Vermont as separate in
lstitution. entirely disassociated from the
New England company, and earning two
per cent. or less ON its Investment, he
thought it would be impossible for such
4 company to secure the capital to build
a plant. Nor would such a company be
able to float a bond issue at a five per
cent interest rate because investors
would not accept such bonds.
Mr. Deavitt wanted to know why $50
of the total liabilities would not rep
resent fair proportion for Vermont,
this percentage representing the proper
tion the plant in Vermont bears to the
entire plant of the New England Tele-
phone and Telegraph company, Mr..
Longley contended that this was a
wholly impracticable computation be-
cause although as 3.39 of the total
plant value of the company, it contrib
utes only 2.39 of the company's reve
nue. He said it would be incorrect to
assume that such company as was
being theoretically considered, one who'll
ly separated from the New England Tel
ephone and Telegraph company and con-
fined entirely to Vermont, could get
money for the same rate that was paid
by the New England company. 1t was
brought ont incidentally that out of A.,
$50 stockholders in the New England
company, only n of them were from
Vermont
Mr.. Graham suggested that no one had
seen any Vermont territory that has
not paid seven per cent. if it had a fair
chance, to which Mr. Longley replied
that he thought that all Vermont had
been given more than a fair show, and
that money had been poured in here by
the New Eengland company in a way
that no local company would expend it,
The New England company was at
to give just as good service in
Vermont as in any other part of its ter
-itory.
Mr. Graham remarked that no one had
seen any indication of eompany's in
-ention to withdraw from Vermont.
why should We" asked Mr. Long
ey, "the New England company is "a
init as a whole, it is important that our
people in Massachusetts, should be able
o telephone up here to your prosperous
titles and towns, and that your people
,hould be able to telephone to ours, but
he assumption that this territory of
tself can make money isn't true?"

The Man Who Came Back.

HA owned a good farm in the corn belt. no matter where, but he read the literature of the west until he yearned to go the limit in search of better things, so he sold the farm and they went.
 They located out there. no mat ter where. and they found that all that had been told them was true at times; not steadily and regularly true, of course, but one would hard ly expect that. The fact is though, that they missed the bluegrass, the corn, the familiar home environ ment. Finally he sent an emissary and to his delight learned that he could buy back again his old farm at an advance of only $25 an acre The deal was promptly made, the the family returned. What joy it was! To rediscover the old place was like little journey into the promised land Then they could see now so much more in it than they could when they left it; the opportunities were so much greater than they had dreamed.
 So they settled down again with infinite delight and content on the farm they had left. The tour and experience had cost fairly dear true, but it was we'll worth it fol the content iI brought. with the new visions and ambitions.

A Card From Judge Hays.

To the Editor of the News:
 am sorry to learn that through some source, possibly unfriendly to me, the wrong impression has been circulated with reference to the manner in which my successor wi be selected if l succeed in my race for Governor.
 wish to assure the people of my ditrict that have absolutly no intention of lending any personal influence that l may have towards any candidate who may aspire to succeed me. appreciate any in terest that any man may show in my candidacy. but certainly have no understanding with anyone to, in return, favor them in any am- bition they may have to be circuit judge.
 My greatest desire in this matter is to have the people themselves choose the man they wish to serve them during the unexpired term that would follow my election to the Governor office. There are no people on earth to whom l owe greater appreciation than the peo- pie of the 18th Judicial Circuit. and hope to prove this to them by my conduct in all matters that effect their welfare and happiness. 1 ask my friends to listen to no designing rumors against me but to lend me their unceasing friendship and help in my present race.
 1 want to assure my friends, from the best information obtainable. and that. too. coming from every section of the state, we have this race won. Most every one admits that with a good majority from South Arkansas will be elected. It can be seen, therefore. that it is up to the peo- pie of the 18th Judicial Circuit to come to the polls as one man and cast their ballot for their home candidate. If none of my people shrink this obligation. and feel sure that they will not South Ark ansas will have the next Governor.

Filth and the fiy.=

The New York state board of health has issued an earnest appeal to all good citizens to swat the fly" and thus help to kill off what is not only a pest, but an actual menace to life.
 After pointing outhow flies trans init disease of deadly nature the health authorities urge the need of preventing their breeding by pre- venting accumulation of rubbish and dirt and specially by keeping all garbage in carefully covered re- ceptacles.
 The board of health publishes also several trite aphorisms, culled from various sources, among which are these:
 Flies follow filth.
 Fever follows flies.
 SWdttlng saves sickness.
 It is better to screen the cradle and wear a smile than scoff at the precaution and wear mourning.
 Fles in the dining room usually precede nurses in the sick room.
 Screens in the window prevents crape on the door.
 Flies as we'll bad water spread typhoid.
 A fly in the milk may mean a member of the family in the grave.
 A fly has natural enemies: the most persistent and effective should be man
 It costs less to buy screen door than to get sick and lay off for a month.
 It's a short haul from the garbage can to the dining table via the fly route.
