WHITE HOUSE AWAITS NEWS.
Denies Rumor Of O'Shaughnessy's
Recall Home.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Secre-
tary Bryan indicated clearly today
that the United States is awaiting de-
velopments in the Mexican congress
before taking any further steps. He
said that no instructions naming a
certain date had been sent to Charge
O'Shaughnessy concerning the clos
ing of the American embassy.
Il CAM OF discuss the nature of the
messages sent to Mr.. O'Shaughnessy,
said Mr.. Bryan.
William Bayard Hale will return to
Washington in a few days
The denial of the O'Shaughnessy$ $e-
port was the only word vouchsafed on
the situation by White House Off
cials. Instructions sent to O'Shaugh-
messy to remain at his post are indica-
tive that the administration has not
given up hopes of accomplishing it's
ends through diplomacy.

ATTORNEYS IN RAGE
7. J. Study and Ray Shiveley
Have Word Battle.

Choice words and phrases literally
flew in the circuit court room today
when Thomas ]. Study and Ray Shive-
ley. attorneys, became "peeved" at
each other. In plain terms each ex-
pressed his opinion of the other. A.
tachs upon the character Of each was
also made.
The argument started over some
trivial difference between the two
regarding a number of cases whieh
are at issue in circuit court
With some difficulty Judge Fox
stopped the slander of the two law
yers. When asked as to the cause of
the argument, one of the attorn eys
said he did not know.

GAME BAG CONTAINS
A TH|RTY-POUND PIG
Nimrod Flees Leaving Equip
ment, AS Warden At BOs-
ton Approaches.
GAME is PLENTIFUL
Hunters Say 1t Is Better
Protected Each Year, Due
to New Laws.
GAME is PLENTIFUL

One of the most amusing stories Of
the hunting season was brought to the
city today from Boston, Indiana, by
a local sportsman. He told of hunt
er who had invaded the fields of I'm
ion county to the indignation of sew
eral local landowners When he
boarded a train for Richmond, a game
warden at Boston was notified to ar
rest him.
When this nimrod saw the officer of
the law approaching him with a war
rant he rushed to the nearest plat
form, leaped off and disappeared, leav-
ing his very large game bag. his dog
and his gun aboard the train. When
it was opened it was found to con-
tain several rabbits, two pheasants
and thirty pound pig
Reports from Hagerstown yesterday
told OF the massacre of a very val
liable Jersey COW by unknown hunt
ers. but so far as known this is the
only domestic animal which has been
used as target by any follower of
the game trails.
Game has been plentiful this year
despite reports to the contrary" said
one of the best informed local sports
men today. Quail and pheasants are
not numerous but there are more than
last year. Game is being better pro-
tected each year and l expect there
will be good hunting in this part OF
the country for number OF years.
To hear some hunters boast of their
prowess one would imagine that all
the rabbits, squirrels and game birds
would be exterminated before the
close TO the present season, but the
big majority of these tales are pure,
unadulterated fabrications."

Huerta's Message Defends
Dissolution of Congress
Controlled by Maderists.
DENOUNCES REBELS
White House Denies That
O'Shaughnessy Has Been
Recalled From Post.

MEXICO CITY Nov 20.-The Mexi-
can congress will meet this afternoon
in direct defiance of the demands of
the United States. Gen. Huerta will
transmit a message TO the senate and
chamber of deputies. In this he will
defend his whole course in dealing
with the recent congress, which was
controlled by followers of Francisco
l. Madero and will declare that his
course has not interrupted the regime
of constitutional government There
is no doubt that both the senate and
chamber of deputies will indorse the
dictators actions. Today's events
are fraught with momentous ques-
tions as concerns the relations be-
tween the United States and Mexico.
The utmost tension prevails among
officials Of the Mexican government.
They do not know what the day will
bring forth. Fear prevails among all
the foreign residents of the Mexican
capital. Members of the diplomatic
corps refused to discuss the situation
saying, I'VE will await events"
Huerta Defends Step.
In his message Huerta will defend
his arrest of members of the last
Chamber of Deputies saying: Con
gress had become, by the enliSting of
certain elements, center of revolu-
tionary activity, sort Of open agency
of the Northern rebels, who with arms
in hands, engaged in murder and pill
lage. What is still worse, it went to
the task of bleeding the fatherland
with the effect of exposing its weak
ness and poverty to danger and abroad
and took the attitude of firmly pre-
venting action by the government, in
vading aggressively not only the pro-
vince of the judicial power, but also
that of executive. This it did in ord
er to second in the manner described
the nefarious activity of the above
mentioned rebels
Points to Dilemma.
Having arrived at this critical
juncture, Huerta will continue:
"The government under my charge
was placed in dilemma-either to
permit the Chamber of Deputies to
be converted into a demagogical con-
vention by strangling the other two
powers of government namely, the
executive and judicial-and to drag
the country into an abyss of blood
thirsty anarchy, thus causing the in
evitable loss of our nationality or as
legitimate, defensive act in behalf
of the public welfare, to set aside for
a short time the so-called National
assembly and call the people to the
polls in order that they as sovsr-
eign faction, might say the last word, y
The message will admit the extrem-
ity of the measure in dissolving con-
gress at the same time pleading that
all acts were of a constitutional ma
ture.
Even the rigidity of the measures
employed is apparently considered by
Huerta as being temperate under the
circumstances.

ut Sounds Mighty Good,
Don't IT." Comments
Chairman Tiff.
OLD PARTY HOPEFUL
Meets At Indianapolis to Cor
rect Evils That Brought
Dissolution.

In the proposed Republican conven-
tion to be held next year in Indiana
polls, Richmond standpatters see a
way out of the woods for the Republi-
can party and a return to it's former
position in national and local affairs.
The primary purpose of the conven-
ton, on the surface, seems to be to
cut down the appointment of south
ern delegates which has been so much
out of proportion as to arouse caustic
comment in the past and which was
largely responsible for the split at
the Chicago convention.
With the party house-cleaning, by
doing away with domination by south
ern federal office holders, the G. O..
p. will have in a measure placed it.
self right before the American voter,
local Republicans commented today.
Another important matter for the
consideration Of the special conven-
tion will be an adjustment regarding
the seating of delegates.
Contested Seat" Problem.
Under the method followed since
the organization of the party, the nat
ional committee, chosen four years
prior to a national convention, passes
upon contested seats. This means
that the faction which controlled the
national convention four years before
has the important duty of settling all
disputed questions before the next
convention.
This power is sufficient sometimes
to thWart the will of the majority of
the delegates.
These things are important, from a
standpoint of house cleaning, but
they sink into insignificance beside
the question always paramount when
two or more Republicans get togeth-
er, "How is the party to be re-
united?"
Teddy for Candidate.
There is feeling among some local
Republicans that the indianapolis
harmony meeting" representing Re-
publican sentiment of the entire ma
tion, will clean house with wild hur-
rah and then give an enthusiastic and
unqualified endorsement to Theodore
Roosevelt for 1916.
Local Republican leaders say this
would give the Progressives a whole
year to think over the fact that they
would have the opportunity to follow
their own standard bearer back into
the party they divorced last year
"It sounds mighty good. don't it?''
said Republican City Chairman Tiff
today.
Progressive leaders say they are
we'll satisfied with their party and it
is a matter of Indifference to them
whether the Republicans do or do not
clean house.

HALE's MISSION FUTILE.
Carranza Refuses To Decline Presi-

DOUGLAS, Ariz. Nov. 20.-Nego-
tiations between Gen. Carranza and
William Bayard Hale were broken off
because the United States demanded
a pledge that the Constitutionalists
would hold an election if General
Huerta was driven from office, ac-
cording to officials of the rebel junta
which returned here today from
Nogales. They declared negotiations
could not be resumed on those terms
This means that If Carranza Gusts
Huerta he will himself claim the

pates no difficulty in securing this
number of signers. After the COM

to receive attention first. 1t is prob
able that they would be ready to re-

You Can Have a Wealth
of Beautiful Hair

Nothing equals an aureole of beauti-
full hair as a frame for pretty face.
Without a background of nice hair a
really pretty face frequently becomes
plain and, with it, unattractive features
assume life and beauty.
Every woman can increase her natur-
al charm by using NewbrO's Herpicide.
Herpicide makes hair beautiful. The
dandruff germ saps the vitality Of the
hair. Herpicide applied inteligently
and regularly checks this destruction Of
hair life and prevents the hair from
falling out, giving it snap and luster,
a soft, silky flufliness which can be ac-
quired in no other way.
Newbro's Herpicide in soc and Sl.00
sizes is guaranteed to do all that is
claimed. If you are not satisfied your
money will be returned.
Applications may be obtained at the

Cement Walk to Cemetery.

Wouldn't a cement walk TO Elm
wood cemetery be appreciated? SO
many people, ladies especially, like
to visit this "city of the dead" but
the three-quarters of a mile there and
back, through sand and hardly rec
ognized foot path, deters them often,
and when they have walked the dis
lance, the Encouraging view of the
unlovely kept cemetery, is enough to
bring tears TO ones eyes. Each year
when so many go out to clean up and
decorate their lots where loved ones
lie, there is talk of hiring a man to
take charge of the cemetery and
keep everything clean and in order.
The pulling of weeds, cutting grass
and disposing of the piles of truck
which encumbers the ground would
add so greatly to the appearance of
the place that the majority of those
who own lots would gladly and will
ingly pay a trifle each to some man
who would do this, but no one seems
to go ahead with the scheme and the
same conditions go on each year. We
have a nicely and prettily located
cemetery, but allowed to run to
weeds and filth year after year, 1t
soon loses its beauty. Some of the
lots are beautifully kept but the ma
jority are neglected.

Holding that the $4,000 in stocks,

Michigan Farmers Mutual Fire In
surance Co., of IT. Clair and Sanilac
counties, is assessed is not reserve
fund, Judge Law has decided the case
of the city of Yale against that COM
pany in favor of the plaintiff.
The reports submitted show the com
pany in possession of about $4,000 in
bonds and mortgages. In 1912 these
were assessed at $4,000 and city tax
of 1910 was levied. The insurance
company refused to pay the amount,
cOntending that it was mutual in
surance company and not assessable
and that the $4,000 constituted y re-
serve fund The city made several de.
mands for the money but it is claimed
was turned down on each occasion
In the decision OF Judge Law, he
finds that the company is assessable
