FORGOT DESIRE TO QUESTION
Chairman's Reception OF Wouid-Be
interrogator Somehow Discovered
SOS the Rest of Them.

AT a political meeting in a certain
New South Wales gold-mining dis
trict the chair was taken by an ath-
letic miner. The candidate during
his speech was much interrupted by
hootings and rough chafr, and his
chairman was soon in a State Of boil
ing indignation. Smothering his
wrath, however, he pacified the
boys" by assuring them that at the
end of the candidates speech they
should be at liberty to put any ques.
tlon they chose. Accordingly. at the
end OF the harangue he arose and in.
quired in stentorian tones and in a
rich Irish brogue: His inny gintle-
man a question to airsk?" A stout
little Welsh miner, who had been
conspicuous disturber OF the peace
of the evening, shuffled slowly up the
steps OF the platform. But at the
top he was met by the chairman,
who. without the slightest warning,
delivered a terrific left-and-righter,
and sent the Welshman sprawling on
his. back Now" roared the chair
man, has inny other gintleman
question to airsk?"-and there was
no response.

HISTORIC OLD Town
AIkmaar, Holland, Mas Many In
teresting Features.
Quaint Dutch City Of 10000 Is Typical
Of the country-scene Of Resist
ance to Spanish Siege
OF 1873.

Alkmaar, Holland.-rThe town itself
is one that must abide In the memory
of everyone who sees 1t for the first
time. Its most important church Is
the Groote Kerk of st. Lawrence.
which contains among other things
the ancient tomb Of Floris w., Count
of Holland, who died in 1895. The tow
er of the Stadhuis dates from 1907.
1t contains library and municipal
museum, furnished with several not
able pictures. But the old Weigh
house, after all. remains to us the
most interesting of the buildings In
the town. Not least of its charms is
the prospect from the top. From 1t
our artist was able to secure a very
striking picture of the view as seen
from that eminent position. There
could not be anything more typical OF
Holland. First OF all there 10 the
canal. the national waterway. winding
sluggishly through the town and divid-
ing 1t in two. There are the canal
boats, the wagons of this aqueous
highway. placidly pursuing their jour
ney or waiting by the wharves to be
laden or unladen. Most of all there
are the Dutch houses. or rather the
characteristic roofs Of them-the view
that they would present to the stars.
The town Is just Of the right size to
be brought within this focus. 1t num-
bers about 10000 inhabitants, the ma
jority Of whom are connected directly
OF indirectly with agriculture. But the
place has its historical records also.
1t appeals to the historian as the
scene of a splendid resistance to the
Spanish siege In 1573--the period OF
the Dutch struggle for independence.
The buildings. to which We have al
ready made alluslon, carry us back to
that sixteenth century. which was IA
nous there as I'm England for the
artistic beauty and sense Of proper
ton brought to bear upon the work Of
building. Houses Of this period are
fine all the world over, and not least
in Holland.
The Dutch cheese trade Is an old in
dustry in one way, but its great de-
velopment Is modern in character Tin
only comparatively recent period the
dairy herds in this country were neg
iected. The only requirement APP
piled to the COW was that she should
give very large quantity Of milk. 1t
was of such inferior character as to
become almost proverbial express
sion for thinness But recent minis
ters of agriculture have changed all
that. They have brought science to
bear on the industry with ever.increas-

Basket Shower.

Did you ever happen to think how
many varieties of baskets there are?
never did until my attention was
called to the fact by novel basket
shower given for a bride-tobe.
The hostess asked each guest to
bring n basket of some description.
AS the "a guests were all intimate
friends they consulted among them
selves. so the selections made did not
include duplicates. There was stun
ming brown wistaria waste basket;
one OF the same weave to hold fruit;
market, basket made by Dutch
peasant; a clothes basket; tiny COW
cred basket to hold thimble. This
was in a round work basket, that also
had scissors shield woven to match.
There was n clothes hamper. and a
cunning covered basket with handle.
just large enough to hold lunch for
two.
To go with these baskets there waa
tea or coffee rest, woven of sweet
grass, to use when serving on the
porch. and quaint wall holders in
which tumbler could be inserted to
hold wild flowers. The honored guest
was perfectly delighted with this
shower, for it turned out that baskets
was one of her hobbies.

Sure of Elimination,

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Notwith- standing intimations that Provisional President Huerta would refuse to re- sign, administration officials said to- night that his elimination would be ac- complished in one way or another" They asserted that every opportunity would be given him to retire peacefully and that drastic steps would be avoid ed if possible.
 The development of the day was the call sent by President Wilson for mem bers of the senate foreign relations committee, republicans, as well as dem ocrats He had Senators Stone and Swanson, with him for an hour and expects to discuss the matter indi- vidually with the other members. He is in constant communication with Senator Bacon, chairman of the com mittee who had a long conference to- day with Secretary Bryan.
 Senator Bacon said tonight that while he is not at liberty to discuss his talk with Bryan in detail, he would state there had been no change in the fixed purpose of the United States to have Huerta eliminated from the sltu- ation. In the view of many officials, who anticipated the rejection by Huer- ta of the American demands, only two courses are open to the United States either to compose the situation di- rectly or throw it's moral support with the constitutionalists in their fight to obtain possession of the government at Mexico City. There is a strong dlspo- sition to recognize the constitutional- ists, is the report. Officials in the con- fidence of President Wilson said that while there was no alliance between the Washington government and the constitutionalists, the sympathies of this government would incline toward the constitutionalists movement.
 The discussion, they said. had not progressed to a point where the recog- milton of the belligerency of the consu- tutionalists is being considered The lifting of the embargo on arms, how ever. is the method by which many senators believe the situation can best be met It is believed that before the Washington government takes steps, an understanding through informal and unofficial channels may be reached as to the exact purposes of the constltu- tionalists. so that any act of sympathy toward their cause might be predicted on assurances of a definite character. It was admitted tonight by the state department officials that no final word had come from Huerta as to the Ameri- can demands presented by Charge O'Shaughnessy.
 No official comment was forthcoming tonight on the dispatches from Mexico City announcing that Huerta would be ! aided by English financial interests in meeting the governments immediate expenses Prominent senators said however. the government could not be sustained long by private interests.

 CHICAGO, Nov. S.-A misunder- standing threatened to develop today between James Hamilton Lewis, senior senator from Illinois and Henry NJ. PendeI of Peoria, in connection with the publication of a letter, said to have been written by Lewis, offering Pendell the post of ambassador to Russia with the provision that he hold the portfolio only one year
 PendeIl declares the letter was never received by him. Lewis, while not de- nying he wrote it, said:
 "If MT. Pendeu says he never re- ceived the letter. he must be right. I have no copy of my correspondence to him.
 According to a published letter, Lewis offered PendeIl the post with the provision that he resign on October 1, 1914 Lewis explains that when he made this suggestion, it was because Pendell would fill the uneXpired term of Curtis Gould, resigned. and that after the term expired PendelFs reten- tion of the post would depend on the president.
 The only understanding I had re- garding the post with the president said Pendell. was that I might resign at the end of a year if I wished"

End of Career of Mexico's Provisional President is Freely Predicted at His National Capital and the Date Announced
CONVEYING OF
 CONGRESS IS CRUX
On the Other Hand Those in His Confidence Profess His Program Includes Occupancy of Presidency for Another Year
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHI


 MEXICO CITY, Nov. S.-General Huerta has shown no indication that he will comply with the American de- mands for his resignation. On the con- trdry, those who profess to have his confidence say his program includes the occupancy of the presidency until some time late in the year 1914, that ne intends to carry out hIs plan of re- organizing congress and defying Wash- ington to the point of war.
 There is some basis for believing that the United States has served on Huer- to supplementary notice that his offi- ciaI career will be brought to an end on Monday night. It was reported to- day that John Lind, the presidents representative was the medium em- ployed by Washington. Lind and Mex ican officials deny this, but the rumor originated at the National Palace, that it would be insisted by the United States that the new Mexican congress must not meet, since it believed that one of the first acts of that body would be to Iegalize certain concessions that are not considered desirable.
 The British minister, Sir Lionel Gar den, conferred again today with Lind. It was learned that their ideas regard ing the solution of the situation are still far apart.

READY FOR THE
 SPENCER TRIAL
Alleged Murderer of Mrs. Mildred A. Rexroat, Chi cagO Tango Teacher, to Begin Fight for His Life
 on Monday at Wheaton
Especial to The Republican, )

ii.J
 WHEATON. H., Nov S.-All pre- liminary arrangements have been completed for the opening. next Monday, before Judge Mazzini Sluzzer of the Du Page county court. of the trial of Henry Spencer, charg- ed with the murder of Mrs. Mildred Allison Rexroat. a tango teacher Owing to the atrocity of the crime and the sensational history of the prisoner. who has confessed not only the murder of Mrs. Rexroat but several other murders committed in various parts of this state during the past year or more. is attracting country wide attention and promises to be extremely sensational.
 The murder for which Spencer is to be tried, was committed on the evening of Friday. September 26 of this year Mrs. Mildred Allison Rex roat of Chicago, teacher of tango dancing, was lured to a dark spot near Wayne, Ill, murdered by being choked and shot through the head and then placed on the tracks of the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern railroad, where a train mangled her body. The crime was discovered by the engineer of the train which ran over the body of the woman and he promptly notified the authorities. The sheriff of Du Page county swore in hundred deputy sheriffs who searched the whole country for the murderer.
 The body of the victim was crushed beyond recognition, but by means of a bracelet and her bag. containing her card and some papers, the victim was identified as Mrs. Rexroat It was also ascertained that the woman had been robbed of her money and of the valuable jewelry she wore It was learned that the victim was known as Mrs Allison. but that she had been divorced from Allison. her first husband, and had recently married E. A. Rexroat, farmer near Macomb, III. She was supposed to make her living as dancing teacher.
 The police followed several cIeWs and made several arrests, but the arrested persons were able to prove alibis and not until some time dur ing the first week of october did the Chicago police succeed in ar resting Henry Spencer, who is said to be a Bohemian named Shortpa following a cleW furnished by some friends of the murdered woman. It appeared that Mrs. ReXroat had an appointment with a man named Spencer for the evening of Septem- Der 26 She was to accompany him to Wayne to teach tango class which he said he had formed there The woman and Spencer were seer by several persons near Wayne who furnished a good description of the i man.
 After his arrest Spencer was taker to the. Cook county jail and there 1 he later made a full confession o (Continued on Page Five.)
