to canvass the result. This time limit
will expire u week from tomorrow SO
that il is believed that by the end of
the week President Huerta will be found
declaring himself as to HIS program.
That the election OF Banquet will be
declared to be the result OF last Sum
days voting is the conviction here.
How confidently European governments
are expecting forcible intervention by
the United States was plainly indicated
yesterday by one in position to speak
with authority. The only question in
doubt in Europe, according to this au-
thority, who has recently arrived in
the United States, is as 10 when Presi-
dent Wilson will take the necessary
steps.
The foreign governments consider that
ever since last summer President Will
son has been intervening in Mexico,
though without the use of force. His
fiat that Huerta must so, and his re-
pudiation OF the results of the recent
elections. in advance OF the day they
were held, are regarded as nothing less
than acts of Intervention. Intervention
by diplomatic methods having failed.
European governments consider
that there is nothing left for Mr.. VIII
son to do but resort 10 forcible inter-
vention IN order to impose his will upon
Mexico. The Presidents promised an
of policy is awaited with
the greatest interest by members OF
the diplomatic circle here.
1t was reported yesterday that the |
of the ConstitutionaIists |
will soon seek recognition at the hands |
Df the United States. No indication has |
yet been given that the administration |
has even contemplated such a course, |
though it has often been urged upon the |
President.

Special Cable to The Washington Herald.
St Petersburg. Nov. 1.-Baron Nicolay

for establishing among the Russian stu

American Christian Endeavor Society.
He has now at his residence. In Fin

same department bias just refused per-
mission to the Baptists to hold meetings
in the House Of the Evangelium which
they have built here.
The reason given is that the building
is not structural.y secure, although II
was built under and passed by the gov

now the police have forbidden the Bap-
lists to accompany their religious singing
with musical instruments, because to do so
constitutes the giving Of concert, which
is not permitted without a rehearsal be-

MANN WOULD PERMIT
FREE-F0R-ALL DEBATE

As the result OF an effort of Repre-
sentative Slayden OF Texas to have print
ed in the Record a statement about the
Mexican situation In reply to former Am
bassador Henry L. Wilson, Representa-
tive Mann Of Illinois, Republican leader
yesterday challenged the Democratic
members of the House to open up gen.
eral discussion os Mexico
Mr.. Mann declared he was not willing
TO have one side-the administration side
discussed in the House without having
the other side also discussed.
IF We are to hear the statements made
in behalf OF the administration and Its
policy. or lack of a policy, we ought to
hear all the facts" said Mr.. Mann.
Mann's challenge was not taken up by
any OF the Democrats, and the discus

Democratic Candidate Almost
Sure to Win Despite Anti
Saloon Opposition.
G. O. P. FIGHTS In DITCH
Remarkable Appeal to Prosressivss BY
Their Own Leaders to Vote Re-
publican Ticket Is Made.

Baltimore. Nd, Nov. 1.-The principal
Issue In the campaign IN this State. to
be decided at the polls next Tuesday, Is
the election of a United States Senator
by popular vote. The fight hinges al
most entirely upon the temperance
question, Blair Lee. the Democratic as
plrant. being charged with the defeat
of the local option law. and his Repub-
lican opponent. Thomas Parran. former
Representative. being allied with the
anti-saloon forces.
Maryland. normally. on local issues. at
least, is a Democratic State. At all
times the margin between the parties is
so close that with the Republican d.
vided the Democrats ought 70 win with
out trouble. The Progressives have a
candidate in the person. Of former Sena-
tor Wellington. OF Cumberland. and the
result depends largely upon the number
of votes which wfll be given HIM This
fact gives peculiar significance TO a bull
letin which made its appearance here
today addressed to Progressive voters
Appeal to Progressives.
An appeal is made to Progressives not
to throw their votes away on a third
party candidate but to make them count
In the e1ort Ito prevent Maryland from
becoming a one-party. ring-ruled State"
Progressives are told that supporting the
Republican ticket at this time, will not
preclude them from supporting Roose
welt as nominee and candidate in. 1916.
The statement bears fifte-n signatures.
ali Of men who either were delegates to-
the Progressive national convention or
are holding prominent positions in the
Progressive organization of the State.
There is division in both the Demo-.
cratic and Republican parties- Blair Lee
has a good organization. is wealthy and
ambitious. and Is supported by the Will
son administration, which has recognized
him in patronage matters. His election.
however. would be death blow to the
old Communication machine, and prac-
tically the only hope of Republican sue
cess lies In the possibility that he viii
not be universally supported by his
party.
Parran Is popular, and demonstrated
his ability as a vote getter when he car
rted Maryland for a minor State office,
the Democrats elected the en-
tire balance Of the ticket.
Democrat u Favored.
In the Third Congressional district,
wholly within this city. where a vacancy
exists, B. +. Woelper, jr., business
man, Is the Republican nominee. Op-
posed to him are Charles p. Coady,
Democrat, a former State Senator, and
Ferguson, Progressive. This Is a manu- |
featuring district with a large foreign
vote. Konig, Democrat, carried the dis |
triet last year by a big majority. On |
II Is overwhelmingly Demo- /
cratic, but there Is a large unafiliated |
vote and other uncertainties upon which |
the Republicans base a meagre hope OF |
victory.

IN TRUSTS GRIP,
SAYS Mr.. NEALE
Declares Old Law Forces the
District to Use Monop-
oIy's Asphalt.
REPEAL IS DEMANDED
Federation of Citizens Associations
Passes Observation-Disclosures
Training System Urged.

Attacking the act of Congress which.
he declared. prevents the District from
paving its streets with other than as
phalt produced by the asphalt trust, "
w. J.. Neale, delegate 70 the Federation
of Citizens Associations from the Gen.
tral Citizens Association, at meeting of
the Federation in the rooms OF ths
Chamber Of Commerce last night, sue-
ceeded in convincing his hearers that
they should go on record for the repeal
of the law governing the matter.
Since as far back as 1885, or probably
longer, the District Commissioners hands
have been tied regarding the use of
any other kind of asphalt for the city's
Streets" declared Delegate Neale. IAN
act Of Congress passed about that time
has precluded the use every since of the
product Of independent companies which
possibly produce Il better grade of the
material. The trust has made millions
through the passage of that act, which
specifies minutely the grade Of the ma
terial which shall be used in all local
public paving" 49,.
Resolution Is Passed.
Following Mr.. Neale's remarks on the
subject, the association unanimously
passed a resolutions urging that the
Commissioners be allowed TO use their
discretion hereafter as to the grade and
kind of asphalt that shall cover the
city's thoroughfares.
Further development of the system or
vocational training in the public schools
was urged in report submitted by
Snowden Ashford, municipal architect,
and chairman of the committee on edu-
cation of the federation. The report was
adopted. It declares that while the fed
Grafton recognizes the high efficiency Of
tie local manual training schools, the
schools do not appear to afford a full op-
portunity for the development OF skilled
mechanics, equipped. upon graduation, to
secure employment in any special trade.
Holiday for Letter Carriers.
Resolutions also were passed urging
the granting of a holiday to letter car
riers on Thanksgiving Day and request
ing that the Commissioners hereafter
award all public advertising to the low
est responsible bidder.
The question of race segregation in
the District also was given brief con- |
but, on motion, was referred |
to a committee for a report on the |
conditions and laws governing the prob |
lem, to be made at the next meeting Of
the federation.

Booklet Outlines Method
OF MOtet Choral Society
Director Otto T. Simon Gives VIEWS Regarding
Repression n'-Beliepes in Subdued Light
ing Effects at Concerts.

In a recently issued booklet the aims
and the methods Of one of the Capitals
leading musical o. sanizations, the Motet
Choral Society, are outlined by Prof.
Otto T. Simon. A novel departure from
the usual customs On training a large
number of persons in choral work is
shown.
For four years Mr.. Simon has had
charge of the Motet Society. which he
organized, and the advantages of his
methods are best proved by the constant
ly growing success of this organiza ton.
Repression is one of what might be
called Mr. Simon's hobbies and along
this line his society differs broadly from
other choral organizations. As he ex-
presses it, the bombastic style of ora
tory and music formerly was prevalent.
No matter at what cost to the voice and
the composers ideas, choruses were
shouted out, and repression and shad-
ing were subordinated to mere loudness
of tone in the presentation of choral art.
Now that period is changing for a more
artistic manner of expression in choral
singing and also in public speaking, Mr..
Simon believes.
Quality of Repression.
In the booklet this school of repres-
sion is explained Mr. SIMON says
I'm choral singing this quality of re-
pressive tone, through the medium Of
applied technique. has unusual
qualities. The school OF
repressive tone exists In contradistinction
to the broad school of polyphonic art.
BY the former method qualities of domi-
nance and power are subordinated to
the finer and more subtle moods. Such
results, however, are not to be obtained
by the director OF merely exceptional
musical knowledge and gifts, for to these
should be added the necessary skill Of
the master OF singing. In the past. and
even in some instances at the present
Iime. the Importance OF such knoBledge

HOSE TURNED ON SENATORS.
Banking Committee Members Flee
When Stream Bursts in window.

An unexpected panic in the Senate
Banking and Currency Committee was
precipitated yesterday, when hremen,
who were-washing the exterior of the
building with a high-pressure fire hose,
turned the stream against a window,
smashed the pane, and flooded the COM
mittee room.
A chandelier was wrecked and. amid
water and cracking glass, the twelve
members of the committee beat a hasty
retreat for the doors. Senator OGorman,
the only member of the committee who
was wearing a silk hat. stopped his
flight to turn back to get his drenched
tile. The firemen diverted the hose as
soon as they found they had broken the
window.
