and twenty-four were injured as the
result of 100000 fire which began
in the four-story building of the Good

of two blocks. A priest struggled
through the debris and gave the buried
men dissolution
Lieut. Charles Newton of the in

pile of bricks and timber for more
than two hours, but was rescued. 1t
was found he had only suffered minor
injuries, though he was with the men

Franchise League of Indiana, as was
planned by that organize ton. The

In speaking of the canceling of the

said:
When we first made arrangements
for AIrs. Pankhurst to come here il

she afterwards stipulated that she be

DECLARED TO HAVE PROFFERED
AID TO UPHOLD WILSON'S
POLICY IN MEXICO.
DIAZ CUTS HIS LAST TIE
Resigns as Brigadier General of Re-
public's Army and Refuses to Visit
Capital as Guest of Huerta, Who
Remains Dictator.

Washington, Oct. 29-Statements
from the British foreign office Mon
day that Great Britain would do
nothing in the Mexican situation,
now that the election has been held
in the southern republic, without con-
sultation with the United States, and
an appeal from the French minister in
Mexico for American protection for
French citizens there, added strength
to the intimation that the American
government plans a note to the pow
ers which may result in a concerted
policy in the future.
City of Mexico, Oct 28.-The Mexi-
an absolute farce. Hardly any votes
have been cast and in some precincts
there was not single vote cast.
General Huerta will remain in the
presidential chair lad interim"
No official announcement was made,
results in the capital, where it was ex-
pected the vote would be up to the av-
erage, that less than 10000 of the So
600 eligible voters in the republic
went to the polls. 1t would be no sur
prise if congress, the members OF
which also were voted for, declared
the election void when the body is or
ganized and revises the returns.
The leaders of the Catholic party
claimed a long lead, although they
were unable to estimate the number
of votes polled for their candidates,
Federico Gamboa and General Ras-
con. If this claim is correct it is gen.
orally thought that Gen. Felix DiaZ and
Senior Requena ran second. The Lib
eral candidates, Manual Calero and
Flores Magon, had no printed ticket
at the polling places.
President Huerta spent the day at
his Popotla suburban home. A decree
was issued by General Huerta increas-
ing the army from $4,000 men, its al
legged present number to 100000.
General Huerta proposed such an in
crease some time ago, but the con-
gress which he dissolved limited him
to $4,000.
Since the deputies and senators are
not subject to the election provisions
governing the presidential elections,
it is said that the choice for congress
is assured. 1t is assumed, on the
showing so far known, the Catholic
party will secure a majority in both
chamber and senate.
The elections promised by the provi-
sional president, General Huerta were
held without a semblance of disorder
in any quarter of the city. A few
patrols were on the streets. but neither
police nor troops had any but their
usual duties to perform.
Vera Cruz, Oct. 2S,-The last shred
binding Gen. Felix Diax and Gen. Vic
toriano Huerta was severed on Sun
day when General Diaz telegraphed to
the department of war his resignation
as brigadier general of the army.

Mobile, Ala, Oct. 29.-President Will
son in speech here announced to the
world on Monday that the governing
motive of the U. S. in its relationships
with countries of this hemisphere
would be morality, and not expedi-
Rpcy."
Il want to take this occasion to say
that the United States will never again
seek another foot of territory on this
continent by conquest" he declared,
In stirring address on Latin-Ameri-
can relations before the Southern
Commercial congress.
Though Mr.. Wilson did not mention
Mexico as the afflicted country, he de-
voted his entire speech to a descrip-
ton of the degrading influence which
foheign concessionaries had had upon
the internal affairs of some of the
Latin-American countries.
With the Mexican situation upper
most in the presidents mind at this
time. his address was interpreted as
an arraignment of those financial in
huences which it has been charged
have secured in some cases recogni.
fion for the Huerta government.

our present and prospective relations
with our neighbors to the south, the

dent Wilson in opening his address.

main lines viii now be on the main
line.
You hear Of concessions to foreign
capital in Latin-America," continued
the president That concessions are
mot granted in the Uuited States, that
when capital comes it comes invited
but Is not privileged. The Latin
American states have had harder bar
gains driven with them than any other
people il the world"
He said that the United States is
trying to Zeal with them in terms of
equality and honor and that the state
department is now trying to deal with
them in a new spirit. The develop
ment of constitutional liberty in the
world was his dearest aim.
! America is a Synonym for individual
liberty" he declared. DO not think
that the questions of the day are
mere questions of expediency. We will
never condone inequality because it is

LIFE FUND PLAN is BEGUN
Insurance by State of Wisconsin In.
der Statute Enacted in 1911 Be-
comes Established Fact.

Madison.-State life insurance be-
came an accomplished fact in Wis
consin with the issue of the first
policies in the Estate life fund" The
first policy was issued to Charles A.
Ingram of Durand, speaker of the
assembly of 1911, and the second to
l.. l.. Johnson, present member of the
assembly from Door county.
The law making provision for state
life insurance was enacted by the leg
islature of 1911 after the idea had
been worked out by Commissioner of
Insurance Ekern and presented be-
fore legislative committee. A thor
ough study had been made of similar
laws in Germany, Great Britain, It
ally, Belgium, Norway and New Zea-
land.
No policy is issued for larger sum
than $1,000. When the number of
policy holders reaches 1 200 the max
imum policy issued will be for
$4,000, and when the number reach
es 2,000 the maximum policy will be
$4,000, which is the highest amount
authorized.
"The fund offers seven forms of
policies as follows: Ordinary life, 20
payment life, 20 years endowment,
10 year endowment, endowment at
age IS, 10-year term and term to
age 65''
Application for state insurance
may be made to clerks and treasur-
ers in cities, towns and villages,
state factory inspectors and officials
of banks which receive state deposits.
The cost of state insurance will be
low because there will be no commits
sions or paid agents. The insurance
commissioner, secretary of state,
state treasurer and attorney general
are the supervisors of the fund.

Madlson.-Secretary of State John
S. Donald on Monday issued the state
tax levy for the present year. The
amount is $7,655,31S.
This tax consists of:
Indebtedness 157 570
State and free high schls. $4,000
State aid for graded schls. 200. 600
State aid for the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin 1924. 600
State aid for norm. schools 499.637
State aid for com. schools. 1,S9S.731
State aid for highways. :. 1,650,0OO
For new state capitol. -. 100000
For general purposes. -. 100000
This tax is based on valuation
of state property in the state of
$2,998,1S7,705, and the rate on the
dollar of valuation is slightly more
than 212 mills.
"All of the above amounts says
the secretary Of state in a statement
which accompanies the levy, that is
being sent to all county clerks, "are
for education and highways, with the
exception of the new capitol and gem
eral purposes amounts, and are re-
turned to the people either directly
or indirectly with additional moneys
The levy Of $1,500,000 for general
purposes is unusual and it is, there
fore, quite natural that the taxpay-
ers of the state should make spe-
cial inquiry respecting it,
This levy seemed necessary after
careful consideration of detailed
statement of the general fund re-
ceipts and disbursements prepared in
conformity with the statutes, which
showed there would be an estimated
balance on hand in July 1, 1914, of
S710,818, without the levy of a spe-
cial tax. This amount clearly would
be inadequate to meet the demands
on the state treasury prior to a sub
stantial collection of revenues.
cit is estimated there should be a
working balance of 81, 100000 in the
general fund on July 1, 1914, ex-
elusive of the amount required to
meet extraordinary requirements for
highways and bridges
