LIFTING OF EMBARGO
ON ARMS NOT NEEDED

Washington, d. c., Nov. lS.-Presi-
dent Wilson and the cabinet met to-
day and discussed the latest phases Of
the Mexican situation. Overnight de-
velopments apparently brought no
change, but keen interest was shown
in the organization of the new Mexi-
can congress. Some officials were in
clined to believe that body would heed
the warning of the United States and
take no action on concessions.
Talk of a blockade of Mexican ports
was revived, but high officials said
such step had not been determined
en-. Foremost advisers of the admin
istration are counselling patience.
The report that Carranza might not
need to have the embargo on arms
lifted to insure his success, strength
ened the conviction of many officials
that such step had been taken only
in a remote contingency.
Confidence prevailed that the United
States might wait a few days Tor the
full effect of the recent constitution
alist victories and for the attitude OF
foreign governments to become more
emphasized.
The cabinet meeting was described
BY secretaries as general discussion
of the situation without any concrete
conclusion being reached, The gen.
e1al disposition seems to be to await
DEVELOPMENTS with confidence.

ANXIETY FELT
FOR SAFETY OF
ARCTIC PARTY

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 1S.-While
some anxiety is felt of late for the
safety of Vilhjamur Stefanson and
the Canadian Arctic exploration eXpe-
dit,on which lie led into the frozen
north some months ago. it was said
here today that nothing had been
heard recently which indicated disas
ter to the party.
The three ships carrying the navi
gators and scientists, the whalers kar
LUX and Belvedere and the steam
schooner Mary Sachs, were last seer
by Captain Backland, whose own yes
sci was lost in the ice at Point Bar
row in August. Backland said Ste
fansson's boats had found lead III
the ice east of Point Barrow and
steamed away to the northeast before
he started for Seattle. Nothing has
been seen or heard Of them since they
dropped from the view of the lookout
stationed at that point.
The supposition here among those
familiar with Stefansson's plans is
that his ships We're frozen in. 1t is
possible even that they have beer
crushed, as they We're not built to re
sist the ice pressure; but Stefansson
was prepared to take to the ice in that
event and there is no more reason tc
feel anxiety for him, his friends say
than there was months ago.
The fourth Stefansson ship, the
Alaska, is frozen in near shore east OF
Point Barrow.

REGARDING The CAUSES THAT

ROCK ISLAND LOST
ON FRISCO DEAL IN 1903

st. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 1S.-A hearing
was held today before examiner K. E
Clark regarding the financing of the
st. Louis and San Francisco railroad
and the causes that led to the presen
receivership of the line. B. +. Yoak
um, chairman of the board Of direc
tors, was the first witness.
Mr.. Yoakum said the difficulty will
the road was one mainly of finance
He said he did not think there wal
any effort to get aid from banks othel
than those interested in the Frisco.
"Was the Frisco in sound enough
condition to warrant the sale Of
$3,O00,000 worth of general lien bonds
in April and May, this year?' he was
asked.
"We had every reason to believe we
could carry out these negotiations,
he answered, "and the result would
have been to take care of the Frisco s
for some time to come. These nego-
tiations involved the sale of an in
terest in the Chicago and Eastern Hi
nois at a price satisfactory to the
management. 1t would have tided us
over, together with the good prospect
we had for satisfactory deal for Ari-
zona and New Mexico lands, and ev-
erything pointed to a deal for six or
seven million dollars, which would
have solved the trouble
Mr.. Yoakum said that the Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific railroad lost
heavily by the deal through which il
acquired control of the Frisco in 1903
BY this deal, the Rock Island eX-
changed $120 of its own stock and
bonds for each $4,000 share of
Frisco stock. Six years later the
Rock Island sold its Frisco hold
ings to Yoakum, Edward Hawley
James Campbell and syndicate for
$3.50 a share. Mr.. Yoakum said that
the Rock Island securities that enter,
ed into the S120 payment We're not
worth par, but that the Rock Island
lost heavily.
ID. E. Brown, examiner for the inter.
state commerce commission, today
made public data showing that in the
last ten years S320OO,O00 had been
paid by the Frisco, to New York and
St. Louis bankers as interest and
commissions.

10000 LABORERS
STRIKE TO-DAY IN
SOUTH AFRICA

Durham, Natal Union of South Afri
ca Nov 1S.-The strike of East In
dian laborers spread today to the
south coast. Practically every one OF
100000 workmen of East Indian blood
in Natal has laid down his tools at
noon.
Thus far the strikers have been
comparatively peaceable but serious
disorders may break out at any mo-
rent.
Ill feeling among the East Indians
has been considerably augmented by
two incidents yesterday. The first
was the death from flogging of a coal
mine laborer in Dundee, 20 miles
north of Ladysmith. The second was
the arrest of 1000 East Indians, who
attempted to cross from the Trans
vaal into Natal.

STATES RIGHTS
MIXED VITA
CONSERVATION

Washington, d. c., Nov. lS.-lt was
evident when the national conserva-
ton congress met today in it's fifth an
nual convention, that sharp fight
was contemplated ON federal policies
by those delegates who contend the
Washington government is usurping
the rights of the states to regulate
their own possessions. 1t was report
ed early that the committee appoint
ed to consider the water power prob
lem had failed to agree and that the
majority would recommend revision
of the governments conservation
methods.
The states rights advocates will
meet with strenuous opposition This
was made apparent in the speech OF
Charles Lathrop Pack, retiring presl
dent OF the organization, who declared
"enemies" sought to make it appear
that conservation meant reservation
and the locking up of natural resour-
ces for future generations.
Credit for the conservation move
ment in Canada was given the United
States by James White, deputy head
of the Canadian conservation commits
sion. MIR. White expressed hope for a
convention between Great Britain and
the United States for international
protection to migratory birds.
After working several hours today,
the water power committee failed to
agree on a report. Clifford Pinchot
and Henry l.. Stimson, former secre-
tary of war, would, it was reported,
sign one report, and DR.. George F..
Swain, of Harvard and others of the
committee would sign another.

INITIATE Law TO ALLOW
STATE TO mine COAL

Trinidad. Colo, Nov. 1S.-An eXplo'
sion of dynamite early today wrecked
the home of Dominic Peffelo, camp
marshal at Piedmont, near here.
Peffelo was literally blown out OF
his bed by the force of the explosion
which tore down the walls of the
house and broke windows, blew in
doors and knocked down the chin
'neys of several other buildings.
The attack upon the Peffelo house
is believed to have been directed at
Jesse Shaw, former president OF
the Sopris miners union, who 1t is
learned recently was deposed and has
since said to have threatened to
tell everything Shaw lived with
Peffelo Early last night he left for
Pueblo where he had been summoned
to testify in connection with the
strike investigation by the federal
grand jury.
Hundreds OF residents of Trinidad
were awakened by the noise and con-
cussion of the blast and on the north
side of the city, houses were shaken,
Several explosions Of dynamite have
taken place recently in the vicinity OF
Sopris and Piedmont but the one this
morning is the first to do any dam
age. The Piedmont mine is owned
by the Rocky Mountain Fuel company
and has been closed down since the
Inauguration of the strike on Septem'
Der %.
The arrival here this morning OF
Colonel e. j. Boughton, judge advo-
cate. who has been comforting several
days in Denver, has given rise to the
belief that a military court for the
trial of all persons charged with law
violation in connection with the coal
strike, will convene in a few days.
Plans are now being held in abeyance,
pending a final decision by Governor
Ammons who is reported to be unwill-
ing at present to allow the civil courts
to be superseded.
Seven union miners, arrested Satur-
day night by the militia for boarding a
street car and attacking four non
union miners were given hearing in
police court this morning and released
with a small fine.
Would Have State Mines.
Pueblo, Colo, Nov. 1S.-Petitlons
have been placed in circulation here
for the initiation Of law, to be voted
on at the next election, by which the
state will be empowered to engage in
the mining of coal on lands owned by
the state. Similar petitions will be cir
culated in other cities Of the state.
The state Federation of Labor is back
ing the proposed law.

THANKSGIVING
NOT EXCLUSIVE
CATHOLIC FETE

Washington, d. c., Nov. 1S.-Protes-
tant clergymen of the capital have
Launched protest against the official
atmosphere they contend is thrown
about the annual Pan-American
Thanksgiving mass here in st. Pat
rick's church. The service usually
is attended by the president, mem
bers of the cabinet, justices of the SUI
preme court, the diplomatic corps and
other dignitaries. President Wilson
has accepted an invitation to attend
this year.
The Rev. R. H. McKim, former presl-
dent of the Episcopal house of depu-
ties, is the author of a resolution ad-
opted today by the Episcopalian, Luth-
eran, Baptist and Disciples of Christ
clergy and which. will be considered
by Presbyterian clergymen Monday.
"The attendance of our chief magis-
Itrate and members of his cabinet,
year after year." says the resolution,
has been made use of to give color to
the Roman claim that the service is
the official celebration of Thanks
giving day in our national capital.
This fact has been understood in the
United States and abroad to give the
Roman Catholic church a prestige and
pre-eminence over all other churches.
Every effort is being made by the Ro-
man hierarchy to give this Roman mass
the color of an official function.
1--WE protest against the attempt to
convert our national Thanksgiving day
into Roman Catholic festival in
service entirely out of harmony with
the history of the genius of our coun-
try and the spirit and purpose of the
day.
"Nye desire to give voice to the wide
spread feeling of Indignation among
millions of Protestants of America
against the efforts of the Roman press
and the Roman hierarchy to exploit
the presence of our chief magistrate
and some of his cabinet, (Which we
are convinced has only been intended
as an act of courtesy and good wild
for the purpose Of glorifying the Ro-
man Catholic church and giving this
service an official characterization 1t
does not and cannot possess"

In Conference Again.

Nogales, Sonora, Nov. 1S.-Willlam
Bavard Hale, President Wilson's per-
sonal representative, and francisco
Escudero. General Carranza's minister
of foreign relations, began at noon TO-
day what was regarded as probably
the final conference of the diplomatic
parleys between the American govern
ment and the Mexican constitutions
lists. headed by Venustiano Carranza.
Escuerdo announced that Carranza
was preparing an exhaustive manlfes-
to regarding the position of the con-
stitutionalist leaders both on the do
nestle and international affairs OF
Mexico.
If was stated also that preparations
we're being made to remove the mead
quarters of the constitutionallst S
provisional government back to Her
mosillo, capital of Sonora Carranza
has maintained both civil and MILL
tary headquarters here since negotla-
tions with the Washington govern
ment began.
A
between William Bayard Hale, on be-
half of President Wilson and Venustl-
ano Carranza, chief of the Mexican
constitutionalists, was expected some
time today despite rumors to the con-
trary. Hales' negotiations were said
to have brought to light difference
of opinion which might deadlock diplo-
matte exchanges. No intimation OF
the nature of this difference has been
given by either side. 1t was apparent,
however, that it was an important one
and until the intimation was given at
constitutionalist headquarters that
Hale and Carranza would again meet
today, there was some doubt that
there would be another conference.
Several officials expressed the belief
that today might see the conclusion OF
the negotiations between President
Wilson's envoy and the constitution
alists: but no opinions were verified
as to what the definite result of the
conferences would be.
Much interest was expressed here
today in Escudero's plain declaration
of last night that the lifting of the
embargo by the United States govern
ment on the expectation of arms and
ammunition was no longer viewed as
essential to the success of the consti'
tutionalist movement.
The victories over the Huerta
forces at Juarez and elsewhere were
believed to have occasioned the state
ment.
Carranza Is Admitted Leader
Nogales, Sonora, Nov. 1S.-General
Carranza had long talk this after
noon by telephone with General Villa
at Juarez. It was said that Villa ex-
pressed his willingness to abide by
any orders from Carranza and that
other insurgent chiefs in Chihuahua
state were also in sympathy with the
constitutionalist commander in chief.
General Hugh Scott, commanding
United States troops on boarder patrol
arrived this afternoon from El Paso,
his headquarters. No explanation was
offered for his visit here at this time.

SEATTLE TO-DAY

Seattle, Wash, Nov. 1S.-The pro

this morning when the convention i'll
session here defeated two constitu-
tional amendments of similar ma
Iof strike benefits.
The first measure would have given
the executive council discretionary
power to authorize payment to newly
organized unions, the members of
which were locked out or discharged
for having organized. The second
substituted "the" for discretionary"
The vote on it was 60 10 Il5; on the
second II TO li2.
Advocates of the amendments de-
clared the industrial Workers Of the
World had accomplished much that
the Federation had been unable to do,
because of the provision of the consti-
tuition making striking benefits avail

bers of a union at least year.

day for labor when we stoop to meet
the frivolous, purposeless charges
made by that sort of people. Every
