Federal Aid for Roads

st. Louis, Nov. 12.-Federal aid
for good roads work was urged by
Governor Major of Missouri and Sena-
tor Bankhead of Alabama at the open
ing session of the United States good
roads convention.
Governor Major told the delegates
that 1900 miles of good roads could be
built for the cost of one battleship
and that the federal government had
spent 100000 on good roads work
in the Philippines, 100000 in Porto
Rico, $1,500,000 in the Panama canal
zone and $4,000 in the isle of Guam
a total much greater than federal ex-
penditures on good roads in conti-
mental United States.
Senator Bankhead urged that pres
sure for federal aid be brought on con-
gress and said few senators would re-
fuse to present the appeals of their
own states for road appropriations.

Indians Claim CHICAGO Land

Chicago, Nov. 14.-All plans for mu-
nicipal improvement along the 20
miles of lake front here were leopard
lied today by suit for Injunction
filed against the city and others by
representatives of the Pakagon band
of the Pottawatomie nation of Indians
The suit laso makes claim to a strip
of land along the lake front from
Evanston to South Chicago, valued
at many millions.
The Indians based their suit upon
treaty between the United States
and the united tribes of Ottawas,
Chippewas and Pottawatomie Indians,
August 13, 1775, at Greenville, Ohio.
The government surveys, the suit
charges, show that the eastern boun-
dairy of the grant is 100 feet back
from the lake. provision intended to
give the Indians fishing and camping
privileges along the lake shore. A
somewhat similar suit was filed a
year ago by Indians of several tribes
individually. 1t is now pending in the
federal court.

Will Benefit Settlers

Washington, Nov. 13-Secretary of
the Interior Lane announced today
that installments of building charges
on all government irrigation projects
which fall delinquent Dec. 1, are re-.
duced to one.third the installment
and installments building charges
which fall delinquent March I, April
1 and May 1, 1914 are reduced to one.
third, but in no case to less than so
cents per acre.
No proceedings for cancellation on
account of delinquencies previous to
the dates mentioned, will be taken un.
til the dates named. Installments,
which become due on these dates, will
not become delinquent and payable
until the expiration at IL months
thereafter. This is virtual reduc.
tion of payments, ordered to ease the
burden upon settlers, many of whom
are unable to meet their obligations
if full payments are exacted.

Big Diamond Robbery

st. Paul, Nov. 16.-N. Grossman, q
Chicago diamond merchant who was
robbed Of $4,000 worth of diamonds
on train before it entered the Twin
Cities early today, told the police to-
night that the robbery had left him
practically penniless. Private detec.
tives and Twin City police are search.
ing for the thieves tonight and a re.
ward of $4,000 has been offered for
their arrest.
Grossman said he left Chicago Tues
day night, made a trip through west.
ern Illinois and northern Iowa, and
spent Friday in Davenport.
II spent last evening talking with
passengers on the train and retired
at 10 o'clock. I placed the bag of
diamonds beneath my pillow. When
l awoke this morning the bag was
missing"
Grossman told the police that he re.
quested the train crew to search all
passengers, but that his request was
refused.
The fact that more than $3.50 in
cash was left undistrubed by the
thieves caused police to believe the
diamond robbery had been carefully
planned. 1t also is believed that Gross
man was placed under the influence
of drug by the thieves.

MEXICAN CRISIS NEAR
Ultimatun From Washington Wilt
Produce Results

Ultimatum From Washington Wilt
Produce Results
Mexico City, Nov. 12.-General Vic.
toriano Huerta tacitly refused to &C.
cede to the demands of the United
States, expressed in an ultimatum
sent to him by President Wilson's
personal representative, John Lind.
General Huerta was notified early in
the day that unless he returned an
answer by 6 o'clock to the effect that
he would prevent the newly-elected
congress from convening, and further
more make this action known to the
members of the diplomatic corps by
midnight, the United States govern
ment would have no further parley.
ing with the Mexican government.
Mr.. Lind waited until 6 o'clock and
received no answer. He then made
arrangements for his departure on
the train, leaving for Vera Cruz at 8
O'Clock. 1t was announced, however,
that General Huerta had one chance
more-that if he took the action de-
manded by midnight. the fact that he
failed to reply to Mr.. Lind within the
time specified would be overlooked.
Mr.. Lind could see no good reason to
suppose that Huerta intended to ac-
cede.
Nelson 'Shaughnessy, the charge,
was the messenger who delivered the
ultimatum. He was unable to get
into personal touch with General HUI
erta, but left the message at the pres
ident's Office.

Rescued from Burning Ship

Hamilton, Bermuda, Nov. 16.-The
Spanish steamer Balmes, with her cot
ton cargo on fire, was towed into St.
Georges harbor this morning by the
tugs Gladisfen and Powerful. convoy
ed by the Cunard liner Pannonia. The
Cunarder had on board 103 passengers
Of the Balmes, taken off the burning
ship Friday morning in midocean,
while heavy seas were running.
When the Balmes came to anchor in
the harbor her matches were lifted.
Great clouds of smoke belched forth,
but powerful pumps sent tons of wat
er into her hold. and drowned the fire.
The steamer is in good condition.
The Pannonia sailed for New York
at 10 o'clock this morning.
The fire on the Balmes was dis
covered Wednesday night at II
o'clock while the steamer was plow-
ing eastward on her trip to Cadiz,
Spain, from Galveston and Havana.
The flames were in Hold No. 2, and
spread rapidly, the smoke penetrating
to the engine room and the stoke hold.
The second engineer and several of
the crew were overcome, but stuck
to their posts.
The wireless operator, by direction
of Captain Ruiz, then began sending
out calls for assistance. The call
reached the Pannonia some 18O miles
to the north, bound for New York,
and Captain Robert Capper went to
the Spaniard's aid, reaching her on
Thursday night. The British cruiser
Suffolk also answered the Balmes'
plea, but her message was indistinct.
Captain Copper stood by the Balmes
until morning and then took off her
passengers, the captain and crew
electing to remain on board their ship
to navigate her and fight the fire.

May End EGO Famine.

Philadelphia, Nov. 12.-Eggs sold as
high as rs cents a dozen in the local
market yesterday. This is new rec
ord price for the season and was OBJ
tanned for extra large specimens,
guaranteed to be not more than "a
hours old. Ordinary fresh eggs
brought from IS to so cents dozen.
Dairy and Food Commissioner Foust
yesterday declared that 80 per cent.
of the 100000 dozen or more eggs
in cold storage here are April eggs
and under the law, must be sold be-
fore December /. He is of the belief
that the sudden release of these eggs
will force down the price.

marines already is guarding the coast
of Mexico to protect it's citizens, ac-

Montana Farmers Lose Suit

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE supreme
court today dismissed the SUIT of tho
Montana farmers, who had been de-
feated in lower courts, in their fight
for relief from, the fumes OF The Ana
conda copper smelter at Anaconda,
which they alleged ruined their crops
and lands.
The case was dismissed because
the farmers failed to print al enor
nous record which came up from the
lower courts. It is said compromise
had been reached by which the smelt.
er will be operated with less objection

MAKING SLOW PROGRESS
Financial Boycott May Finally Settle
Mexican Problem

washington, Nov. 17.-That the
united States in its policy toward the
provisional government in Mexico. is
content to await the outcome of the
steady pressure being exerted against
the Huerta regime, was apparent to.
day In official circles here. Exciting
rumors from Mexico City failed to ruff
nle the calm confidence of President
Wilson or Secretary of State Bryan.
"The mills Of the gods grind slow
ly,' was the declaration of one high
official Of the government, in discuss
Ing the developments. The president
was not at all aroused by reports that
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy, the American
charge d'affaires, was about to quit
Mexico City, and it was stated that
no orders had been given either to
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy or to John Lind at
Vera Cruz to leave Mexico.
Rumors that the American embassy
would be closed within 48 hours, were
characterized in official circles as un.
true.
The president told callers that while
there had been some change in the
Mexican relations as to persons, there
had been no essential change in the
circumstances to which he referred
the other day as seeming favorable
to solution Of the difficulty.
The president, it is said, is confident
that the financial boycott of the Hu-
erta regime by the United States and
the great powers will be a powerful
factor in bringing about the end of
Huerta.

Washington News Notes

Washington, Nov. 17.-A total of "a

basket of the faithful in Montana
since the Inauguration of President
Wilson, according to an official state
ment made to the senate. OF this
number the terms of Is had expired

ministration.
Reseeding of depleted grazing lands

Visitors to the Yellowstone National
park next season may receive a reduc-
tion in transportation charges of 20
per cent, as a result of lower bid Of
fered for the Monida- Yellowstone con-
tract, soon to be awarded by the sec
retary of the interior. J. E. Haines of
st. Paul, the present contractor on
this route, has submitted a bid guar
anteeing this reduction to passengers
If awarded the contract. Should Mr..
Haynes offer be accepted, it is be-
lieved other transportation companies
hauling tourists through the park
would be compelled to meet the rate,
which would mean saving of SO on
each fare.
