The Truth About
Electric Cooking

For large families where
the average domestic help is
employed and a large
amount Of cooking done,
Electric Cooking will be
found more expensive, and
in most cases not advisable.
In small families, where
no help is employees, and
where nice equipment is de-
sired, Electric cooking will
be found many times more
convenient, more certain in
results and safer in opera
tion-as well as reasonable
liz cost.
In every family a few
utensils for early breakfast
emergency and special uses
and for cheering up cold
meals with a warm dish or
two--is highly advisable
from every standpoint, In
Guiding that of economy.

Washing gton, Nov. 2O-The eyes of official Washington were turned today on the Mexican Congress and Huerta's s message on his recent assumption of dic&orth powers. The possibility that the new congress might act on con- sessions d1scred1ted in advance by the United States was thought in many quarters to be a pivot on which the nent move by this government might turn.
 Those who have been of the opinion that Huerta would retire after his acts had been ratified by the coongress still held cnffdence in their theory
 So far as can be learned. the Amer ican government means to continue it's plan of financial blockade with diplo-
 naeic pressure from without.
 The closing feature of Huerta's mes sage in which, after proposing the sanction of Congress, he added that if this was withheld and authority en- trusted to another, he and his minis ters were agreed in advance to accept such a. result, was regarded with some significance as indicating that Huerta himself was at last recognizing the possibilities of his own elirnipation.
 Some officials declared there was no new move in prospect for the irnmedi-- ate future. It was also said that no instruction of a final character had gone forth to Charge d'Affaires O'ShaughneSSy.
 The departure of William Bayard Hale from Noga1es after parleying with the Constitutionalists also was said to be factor in the delay It was regarded as possible that officials here would await MT. Hale's return to gain first hand information before making another move.
 Huerta's message, which he head in person to the Mexican Congress, is as follows:
 @.In accordance with the constftu- tiona1 provision relative to the mat ter, it is the duty of the chief execu- tive to inform the Congress of the nation twice every year of the status of public affairs, these reports cor ings of the regular sessions of eyour- duties. This provision having been complied with by means of the ex- tensive reports read in this chamber on September 16. last, and as 1t hap pened at the time that the first of April was far head, at which time the government should once more bring to your attention the status of the na,- tioual situation, it can now be under stood that this brief message cannot be so extensive as the other docu- nents but that 1t should be limited to giving you an account of the political events which have taken place since October 10, last, to this significant date in which. by virtue of the solemn , promise have made before the l nation and the world. the country is 1 resuudng it's course underline straight and infledble provisions of the funda- mental chart of the republic and this within such a pereTnptory time neces- 1 sari1y so sets in relief before persons not +actuated by passion the fndispu- | table good faith and the unexce1led l good will with which the government 1

A most daring burglary by 'profes- sionals was frustrated in the residence of John H.

 According to the msasre tnf0r1na- ton supplied to the authorities In Westport at a late hour today, it was sometime after midnight when the alarm rang in Gne- room of the Coles careta1ker, some distance from the handsome residence which has been. closed for the season.
 Taking his revolver the carstaker walked over to the home and was sur. prised to see a Night burniug-in one Of the upper roms. Quietly opening the front door, he t1ptoed upstairs and came suddenly upon two rough char acters who were closing sudt-cases fn which much silVerware and other arti- cIes of value had been placed. One of the pair jumped through a front window upon a porch, by which means they had gained access- The other attempted to draw a murderous six shooter of western type, but the care taker had his man covered and Ta5 upon the point of shooting when his opponent realized the danger and dropping his gun threw up both hands.
 Walking the captured burglar to the nearest house Deputy Sherin IT. R. EIwood of Fairfield was called up and later placed him under arrest. He refused to divulge his identity other than to admit that he came from Cali fornia. A search for the other burg lar has so far failed in tracing him

 WORTH $8O,O0O.

It was learned today that the five suits brought by Fannie H. McMahon and others against the city were set tied on the basis that the property in question is worth between S75,0o0 and $80, ,000. This property includes the wharf on Stratford avenue and Stee- p1echase Island. The bridge between Seavfew avenue and the island was not included nor the boats at the wharf.
