MILITIA Is CALLED

Indianapolis, Nov. 6.-Military
rule will prevail in Indianapolis to-
night.
Governor Ralston this afternoon
set five p. m. as the hour for state
troops to seize the city. His pro-
clamation of martial law will follow
soon afterward.
Under the soldiers protection the
strikebound local traction company

feared as a result Of the attempt.
Strike sympathizers have defeated
the police in repeated battles
throughout the last five days. Many
believed they would give even the
militia hard tussle, at least.
The governors call was for the en-

would have been nearly 1900 men.

Washington, Nov. President
Wilson will leave it to congress to
decide whether or not to permit the
importation of arms by the Mexican
rebels, it was learned on unimpeach-
able authority today.
The president has power to sus-
pend neutrality, but prefers not to
exercise 1t. The proposition will be
discussed, however. II he and his
advisers decide peace would be hast
ened by giving the rebels a free hand,
he probably will recommend It to
congress. This is as far as he will
go.

rama. the rebel leader, transmitted
through Or. Henry Allen Tupper of
the International Peace Forum, to
the effect that, with an adequate sup
ply or weapons and ammunition he
can overthrow Huerta soon, estab-
fishing a constitutional government,
Official notice will be taken neither
by the president nor by Secretary
Bryan.
1t was reported today that Will
liam Bayard Hale, unoffcially repre-
senting the president, was on his
way with Perez Romero, a constitu-
tionalist agent, to Nogales, Sonora
to confer with General Carranza. but
the report could NOT be verified.

GRANTS PASS MAN
"HERO OF GRIDIRON''

, A writer for the Chicago Record
Herald, in an article dealing with
Heroes OF the Gridiron." has the
following Of a former premier player
OF the University OF Michigan team,
VIM. Heston, Grants Pass boy and
son OF J. W. Heston of this city:
"Of such material were the vol
yerine teams made up in the days
past, and the greatest of them all
has not been mentioned; one guess,
and the true Michigan man is certain
to give three cheers for William Hes
ton, known TO every Michigan man
as Willie" greatest OF all football
players at'the University of Michigan.
Few probably would contend that
Snow or Garrells should be SO placed,
at least alongside of Heston, but 1t
is a safe bet that Heston gets the
palm from the majority, and this
probably would include Coach Yost
himself.
"Heston burst into view in 1901
and for four glorious years continued
to make football history for Michi-
gan. Stop Heston" became the
watehword on western gridirons. He
was few times, but not often When
this marvel did not make his distance
there were mighty good reasons for
it. His 1870 pounds were supported
by pair Of legs which could eat up
the distance close to ten seconds for
the 100 yards. He could beat Archie
Hahn, then the fastest sprinter in
the west, at thirty yards and was
seldom more than three steps be-
hind him In the 100"
Going into statistics it might be
mentioned that Michigan during the
four years which Heston played
scored a total of 1926 points to 40
for Its opponents. To Hestion be-
longed a goodly share of this total,
but the work usually assigned to him
was to carry the ball close to the goal
line and then push over some one
else for the touch down. This was
not because Heston could not hit
the line when It was needed. No, 1t
wasn't necessary, that was all.
"Heston was seldom at loss as to
what to do. He was the original
quick thinker on the grldlron Thus
It happened in the game against the
University OF Chicago that Heston
had broken loose for one of his cele-
brated runs. Eckersall, then at the
height of his fame, was between him
and the goal 1t looked like a sure
tackle for the gritty maroon quarter
back, but Heston had other plans. |
Straight at Eckersall he ran and with
a flying leap in the air hurdled him |
and went about his business. In ad-
ditton to his speed he was a man of
iron. 1t is the unofficial record that
Heston never asked for time" dur
ing his career as a player.
Rivals claimed that he was
high priced player, but the records
show that Heston spent his vacations
and spare moments painting fences
and working at hard manual labor,
which does not very well jibe with
fancy salary. He was indeed
never rich enough to go back to his
home at Grants Pass. Oregon, while

DIsQUIETING NEWS
COMES FROM MEXICO

Washington, Nov. 6.-Disquieting
Mexican news was believed to have
reached the administration today.
Immediately after reaching his Of
fee Secretary Bryan rushed to the
president, carrying with him bundle
of dispatches which arrived durins
the night. A long conference fol-
lowed.
Bryan was asked, ON his way to
the chief executives Office, if it were
true that Huerta had told Charge
d'Affaires O'Shaughnessy he must
continue in office, the people having
failed to elect a successor to him. To
this question the secretary returned
no reply.
Rumored that Huerta Defies U. 5.
II was persistently rumored, how
ever, that Huerta had de6ed the
United States.
The secretary of state refused also
to discuss the report that William
Bayard Hale. who investigated con-
ditions in Mexico for the president
some time ago, was in communication
with General Carranza, the rebel
leader, and that the administration
already had received a preliminary
report Of the rebels strength.
1t was known that John Lind in
Vera Cruz anG Charge d'Afaires
O'Shaughnessy in Mexico City had re-
ported to the state department that
anti-American feeling was increasing
in the Mexican capital and its vicin-
ity.
Anti-.imerican Outbreak Feared
It was believed they greatly feared
anti-American outrages as a result
of the Huertaista's bitterness against
President Wilson for insisting on
their leaders, retirement.
Chairman Bacon of the senate for
eign relations committee, called both
at the White House and the state
department. He would not speak
of his conversations with President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan, but it
was the general impression that the
president will soon lay the entire
Mexican situation before congress-
The lifting of the embargo on the
arms the rebels are so anxious to i'm
port seemed likely to be the first
proposition to be considered. The
probability was also suggested of an
American blockade of the Mexican
coast to prevent Huerta from secur-
ing more weapons and ammunition
In submitting the subject to con-
gress, 1t was expected the president
would personally address a joint ses-
sion Of both houses, furnishing the
lawmakers with the fullest possible
information and recommending the
course he deems it best to pursue,
Today's policy was one of absolute
secrecy. Only President Wilson,
Secretary Bryan and their closest
friends and advisers knew the exact
situation.

Duck Raising.

For those who have grassy range
and the patience to work regularly
and intelligently with birds of any
kind there is large profit in raising
ducks for market purposes. There
is also good money in raising pure
bred ducks for breeding purposes.
The business can be combined and
the birds raised for both purposes.
One who has never raised ducks
should start with a small number and
gradually feel his way till he has
learned the habits and needs of the
birds. Beginning in a small way is
always the safest plan with any ami
mails. A certain amount Of expert
cnce is necessary before one can be
sure oS success with large numbers.
Having once well mastered the details

young ducks, it is possible to RAISE
Them by the thousands with the great

frequently hatch out and rear 10000 or
more birds each season. Special duck
farms are becoming popular, and the
market demand for young ducks is
never oyersupplied, but is steadily
growing with time.
There are several advantages in rals-

and you nave won more than half the
battle in the business. They may be
hatehed with ducks, hens or with in
cubators. On a large scale the artific-
ial method is most practicable.
One thing in particular must be re-
membered in raising and fattening
ducks, and that is, they must not be
often disturbed or frightened. They
are not as tame as chickens. and the
attendant must move with caution
among large flock They are easily
frightened, and fright will cause them
to stand still in growth or to actually
lose flesh. The Pekin duck is, no doubt.
the easiest of all ducks to control. It's
fecundity ard rapid growth are unsur

~ and are pneXcellod in meat quality

In feeding and forcing young ducks

fiety of good foods. y good ration COM

ing ducks over other kinds of poultry.
One of these is that ducks are rela-
lively free from disease and ailments
with reasonably sanitary surroundings
Only inexpensive equipment is required.
and the birds viii make much of their
growth on cheap forage 1t they are
furnished pasture in season. One very
strong point in favor of raising ducks
for market purposes is that the young
mature quickly. They Also attain
large size. from to s pounds, in ten
weeks with forced feeding, and the
prices for fancy young ducks as always
good. and usually quite high. With
no ether domestic animals can the
money from feed and care be turned
over so quickly and with such good
dividends as with ducks in experienced
hands. The business Of growing mar
ket and breeding ducks is fascinating
IN the extreme. 1t is business that
will grow in favor With time. Meats
of all KINDS are steadily rising in price,
hence, market ducks of good quality
are almost sure to held good, or stead
lily rise with time.
When starting with ducks, be sure
to secure good stock. The Pekin duck
is beyond question the best market
duck. although some other breeds and
crosses are eood. Keep only one pure
breed. and make something from the
sale OF eggs for Matching and stock
for breeding purposes. start with Pc
kins or some kind that the market
wants. Learn how to hatch and care
for the young so dis to avoid early
losses Young ducks like all young
birds are tender and subject to all
