Criticism by Representative

Close upon the echoes of Alabama

fash of Tammany warfare illumined the
House appropriations committee today,
when the chairman, Representative Fitz-
gerald of New York, charged John Pur-
roy Mitchell. fusion candidate for mayor
In New York, with efforts to mislead
the public into believing that he and his
associates respected Mayor Gaynor.''
Mr.. Mitchell In New York last night
issued statement in which he said
that Mr.. Fitzgerald SIS nothing more
OF less than McCooey's rubber stamp
With those who know the situation in
New York his words will have no more
weight from the capitol than they
would have from the wigwam.

Mr. MitcheHs statement continued
"Tammany Hall is the Frankenstein OF
the democratic party in,New York AND

all of these essential qualifications. What

IF Mr. Mitchell knows that Tammany
has had a government of corruption for
years why has he not given the infornla-

that the guilty might have been

Audaeious Test of Marksman's Skill

NJ. Colombey, in his history of duel
ing, tells an anecdote Of a certain
noted duelist Of his time.
One day this man, NJ. D., was at
Desennes shooting gallery in Paris
watching the pistol practice. There
was one man who was shooting very
well and Desenne was threatened with
the loss of all his glass balls and
swinging dolls. Every shot was greet.
ed by the spectators with exclama-
tons Of admiration.
B. looked on for awhile, and finally,
in a calm voice. made the remark. He
could not do as well on the field"
The object of the sighting remark
turned around. and in a loud and
angry tone cried: who are you to
say that: Would you like to test the
truth Of your remark"
Willingly" replied the unrecognized
dentist as he led the way out to q
secluded place. After taking their re,
spective positions. they drew lots. and
1t fell to B. to shoot last. He waited
In silence for his adversary's shot. The
man fred-and missed.
B. lowered his pistol. What die
1 tell you?" he said. with a smile
Then. putting his pistol in his pocket
he walked away whistling.

Now know the photos finished will
be altogether better than the proofs
and l don't want to be unreasonable,
but I don't like the expression of our

be possible for you to remove those
deep lines from my nose to corners Of
my mouth and TO remove that broad

pleasant for both Of US and give US a
brighter, happier look TO the eyes.

Those of the Hummins Bird Are About
the Size of Walnut.
The most exQuisitely dainty home
built by the bill and feet of birds is
that of the ruby throated humming
bird. When completed it is scarcely
larger than an English walnut and is
usually saddled on a small horizontal
limb of a tree or shrub frequently
many feet from the ground.
This dainty domicile is composed al
most entirely of soft plant fibers, frag-
ments Of spiders webs sometimes be-
ing used TO hold them in shape. The
sides are thickly studded with bits Of
lichen. and practiced indeed is the eye
of the man who can distinguish it from
a knot on the limb. The eggs are the
size of quinine pills.
Although the humming birds nest is
exceedingly frail. there appears to be
nothing on record to show that any
great numbers Of them come to grief
during the summer rains. 1t is. how
ever, not called upon for a long tenure
Of occupancy. Within three weeks
after the two little white eggs are laid

MEXICAN RECOGNITION
PASSED UP TO WILSON

Recognition of the Huerta government
in Mexico probably will be left for Presi-
dent-elect Wilson to grant. just as he
sees fit, il was learned at the State De-
partment yesterday. officials of the Taft
administration are of the opinion that in
asmuch as Mr.. Wilson will enter upon
the Presidency with delicate and criti-
cal Mexican situation upon his hands
that the question of recognition should
be left undecided between now |and
March T.
Though Ambassador Wilson is in favor
of immediate recognition of the Huerta
government. his views are not fully
shared by the present administration of
the State Department II is believed by
the present administration that broader
questions other than the situation IN
Mexico City make 1t advisable for the
United States government to withhold
recognition of the Huerta government
for the present. Inasmuch as the life
Of the present administration Is so short,
the whole matter will undoubtedly go
over to MIR. Wilson'S term of office. The
Huerta government. however. though
unrecognZed. has the friendly sympathy

PLENTY OF MONEY
FOR HUERTA REGIME

New York. Feb. 36.-The now admin
istration of Mexico which faces the per-
picking task of reconstructing the gov
ernment OF the country with a treasury
that is practically empty. has immediate
access to sio.onoO0N in New York. accord
ing TO report which came out to-day.
Less than three weeks ago. according
to this report. Ernesto Madero. then
Mexican minister of finance. sent a
special minister to New York to neGo-
tiatc loan of sI0.0OoGo with we'll
known banking firm. The negotiations
were completed, on the basis of AZ per
cent in year notes.
These notes were sold to the banking
firm. but the Diaz revolution had
reached a climax in the meantime and
they were not delivered. This banking
firm. whose name cannot be divulged. is
willing to make the loan to the new adj
mnistration In Mexico and thus 1t is
only necessary for the Huerta govern
ment to confirm the negotiations of
Ernesto Madero's messenger to obtain
the money.
How badly this s10,0oo.000 ma! be
needed is indicated by the fact that the
Mexican treasury contains only 5000
at the present time.
