city administration. Technical v:o:a-
tons Of the terms Of the city in the
presentation of the bids are alleged to
be the grounds upon which the city
is now basing it's investigation. The
D. Z. Keeler company Of this city was
the lowest bidder on the second call
for proposals for the big drain, but l.
is possible that this company will not
be awarded the contract on the tech
nicalities now apparent. AS the Stu
atiCn now confronts the city, the bond
of the successful and lowest bidder on
the second advertisement for bids, has
not been approved by the city. The
bond of the Keeler company has been
signed by the Southern Surety COM
pany and a certified check in the
sum Of $500 has been posted by tha
local company. Forfeiture of the
check, in the event of the bond not
being approved by the city, is threat
ened in addition to the third calling
for bids on the system. The Keller
company is now in default on its bid
for the system owing TO the fact that
the contract for the work was not
signed at the stipulated time and
therefore cannot be considered with
the other bidders who complied with
the plans and specifications as desig
mated by the city in its call for pro-
posals.

Dear Sir:
Answering your favor
OF recent date in regard
to the Influence Of
light on the quality Of
beer, Will say that our
observations extending
over the last twenty
five years, have con-
WINGED us beyond a
doubt that exposure Of
beer to light has a very
detrimental Influence on
its quality generally,
but especially upon the
flavor Of the beer.
Te have tested beers
repeatedly in this di-
rection placing the bot
ties into direct sun
light and sting the
same after one, two,
three and five minutes
exposure, found that the
beer with three and five
minutes exposure became
uadrinkable on account
Of the peculiar odor
developed.
The detrimental effect
Of light upon beer can
be successfully counter
acted by the empl oyment
Of brown or dark colored
glass bottles, and such
bottles are therefore
recommendable.

 MEXICO CITY, Oct. H. President Huerta today practically suspended the Mexican constitution and although h" has not as yet made any declaration to that effect he has assumed the lutely ignoring the constitution of Mexico and the guaranteedf freedom of speech and personal liberty of mem bers of the legislature Huerta today ordered the arrest and confinement in the federal penitentiary of one hundred and ten duly elected representatives of the people because they threatened to abandon the capital unless given guarantees of personal safety. This action on the part of the deputies came from the fact that Huerta has been threatening to declare any mem to the country and ordering them shot without trial or after the mere formal
 
 threat or the execution of il was as arbitrary and unconstitutional as Huertas' latest action and il shows that he Is making q last desperat" stand to hold the rcins of government or else that he now feels strong enough to defy the people of Mexico as he has defied the government of the United States.
 These tactics of Hucrta are th, same as Diaz employed when he be came ruler of the southern republic and are the same that kept him in absoltue power for a quarter of q cen tury or more and built up that unrc- publican aristocracy known as the CientifcOs who under the dictator Diaz were the feudal harons and rul CTS of Mexico. Mexico under Diaz was a republic in name only and with the exception of the Cientificos and a small middle class the people were nothing more than slaves and were bound to the land as much as were the serfs of fuedal times. It was these serfs that the Maderos called into action against Diaz with the power of gold and the promise of land grants. When Madero, however, succeeded in busting the old dictator Diaz he was unwilling or un- able to keep his promises to the people whom he had marshaled to his cause and he in turn was overthrown by the treachery of Huerta who assassnated in the name of the people. Now Huer- to. having bluffed the administration at Washington into apparent inactivity as he thinks is preparing to establish himself in supreme power SO as to avoid the promised elections in Octo- Der and at the same time he thinks that should the Washington govern ment evince nerve enough to object to the condition of affairs in Mexico to the extent of armed intervention he can then make his position even more
