GENERAL BLISS IS
UNABLE TO STOP
THE SMUGGLERS

WASHINGTON, Dec. How the
American border patrol has found it
well nigh impossible TO enforce tho en-
barge against tho shipment Of arms
and ammunition into Mexico was de-
scribed in report from Brigadier Gen
eral Bliss, commanding the forces on
the border, made public today at the
war department. Practically the entire
population along the international line,
the report said, is in sympathy with the
Mexican rebels, and as the result large
quantities Of war munitions have been
smuggled across in spite Of the unceas-
ing vigilance Of the troopers.
General Bliss complained Of the
vagueness of the law, saying that the
instructions to the army are SO general
that too much Of task was imposed
upon the troopers and junior Officers.
He recommended that two of tho best
equipped officers of the government Is
legal force be sent down to travel along
the line and decide questions Of doubt.

In this connection the general re-
ferred to instructions sent to him last
June to hold troops in readiness to 90
TO the aid Of the threatened American
consular representative at Piedras
Negras. For several days the general
pointed out. the question of possible
peace or war rested entirely upon the
discretion of this consul, as it was a
foregone conclusion that the American
soldiers would have had to fight their
way into Mexico If the necessity Of
protecting the consul had arisen

Day of Inactivity.

This was another day OF inactivity
for Washington, at least on the surface,
in the diplomatic treatment of the Mex
lean problem. Rumors OF the disap-
pearance Of General Huerta, later con-
tradicted. created considerable interest
in official circles.

comforting with General CarraDza and
his constitutionalist chiefs at Nogales,
returned today and had long talk

made on the character and personality
Of the constitutionalist chiefs and the
purposes of their movement.
Mr., Hale declined to discuss his mis-,
sion to the border, but it is understood
from authoritative quarters that he
sought no formal understanding with
the constitutionalIsts on behalf Of the
United States government and merely
made inquiry as TO what the constitu-
tionalists intended to do in certain con-
tingencies.

DICTATOR GIVES
MEXICAN PEOPLE
ANOTHER THRILL

MEXICo CITY, Dec President
Hucrta gave the people OF the capital a
thrill today by another OF his periodical
disappearances. For many hours not a
trace OF him could be found. but he re-
turned this afternoon 10 the national pal
ace, saying he had been visiting farm
near by.
Early in the day il was reported that
the president had left the capital and was
on his way to Vera Cruz Railroad OF
ficlas claimed TO have knowledge OF
General Huerta's departure on n special
train. This gave foundation for all sorts
OF rumors. which caused the president 70
determine to remain at the head of the
republic and continue mis- efforts for paci-
fication OF the country.
Three weeks ago, when President VIII
sons special representative John LIND,
sent a final message to General Huerta
setting forth certain demands by the
United States, the provisional president
could not be found and 1t was reported
that he had fled from the capital. Gen
eral Huerta, however, had merely gone
TO Tlalpam. a suburb, and returned the
following day. AT that time he laughed
at the Idea OF flight, saying he intended

OrOzco's Men Lawless.

The necessity of keeping consider
able portion Of the United States army
on the border for an indefinite period
was forecast in the report. General
the beginning of the Madero revolution,
called attention to the fulfillment Of
his prediction that the breaking up Of
OroZco's army last year into small
bands would not restore peace because
the large lawless element among the
troops would not consent to return to
ordinary vocations.
"This attitude the report said,
especially characterized the leaders
and forces in the state Of chihuahua.
These are the forces that have always
been popularity known along the border
as red flaggers.' Their leaders preach
the distribution Of land and wealth
generally, and apparently have small
concern with any other faction Of the
revolution.
"a consideration Of these facts is of
interest, as they suggest another fore
casting Of the future. The conditions
across the border which lead to one
successful revolution unfortunately
seem always to point the way to a
counter revolution. If this be the case,
the first reasonable hope Of continued
peace will come when an established
government proves strong enough to
crush the counter revolution. The prev
alence of the present conditions means
the continued occupation Of tho border
by strong force OF troops. The sue
cess Of the present revolution probably
will mean the indefinite continuance Of
this occupation in anticipation of the
counter revolution. When a counter
revolution is thoroughly crushed Cat
least in the northern states) and the
established government can occupy and
hold its own border towns, normal con-
ditions will be restored and dietribu-
tion Of our troops will be possible. -

LOOK FOR BIG RUSH
ON MORRIS AVENUE
Produce Men Optimistic.
Advance in Price of
Apples Yesterday

Morris avenue merchants continue to
show optimism and its seems to be the
opinion that business generally will
show more activity within the next two
weeks than 1t has for some time past.
The Christmas rush will soon begin In
real earnest and 1t is expected that the
dealers will be sorely taxed to meet
the great demand.
In the produce market the demand
is fair with good supplies. Prices are
practically stationary, apples and lem
ons being the only commodities eX-
periencing any change. New York inn
perial apples were yesterday advanced
so cents a barrel and lemons were ad
vanced so cents a crate.
In the poultry and egg market prices
are as usual. 1t Is not expected that
eggs will advance materially. If at all
thought, be selling around 22c and 23c
a pound to the Christmas trade. and
chickens will experience practically no
change, unless something unforeseen
develops. AT the present time the de-
mand is all that could be desired In
view of the unreasonable weather and
it is believed that 1t will materially in
crease within the next 10 days.
Fish are plentiful, the prices sta
tionary and the demand only fair. The
merchants still contain of the warm
weather and say that if it would only
become more seasonable their business
would be much better.

MARKET UNCHANGED
TO 4 POINTS HIGHER
Fluctuates Within Range of
s to 10 Points in Response
to Small Orders

New York, December 4.-The cotton
market continued very quiet today fiue-
tuating within a range of or 10 points
in response to comparatively small or
ders. Rather more favorable trade re-
ports continued. Full English spot sales
and a falling off in the southern move
ment seemed to be responsible for an
early advance, which was mostly lost in
the later trading, vita the market closing
quiet, net unchanged to points higher.
Private cables reported that the Liver
pool market had been influenced by good
trade demand in the absence of any inn
portant hedge selling, and first prices
here were to points higher. Active
months sold about'S to 10 points above
yesterdays final figures during the early
trading. but the advance seemed to re-
fleet nothing more than light scattering
demand, which was soon supplied. with
the market later easing off under equally
light and scattered selling.
According to latest reports the COM
pleted returns of one of the southern sta
tstical bureaus indicate a ginning to
December l of II ,9S0,000 bales, instead of
the carrier rumor OF l2,Voe,Ob DdieS, Dut
this changed ginning indication seemed
too slight to create any fresh sentiment
as to the probable showing of either thu
census report next Monday or the ex-
pected official estimate of the crop on
the following Friday.
Reports from Fall River that mill oper-
atives had voted against a strike follow
ing the refusal of their employers to ad-
vance wages, may have helped some OF
the early buying, and there We're alsc
rather more optimistic reports from the
textile trade, with predictions of an in.
creased demand for cotton goods after
the holidays.
The falling off in receipts at the ports
and interior towns attracted some bull
ish attention, particularly as spot sales
in the leading southern markets so far
this week have been in excess of last
year. but bearishly disposed traders at
tributed the smaller movement to bad
weather in the southwest. or falling
off in demand. 1t was claimed that a
comparison of the into-sight with the gin
ming figures this year and last suggest
ed an Immediately available supply in
excess of lass seasons without reference
to the ultimate size of the crop.
Business may have been restricted to
some extent by the interest taken in the
vote on the proposed changes in the
exchange bylaws, which were almost
unanimously adopted.
