PRESIDENT IS DlSPLEASED
May End Negotiations With Carranza
Because Of Executions.

Washington, Nov. 19.-Rumors OF
an impending break in this govern.
ments negotiations with the Mexican
Constitutionalists are widely current
here.
Two causes are assigned. The ex-
ecution OF federal leaders at Juarez
has displeased President Wilson and
Secretary Of State Bryan. But the
compelling reason is said to be the
lunwillingness of Carranza to make
definite promises governing his future
action.
This latter is most important II the
Constitutionalists are to get arms
from this side OF the border.
The situation SO far as Huerta is
concerned remains unchanged. John
Lind and Nelson O'Shaughnessy con.

Durbin, Natal, Nov 19.-The strike
OF the East Indian laborers has
spread to the south coast. Prac-
tically every one of the 10000
workmen of East Indian blood in
Natal has laid down his tools.
Thus far the strikers have been
comparatively peaceable, but serious
disorders may break out at any mo-
ment.
I'll feeling among the East Indians
has been considerably augmented by
two incidents which occurred during
the last twenty-four hours. The first
of these was the death from fiogging
OF laborer in the coal mining town
of Dundee, twenty miles north of
Ladysmitlf.
The second was the arrest of 1000
East Indians, who attempted to
cross the border from the Transvaal
into Natal.
The federal law of the Union of
South Africa prohibits the emigra-
tion of Asiatics from one state TO
another. The 1000 East Indians
from the Transvaal had planned a
demonstration in sympathy with the
strikers in Natal.

DUCHESS MAY ACT AS
CENSOR OF THE DRAMA
Artistic Peeress Has Said She Would
Accent the Position.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
London, Nov. S-The Duchess Of Rut-
land has informed the Lord Chamber
lains office that she is willing to accept
the post OF censor OF plays IL it is offered
10 her. Friends declare that the duchess
would make an excellent censor.
/, There is no reason why the position
should not be filed by woman. She
knows more about art and the theater
than mary dramatic critics and rarely
misses a first night Her bosom friend
Is Lady Tree, wife of the actor-manager,
and she really led the way to society for
a number of actors and their wives.
Unfortunately the duchess is by no
means popular in court circles. King Ed
ward openly dislIked her and never would
meet her in an informal way. Neither
King George nor Queen Mary seems to
care for her society. The duchess daush-
ter, Lady Diana Manners. Is the most dis
cussed girl in society. She is very pretty
and, like her mother. is always eccen-
trically dressed in a theatrical fashion.

SHE LOVES REAL ESTATE AGENT

Special Cable to The Washington Herald
London, Nov. S-The romantic mar
rage Of the Duke and Duchess OF Port
land. immensely wealthy. most in
fiuential leaders of society, may be re-
peated by their only daughter. Lady
Victoria Cavendish- -Bentinck, and Ed
ward Nairne, of Shoreham, com
moner."
Naturally the alliance OF the daughter
of the great Duke and socially important
Duchess with a Marine OF Shoreham Is
opposed by her family, although the
young man comes OF a solid Scotch
family. He is a real estate agent, which
barely comes under the head of a gentle
manly vocation in the view Of aristocrats.
But opposition to the engagement is wan
ing, as Lady Victoria is determined to
accept Marine. Only public announce
ment of their engagement Is lacking.
AS in the case of her parents, Lady
Victoria first saw Marine while travelling
in Sussex. Their romance began i'm
mediately. The Duke of Portland first
saw the beautiful winifred Dallas
Yorke on a railroad platform In Scot
land. their marriage following. Now the
Duchess is one of the most popular
women in the peerage.
Great hopes were cherished that the
daughter of the house of Portland
would make a brilliant match. She is
twenty-three years old; she made her
bow to society four years ago, but she
has repelled all suitors.

St. Petersburg. Nov. silt was not until
nineteen days after President Wilson
signed the new tariff that the Russian
press published its first comment This
appears in the Novoye Vremya and il
taken as true doctrine by the Russian bu-
reaucratic and reactionary world.
The Novoye Vremya tells its readers
that ii Is New York State that decides
who will be President of the United

York City who decide the vote of New
York State II recalls the ''scandalous
unanimity with which Congress abrogated
the treaty with Russia on the motion Of
''Sulzer. the recently convicted perjurer.
whose swindling procedure has been made
notorious throughout the world"
The New York Jews who made this
false-hearted perturer Governor of the
most important of the American States
are the same people who forced the rup-
ture in the long friendship of Russia and
the United States. These Jews have sue
ceeded now in poisoning the working OF
the new tariff. Their provision that an
extra per cent duty be levied on goods
from countries that have no commercial
treaty with the United States is aimed at
Russia. 1t is part Of their plan to force
Russia to make concessions to Jews by
attacking her growing commercial ma
rine."

London, Nov. Shelters from Ma
drid received in Eondon indicate that
the Princess Arthur Of Connaught is
vastly changed Always a timid, en-
barassed girl, she has come OUT won
derfuIIy since her marriage.
Since she has been staying with her
cousin, the Queen OF Spain, she has been
transformed into a smart merry woman
of the world, smoking cigarettes and
dancing the tango. This metamorphosis
from a quite maiden amazes London So
ciety, which predicts that the wealthy
bride will shine radiantly.
Princess Arthur's mother was dubbed
Her Royal Highness." and this quality
the daughter inherited to a marked de-
gree. As a girl she would literally turn
deathly white and shiver from nervous
ness If addressed.
The Queen OF Spain is remarkably
tactful and amusing and doubtless has
done much to work the change. Her
brother, Prince Alexander of Batten-
berg, also is a, member OF the royal
house party and he is a fun-Ioving young
man Princess Arthur, now removed
from the dull scenes of domestic Eng
lish life into the gay Spanish court, will
lead a different life as a wife. Her
looks are said to have improved vastly

MUCH SPITE MONEY
COMES TO MILITANTS
Wives Of Aggrieved Politicians Have
Given to "cause" to Embarass
Government.
Cable 10 The Washineton Herald.

Special CAbe to The Wsshington Herald.
London. Nov. s.-Contrary to the gen.
eral impression. there Is no appreciable
decline in the funds of the Woman's Po-
litical and Social Union, Mrs. Pankhurst's
militant organization. Contributions still
fiow into the war chest at the rate Of
between 81, 500 and 200 per week.
The contributors IN question are Lib
eral peeress and the wives Of at least
four men who once played big parts in
politics on the Radical side. It Is frankly
realized by the militants that the lavish
contributions are not called forth by any
overwhelming devotion to the cause.
They have their origin frankly in a desire
to make trouble for the government be-
cause the ministers have quarreled with or
slighted the husbands Of the ladies who
contribute.
That this explanation OF the lavish con-
tributions Is the true one Is evidenced by
the fact that in each case rot q cent was
contributed from these sources until the
quarrel with the government had taken
place. while in one case the supplies
ceased as soon as the aggrieved male
Radical had made peace with his party.

Sutton, Surrey, England. Nov. SAN In
vention that might prove useful In the
makeup of the new American issue OF
bills and banknotes has lately been
brought to a high state OF perfection by
a Sutton engineer, Alfred E. Bawtree.
Mr. Bawtree's device is a machine
which will so cut the edge Of banknote
as to make il veritable phonograph
record, capable OF talking and stating its
denomination.
Put as simply as possible, the method
employed in making the talking bank
note" which Mr.. Bawtree says will defy
the Vaccinations OF the counterfeiter, is
this: The sound form of two syllables.
like dollar" vffty," hundred" is first
photographed by an ingenious process
upon a film, making a jagged line Of
about the length Of a banknote.
BY a photo-mechanical process this
jagged line, which Is really a little record
of the words spoken, is cut on a zinc
plate, and from this mould a steel cut
ting knife of the required shape and de-
sign is obtained.
With this knife the edges OF bills and
notes may be cut, and each serrated edge
Is reproduction of the sound form re-
Quired.
When the bills so treated are passed
through the specially designed phono-
graphic reproducer, which Is a part of the
invention. they can be heard crying their
values.
Mr., Bawtree saws: with this machine
people can safeguard themselves against
receiving forged notes. 1t would be prac-
tically impossible for a forger to oimitate
the serrated edge of note which

The crusade against the dangerous

Conductors of tram cars, &c, must
first of all look at the hats of women pas

Then a bright idea struck her. She

out a small potato. With a happy smile
she put it on the dangerous hatpin as a
protector. The conductor was satisfied -
