SYLVIA'S HUNGER
STRIKE STOPPED

London, Feb 6-Miss Sylvia Pank-
hurst was right when she told the
Bow street magistrate that she would
accept neither" when he offered her a
choice of $40 fine or IA days in jail
Today, some t'unidentified' man
paid Miss SyIvia's fine and she was
released. Presumably the payer of
the fine was the same who in that
way caused the release of Mrs. Cen
eral'' Flora Drummond and Mrs. Des-
pard after they had 1eroica1Iy declfn-
ed to pay fines and had declared a
hunger strike.
Suspicious persons and unsympathe-
tic thought there was some connec-
ton between Miss SyIvfa's declaration
and her prompt release by the seun-
known" But Mrs. Enmeline Pank-
hurst and other militant leaders in
dignantly denied any connivance.

fashionably dressed women witnessed
the game from the boxes.
Hoppe has seldom showed better
form or more confidence than he did
last night. The cushions Were I'M

nings- But once started. he had the
balls rolling perfectly and his position
play was equal to any he has ever
shown. Hoppe did not adhere to any

Huerta's Instructions
in Recent Election Called
for Discreet Removals

NEW YORK. Nov. 22-The fac
smile of printed instructions which
purport to be those issued by General
Huerta in preparation for the recent
presidential election in Mexico has
been received here. A translation of
the document is interesting as show
Ing some of the precautions taken by
General Huerta to keep himself in
power.
The instructions apply particularly
to the state of Puebla and read In
part as follows:
81. If any of the municipal presi-
dents are in league with any of the
revolutionary parties they must be
| removed from office discreetly, so
that there may be entire cooperation
between the municipal presidents and
the jefes politics.
%. 1t is especially advisable that the
men appointed to supervise the poll
ing shall be trustworthy persons who
will unhesitatingly obey any orders
given to them.
''3. If there Is still time orders are
to be given that the booths intended
to receive the votes of eTsons living
on ranches shall not be installed in
the towns or villages corresponding to
the ranches, but in one of the ranches.
SO that the watchers may not attend,
the principal object aimed at being
to omit elections in at least two
thirds of the polling booths In each
district. For this reason not more
than-booths are to be installed In
your district.
the polling booths, which may be
established SO that the absolute ma
jority of votes cast shall give the
following result:
''P e s d e n t-General Vlctoriano
Huerta.
"Vice-President- General Aureliano
Banquet
"5. In spite of the fact that article
81 prescribes that the returns be sent
directly to the Chamber of Deputies
the supervisors must be instructed to
turn them over to the jefe poltico,
who will examine them, and If he
finds that they are in accord with
these instructions he will return them
to the supervisor with instructions
to send them to the Chamber Of
Deputies. If the jefe politico finds
that more than one-third of the
been utilized he will omit the for
warding of sufficient number of re-
turns SO that the Chamber of
Deputies shall receive returns from
more than one-third.
IS. Complete liberty must be
granted to citizens and political
parties in all booths where votes are
to be permitted to be used so that
they may formulate protests of any
description so long as the protests are
against violation of the law by parti-
sans of any of the candidates in the
electoral contest, but in no case must
such protests be allowed to interfere
with the object set forth In part 4
of these instructions.
81. If the examination by the jefes
politico reveals that the returns do
not correspond with these instruc-
lions they will make whatever ar
rangements may be necessary so that
the returns shall correspond entirely
with the said Instructions"

Bryan Foreign Policy Scored
by John Hays Hammond


WORCESTER, Mass, Nov. 22.--
John Hays Hammond. mining expert,
speaking here last night in the clos
ing session of Clark University con-
ference on Latin America, declared
that he would not invest a cent in a
foreign country as long as William J.
Bryan is secretary of state. He said
any man who would make such an
investment is lacking in sense.
"A nation that does not protect its
citizens and investors Is unworthy in
the name of a nation" declared Mr..
Hammond, after saying that honest
workingmen, encouraged to locate in
Mexico. are forced to throw away the
savings of lifetime.
'They are told to get out, flee the
country where their all is located"
said Mr.. Hammond.
