huerta'S Final Move Before
New Congress Meets.
ADVANCE IS SWEEPING
Stamp Tax on Checks, Receipts, Con-
tracts and Other Documents of Pub
lie Nature Doubled, While Tobacco,
Alcohol and Petroleum Pay Heavy
Increase.

Mexico City, Nov. 21.-One of the
last acts of Provisional President HUI
erta as dictator before the assembling
of the new congress places a restric-
ton on his powers was an edict max
ing a sweeping increase in the internal
taxes of Mexico.
The stamp tax, which requires a
revenue stamp on checks, receipts,
contracts and all documents of pub
lie nature, was doubled. The tax on
tobacco, alcohol and crude petroleum
was heavily increased.
The marked manner in which Pro
visional President Huerta displayed
his cordiality toward Charge d'affaires
O'Shaughnessy, and the way in which
he applauded the playing of the Star
Spangled Banner" at the reception in
Chapultepec castle, were the subject
of much comment. Although the en-
tire diplomatic corps was present Gen.
eral Huerta did not converse at length
with any of the diplomats except Mr.
O'Shaughnessy, with whom he spoke
privately for a quarter of an hour.
The provisional president, in high
spirits, informed Mr. 'Shaughnessy
of the substance of the message he
was about to deliver to the new con
gress and told him that he would send
a copy to the American embassy in
advance of its delivery.

Springfield, Mass, Nov. 2S.-The
time has come in the opinion Of Sam

counsel for the Pujo committee, in
vestigating the money trust, to res

How this is to be accomplished he
outlined in a speech before the econo-

halt upon further governmental. in

looting of corporations and that the
"slate should be wiped clear. and the
work of reframing and strengthening

surveyor of the port, Nelson Henry,
after the ships manifest was taken.

Blake Claims he Wls Called
lnlo Case Through IA a.
0Dymous Letter

The case Of William McBain, the
young man from Wells county, who
was brought to the penitentiary last
week on the charge Of aborting his
sweetheart, who later became his
wife, has taken another and interest
ing turn.
Upon a petition for new trial same
was granted and he was taken Friday
to Jamestown where he appeared be-
fore Judge Coffey, who ordered that
he be returned to Fessenden, be CIV
en- preliminary hearing, and the
case proceeded with from the begin
ming. 2g /,
This is an exceptional case and Is
enc which is attracting considerable
attention throughout the state.
There is much speculation as to the
result of the case, as 1t is claimed
that much new evidence will be
brought out in the re-hearing.
There seems to be no question but
that Juvenile Officer Blake treated
both McBain and his wife harshly
and is receiving much criticism for
his act. 1t further seems that he was
drawn into the case by an anonymous
letter though 1t is said he did sue
rGeed In securing AaTha ginga a'eviaoaee.
It is claimed upon good authority
that sentiment at Fessenden strongly
rfavors rMcBain though thdrs hold
that there has been change OF SEN
timent.
Some Of the authorities claim that
they are not in favor Of being WELD
ed by sentiment, and that they shall
insist upon the law taking its course.
However. it is not thought that Nc.
Brain will be returned to the peni-
tentiary, as it will be hard to find q
jury under the circumstances which
will convict him.
McBain was taken to Fessenden
Friday, and will in all probability
have his preliminary hearing today
or Monday.
The longer the case goes, the more
complications arise, and the public Is
anxiously awaiting the result.
Taking the case all the way through
it is one which technically might call
for a degree Of punishment, yet Is
surrounded by circumstances which
appeal to the sympathy of the public
in such a strong manner as to make
it very doubtful if.a conviction will
be- secured.I

Of considerable interest in this city
 is the announcement that the Atlantic Light and Power corporation of Vir- ginia will acquire practically all the shares of the United Electric Light and Water Company in this State. The change of ownership will affect power plants in sixteen towns and cit fes of the State.
 The Atlantic Light and Power cor poration has an authorized capital of $1O, GOO, 900 in preferred stock and the same amount in common stock.
 Before the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Co. leased it's properties to the New York, New Haven & Hart foaId RL R., it was operating in addi- tton to it's trolley lines the electric where it. also had a charter for a gas company, but had never developed it; also the Norwalbs, where it ran an electric light business in South Nor plant, and in upper Norwa1k, where it ram both the electric light and gas plants, with extension of electric light to New Canaan and. WiEton; also Wa terfo ury, where it operated the cleo tric light plant, with extension to Nahgatuck; also New Britain, where it operated the electric light plant with extension to adjacent towns.
 These several lighting interests the New Haven road acquired under it's lease of the Connecticut Railway & Haven directors had determined that the business of the road was trans portation and nothing else, it was de- cfded to avail of an offer from the United Electric Light and Water Co. to suo-Iease these lighting properties, and accordingly in October, 1911, slIb-1ease ofN these. properties was made by the New Haven road to the United Electric Light and Water Co. for a period of 994 years.

CONGRESSIONAL STEEL STRIKE
 PROBE LIKELY

Washington, Jan. BOA Congress siona1 probe of the steel workers strike at Rankin may result from an investigation which Representa- tive Stanley of Kentucky has under way.
 The chairman of the former steel trust investigation committee said to- day that he has asked for infor1na- tion regarding the strike, with a. view to possible recall of the probe of the United States steel corporation. Sec retary Frank Morrison, of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, who is in Rankin, is cooperating with Stan ley.
 1.-The trouble at Rankin is just what I expected from disclosures in our in Vestigation,'' said Stanley. We re- oeived overwhelming evidence that the steel industry is a seething indus trial volcano. We developed that the steel corporation runs a black list operates a system of espionage and forces thousands of it's employees into industrial slavery The steel people laughed at this evidence. They pro- duced witnesses and photographs to show how much happfer the men's lives are than they were represented to be-
