Proceedings-A Number of
Convictions Expected.

Windsor, Nov. % In an effort to stop
the Illegal selling Of liquor in this town
John Doe proceedings We're instituted by
States Attorney Raymond Trainor
who summoned about 25 persons to a
hearing held before Assistant Judge Milo
$. Buck of Windsor county court yes
terday. Many of them disclosed where
they had been buying liquor illegally,
and it is expected that number of con
yietions at the December term of court
will result from this roundup.
About year ago a thriving business
was done in the Illegal sale OF liquor
here. resulting in the conviction of Will
liam II. Taylor, who afterward served
a term in the house of correction at Rut-
land. When he received his sentence at
Woodstock he told the court that there
We're more than 30 places in Windsor
where one could buy liquor and he did
not like the idea of being the scapegoat
for the whole community. The proceed
ings yesterday are supposed to be the
result of his disclosures.

cratic national committee, after CON
ference yesterday with President Will
son, announced that he believed the Re
publican party would be the chief con
tender with the Democratic party for
the presidency in 1916.
"The recent elections" said Mr.. Nc

by the Democratic or Republican par
ties"

BRYAN is CRITICISED.
By John Hays Hammond on South
American Trade.

Worcester, Mass, Nov. 22.-John Hays
Hammond, mining expert, speaking here
last night at the closing session OF Clark
university conference on Latin America,
declared that he would not invest a cent
in a foreign country as long as VIM. ).
Bryan is secretary of state. He said any
man who would make such an invest
ment is lacking in sense.
"A nation that does not protect its
citizens and investors is unworthy OF
the name of nation" declared MIR.
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
Mr.. Hammond's subject was, "The de-
yelopment of South American Trade =
At the beginning, he said he would re-
frain from discussing Mexico, but during
his speech, following his reference to
Bryan, he commented briefly on Mexico.
He declared, however, that he does not
favor intervention and has opposed it
from the first.
Among other things he said; "As an
argument against protection for some
property, it has been claimed that con-
cessions have been secured dishonesty.

Harvard Ruled the Favorite
at Outset of Great
Encounter
BOTH TEAMS FIT
TO FIGHT HARD
1t Was Expected That Kick
ing Would Feature
To-day .

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 22.-The in
tercollegiate football championship OF
the East lowered over the gridiron OF the
stadium to-day as the Harvard and Yale
elevens lined up for the deciding game
of the season. The Crimson went into
the contest a pronounced favorite in the
general betting, although the hackers OF
the blue did not hesitate to accept the
alluring odds OF ten to seven or ten to
six against their team.
The weather was fine from the spec
tators' standpoint, but the Indian sum
mer air lacked the encouraging snap
which puts life and speed into football
players. Favorable reports from both
camps were received this morning.
1t is many years since the teams faced
each other with such well-developed
kicking departments and goals from the
field were expected to feature the con
test through the efforts of Brickley and
Mahan of Harvard and Knowles and
Guernsey of Yale. It was Haryard's
hope to keep Yale from making touch
down as no Blue player has crossed the
Harvard goal line in six years. Harvard
also hoped to break the ten-year tradi-
tion of the Crimsons inability to defeat
Yale in the Stadium and longer one
that Harvard could not win from Yale
two years in succession.

CHARGE NEVER PREFERRED
And Liquor Seized on Road Was Ordered
Returned.

Three barrels OF beer and three boxes
of whiskey, seized on the quarry road
one morning early in the fall, were re-
turned yesterday to the claimant, Au-
relic Villa, OF Berlin street. The goods
fell into the clutches of Deputy Sheriff
A. NJ. Morrison and Chief Sinclair, but
a charge against Villa, who drove the
team, was never preferred.
This morning Patrick 0Kelly appeared
before Judge II. w. Scott in city court
and pleaded guilty to first offense.
The court fined him $5 and costs of $4,
which he arranged to pay. O'Kelly was
arrested on Prospect street last night
by Officer George X. Carle, who found
him in an alleged helpless condition.
Yesterday, Alexander Marshall came
before the Judge and reversed a subse-
quent plea of not guilty and paid fine
Of SIS and S4.56 costs on an intoxication
charge, which the state alleged was his
third offense Marshall was arrested
several days ago by Officer Harry Gam

HIGH-HANDED METHODS
Of Parliamentary Procedure Adopted by
Presiding Officer.

Mexico City, Nov. pa high handed
parliamentary practice in che Chamber
of Deputies yesterday afternoon gave
rise to considerable speculation. The
roll of mem bers was called and it was
quite evident that the number neces-
sary for a quorum was present, but
Colonel Victor Corral, presiding in the
absence of Eduardo Tamariz, the speak
er, who was said to be i'll, looked the
deputies straight in the eye and de-
clared there was no quorum. Not a
deputy protested, and the chamber stood
adjourned until to-day.
1t was suggested that this action
might be part of a plan to bring about
the death of Congress and thus split
hairs with the Washington government,
which through John Lind, President
Wilson's personal representative, had in
sisted that this new legislative body
should not come into existence. Under
the law should there be no quorum
three times in succession the House
would be automatically dissolved. One
Mexican, speculating upon the motive
for yesterdays adjournment, suggested
that it was merely a time-saving de-
vice, adding, "time for Huerta to-day
is fine spun gold"
IL has become known that Manuel
Cara Aldape, prior to his expulsion
from the cabinet, submitted for the con-
sideration of the United States a prop
osition signed by President Huerta to
the effect that Congress should meet
merely for the transaction of three or
four measures, namely, ratification of
the decree of Oct. IL, dissolving Con-
gress, declaring the elections of presi-
dent and vice-president null and calling
for new elections, and because there
might arise the question as to the legal
ity of the new chamber, and Senate,
calling an election for deputies and SEN
ators as well. It was understood that
after these measures had been acted
upon the new Congress would adjourn
and the nation again would await the
results of elections.
For this reason it is not believed that
the no quorum rule will be carried out
indefinitely and that il was used yes
terday merely as a matter Of sparring
for time.

threatened reprisals against Texas if
