THE SITUATION IN MEXICO

Mexico City, Nov. 3.-The returns
from the general election are coming
in so slowly that it will probably be
two more weeks before the new con-
gress can meet. The fact that the

of Huerta's relatives and numerous
of his closest adherents makes it as.
sured that the provisional president
will dominate that body.

posed president of Mexico, says he

from Pres. Wilson. Late reports from
Mexico indicate that Intervention
would be a much easier task today
than a month ago, as Huerta's sol

More Startling Testimony at Insane
 Hospital investigation.

Worcester, Mass, Nov. 3-Stories of alleged cruelty to patients formed a large part of the testimony offered this afternoon at the resumption of the investigation of Worcester State Hos pitad by the state board of insanity.
 Mrs. Anna Cartwright, 101 Dale street, Roxbury, ws put on unexpect- edly as a, witness and testified that in June she visited her sister, Emma J Mclaughlin, in the hospital and found her suffering from burns on the arms and legs which hospital attendants said were from sunburn, although in the opinion of Mrs. Cartwright they were from some other cause. Mrs. Cartwright thought, she said, the burns looked as though they had been caused by scaIding. The so-called wet pack was involved in a long discussion of this phase of the case.
 Max B. Frankil, in addition to offer ing testimony relating to alleged cruel treatment, said he would add that 95 percent of the male attendants at the Worcester State hospital drink or are habitual drunkards.
 Alma Foster testified that she saw Rose PomDogrand dragged by the heels. The witness accused Regina Rawchuk of doing the dragging and mentioned Edith Roberts in connection with face skipping.
 Miss Foster and Amelia Stuart al- legged that Rose Acosta is a privileged patient, though suic1 3al, and boasts that she will have nurses discharged if their actions don't please her. It was further contended by these wit nesses that the Acosta woman Is given tea three or four times & week, has an oil st0Te in her room and boasts of her alleged pull with Ernest V. Scribner, superintendent.
 Witnesses alleged a lack Of table linen and said that sheets, used on beds where diseased patients CT untidy patients sleep. have been used for table cloths after being returned from the laundry Miss Bessie Takanokf whose petition started the ihVestiga- ton, testified to this among other things.
 The hearing will be continued We'd hesday forenoon at Il o'clock
