REBELS RECRUIT
 IN CHICAGO
General Christmas, Soldier of For tune, Trying to Enlist Adven-
 turers of Windy City.

CHICAGO, Nov. 22.-General Christmas, 2 soldier of fortune who fought in the Cuban wars and in ma
 ny South American revolutions, is
 in this city recruiting troops for the
 constitutionalists of Mexico, who are
 anxious to secure larger army to
 fight the federal forces.
 Gen. Christmas stated today that
 American mining companies operat-
 ing in the northern Mexican states had already contributed million dol lars to the war chest of the Carran-
 Zites and that more is promised The present plan is to force the Mexican ! government to recognize the northern states of Sinaloa. Chihuahua, Coahu- fla, Nuevo. Leon, Tamaulipas, Sonora.
 Southern California and Durango, as a separate country, and. failing in that, then the fight is to be contin- ued until the constitutionalists secure control of the federal government. Many boys, not out of their teens, have enlisted and the police have kept strict watch to prevent kid
 naping. Parents or adventurous boys have also asked the police for pro- lection, claiming that inducements have been held out to the lads in the way of rapid promotion, plenty of excitement and lots of fighting and that the youngsters are likely to run away to join the rebels.

OXFORD, Eng, Nov. 22.-ouffra- gettes last night burned a local lum- Der yard at this place because the owner had expressed himself as against the granting of the right to vote to women The loss is estimat- ed at $1O0,000 only partially covered by insurance. The owner of the yard and his family barely escaped from their sleeping rooms over the office building in their clothes.
 Revenge came quick when the crowd, which followed the engines to the scene, found the notices about the burning yard telling that the same fate would follow in every case to property owners if they did not fav- or equal suffrage. The men became so enraged that they set out for the headquarters of the suffragettes and wrecked the place, throwing the fur niture into the street, where a bon fire was made and the papers and office fixtures were completely de- stroyed before the police arrived and drove the crowd away.

SEATTLE, Nov. 22--The American Federation of Labor at it's yesterdays session passed resolutions condemn ing the mining corporations operating in Mexican republic and the jingo newspapers which are trying to force the American government into inter- vening in the affairs of the neighbor- ing republic.

 to the dispatch of. English warships to Mexican ports. The Department of State, however, does not dispute the
 fact that much irritation exists be- tween the two governments regard ing Mexico, declaring that up to this time the exchanges between the two governments have taken the form merely of interviews between Sir Ed ward Grey, his Majesty's. minister of foreign affairs, and Walter II. Page, the American ambassador at the Court of St. James. Outwardly these inter- views have been marked by extreme cordiality, but it is believed that there is irritation on the part of both gov
 ernments. The Wilson administra- tion has been hopeful that Great Brit ain would give hearty support to whatever was undertaken by the Un- ited States in the effort to bring or der out of the chaos existing in Mex ico, and the contrary action of the

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 22.-The Prohibitionsts of this state will start immediately to campaign for a dry state from one end to the other. Al ready many counties are dry under the local option plan, especially in the southern sections. The plan of the blue ribbonites is to force the closing of the saloons in San Francis co, San Diego, Sacramento and the other large cities in which the sale of liquor is still allowed.
 The saloonmen and the breweries will spend thousands of dollars to prevent the drys winning and upon the personal liberty plea, will cam, paign the state.
 They also point out that the ex- port trade of the state in fermented wines will be destroyed if the pres ent agitation continues and that the best revenue producer will be wiped out, forcing high taxes upon all prop erty owners.

The case Of 9 boy who writes up side down and backwards. who reads with his book upside down and even sings topsy-turvey, singing high where he ought to sing low, so puzzled the brain and eye specialists of Hunting ton, w. Va, that they have decided to appeal to the experts for help.

 ed before the grand jury investigat- ing the charges made by John A. Hen messy of graft forced from state con tractors by Tammany politicians dur ing the first Sulzer campaign when he was elected governor of New York. McGuire admitted, when examined by District Attorney Whitman, that
 contractors holding contracts for de- livery of asphalt for street paving,
 were forced to give up $5,000 each for the Tammany war chest; that he knew of $25,000 being collected from
 James Stewart, contractor on the
 state barge canal, the collection be- ing made by William J. Corners, the Tammany lieutenant at Buffalo. The list of contributors t the Tammany campaign fund $ said to include all the state contractors and many of the contractors on city work in New 1Ofh Clty.
 Ex-Governor Sulzer is also charged with sharing in the efforts of the po-

BLUEJACKETS ARE LANDED IN MEXICO
 MADER0S FREED BY THE AMERICAN CONSUL

was lying in position so as to watcf the American consulate, an officer of the ship being on duty for that pur- pose both day and night, and blue jackets were landed to back up the demand of the consul that the two
 Maderos be allowed to remain free. The Mexican authorities were very angry at the action of the consul, but were powerless, in the face of the threatening guns of the warships, which were trained upon the fortifi- cations and the landing of the ma
 rines with loaded guns and instruc- tions to obey the orders of the consul. For few moments the tension was
 terrible and single shot meant war
 between the two republics. The Mexican commander of the de-
 tachment of troops pleaded with the consul for the return of the prison CTS, declaring that his own life would
 be forfeited unless he secured them
 
 nate and refused tu give them up. Walking between two files of blue.
 jackets, the Maderos were escorted to
 the American battleship Rhode Island, ard will later be sent to some neu-
 tral port.
 No doubt remains in the minds of
 the Mexicans of Vera Cruz that the
 American administration means busi- ness and that any attack upon Amer
 jeans living in the republic will mean
 the immediate landing of marines at
 all the coast towns and the blockad- ing of the ports with a consequent shortage of provisions
 Much bitterness is shown towards Americans by the Huerta followers of this city. but no overt act has as yet been reported against subjects of the United States.

VERA CRUZ, Mexico, Nov. 22.- The Madero brothers, uncles of the former president of the republic, who were imprisoned by Huerta and whose lives have been in constant danger. were freed yesterday upon the de- mand of Consul General Canada of the United States. They were taken to the consulate later, upon instructions from Huerta, who was furious when informed that the prisoners had been liberated. A file of federal troops then proceeded to the American consulate and demanded the return of the pris- Oners, but the consul general refused to grant the request and signaled to the battleship Rhode Island, which

Nevada Senator Predicts Passage or Alaska Railroad Bill at Next
 Session.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Senator Pittman, of Nevada, in an address de- livered last night before the Mississip- nj Society, predicted that the next ses- sion of congress would pass the Alas ka railroad bill. The senator stated that on general principles he was op- posed to the government ownership of railroads, as it would build up a great government vote which would become dangerous to the welfare of the country, but that conditions in Alaska differed greatly from those in the states, and government built and operated road in Alaska would solve the transportation question of the territory, he stated, and would bring thousands of dollars worth of miner als to the states and the population of the northland would soon run into the millions, with consequent in crease of imports from thee United States of American built machinery, American raised farm products, Amer ican made clothing carried in Amer ican ships, with American officers and crews given more employment.
 The senator said that if the people of the states once became aware of the great undeveloped wealth in min erals of Alaska they would leave no stone unturned to provide for the ex- ploitation of the mines, the opening up of the coal claims and the settling of the agricultural lands of the inter- for

WASHINGTON, Nov 22.-Orders were issued last night to recruit the regular army of the United States to it's full war strength and recruiting officers all over the states were noti- fled to advertise in the papers for more men.
 When the news of the orders for more men became known in diplo- matic circles it caused a furry and was stated that the administration intended to intervene in Mexico and force the establishment of a staple government in the neighboring re- public and the guaranteeing of the lives Of Americans and Europeans who were located in that country.
 President Wilsd however. denied that the order for more troops was made because of the Mexican situa- tion.
 The Ordnance department, in charge of the equipping of the new troops, claim that. 5Q0,0oo additional troops can be equipped in less than thirty days. as the department has worked out through Colonel J. T. Thomp- son a plan of operation for placing in the field the additional soldiers needed in ccse of war with a first class power.
 Col. Thompson pointed out that his "war plan" is based upon condi- tions as they would exist in the event of hostilities. The line of the regu- lar. army would be increased to it's maximum enlisted strength as provid. ed by law; the entire organization of militia would be mustered into service of the United States at full war strength: and the rema'nde would he raised by the enlistment of volunteers.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 22.--It devel- oped here today that the sudden dis patch of English warships to Mexi- can ports by the British government was made at the earnest request of Sir Lionel Garden, the British ann bassador at Mexico City.
 Sir Lionel had wired to his gov ernment that the presence of the Brit ish boats were needed to protect Eng fish people and English property. The United States government immediate ly requested an explanation of the British foreign office and informed them that the American government now had sufficient warships in Mexi- can waters to protect the lives of all foreigners and that they were detelt mined to do so and assured the British government of their intentions to keep enough war vessels and marines in Mexican ports to adequately protect both American and foreign residents.
 LONDON, Nov. 22.-The secretary of foreign affairs has rescinded the order to British warships en route from Bridgetown, Barbados, to Mex ican ports to proceed to the ports of the republic and report to Ambassa- dor Garden, and the vessels have been ordered not to call at any Mexican port. The instructions were sent by wireless.
 It has been officially stated today that no great friction exists between the British government and the Amer ican Department of State regarding the Mexican trouble and that the two governments have the same object in view, viz: the establishment of peace in Mexico.
