and bounds-and whether or not the
true reason for the rise in price is
good old supply and demand" as so
ghbly is set forth by the oil barons
themselves, the ultimate result is the
same, i. e., the automobile owner must
bear the burden.
That such conditions could not be
! allowed to endure long has been evil
dent, for no man will stand idly by
with folded hands when there is the
ghost Of chance of amelioting af-
fairs. But the amelioration naturally
will require the expenditure of much
money and the devotion of much time
to be effected. Within the past few
weeks, the British Society of Motor
Manufacturers and Traders has Of
fered prize of 100000 for a fuel
which may be used instead of "pe-
troll as gasoline is styled abroad.
For some time, foreign motorists have
used benzol, which is a coal tar de-
rivative, as substitute, but realizs-
ton of its value has resulted in it's
death dealing hail Other shells crash
gasoline. Added to which, it is pro-
durable only in limited quantities as
compared with the supply of gaso-
line.
All of which emphasizes very
strongly the necessity of some sort
of concerted action to relieve the sit
uation, which rapidly is reaching the
state where it is unbearable to mo-
torists, who carry the heavy end OF
the load, and to every one else who
uses internal combustion engines op-
Grating on the lighter distillates of pc
troleum.
At last, however, the international al
Association of Recognized Automobile
Clubs, the membership of which is
composed of representatives from the
most influential automobile clubs
throughout the world, has seen the
light of necessity and has stepped
into the breach by offering to finance
the donation of cash prize of $780,
coo for the best all around fuel other
than "petrol," or gasoline, which viii
satisfactorily take the place of the
petroleum product.
The decision to offer the prize was
made at the last meeting of the as
sociation, which was held last month
in Paris when it was arranged that
each of the big clubs in the organi-
zation, representing France, Great
Britain, America, Germany, Belgium,
Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, Hol-
land, Hungary, Russia, Switzerland
Roumania, and Egypt, should sub
scribe its portion to general fund
which shall constitute the prize. A
special organization committee al.
ready has been named to go ahead
with the work. Baron de Kuylen dc
Nyvelt is chairman and makes his
headquarters at the offices of the In.
ternational Association of Recognized
| Automobile Clubs in Paris.
AS regards the contest itself, tn.
restrictions are very simple: The fue

combustion engines; it must be less

nature that it cannot be "cornered

ODRERED TO THE BORDER

MEXICO CITY, Feb. 24.-The kill
ing of Francisco /. Madero, the de-
posed president, and Suerez has not
affected the people and business con-
tinues. The city is as gay as usual.
Last night the theaters were packed.
Most people accept Huerta's expla-
nation that the men were slain Sat
urday night by guards while being
transferred in an automobile to the
penitentiary, when friends attempted
their rescue.
Most Of the leading citizens admit
they prefer the Huerta dictatorship
to Madero rule.
Madero's relatives have vowed ven
geance, and all are under surveillance
Ambassador Wilson announced to-
day that as far as he can ascertain
Huerta's explanation is correct. The
cabinet has ordered the responsible
persons court martialed.
The autopsy showed two bullets in
the back of Madero's neck and eight
bullets in Suarez' chest.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. "a
Ambassador Wilson telegraphs the
state department and reiterates that
Madero and Suarez were slain while
trying to escape. He denies that there
was conspiracy.
The government will give the men
military funerals.
The city was turbulent last night,
triops patrolling the main streets and
dispensing the crowds. There was no
disorder.
The American and other govern
ments will withhold official recogni-
ton of Huerta as provisional presi.
dent until the responsibility OF Ma
dero's death is fixed, and the offend
ers punished. Non-recognition would
make it difficult for the new regime
10 borrow money.
LONDON, Feb. .24.-Newspapers to-
day almost unanimously declare that
the killing of Madero necessitates
American invention.
MEXICO CITY, Feb. 24.-FeliA
Diaz is deluged with letters, contain
ing congratulations for him on his
coupe.
The bodies of Madero and Suare2
have been transferred to their fami-
lies. Madero's was taken to the home
of his brother Gustavo.

VICTORY FOR ARBITRATION.


Score another victory for arbitra-
ton. The long controversy between
the eastern railroads and their con-
ductors and trainmen has been settled.
An increase of seven per cent in the
pay Of 100000 men was awarded and
the operating expenses OF the railroads
will be increased S6.OOO.O0O a year
dating from oct. 1, 1913.
The settlement was accomplished
under the Newlands amendment 20 the
Erdman act and the award OF the ar
bitration commission is final. There
is no appeal from it. The threatened
strike. which would have paralyzed
the business Of the country for an in
definite period, has been averted and
all parties concerned have received

equitable treatment, though their con-
tentions were not fully met.
II is less important, however that
a strike has been prevented than that
such a precedent as this has been es-
tablished. There were fOrty-one rail-
roads and approximately 100, 600 en-
ployes engaged in the controversy. The
railroads represented that many vary
ing interests and the employees were
divided among a number of classes
Of employment. making the task of
finding a just and equitable basis Of
settlement difficult The success Of
the board OF arbitration, however, is
convincing proof of the efficiency Of
this mode Of equalizing industrial diff
feTences.
Neither the railroads nor the en-
ployes obtained what they contended
for and demanded, but a compromise
solution was reached which is believed
TO be fair to all concerned. The rail-
roads are required 20 meet an addi
tiOnal expense account of 100000
annually. which, divided by forty-one.
the number OF companies involved.
Will not be excessive. The employees
are granted an increase of pay pro-
pOrtionate with the increase of the
cost of living since 1909. All other
demands were refused.
The railroads were sustained in their
rules of operation and the settlement
based purely on a wage considera-
ton. in which the estimate OF the ar
bitration commission was fifty per
cent lower than that OF the employees,
but believed to be ample 10 give them
a good living wage.

IMPoRTATToNs OF MEAT.

The depth Of inadequacy into which
the meat supply of the United States
had fallen under the old tariff law is
illustrated in the statistics furnished
by the bureau Of animal industry.
which show that the importation OF
30. 600 600 pounds during the first
thirty days OF the Underwood tariff
scarcely made a dent in the market.
a million pounds of meat ~ day for
population Of ninety millions is
hardly drop in the bucket. 1t would
give each individual an increase in
the meat supply OF only one-ninetieth
Of a pound less than one good bite,
and it is obvious that importations
must be much greater before any ma
teriaI decrease in price occurs.
The United States is at best on half
rations of meat. The supply must
be practically doubled before the cost
TO the consumer can be reduced TO an
economical basis. Present prices are
almost prohibitive for working people,
the nature Of whose employment re-
quires large quantities OF meat. 1t
has really become luxury for all
but the weather. Glasses.
II is reasonable TO believe that i'm
portations will steadily increase. The
market is an eager and profitable
one and the quality of the meat inn
ported is good. The inspectors re-
ported that out OF the thirty million
pounds imported the first thirty days
under the new tariff only 5000
pounds were condemned.
The meat was shipped from the Ar
gentine, Australia and Canada. The
best came from the Argentine and the
poorest from Canada, and the princi-
pal shipments went TO New York, Bos-
ton, Buffalo. and San Francisco. Later
statistics from the bureau OF animal
industry Will be awaited with interest
and the expectation that If shipments
continue to increase a perceptible eff
feet on the cost Of meat will result.
