next weeks elections.
Bordn. In Tight Place.
There is, of course. a great deal OF
domestic politics behind the whole ques-
tion. so far as the attitude of the Do
minican government. There is little
doubt that last summer. when pressed
by the revolution, the Dominican govern
ment welcomed the good Offices Of the
United States. and made no objections
to the assurances of Minister Sullivan
that IL both factions would cease fight
ing the United States would attempt to
see that fair and free elections were
held this winter. The result was. of
course. the restoration of peace. and the
retention Of its seat by the Bordas gov
ernment
There is no question about the unpopu-
larity Of the Bordas government, nor
the likelihood OF its defeat in a truly
popular election The opposition, how
ever, has 1t in a tight place on the
present issue. for. II the government
welcomes the American observers they
can accuse the Bordas government of
impairing the sovereignty Of the repub-

the accusation of planning such corrupt
methods in conducting the elections as
will not bear inspection.

Tennessee Scion Says Meat Interests
Make State Would Put \
Gambler" Out.

The Chicago beef packers and the
Warehouse Mems Association were held
mainly responsible for the high price OF
food products through a monopoly of
cold storage facilities and were severely
criticised In the House yesterday by
Representative Mcclellan. Of Tennessee.
1T Is monstrous." he declared, that
country ike ours believing in fair
play and that the consumer should not
be yictimized by gamblers like Mr.. wetz,
the egg king. and the packing companies.
should fail to put this belief into law"
Mr.. McKellar spoke in support Of his
bill, limiting cold storage periods and
providing heavy penalties for combina-
tions fixing prices Of food products.
II do not think" admitted McKellar,
that any one measure will correct the
evil system which now confronts US.
States have cold storage limitation laws.
but they do no- seem to be effective.
1t is my opinion that the cold storage
people have been able so far to write
many Of the State laws"
Laws Are Not Observed.
Mr.. McKellar said the cold storage
business has grown until the value Of
food stuffs now going annually in cold
storage amounts to approximately three
billions of dollars.
Inc real uOuDie on tne QueSllOn OF
health is that greedy spectators have
been in control OF cold storage business"
continued Mr.. McKellar. "None Of the
laws for nutritious and sanitary cold
storage are observed by the cold storage
men"
Mr.. McKellar gave a list Of the prin-
cipal food products going into cold stor-
age. Meats led with a value of 81 .500,-
10000 and poultry, s45.0ooOO0 The value
Of eggs was s21,00o,0oo
Big Penalties Provided.
"The object of my bill is to aid both
the producer and the consumer to limit
the middleman to a reasonable profit and
to put the speculator and gambler out of
business" concluded McKellar. 'In every
section OF the country, the greatest COM
petition to the ordinary commission mer-
chant comes from the SPECTATORS and
the meat combine Swift. Armour, Nor
ris, and all the meat packers ran the
price of eggs higher than ever before,
and their holding and persistence in
keeping the price up has had much TO
do with the present stringency In the
market"
The bill provides that food products not
complying with its provisions shall be
viduals adulterating or misbranding shall
be subject to fines Of 500 to 5000 or i'm
prisonment from six months to ten years
Agreements for storage terms and buying
or selling prices is made punishable by
fines of s1,0oo to 10000 and Imprisonment
from one to ten years

GOVERNMENT SAYS MEXICAN
SITUATION IS FAVORABLE"
MEN AND WOMEN STILL FLEE

''The situation in Mexico is very favor
able to an early settlement" according
to the statement of one of the Cabinet
officials yesterday. 1t is explained that
the renewal Of optimism on the part Of
the administration is due to the constant
repetition of the statement that the rebels
will soon be in position to make an attack
on Mexico City. They believe the whole
trouble will be settled by a decisive bat
tie near the Mexican capital
In that event no matter whether
Huerta or other generals retire to con-
tinue the fight in the interior. the party
in control at Mexico City viii be recog-
nized as the new de facto government.
Secretary Daniels said yesterday that
there was no new activity on the part
Of the navy, and the War Department Is
resting on the concentration of cavalry
1t has made at the little town of ojinaga,
at which point the federals retreating
before Gen. Villa are expected to enter
the United States territory. The federals
will be disarmed and will not be allowed
to recross the border to Join the federal
army.
Residents Losing Faith.
The State Department declares it has
no information regarding the statement
by Huerta that he will safeguard foreign
ers in Mexico City. The officials, how
ever, who are looking at the motives of
this statement think that Huerta antici-
pates the arrival of the combined rebel
army, and is trying to give assurances
to foreign governments and their colonies
of protection from riots in the city.
Reports continue to come into the
State Department of the fight of men
and women out of Mexico. 1t appears
that both foreigners and Americans
have no faith even in the territory con-
trolled by the Carranzaists The dis
patches show that the refugees are COM
ing now from Frontera, in the southern
part of Mexico. Eight women who were
iH the sacked city, Victoria, have left
there for Brownsville, and every train
to Laredo brings in "a few Americans"
The trainmaster of the Monterey
division of the National Mexican Rail-
way has been deported by the Mexico
authorities of Huerta at Laredo and
ordered mot to return to Mexico
The State Department, in one Of its
explanations, says:
mo reason was assigned for the
action except orders from headQuarters" /"
The same process was applied a few
days ago to ]. II. Lussellman, the bridge
supervisor Of the Monterey division at
