MEXICAN SITUATION is CLOSED
INCIDENT, SECRETARY OF
STATE DECLARES.
HOPES FOR NEW ERA OF PEACE
Other Officials Not oVerlmpressed
With Outward Manifestations OF
Harmony, as Villa Position Is
Far From Being Known.

Washington, ID. C.-The Mexican
situation is a closed incident, in the
view of Secretary Of State Bryan.
In discussing the fact Of the entry
OF Gen, Carranza into the City of Mex
leo. Secretary Bryan showed great
citation over the turn of events in
Mexico. and seemed to take pleasure
In drawing a contrast between the
fact that Carranza was bedecked with
flowers by the people Of the capital
and the grim prophecies that had been
made regarding the anarchy which
would result IL the constitutionalists
got to the capital.
You can quote me as saying that
watchful waiting wins in Mexico"
said the secretary. The peaceful
transfer OF authority has taken place
and we are hoping for an era of peace.
progress and prosperity"
But the office of Bryan was the
only official quarter in which full i'm
dorsement was obtainable Of his al
lucrative resume of the Mexican stu
alton, nor could anyone be found who
would agree that Mexico is now to be
regarded as a closed incident.
Bryan has been over-impressed with
the outward manifestations OF peace
and harmony in Mexico, overlooking
the volatile characteristics of the Mex.
lean people, their passionate devotion
TO the winner of the moment and tina
fact that the constitutionalsts have
not yet even attempted either to solve
the many very difficult problems con-
fronting them, nor the more compli-
Gated matter OF the division of the
spoils.
AS matter Of fact, Francisco villa
is giving administration officials as
much real concern right now as at any
time In the Mexican situation. The
fear OF what villa may do, combined
with the belief that Carranza has
proved himself to be more of a jeal-
Gus, obstinate old man than a great
statesman with broad view OF
things, led most officials here to re-
gard the Mexican situation now as in
a very delicate state.
Carranza has been deluged with ad-
vice from Washington, on behalf of
the administration. yet the fact re-
mains that he has not yet done a sin
gle thing of Importance that tho
United States has asked him to do.

HEAD OF CLOTHING COMPANY
SAYS OFFICIALS FAILED TO CO.
OPERATE WITH HIM.
PRICE OF LABOR WAS RAISED
The 1000 Prisoners Employed by This
Concern May Be Idle After Dec.
81, at a Loss Of $4,000
Month, for Another Year.
Jefferson City.

James A. Houchin, president of the
gest employer OF convict labor in the
state, abrogated his contract with the
state because. he said, the officials of
the penitentiary failed or refused to
cooperate for the successful opera
ton of the business.
Houchin employed 1000 convicts,
which is more than all the other con-
tractors combined employ. He paid
into the state treasury approximately
$4,000 per month.
The loss of the Houchin contract
probably will cost the state $250,000
or more, because it is not probable
that any concern will undertake to
conduct the business for the one year
remaining of the original agreement.
Personal relations between Houchin
and Warden d. c. McClung have been
strained, but the prison board did not
believe this would interfere with the
Houchin contract. The contract,
which was for two years, would ex-
pire Dec. 81, 1915. II may be repudi-
ated by either party on three months
notice.
Shortly after signing the new con-
tract, which raised the price of labor
from 20 to rs cents per man for a
days work, Houchin asked for much
larger allotment of space in the peni-
tertiary, which was refused.
Houchin refused to say in what way
the prison management had refused
to cooperate with him, or whether the
personal feeling between himself and
the warden had anything to do with
the lack of cooperation.

Progressives Shy Many Candidates.

Progressives Shy Many Candidates.
The Republicans made no nomina-
tons for the legislature in 20 counties
and three legislative districts at the
recent state primary. The Democrats
made no nominations in eight coun-
ties and are shy a candidate in the
First legislative district of st. Louis.
The Progressives have no candi-
dates for the legislature in &C coun.
ties of the state and nine legislative
districts. In some of the counties
where votes were cast for a Progress
sive candidate for the legislature it is
apparent that this was the work of
voters writing in the names. In sew
eral counties only one vote was cast
for the Progressive candidate. In a
few counties several candidates re-
ceived one vote each, indicating that
the names had been written on the
ballot by voters. There is serious
question as to whether the writing
in of a name and the casting of a
few votes that way constitutes a valid
nomination.
Fourteen of the 43 Progressives
nominated in st. Louis. Twenty-Five
were nominated in the counties or in
legislative districts of Kansas City.
OF these 20 at least 10 received less
than five votes. Five received but
one vote.
