clouds between the United Stato3 and
the Mexican federals were di5sipGted
today when it was officially announc-
ed here that Huerta had decided af-
ter all, not to attempt a blockade
OF Tampico for fear of disruptng the
mediation at Niagara Falls. Spanish
Ambassador Riano formally notified
Secretary Bryan of MeXico's decision.
Huerta's precise reason for backing
down is unknown here, although it
is broadly intimated that the media
tors influence did it. One thing is
plain, namely, that President Wilson
was determined that Tampico be an
open port to all the world, and that
Mayo's warships were in readiness to
enforce this policy
Riano said that the Mexican gun
boats, which were due at Tampico
today, had been ordered to turn
around and return to Puerto Mexico
Many diplomats here commented
asserting that Huertas backdown is
evidence of his sincerity not only now
but throughout the mediation.
Many officials here assert that the
resembling of the blockade means
that Carranza will be received into
the mediation conference, although
they don't know the exact terms Of
his admission. There are persistent
rumors here that Huerta was assured
that the United States would divert
the Antilla to some other port or hold
her munitions pending legislation.

DOESN' 7 Think
MUCH OF John D.
SAYS THAT HE HEADS SYSTEM
THAT is A CURSE TO MANKIND.
CONDEMNS IN STRONG TERMS.

Rev. II. II. Hulten, who is conduct
ing revival at the Broadway Baptist
church in this city has awakened a
great interest in the city, he is a very
logical speaker, broad minded and
sincere, and the audiences are grow.
ing larger as the days pass. Yesterday
he took occasion to say some pretty
pointed things about one Baptist broth
er who, as every one knows, is consid-
cred the richest man in the world.
The occasion was brought about by
a letter addressed to DR.. Hulten ask
ing him his unbiased opinion of Jno.
D. Rockefeller, and in reply DR.. HUI
ten left no one in doubt as to what
his personal opinion of the great John
D was, and incidentally he gave some
wholesome advice to the little fellows
who are nursing small holdings in the
Healdton oil fields. Referring to the
original question, DR.. Hulten said:
"He is the head of a system that is
curse to all mankind"
"The statement that supply and de-
mand fixes the price of oil is an in
famous lie" declared DR.. Hulten, "it
is the system that does it" He advised
all those who have holdings in the
Healdton oil field to sell whenever
they are offered a good price, because
the present depreciation in the field
is kink being put in it by the sys-
TEN after the field has been proven
and defined" DR.. Hulten condemned
Rockefeller in strong terms for the
coal strike conditions in Colorado. He
said he knows of a dozen of the best
men in the Baptist ministry who re-
fused absolutely to take the pastorate
of Rockefeller's Baptist church in
New York.

GOING TO MAKE

FARMERS INSTITUTE is GOING

VOTED UPON.

r. l.. Scott, state agent, in charge

county, and c. c. Nelm, president o.

tute, are going before the county elec-
tion board and ask that the question
Of authorizing the board of county
commissioners to make an extra levy
for county fair purposes be submit
ted to the people at the coming pri-
mary election, and that the question
be placed on the ticket
Under the law, the county commits
sioners, with the consent of the peo-
pie at a general election, can au-
thorize a levy of not to exceed one
half of one mill for county fair pur-
poses, and with this money conduct
an annual fair free of cost to the
people of the county. At the present
valuation this levy of one-half mill
would not have to be made for over
two years as that would raise suf-
ticient revenue to place the fair
grounds in fine condition and erect all
necessary buildings. After this IS
done, one-eighth of one mill would be

payer of the county on half.m;ll
levy would not amount to as much
as one admission to the fair grounds
would cost under ordinary circum-
stances, and it is believed that as
soon as the people generally under
stand this question there will be no
trouble in voting the levy. By this
means the fair is absolutely free TO
every citizen who desires to enter
and substantial cash premiums given
ir every department. The currpu-
expense of the County Fair assoc'a

There is no chance for a county
fair along these lines this season.
but if the levy is authorized another
year the first annual fair of the Car

cumstance'.

music lovers of Arkansas has been verified, and they are now willing to stake even more for the 1915 festival. Instead of only one star, as in the past two festivals, the promoters expect next year to have one of the greatest of singers for each per- formance, and to make the fes- tival state wide proposition. Many choral societies were rep resented at the 1914 festival, but many more are expected for the next one.
