BEEF PRICES BREAK RECORD
Highest Ever Known for Month Of
July.

Kansas City, July 1S.-Thus far
this year 10000 fewer cattle have
been marketed in Kansas City than
in the same period in 1913, the re-
ceipts being the smallest of any SIM
liar period in 20 years. The decrease
is attributed to the drouth in the
Southwest last summer.
Prices are the highest ever known
for this month. The demand now,
cattlemen and meat packers say,
must be supplied mostly from grass
fed cattle. Another crop of prime
corn-fed beeves cannot be made, they
say, until the corn crop of 1914 is
available, probably not sooner thar
the middle of November.
If August prices for corn-fattet
steers are as much higher than the
July level as they were in 1912, neXt
month will see prime beeves bring
ing S11 a hundred pounds in Kansa:
City. Bceves of those mentioned
sold here yesterday at S9.S5 4. -

Y. NJ. 7. BOARD NAMED.

Appointments to the board of Wis
itors of the Virginia Military Insti-
tute were announced in Richmond
yesterday afternoon by Governor
Stuart. The honors were distributed
so as to give every section of the
Estate representation on the new
board. The appointments are: Col
onel Francis l.. Smith, Alexandria;
General Charles J. Anderson, Rich
mond; Captain Thomas L. Tate, Pu-
laski; Walter H. Taylorl Norfolk,
and Colonel Joseph Button, Apo
mattox. These appointments are for
a term of four years, beginning July
It will be seen that the Governor
has placed the right man in the
proper place in each instance. While
Alexander the Great was careful not
to offend either of the Gymnosophists
by passing compliments on any indi-
vidual, Alexandria naturally feels 6
pride in the reappointment Of Colonel
Francis /. Smith as one of the
visitors. A, student himself at this
West Point of the South when the
civil war broke out, he, after being
a student under the great Stonewal
Jackson, participated in the Battle
of Newmarket in which conflict hi
was seriously wounded. His love fol
martial life was by no means en-
tinguished by the four years war
and few years after his return tt
his home in this city nc was made
captain Of the first military com,
pany organized in Alexandria after
the close of hostilities. Thoroughly
familiar with every thing connected
with the Virginia Military Institute
Colonel Smiths services as visitor
have been valuable during the quar-
ter of Il century or more that he ha'
been q member of the board.

,HUERTA TOOK s6,OOO,o
Provisional President Is liarrassed
by Pressing Creditors-Banks May
Help Him Through.

Mexico City, July 1S.-The Carba-
ial government is facing a crisis. 1t
has no money. It's treasury is depict
ed of funds, and salaries of thous-
"a lands Of government employees are
due. The army is unpaid. Dissen-
sion in the ranks of both the civilian
employees and the military over the
probable nonpayment of salaries is
causing the new administration pro-
tracted anxiety.
The chances are that salaries will
be unpaid for some time yet, as the
treasury is empty. The salaries OF
practically all government men are
due next Monday.
President Carbajaers associates to-
day frankly admitted that the exc
cutive has found himself in financial
straits, and is facing the gravcst of
situations.
1t is possible that the banks VIII
come to his rescue. Carbajals only
hope rests on this.
Huerta took with him when he fled
the country, more than $G,OOO,0OO'
No one believes, however, that the
former dictator looted the treasury.
The finances of the republic have
been low for years When Diaz left
the country, there was but little
money in treasury, Madero, when
he became the executive, found even
less, and friends of Huerta declare
that there was scarcely any coin to
Lhe credit OF tine government when
the latter assumed control.
President Carbajal expected to find
the treasury depleted, following the
abdication of General Huerta, but he
believed he would at least find funds
with which to meet the expenses in
Cured in the government offices. II
the government clerks and many
higher officials are not paid it is
certain that serious discomfort will
follow and the provisional administra-
ton will face trouble at the very
outset.
Puerto Mexico, July lS.-General
Victorianno Huerta will sail from
Puerto Mexico for Jamaica at noon
today on the British cruiser Bristol
Three years ago the old Indian die,
tator escorted Porfrio Diaz to Vera
| Cruz, when the latter fled from the
! country before Francisco Madero, and
! today much the same scenes Of fare
we'll were enacted for him.

ANOTHER HANGFIRE.
Europe Iniccts Issue Into Mexican
Situation.

European creditors Of the Huerta
government have injected an issue
into the Mexican situation which
threatens the present favorable pros
pects for peaceful and satisfactory
transfer of power from the admin
istration Of Carbajal government to
the constitutionalists.
These European creditors demand
that the constitutionalists recognize
the debts of the Huerta government
50 far as European loans are con-
cerned. The plan Of Guadalupe,
which IS the constitutionalists plat
form, declares that the legislative
acts of the Huerta government shall
not be recognized, which repudiates
these debts. Moreover, General Car,
rama himself has repudiated them
The State Department has recog,
nized the necessity Of the constltu'

Carranza government may obtalr

Governor Stuart Would
Clean Out Prisons Of
Able-Bodied Men.
ALEXANDRIA HAS 25
Statute Requires All Convicts to Join
Force Unless They Can Show
Physical Interpretation.

Richmond, July 1S-On the initia-
tive of Governor Stuart, a movement
was launched yesterday, the object
of which is to meet the urgent de-
lmand for more men to work on the
public roads of the State. The plan
is to take from the city and county
iails all the able-bodied men now
imprisoned in idleness, who, under
the law, ought to be laboring on the
highways.
Action was taken at meeting
called by the executive. There were
present State Highways Commission
er George P. Coleman, Superintendent
J. B. Wood, of the State Peniten-
tiary, and Attorney General John
Garland Pollard. Ways and means to
recruit the road forces with men who
would now be at work on the roads if
the law were enforced were discussed.
On June 80 there were being held
in the jails no fewer than 1,05G men.
and it is estimated that at least one
third of these, and probably more,
arc fully able to be on the roads, and
would be Of material advantage to
the State, instead Of q charge on the
taxpayers.
Norfolk city is the worst offender
in this regard. On June 80, 256
men were in Jail there, and it is be-
lieved large percentage of them
are being held there contrary to the
statute. Richmond is next in this re-
apeet, with, 2O2 men. Alexandria had
25; Danville, 81; Newport News, 70;
Petersburg, Al, and Roanoke, 81. 1t
is noted that very few men are be-
ing held in this manner in the county
jails, with the exception Of Norfolk
County, where on June so, 70 men
were being held. Nansecond is u
poor second, with only 20.
Of the 1,056 men, it was agreed
that at least 300, and more likely
500, should be on the roads, under
the statute, which provides that able
bodied men, whether convicted Of fel-
ony or misdemeanor, become imme-
diately a part Of the convict road
force of this State, unless they can
show to the judge satisfactory rea-
sons why they should not be put or
the roads. The burden of proof in
this respect is upon the prisoner.
While it is deemed bad financing 70
take men with very short terms,
such as 30 and in some cases G5 men,
to the roads, because Of the cost Of
transportation and supplies, it was
believed by yesterdays conferees
that the sick and incapacitated and
women and short-term men will not
number anything like two-thirds of
the total.
I In jails the prisoners are burdens
on the State, which must pay for
their keep in idleness. On the roads,
they give their labor. and fare
greatly better in health and spirits
The officials in conference deter.
mined that some steps should be
taken looking to a more complete en-.
forcement Of the law on this subject
while the highway commissioner i:
being overwhelmed with demands fol

atciy, and she is expected to be

when Pearcc drove up in an automo-
bile. The witness said he was we'll
acquainted with Pearce. and knew
him to be Mrs. Lambert's chauffeur.
Pearce invited the men for a ride,
and all jumped into the car.
The party cruised about Washing
ton, testified Nelson, and stopped at
number Of cafes to buy drinks.
Some one suggested that they all
take 4 ride out into the country, and
the party started on the old Chapel
| road.
After they had traversed about
twenty-fvfe miles, said Nelson,
Pearce, who was at the wheel, lost
his way, after driving up several
roads that led them to farm houses.
Pearce surrendered the wheel TO
J Nelson, who says he is an automo-
bile macfinist. Nelson testified that
he soon found his way to main
thoroughfare. and started, as he
thought, back to Washington.
