Must Not Publish Prices

Chicago, July 17.-An injunction re-
strairing the Chicago Butter and Egg
h'ard from publishing prices was

Washington, July 17.-Secretary
William Jennings Bryan, in a formal
statement issued last night, came out
for woman suffrage. He declared
that he would ask no political right
for himself that he was not willing
to grant his wife, and announced his
intention to support the proposed
state constitutional amendment ex-
tending free franchise to women to
be voted upon in Nebraska next No
yember.
Woman, Mr.. Bryan said, has proved
herself equal to every responsibility
imposed upon her and would not fail
socially in the emergency. Above all
other arguments in favor of giving
her the ballot he placed the right of
the mother to vote in the molding
of the environment of her children.
"The mother" the secretary said,
"can justly claim the right to employ
every weapon which can be made ef-
fective for the protection of those
whose interests she guarantees and
the ballot will put within her reach
all the instrumentalities of govern
ment, including the police power"

Urcle SAINT Big Gun

Washington, Gully 1S.-When its
breech-loclAing device has been per-
fected, the great l6.lnch gun, the big
gest piece of ordnance in the world
which has Just been shipped from
SANDY Hook proving grounds will be
practically ready for service in the
Panama canal Notifications. The car
riage for this giant gun is now under
construction at the Watertown, Mass,
arsenal.
1t will be taken back to Sandy Hook
for tests after being mounted and will
not be shipped to Panama before
next spring.
Some idea may be gotten of the
tremendous power of this gun, des-
tined to protect the Pacific entrance
to the Panama canal by the fact that
it is co feet long, weighs 142 tons and
fires a rroicctile about six feet long.
The projectile itself weighs a ton
and is discharged by 663 pounds of
powder. This gun has maximum
range OF from % to % miles. The
elevation permitted by it's carriage
will enable the gun to fire projectile
about II miles across the Pacific
ocean. 1t has sufficient power to
pierce two feet of the best armor
plate at the muzzle. At II miles the
gun is calculated to pierce 12-inch
armorplate or any side armor afloat.

THEY HAVE QUIT FIGHTING
Mexican Factions Have Practically
Agreed on Armistice

Washington, July 1S.-Although
there has been no formal agreement
as yet between the opposing factions
in Mexico, an armistice is practically
in effect throughout the republic.
Francisco Carbajal, successor in the
presidency to Huerta, has decided to
have federal troops evacuate all ports
where constitutionalist forces are con.
centrated and avoid further trouble.
General Carranza's forces are moving
southwark merely to be in a position
to maintain order in the territory i'm.
mediately surrounding the federal
capital. This information was receiv-
ed today from various points in Mex
leo. Until the commission appointed
by Carbajal reaches General Carran-
"a, which is expected to be Monday
or Tuesday, no definite developments
relative to a further change of gov
ernment at Mexico City are looked
for.
Reports from Vera Cruz, which said
the Zapatista forces were close
enough to Mexico City to occupy it
if they desired were borne out by
official advices here. No move by
Zarata is expected except as it may
be sanctioned by General Carranza.
Information reached here today
that the constitutionalists were pre-
pairing a program of reforms which it

Would Avert Car Shortage

Washington, July 20.-Investiga.
tions by the department of agricul-.
ture's Office of markets indicate that
shippers and carriers are cooperating
more closely this year to avert car
shortage in the movement of the coun.
trys 930,000,000 bushels estimated
wheat yield.
While it would take the $4,000 cars
to move the entire estimated produc-
ton, only about So per cent of the
crop usually is shipped out of the
country where it is grown. On that
basis it would require approximately
303,920 cars to carry this seasons
shipment.
1t is the concensus of opinion that
the increase in car supply does not
keep pace from year to year with in.
creasing need for cars. The depart
ment says that with the indications
this year for heavy crop of corn
and oats, the movement of those COM
modities will still further complicate

HUERTA FINALLY QUITS
New Mexican President May Bring
Settlement Of Trouble

Settlement Of Trouble
Mexico City, July 15.-General Vic.
toriano Huerta resigned from the pro.
visional presidency of the Mexican re.
public this evening, and his resigna.
tion was accepted by the senate and
chamber of deputies by vote of 121
to II. Francisco Carbajal was then
appointed president and took the oath
of office at the joint session of dep.
uties and senators.
General Huerta and General Blan.
quet left the city tonight. They board.
ed train on the Merican railway a
few miles beyond the city. It is
thought they are going to Puerto Mer-
leo.
Before his departure, Huerta went
to the national palace to pay his re-.
spects to President Carbajal. Huer.
ta's popularity apparently increased
greatly after his resignation, as Mex
leans now look upon him as good
loser.
Washington, July 15.-News of Gen.
eral Huerta's resignation as provision
al president of Mexico was hailed by
official Washington tonight as the
first practical step toward a quick so.
luton of the Mexican problem.
Huerta's resignation marks the cul-
mination of more than years active
effort on the part of the United States
government to force his resignation.
John Lind was sent to Mexico last
summer in an effort to bring about
the withdrawal of Huerta. President
Wilson later went to congress and re-
vealed the terms on which Huerta
had practically been asked to retire
from office. An embargo on arms was
placed on both Mexican factions, and
the Washington government then be-
gan its policy of cutting off financial
aid for the Huerta government, not
only from the United States but also
from Europe. Huerta's resources
slowly diminished under the pressure
of the United States. The constitu.
tionalists, aided by the moral support
Of the American government, pushed
their military campaign to within
striking distance of the capital. Rea.
lizing that military conquest of Mex
leo City by the constitutionalists was
inevitable, General Huerta finally
yielded to the persuasion of the hun.
dreds of influential Mexicans who
prayed that further bloodshed and
disturbance at Mexico City be avoid.
