views on the proposition for the re-
peal Of the free tolls provision of the
Panama Canal act
Mr. Knox is familiar with all the

Sister Here

returns At Once TO mexico

Commander Louis Mccoy Mutton, Of
the battleship Montana, which
brought the American dead from Vera
Cruz to New York, is a brother Of
Mrs. John B. Hoffman, of the Marion
apartments. Eleventh and Delaware
avenue. Captain Mutton will prob
ably visit his sister here within
short time Inless he is ordered at
once to return 10 Mexican waters.
Three of the American dead are to
be taken to Boston by the Montana
and Captain Mutton will then await
orders.
Mrs. Hoffman las had many inter
estLg letters rom her rrjs1er re-
garding the agIting in Mexico and
the conditions that exist there, but
she refused to give any part Of them
for publication, saying that they
were personal and some OF the in
formation might not be intended for
tic public.
That the movement Of the American
fleet was a quick one and neither Off
GERS nor men know what their orders
would be until the last step was taken
BY Huerta, is demonstrated by the fact
that Captain Mutton, in command OF
the Montana, was steaming in mid d-ocean
tor Old Point Comfort. when he received
orders to 60 to Vera Cruz with all pos
sible speed. Captain Mutton arrived
there two days after the first shot had
been fired and found the city occupied
by American marines. The Montana
had been stationed in Cuba and only a
few hours before had been ordered to
Old Point Comfort. The message to
turn back and proceed to Vera Cruz
came BY wireless.
Captain Mutton has been IN command
OF the Montana only short time. Last
winter while commanding the Nash
willie he quelled a rebellion in Hayti. He
was transferred early last spring to the
Montana and since that time has been
in or near Mexican waters.
Captain Mutton is a native 81 Win
chester. Va lie enlisted in the navy
when 16 years old and has now served
% wears. He took part in the Spanish
American war, the Boxer REBELLION, the
rebellion in Hayti, and has done ser
vice in a number of other places where
it was necessary to send American bat
tleships.

One of the greatest outrages in
Mexico before the Americans landed
was the condition Of the political
prisoners in the San Juan de Ulua
prison, Vera Cruz. Hundreds of these
unfortunates were confined in the
damp, foul, disease breeding dun
geons of the old fort, without light,
little air and not much to eat. The
first thing the Americans did when
the city was captured was to free
these prisoners and clean up the
prison. Some Of the unfortunates

tered with your face on the eve of some
important social event when you want

will quickly transform IL into one of
youthful freshness.
Just get an ounce of powdered saxo-
lite at your druggists, mix this with
about a half pint of witch hazel, and
battle your face in the solution for two
or three minutes. Immediately after
you feel "firming up of the skin and
