CARRANzA RULE
LIKELY TO GET
U. S. AID SOON
Delay in Recognition
Would Add to Disorder,
Wilson Holds.
DIPLOMATS OPPOSE
SPEEDY ACTION
Material and Moral Capacity
of First Chiefs Sway
Raises Doubt.

Washington, Oct 7.--Recogni'ion Of
the Cnrranza government in Mexico Is
likely to be accorded by ;he United
States within the next few weeks.
The date submitted by the revolu-
tionary factions Is being considered
now, and next Saturday the conference
Of Pan-American diplomats, presided
over by Secretary Lansing, will be held
as planned three weeks age.
The Secretary and each Of the diplo-
mats will report his opinion on the
material and moral capacity" Of the
factions claiming recognition. 1t gen
orally is believed that the intention Of
the United States with respect TO rec
ignition will be communicated By dip
lomats here TO their governments, so
that action may be taken by other ma
tions at the same time.
Some diplomats are said TO believe
that no faction has met the standard
Of material and moral capacity set
for an established government, and 70
advise a continuance of the policy OF
waiting. Officials of the Washington
government, however, are understood
TO believe that such a course would
only add 70 the conditions Of disorder
in Mexico.
In the last few days the Carranra
authorities have transmitted to the
American government statements v hlch
conform to consular reports showing
that the Carranza forces have achieved
a military supremacy in Mexico, con-
trolling the majority of the states and
the large cities. Therefore, the Wash
ington administration virtu lily is sat
isfed that the requisite material ca
pacity" is possessed by that faction.
As for the requirement Of moral
capacity" General Carranza has trans-
mitted guarantees that the lives and
property of foreigners will be given
protection in accordance with interna-
tional law and treaty obligations, that
amnesty will be granted soon liter
the central government is established
10 all who have fought him except
those guilty OF completely in the plot
that overthrow Madero. or OF civil
crimes. and that religious freedom VIII
be permitted in accordance with the
Mexican laws Of 1857, which declare
that no one shall suffer in his life or
property for his religious worship.

Combating The Black WeeVil.

The black wesvil is the worst
enemy of corn from the time it be-
gins to mature in the field until it
is disposed of by feeding or selling
on the market. This insect lives
during the winter months in Gre
vices in the cribs. barns and other
adjacent buildings. Very few of
them will spend the winter In the
field.
The eggs are deposited in the
buildings as soon as the weather
becomes warm in the spring. The
first generation energies some time
in May. Corn fields located near
the farm buildings are the first TO
become infested, as large numbers
of adult wssvis emigrate during

SLIGHTLY DAMAGED WHEN
 STRUCK ROCK

The steamer Northwestern arrived in port at ' o'clock Sunday evening after an exciting experience in com ing north. On Tuesday morning last at 2:15 o'clock she struck a rock of Potters Buoy reef, on Pinnock Island two miles south of Ketchikan. The vessel struck at half-tide and three hours later listed to port twenty de. grees and at 9:35 that morning she proceeded on her way.
 The Northwestern ran into a heavy fog just before a. m., and as the density of the fog increased Captain J. c. Hunter, who was on the bridge with Pilot Lindstrom, stopped the en- zines. The fog prevented the view of the lights on shore. As the vessel drifted, Captain Hunter sighted the land of Pinnock Island, about 600 feet straight ahead. The engines were re. versed. with the result the big vesssl backed onto the rock of Potter's Buoy Reef, at the hour stated.
 At a. m.. the steamship Dolphin, of the same line, passed to the star. board. The Northwestern, it had been discovered meanwhile, was in no danger from the contact and the Dolphin proceeded to Ketchikan.
 A diver made an examination of the Northwestern at Ketchikan and found that her keel was slightly damaged but otherwise she was unhurt. The Cordova passengers aboard the Northwestern were Mrs. A. Fields, S. T. Brightwell, Mrs. c. L. Byers Geo. F. White, J. Whalen, Eliz lief ferman, Mrs. Eva Hinckley. Hary Warren, c. J. Difference, H. G. Bal lard.
