OUR TROUBLE WITH MEXICO

The situation in Mexico has reach
ed the acute stage as relates to this
country. Carranza and his army are
paying little attention to the rights
of foreigners, and there are $4,000
Americans in that country Many
people in Mexico City are said to be
starving, hundreds of others sick of
fevers and yet there is no medicine in
the City of Mexico as Carranza has
taken it all for the use or his army
Our country is making strong pro-
tests against Carranza's course and is
making demands that he treat all
foreigners with proper considera-
ton. A number of battleships have
been ordered to Mexico ports and
our marines may take Vera Cruz
again and other cities. We may be
compelled to set up a government of
our own in the battered and shetter-
ed republic. A war with Mexico peo-
pie would mean the uniting OF all
Mexican factions against the United
STATES. War with Mexico is not a
desirable thing but it may be una
voidable. 1t looks as though the adj
ministration had reversed its atti-
tude and from now on will act Nth
resolution and firm hand.

WHAT TO DO WITH THEM

We anticipat some of our readers
will be around before long with a
mild request that we say something
about people permitting their chick
ems to run at large and scratch up
the neighbours gardens. At the pres
ent time the biddies cannot do much
damage. but when the gardenmaking
season of the year arrives then hos
tilities between neighbOrs begin. I'm
kind remarks are INDUCED in but
luckily many of the uncompliment-
airy words never reach the neighbors'
ears else there would be open war.
Keep your own fowls shut up and
there will be no open ruction when
the garden crops are being put in.
You can live at peace and in these
days of wars and conflicts that means
good deal. The man who deliber-
ately turns his flock of fowls out to
forage off the neighbors is not fol-
lowing the golden rule.

DOCTORS SNOT DEAD,
| TRUCK DRIVER SAYS
Denies Villas Report That
American Physicians and
Chauffeurs Were Killed.

DOUGLAS, Ariz., November 5.-The
four Americans. DIR. R. Fl. Thigpen. DR..
| James Miller. J. d. Pylant and A. l..
Wilson, reported yesterday by Gen.
villa as having been killed by fire
of Carranzistas in the battle of Aqua
Prieta, are prisoners at Villaverde, ac-
cording to George Snow, driver of an
automobile truck, who arrived at Naco,
AriZ.. today.
Snow said he saw the four men at
Villaverde last night. but could not
learn the nature of the charges upon
which they were held by the Villa au-
thorities.
According to Villas report yester-
day. the two physicvians and their
chauffeurs, Pyland and Wilson, were
killed by gunfire from Gen. Gales
tween the lines. Villa reported the
four men dead and buried" He de-
clined to say where they were buried
or to consent to the exhumation of
the bodies.
villa is said to be in urgent need of
surgeons to care for his wounded as a
result of the Aqua Prieta attack. The
belief was generally expressed that he
had reported the death of the surgeons
as ruse SO that he. might use them
10 dtleid MS troops without DelHS SUD-
ject to inquiry.
Dr. ThiSpen was chief surgeon of the
Cananea Consolidated Copper Com
pany. DR.. Miller was his assistant.
Company officials today, assuming
merely that Gen. Villa had made his
report through mistake, sent to the
Mexican chief request for the release
of the four men. Villa was preparing
this morning to leave Naco, and did not
Immediately reply
In addition to the report brought by
Snow that he had seen the men alive
at V1llaVerde the report of their death
was contradicted today from other re-
liable sources. Nillaverde is twenty
miles south of Naco.
|. Gen. Funston Confers With Villa,
Gen. Frederick Funston, commanding
the American forces here, went to Naco
yesterday after Villa had. reported to
Maj. Evans of the cavalry force at
Naco that the four Americans had been
killed and buried on the battlefield.
Gen. Funston and Villa conferred at
the line and the Mexican chief told him
a story that varied somewhat from
that given Maj. Evans. To one Villa
said the men had been killed by rifle
men. To the other Villa said a shrap-
mel shell had killed them while they
We're on the battlefield under Red
Cross flag.
Since Villa is an outlaw in the eyes of
Funston could not take any action in
connection with the case. Burial par
ties were hurried out by Gen. Gales
today with orders to burn all bodies on
the Aqua Preta battlefield, to prevent
danger Of pestilence.

Interference With "Constitu-

LONDON, November 5.-The
all-nlght meeting of the Greek
chamber, the new attack of former
Premier Venizelos on the policy
of the government and his criti-
cism OF King Constantine's inter
ference with constitutional liber-
ties of the Greek people, are re-

crisis which, for the time being,
has overshadowed the military
situation in the Balkans. Ac-
cording to latest information from
Athens, the king is expected to
continue the Zaimis cabinet and
dissolve parliament rather than
accept the other alternative of
permitting NJ. Venizelos to return
to power.
King Constantine is said to be

TAN[MANY HOLDS
BALANCE OF POWER

64th Congress.

When the Sixty-fourth Congress as
sembles December 6, the membership

Gratis, 229: republicans, 1876; progress
sives, g.; independent, /; socialist. 1 :;

The democratic majority. over all, on
a strict party division, would be twen-
ty-five. Tammany Hall with it's Brook
lyn allies controls sixteen of these
twenty-five votes, which places the bal
ance of power in the House in the
hands of Tammany.
Once in recent years Tammany ex-
erted a balance of power similarly
held, throwing it's strength to the re-
publicans on question of revision of
the rules, postponing the reV6utfon
which came later in parliamentary
practice in the House

Probably With Administration.

There is no reason to think at this
time, however, that Tammany will use
it's power in any way prejudicial to the
administration or the democratic party
There is at present no political feud
between the White House and Tam
many Hall. although there may be nc
affection going to waste. One would
not take the tie which bound Damon
and Pythias as a simile of the rela-
tionship.
All that Tammany asks is what S
coming to it" in the way of a few de-
layed items of patronage, etc, and this
doubtless will be attended to with neat
ness and dispatch. New York politi-
clans know that Tammany is loath, as
a rule, to interfere in national demo
cratic politics, except in SO far as 1t
touches local affairs. Its wants. ma
tionally speaking, are few, and when
they are met Tammany, according to
it's code of political fair dealing, de
livers the goods" in return.
