No "Back From Elba" for Huerta

DHERB was more than a suspicion that
i the ADMINISTRATORS change OF Mexican
policy was due in some measure at least TO
secret information concerning a prospective
return from Elba by Huerta.
The former Dictator got too close TO his
patrie yesterday so the United States ar
rested him. An ounce OF this sort OF pre-
yention is worth many pounds OF cure.
Huerta loose once more in Mexico. Huerta
victorious, Huerta on his way back 10 the
capital would have made intervention almost
a certainty. for this is the one man who
could never be recognized by the United
States. He is the one man who has been
prescribed by Washington for moral and
other reasons, He can never be President
OF Mexico, nor can any man whom he con-
trolls ever hold that position.
It viii be worth while 10 take elaborate
precautions TO see that this gentleman does
not jump his bail and nit across the border

NO FREIGHT OUT OF GALVESTON
Railways Put Embargo on Ship
ments to Pacific Coast.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. October "a
An embargo against eastbound freight
to the Pacific coast for water shipment
from Galveston. effective Wednesday,
will be maintained, at least until the
middle of next week. it was stated to-
day by officials of the Atchlson, To-
peka and Santa Fe railway.
The embargo was placed in co-opera-
ton with the Southern Pacific. Short
age of bottoms in which to handle ship
ments out of Galveston was said by
Santa Fe officials to have caused the
action.
! few shipments on European con-
tracts and for special markets have
been diverted to rail traffic across the
continent. Higher freight rates have
caused much of the prospective freight
to be held in the west.
Steamship companies some time ago
re-routed their vessels by way of the
Magellan Straits when the Panama
canal was closed. The Luckenbach
Steamship Company continued to
operate vessels to Balboa and Colon.
Panama. Freight has been transferred
along the canal between the Atlantic
and Pacific poindts on the government
railroad.

WOULD REOPEN CASE.
Grain Shippers Claim Injury by Di-
yurce Of Lake Lines From Railroads.

The Chicago Board Of Trade and the
Milwaukee Chamber Of Commerce. rep
resenting grain shippers. Joined yester-
day with the Lehigh Valley railroad In
an effort before the. interstate COM
mercs commission to reopen the whole
question Of divorce of lake lines from
railroad ownership, where competition
would result. The shippers contend
that the matter was a question Of
freight rates for the grain interests
and wanted the divorcing order. effec-
tive December 10. postponed or set
aside. The carriers contend that the
lake lines do not fall within the Pan
anna canal act. The commission took
the case under advisement.
George A. Schroeder, traffic manager
of the Milwaukee Chamber of Com
merce. and J. S. Brown. representing
the Chicago Board of Trade. said grain
freight rates to the east by lake-and-
rail routes had increased since ten Of
the thirty-seven standard line package
steamers had been sold.
Schroeder said that during 1914 Mil
waukee grain shippers saved $4,000
by having alexandria, service instead
of all rail transportation. Brown said
that twenty-six organizations of ship
pers, at a recent conference, decided to
ask that the case be reopened.

asking that Baltimore be considered for
location of the big experiment plant,
and asking for consultation with Bal
timore officials as to the advantages
to be offered.
It was explained by Secretary DAN
iels that when Congress provided
money he would then consider the
places Of advantage at which the sta
ton could be located. An investigation
would be conducted to find the best
place for the station, and the advice of
the naval consulting board. which sug-
gested the station, will have great
weight in its final location, unless Con-
gress itself provides where 1t shall be
located. The board. in it's resolution
suggesting the construction Of such a
station. said that 1t should be located
on tidewater deep enough to accommo-
date the largest of battleships.
The idea of the board was, 1t Is de-
clared. to have a place where battle
ships could tie up at a dock for the
purpose of experiments This seems to
eliminate Annapolis as a point of loca-
ton for the proposed station, as at that
place battleships even of the smaller,
second-line type in the reserve fleet
cannot approach within two miles. An

sERBIA's PERIL IN WINTER.
Woman Red Cross Doctor, Back in
Washington, Sees Danger.

; DR.. Louise Taylor Jones, a Washing
ton physician, who has been serving in
Serbia for the Red Cross. returned to
her home here. 1910 21st street north
west. yesterday. with the report that
disease conditions in that country have
become better.
Dr. Jones expressed the fear. how
ever. that with the nearer approach of
winter disease conditions in Serbia
will grow worse than they have been:
She preferred not to be interviewed
concerning her Red Cross experiences,
which extended over period Of three
months.
DR.. Jones had a difficult time in get
ting out of Serbia. owing to the war
conditions and the use of the railroads
for the movement of troops. She was
four weeks on the way home, coming
by way of Naples and landing from
the steamship Cretic at Boston Thurs
day. Dr. Jones said 1t is unlikely that
she will return to the war zones.

NO MONEY IN SIGHT!
NO NAVAL LABORATORY
Until Congress Makes Provision
There Is Nothing Doing in

Until Congress provides money for
the establishment of a laboratory in

naval consulting board, can carry on
experiments to develop war machines,
no place will be considered for the To-
cation of the experiment station. Sec
rotary Daniels has so written to the
