Carranza Says Resume Work or
Forfeit Holdings

ATLANTIC CITY, Nov 15.-Mexican
members of the peace commission have
manifested obstructionist tactics, but
the American members nevertheless
believe there is still a chance OF
reaching an agreement with regard
to affairs at the border, involving
Pershing's withdrawal.
The Americans hope to get the Mex
leans to promise favorable action to-
ward big American mining interests,
and the Mexicans are mailing tenta-
tive agreements to Carranza for rati-
fication.
Yesterday one of Carranza's most
important decrees-that owners of
mines in Mexico must either resume
work or foreit their properties-was
to have become effective. Many have
been unable to comply with the de-
cree, and it is not known what attitude
the government will take in the mat
ter.

Rents Are Raised, And Delinquents
Are Evicted-Odd Custom Fol-

BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 21.-(By
mail THE leasing of graves being,
to a considerable extent the custom in
Buenos Aires, the municipal lnten-
dente has published notice warning
the relatives of tenants in the local
cemeteries that rents are due and that
those who fail to secure renewals
within 80 days will be evicted.
The intendente adds that victims OF
the evictions will be deposited in the
charnel house or, less elegantly eX
pressed, the general boneyard.
The 80 days is now about up. A
good deal of the rent has been paid
but there is also a good-sized list of
delinguents. Their election from their
graves is expected to begin shortly.

ELECTION RESULT
MAY BE CONTESTED
POLITICAL LEADERS BELIEVE THE
GUBERNATORAL CONTEST MAY
BE SETTLED IN COURT
Confusion of Voters Trying to Scratch
Their Ballots Makes Outcome of
Election Uncertain

BOISE, Nov 1.-THE gubernatoral
contest will go into the courts for set
Itlment in the opinion of party leaders
here. Governor Alexander, democrat,
has plurality of 700 and d. w. Davis,
republican, his opponent, ran him a
close race in every county The back
|ers of Davis declare that failure of
ELECTION judges to follow instructions
when counting the ballots lost Davis
many votes, or enough to elect him.
Davis says he has taken no initiative
in the contest and does not propose to
90 so: that the matter is for the re-
publican state central committee to
handle.
Secretary Broxon speaking for Gov
ernor Alexander, said: mo effort on
the part of disappointed republicans
can deprive Governor Alexander of his
victory
No fraud is charged. The irregul-
arities are claimed to exist in every
county in the southern portion of the
state. When the county canvassing
board of Bonneville county instructed
the counters and judges to recount
some 900 votes in two precincts in
that county, the contest issue was
raised. The board held that the count
ers had improperly counted straight
ballots. Three of the judges in one
precinct, the largest refused to open
the ballot boxes and recount on the
ground that to do so held them crinl-
inally liable. The commissioners held
that in these precincts the voters
marked a cross in the circle at the top
Of the republican ballot, indicating
they intended to vote the ticket
straight, and then jumped cross after
the names of Governor Alexander and
other democrats that the judges
counted the ballots for the governor
when they should have counted them
for Davis. There seems to be ques-
ton of opinion as to how an elector
can mark his ballot in this way.

WHEN EXTRACTS
BECOME "BOOZE"
U. s. Assistant Attorney Says Merch-
ant May Violate Law by Selling Ex-
tracts to Indians-Case Pending
Against Rawieigh Company For AL
legged Violations

Merchants who sell to Indians So
called extracts containing more than
the proportionate amount of acohol
necessary to perserve the flavoring in
gradients may be subject to trial be-
fore the United States district court on
u charge of selling intoxicating liquor
to Indians, according to J. L. Smead,
assistant United States attorney, who
is here at the session of the federal
court.
A case against the w. T. Rawleigh
company, a patent medicine company
of Freeport, ILL.,, with travelling agents
all over the world. was the basis OF
the assistant attorneys remarks this
morning when he said:
Some of the extracts on the market
contain 80 per cent of alcohol. and in
q few of them SO per cent has been
found This is far above the necessary
percentage to perserve the other in
gradients of the extracts, many of
which would suffice with an 18 per
cent alcoholic perservative. The dis
tinction between the per cent of aicoh
oil necessary to make solution intox-
icatipg and therefore governable by
the statutes against liquor traffic with
Indians is not clear, but | am OF the
opinion that any merchant who would
sell an Indian four or five bottles of
an extract containing such high per-
centage of alcohol would be violating
the law.
merchants should use caution In
selling any extract to Indians and
should under no consideration sell 1t
unless they are sure beyond doubt
the extract will not be used for bev-
erage."
