 Rock Drilling Contest.
 An event of importance to all mining men and of interest to the layman will take place this afternoon under the auspices of the Mineral exhibitors at the state fair. Joe V. Prochaska, super intendent of the Mines exhibit an- nounced yesterday that the crack teams Of the state would try for the honor of being declared the fastest team on the double jack in the west So much interest has been expressed in this event that those in charge of the pro- gram have ordered the granite block moved from in front of the Mines building to a central position in front of the grand stand.
 Miami mining men and boosters are backing 'Slasher" Jack Harrington and his partner Bill O'Neil against the field. The only reason they hold for even money. they say. is that they wish to have currency to accomodate every body. They do say, however that they can give the other teams a handicap and still win.
 D l,~ .f.g the Globe contingent declare that a good quantity of Old Dominion copper has been converted into lighter but more useful currency of the realm and that the Miamians are in for a terrible slaughter. George Zapp and Bill Gold stein have been victors in the past and they claim they will bring home the premium
 Bisbee is represented by two gentle men by the name of Fred Carlson and Matt SodermaR said that these young men have the best steel and the fastest stroke in the west. They have supporters among the Eisbee contin- gent who are raring to go in support of their double jack artists Altogether it would appear to the layman that the Miami boys should send for a dray and their bankers 10 aid in straighten- ing up all financial affairs.
 Men from Globe and Miami have ar ranged to be on hand to see that their teams get proper moral support. Wilson Wright the county seat postmaster will be on hand accompanied by his wife H. Olge Tunis. Miami city engineer and manager of the Apache trail consoid ated Mines company will occupy a box with Mrs. Tunis and Mr. and Mrs. Phil Norton. of Roosevelt Gold fame.

PLANS FUR TH[ WITHDRAWAL OF
 TROOPS READY
[RcpubIicar 4. p. Leased WireJ

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Nov. 15.- develops. members of the Mexican American joint conference believed to- night, an agreement covering the with drawal of the American punitive ex- petition and a method of border con- trol will be ready by the end of the week for submission to the two gov ernments. Announcement that an agreement was in sight was made by Ignacio Bonillas, one of the Mexican representatives at the close of a ses- sion that had lasted until night.
 The altered attitude of the Mexicans indicated by the announcement, devel- oped at the second session today, al- though it was not attended by Luis Cabrera, who did not return from Phil adelphia until late tonight. He was accompanied here by Ambassador designate Arredondo and Mrs. Are dondo. No significance seemed to be attached to the coming of the ambas- sador since it has been known for some time that he had plannel to spend brief holiday here shortly before the adjournment of the commission.
 Although Mir. Cabrera has not been here since he manifested his opposi- ton to the plan that was sanctioned Monday by his colleagues, it is known the other Mexicans were in telephonic communication with him today It is not believed. however. that the unex- pected development late today was due to his counsel.
 Mir. Cabrera, it now is known, has been opposed, apparently unalterably, to the plan as it has been discussed There appeared reason to believe that | he had suggested a counter plan but Continued on Page TwoS

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15.-Predic- tiOn that the lowest democratic elector in California will run ahead of the highest republican elector were made tonight by democratic leaders after watching the slowly augmenting re- aurns from county clerks
 "The difference will be about 500 in favor of the democrats" said Sidney M. Van Wyck, IT,, chairman of the democratic campaign national commit tee. Available incoming returns were considered in themselves, not an index of the situation, proportionately, be- cause they were from smaller counties most of which had given Wilson good majorities. They showed the lowest democrat 14,77S ahead of the highest republican but nearly all the big coun- ties still were missing.
 If Charles E. Hughes comedies the re election of President Wilson by next Friday, Vance c. Mccormick, chairman of the democratic national committee probably will discuss plans for the presidents inauguration with local democratic leaders when he comes to Washington on that day. Usually the chairman of the inaugural committee which has charge of the parade and other civic ceremonies is selected soon after the election. It is taken for grant lowing out his plan of 1913, will have no inaugural ball.

 CHICAGO, Nov. l5.-The develop ment of the mineral resources of the United States was described as an orgy of hasty exploitation by Van +. Manning, director of the bureau of mines. addressing the American Mining Congress today.
 Great as has been the advance i'll the mining industry" he said, it is deplorable to have to say that it has been carried on in a most waste ful manner and with little regard for the safety of the men who labor in the mines.
 Had our mineral resources been wisely develoed, they would have lasted many years longer and yield . cd ten times as much wealth.
 The chief need of the United States if it would meet new condi- tions of trade is a deeper and wider cooperation among our industries and the elimination of factionalism and sentimentalism."
 Dr. George Otis Smith, director oe the geological survey, declared that any regulation of prices needed to he under federal control. The private owner of coal land has no more sacred right to say whether coal shall be mined or fix an exorbitant price on the indispensable national re- source than the coal operators have to combine to exact an excessive profit from the consumer or the rail- roads to charge all the traffic will bear

 LEAD IF FIVE
 IN THE HOUSE
TRcpublican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-Incom- plete canvasses of the vote in several close congressional districts today brought no changes in the unofficial election results, which indicate that PIT republicans, PIP democrats and six of other parties have been elected to the sixty fifth congress. Representa- tive Doremus, chairman of the demo- cratic national committee, still claims, however, that democrats will make gains on the final returns in six or seven of the close districts which ap- parently have elected republicans by small majorities. Speaker Clark and other democratic leaders also confi- dently expect to cut down the republi- can plurality.
 Representative Woods, chairman of the republican committee, insisted to- night that the republicans undoubtedly would control the organization of the house. A speaker to be elected must receive a majority of the house. or 21S votes. Although the unofficial returns show the republicans to be one short of a majority, they are counting on the progressive elected in Minnesota, the progressive-r republican in Louisiana and the independent in Massachusetts to vote with them for James R. Mann for speaker.
 Prospects of a republican gain were apparent in the thirty second Pennsyl- vania district where the canvass of all Pittsburg precincts today showed Rep resentative Barchfeld leading Guy Campbell, his democratic opponent, by F votes. On the unofficial returns Campbell led Barchfeld by l9 votes. County precincts still are to be can vassed.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. Ia Chester H. Powell, chairman of the republican state central commit tee, issued statement today charging that the republicans who undertook to look after Charles F.

The statement planes them for the loss of the state from the republican column.

 WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.-President Wilson expressed his gratitude to the people of the west for their support in the election. in messages sent to- night in reply to requests that he visit that section before congress opens. He said he would be unable to make the trip at present because of critical duties. but promised to go west later if possible.
 The president sen; the following telegram 10 Vim. II. King, successful candidate for the United State senate from Utah:
 The invitation to visit the west tugs hard at my heart. because l feel deepl,s grateful to all the west for the splendid and generous support YOU have given me. but l would not be worthy of their generous confid- ence if I were to leave my desk at a time when duties of the most critical and pressing sort crowd upon me. am promising myself the pleasure of such a trip if ever l can get free from the tolls of exactinE duty. and in the meantime wish to express my deep gratitude. appreciation. and re- grei

There was no announcement on the days program concerning the Indian sports. but with the aid of a husky lunged announcer on the inside track the crowd was kept well informed A bunch of Indian lads, all bare foot with one exception. lined up at o'clock to sec who could negotiate a mile in the shortest time. One lad. the only one wearing shoes. led the crowd the whole mile. On the last lap. within ten yards of the judges stand. a short, fat, husky young redskin, built more for comfort rather than speed threw "her" into high, and nosed out his rival. The throng rOared its approval and gasped with amazement when the winners un- pronouncable name was given out Even the starter could not spell it.
 Probab bly the most sensational event of the afternoon occurred at time when the crowd was not looking for it, and without any preparation whatso- ever. A young cowpuncher, clad in a blue and red striped Jersey, was at tempting to bulldog a steer in the inner enclosure The steer, feeling the need. of more space and little air. jumped the fence into the half mile track, then jumped the fence into the mile track and headed down stream towards the grand stand The doughty cow puncher put his mount to both fences, followed the steer, caught up with him in front of the stand. dropped onto his horns with flourish, caught ii just right, and turned the animal over with snap. It was the cleverest piece If work pulled off at the fair. and the crowd went wild in order to show it's approval.
 The Indian Parade.
 Five hundred VOung boys and girls all dressed in uniforms looking as spick and span as if they had just stepped out of a band box. filed past the grand stand, and provided the big spectacle for the afternoon. Congressman Hay den, a former officer in the national guard, stood in front of the judges stqnd. and as each company, be they boys or girls, it did not matter, came opposite him. the command "eyes right" accompanied by salute, gave him official recognizance.
 Following the parade about three hundred girls lined up in front of the stand, equipped with dumb bells and Indian clubs. They then went through a drill which opened the eyes of the crowd to what is being done at the big school north of town The girls showed the benefit of consistent and painstak- ing training, keeping time well. and never missing their cue when it came time to change exercises.
 Then, too, there was auto polo. In past years it has been a hard matter to hold the crowds until the last hour. But yesterday it needed no official an- nouncer to tell what was coming. Ev- eryone wanted to see the auto polo, and practically everyone remained to be in at the death.
 As usual the antics of tFfe little cars caused no end of excitement and pal pitating hearts The cars whirled round and round climbed over one another. broke wheels, turned over and did stunts which no other car but a Ford would dare attempt.

 LONDON, Nov. 15.-The matter of the destruction of British shipping by German submarines came up in the house of lords today. Baron Syden- ham invited the government to make q declaration in the nature of a ton for ton" policy in behalf of Great Britain and her allies as .d reply to the monstrous proceedings of the German submarines. He de- clared that there was an uneasy feei- ing in tne country that the submar- inc menace was more serious than the authorities were willing to admit.
 Admiral Lord Beresford said that Great Britain had arrived al a seri- ous crisis ealing for energy and fore siglt Il was time for plain speak ing. because the house of commons and the newspapers had been mug zled by the most autocratic govern ment since the time of Pharaoh,
