Out All Dishonesty

Ell PaSo, Jan. 80. General Fran
cisco Murguia, in a proclamation to
the people of the State of chihuahua.
Mexico, appeals to them to aid him
in routing out dishonesty from his
military and civil administration.

guia speaks of the arduous task of
learning of the abuses and crimes that
are committed in his name by officers
of the army and employees of the
government who lack scruples."
He adds that, acting under powers
which they possessed before his ar
rival some of these officers and officials
have violated the right of peaceable
persons in helping themselves to
their property. He continues: THE
most severe and exemplary punish
ment will be passed for the crimes and
abuses which have been committed in
the various districts of the State. +"
General Murguia said he had warned
the people to demand receipts for all
forage or food from the officers re-
QUESTIONING them declaring that such
receipts would be honored by the army
paymaster. Word has been received
at the Mexican consulate that the
mines and smelter at Santa EuIalia. 20
miles east of Chihuahua City, have

HOUSE FLOOR FOR
MEMBERS ONLY
Speaker Baldwin Calls Atten-
ton TO Rule to Keep Out
siderS in Galleries

Speaker Baldwin to-day gave notice
that he proposed to enforce the rules
of the House of Representatives that
only members and duly authorized
persons shall have the privileges of
the floor. He said keeping the floor
clear would expedite the business of
the House and asked an expression of
opinion by members on the subject.
This rule has seldom been enforced,
the notable exception being in the ses-
sion of 1913 when George Il. Alter
was speaker and the enforcement was
rigorous. The Baldwin statement at
tracted much attention as last session
the floor was overrun by persons hav-
ing no business there.
Mr.. Baldwin said in regard to the
rule:
THE Chair would like each mem
Der of the House to carefully examine
Rule 80. The purpose is that it re-
fers to the Speakers keeping proper
order in the House, and also refers
to the question of who shall be per-
mitted the privilege of the floor of
the House. The Speakers thought is
that we could keep much better order
in the House if that rule were en-
forced. 1t is one of the rules that
in the past has seldom been enforced
Your present speaker does not desire
TO be harsh in the enforcement of
the rules of the House, but if it is
the wish of the House that this rule
be enforced your speaker stands ready
to enforce it.
My own personal judgment is that
If this rule were enforced it would
tend to expedite the business of the
House, and it would give to our body
a dignity that 1 think we owe the
State. However, 1 want the members
to think it over carefully, and this
evening l would like to have an ex-
preston of the House on this particu-
lar rule. The meeting for this even
ing of course, is for the purpose of
referring bills that may be presented
to-day.
Il would suggest to the chairmen of
the various committees that they this
afternoon organize and agree upon
their procedure within their own re-
spective committees. | again want to
urge upon the members of committees
the Importance of carefully consid-
ering and thoroughly understanding
every bill that comes on the floor of
the House. | am sure that you will
all agree with me that if the com
mittees do their work carefully, it will
expedite business on the floor of the
House."

Washington, D. c., Jan. 30.-Alfredo
Gonzalez, deposed president of Costa
Rica, has sent an appeal to the United
States government for Intervention.
He is a refugee now in the American
legation at San Jose, where his former
minister of war, Federico Tinoco, has
installed himself as provisional presi-
dent after a revolution that was
brought to a triumphal conclusion
twelve hours after it was begun with

country, the development was the cul-
mination of popular demand.

ROAST BABYLON WAS GOOD

Bustanoby Prepares Novel "Piece dc
Resistance" for a Dinner
New York, Jan. Roast baby
lion done to the proper leonine turn
was served as the piece de resistance"
of a dinner given by S. NJ. Roosevelt
at the Cafe Beaux Arts.
The lion, two-month- cub,
which was sent here from South Africa
to summarily end its days as a votive
offering to Lucullus, was pronounced
a delectable bit, though savoring
somewhat of the wilds from which it
came. The lion found it's way into
the menu card because Mr.. Roosevelt
suggested that Andre Bustanoby, pro-
prietor of the Beaux Arts serve some
thing entirely original in the way of
food for his guests.
Mr.. Bustanoby bethought himself of
the baby lion which some misguided
friend had sent his nephew. Andrew
Davodivich, for a Christmas present.
Mr.. Roosevelt agreed that roast baby
lion would be different. unusual and
maybe edible.

Ranger Sullivan reported he be-
lieved the settlements were the orig
inal dwellings of the Aztec tribe.

days after filing application for the

cation. If the marriage Is all right.
