MEXICO CITY, Nov. 25-A new
municipal law forbids Mexicans to
hold fiestas in cemeteries over the
graves of their grandmothers or other
relatives, as has been the annual prac-
tice Of the poorer people on All Souls
Day. This action has been taken at
the request of the church authorities.
For years one Of the most popular
holidays in the long calender of such
days in Mexico has been All Souls
Day which by such should be observed
as solemn occasion. The poor class
of native, however, had turned it into
a day .of hilarity and general rejoic-
ing and it was no uncommon thing to
find a happy group drinking pulque
and singing songs over the grave OF
some dear and deceased relative
The merry-making was stopped this
year by order of the city countll.

US. SUPPLANTIVG
GREAT BRITAIN
In the Coal Markets of South America
And Europe, Is Evidenced By The
Shipping World
Associated Press

LONDON, Nov. 25-Evidence that
in coal markets of South America and
Europe is seen by the Shipping
World. The paper attributes this to
restrictions imposed on shipping that
otherwise might be available for car
rying British coal.
"The result is that traders abroad
who want coal are getting it from
other regions" it says. ''The South
American trade has fallen almost in
evitably into the hands of shipowners
from the United States; but. more
ominous still is the fact that ship
ments from Virginia are coming al
most daily to ports of Europe. Goth
enburg, Dunkirk, Antwerp, Rotter-
dam, Lisbon, Genoa and other ports
of Italy are receiving American coal
at freight rates which only their
urgent needs can justify. Even to
Port Said American Goals have been
shipped.
"The question arises whether this is
merely a passing phase due to the
present scarcity of tonnage, or wheth-
er these American ships are the
pioneers of a few form of enterprise
of the Western continent which is de-
stined to become permanent fea-
ture of trade. 1t must not be assum-
ed that, with the increase of British
shipping that will assuredly come in a
year or two, the old lines Of trade will
so easily be regained. The river plate
trade may to a considerable extent
be written off.
'The greater proximity of Europ-
can ports to the United Kingdom
will be an advantage to British ship
>owners in their endeavor to regain the
Continental trade, but it will be no
easy -tasSk>~to break the trade connec-
tions that american competitors are
now engaged in forming

TRY TO AGREE
ON WAGE SCALE
After Spending Tow Hours In CM,.r-
enee Fail To Break Deadlock
As To Miners Demands.
Associated Press

WASHINGTON. Nov. 25-,' C.
dent Wilson's cabinet is expected
reach decision today as to tbs
controversy. betMeen the Ditu...s ~
coal miners and the operators that
would send the miners back to work
at once. Before entering the meet
ing, Attorney General Palmer said.
If the figures as to the operators
profits, given yesterday by former
Secretary of Treasury McAdoo, were
correct, it is not likely that Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield would permit an
increased price for coal.
Any wage advance granted, it is
intimated, would have to come out of
the operators profits. McAdoo yes
terday stated, the operators profits,
as shown by the income tax returns of
1917, showed earnings on capital
stock, ranging from Is per cent to two
thousand per cent.
The operators and miners spent two
hours in conference today, without
breaking the deadlock as to wages.
CLOSING ADDITIONAL PLANTS
CHICAGO, Nov. 25-The closing of
additional manufacturing plants in
Middle West and other places, the
further curtailment and the lessening
of production even in those mines
which have been worked since the
strike of the bituminous coal miners
went into effect more than three
weeks ago, still continues today, as
the miners await the outcome Of the
miners and operators conference in
Washington.
One ray of hope, is the possibility
that the whole difficulty may be SUBJ
mitted to President Wilson as a re-
suit of the cabinet discussion. The
indications are that factories and pub
lie utilities are now operating at a
reduced basis.
The reduced distribution of coal in
the Pittsburg district, which caused
an order to be issued cutting off street
illumination, has been removed, as a
result of the crime which followed
the darkening of the streets.

RESENTS INSULT
TOPRES. WILSON
w. ID. Corley, Mississippi Cotton Plan
ter and Mine Owner, Punches La
Dor Leaders Face In Colorado.

What former Mississippian "a citl-
zen of Tutwiler, and one who is well
known in Clarksdale and who former
ly resided here, thought of an insult
to President Wilson, is vividly but
briefly told in a short clipping from
a Denver, Colo, paper. 1t follows:
COLORADO SPRINGS, Nov. A.
president Wilson is a liar"
Biff!
1t all happened in flash.
Then biff again and biff biffff!
The man who called President Will
son liar and was biffed was Daniel
Davis, member of the scale commit
tee of the Colorado Springs local of
the United Workers of America and
deputy organizer for that organlza-
tion.
The man who did the biting was
w. D. Corley, wealthy Southern cot
ton grower and owner of the Stark
Corley coal mine just north of Colo
RADIO Springs.
DAVIS is HUSTLED OUT OF THE
OFFICE.
There would have been much more
biting had not other members of the
scale committee seized Davis and hus-
t,ed aim from Corley' office. The oth-
,o,,ssbers of the committee realized
j., .f,.sb>4the gravity of Davis as
sault upon the integrity Of the pres
aited States and the
harm it would do their cause isey
did not attempt to assist DAVIS ou'
devoted their efforts e getting n'n
outside of Corley's ohica anu uolns
their utmost to hush up thA 'nA.Ii
Later Davis was removed froh Tue
scale committee because his c&liouc
had ended his usefulness as meihleno
of that body. =
Davis attack upon President Will
son was made during a conference be-
tween Corley and the scale committee
of the local miners union In Corley,s
office. Corley sat at one side OF
flat-top desk while the union repre-
sentatives occupied chairs on the 9th.
er side.
Davis assumed to act as spokesman
of the committee and when he tolc
Corley that he either would nave te
sign a contract with the union or see
his mine permanently closed, the cot
ton grower replied: "Wel I'll stant
ON President Wilson's statement tina
this strike is illegal"
This angered Davis, who sprang tt
his feet and sad: president Wilson
is liar"
No sooner, the story goes on to re
cite, had the labor leader made tn
utterance than Corley leaped over tn
desg and began punishment tina
was only stopped WIN Davis, his nos
bleeding and his eyes bruised and dis
calored, had been dragged from Tn
office by his associates.

Old Mombi had thought herself very
wise to choose the form of a Griffin.
for its legs were exceedingly fleet and
its strength more enduring than that of
other animals. But she had not reck-
oned on the untiring energy of the
Saw-Horse. whose wooden limbs could
run for days without Stacking their
speed. Therefore, after an hours hard
running, the Griffin's breath began
to fail, and it painted and gasped pain
! fully, and moved more slowly than be-
| fore. Then it reached the edge of the
desert and began racing across the
deep sands But its tired feet sank far
| into the sand, and in a few minutes
( the Griffin fell forward, completely ex-
hausted, and lay still upon the desert
waste.

ing the still vigorous Saw-Horse: and
