MEXICAN WAR
Being Urged By Big Oil
Producers.

New York.-The board of foreign
missions of the Presbyterian church
has made public a report which
charges that oil interests are manu-
featuring propaganda to embroil this
nation in a war with Mexico. The re-
port was prepared by Samuel G. In
man, executive secretary of the Latin
American committee of this church.
Mr.. lnman declares that the Ameri-
can people are being deceived by in
spired propaganda and that "inter-
vention in Mexico is coming as fast as
certain interests can possibly force
it." These interests, it is stated "are
playing not simply for oil wells in
Tampico and Vera Cruz, but for a
much larger stake; they have found
out that Mexico is full of oil. What
they want is for the United States to
get held of Mexico so that they can
easily obtain these billions of dollars
of oil property which are certain to
be developed in the future"

THE CHILDREN's NOISE.
A fussy old bachelor,
Crusty and rlum

A fussy old bachelor,
Crusty and glum,
Was always annoyed by the children
The little girls chatter,
The laddy's new drum
How dreadful the noise of the children.
Whatever they did,,
Wherever they were,
He always complained of the children;
He moved many times
And the reason therefor,
Was hope of escaping all children.
Then he died one day,
AS bachelor may,
And called at the entrance to heaven:
"St Peter" said he,
81 would like, if may,
A place never bothered with children. !"
"Old man." said the Saint,
You belong down below
If unable to love little children;
So right about face,
Straight downward you go;
In hell you will never find children. I"

RECOUNT ACTION
|SNOT DROPPED
Runors to Contrary Are Denied
Still Working on Application

No new development today marked
the action of the city Democrats to
apply for a recount in order that the
election of John N. Wester, Republi-
can. as alderman-at-large, over Will
liam Voorhees,, Democrat, might be
contested. A meeting of the poll
clerks was held last night by the
Democrats and another was scheduled
to be held today in order that it
might be learned how many of the re-
jected ballots were Democratic votes
and the reasons for their rejection.
The stand taken by Mr.. voorhees,
yesterday when. in an interview he
said he was willing to take his med
icine," has the Democratic leaders
here somewhat puzzled as they SEEM
ed to be Of the opinion that if he was
in OF win he should not give up until
it is positively known that Wester
won.
Reports were prevalent about the
city this morning that after consid-
ering the matter more fully the Dem
ocrats had given up the idea of re-
count This was denied, however
and Mayor Dorsey this morning stat
ed that plans were still being made
for application for a recount.

HIGH TIDE CAUSE
Of FERRY DELAY
Boats Along There in Danger Of
Floating Away
FERRY BOATS ARE DELAYED
Station at Jersey Flooded, De-
laying Commut-
erS.

The highest tide seen in years in
tn vc--.uy occurred this morning
when the water In many places flowed
over the docks along the shore here
and Staten Island. In many places
where boats had been laid up for the
winter along shore there was danger
at one time that they would float
aX. but for the timely arrival of the
owner at an early hour made their
UUu.S nlole secure. Auto trucks and
all kinds of motor and horse drawn
vehicles were held up on both sides
of the Staten Island sound in this city
and Tottenville because of the tide
high that it was impossible to get the
vehicles on the ferryboat Tottenville
of the Staten Island Rapid Transit
for more than an hour.
Boat men along shore declare that
the tide was the highest that they had
seen in many a day. They say If there
had been a strong east wind blowing
this morning there would have been
considerable damage done. Small
creeks all along the Raritan river and
bay and the Staten Island sound were
swollen to more than there natural
size. Over on Staten Island where the
bridge crosses the Mill creek between
TottenVille and Richmond Valley the
entire roadway was covered over with
water from the tide coming in from
the sound. 1t was high water at 6:3S
o'clock here this morning and it was
long after that tho water remained
up a considerable distance on shore
before 1t started to fall.

WOULD AGREE To
RESERVATIONS
Providing They Do Not HuIIify
Covenant
UP To LEAGUE SUPPORTERS
President Confers With Senate
Leader Popped Up in
Bed
BIZ The Associated Iress.


WASHINGTON, Nov. President
Wilson today told Senator Hitchcock,
of Nebraska, administration leader in
the senate treaty fight, that he would
be entirely satisfied with any reserva-
tlons supporters of the treaty might
feel justified in accepting, provided
they did not nullify the League Of
Nations covenant and were designed
for the purpose of Interpreting the
terms of the treaty.
The President, Senator Hitchcock
said expressed his very strong ap-
proval" of what had been done to
date and agreed that no compromise
would be offered unless q deadlock
was reached on a resolution of rati-
f1cation.
Senator Hitchcock outlined his
program as first an endeavor to de-
feat the reservations reported by the
foreign relations committee and If
that failed to vote down the reSolu-
ton of ratification containing them.
His next move would be to present q
resolution of ratification and should
q deadlock ensue, to attempt a COM
promise with Republican opponents.
Senator Hitchcock said If a reso-
luton of ratification containing the
committee reservations were adopted
that would settle the fight so far as
the senate was concerned but that
the President could pigeon hole"
the treaty. He declined to speculate
as to the probable course of the
President should the committee's s
resolution prevail.
Senator Hitchcock was with the
President for half an hour. Mr.. Will
son received him propped up in bed.
Senator Hitchcock said the President
showed keen interest throughout the
conference and expressed his Judg-
ment and opinions energetically.
The senator outlined the plan to
be followed in consideration of the
committee reservations and the Pres
ident gave general approval.

Government officials headed by G. b.

strike of coal miners throughout the
country.

directed against the officials of the
United Mine Workers of America now

straining order will be argued in red
eral court here. In addition the gov
ernment will ask that mandatory
order to call off the strike be issued
The miners attorneys on their parl
will argue O. motion for dismissal oi
! the governments proceedings, on the
! ground that the government has moi
shown its interest in the miners con-
| troversy and that it is without equity
in the matter.
| There was no disposition on the
part of either miners or government
/ representatives today to concede any
! point to the opposition. The miners
| are standing on their declaration tha'
/ they are willing to reopen negotla-
tions Immediately If the restraining
order is vacated. The government S
| legal representatives on the other
, hand have announced that they in
/ tend to continue with the court pro-
gram which has been started.
The latest word from the operators
is that they will not consider resum-
ing operations unless the miners re-
turn to work.

REFUSE TO QUIT
ORDER Of COURT
Cabinet Opposes GOmpers' Plan
in Suit
By The Associated -ress.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE strike
of bituminous coal miners in particu-
lar, and the industrial situation in gen.
eral, were discussed by President VIII
sons cabinet today at special meet
ing called by Secretary Lansing of the
State Department. Fuel Administra-
tor Garfield and Director General
Hines, of the Railroad Administration,
were present. -
Before the" cabinet assembled ad-
ministration spokesmen reiterated that
the government was unalterably OPP
posed to the proposal of Samuel Com
pers, president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, that the injunction
suit against the United Mine Workers
of America be withdrawn as a pre-
liminary to the ending of the strike
and the negotiation of new agree
ment between the miners and opera
| tors.
officers said the governments offer
to arbitrate the controversy as soon
as the strike order was withdrawn,
still was open and that unless 1t was
accepted and the strike ended there
was no course for the government ex-
cept to press the injunction suit.
Before Attoreny General Palmer
went to the cabinet meeting Samuel
Gompers called on him and expressed
the opinion that a settlement of the
strike could not be reached If the gov
ernment enforced legal measures
against the strike. He also again
called attention to what he said would
be the effect of government by injunc-
ton upon organized labor generally.
