That would, look like q lot Of

Now double the size Of the

not as much as one spear of

Keep the process up, in your

continue at the same rate. 1t Is i'm

POLICE AFTER
 NEWSD0YS AND
 CHILD BE:CCARS

Members of the Board of Police Commissioners at their meeting last night ordered the superintendent 10 command his men that the city ordt- nance which forbids the sale of news papers by children under 12 years Of age, forbids the sale of papers py those between the ages of 12 and 16 at other hours than that from in the morning till at night. and which also provides that every newspaper vender must secure a license to sell papers. This ordinance was abused during the deQress.On when condf- tions were such as to force many youngsters to go on the streets so as to secure enough funds to properly support themselves and in some cases contribute to the support of other members of their family.
 The attention of the police has also been called to the rapidly increasing haDit of children standing in hotel Iobb.es and places of amusement and begging money. This must be stopped also, according to the commissioners, and if after warning the children do not desist the parents will be ar rested Ond held accountable for the actions of the children.

OPERATIVE PACT
 THREATENED WITH
 SMASHING ON ROCKS

London, Oct. 31-CBy the A. P.1- | The so-called cooperative pact be- 1 tween governmental Conservatives and the Lloyd Georgian National Lib erals which yesterday appeared to be gaining strength. today seemed near a smash up that may force Lloyd George to really carry out his threat to spread the war" and wage a bitter fight to the finish with the men who brought about his downfall.
 One trouble seems to be that Con- servative candidates have bobbed up against those running under the Lloyd George banner in certain constitu- encies where the latter had regarded themselves as safe from tory attacks. Lloyd George is represented as being indignant and as contemplating the carrying of his threat if the Conserva- tive party does not withdraw some of it's candidates already entered against his followers. Others feel sure that he will really Spread the war; with vigor should the die hards put up any more candidates against the National Lib erals.
 At this time the Lloyd Georgtans have about 16O candidates in the field and they are reported to have 250 others in reserve. It is said to be Lloyd Georges intention to let loose these reserves against the Conserva- tives unless his demands are met
 The cooperative pacts-a sort of you leave us alone in this district and we won't bother you in that dis tr1ct" understanding-frst attracted attention through the anger of the die hards at the prospect of a return Coalition rule under eyes of a new government.
 To combat this dissatisfaction, the Central Conservative association an- nounced that in reality no pact had been reached, but that each constitu- ency was at liberty to adopt what ever candidate it choose. Since the an- nouncement National Liberals and Conservatives have been opposing one another in districts where they were believed to have reached a non-inter- ference understanding.
 The Times says that Lloyd George is still trying to come to an under standing with Unionist headquarters. but that party thinks the Untonists will lind it impossible to make the ar rangement Lloyd George desires even 1t they wished to do so, because the constituencies from which Lloyd George wants Conservative candtdafes withdrawn are precisely those which are least likely to respond to an peal from Unionist chfeftafns. The newspaper thinks that a wide break between the two would affect party relations on every front and would produce chaos in Scotland, where in many large area the Unionists and National Liberals are closely cooper ating.
 Still, The Times contends. the Lloyd Georgian party, if it is to continue to live at all has no alternative but to spread the war;
 A clash between the Conservatives ar the Lloyd Georgians would likely result in an alliance between the Ma tional Liberals and the Asauithfan Free Liberals in several districts,

COMMERCE WITH
 MEXICO HELD UP
 BY ATTACHMENT

Mexico City, Oct 31-CBy the A.P1 Commercial relations between the Mexican government and all persons or groups of persons residing in New York state were under suspension to- day until further notice as the result of instructions sent to the Depart ment of Interior late last night by Presiden Obregon.
 The president also had the various Mexican state governments instructed to refrain from commercial inter course with New York firms.
 The immediate cause of his action was the writ of attachment obtained against the Mexican consulate in New York City in a civil action brought by the Oliver American Trading Go.
 This writ was ordered lifted last night by Supreme Court Justice Tonlpkins at Nvack, N. Y. News or the lifting of the writ was filed to Mexico City at about the same rrme that despatches telling of President Obregon's action were sent out from the Mexican capital.
 President Obregon's order, he said, was also prompted by other matters among these he mentioned in his in- structions to the Interior Department that the New York courts had not per- mitted the Mexican governm ent to ob- tain redress there on contracts such as those made for the purchase of
 
 when he was secretary of the treas ury. At a latter date. PresidenE Obregon's instructions pointed out, the courts of New York permitted the Mexican government to De sue0 and it's consulate closed, which action he held to be contrary to internatio al law.
 Coupled with his Instructions last night was the announcement that he had ordered the foreign office to ap- ply Article S3- pertaining to perni- cious foreigners, to Howard T. How ard. president of the Oliver American Co.,, should he attempt to re- turn to Mexico City.
 Oliver, said President Obregon.s announcement, 'fhas abused the tra- Mexican hospitality and un- satisfied with material advantages he realized during his operations here. hes ought to provoke a conflict be- tween Mexico and the United States"
 Formal orders for reopening the New York consulate had not been dispatched from Mexico City last night. It was explained that the de- hay was due merely to the absence to instructions from the embassy at Washington.
