DESPONDENCY CAUSE
 OF MANS SUICIDE
George Bronson Howard, Novelist and Scenario Writer, Found Dead
 In Hollywood Home.

Los Angeles, Nov 21. = Despond- ency over domestic and financial trou- bles was the reason. ascribed by friends today for what they and the police both termed the suicide in his apartments yesterday of George Bron- son Howard, novelist, dramatist and photoplaywright.
 On a table not far from a closet in which the body with a gas tube in the mouth was found. lay a letter he had written last night to his wife, Mrs. Jean Bronson Howard, in Baltimore, and an opened copy of his book Gods Man"
 The letter contained no hint that the writer contemplated suicide but disclosed that he was apparently op- pressed by various troubles.
 The playwright was in outwardly optimistic mood up to about two o'clock in the morning, according to John Davis. his secretary who worked with him until that hour in. the prep aration of scenario.
 He had been living in the Holly wood district since September. Friends said the present Mrs. Howard was his second wife. and that he had been di- vorced from. his first wife in 1903.

MEXICAN STATEMENT
 ON U. s. ARGUMENTS
Foreign Secretary Pant Gratified That America Does Not Wish to
 Interfere in Mexico.

Mexico Citq, Nov. 21 (By Associat- ed Press)--Foreign Secretary Pan, in a statement replying to the declara- tions of the American state depart ment concerning charges in the Mexi- can chamber of deputies of interfer- ence by the United States in Mexican legislative affairs said:
 Tt is fact that the foreign of- flee and MT. Summerlin (American charge d'affairs) have had to discuss verbally matters pertaining to re- sumption of diplomatic relations be- tween the two countries and 1t is necessary to emphasize that this de- partment never famed petroleum law project of which 1t did not give knowledge to the American state de- partment or on which 1t did not solicit the state departments com ment.
 If President Obregon saw the necessity of informing the chamber of deputies of the case fn question 1t was because he believed MT. Summer lin's notes exercised restraint oil the legislative faculties of Mexico.
 Fortunately the American state de- partment has declared that it had no intention in the case mentioned of dis regarding Mexico's sovereignty, that the United States had no desire to mix in Mexico's internal affairs, and that it's feeling towards Mexico con- tinues friendly"

GATES NOT GUILTY
 ON PEONAGE COUNT
Former Governor of Florida Proves That He Did Not Hold Men
 As Slaves.

Pensacola, Fla, Nov. 21. (By As- sociated Press) After deliberating only nine minutes jury in federal court here late last night found Sid- .ney J. Catts, former governor of Florida, not guilty of the charge of having held in peonage John Henry Rogers, negro.
 District Attorney Dudderly indicat- ed after the verdict he today would move dismissal of an indictment against MT. Catts charging peonage relating to Ed Brown, negro.
 The governments main contention was that MT. Catts had held Rogers and Brown in bondage on his farm after they had been pardoned from the state penitentiary where they were serving life sentences during his term of office as governor.
 The defense hinged its case mostly on an effort to break down the state ments of the negroes that they never had any money while they worked for MT. Catts. A dozen witnesses testi- fled they seemed well supplied with cash at all times.

HOT DOGS COSTLY.
Prices of Sausages in Germany Are
 Steadily Climbing.

Washington, Nov. 21.-High prices for hot dogs prevail in Germany, the commerce department has been ad- vised by Consul John A. Scott, of Dresden.
 "One of the chief topics of the day in Germany" he says, lis the tre- mendous increase in meat and sau- sage prices. The consumer places the blame on the butchers. while the latter condemn the slaughter houses, and from there the high prices are passed on down to the farmer, who states that it is the high cost of feed that forces him to demand a high price for his meat. Beef, mutton and pork have risen over 100 per cent in the last 60 days, while slaughter house fees have risen 200 per cent"
