UNIQUE PROHIBITOIN SYSTEM IN MEXICO Federals Take All Citizens Found to be Intoxicated and at Once Muster Them Into Army Service. “DELIVER US FROM OIL” Says Officer of Dutch Cruiser—War Victims are Piled in Heaps, Cov- ered With 0il and Burned. By Congressman C. H. Tavenner. ‘Washington, July 11.—An inter- esting picture of life within the city of Tampico has been sent to Wash- ington by an officer of the .Dutch cruiser ‘Kortenaer,” which was sta- tioned in Tampico while the revolu- that city. Portions of the letter, which has not heretofore been published follow: “Deliver us from oil! Our ships float in a river of oil. ‘We smell nothing but oil. We hear nothing but stories of oil wells. We must sterilize water four times to ‘get rid of the taste of oil. Federals and constitutionalists are killing each other to get hold of the oil fields. When the battle is over the dead are hastily thrown in a large heap, oil is poured over them and the simple funeral pile is ready. “There is one advantage. however. The oil works as a preventive of the worst of all pests—the mosquito is not much in evidence. There is no yellow fever. But since typhoid fever, malaria and smallpox are pre- valent in the town we all get our daily dose of quinine, and so far we have kept well and cheerful. “Yesterday I went ashore. The motorboat with some whale boats remained near the landing place to take up refigees who were obliged to leave their homes. I must con- fess that I was glad to have a trust- ed revolver hidden in my pockat. All around us were the most villain- ous looking soldiers with enormous guns, “Captured rebels are immediately shot, or if possible, hanged, and a few trees around the city are _as heavily loaded down with corpses as a ripe cherry tree with cherries. ‘The idea of prisoners of war 1s Tot known -here.When- according to our rules a small band of either one party or the other ought to surrender, the victorius party continues shooting until not a man of the other side re- mains alive. A few cans of oil, a match, and the funeral has taken place, “No body knows how many men the rebels have lost. They take their own dead and wounded with them. They bind their hands to- gether with their lassoes and drag them along behind their horses to the safety of their own camp, dead, wounded or dying. The federal army is nothing to boast about. All prisoners are pressed into the army. Every evening patrols are sent out to guard all saloons. Those brethern who appear to have had too much when they leave these drinking places are at once mustered into the army. Here is a system of prohi- bition which ought to be ful.” tionists were storming EDWARDS MUST PAY $17,425 Verdict Against Wealthy St. Paul Man Is Upheld. St. Paul, July 11.—The $17,425 ver- dict awarded to Ada M. Cox, Chicago stenographer, in her suit against Wil- jam Rufus Edwards, wealthy St. Paul lumberman, for breach of promise, is not excessive, the state supreme court held. The court holds that a release ot Miss Cox’s cause of action against Ed- wards for $250 was obtained by fraud. Miss Cox claimed that on Oct. 10, 1910, Edwards and herself entered in- fo a contract to marry. Their rela- tions were aired in St. Paul at two trials. * Miss Cox was awarded $15203 at the first trial, which the trial court cut down to $12,500. The case was appealed to the supreme court and a new trial ordered. The verdict at the second trial was $17,425. The trial court declined to reduce it and Edwards appealed a sec- ond time. Edwards has been indicted by a federal grand jury in Chicago on the charge of violating the Mann act in connection with the same case. MANY.

Washington, July 11.—Secratary Wilgon of the department of laber is pleased at reports that fewer Ameri- can citizens are immigrating to Can- ada. Two years ago 91,971 Americans went to Canada, while the number re- turning from that country to the United States was only 38,317. For the eleven months ending May 31, 1914, it is said at the department, 68,396 citizens of this country went into the Dominion, while 44,127 Amer- icans returned to the United States. A gratifying feature of the return movement to Secretary Wilson is that large numbers of those coming back are seeking information from the de- partment as to the location of land on which they may settle.

Officials at ‘Washington have not given out any information concern- ing the selection of a sitte for the new structure, but may do so at any time, according to announcement made by C. A. Lindbergh, congress- mon. from this district. In Congested Condition. Both government officials, who came here for the purpose of investi- gating as to the proper location of the federal building rccommend that the conditions here be relieved as soon as possible. With its six clerks, assistant postmaster and postmaster, the Bemidji office handles more work than any other office in cities of the Isame size, and even larger, in the G inorthwest. The building now in use is far too small and the congested j conditions make it extremely difficult ! for the clerks to do their ‘work prop- jerly, although the local office is re- garded as one of the most efficient in the service, Special Man on Job. In order that these conditions may |is probable that a special architect may be named to draw the plans for the Bemidji building, this being necessary because of the chief archi- tect being several years behind in hig | work.

The new routes will be as {follows, one going east and mnorth from Bemidji to within three miles of Turtle River, taking in Lavinia and other lake points; one going to Maltby and taking in what is now known as the Star route and the oth- er going straight south, returning by Farris, Rosby and the brick yard.

Mr, Thompson was in attend--* ance at most of the meetings and is of the opinion that every delegate profited by the convention, its only criticism being in connection with the weather, which he says was very hot.
