~ SUPPORTERS OF MADERD SEATED Mexican Congress to Meet in Near Future. DELAYS ENTRANCE T CITY General Villa Leaves Vicinity of Capi- tal and Proceeds to Town One Hun- dred Miles Distant—Reason Leader’s Action Unexplained. for ‘Washington, Nov. 30.—Reports from Mexico City indicate that the per- manent committee of the Aguas Ca- lientes convention intends calling con- gress to meet in the near future. Every delegate to the congress who served- under the Madero regime will be eligible. This action, it was stated, had the endorsement of General Villa and all his lieutenants. It is expected a semblance of per- manent government will immediately be established in the Mexican capital. With it as a nucleus the convention government will be in a position to apply to the United States and the A-B-C powers for recognition. Despite the fact that Carranza is in power at Vera Cruz belief is gaining here that he must make material con- cessions to other insurgent factions in Mexico or face annihilation. The desertion of General Luis Caballero, who commands in the state of Tamulipas, is a serious blow. El Paso, Tex., Nov. 30.—General Francisco Villa has left Tula a short distance from Mexico City, and has sone to Huichapan, in Hidalgo state, 100 miles away. Villaista officials at Juarez declined to explain this movement, although they had official messages confirming it. They denied rumors that Villa has had a disagreement with General Bmiliano Zapata and that this caused him to leave the vicinity of the capi- tal. Several trainloads of Villa’s troops have already joined the Zapataistas in the capital, however, which would seem to discredit these reports. MRS. BLAKE GETS DIVORCE Was Plaintiff in Million-Dollar Suit Against Mrs. Mackay. Winsted, Conn., Nov. 30.—Mrs. Cath- erine Ketcham Blake obtained a di- vorce here from Dr. Joseph A. Blake, “a prominent physician of New York and Litchfleld. The decree was hased on desertion. Mrs. Blake began an action for $1- 000,000 against Mrs. Katherine Duer Mackay, wife of Clarence H. Mackay; president of the Postal Telegraph- Cable company, in September, 1913, charging -alienation of the affections of Dr. Blake. Atter proceedings had been carried on in and out of court for several weeks the suit was dropped, as also was a second suit in which Mrs. Blake sought a separation and $1,500 a month alimony. +Dr. Blake now is in Paris. Since the beginning of the war he has been in charge of the American hospital there. Since Mrs. Blake began her first ac- tion Mr. and Mrs. Mackay also have been divorced.

Amsterdam, Nov. 30.—The néws- paper Maasbode publishes a Berlin telegram giving the latest word from the besieged city of Przemysl, in Galicia. It was received in Vienna by pigeon post and says: “We are doing very well.

STOCK EXCHANGE AGAIN RESUMES Limited Operations on the New York Market. LITTLE SLUMP IN PRICES Expected Selling Pressure Fails to Materialize and Trading in Bonds Moves Along Quietly With Mixture of Gains and Losses. New York, Nov. 30.—The New York Stock Exchange resumed operations in a tentative way for the first time since July 30 last, when the foreign situation, already tense, caused the cession of business of all the leading financial markets of the world. Trad- ing was restricted to bonds, for which in all instances mihimum prices .were established. All transactions were for cash and every effort was made to exclude for- eign selling. The attendance on the floor of the exchange when the gong sounded was unusually large. The sound brought cheers from the bro- kers. Thereafter business went on in the usual orderly fashion. There was little business at the outset of the session. The first trans- action recorded was the sale of five bonds of the United States Steel cor- poration at 99%, a decline of 134 from the closing price of July 30. The next transaction was the sale of five bonds of Distillers’ Securities 5's at 56, an advance of 3%. Decline From First Prices. There were other sales of Steel and Distillers and other issues at de- clines from the first recorded price. The largest single transaction was the sale of twenty St. Paul general mortgage 4%%’s at a decline of 2%. After the first fifteen minutes trad- ing lapsed into extreme dullness, with a mixture of gains and losses. St. Paul convertable 41.'s were up 1%, while Southern Pacific convertible 4's gained %. In United States gov- ernment issues bid prices were down L to 2 points, with an actual sale of registered 4's at a decline of 1%. Selling pressure about which there had been so much apprehension did not appear during the first hour, much to the satisfaction of the financial dis- trict. Instead many brokers said they have commissions to buy five or six bonds against every one they have to sell. The total business for the session amounted to $644,000 par value, with $5,000 in government bonds. KILLS BRIDE . WOUNDS SELF Jealousy Probable Cause of Tragedy in Minneapolis. Minneapolis, Nov. 30.—Apparently deranged by jealousy, Frank Brown, a traveling salesman, murdered his bride of seven weeks and fatally wounded himself. The couple came to Minneapolis about a month ago. ‘When the police were called to the scene of the tragedy they found Mrs. Brown dead in a chair at the table. Brown lay wounded on the floor be- side her. The couple had apparent- ly just finished lunch. Blood stains on the bed clothes in- dicated that she first was fired on as she lay on the bed. The woman is believed to have jumped up from the bed and seated herself at the table nursing the wound. Three more shots were then fired at her, two taking ef- fect in the chest and one passing through the heart. Brown himself is wounded in the chest. WILSON ON SUFFRAGE AGAIN Says Change Would Be Too Far Ahead of Public Opinion. ‘Washington, Nov. 30.—President Wilson again defined his position >n woman suffrage in a letter to Miss Mary M. Childs, a government em- ploye here, reiterating that he be- lieved the question to be a state is- sue. “T am deeply impressed with the woman suffrage question,” wrote the president, “but T believe it can best be worked out by state, rather than by attempting a change in the funda- mental law of the nation. Such a change would run too far and too fast ahead of the general public opinion of the country.” The president will see a delegation of suffragists in the near future.
