Situation is Southern Republic | ( Growing ‘Worse. to MR. LIND NOT REASSURED { Constitutionalists Seem to Be Gaining .Converts Rapidly—Many Rumors of Plots Against the Huerta Administration. Vera Cruz, Sept. 13.—The passage through this port under the eyes of the authorities of men of prominence whose intention presumably is to join the rebels, the increased activiay of the rebels in southern Vera Cruz and Capeche, the discovery of plots in Vera Cruz and rumors of plots undis- covered, together with new dissensions in President Huerta’s capinet, which have resulted in resignations, are de- velopments in the Mexican situation which have not reassured John Lind, President Wilson's personal represent- ative, that there has been improvement in the general situation. Mr. Lind had two long conversa- tions with men who are supposed to be well informed, but their informa- tion was of the usual pessimistic char- acter. On board the Ward line steamer Mexico, which sailed for Tampico, Ha- vana and New York, was the consti- tutional governor of the state of Hi- dalgo, Pedro Rosales, Senor Rosales has been summoned to the City of Mexico and told to ask for leave of absence in order that he might be succeeded by a military governor. He said he explained to President Huerta that-he had been elected to office legally, and asked time to think over the proposition made to him, He is one of the richest men in his state. Forty Americans inthe state of Ta- basco have been forced by rebels into - the town of Frontera and have ap- pealed for a ship to take them away. The rebels are reported to have cap- tured towns a short distance from Frontera to a considerable distance into the interior of the state. With the exception of eight or ten, the Americans in Frontera are refugees from plantations, which are’ overrun with rebels, Official dispatches from Tampico say that 300 Amreicans in that dis- trict have left as a result of the warn- ing of President Wilson. The exodus through Vera Cruz is diminishing, “Americans Insulted There.” El Paso, Tex., Sept. 13.—‘An Ameri- can cannot walk along the streets of the City of Mexico without being in- sulted by natives,” said James L. Black, a mine owner in the state of Caxaca, who just arrived here, “They push Americans into the street and when protest is made they laugh at them and oftentimes spit in their faces, It is unsafe for an American woman to go on the streets even with an escort without fear of insults from the Mexicans. The Americans are helpless as the police will do nothing to assist them.” ANOTHER GAS CONFERENCE State. Utilities Commissions of Mis- souri and Kansas to Meet in Kansas City. Topeka, Sept. 13—The Kansas and Missouri public utilities commissions will have a conference with the mayors of the cities of the two states which use natural gas supplied by the Kansas Natural Gas Company in Kan- sas City, late this month. John M. Atkinson, chairman of the Missouri commission, has sent a letter to the Kansas commission asking for a conference which may lead to joint action by the commissions of the two states and the cities using gas toward getting an adequate supply of natural gas for use this winter. Mr. Atkin- son said that his commission had just been notified that there could be no hope of an adequate supply of gas if gas were used in the Missouri cities for heating purposes and that there might be a sufficient supply for cook- ing and lighting alone.

The Former Agent Denounced in a Three-Hour Address Before House Committee. Washington, Sept. 16.—The defense of the National Association of Man- ufacturers to the charges of a check- ered and improper political career in Washington and elsewhere,. made by its former “lobbyist,” Martin M. Mul- hall, was concluded by James A Emery, chief agent of the association in the capital, For nearly three hours Emery ad- dressed the house lobby committee. He made a detailed denial of Mulhall's charges that the association packed congressional committees: that it rode rough shod over those members who opposed its legislative will; that it campaigned with frequency and at great expense to elect its favored con- gressional friends,.and that it spent several hundred thousand dollars in “lobby work” viroueh Mulhall him- self. With impassioned oratory, Emery declared that the association never tried improperly to influence legisla- tion. He pointed to_the testimony of Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, before the committee, to show that the N. A. M. merely opposed the ideas of labor favoring legislation which Mr. Gompers’ unions campaigned so vig- orously to get from congress. Referring to Mulhall himself, Emery surpassed in condemnation any of the public men who have taken the stand in the investigation to attack the lob- byist’s remarkable story. “The evidence before this commit- tee conclusively demonstrates that the character of Mulhal! destroys right to believe him, nor is his writ- ten word worth more than his oral statement,” said he. “By his own testimony against that of his letters, by the falsity of their contents, proved by independent wit- nesses; by the deception, treachery and falsehood that underlies every re- lation of his life, he is utterly un- worthy of belief. “Dismissed from his employment two years ago, he undertook to betray his employers while still in their pay to representatives of organized labor, and while pleading for reinstatement he was manufacturing evidence vili- fying former benefactors. By the evidence which he has himself pro- duced he portrays himself as assail- ing with incredible partiality those for whom he professes gratitude equally with those who are the evi- dent objects of malicious and long plotted revenge.” WIFE OF SCIENTIST KILLED Mrs. Eva Gottschaulk, Formerly of Kansas City, Victim of Explo- sion in Laboratory. Perth Amboy, N. J., Sept. 16.—Mrs. Eva Gottschaulk, wife of Dr. Louis Gottschaulk, a scientific experimenter and discoverer of Sewaren, was killed instantly by an explosion of a steel tube filled with chemicals in the sci- entis laboratory. _Mrs. Gottschaulk went to look at the temperature of the gauge.

Railroads, pending the outcome of ap- peals, had gone on charging the high- er rates. One of the obstacles in the way of the laws going into effect immediate- ly after passage was an’ injunction granted by Judge McPherson. The mandate of the federal supreme court. in accordance with which he is to is- Sue the decree which was postponed. dismisses this injunction and orders the rates into effect. The mandate says nothing about recovery of over- charges and the attorneys for the state utilities commission, represent- ing the patrons of the roads, asked that in the court's order formally es- tablishing the rates set by law a clause be inserted giving the right to sue for refunds. 2 The motion for the refund clause Started the battle that lasted from the time the proceedings opened at 10:30 o'clock in the morning until they closed shortly after 2 o'clock. Instead of a mere entering of the for- mal decree, the matter became a con- test between an imposing array of legal talent. Hence the decision to take up the question when the court has time to hear it threshed out in full by both sides.

They should receive every care and attention to put them in tip-top-condition. Second-growth pasture is fine for sheep. If the pastures are short, a liberal supply of grain should be given. Old ewes, and inferior ones, should be fattened and sold for mutton. An inferior ewe should never be sold to an uninformed person as a breeder. Keep the sheep uniform in type and size. Look for vigor in the ram you pro- pose to use. If he has not gotit, turn him off and get one that has. If you are working for lots of mut- ton, use a good, large, meaty ram. Wool of good quality, quantity and texture grows only on the backs of thrifty sheep. You can mate a young sheep, butit is not so well to do it as to wait till ram and ewe are well developed. Let the flock harvest the small tur- nips, after the main crop is'stored. The earliest lambs bring the high- est price; but it will not pay in the colder states to raise March lambs, unless every convenience is at hand. —Mail and Breeze. Hints. From the Republic.
