— $PAGE TWO. MAY CONTINUETO RETAIN POWER Huerta Will Declare Mexican Election Illegal. FEW VOTERS AT POLLS Returns Indicate That Less Than Five Thousand Votes Were Cast, Al-) though There Are Three Million Persons Eligible to the Franchise. Mexico City, Oct. 28—Returns from @he Mexican election showed that less | than 5,000 votes were cast in the fed- eral election, including this city,| where there are 80,000 voters. In spite of the meager voting it was expected that the congressional | ‘candidates, with the approval of Gen-| ral Huerta, would declare themselves elected and their first act, it was de- ‘«clared, would be to declare the presi- dential election void, because the to tal vote cast was not enough to make @ constitutional majority for any can- didate. They are then expected to “request” Huerta to remain president ad in- terim until another election can be} held, which will be when Huerta chooses. The stumbling block to this | program is in Huerta calling the con- gressional election legal while declar- ing the presidential election void, while the same ballot was used in| both. | Those knowing Huerta say a little! thing like that will not feaze him. | ‘The Mexican constitution sets forth ‘that there are approximately 3,000,- | 000 voters in the republic and that | one-third of them must vote to make | an election binding. | The Diaz leaders and the Catholic | party, of which Frederico Gamboa was the candidate, requested their parti-| sans not to vote. Few of them did. Early returns showed that very few ‘votes in the federal district were cast | for Huerta and Blanquet. In some polling places no votes were cast all day, and it was report- ed that at several voting tables even the election officials failed to show. Huerta has issued a decree raising the federal army from 80,000 to 150,- 000. It is said that conscription will | be necessary to carry out this order. ELECTION DAY IS PEACEFUL Expected Disorders in Mexico Fail to Materialize. Washington, Oct. 28—The admin- istration was all primed for a disas- trous explosion in Mexico on election day, but it got a “fizzer.” There was no serious rioting re- ported south of the Rio Grande. For- eigners were not molested. And, so far as this government is concerned, there was no election. All advices here agree that no can- idate for the Mexican presidency re- | ecived a majority of all votes cast. And not even a majority of the reg- istered voters went to the polls to record their choice. Under the Mexican constitution this means that there was no election for president and vice president. Huerta will be indefinitely dictator. On next Sunday he will have a con- gress that will do his will. That is the one thing that stands out most €learly from the mass of dispatches from the consulates and embassy in Mexico. There is one thing that is causing most concern in the situation. Huerta ‘will dictate his policies to a national legislative body that will be most anxious to please him. Will Increase Army to 150,000. It will increase his army from 80,- 000 to 150,000, or as much more as | the dictator may wish. It will uphold fim in every action he may wish to take. And it will, if necessary, op- | pose all measures taken by this gov- ernment to restore peace in Mexico. This government is not expected to accept the result of the election. There is to be no recognition of Huer- ta and no attention paid to a minority congress. But whether the presi- dent’s expected action in issuing his statement regarding the Monroe doc- trine will materialize this week will depend upon the diplomatic corps in Mexico City. This diplomatic corps will get to- gether this week. It is expected to suggest a plan for action by the United States in Mexico. If this sug- gestion is along the line of the pres- ent policies the president may decide that there is no necessity for any forther dictation from the United States.

Washington, Oct. 28.—Attorneys for Samuel Gompers and the other labor Jeaders, under sentence for contempt of court, have asked the supreme court to advance the case for early hearing. SENATOR KENYON. Author of Bill Wiping Out Washington’s Red Light District. KENYON BILL GOES THROUGH Eliminates Segregation Rule for Wash. ington. Washington, Oct. 28.—The Kenyon bill to eliminate Washington’s segre- gated district was passed by the sen- ate and now goes to the house, where it failed in the last congress. It fol- lows the Des Moines plan for injunc- tions against owners of property used for immoral purposes and makes them liable for the abatement of disorderly places as nuisances. “As in many other cities,” Senator Kenyon said, urging the passage of the bill, “these disorderly places are owned by prominent and wealthy men who receive inordinately high rents. It is through these men that the rem- edy should come.” BODIES OF VICTIMS PROMPTLY BURIED ‘In Very Bad Condition When Taken From Colliery. Dawson, N. M., Oct. 28.—One hun- dred and thirty-two victims of the Stag Canyon mine No. 2 disaster have been buried. The major portion of the bodies now being recovered are in such condition that they cannot be shipped or laid out in the morgue for public funeral service as was the case with the first two score. Health officers are using vigilance to see that the sanitation of the town is not impaired. Rescue men who bring the bodies from the mine are subject- ed to disinfectants after each trip. Bodies are taken quietly to the ceme- | tery directly from the temporary morgue at the mine and if identifica- tion is possible members of the dead miner’s families are not permitted to | view them. It is expected that all bodies not buried beneath the wreckage will have been brought to the surface shortly, as nothing probably will delay the work. Danger from fire passed when air currents were directed into every room of the workings and no smolders were discovered. Helmets still must be used by the advance rescue crews, but only as a matter of extreme pre- caution. Mining work in mine No. 4 has been resumed and it will be a matter of days only until conditions in the min- ing camp assume a normal aspect. Government mine experts will re- main in Dawson for two or three weeks in an effort to determine posi- tively the cause and nature of the dis- aster. he Heke ete fo de ole oho fe foefe ah he fe ae fe COW CAUSES DEATH OF SIX LABORERS.

GRAND RAPLDS HERsLD-REVIEW MORALITY T0 BE WILSON’S GUIDE President Announces Foreign | Relations Rule. DAY OF CONQUEST PAST Says United States is Not Seeking ; | Additional Territory and Attacks | “Material interests” for Interfering | in Internal Affairs of Other Coun- | tries. Mobile, Ala., Oct. 28.—President Wilson announced to the world that the governing motive of the United States in its relationships with the countries of this hemisphere would be “morality and not expediency.” | “I want to take this occasion to say,” he declared, “that the United States will not seek again to secure | one additional foot of territory by conquest.” | The president in a speech before the Southern Commercial congress de- livered a veiled attack on what he termed “the material interests” that had influenced the foreign policy of some governments in their relations with the nations of Latin-America. Though Mr. Wilson did not mention Mexico as the afflicted country he de- voted his entire speech to a descrip- tion of the degrading influences which foreign concessionaires had had upon the internal affairs of some of the Latin-American countries. With the Mexican situation upper- most in the president’s mind at this time his address was interpreted as an arraignment of those financial in- fluences which, it has been charged, have secured in some cases recogni- titon for the Huerta government. The president in his speech declared that it would be the duty of the United States to assist the nations of this hemisphere in an “emancipation” from “the material interests of other | nations,” so that they might enjoy con- Stitutional liberty unrestrained. gift of speaking for herself. here because I would speak of our | present and prospective relations with | our neighbors to the south. The fu- ture is going to be very different for this hemisphere from the past. Bound in Ties of Sympathy. “Those states lying to the south which have always been our neighbors will be drawn closer to each other by common ties of understand- ing. Interests do not tie nations to- gether, but sometimes separate them. Sympathy and understanding do bind them together. “In the future,” he continued, “the rations to the south of us will draw closer and closer to us because of these circumstances of which I am speaking. We must prove ourselves their friends and champions on terms of equality and honor. We can’t be fast friends on any other terms than those of equality. “And we must show ourselves friends by comprehending their in- terests whether they square with our interests or not. It is a very perilous thing to determine a foreign policy in terms of material interests. It is indeed a degrading thing.” One of the features of the enter- tainment of President Wilson was a trip up and down the harbor. As the revenue cutter Windom with the presi- dent and party aboard proceeded up the harbor a steamer flying the Mex- ican flag was noticed lying near a British freighter. No acknowledgment of the pres- ence of the president of the United States was shown by the Mexican ves- — sel. The British steamer dipped her flag as the revenue cutter passed. EVERYBODY {S CONFIDENT Predictions of Victory Come From Rival Camps in Massachusetts. Boston, Oct. 27.—Predictions of vic- tory in the state election Nov. 4 came from rival camps. Chairman Riley of the Democratic state com- mittee issued a statement in which he said: “Observers who know every side of the political situation unanimously ad- mit that Lieutenant Governor Walsh will be elected governor by a plurality estimated at 40,000.” Governor Foss, who is running for re-election as an independent, an- nounced: “I never was more confident of vic- tory in my life.” In attacks upon his candidacy by both the old parties Charles Sumner Bird, head of the Progressive ticket, declared in a statement that he saw signs of victory. While the headquarters of Congress: man A. H. Gardner, the Republicas candidate, gave out no official predic tion, strong confidence of success was expressed by his supporters.

Cummins, whose conviction for grand larceny in connection with the Car negie Trust company failure was re- cently upheld by the court of appeals, was committed to the Tombs prison and the execution of his sentence of four to eight years in Sing Sing de ferred for a week.

DEAD MAN INTEMPERATE Witness Declares She Became Wife of Retired Naval Officer Only When She Saw He Was Going to Kill Him- self by Excessive Drinking. Plymouth, Mass., Oct. 28.—Mrs. Jen- nie May Eaton resumed the stand for cross-examination in her trial for the murder of her husband, Rear Admiral Baton. At the suggestion of the dis- trict attorney Medical Examiner Gil- man T. Osgood of Rockford sat at a table in plain view of the defendant. Dr. Osgood, who has devoted much time to a study of insanity, jotted down notes of his observations of the witness. Attorney Morse asked Mrs. Eaton a single question before District At- torney Barker began his cross-ex- amination. “Did you know that your husband’s income stopped with his death?” quer- ied Mr. Morse. “I did,” Mrs. Eaton replied. Under the questioning of the prose- cutor Mrs. Eaton repeated her story regarding her early life, her marriage to her first husband, D. H. Ainsworth, and her separation from him and of her meeting with Admiral Eaton. Married Him to Save His Life. The admiral was very intemperate, she said, but under her care he drank considerably less and finally asked her to become his wife. “It was only when I saw that he was going to kill himself that I decided to marry him,” she said. “Then you married him to save his life?” asked Mr. Barker. “Yes, I married him to save his life,” replied Mrs. Eaton. Her divorce from Ainsworth and her marriage to Admiral Haton again were recounted by the witness. Soon after their marriage her husband gave her $30,000, all of which she returned to him later. She did not know that $30,000 came ‘from the first Mrs. Eaton, nor that the admiral had $40,- 000 when he married the second time. Mrs. Eaton denied that she tried, through Dr. C. H. Colgate, to have the admiral committed to an asylum. She thought her husband appeared pecu- | liar and she merely wished to have ; him examined. He was under the in- | fluence of drugs at the time. /REFUSES TO HURRY THAW Governor Felker Asserts New Pro. ceedings Now Necessary. | Concord, N. H., Oct. 28.—Governor Felker said that, an indictment hav- | ing been found against Harry K. Thaw ,in New York county, the papers on | file with him are invalidated and that | there will have to be another proceed- “The defense will have all the time it needs to meet the new issues,” he said, “and can proceed through oral | argument or by brief, as counsel may desire. I think, though, that the lat- ter course will be better. I am dis- | Posed to give Thaw all the time he needs so that when I dispose of the case I can do so after a consideration of all the facts.” Counsel for Thaw are already pre- paring to ask Governor Felker for an extension of time to meet the new is- sues. The main question that will be raised is the legality of the indictment of an insane person.
