Hendrix and others to pre- vent the Atlantic Coast Line from building its proposed freizht station on the site where work has been com- | menced. The objections urged are| that the erection of the station on the site proposed would be injurious| to the value of property in the vicin- ity and would necessitate additional | tracks across Florida avenue. Work on the railroad improvements has been stopped as a consequence, and the matter may be indefinitely held up. \sked as to the status of the mat- ter, Superintendent J. F. Council stated that the railrowd had started to make improvements to the value of $100,000, besides greatly beautl- fying the grounds contiguous, a por- | tion of which was to be turned over to the city as a park.

Mr. Council intimated that the op-| position to the railroad’s plans might result in an indefinite post- ponement of any change in the | freight terminals, or a removal of‘ these terminals to a point removed | come distance from the present loca- | tion. The turn affairs have taken i8 viewed with regret by many citizens, | and it is not improbable that some‘ action will be undertaken to recon- cile the conflicting interests and | bring about a satisfactory and amic- | 2ble adjustment.

' THE MEXICAN PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION Mexico City, Mex., Oct. 24.— The preridential election which takes place throuzhout Mexico next Sunday is a matter of grave moment | throughout the republic. The chlnf figure in the contest, next to Presi- ‘dent Huerta, is Senor Frederica Gam- boa, minister of foreign affuirs and nominee of the Catholic party. The fact that Mexico recently obtained a foreign loan ‘of over $2,000,000] through the influence of the Cath- olics, makes Gamboa’s chance doubly sure. In addition, he has the sup- port of the present administration, Since Huerta conld not have the himself, because of the 'conditions of the provisional gov- ernment, no candidate could be more satisfactory to him that Senor Gam- boa. The anti-Catholics, who are in favor of separating the church and| State, vant for presdent Gen.

The Mexican government has been noti- fied that no cognizance will be tak- en of the clection, but Gamboa, it is reported, will pot receive even the conrtesy that has been accorded to Huerta. Diplomats of foreign coun- tries in Washington are daily dis- cussing the sitnation, but, of course, not for publication. Far more im- portant than the Mexican situation and the effect of the administration’s attitude, in the opinion of many in Washington familiar with the de- tails, is the ultimate effect the step will have on the Monroe doctrine. It has always been a cardinal prin- cipal of that doctrine, it is pointed out, that in affairs of this hemis- phere the United States must be su- preme, must exercise the controlling | hand and must do so without Eu- ropean assistance or interference. ('lose observers here declare that this element of the Hoctrine has now been impaired and that European coun- tries have been given a voice in a .atin-American matter which, under all prior construction of the Monroe doctrine, should have been handled by America alone. They assert that European powers have literally been invited to a sphere which for nearly a hundred years American diplomacy has steadfastly and successfully fouzht to keep exclusively American. Observers here feel that it must be with keen gatisfaction that, Euro- pean powers have obtained this plum irnr their archives.
