This is the latest report brought from the presi- jent’s office and It is said to have been President Huerta's intimation to Arch- bishop Mora and others who have been using their good offices to induce him to eliminate himself from. the situa- tion. Many persons, however, familiar with the idiosyncrasies of the pres- ident declare that his resignation at any time would be no surprise to them. New Message from Wilson.

STRENGTHENING PATROL. Preparations Made by United States for Battle at Ojinaga. Washington, Jan. 9 Prolongation | of the revolution in Mexlco is believed by the oMcials here to depend lfley upon the measure of success attained by General Huerta in the execution of his schme for the enforced circulation of state bank notes. They think the in ‘Make Almost Any Other PERSONNEL OF CABINET real test of the popular support of the Huerta government will be found in the manner in which the Mexican bus- iness interests receive this latest move. In preparation for another great bat- tle between the Mexicans _in the neighborhood of Ojinaga, Brigadier General Bliss, commanding the Amer- ican border forces, is strengthening the patrol at that point and prepara- tions are being made on a large scale to receive and care for the many ref- ugees who are expectd to cross the boundary. Under BSecretary Garrison's orders the troops of either side, if defeated in battle, are privileged to find refuge in Texas. Consequently the Ameri- can forces are facing a serious mili- tary problem which may involve not only the disarming of several thou- sand troops, but their subsequent “de- tention” which is the latest army term for the internment prescribed by in- (ermtiq-n:.l law.

All these except ’s men rep- resent reinforcements from Chihuahua sent after the failure of General Or- tega to take Ojinaga after six days of fighting. Opposing to the advancing army are 4,000 federals under nine generals. The federal generals were inclined to believe the rebls would not b in a position to begin an attack for sev- eral days. Nevertheless construction of eferises proceeded actively. General A SACRED RELIC STOLEN FROM NEW HAVEN CHURCH. | Casket Containing Venerated Finger Bone Disappears. ew Haven, Conn, Jan. 3—The parish of St. Louis’ French Roman Catholic church *here, was greatly atirred today when it became known that the reliquary of the church had been broken open, and a small gilded Containing a piece of finger Venerated as a relic of St. Anne, Leen stolen. Discovery of the desecration made the fore part of the week but news of it was with~ held while the church authrities and police’ began seeking a clue to |its whereabouts and the identity of lthe desecrators. Up to the present time, however, they have been unsuccessful. | The rélic, said to be one of three in the state, and regarded as a rare treasure, had been in the church for thirteen years, and was the object of veneration not only by Roman Catho- lics in this city, but in other parts of state, by many of whom it was be- lieved to have specific powers of heal- ing. It was secured in Rome by a former pastor of the church.

AFRICAN STRIKERS USING DYNAMITE. Several Attempts to Blow Up Trains— The Situation Grave.

Let the truth be known about your business. The only man who should not adyertise is the one who has nothing to offer in way of serv: ice, or ome who cannot make good. All such should seek the friendly shelter of oblivion, where dwell those who, shroud- ed in Stygian shades, foregather gloom, and are out of the game. Not to advertise is to be nomi nated for membership in the Down-and-out elub, The idea of the “ethical den- t15t” who refrains from adver- tising was originally founded on the proposition derived from the medicos that advertising was takery. This view once had a certain basis in fact, when the only people who advertised were transients. The merchant who lived fn a town assumed that every one Lnew where he was and what he had to offer. The doctor the same. This no longer applies. We are living so fast, and inventing £0 fast, and changing so fast, and there are so many of us, that he who-does not advertise is left to the spiders, the cockroaches and the microbes, The fact that you have all the business you can well manage is no excuse now for not advertis- ing. The reputation that endures, or the institution that lasts, is the one that is properly advertised. Advertising is fast becoming a fine art. Its theme is Human Wants, and- where, when and how they may be gratified. It interests, inspires, educates sometime amuses—informs and thereby uplifts and benefits, lub- ricating existence and helping the old world on its way to the Celestial City of Fine Minds.

The proposed bonds carried an option of exchange for stock at par after five years from date. The opinion of the court which was unanimous, was written by Chief Jus- tice Rugg. It said in part: Text of Decision. “The approval by the commission of an issue of stock must relate to the present and not to a remote fu- ture. This Is required by the legis- lative intent disclosed by the review of the statutes, “The amount commission intelligengly to be issued is inseparable from the price at which it is to be issued. The price at which the public interest may Tequire that it mav be jssued during & period of ten vears beginning five years hence ig impossible of ascertain- ment now. But the approval of con- vertible debentures with the right to take stock at par in payment during that period involves fixing a price of the stock during the like period. An order entered now that stock be issued at par during that period of time can afford no security that the corporation will get an adequate return for its stock, or that rates and charges fixed upon such a capitalization will be fair or that the rights of other stockholders will be guarded properly. Approval Order Not Within Its Power. “The mandatory requirement of the Statute that the commission shall base its decision as to the amount of stock to be issued upon the prices at which it is to be put out is inconsistent with the underlying idea of & convertible bond such as is proposed in the pres- of which the can_approve toek ent proceeding. It has been argued with earnestness that a convertible debenture has become highly desir: able in view of present conditlons. This, however, is a_matter rather for legisiative than judicial consideration. “Ne request has been made for the approval of an issue of bonds with- out the convertible-into-stock feature. Apparently no vote has been passed by the stockholders for an inssuance of that kind.
