TO COST $2500 A DAY United States Has Already Expended . $150,000 in This Way—Huerta Gov- ernment Ceased to Reimburse Us. Washington, Jan, 19.—The kindly treatment accorded’ the Mexican fed- eral refugees from Ojinaga »ny the American government has excited deep gratitude among the people of Mon- terey and vicinity and has done much to encourage the belief that the United States is really friendly to the Mexican Dpeople, according to a report to the state department today from Consul Hanna. Care of the uninvited guests is prov- ing costly and today the officials of the state and war gcplrtmi‘nt‘s ‘were casting about for means to defray the expenses of maintaining these thou- sands of strangers. Even before the evacuation of Ojinaga the United | States government had expended about | $150,000 for the keep of Mexicans un- der detention and with the Ojinaga fugitives added the dally bill' will amount to some $25,000. For a time the Huerta government regularly re- mitted the money to pay for feeding the refugees interned at Fort Rose- crans and Brownsville, but the pay- ments stopped some time ago because of the exhausted condition of the Mex- ican treasury, Congress to Be Asked for Money.

FISHER CLOSE SECOND Friends of the Professor to Ask for a Recount—Fight May Be Made Over 34 Rejected Ballots—Fisher il Middietown, Conn., Jan. 19.—The Darrow marsin of ten votes, out of 1,806 cast, decided Middletown’s three cornered mayoralty fight today, when Frank A. Coles, republican, was chosen mayor, defeating his nearest opponent, ex-Mayor Willard C. Fisher, formerly a Wesleyan professor and now a lec- turer at Harvard, by a vote or 699 to 689. Dr. James A. Lawton, the dem- gcratic candidete, who defeated Pro- fessor Fisher at the caucus, was third in the race, with 418 votes, Recount to Be Demanded, The republicans elected five mem- bers of the court of common council and the democrats four. With hold- overs, this gives the republicans com- plete control of the city government, twelve to four. Former Democratic Alderman James F. Connery, who was chairman of the citizens' ticket, which Professor Fish- er headed, declared tonight that the citizens’ party would demand a recount of the votes. Shortly after the result was officially announced the retiring mayor, John L. Fisk, democrat, admin- istered the oath of office to Mr. Coles. Feeling Ran High. Of all the stormy elections and po- litical disturbances thet this city has encountered, today’s election, probably takes first rank. While the feeling Wwas not as bitter as in Some elections s far as “mud-slinging” was con- cerned—the feeling ran high and in- tense interest was aroused, Professor Fisher has twice been mayor of the city and was once before defeated for the office, the votes in each instance being extremely close. He was defeated for the democratic nomination this year by less than twenty Votes and then he decided to head the citizens' ticket. The repub- licans had a red hot caucus fight also, Mr, Coles winning by 18 votes. 34 Ballots Rejected. The appearance of prominent state labor leaders here in behalf of Pro- fessor Fisher, injected interest in the fight, as well as an unsuccessful at- tempt to secure the invalidation of the citizens’ ticket. The polls werg ciosed at two o'clock today, as. custorffary, but it was well along after six before the result was unofficially known, so close was the vote. Thirty-four ballots were re- jected by the moderator and the cit- izens' party claims that these would have elected Professor Fisher. Prof. Fisher Taken il To add to the excitement, Professor Fisher was stricken suddenly ill dur- ing the day and was removed to his home. It was at first feared that he was threatened with pneumonia, but his_physician sald tonight that he is suffering only from a severe attack of the grip and would be all right with a few days' rest. Professor Fisher learned the result of the election on his sick bed, but had no comment to offer. KILLED WIFE TO WED HIS STEP-DAUGHTER Girl Tells of Her Part ing Homil in a Revolt- Galesburg, Tls, Jan 19.—Robert Higgins confessed today ‘that he mur- dered his wife at New Henderson, Ills. January 5, so that he would be free to marry his stepdaughter, Julla Flake, | 15 years old. He was arrested after the girl told State's Attorney John M, Wilson of her infatuation for Higgins and that she importuned him to dispose of her mother who, she said, was the only obstacle between her and happiness.

A settlement was reached only after Mr. Hanger had suggested to the com- pany officials that they yield to the demands of the men. Arbitration, he | declared, was impossible.
