•o 0u. i. on of John Purroy Mitchel,
o collector of customs for iNe.v
iork, was accepted by the President
esterday afternoon. Mr. Mitchel
was president of the board of aider
men of the city when he was nomt
ated to succeed Collector Loeb last
spring. His recent election as
:ayor of New York necessitated his
retiring from a federal position.
President Wilson sent the name of
Dudley Malone to the Senate as col
lector to succeed Mr. Mitchel.
NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—For sev
eral months past an arbitration
commission has been taking testi
mony and looking into the labor
conditions on the Eastern railroads.
The several hundred thousand em
ployees had made a demand for in
creased wages, which was strenu
ously opposed by the railroad offi
cials. This morning the commission
reached a conclusion and granted
the employees an increase in wages
of seven per cent.
ROME, Nov. 11.—Bluejackets on
the battleships Utah, Delaware, Ver
mont and Ohio have been robbed of
$12,000. This money they entrusted
to a former bandmaster on the
Utah, named Camerazzo. He dissi
pated the funds and disappeared.
The jackies on the various ships
have arranged to have an audience
w’ith the Pope.
SEATTLE, Nov. 11.—There are
two organizations of the Arctic
Brotherhood and what is known as
the original lodge is holding its
annual session in this city, the first
meeting having been held this morn
ing. When the grand lodge ad
journed last fall at Vancouver, after
having decided to meet this year at
Seattle, there was much dissatisfac
tion evidenced. Many contended
that as the organization was strictly
Alaskan its meetings should not be
held beyond the confines of the ter
ritory. As a result various lodges
sent delegates to a convention held
at Juneau last spring, when a prac
tically new organization was ef
ected. At the present convention
efforts ■will be made to draw the two
organizations together.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 11.—Hundreds
of good roads advocates from all
parts of the country are now in this
city. This morning the good roads
convention opened and it promises
to be one of the most interesting
conventions ever held by the organi
zation. A number of prominent men
will deliver papers upon various sub
jects concerning the building and
maintenance of good roads.
PARIS, Nov. 11.—That Japan is
backing Mexico in her belligerent at
titude towards the United States and
that the latter country is “afraid of
Mexico” are some of the intimations
constantly finding expression here.
Americans living in Paris find it
hard to understand the attitude of
the French press on the American
policy in Mexico, unless they accept
the explanation given by the Mexi
can Constitutionalists here who as
sert that the Huerta government has
spent $300,000 to create in the
newspapers anti-American articles.
They point out that Japan had the
sympathy of Europe when she Im
mediately threatened war on China
because three Japanese were killed
at Nanking in the clash between gov
ernment troops and rebels, yet Am
ericans have been insulted, killed
and mistreated all over a long period
in Mexico. Geraldo Murillo, editor
of ‘ The Mexcan Revolution” printed
here as the organ of the Constitu
tionalists, told the correspondent:
“It is only fair to say that President
Wilson has shown remarkable for
bearance. Had Mexico been in
Europe the great powers of the old
world would have Intervened long
ago.” Says the “Echo de Paris,” one
of the most serious of the French
morning papers:
“President Wilson has declared
that he 1b ‘unalterably opposed to
any government in Mexico irregu
larly established,’ by ambitious poli
ticians. Why has the new prosident
so declared himself? His declara
tion really means that Mexico is to
be turned over to anarchy or else is
to suffer from the unfriendliness of
the United States. Is President Wil
son merely ignorant of American
conditions? On the part of his Secre
tary of State, M. Bryan, all the ig
norances are possible. All hypothese
are permissible, but this is certain:
All roads in the United States lead
to intervention. Stronger than the
words of politicians is an irresistable
force inclining the United States
towards the absorption of Mexico
and Central America."
