HOOSIER WILL NOT GET MEXICAN PLUM

Ticklish Job of Ambassador To Go To Some One Schooled in LatinAmerican Character. Some time before the death of John E. Lamb, of Terre Haute, and prior to the withdrawal of all diplomatic relations with Mexico, Mr. Lamb was to have been made the United States ambassador to that country. Then followed the withdrawal of our diplomats and the employment of the special agent plan and also the death of Mr. Lamb. Now that the country has recognized Carranzd and is planning to stock Mexico with diplomats again, it was expected that some Hoosier would fill the jdb of ambassador, a promise that Secretary Bryan had made to Senator Kern. But President Wilson and Secretary Lansing have decided that the job in Mexico City is going to he a rather ticklish one for a time and that a schooled Latin-American diplomat is needed and it is probable that one of the representatives of the U. S. in South America will he transferred to the job. Thus is Indiana left out of consideration and there is a deficit in Hoosier federal patronage. This, however, will be made up by a few jobs of less importance and Senator Kern called at the white house Friday to discuss these matters with the president.

CHARLES RHOADES BACK FROM NEW YORK

Helped Train Ballet Girls and Witnesses First Performance of “A World of Pleasure.” Earle Reynolds and Nellie Donegan are the >iggest attraction in New York. Charles Rhoades, Jr., who for five weeks helped Mr. Reynolds train the ballet girls to do a roller skating act to fill in the Reynolds & Donegan act in “A World of Pleasure,” returned to Rensselaer Friday night and will reenter high school. He Bad a fine trip, a splendid experience and saw some of the pleasures of the greatest metropolis on the western hemisphere. “A World of Pleasure” opened what is expected to be a thirty weeks’ run at the Winter Garden theatre in New York last Saturday. Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds have the Toller skating act, which has the advantage of a big chorus of ballet girls, all on roller skates. They enter the stage to waltz music and furnish the background for the act of Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds, which is a decided hit. Mrs. Reynolds changes costumes a time or two during the act, Earle doing the act by himself while Mrs. Reynolds leaves the stage. The show was doing a great business and the theatre had been packed at every performance up to the tinje Charles left. The show will come to Chicago after its run in New York.

Miss Helen Reynolds, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds, is also in the skating act, and has a neat little specialty that is making quite a hit. Helen’s sister, Miss Maude, is attending school here, and living with her grandmother, Mrs. S. R. Nichols. Charles returned home by way of Buffalo, where he visited for a day with a great uncle and aunt and spent a few hours at Niagara Falls.

Germany Is Making Attempt To Check Armenian Murders.

Washington, Oct. 22. —Confidential advices received today by the state department said the German government officially had made efforts to alleviate alleged atrocities upon Armenians in Turkey but that Turkish officials apparently displayed lack of interest in such endeavors. Representations were made by the U. S. through Ambassador Morgenthau at Constantinople, some time ago, warning Turkey that continued persecution of Armenians would alienate the friendship of the American people. A number of dispatches on the subject have 'been received from Ambassador Morgenthau, but no answer from the Ottoman government.

SOLD BOYLE DITCH TO TWO CONTRACTORS

Devere Yeoman Let Contract at sl6,* OyOO Less Than Estimate—Many • Bidders Here. Many dredge ditch contractors were here Friday when Devere Yeoman, as superintendent of the Boyle ditch, sold the contract for construction. It was sold in two sections, the first section going for 6.82 cents a yard and the second for 8.60 cents per yard. The average cost was about 7.52 cents. The first section contained an estimate of 276,862 yards and the second section of 201,000 yards. Joe Maibaugh, of Monterey, Ind., bid in the first section and Felix R. Erwin, of Fair Oaks, the second section. The bidding on the second section was forced gradually down from 12.50 to 8.60, when Felix Irwin made a bid of 8.60. Many of the big contractors at once called for their good-faith checks and left the court room where th§ sale was made. A recess was taken after none had offered to lower the Erwin bid and it was discussed by Mr. Yeoman and Attorney Halleck as to whether both sections could be offered together at advantage. It was shown that the average price based upon the yardage was a shade over 7.52 cents per yard and there was some question if the entire contract was offered whether the bidders on the sections could be held and as the bids provided a saving of about $16,000 or more than 30 per cent over the estimate it was decided to sell them in sections and the contracts were let. It is understood that Felix Irwin, who bid in the second section, was bidding for J. J. Lawler. The total cost of the ditch will be $^5,967.75, divided as follows: Eirst section $18,881.99; second section $17,085.76.

EUROPEANS WILL GIVE RECOGNITION

Inquiries Being Made As x to What Assurances Have Been Given In Respect to Foreign Claims. Washington, Oct. 21.—European governments are making inquiries of the United States as to what assurances have been given by -the newly recognized Mexican government with respect to foreign claims. It is generally understood that the powers of Europe will follow the lead of the American republics in recognizing Carranza, but it became known tonight that before taking the step they want to know more specifically what settlement is to be made of the huge claims growing out of the revolutionary condition of the last few years. General Carranza has decided to appoint several mixed commissions to be composed of representatives of the interested nations in order that an equitable settlement may be reached. As yet no move has been made by the Carranza government to obtain a loan, but it is considered certain that in view of the condition of European markets, funds with which to finance the new government will be sought in the United States. The sum needed has been variously estimated from four hundred million to three hundred million dollars. '

Indiana Again Makes Advance Call For Cash.

Indianapolis, Oct. 21.—The state board of finance today decided to issue a call to the county treasurers of Indiana to make, advance payments of taxes due the state, The payments are to be made before November 1. The payments are expected to aggregate $500,000 or more. The money which the state is asking the counties to supply in advance of the regular settlement time will be used to replenish three state funds, the general, educational and benevolent institution funds. The money will be expended to meet the state’s October 'bills which are payable in November. The fact that several specific appropriations by the recent legislature have just become due is given as one reason for the heavy demand for money just now. No bills to be paid from the general fund and due are now outstanding, according to the finance board.

MONARCH ISSUES APPEAL FOR MEN

King George Declares “More Men and Yet More Are Wanted to Secure Victory and Euduring Peace.” London, Oct. 22.—King George has issued an appeal to his subjects to come forward voluntarily and aid Great Britain in her fight against the Germanic allies. The message of the king follows: “To the people: At this grave moment in the struggle between my people and a highly organized enemy who has transgressed the laws of nations and changed the ordinance that binds civilized Europe together, I appeal to you.

“I rejoice in my empire’s effort and I feel pride in the voluntary response from my subjects all over the world who have sacrificed home and fortune and life itself in order that another may not inherit the free empire which their ancestors and mine have built. I ask you to make .good these sacrifices. "The end is not in sight. More men, and yet more, are wanted to keep my armies in the field and through them to secure victory and an enduring peace. In ancient days the darkest moment has ever produced in men of our race the sternest resolve. I ask you, men of all classes, to come forward voluntarily and take your share in these fights. “In freely responding to my appeal you will be giving your support to our brothers who for long: months have nobly upheld Great Britain’s past traditions and the glory of her arms.”

PRESIDENT WILL CONFER ON PLANS

Formal Announcement of Army Program Awaits Meeting of Wilson With Leaders in Congress. Washington, Oct. 22.—Formal announcement of army plans in the national defense program to be laid before congress by the administration this winter awaits word from President Wilson that he has concluded his conference with congressional leaders on the subject. While the president has approved the plan which rails for building up an army of more than 1,200,000 in six years, he has not yet an opportunity to discuss it with all those members of the house and senate whose views he wishes to obtain.

It was learned tonight that although it has been determined to recommend establishment of several new harbor defenses on both the Atlantic and Pacific armed with sixteen inch guns, final designs for these giant weapons have not been completed. Army ordnance experts say the 16 inch guns in no sense represent the biggest weapon that can be designed. If ships are built that can withstand the blow of a 16-inch projectile, it merely is a question of building a bigger gun. For that reason the new coast defense guns will be designed only as they are authorized so as to include latest ideas.

Don’t Burn Leaves At Night.

Doctors have complained about the smoke created by the burning of leaves, while others have objected on account of the dense smoke making auto travel on some streets dangerous and there is danger of fires being started because the bonfires are not protected and I have been directed by Mayor Spitler to order that the leaves must not be burned after night. To prevent the things complained of it is necessary that all fires be extinguished by 5 o’clock in the afternoon and none started after that time. J. J. MONTGOMERY, City Fire Warden.

Wagler Says He Will Put Good Men On Springer Ranch.

Eli R. Wagler, of Peoria, 111., who last summer took over the Springer ranch, was in Rensselaer this Saturday morning and discussed the Springer ranch land selling plans with the editor of The Republican. Mr. Wagler is, we believe, determined to conduct the land sales there on a perfectly honest basis and to avoid any of the criticism which was made against those whose methods aroused much complaint during the past few months. Mr. Wagler bought the land and holds the deed for it. He will see that all who purchased on the contract plan are given a square deal and will bring many good men there to buy the land. Part of it will be syndicated and farmed, but the greater part will be sold in 40 to 80 acre tracts. Mr. Wagler has met somt obstacles because of the methods employed by former salesmen, who were unable to carry out their pledges to the boyers. Of the men who bought small tracts there last spring and whose crops were an almost total failure owing to the high water, some fifteen will continue to live there and will proceed with there contract purchase plan. Eight families are spending the winter there and others who went to Chicago to spend the winter will return in the spring. Mr. Wagler -has sold to about fifteen others who will return in the spring and some of the purchasers are Illinois men who know how to fanta. He says that he will spend all the money necessary to clean out the ditches and establish drainage and says that he does not want a dollar that he does not get in an honorable manner and that no schemes of deception will be used to secure purchasers. Mr. Wagler sold about 8,000 acres of land, he says, at LaiCrosse and he invites any who care to do so to inquire into his methods there. He impresses one with candor and ability and it seems possible now that honest means of selling the Springer land are to be employed and that the occupants will be a credit to the county.

Lafayette to Have a New Factory—E. J. Fogarty at Head.

E. J. Fogarty, warden of the penitentiary at Michigan City, according to a Lafayette dispatch, will resign his office to become the head of a new binder twine and cordage factory.
