"Tho probabilities of the voters of th stato authorizing the holding of a constitutional convention are so great as to cause It to rlso to the realm of practical certainty. The republican and progressive parties last year, by platform pronouncement, declared for such a convention; a democratic legislature provided for the holding of the same. "The Anti-Saloon league cannot wait until the people next November shall have authorized the calling of tho constitutional convention before getting ready for it. The liquor Interests will organize to capture this convention, so as to place license In the constitution, and that even now every brewtry, distillery' and wholesale liquor house, every saloon, blind tiger, whiskey drug store, gambling joint and red liprht district have become headquarters for this very purpose."

3,126 TEAMSTERS

AND CHAUFFEURS REPORT TO STRIKE (CO.NTINTI'D FROM PA OK ONE.) bakery goods succeeded in getting away to restaurants and prrocers. Mayor Wallace established headquarters at the police station (luring the morning and said he would take personal chcarge of the police department until the strike Is settled. Want Nc-v Wage Scale. The men were ordered not to report at their respective bams Monday morning, but to picket the barns in a lawful manner. Employers of teamsters who are members of tho National Vehicle Owners' Protective association, have practically decided to abandon all attempt to move their wagons on the first interference. They say they will put their wagons In the barns and send their horses to the country and await developments. Wholesale dealers have notified their customers they will not attempt to make deliveries In case there Is any Interference with their wagons or automobiles. The demands of the teamsters were drafted last Sunday and submitted to the employers during the week. The demands Include a wage 3cale and change of working conditions, which vary, according to the kind of work done. The wage scale for drivers of horse wagons range from $13 to $18 a week and for chaufeurs from $14 to iilS a week. The hours of labor range from eight to 12 hours a day. The union did net demand a "closed shop." but that there should be no discrimination against union men. The police department, reorganized under the direction of Capt. George V. Coffin, acting superintendent of police, has been making preparations for a week to handle the strike. An order issued Saturday preventing the congregation of crowds and the police were told "not to hesitate to use other means" if persuasion failed to disperse the gatherings. A system of military patrol has been mapped out for the downtown districts, and additional mounted and foot police have been added to the force. In addition to the extra patrolmen, 250- business men were sworn In as a reserve force Sunday afternoon. These men were provided with uniforms and gun and are quartered in Tomllnson hall prepared for emergencies. The men are commanded by officers of the Indiana National guard. Although today was Sunday, there was little rest for many teamsters. Families who had contemplated changing their places of residence, had their household good moved Sunday and merchants in the outlying districts were busy stocikng up their supplies, in preparation for the strike. Large squads of patrolmen and mounted police were on duty in the downtown district Sunday night. On account of the rainy weather they had little trouble in keeping the streets clear.

For new investigation work of the children's -bureau $58,000 is asked, not including other estimated expenses of the bureau of $106,640. Tho total estimated cost of maintaining tho new department of labor the coming fiscal year is fixed at $790,010. Enforcement of the pure food lawwill cost $683,660 or $100,000 more than last year.

MUM ON PLUMS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) is willing that tho succeeding unpleasantness incident to occasional disappointments shall be staved oft as long as possible. Dopcsters Keep Busy. (Meanwhile tho dopestera are keeping busy, improving their time. Whero they pet their Information, however, is a problem, unless wmie of tho "inner circle" Is spilling, for you might as well try to get Keller himself to talk astronomy, as to try to wring from him the possibility of any appointment. He Ls holding conferences, and is said to occasionally ask for advice, and then, as the story goes, he bottles it up. and smiles. Chief of the contests that arc openly before the public appears to be the ono urged h- tho respective friends of W. K. Miller and Ell Seebirt for tho cltv attorneyship, and Drs-. W. L.. Owen and Edgar Myers, for health otlicer. The Owen-Myers contest 13 reputed to be approaching the limit I nearnestness, so much so In fact, that it is being wondered if tho mayorelect will not finally repudiate it by appointing neither one. A similar feeling w also welling up with regard to the Miller-Seoblrt controversy, some friends of Mr. Keller presuming to havo a "'tip" that ho will rinally settle the little controversy bv appointing neither one. "The bulk of the applications for appointments are said to be for positions of minor importance, notably superintendents, assistants, deputies, clerks, etc.. frequently drawing good salaries, and requiring technical skill. As these appointments, however, are not made as a rule until after the boards axe organized, it is possible that they are getting but very little of the mayor-elect's present attention.

P.O. MEN PUN FOR

CHRISTMAS RUS

Parcel Post Complicates Work This Year How Much Use Will Public Make of It Do Your Mailing Early. The fact that this will be the first holiday season in which the parcel post system will be utilized has complicated the problem confronting the postal officials in - facilitating tho movement of mails during the rush. The officials are wholly at sea regarding tho extent to which the public may avail Itself of its privileges but owing to the lower rate of postage and tho larger packages which may be sent, it Is expected the volume will be enormously increased. "Mail your Christmas packages early," has come to be the slogan of Postmaster Crabill, who in cooperation with the department at Washington is planning to handle the increased mall with the best possible service. Placards urging this slogan on the public and containing the Information that the words "Not to be opened until Christmas" may be placed on the packages, are to be placed in public places and down town stores where the campaign will be waged In connection with the early shopping plan. The plan of mailing packages late in the hope that they may reach their destination on Christmas day is very likely to defeat its own purpose Postmaster Crabill pointed out Monday. This ls likely through unavoidable delay through congestion of the mails with late packages. Since there is no precedent on which to base an estimate of the amount of mail the postal department Is making a special effort to obtain the cooperation of tho public. HUERTA IS MISSING; LEAVES FOR PALACE IS NOT HEARD FROM (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) tho constitutionalists if it was desired. Dr. Hale refused to discuss his mission in advance of his conference with the president. Shortly after his arlval Hale conferred with Secy. Bryan and reported the failure of his negotiations with Carranza. The mission upon which Hale was sent is not believed to have ben productive of a better understanding betwen tho rebel forces in Mexico and the U. S. than has heretofore existed. YILIiA CONFIDENT. JUAREZ. Mex.. Dec. 1. Gen. Francisco Villa, the constitutionalist leader, said Sunday that northern Mexico, embracing the states of Sonora. Chihuahua, Coahuila, Neuvo Leon and Tamaulipas, and Including the territory from the border to a line 500 miles southward, will be wholly under the authority of the rebel forces within two weeks. The forces which are fighting Huerta will then Join at Gaudalajara with a view of marching onto Mexico City. - This campaign, he said, contemplated not only the capture of Chihuahua City, but also the spreading of the constitutionalist authority further to the south. He is to be jorncfl in the interior later by Gen. Carranza, the head of the revolutionary movement. So far as the north is concerned. Villa said, the campaign Is between 14,500 federal troops, mostly in garrisons, and 20,300 rebels or constitutionalists In garrisons and roaming the country. . In preparation for the attack on Chihuahua City, 3.500 troops with 16 machine guns and equipment, which filled three trains, had left Juarez up to Sunday, and had reached a point 50 miles south. Villa expects to Join his men within a few days, and if possible to keep open a train and a telegraph service behind him. He said he would be in Chihuahua City within 10 days. "We will move right onto Mexico City." Villa said. "That is our destination." EVANGELIST TO TALK. Taniel S. Toy, well known evangelist, will talk at the First Baptist church Ionday night to the Brotherhood. He will talk, using "Keeping Everlastingly At It" as his subject. A particular thing can be accomplished but once. After that all similar acts become emulation, imitation or an attempt at substitution. Xewbro's Herpiclde followed the discovery that dandruff is of germicidal origin. It was the first remedy ever jriven to eclence in harmony with this discovery. Other preparations have since been offered to tho public, some similar in appearance, some in odor, but all bringing the daring promts? of doing the same things the Herpiclde has been doing for yars. Dvery article of this kind is merely one more instance of vicious emulation, vile imitation or a base attempt at substitution. The "something Just as good' story is old, why give it a thought?

PLAN TO FORCE LOPEZ WITH GAS Mexican l)esi)crado Believed in Hungry Strait4 Attempted Escape Through Bulkheads Foiled. BINGHAM, Utah. Dec. 1. While Ralph Lopez, tho slayer of six men, was attempting to batter down a bulkhead at the entrance of tho tunnel In the Utah-Apex mine here late Sunday a posse penetrated an incline and brought out the bodies of Deputy Sheriffs Douglas Halsey and Tom Mandrich, the victims of the desperado in a subterranean fight Saturday afternoon. Two deputies on guard at the mouth of the mine opened fire with rifles when Lopez was breaking down the bulkhead, and he retreated into the mine after prying away one board. That he is suffering from hunger is the belief of of the officers, as he has been in the mine with only a small supply of food since Thursday. Outwitted repeatedly since Lopez began his career of bloodshed on Nov. 21, the pursuing sheriffs of seven counties Sunday decided to batten up the mine and attempt to asphyxiate tho fugitive with poisonous gases. Accordingly fourteen of the fifteen exits were stopped with bulkheads and tho work of preparation for forcing in gas is under way. MAY SEND MOTHER OF SIX TO INDIANAPOLIS Emily Mostaerd, mother of six children, may be sent to the house of correction for women at Indianapolis, the result of continual drunken debauches, according to Mrs. Anderson, the matron at the county Jail. Mrs. Mostaerd was summoned before Judge Farabaugh Monday morning charged with being drunk last Friday. Her husband alleged that she has only been home four times in the last month and that he has been out of work and has been home with the children, the oldest being 16 and tho youngest- two years old. She alleged that her husband had put her out and misused her and pleaded that was the cause of her drinking. The woman has already served two sentences at the county jail for drunkenness and Mrs. Anderson suggested that the court send her to Indianapolis In the hope of reforming her. The case was continued until Wednesday when several of the neighbors will be brought In to testify for both the husband and the woman.
