Drastic War Measures Taken in Oaxaca, but Subjuga tion Seems Doubtful. ZAPATA MAKES DEMANDS I I' Owners of Haciendas Ordered to i Contribute 3000 Pesos a Week to Cause Federals Draft Prisoners for Fighting. MEXICO CITT, Nov. 21. No fewer than 25 villages have been destroyed In the State of Oaxaca In the last ten dars bv government troops. The ad ministration believes the revolutionists in that vicinity have been cowed by the terrible warfare that has been waged and sanctioned orders for the retire ment of the greater part of the fed crals from that state. Five hundred Indians have surren dered. but a large part of these were without arms, affording some basis for the unofficial declarations that little of real value had been accomplished to wards the subluxation of the rebels who It la feared by the residents of the City of Oaxaca will redouble thel efforts with the added motive of re venge. Summary Executions Unavailing. In spile of the fact that the Federals in all the districts containing zapa tistas have been using the right con f erred by the suspension of the guar antees to execute summarily, there is little. If any. Improvement in the gen eral situation. In no fewer than 40 engagements reported last week th federals claim victories, but these for the most part have been insignificant, since the rebels ordinarily retire as soon as possible, doubtless to save am munition. Two circulars have been issued, signed by Zapata. One demands that the "owners of the haciendas unite to contribute 3000 pesos a week to the rebels' cause in certain fixed areas, the other urges planters to hurry the work of the peons on their plantations as much as possible, because Zapata soon will reauire all ablebodied men. Destruction of their properties is the alternative offered. Renela Forced Into Ranks. Plans for withdrawing a large num ber of federals from the north to Join the campaign against rebels In th south are maturing. Many volunteers who enlisted to fight Orozco are being mustered out, having served the stipu lated six months. Efforts are being made to maintain the strength of the armv. however, and as a result many prisoners are being drafted, and rebels taken In battle are being forced into the government ranks. Fifty soldiers of the Twenty-eighth Infantry yesterday joined the rebellion in the State of Mexico. They killed two Captains and seized 7000 pesos which the officers were bearing to the brigade paymaster. The government is not Inclined to re gard seriously the movements in North, ern Mexico. It insists that the sltua tion throughout the republic is much improved. BATTLE IS EXPECTED TODAY Volunteers Seeking to Prevent Sala' zar's Union With Allies. EL PASO. Tex.. Nov. 24. An encouir ter tomorrow Is expected between the 500 rebels led by General Inez Salazar, who yesterday evacuated the port of Palomas. and 400 volunteers under uen- eral Jose Blanco. The opposing forces are expected to meet near Guzman, on the Mexican Northwestern Railway, southwest of Juarez. It is the problem of the Federals to prevent a Juncture between Salazar's forces and other groups of rebels in the State of Chihuahua, but repeated ap peals for aid have met with no response from General Tellez, commander of the zone at the City of Chihuahua. Gen eral Tellez declares that only two small groups of bandits menace the state, while Governor Gonzales has asked President Madero for 10.000 additional troops to avert a critical situation. The United States border patrol near Columbus, X. M., confiscated today large quantity of provisions destined for General Salazar s troops. ANTI-TRUST PLANK GONE (Continued From First Page.) Colonel Roosevelt,. In his confession of faith, had advocated strengthening the Sherman law speciilcally. Professor McCarthy said the para graph cut out of the "business" plank was the very one which made it a "thoroughly strong anti-trust pro vision." "Is it apparent." the professor was asked, "thnt the large corporation ob jected to the eliminated paragraph? "I have no evidence on that point. As to how the paragraph was cut out of the platform as sent out by the Dress associations. I have a letter on the point from a delegate to the Pro cresslve National convention." In this letter the writer said he saw at the Chicago office of the Associated Press the copy of a platform as given to the press. This copy contained the business paragraph In question, he said. The letter then continues: "Attached to the copy was a message calling attention to the Sherman law plunk and explaining that this plank was a 'mistake.' Reqncst Made by O. K. Davis. "The story connected with this mes sage is that O. K. Davis, secretary of the convention, appeared in the Asso ciated Press headquarters and request ed that this plank be left out. The Associated Preys scratched out the word 'announced' (from the message) and used 'said tonight' in Its place, so as not to convey the Idea that there was any official action by the conven tion. Mr. Schuler, Mr. Hatton and a number of the Associated Press staff were present when Davis was on the Job of changing the platform. "The notice sent out at the request of Davis is vital insofar that it admits that the plank was adopted by the con vention." "It is rumored in Chicago political circles," the professor was told, "that among the prominent Progressives present at the convention, George W. Perkins probably directed the elimina tion of the paragraph at the last mo ment." "I have no evidence on that point. There is no doubt that Mr. Perkins was greatly interested In the plank and talked with many persons in the con vention about it- I certainly cannot accuse Mr. Perkins of cutting out this paragraph. I tried to find out from the New York headquarters why the plank was cut out, but never received any an swer." "You do not know whether your let ter fell into the hands of Mr. Davis or some one else's?" ,j "I do not know." ; y - ! if ,;,v iJ i r -f4uiepes v Jane Addams.

(Continued From First Pane.) those who are the wives of working men, know what they need, she said. 'The ignorant vote is the complacent. indifferent, blind vote of men, and of the feminine 'influence' which moves them, which disregards the real prob- ems of setting safe and wholesome standards of life and labor and educa tion, and spends Its strength in look ing backward, insisting upon prece dents, -.without seeing that, good and enduring as they may be in principle, all principles must be dally retrans lated into the setting of today in order to be useful." Miss Addams discussed several ques tions to which she has given so many years of her- life: The emigrant she followed from the time- of landing, through the stages whlch-place him un der obligations to the Alderman, and pointed out how much better it will be If the Government could lend aid to the needy and inexperienced than leave them the prey of politicians to be used to promote their own political ambi tions. - Large Holdings Decried. Large landholdlngs, especially by cor porations, are harmful to the commu nity. Miss Addams said, because the managers are always thinking of .In creasing dividends and not of the wel fare and comfort of the tenants. In the name of morality Miss Addama asked if it Is sane, safe or wise to leave the enforcement of anti-vice laws to man. The vice question, she said. couldn't be solved until the whole com. munlty united In a war upon it. Among tile problems of today, said the speaker, are the management of playgrounds and dancehalls for young persons. She maintained that women should take a hand in theso affairs and provide clean and moral places of amusement. The officers of the association at their hotel headquarters held a public reception tonight which was largely at tended.

Says He Will Tell More Than Many Persons Want Him To. ' CHICAGO, Nov. 24. "I was after the big fellows," said William J. Burns today, when questioned as to why ar rests did not take place sooner in the case of the Los Angeles Times dyna mite explosion. Mr. Burns had just stepped off a train on arrival here from New York. He had finished perusal of an account of the latest court developments at Indianapolis. "If Inquiries to me now were made in good faith it would bo easy for me to answer fully, but I intend to make my statements when I get on the wit ness stand at Indianapolis." he said. "Then I shall testify to far more than has been brought to light and to a great many more than some persons would prefer. "The purpose of suggesting that discuss it at this time is to put me in a wrong light and has been inspired by a pinhead at Indianapolis, whose excessive eagerness for newspaper no tice I have hindered by refusing to In dorse his claim that he is the man chiefly to be credited with the dis covery and the capture of members of the dynamite gang.

Dr. Isaac Kaufman Funk, once head of the pub lishing firm of Funk & Wagnalls and editor of its works, has sent through the void his message to Dr. James H. Hyslop, secretary of the American Psychical Society. Dr. Hyslop admits having received messages from the dead publisher, but until Dr. Funk has been fully "identi fied" he does not wish to make' the mes sages public. "The communications themselves are not of such vast importance," said Dr. Hyslop; "it Is personal identification which will prove the point. - Benjamin F. Funk, present vice- president of Funk & Wagnalls, is not a spiritualist, but he told today of mystifying experience, which makes him reserve his judgment on the ques tion of messages from his brother. He went to a psychic medium and asked for his brother's spirit,. but was told that both his brother and his mother wished to speak to him. Mr. Funk asked for some evidence of their Identity and his mother sent him this message: "Why don't you put back the leaf you cut out of the old family Bible? Return it to the proper place. "I thought ror a moinenr ana repiiea knew nothing of the matter. My mother then said: "You will find it underneath some papers in the bottom of your bureau drawer. You ought to put that leaf back In the Bible. It was the family book to comfort and help us all.' " On returning home. Mr. Funk made search and found the missing leaf from the Bible in the bureau drawer. It bore a record of births and had been cut from the Bible because some or the feminine members or the lamiiy did not want their ages revealed to persons who picked up the book.

Why Druggists Believe In "N0RITO" The New and Effective Remedy for Rheumatism, Sciatica and Neuritis We want all the sufferers in this city to know why we believe in "Nun to,' because their belief is bound to be founded on ours. This new, progressive remedy is the work of a doctor whose standing we know. There is no mystery about it no pa ent medi cine deception. Like men who are to-day working he great advances in medicine the world over, this physician h.s simply utilized and combined ingredients which separately were recognized by doctors as having a tendency to drive the uric acid poi&on out of the system. It is their unique combination which is new. ( Instead of a mere tendency to relieve, "Nurito" gives absolute relief which is as per mar. ent as the relief from any disease can be. There is neither narcotic nor opiate in this prescription simply a harmless powder which is a complete antidote for uric acid poison. Patients who have been almost distracted by the knife-thrust, darting, rheumatic pains have been greatly relieved in a very few hours and entirely relieved in a remarkably short time. Doctors throughout the country believe in "Nurito" they have seen its work. We, as druggists, give it our fullest endorsement. We know that there is certain relief here for every sufferer and that often a single $! box will be the most convincing evidence of it.
