Kilstent, Declares Editor.
MEXICO CITY, Nov. 1. El Pais, the
nearest approach 10 an independent
newspaper in Mexico City, today edi
torially admits government influence
in last Sunday s elections. It says:
"It is evident and notorious that the
authorities secured the triumph of the
Huerta-Blanquet ticket. This we don't
deny nor doubt, but it is a far cry from
what may have occurred in questioning
the validity of the elections.
"Suppose the Huerta-Blanquet ticket
had not been put out, would the votes
cast for it have gone to Manuel Calero,
Federico Gamboa or Felix Diaz? It is
clear they would not, because they were
artificial votes, invented and non-existent.
"What if this be so? Is it materially
possible for Mexico to have a valid elec
tion in the present circumstances of
revolution and political disorder?
"That Federico Gamboa received more
votes than anybody we already know,
because he was backed by a strong:
party; but would these votes for Senor
Gamboa validate the election under our
laws? This is what President Wilson
should find out. It is unjust and irra
tional on his part to declare from
Washington, under the suggestion of
the Madero family, that he will not ac
cept the results of our elections."

of the smoke pouring from the win
dows of the room. He entered, found
the reptiles lying in a. pile in the mid
dle of the floor, and shrieking wildly,
hurried down stairs. The attaches of
the hotel threw blankets over the
snakes, and put out the fire.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Bucker
started for a picture gallery at Sixth
and Ankeny streets to have her pic
ture taken with the three snakes which
remained after one had died of the cli
mate Friday night. Detectives Tiche
nor and Abbott, who were searching for
her on a warrant sworn out by the pro
prietor of the hotel, charging that she
bad failed to pay $24 rent, found her
there. She teased the snakes until
they writhed around in such fearsome
ways that the detectives retired and
the photographer ran out. Then she
calmed them down, put them in a sack
and took them to the police station.
Sergeant Thatcher, assigned the deli
cate task of conveying her and her rep
tilian allies to the matron's quarters
on the third floor of the police sta
tion, balked, as did also other officers,
when the woman loosed the mouth of
the sack and sent the writhing crea
tures darting about the booking room.
Everybody retired into places of secur
ity, a reporter decorated the top of a
desk and all pleaded with Mrs. Bucker
until she recaptured her pets and put
them back in the sack.
Then they sent the sack to the city
zoo in Washington Park, and locked
Mrs. Bucker up in jail.

STRANDED IN LOS ANGELES.
Physician Says Star Will Recover, But
BO Fellow Players Are Entirely
Out of Funds.
LOS ANGELES Nov. 1. (Special.)
"Kitty" Gordon, English star of the
"Enchantress"' company, which because
or financial difficulties has been forced
to disband in Los Angeles, is in bed
in her apartments at the Alexandria
Hotel today suffering from pneumonia.
The attending physician said that
while Miss Gordon's condition was not
critical, she must have careful nursing,
He said:
"Miss Gordon has a slight attack of
pneumonia and a heavy cold. She is
also in a state of great mental worry
ana nervous collapse.
"However, I expect she will soon be
sufficiently recovered to leave Los An
geles for a rest and then I can see
no reason why she Bhould not return
to her stage work.' Miss Gordon is
a wonderfully strong woman in every
way or she could never have continued
her work under the strain of the Dast
few weeks. This strength will be a
great aid in bringing her back to
health."
The members of the stranded com
pany gathered about the stage door of
the Majestic today planning ways and
means to return to New York. A bene
fit will be given them at the Majestic
Sunday night. The company of 50 is
entirely dependent on results of the
benefit and their own efforts for their

Effort to Be Made, Under New Plan,
to Redeem Those That Have Xot
Been Successful and to Save
Them to Settlers.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington. Nov. 1. If Congress, at the reg
ular session, will authorize an addi
tional loan of $100,000,000 to the recla
mation fund, in accordance with the
recommendation to be submitted by
Secretary Lane, the Interior Depart
raent will undertake, in co-operation
with the several states to redeem those
Carey act projects which have proved
failures, and which threaten, without
some such aid, to entail heavy loss on
settlers who have undertaken to estab
lish homes under their canals.
While a few projects undertaken un
der the Carey act have proved success
ful, time has demonstrated that the
average Carey act project is a failure.
Out of 7,301,036 acres applied for by
the various states under the Carey act
during the past 19 years that the law
has been in effect, only 473.999 acres
have been patented, and not more than
half of the patented land has actually
been brought under Irrigation and cul
tivation. Most of the land actually ir
rigated under Carey act projects lies
in Idaho and Wyoming.
Small Proportion Settled.
Taking Oregon as an illustration, it
is found that the state, at one time or
another since the passage of the Carey
act, applied for the segregation of
d,io3 acres, and 333,617 acres actu
ally were segregated. Of this total 61,
583 acres have been patented to the
state, and the state in turn has patent
ed to settlers only 28,003 acres after
actual settlement and cultivation. Thus
four per cent of the lands applied for
and eight per cent of the lands segre
gated have actually been settled upon
and cultivated.
The Carey act has been more ex
tensively used In some states than In
Oregon, but every Western state that
has undertaken to secure the reclama
tion of arid lands under that law has
witnessed repeated failures.
The plan of the Interior Department
is to have the Federal Government join
with the states in completing Carey
act projects which have fallen into dis
repute through failure of contractors
or from other cause, the Government
and the state Jointly to raise sufficient
money to carry the projects to comple
tion, on a dollar for dollar basis, the
Federal Government, as under the Na
tional reclamation act, to recover every
dollar so invested.
If this plan of co-operation can be
carried through, all settlers on Carey
act projects will be assured of water
for their farms, the states will dis
charge their obligations to those to
whom they. have sold lands, and the
Irrigable area of thf West will be
quickly and largely expended, to meet
what has become a heavy demand for
good land.
Many Projects Simple.
Many Carey act projects, small as
compared to some of the Government
projects, are easy of construction and
many are capable of extension. Carey
act contractors naturally picked out
projects which could be built at a min
imum expense, the cream of the Irri
gated land of the West, in many in
stances. With a comparatively small
outlay of money, in addition to what
nas already been Invested, all thes
projects, or all that give promise of
success from an engineering and agri
cultural standpoint, can be carried
through, and as the farmers make their
payments the Federal Government and
the states can recover the amounts
thus invested.
The Western states are co-dnern Hno-
with the Department of Agriculture In
its soil survey, experiment station and
other work, the Government putting up
untj aoiiar ior every collar raised by
the states, and the same is true with
the work of the Geological Survey.
Under this co-operative plan, the work
is going ahead more rapidly than when
the Federal Government bore the whole
expense. The plan has been pronounced
entirely successful. It is proposed to
carry this same co-operative idea into
irrigation work.
Co-operation Having Trial.
In Eastern Oregon the Government
has already started one co-operative
project, the State of Oregon having
raised $450,000, to which the Federal
Government has added another $450,
000. and with the $900,000 available, an
old and unsuccessful Carey act project
is to be finished, and' settlers on that
projeot. who for a time stood to lose
their investments, are to be protected,
and are to have ample water for irri
gation purposes. There happened to be
money on hand sufficient to enable
Secretary Lane to take up this co
operative project, but there is not on
hand sufficient money to permit of
finishing all the defunct Carey act
projects In this manner. Additional
funds must be provided and unless they
are provided general co-operation of
this sort cannot be carried through..
The proposed plan of co-operation
appeals strongly to Secretary Lane.
One of the salient reasons is that it
affords a means whereby a maximum
area of irrigable land can be brought
under water at a minimum expenditure
from the reclamation fund.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1 Governor
Ralston refused, early tonight to take

which tied up the service here today.
He told Mayor Shank, who admitted
that the situation was beyond control
by the city authorities, that the police

If they would not do their duty to ap

No effort was made to run a car to

For more than an hour today a mob

up by the mounted police. The trouble
started when Joe Hlnchman, an In

repair a broken trolley pole on a car
standing at a corner In the central
business district. The mob pulled
Hinchman from the car and had
dragged him a block toward the union

the police.
The crowd continued rioting and

That the Federal Government may
