WASHINGTON. Dec. 11. Declaring that exaggerated accounts of the revolution ary movement In Mexico had magnified Its Importance In the minds of many Americans, denor de la Uarra. Mexican Ambassador to the United States, said t.xlay that the trouble had at no tune approached any significance. Normal conditions, he said, reign throughout the H.public. except In a portion of Chihuahua, where the govern ment forces are pursuing revolution ist. , His statement, he added, was based on oftV-tal advices from his Government, which had kept him advised of the prog ress of events, nhrrefore he could au thoritatively say th lives and Interests of natives and foreigners alike were se cure. The Ambassador said that several revo lutionary successes had been reported and later denied, "which untrue state ments." he said, have not only re flected upon the reputation of Mexico as a peace-loving country, but also have had their effect upon Amerlcars with In terests in Mexico and given rise to un rest and a spirit of suspicion as to the security of such Interests." He said the government of General Dlaa was absolutely secure and that foreign lnteresta were In no danger. Continuing, the Ambassador said: The eedlttonariea are being dealt with In a lawful and orderly manner. The cases of all who are taken Into cus tody because of their participation In the rebellion are In the hands of the Mexi can courts. The revolt has demonstrated three things. The strength of the government and the spirit of Justice that guides the people, the loyalty of the army and the support by the people generally of a course of peace and order, showing their sstlsfactlon with present conditions." The Ambassador said that not a soldier had proved disloyal. SCORES ENJOY FINE DIP -ontlnud Frrm First Page. the spectators and contestants as to who would win the Jeffery cup. Mr. Kaddrrly Easy Winner. At the time Miss JelTery retired from the race. Mrs. Kadderly was leading by a comfortable margin and would TAWXKY. have scored a victory In any event. Immediately after the "century" swim the novice race for women, which consisted of a swim of one length of the tank was held and eight water sprites competed. Mrs. A. Glebljch proved the surprise In this event lor she took the lead at the start and held it consistently for the entire distance, vinnlng by three yards from Mrs. Harry Younif. who finished second, a yard and a half ahead of Mrs. Walter Holm. Mrs. W. P. Strandborg was fourth. Miss Frances Jeffery with si finely executed dives carried the first honors in this event. The diving; and fancy swimming events were Judged by Frank E. Harmer and W. J. Petrain and In both events It was difficult to choose between Miss Jeffery. who won the dive and Mrs. Frank E. Watklns, who won tne swim. Miss Jeffery. by making six perfect dives, scored over Mrs. WatkliiS. whose side dive was rather awkwardly executed. However, she executed the other five leaps equally as well as did Miss Jeffery. Mrs. Watklns Victorious. Mrs. Watklns was victorious In the fancy swimming event because she perfected the back stroke to better advantage than had Miss Jeffery. Miss Grace O'Xell. on of the most willing swimmers among the women of the club, took third place in both events and that she did no better Is due to the over-anxiety on her part. With a little more experience this young girl will prove a most formidable opponent In future contests. Miss O'Xeil is a strong willing swimmer but she lacks the style and execution which marks the efforts of her more experienced rivals. Mrs. Harry Kadderly. winner of the first annual Winter swim for the Women's Annex Multnomah Athletic Club, la on of the most enthusiastic devotees of aquatic sports. She Is the largest member of the swimming class and because of this very few of the spectators thought she had a ohanc against the trim Miss Jeffery and the lithe Miss O'Xell. However, Mrs. Kadderly dived grace fully Into the water at the command of the starter, and by the use of a strong breast stroke got under headway rap Idly. She completed the first lap In 29 seconds, and changed to the side racing stroke soon after the start. She main tained a systematic style throughout the race, and finished strong and fresh. Her victory was enthusiastically ap plauded and later she waa presented with the Oliver King Jeffery Cup by Ex-Senator Fulton, she was given an ovation which was followed by ths Multnomah yell. Similar scenes were enacted when Ex-Senator Fulton presented the prises won by Mrs. Watklns. Mrs. Gleblsch and Miss Jeffery. Various Strokes Win. The fancy swimming event, which went to Mrs. Frank E. Watklns, con sisted of breast stroke, side stroke, bsck stroke and Imitation of the por poise. Just after the women's contests a BO-ysrd go-as-you-plesse swim for the men waa held and It was announced that this event was for a special prize contributed by the women's annex. H. E. Seymour surprised everyone by defeating Art Allen In one of the most sensational races held In any tank. The effort really deserved a better trophy, but the girls Insisted on having their Joke and after the real prizes were presented to the women Mr. Sey mour waa handed a brass medallion bigger than any policeman's badge of authority. Frank E. Watklns, winner of a special" diving event for the men, was similarity treated, though the prize was a tin cup. Over 100 guests arrived here from Portland, Astoria. Seaside and other points. Among the most prominent visitors were: Mr. and Mrs. C W. Fulton and C. Kulton, Astoria: Major Stephen M. Foote, United States Army; Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Sanborn, Astoria; lr. C. W. Cornelius. Portland: Reglna West. Salem; Dan J. Moore and Mrs. Harlow Moore. Seaside: Klna McKln ney. Astoria: Mr. and Mrs. J. Gorman of Edmonton. Alberta: J. M.

Army Colonel Who Is Building Pan ama Waterway Has No Ambition to Be Governor of Zone, but Would Complete Enterprise. BT GEORGE T. ACTHIER. ANCON. CANAL. ZONE. Panama. Dee. 11. (Special.) If Col. George W. Goethsls has bis way about it the Pan ama Canal Zone after its completion will become the scene of a great business enterprise with Uncle Sam as the man aging director. In connection with the same Idea. Col onel Goethals haa a plan for the revision of a charter of a government of the Canal Zone. That Idea Involves one man power with absolute governmental and business control of Government affairs on the Isthmus. In connection with this Idea it is ru mored on the Canal that James A. Taw ney. of Minnesota, chairman of the House Committee on appropriations, may be the next Governor of the Carl Zone In place of the present Governor That cher, of Kentucky. Mr. Tawney has had charge of all the appropriations given the Canal Commission, and is credited here with having aaved th Government mlllMns of dollars by his careful prun ing of the appropriation. Mr. Tawney smiles at the rumor, but has not denied It. Hlo term In Con gress expires with the presmt session, and his retirement fro it Congress, due to his recent defeat in tho primaries of the First Minnesota District, would leave blm available for such a governmental position. It is regarded as significant hero that the gossip concerning his pos sible appointment started Immediately after the visit of President Taft. and ble conference with Colonel Goethals. Colonel Goethals plan to Inaugurate a big business enterprise on the Canal after Its completion, Is based on the as sumption that the Panama Canal for a number of years will not be a paying investment. Its initial cost of J375.00n.000 will necessitate a large return to pay a reasonable Interest on the Investment. The proposed fortification plans will In volve another large expenditure and the necessity of maintaining troops to man those fortifications will be still another item of expense. Th maintenance and operation of the Canal wlU'run into blgb figures. Colonel Goethals' plans to utilize the plant the Government now haa on the Canal. The Panama railroad will con tinue as a Government property. The big machine shops of Gorgona, will be maintained; the waterway will be the clearing house for a large portion of the commerce of the world. Naval stations, snd probably a drydock will be estab lished at one or both entrances of the Canal. It Is these conditions that Colonel Goe thals purposes taking advantage of. His plan would involve an unique experiment on the part of the Government. In its ownership of the Panama railroad it has already established a precedent for the Government ownership of railroads. If the plan of Colonel Goethals could be adopted It would be further committed to the policy of direct governmental In terest in a business enterprise. .This Is the way Colonel Goethals explains his theory: Ths commercial Interests of the United States never demanded ths expenditure of the Immune sum of money that is required to build the canal. The voyage of the Oregon called the at tention of the American people to the Im portance of the Isthmian canal waterway as a military asset- That may not be th general lmpreeslon. but It la th fact, never theless. I would have the Government of the United Slates Inaugurate a blc commercial enterprise here: ships passing through this canal will need repairs and supplies; w have our machine shops, and we probably will have docks. I would sell them coal, oil. and all other necessary supplies. This Government could make a protlt on these articles, and we would have the world's commerce as our customers. These profits would help defray the expense of the canal. We have the facilities here'and why not use them? Referring to his one-man idea of gov ernment in the Canal Zone ofter the completion of the Canal, Colonel Goe thals said: "I am not speaking for myself. I would not care to remain after the completion of the Canal, because I would not want to spend all my life In the Isthmus. But It Is the only sensible form of government for an Institution of this character. Whoever heard of a big business enterprise with several dif ferent heads necessitating conference and submissions, of plans before they were carried out?" E DEAX HICKS, AT SPOKAXE, tSES HARSH WORDS FROM PCLPIT. Xon-Sectarian Tabernacle Termed Ecclesiastical Bastard" and Commercial Body "Asinine." SPOKAXE. Wash.. Dec. 11. (Special.) Characterising the proposed new down-town non-sectarian tabernacle as an 'ecclesiastical bastard." referring to the Chamber of Commerce as "a novice and little child." for Indorsing the pro posed tabernacle, and expressing the hope that never again will the Chamber be guilty of such an "asinine" act, the Very Reverend William C. Hicks, dean of All-Saints" Cathedral,- Episcopal, to day delivered an address that was startling. Dean Hicks has been dean of All Saints' since September. This, the old est and most fashionable Episcopal Church In the city, a house of worship that is largely attended, has seldom heard language more burning than that of Sunday morning. The sermon also scorched the thought of an Independent church such as that proposed by the friends of the new or ganization. The Rev. W. J. Hind ley, one of the most popular Congrega tional ministers that ever served in this city, has been asked to be minister in tbe new church and probably will accept Dean Hicks said of the Chamber of Commerce action: "It casts reflection and even insult at the men who fill the pulpits of the churches and pro poses In addition to set before the peo ple of this city, as the ideal organiza tion an institution which in the eyes of all regular and denominational church es, cannot be considered other than an ecclesiastical bastard." - ll Roval TOble Queen j A - Look friwprU'Royaln lj w on the bottpm ojthe ioatJ 1 vWk but it didn't seem just ri8W to. leav.

Hatch, of Dawson City, Yukon Territory, Canada, passed through this city on his way to his old home in Portland, Me.. He was in the Good Sa maritans' Hospital in Dawson under the care of Dr. Cato. who told Hatch's wife that he would probably not leave it alive. He was so low with diabetes that it was believed death was inevit able. A friend of Hatch by the name of E. S. Strait, an auctioneer of Daw son, heard about his plight and called on him. Strait told Hatch that five years ago he was in the same fix and bid heard of a thing in California called Fulton's Diabetic Compound and had sent for it and recovered. To in sure his health Strait keeps it on hand to take occasionally and told Hatch that be would loan him two bottles until more could be had from San Francisco. To the surprise of Dr. Cato, the nurses and Hatch's friends he made a recovery.

There are few important cities m the United States that have not had one or more recoveries iiv cases of Brigbt's Disease or Diabetes under Ful ton's Compounds.
