MONACO'S TIE EXPIRES DESTRUCTIOV OF" PRINCELY TBAU THREATENED. cn.v- EL PASO. Ter Nov. 2. Mexico Is to day a republic with" two claimants of aupreme executive power. One ,of them, Eulalio Gutierrez, named late yesterday at the Aguas Calientes conference, was elected to serve only 20 days, said to be the shortest term cf office in the history of any republic The other, Venustiano Carranza. now In power at the national capital, has not recognized Gutierrez as supplanting him as the choice of the convention of chiefs which previously had retired Carranza and Villa. Evidences tonight pointed to a re newal of actual conflict between the Carranza and Villa factions. Both sides were said to have begun movement of troops. Short Term Is Zapata Move. The short term of office accorded, to Gutierrez was out of consideration for the delegates of General Zapata, the southern chieftain, who had no vote in the convention for lack; of authoriza tion from their cniei. Within the 20 days allotted it was aid that Zapata could arrange to al low his agents to vote for him. A message from the central bureau of Information at Mexico City was STiven out by the Consulate General's office here today as follows: "As soon as the first chief was In formed of the action of the Agua Call entes convention he notified the con vention delegates that he was disposed to do as he had promised and give up his command and executive power as Boon as the convention had -fixed the form of provisional government and ar ranged for Zapata and Villa to give up command of their forces. "Also he asks that an explanation be made to him of the motives' which had Impelled the convention to decide to accept his resignation and the motives for which It -had considered expedient his resignation from power." Gntlerrea and Villa Linked, Gutierrez was appointed provisional rovernor ofsthe State of San Luis Po- tosl by Carranza at the beginning of the constitutionalist revolution. He is regarded, however, as more of a sympa thizer with Villa in the present con troversy. The naming of Gutierrez as head of the convention of chiefs and acting executive chief of the nation came, as a surprise at this time. He previously had not been mentioned as a possibility for the office. Details of the voting were not received here. The new President of Mexico comes of the lower middle classes. Before he became a revolutionist he was a grocer. The voting at the convention did not end until after midnight. Gutierrez re ceived 88 votes. His nearest competl tor was General Juan Cabral. the So nora commander, for whom 30 of the delegates voted. Gutlerres Known as "Tlerer." General Gutierrez is Icnown through out the constitutionalist army as the "Tiger" of Conception del Oro, from the little town between Saltillo and San Luis Potosi, where he made his home. When Gutierrez allied himself with the movement started by Carranza against the Huerta administration he succeeded In raising several hundred men from among his neighbors in the northern part of the State of San Luis Potosi, but was unable to arm them. Only a handful of his men had rifles or ammunition, but in spite of this fact he Is credited with inflicting severe losses and damage to the federal troops ent to defend Monterey and Saltillo. Gutierrez and his men succeeded In seizing a quantity of dynamite from .mining companies operating south of Saltillo. With this as his only weapon he held up on destroyed dozens of troop and supply trains carrying reinforce ments and ammunition to he federal . commanders. From these trains he armed and equipped the force with which he inflicted a decisive defeat on the federal command at Vanegas last June. People Choose Gntlerres. When the division of the northeast, tinder General Jablo Gonzales, concen trated so strong a force about San Luis Potosi last July that it was apparent that the federal garrison could not withstand them, the "citizens of San Luis sent a delegation to General Car ranza asking that General Gutierrez be . given command of the constitutionalist force which was to occupy the city. Baying the townspeople had complete confidence in his ability to protect them and preserve order. Carranza complied with their request and later named Gutierrez Provisional Governor of the state.

This was the day fixed by General von Buelow forde stroying the Prince of Monaco's Cha teau de Marchais, near Sissone, and the villages in the neighborhood, un less a fine of 600.000 francs ($100,000) was paid. This fine was levied be cause It was alleged broken glass was scattered on the road to impede the military automobiles. The inhabitants denied the accusations. Lieutenant-Colonel von Krupka, commandant of the post, ordered the fine paid in full in order to avoid "heavy damages to the commune." The authorities replied that they were able to collect only 120.000 francs. Lieutenant-Colonel von Krupka, after consul tation with General von Buelow, de cided to allow two delegates to visit the Prince of Monaco to ask aid. His authorization read: T am authorized by his excellency to .tell you that the remaining part of the fine must be paid before No vember 1. The delegation Is instructed to mention this decision to the Prince of Monaco, adding that if the sum is not paid, besides other accounts, the chateau belonging to the Prince and the commune of Marchais will be de molished and burned." The Prince received the delegates and sent the following letter to the General: Monaco. Oct. 22. Monsieur la General: To avoid for the commune of Eissone and that of Marchais the rigorous fate which you have threatened. I on my honor pledge myself to remit to Emperor William, ll the -war ends without intentional damage to my residence or to the communes, the sum necessary to complete tne buu.uuu francs which Slssonno was fined by you. As a sovereign Prince I will treat with the sovereign who during IS years has called ma friend and made me Knight of the Eagle. My conscience and dignity place me beyond feeling fear, my energy will place m beyond all regret. But if you destroy the chateau of Marchais, which 1 a center of science interesting to the whole world and a center of charity; if you re serve for this jewel of archaeology and history the fate of the cathedral of Rhelms and without a hostile act against you on its part the world will Judge between you and me. I address myself to your excellency, ex pressing the highest consideration. (Signed) ALBERT. Sovereign Prince of Monaco. The Prince also wrote this letter to Emperor William: Sire: I forward to. your majesty several documents concerning an affair which is very grave and urgent. Oeneral Von Buelow has occupied Foaxnonth and a half my residence of Marchais, situated three miles from the Village --of Slsaonne. The Oeneral has fined the 1600 inhabitants of this poor, ruined village 500,000 francs, of which they are unable to pay more than fourth part. I answered the demand of General Von Buelow, saying - that 1 pledged myself on my honor to complete the said 500.000 francs because I wtah to prevent a hor rible action coldly accomplished. As sovereign Prince X put this question before the Judgment of the Emperor, declaring that, the afoeesald sum will be paid when the Chateau de Marchais shall be treed from the risk: of intentional destruction. 1 am with great respect, your majesty, your devoted servant and cousin.

ARRAJTZA THREATENS WAR Retirement of Villa and Zapata With Ills Resignation Demanded. . WASHINGTON. Nov. 2. Latest offi cial dispatches today from Mexico City said Carranza was threatening civil war unless - the convention complied with his demand to retire Villa and Zapata with his resignation. The Mex Ico City papers, by order of Carranza, are publishing the correspondence with Washington over the conditions of evac uation of Vera Cruz. The United States has addressed a note through the Brazilian Minister in Mexico City to General Carranza, re iterating its willingness to withdraw American forces In vera Cruz, but in slating on a compliance with the origi nal demands of the State .Department for certain guarantees. A copy of the note was sent simulta neously to the American Consular agent at Aguas Calientes to be laid formally before the convention. The document sets forth that the United States has been ready and willing for some time to evacuate Vera Cruz, but has waited for the specific guarantees. The note says that a proclamation Colonel Goethals Ilopea to Have All Debris) Removed by Tomorrow and Way A grain Cleared. WASHING-TON. Nov. 2.

A Goethals cabled the Canal Commis slon today: "Rapid movement of slide material In the break north of Gold Hill locked the channel Saturday. Hope to open channel by Wednesday." As understood at the canal offices this slide Is only an aftermath of th big slide of .

In spite of the wet weather which threatens to cover every portion of the state tomorrow, an unusually large vote Is expected in Washington, brought out by the prohibition and other leglsla tlve measures oh the ballot, rather than by the desire to vote for candi dates for United States Senate and House of Representatives. Eastern Washington is expected to give a majority for prohibition, and Seattle, both sides admit, will have a large "wet" majority, making it nec essary for the prohibition forces to obtain a majority in the remainder of Western Washington in order to carry their measure. Both sides, during the past week, have fought with the zeal of the armies in Flanders, and the re sult cannot be foretold. United States Senator Wesley L. Jones, Republican, Is a candidate for re-election, but has been unable to visit the state. Ole Hanson, his Pro gressive' opponent, has gone Into every county and has made a remarkable campaign. William W. Black has ap pealed for support In the name of President Wilson. In the Seattle dis trlct Representative William E. Hum phrey Is fighting for re-election. His Progressive opponent is Chief of Po lice Austin E. Griffiths, a wealthy at' torney, who, after being defeated for Mayor last Spring, accepted the police department because of the opportunity it would give men id carry out social reforms. The Democratic candidate. William Hickman Moore, was formerly Mayor of Seattle. PIONEER, 90, SEES FAIR Alexander Spithill, Once Owner of Everett, Visits Wenatchee. WENATCHEB, Wash.. Nov. 2. (Spe cial.) This section does not often or ever entertain a vigorous man of 90 years, but such a, visitor was here this week in the person of Alexander Spit hill, of Marysville, on Puget Sound. He Is interested in Lake Chelan property and came over for a visit to the apple country. He was born on the Clude River In Scotland, May 24. 1824. and has resided in this state since 1856. He spent his early life as a sailor and traveled over the world several times. In 1849 he entered San Francisco Bay and joined the gold-mad throng that had rushed into California. Mr. Spithill remembers the sight of more than 600 ships anchored in San Fran cisco Bay, unable to move, because the frenzied gold-hunting sailors had de serted them. After some years of fruitless en deavor In the gold fields and in San Francisco, Mr. Spithill wandered north Into what was then Washington terri tory. . That was in 1856.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 2. The Federal Reserve Board announced today its plan to remedy a slight defect In the new currency act and provide for the pay ments of its members' salaries. Through Secretary. Willis it announced a levy of four-tenths of . 1 per cent againBt the Federal reserve banks for the pur pose of defraying expenses for the first half-year of its existence. The law gave the organisation com mittee which preceded the Board in preliminary work $100,000 to spend, but it was not contemplated by Congress then that the banks would 'not be in operation for nearly 11 months after its passage. This $100,000 has been spent. . Reserve banks are to pay one-third of the assessment at once, a third within 30 days and the rest within 60 days. The basis used for the levy is the canal was passed through. Colonel Goethals has stated there 1 no known way of stopping these land slides in Culebra Cut: that the , engl neers must content themselves with removing ' the material as fast as it falls into the canal until the strata of earth and rock above have, adjusted themselves permanently to the change In their base caused by the digging of the canal. This process may go on for many months before the earth is final ly and permanently quiescent. It is be lieved, however, that navigation of the canal will not be Interrupted seriously ror more tnan a few days at a time.- RUB RHEUMATISM riving the guarantees Is desired by the WASHINGTON YFARS PI!
