CITIZENS LEFT TO SUFFER 2ominee Denies That Admtnistra tlon Dealt With Small States in , Same Spirit as (It Did v With Largo Ones. RICHMOND. Ind.. Sept. 31. Instruo tiona said to have been given by Presi dent Wilson to John Lind. his personal representative In Mexico during Huerta's time, were cited in speeches by Charles E. Hughes at Fort Wayne, Ind- today and here tonight, in support of Mr. Hughes denial that the Admin lstration sought to deal with small states in the same spirit as with large ones. "I have only recently received this authentic information of the actual In structions that were given with respect to the government of Mexico, such as Mexico had then." Mr. Hughes said. "John Lind was authorized by the Ex ecutive to state this proposition to a minjster of another government, namely: "Huerta will be put out if he does not get out. It is the preference of the President that it should be accepted by domestic means if possible, but if it cannot be done by domestic means, other means adequate for the purpose will be resorted to.' American Policy Abandoned, "There Is no basis for that in the recognition of small states," Mr. Hughes added. "There is no basis for that in the recognition of the sovereignty of our neighbor. There is no basis for that in a true and correct American policy. We departed from an Ameri can policy and left our citizens to suf fer from the barbarity which resulted when all government was destroyed and anarchy was supreme in Mexico. It is a deplorable recital." In a dozen speeches today, moat of them rear platform addresses of only a few minutes, the Republican nominee for President outlined his views on Americanism, protection of American rights, the protective tariff and other party, policies. In one address at Delphia, Mr. Hughes referred to "full dinner pail" placards plastered on bill boards at Lafayette by Democrats. "I was going through the streets of Lafayette," Mr. Hughes said, T saw a campaign placard which had been put up by our friends on the other side. That placard bore this statement: 'No idle men. Plenty of work. A full dinner pail.' Voter Asked to Remember. "I thought what an. extraordinary tribute to the memories of the Ameri can voters. How was it in 1914 and in the early part of 1915. after the pass age of the Underwood bill? Was there plenty of work? Were there then no idle men? Were there then full dinner pails? "If we have no idle men today, it is not due to the policies of our friends on the other side, but in spite of their policies and because of the European war." In his discussion of the Administra tion's Mexican nolicv Mr. Hue-hM reit erated that the question was not of recognition of Huerta or his non recognition. "That Is a matter which presents a false issue." he said. "We have been told in recent days that small states should have the same respect that great Btates enjoy. We -were told by the Administration only a few days ago that our influence on this hemisphere really depended on our proving, dem onstrating to our neighbors, that we had no desire officiously to meddle in their affairs or control their Internal administration. It was said that we must have a demonstration of our abso lute good faith in dealing with the neighboring nations. Mexico Left to Anarchy. "Tet the truth is that we div. meddle with their affairs in a way which for feited to us the esteem that we should have enjoyed and finally resulted in leaving Mexico to the ravages of revolution.- We left them to an anarchy which is indescribable and to atrocities which will not bear repeating in po lite society." Mr. Hughes again declared for the protection of American rights, includ ing lives, property and commerce. "We are not here for this nation or for that nation," he eaid, "for this side or that side. So far as I am concerned, if entrusted with the executive respon sibility I shall, to the utmost of my powers, maintain American rights on land and sea. throughout the world, with respect to all nations, i I stand here for the rights of Americans, square to the world." In his address today Mr. Hughes again assailed the Administration for the enactment of the Adamson law. "If I were the Executive of this coun try and any questions were brought to me," he told a crowd at Wabash, "I should say: 'Why, we will have the entire force of publio opinion directed to. the Just settlement of this, promptly and thoroughly, according to Justice and equity.' Arbitration Is Defended. "But if anybody says that this has t?ot to bo done and the principle of ar bitration must be surrendered, J would Rtand like a rock for that principle 'which labor and all citizens must cher 1eh. if .we are going to go forward and have peace and prosperity in the United States." An anxious engineer, eager to make up lost time, started to pull the spe cial train out of LogansDort before Mr. Hughes had finished.

Zoe and Klaire El Rey. two resourceful sisters, have taken to roller-skates, car schedules being uncertain. When the big strike tied up "L." surface and subway, the girls decided to skate to and from their home and keyed on their rollers and gave them a Atrial. So successfully did their scheme work, they definitely adopted it for getting about the city. Daily they roll along, arm in arm. through traffic blocks and over cobbles and arrive at the place of employment. to the conductor. "No, he shouted, "wait a minute, don't go yet. I have a word more to say." Mr. Hughe held the train five- rain--utes to finish his talk on the Adamson law. At Lafayette, another stop, Mr. Hughes referred to the protective tariff as an American doctrine, rather than a partisan preachment. "Henry Clay called the policy of pro tection, the American doctrine and so it is." Mr. Hughes said. "It ought not to be a partisan doctrine." The future of the United States, Mr. Hughes told several audiences. Is "full of nothing but agitation and disturb ance unless reason rules our force. Sense of Justice Invoiced. "I can see the United States em broiled in the most serious social con troversies," he said. "I can see a cer tain course of action taken that would lead us perilously close to civil war I tell you, my friends, we've got to have vision and Justice, openmindeidness and care, and do all that we can. not co re move controversy that is impossible but to keep alive the tenia of Justice and have such remedial efforts put forth that all will be content, because we find the great ideals of the declara tion of independence translated Into the living realities of American life. "I do not say these things with merely the profession of a candidate; I lived these things in New York." . In nearly every addresa the nominee referred to the campaign as "good-natured." "I speak without bitterness," The said, "and with desire to be absolutely fair; I am the friend of 'every citizen of this country. Democrat or Republi can." The nominee was tired out tonight. He will leave tomorrow to continue his campaign through Indiana. OPEN SHOP IS DECLARED 2 BIO SEATTLE SHIPPERS CANCEL LONGSHOREMEN'S AGREEMENT. Concerns Said to Have Conceded Union Demands In Part to Rnaa War Monitions to Russia. SEATTLE, Sept. 21. Mitsui & Co. and Frank Waterhouse & Co., two of the largest shipping firms engaged in the trans-Pacific trade out of Seattle, and which have been virtually the only big companies on the Seattle waterwront employing union longshoremen, today notified the international Longshore men's Association that hereafter they would operate on an open-shop basis, with the rate of pay In force at non union wharves. Both companies signed the scale de manded by the longshoremen soon after the waterfront strike began June 1. At the time it was said the companies had enormous shipments of war sup plies for Russia in their warehouses, which had to be moved immediately re gardless of cost. The congestion of freight has been relieved, and the com panies decided to cancel the agreement and conduct their business on the same basis as the other big employers who have been working cargoes with non union men. Only one company, the Humboldt Steamship Company, operating one vessel in the Alaska trade, now Is working under agreement with the longshoremen's union. DR. ROBERG IS AT BEND State Health Officer to Stop Folia tion of Deschutes. BEND. Or.. Sept- 21. (Special.) State Health Officer Roberg Is here this week arranging for the prosecu tion of owners and residents of prop erty situated on the banks of the Deschutes River, from which sewage matter is allowed to get into the stream. Dr. Roberg is acting under a statute passed by the 1911 Legislature and is making an effort to create pub lio sentiment against the nuisance. Because the local water supply is taken from a point several miles up the river there is no danger of pollution affecting the town, but tovsns and resi dents on irrigated lands below Bend are endangered. Dr. Roberg points out, and- stringent measures will be taken to remove. IXlS CELU89, CITY FACES STRIKE HMew York Mayor Issues Stern Warning Against Disorder.

It said, on the other hand, that the employes of the New York Railways Company and the other surfj.ee lines affected by the strike "were guilty of a breach" of contracts they had made with their employers which ended a tie-up on the eu.iace lines in July. The conference was attended by Mayor Mltchel, a citizens' committee, and the labor leaders. It ended In a deadlock. The Mayor later declared there was "no solution in sight." while members of the citizens' committee de scribed the situation as "hopeless," adding that "It would appear that both sides would have to fight it out." Strike of 700,000 Planned. Ernest Bohm. secretary of the Cen tral Federated Union, later asserted that plans were completed for a sym pathetic strike of 700,000 workers In other trades and that the "walkout" might begin tomorrow. Meanwhile the State Bureau of Me diatlon and Arbitration has sent notices to the leaders of the striking carmen and. the heads of the transit companies directing them to appear Delore the Board Monday, when hear ings ror tne purpose or rinding a way out or the deadlock would be started Sampel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, who at tended the Mayor's conference, declared that he was with the strikers "to the last ditch in their fight for the right to organize. Theodore P, Shonts. president of the Interborough Rapid Transit and the New York Railways Companies. Issued a statement in which he declared "that no union, men will be reinstated" by the Interborough. He said, however, that former employes on the surface cars of the New York Railways Com-j pany would be taken back, "provided they came free of unionism." The Merchants' Association today adopted resolutions characterizing the attempt of the union leaders to effect a general strike as a wanton dls turbance of industry. and calling on all public officials, state, county and city, to enforce the laws, "so that violations of order or destruction of property shall swiftly and adequately be punished. Those Who Keep Promises) Commended. The -association expressed Its "appre ciation of the service rendered to the public of this city by those employes of the transit lines who are honorably carrying out their agreements, satis factory alike to them and to their em ployers, under conditions of great dlr f lculty. whereby the proposed injury to the public has greatly been lessened.' The authorities took extra precau tlones tonight to prevent a recurrence of rioting which already has resulted in many innocent persons being hurt. In considerable property damage and more than S70 arrests. It was said that the automobile patrols along the affected transit lines would be Increased from 24 to 49 and the motorcycle squad from 60 to 100. There are C700 policemen on strike duty.

METHODS BEING REVEALED Wealthy Chicagoan Said t ,,' Have Been Compelled to Fay $5000 and Pro-ride $100,000 Trust Fond to Prevent Exposure. CHICAGO, Sept. Jl. (Special.) De spite their fight to have their trials held In this city, members of the al leged blackmail syndicate will be taken to New York. The Government has de cided on this, as every thread of the case has a New York end. - Attorney Erbsteln, for the prisoners, will make a hard effort at the hearing tomorrow to secure a two weeks' delay. He said tonight he would not press his demand tor return of the papers and other property of the prisoners, seized Ntn the raid upon the Tyson apartments, as the suspects bad told him they did not amount to much. The Government sleuths consider the pa pers highly important, especially the card Index, which gave the names of prospective victims, with voluminous data on the record of each person. Attorney Promises Sensation. Another development of the day was the announcement by Erbsteln that he would make Attorney Fleming, of the local prosecuting attorney's office, one of his witnesses and question htm closely on his alleged acquaintance and relations with Helen Evers, the "beauty" of the alleged syndicate and who Is now out under 123.000 bond. Erbsteln Intimates this testimony may be sensational. Still another develepment was the admission by Federal officials that un usual care was being taken to protect mnit Crocker, alias the "Boston Punk," alias the "Boston Count" and other aliases, who Is the chief "squealer." He gave the Government all the de tails of the robbery and kidnaping of Mrs. Regina Klipper, and it is said the Government had received warnings that Crocker would be assassinated for his treachery to his associates. Redaction of Ball Refused. - Erbsteln attempted today to obtain the release of Edward Donahue and Henry (Slick) Russell, who are still in Jail in default of J25.000 bail. Com missioner Foote declined to reduce the bond and the prisoners were unable to find sureties for the amount required. Meanwhile Helen Evers was busy throwing up fortifications around her alibi, and her attorney says the Gov ernment's case against her will not stand. He said he would call perhaps 60 witnesses, several of whom will tes tify that Miss Evers was in Chicago all the time the Government charges she was in Montreal helping hold Mrs. Klipper a prisoner. Gradually some alleged facts relative to the methods of the so-called black mailers specific instances of the way in which they are said to have gone about their work are coming out, and in at least one of these, a Chicagoan. name not revealed, is concerned.
