urged that while there are still some

MEXICO CUT, Nov. 21. The
Mexican congress is scheduled to
lake up this afternoon the matter of
the recent election. The general Im-
i presslon here is that the members
ot congress will declare it Invalid as
to the ballot on . president and vice
president and perhaps may decide
that their own election has been In
valid. The entire city Is convinced that
Huerta will cling to his office until
his acts as dictator have been im
proved and it Is hard to see how the
meeting of the congress Is going to
improve the situation.
The city Is facing a fuel famine,
there being less than 1000 tons of
coal here and it ' mpossible to get
more. Only 24 000 barrels of oil re
main. Business is practically sus
pended and hundreds of business men
are bankrupt. .Thousands of the
poor class are said to be starving.

Numberless faiolnt's which before

In reference to international rela
tions neither Huerta. nor O'Shaugh
nessy will dscuss what moves they
have contemplated.
There was no confirmation today
of the report that the rebels have
captured Tampico.
Conflrmatin was received today of
the story that Daniel and Evaristo
Madero with several of their friends,
who arc charged wl'H political offens
es and were out on ball, took refuge
at the American consulate at Vera
Cruz when they were summoned be
fore General Maaa, the military com
mander there. United States Consul
Canada has telegraphed to Washing

definitely if Maas has asked for their
surrender.

SPRING FOLLOWS OLI j
WINTER. IN THE EAST
CHICAGO. Nov. 21. Spring-
like weather followed close in
the wake of the recent blizzard
throughout the entire country
east of the Rocky mountains.
Light clothing and sunshades re-
placed overcoats winter flannels
and furs in the middle west and
Atlantic states, Georgia and the
Carolinas were the only states
where normal fall weather was
reported.
Reports from Kansas say trees
are budding and dandel'ons are-
in bloom. Roses and other bios-
soma are reported to have ap-
poared on out of door plants at
half a dozen places on the
north Atlantic seaboard.
New November records were
established In Pennsylvania In-
diana, Ohio, Illinois, New York
unl Virginia.
At Atlantic City white flannels
and other mid-summer garb op-
reared on the board walks and
hundreds of surf bathers took
advantage of the temperature
of 76 degrees.
CREDITS ARE GRANTED ON
PUPILS TAKING MUSIC
Marking a progressive step In the
school work of the eitv is the policy
adopted by Supt. J. S. Landers, Prin
cipal Hamptcn and their assistants in
granting school credit for music ta
ken from accredited teachers on the
outside. Certain conditions are im
posed upon the student and, upon
satisfactory evidence that these con
ditions have been met. the credits are
granted and count toward graduation,
If a student takes two lessons a
week from an accredited teacher and
practices for an hour and a half each
day. a high school credit Is granted
each semester. The same credit is
allowed to those who take only one
lesson a week but whose practice is
two hours da'ly. Certificates that
these conditions have been met must
be signed by both the teacher and
the parent or guardian.
In adopting this policy the school
authorities recognize music as a part
of the education of a girl. The pol
icy works to the advantage of both
the student and the school and par
ents, too, are appreciative ot the ex
tra Interest it arouses In their chil
dren. NO NEW YEAR'S RECEPTION

WASHINGTON. Nov. 21. By an

dred years. Instead of holding a re
ception, the president said he would
leave Washington for a "brief holi
day vocation."

memory of man runneth not to the
contrary each has a high school foot
ball team at Round-up Park this af
ternoon to defend its honor. That it
is a Pendleton-Walla Walla game la
sufficient to make It hotly contested
tffair but the fact that each team hn
licked every thing that wears molt

teason for a clash such as is not se.tii
every day.
The Walla Walla team Came n thli

lot of young fellows and will prubablv
outweigh the Pendleton boys man to

MISS MARGARET WIUSON FAVors I'KN TO
MAKE ALL SCHOOL HOUSES SOCIAL CKNTERS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 21. "Private Interests are organized; there-
fore they are powerful. Only when public Interest Is organized will
the supremacy of the common interest be universally recognized.
Thus Margaret Wilson, tho president's daughter, summed up thai
pivotal point in the movement for the use of the nation's echool-
houses as social centers, in an exclusive Interview accorded the Unit.
ed Press. Miss Wilson had the opportunity to study the operation
of the plan during a visit In Madison. Wisconsin, and she sees In it
the closer study by the people of governmental economics and pollt-
lea problems.
"The machinery for this organization of the public Interest is the
common school system, with every schoolhouse used' as a social cen-
ter," she said. "Every school building should be made a polling
place In its district and when voting, the body of each district
should be organized Into a deliberate body for the free discussion '
of puh'ie questions.
"It seems to be axiomatic that there should be the same provision
for an all sided discussion on th part of the citizens before they
vote as there Is for aldormen and state legislators or any other
agents of the citizens." '

HARVARD-YALE GAME
TO BE FOUGHT HARD
I (By Hal Sheridan. Written for the
United Press.)
NEW YORK. Nov. 21. Every
thing was poised today for the BLT
Splash in football for this year. The
annual Yale-Harvard tussle is on the
brink of being called and with these
two old rivals ' at each other's
throats on Saturday some tall and
lofty footballing is always on tap.
Yale or Harvard may be booted and
abased by other teams' during the
season, but when they are turned
loose on each other things are dif
ferent. A new fire springs up where
spirits lagged before, and the team
that wins always comes out with an
understanding of what it means to
be in a fight.
Yale is usually represented as a
fierce looking bull dog. with ' over
hanging Jaw. But the team this year
In the early games, qualified nearer
I t.i the sky terrier clas.s Way back
in this terriers' breeding, however,
will be found a strain of the ancient
bull dog which the New Haven root
ers expect to cling on to the son
of John Harvard to the limit. It
might be added. Just for the sake of
argument .however, that at Cam
bridge this expectation Is regarded
as containing more bull than dog.
Harvard is picked to w n. and
should win Saturday. If the Crimson
lives up to expectations, Capt Stor
er's team will turn the trick of hav
ing defeated Yale In two successive
years for the first time In history.
Harvard came out on top last year by
