No Pomp at the Inaugural
(Associated Press)
MEXICO CITY, Doc. I.—President
Porririo Liv/, tonight issued to the As
sociate. Press the following message
addressed to all nations, on the occa
sion of his. inauguration for the eighth
time as chief executive of Mexico:
"It is very gratifying to me to say
that my heart is full of faith In tho
progress of a people which, like the
Mexican, lias known how to conquer
by Its own efforts a place among the
lovers of toll after having proved its
valor In war in patriotic defense of
country.
,"I am 'also glad today more than
ever I can declare that Mexico belongs
definitely to tiio group of nations of
assured stability, because against the
firm guarantee of peaoo which we pos
sess no Influence tending toward its
dissolution can now or ever prevail.
"As to the relations between Mexico
and the United States' and. other
friendly nations, never have they been
more cordial, as was Indicated in a
convincing manner during the celebra
tion of the centennial of Mexico's in
dependence."
Peaceably, the ceremonies attending
the taking of oath of fealty by Dla_
and Ramon Corral, recently re-elected
president and vice president, respect
ively, were held today. There was no
discordant note and If the occasion
was thorn of some of the brilliant
features of former years by reason of
recent revolutionary disturbances,
there was no lack of dignified cere
monial.
GLAD WHEN ITS OVER
Notwithstanding a realization oh the
part of everyone that the possibility
of any attempt by foes of the Diaz
administration to interfere with to
day's inauguration was remote, there
was a feeling of relief apparent among
the people at large, doubtless shared
by those In authority, when the event
was concluded.
There will be no change ln the per
sonnel of the cabinet. In accordance
with custom each of the ministers sub
mitted his resignation to the chief
executive through the minister of for
eign relations. Each was asked, how
ever, to retain his portfolio.
Following is tho cabinet as re-ap
pointed: ;
Minister of foreign relations—En
rique C. Creel. ,
Minister of Justice— Fernan
dez.
Minister of public instructions—
Sierra.
Minister of fomento— Mo
lina. ■'-■- ,"" ■ ' .
Minister of communication and pub
lic Leandro Fernandez.
Minister of war and marine—
Manuel Gonzales Coslo.
The Inauguration and ceremonies oc
curred in the temporary quarters of
the chamber of deputies in the palace.
The hall was undecorated, plain and
austere, the only emblem visible being
a bronze coat of arms suspended on
the wall back of the speaker's table.
Along the sides of the hall were
seated 'the senators and deputies. At
the rear sat a few specially invited
guests and above those In a balcony
were the diplomatic representatives.

BALFOUR'S PLANS
SPLIT HIS PARTY
ON TARIFF ISSUE
English Opposition Leader's Pur
pose to Submit Question to
Referendum Causes Alarm
LIBERALS GAIN ARGUMENTS
Winston Churchill Has a Special
Guard of Detectives During
Speech at Dundee
__________ * *
i
. [Associated Press]
LONDON, Dec. I.—There Is a possi
bility of an unexpected result In the 1
attempt by A. J. Balfour, opposition
leader, to remove tariff reform from
the Immediate field of politics.
The question looms larger than ever
in the campaign tonight, so that Mr.
Balfour himself, In a speech at Read
ing, was fain to explain that his party
had not altered its views on this sub
ject, and that tariff reform was still a
chief plank In the party's constructive
policy; but he explained the Unionists
needed to obtain the formal and ex
plicit consent of the people thereto.
The policy of referendum, he said, was
consistent with the true Idea of pop
ular government.
ARGUMENTS FOR LIBERALS
Balfour's pronouncement, November
29, that he was willing to submit tariff
reform to a referendum, has rather
sundered than knit his party and has
supplied the Liberals with another ef
fective argument against tariff re
form, namely, that Mr. Balfour has
been compelled to sidetrack it.
Interest ln the speeches tonight cen
tered in Premier Asquith's reply to
Balfour at a meeting in Wolverhamp
ton. The premier said:
"We are living in times of rapid
movement, when It is a relief to wake
any morning and not And some fresh
part of the constitution reconstructed."
He described Mr. Balfour's "about
face" on the question of the reform
of the house of lords and on tariff as
"unique, almost Indecent."
Speaking on the referendum, the
premier said that after a study of the
working of the system In foreign coun
tries he arrived at the conclusion that
It had proved a most unsatisfactory
and disappointing method of ascer
taining public opinion.
Winston Spencer Churchill, home
secretary, addressed several meetings
at Dundee tonight. The home secre
tary had a special guard of detectives
to protect him against suffragist at
tentions. .' , .
STRANGER'S TONGUE LASHES
WOMEN AT FEDERATION
Sneers at Rich Sisters Who Had
Scored Suffragettes
(Special to The Herald)
SAN BERNARDINO, Cal., Dec. I.—
A sensation was caused at the Wom
en's Federation meeting this afternoon
when a woman, a stranger, replying
to an anti-suffragette address by Mrs.
Edward Roberts, indulged in stinging
personalities. Mrs. Roberts had stated
that in a recent visit in London she
had seen a suffragette enthusiast,
dressed in velvet though claiming to
be a millhand, and thought that her
dress belled any existing grievance.
Given three minutes to reply, the
woman, In forceful but excellent Eng
lish, declared herself a New England
millhand, recited the poverty and hard
ships of her class, saying many a
woman had even to sell her soul to
lustful men for bread, "and," vehe
mently declared the speaker, fixing her
flashing eyes on Mrs. Roberts, "I have
never been like some bankers' wives,
who can trot off in fine raiment to
Europe."
The suffrage topic had been fought
with warmth, but this brought an elec
tric climax, the session closing In an
uproar.

RISK DUCKING TO
REACH IR BOATS
Strenuous Entertainment for Nip
ponese Visitors Here for
Nine Days' Stay
Moving slowly through the fog and
mint of the early morning off Point
Firmin, the Japanese training cruis
ers Asama and Kasagi sought their
anchorage in the outer harbor at San
Pedro early yesterday morning. In a
few minutes the vessels, which had
come up through the fog shadowy and
indistinct, were swinging at their
anchors, and not many minutes later
the reception committee comprising
the most prominent Japanese in Los
Angeles had boarded the cruisers and
extended Its welcome.
Then came the rush. Thousands of
Japanese, representing all the cities
south of Tehachapi, had headed to
ward Los Angeles harbor to see their
countrymen. . Every available craft
was used to take them out to the

the thousand.
The cruisers are to be here nine days
and today the program of entertain
ment is to be started. There are 148
midshipmen and sixty officers on the
cruisers.
The Nipponese fleet was welcomed
by a reception committee consisting of
seventy-five prominent local Japanese
—and such a welcome was tendered
that the first words uttered' by Rear
Admiral Rokuro Yashlro on greeting
the committee were words of praise for
Southern California and its hospitality.
The two cruisers were sighted off
Point Firmin lighthouse at 7:30 a. m.
They came on slowly from out the
heavy mist which hung over the har
bor, their dark - brown hulks scarcely
visible and in strange contrast to the
white of the American battleships.
COMMITTEE EXTENDS WELCOME
Scarcely had the ships dropped
anchor In the outer harbor before a
chartered launch, bearing the local
committee, went alongside the Asama,
flagship of Admiral Yashlro. The com
mitteemen, headed by the Rev. T. Ko
muro, president of the. Japanese asso
ciation, went on board, where they
were met by Admiral Yashlro and his
two principal staff officers. Lieutenant
Commander Eisuki Yamamoto and
Lieutenant Nobujlro, flag lieutenants
of the fleet.
The admiral, as he grasped the hand
of the Rev. Mr. Komuro, stated that
Southern California had, as usual, out

FOSS MAKE NEW
ATTACK ON LODGE
Governor-Elect of Massachusetts
Vigorously Assails Record
of United States Senator
PROVINCETOWN, Mass., Dec. I.—
The speaking term of Governor-elect
Foss, against the return of Henry Ca
bot Lodge to the United States sen
ate began here tonight.
In beginning his address, Mr. Foss
said the verdict of the people of
Cape Cod in electing him to congress
last spring, "sealed the doom of Can
nonlsm," compelled the national ad
ministration to seek reciprocal trade
relations with Canada; caused Sena
tors .Aldrlch and Hale to abdicate their
seats in the senate, and gave the coun
try at large the first real hope of tar-
In* revision.
Speaking directly of Senator Lodge,
Mr. Fobs said:
"Working on in silence and secrecy,
he resorts to his self-constituted po
litical machine, the machine which
has dominated Massachusetts politi
cally for years. He is seeking the
counsels of those wham ho serves, the
privileged Interests, and has ignored
the verdict of the people. He has
ignored th.- [act that he should repre
sent the people and considers that he
by the representative of special In
terests, believing that their indorse
ment Is all-sufficient for him."
Mr. Foss assailed Mr. D' dge's rec
ord in. the senate, contending the sena
tor was hostile to reciprocity with
Canada, and had killed the Hay-Bond
reciprocity treaty with Newfoundland.
"What legislation In the interests of
the people bears ids name?" asked Mr.
Foss, who answered his own question
by saying, "only one bill that I re
call bears his name, and that Is the
Force bill a measure that causes
every honest man to blush."
SAYS Y. M. C. A. IS ONE
OF GREAT WORLD BODIES
1 NEW YORK, Dec. 1.—"I heard a
Wall street man say the other day
that the three greatest bodies in the
world were Tammany hall, the Stan,
darcl Oil and the international com
mittee of the Y. M. C. A."
Such was the description of itself
that the International committee heard
tonight from Dr. George F. Fisher,
himself a prominent Y. M. C. A.
worker, at its forty-ninth annual ban
quet In commemoration of its forma
tion.
Cornell- Bliss, Charles m, Pugh,
senior vice president Of the Pennsyl

magnate, and other prominent men sat
at the speaker's table.
THE HOME PAPER OF
GREATER LOS ANGELES
MASTER OF ALDEN
BESSE TO GO FREE;
RIDGEWAY RESIGNS
Immigration Chief Succeeded by
Famed Coolie Catcher; Hunt
for Smugglers On
U. S. CUTTER IS ON WATCH
Federal Officials on Government
Vessel After Oriental
Law Violators
With the United States revenue cut
ter Bear, loaded with immigration offi
cers, patrolling the California coast
from the Mexican line north to Santa
Monica in search of Chinese smugglnlg
craft, and wtih Charles T. Connell, a
noted coolie catcher, just arrived in
Los Angeles to bo inspector of immi
gration, vice Arthur Ridgeway, re
signed, affairs are humming in federal
circles and a determined effort by tho
United States government completely
to crush the smuggling traffic In Mon
golians on the Southern California
coast has begun.
The resignation of Rldgeway became
public yesterday. For three years ho
has been inspector of immigration in
Los Angeles. According to current re
port at the federal building yesterday
he Is now on his way to Washington to
confer with authorities there on mat
ters pertaining to the recent conduct
of his office.
Coincident with the resignation of
Rldgeway came the announcement last
night that J. W. McAllister, captain of
the bark Alden Besse, whom Ridker
way was pratlcularly Insistent ln prose
cuting. is to be freed of all charges
and released from prison this morning.
Shortly after midnight United States
Marshal Leo Youngworth confirmed the
report that Washington had ordered
the dismissal of the charges against
McAllister and that the old sea dog
immediately would be released from
custody. It Is reported that the efforts
of United States Senator Frank Flint
at the capital and Attorney Frank Do
mlnguez In this city had a large part
to play in securing the release of the
captain of the Alden Besse. The re
lease of McAllister is said to have a
direct bearing on the resignation of
Rldgeway. McAllister has been held
here for weeks on the charge that he,
allowed two aliens placed in his charge
to escape from custody, although they
were starving at the time and the cap
tain had no food with which to feed
them.
It is stated that there Is no connection
between the resignation of Rldgeway
and the activity in the Chinese smug
gling cases, although an expert in com
bating the smuggling game has been
now stationed here in the person of
Connell.
The immigration officers who are now
patrolling the coast on the Bear are
searching for two gasoline vessels re
ported to be en route north from Ma
zatlan, loaded with Chinese whom it is
intended to smuggle into this country-
According to the report, the smug
gling craft left Mazatlan some weeks
ago, loaded with Chinese who havo
paid the smuggling fee to be put on
American shores. . )
According to the report, one of the
vessels contains twenty Chinese and
the other eighteen. If the smugglers
should ' succeed in passing the revenue)
cutter it is probable they will run In
close to shore, under the cover of night,
and land their human cargoes some
where between San Diego and Santa
Monica.
Charles T. Connell, for eight i years
chief inspector of immigration at Tuc
son, Ariz., assumed Ridgeway's for
mer duties as inspector here yesterday.
Mr. Connell was accompanied to his
new post by F. W. Berkshire, super
vising inspector for the immigration
district of the entire southwest, who
will remain with him for several days
until he is familiar with his new duties.

as a surprise to government attaches in
the new federal building. it is said
that complaints have been registered at
Washington against the former official
to the effect that he prosecuted some
cases vigorously and was lax in the
prosecution of others.
Cases In the federal court often re
sulting In dismissals after the defend
ants had suffered long periods of Im
prisonment in the county jail also are
said to have caused criticism of Ridge
way at Washington. It is also s£.ld by
federal officers that the former Immi
gration officer did not mork ta harmo
ny with them. I
"Mr. Rldgewya has been summoned
east on Important business," said a
young woman employed at the Ridge
way home at 1639 West Twenty-fourth
street, yesterday. "lie will not be back
for several weeks."
Inspector Council would havo nothing
to say lii regard to the matter yester
day further than to state that he had
knowledge to the effect that numerous
Chinese were being smuggled over tho
border and his office would take imme
diate ".tops to halt them and capture
the smugglers. „*:" V"", *

participated In many of its stirring
events for more than a quarter of a
century. He is thoroughly experienced
