PRESIDENT WILL SEND
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS
.Washington, Nov. 12. A statement
of the United - States', policy toward
Mexico soon was today promised by
Secretary Bryan. It is believed it will
tie a message to congress and w"J re
iterate the view that the United States
never can recognize a government es
tablished by arbitrary force, nor ac
cept the acts of the new congress. It
will podnt out the steps necessary to
a solution of the situation. ,
Apparent developments In the for
eign capitals have encouraged the ad
ministration. The feeling grows that
the United States desire to prevent
interference by powers has been ac-
dor today told the state department
that the warship Izumo was dispatch
ed solely to protect Japanese in Mex
ico. - " -- r '
The. United States is bendiny every
effort. to have Huerta retire peaceably
, to avoid a. reign of anarchy when the
post. Is vacant. - It is believed confer -
. enoes between William Bayard , Hale
with General Caranza will open a
way to bring- about a settlement. The
difficulty has been to get the rebels
and the capital of Mexico in communi
cation. This opens the way through
the United States.

Bankers Suggest Few Plans for

continued today to hear suggestions
from bankers on what they deem
proper securities for the state to issue

An. Appropriation of $50,000
to inaugurate Such a
Movement in State of

Sugar Growing Which
May Suffer Under the
New Tax.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.
Washington, Nov. 12. Appropria
tion of 150,000 for federal live stock
experiments in Iouislana will be ask
ed of congress by Secretary Houston
to -help Louisiana sugar planters, who
fear their industry will be ruined by
removal of the tariff on, sugar.
Secretary Houston also has written
to Dr. W. R. Dodson,,in charge of the
Louisiana state experiment station,
and to Senator Ransdell and Repre
sentative .Brousaard, who especially
are interested in the sugar situation,
telling them . the state must coopera
ate if the experiments are to be suc
cessful The secretary believes cattle and
hog raising can be conducted profit
ably to take the place, either in whole
or part, of sugar growing. ' and that
also in the cotton section of Louisiana
cattle might be raised so that planters
would not be dependent on the cotton
crop alone, which this year has been
badly injured by the boll weevil and
unfavorable weather Secretary Hous
ton asks the state to set apart 500
acres on , which to conduct the live
stock experiments. He will ask that
part of the federal appropriation be
made available immediately. ;
Although not yet ready to reeora-!
mend a sudden radical change . from
sugar to live stock, the aecretairy
strongly Inclines to the belief, that
experiments will prove that such a
change , will be the salvation of the
Louisiana, farmers." - He bases his
opinion, he says, largely on a report

LIMIT AUTHORITY

Washington, Nov. 12. The secretary
of war has no authority to make rec
ommendations designed to dictate the
number of officers and men of the
militia necessary to constitute a rifle
camp of Instruction, whose officers and
men shall be paid under the militia
act. Comptroller of the treasury Dow
ney, financial arbiter of such questions
decided so todayi ' - " .
The case arose when . the auditor of

J representing six - companies were
present was not - an encampment rec
ognized by the . war department. He
cited regulations of ' the secretary of

been suggested that the interest rate
be raised to 5 at which it is believed
the bonds con hi be sold easily. It is I
generally believed that the bonds as
provided in the administration plan
would not bring, under present finan
cial oonditloos, more than 96 and pos
sibly 97. In this respect Oklahoma's
failure to float about $3,000,000 worth
of 4 1-2 per cent bonds at par re
cently is pointed out.
Whatever is decided upon the prop
er issue, however, it seems certain
that the convention will provide ready
funds by January through the medium
of the short term certificates to be
sold should the proposed bond issue

as quickly 83 possible, the - committee
is holding long sessions each day and

PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO MAKE
EXAMINATIONS OF PUPILS
At a. - meeting- of the Escambia
County Medical Society Tuesday night
physicians - were assigned to the dif
ferent schools in the city for the pur
pose of examining the children. This
very important matter some time ago
was brought to." the attention of the
local public health commsision, and
by that body referred to the Escambia
Medical Society, with the result that
a committee of three was appointed
to map out a plan and assign those
physicians volunteering to do the work
to the different schools. With a few
exceptions, all the physicians In town
have tendered their services.
It may be stated right here that
this is not a movement started by any
individual, but was inaugurated by
the Pensacola public health commis
sion and the Escambia County Medi
cal Society and it is these two associa
tions which ieserve the credit for the
good work which is being done and
which ' will so greatly Improve the
fcealth' of the pupils. It means that
every child in the public schools will
receive a free medical examination by
volunteering physicians, and in this
connection it might be stated that
quite a few dentists have also tendered
their services in this cause.
' The real work of examination will
be started at an early date, and it
may be stated very emphatically that
this Is another top in the fight for
public health.
Crmldren will be examined for the
following: Nutrition, pediculosis, ade
noids, nervous diseases, weight, nasal
breathing; glands, othopedic defect,
mentality, pulmonary disease, teeth,
skin diseases, tonsils, palate defects,
and if vaccinated properly. Treatment.
If needed, will be advised kindly, and
if a child's are unable to attend to it.

New Orleans, Nov. 12. Women suf

af ter organizing a southern conference
of suffragists and a new state body.
Miss Kate M. Gordon of New Orleans
was elected president of the body em
bracing the southern states.
This organization will be known as
the Southern States Woman's Suffrage
Conference and will hold annual
meetings. The chief contention in
forming this organization was whether
it would stand for state rights and
whether the words "states rights"
should be embodied in the name. It
was deemed expedient to eliminate
these words but it is understood this
organization will stand for trying to
gain votes for women through amend
ments to state constitutions . rather
than a federal measure as advocated
by the National Women's Suffrage or
ganization. Other officers of the conference
elected this afternoon are:
Miss Laura Clay of Kentucky, vice

Boarded Steamer Alexan

gees from Mexico, some of whom had
been there for the past four years,
reached Pensacola yesterday aboard
Che steamship Alexandrian, from Tam
pico and Vera Cruz, and left the city
last night for a number of points in
Che United States. Not one of them
thought of returning to the country
where they acknowledged turbulenc
reigned supreme, but they said that
Americans in the cities were safe. In
fact, said one of the gentlemen, Mex
icans looked up to and had the high
est respect for American , or United
States citizens, within the cities. "Out
side of the cities, however," he con
tinued, 'nhings are very shaky, and
none are too safe out there. Nobody
knows what is going to happen and
not a great many of them even know
who the president is. We did not
know, could not make a safe guess,
and that is the way with a great many
people of Mexico they are not sure
just who is their president. I bought
a paper myself to find out on my ar
rival here. No, I cannot say that we,
or at least, I, am running from im
pending danger. I was in the City
of Mexico itself, and just took this op
portunity of coming to the states."

service.
SOME MEXICAN CONDITIONS.
"There is one thing that can be
said of the country," remarked on of
the gentlemen, "and that is if an in
vading party goes into the interior of
the country from the United States,
say, to Mexico City from Vera Cruz,
some strenuous marching will have to
be done. It Is true there are two lines
of railroad from Vera Cruz to Mexico
City, but it Is possible there wouki b
nothing much left of the railroad
should an invasion by a foreign na
tion be attempted. That would fore
a march of two hundred miles, and
there is where the hard part of it
would come-in. Soldiers would, have
to hike over a mountainous section,
one height of eleven thousand feet
being in the way. That and other
tilings which would interfere with th
movement of a column, would not
make it an easy matter for the capi
tal to be reached."
"How do the people feel toward thl
country; are they anyway friendly?"
he was asked.
"In the cities, citizens of the United
States are, just now. even highly re
spected, and are looked up to. Not so
in the outlying districts, I should
Judge."
"Which is the more favored side of
the contending forces in Mexico now?"
"It is a sure thing that the rebels
could enlist the greater part of the
fighting strength of the country, and
men would more readily side with
the rebel army. In fact, should it
come to a showdown, it is my opinion
that regular soldiers would not hesi
tate to go with the rebels."
Tn case this country should mw
on Mexico, what length of time, do
you think, the capital could hold out,
in the way of supplies?"
(Continued on Page Eight)
frankly stated that he would bo glad
to serve the administration in any way
in which the president thought he
could serve it successfully, but that
he did not feel that he could conscien
tiously obligate himself to serve ho
full ordinary 'term of a foreign ap
pointment, because he did not feel cat
he could leave his business so long.
The president asked him to accept it
for as long a time as he could stay,
and he consented.
"This is a full statement of a mat
ter which has been grossly misrepre
sented. The president will not allow
malicious representations to interfere
with his right to nominate to the sen
ate the best qualified men within his
choice for conspicuous and responsible
positions."
Mr. Bryan, in making public hi
statement, declared the Pindell ind-.
dent closed.
