M
liXICO CITY. Mex, Oct. 28The
French minister has appealed
to the American charge. Nelson
O'Shaugnnessy, for aid for the
French colony at Santa Ignaclo, state
of Sinaloa. The place is said to have
been taken by rebels "and the French
residents are in danger.
As no French warship is availatjlo,
the minister has asked that an Ameri
can warship be sent.
Troop Train Dynamited.
A troop train on the National rail
way was dynamited by rebels near San
Salvador, in the state of Zacatecas and
15 were killed, according- to a dispatch
'from Saltillo. No details have been re
ceived here.
. Rebel's Burn Cars at 3Ionterey.
The rebels who attacked Monterey
last week held possession of the rail
road yards and steel works for three
days before being driven back by the
federal troops.
Before they left, the rebels burned
250 railroad cars and destroyed several
locomotives.
Claim Majority For Gnmlioa.
Out of 970 polling places in tne fed
eral .district, the Catholic party leaders
claim a majority in 920 for their can
didates, Tederlco Gam'joa and general
Rascon. ' This claim, they say, is based
on . returns reported by the
party
'watchers at the polls.
The returns from Colima. Guadalu-
jara and other smaller towns also in
dicate Catholic majorities. Huerta and
Blanquet received majorities in a num
ber of places. It is said by many poli
ticians that enough votes had been cast
for the Huerta-Blanquet ticket to in
validate the election In - "ew of Huerta's
declaration that congress would declare
the election invalid, if the voters cast
their ballots for him.
The hope is held out that the "Ayu
mento," a body resembling in a small
degree -a board of aldermen, will have
prepared its report for-the federal dis
trict by the end of the week.
- Interior Vote Is For Huerta.
'ine minister or tne interior, senor
Aldape. claims Huerta-Blanquet jdc -
umwwrorfes tj, tne. half -dozen nntertbr-cUTes

received.

state of Nuevo Leon, gave an unani

which will decide the letralitv of the
elections, apart from the absence of
fraud, will not be whether a majority
of voters in each electoral district cast
votes; it being Immaterial, for instance,
if only 10,000 people in this capital
cast their ballots.
"The essential thing," senor Aldape
explained, "Is that the returns come
in from a majority of the electoral dis
tricts and that the elections held there
have been fair, even though only a
small proportion of the voters may have
availed themselves of the privilege of
voting."
Will Void Vote For Huerta.
With regard to the vote for provis
ional president Huerta and minister of
war Blanque.t, he said:
"I have no'news of any great number
of votes being cast for Huerta and
Blanquet Those which have been cast
for Huerta and Blanquet will be thrown
out on the ground of unconstitution
ality In accordance with the president's
decision."

San Luis Potosl, Mex., Oct. 28. Post
ers announcing the candidacy of Huer
ta and Blanquet and calling upon the
people to vote for "men of steel," and
to beware of being misled in these crit
ical times, kept many of the voters
away from the polls In Sunday's elec
tion here. Of the few votes cast
Federico Gamboa, candidate of the
Catholic party, received the majority.
Posters also announced the birth of
a new party called "Anti-Interventionist"
All other posters were prohibited
under threats of arrest
News from the surrounding country
ind'eates the number of marauding
parties has not diminished. Ranchers
are hurrying to the city in terror, hav
ing abandoned their property. The
boldness of the rebels is incseaing.
There is little fear of an attack on this
city for the present, there being no
rebel leaders of importance In the
neighborhood. The number of troops
here is small but quickly could be In
creased in case of emergency.

(By Frederic J. UnsIiinO
WASHINGTON, D. C. Oct. 28
That a'new banking system for
farmers'wlll be established un-
der federal lawj
culsion. Presld
seems a foregone con
nt Wilson has declared
that after the pending general cur
rency legislation Is out of the way, the
next duty of the administration is to
ward the American farmer and his pe
culiar needs. He'expects to make rural
credit legislation an administration
policy, just as he has done with the
tariff and the currency.
Just what shape this legislation fin
ally will take cannot be predicted at
this time, but the indications 'are that
it may follow the general lines of the
b'll Introduced by senator Fletcher of
Florida. This bill provides for an en
tirely new banking system In the
United States.
Would Consist of Three Types.
This system will consist of three
types of banks, the local bank, the
state bank, and the central bank. The
local oans. it i3 pro. o shall be an
association of residents cr real estate
owners of a community, not less than
10 in number, with a capital of not less
than $2,000, and with stock of a par
value of $10 per share. The state bank
will be-an association of not less than
30 local banks, a ad wU render the
same sort of service to these local
banks that that the local bank renders
its members.
After the state banks have been or
ganized in at least 12 states, they, in
turn, will ft rm a natiui::-! ban!:, whicn
jtlllsfirve as the eanstone oC-the bank
rfflj - pTrsmfa" lipon wBTcliT-ufal credits'
vill resr ihls great cerlral bank will
be controled by the government and
will be fs!ed with every fupctlon that
can add to its efficiency as the great
national clearing house of rural credits.
Bach local bank shall have not less
than 200 shares at $10 per share, and
each share shall be entitled to one
vote, except that no one stockholder
can vote more than 10 per cent of the
stock of the bank; nor can any one per
son own more than 20 per cent of a
bank's stock. Dividends shall in no
case exceed 15 per cent per year. Every
stockholder will be liable for twice his
jr inite ilia
holdings In stock and
SUrplUS Until
such time as the bank shall have earned
surplus equal to the amount of Its stock
and paldin surplus. This paidin sur
plus raus; amount to at least $15 per
share. From this it will be seen that
the bank must have assets of at least
J50 per shrre beii-e the liability of
the stockholder for double the amount
of capital and paidin surplus shall
cease.
Directors Held Responsible.
Each local bank Is to be managed
by a board of not less than seven mem
bers, and each director shall be person
ally liable, jointly and severally, both
to the bank and to its ' creditors, for
exess Ionic and fo; leans made con
trary to law. No loan in excess of $100
or for more than 90-days, shallbe made
without the approval of the board,
-'hile real estate loans running for
more than a year must bear the ap
proval of a majority of the board, each
member signing his name in the record
book to attest his approval.
The directors must meett least once
a month, and meantime the bank's af
fair will be presided over by two com
mittees one on administration and
one on appraisements, the one looking
after the work of the bank and the oth
er placing a value up'on property upon
which loans are to be based.
Will Av.Id Commercial Business.
The banks are to try to avoid com
mercial business as much as possible,
altho'ich Uey will bj allowed to do a
savings bank business. They will make
a specialty of time deposits, receiving

SUPS PAST HUERTA SPIES
Accompanied By Two Others, Flight Is Made Over Rdbf
Tops Into the American Consulate, Where Consul
Signals for a Launch Refugees Elude" Mexi
can Officials and Are Taken Aboard
the U. S. Ship.
VERACRUZ, Mex, Oct 28. General
Felix Diaz, Jose Sandoval and
Cecilio Ocon today are aboard tho
American gunboat Wheeling, having
sought refuge of the American authori
ties. The fast that Gen. Diaz and two of
his supporters were refugees on board
the Wheeling was not discovered by
the Mexican authorities until this
mornintr. The flierht took Dlace after
midnight, the three men taking the risk
of an excursion over the roof tops,
which were guarded by armed men,
into the American consulate.
Thinks Life Is In Peril.
It was late last evening then Gen.
Diaz convinced of the advisability of
seeking American protection. He went
to the United States consulate and in
formed consul Wm. W. Canada that he
had received information that his life
was ,ln peril. He told the consul that
a number of his adherents had been put
in jail.
Gen. Diaz was accompanied by San
doval and Ocon, who also requested
protection for themselves.
Hurried Aboard Gunboat.
The American consul at once took
steps to have the refugees transferred
on board the gunboat Wheeling, which
was lying in the harbor. Tho three
Mexican rugltlves and Alexander Wil
liams, an American newspaper man,
were taken to a small boat and hurried
on board the American warship, where
they were given accommodations.
Slip Into Consulate.
Gen. Diaz with Jose Sandoval Cecilio
Coon dropped over a low wall and made
their way into one of the rear rooms
of the consulate. When they arrived
inside the room, they asked that consul
William W. Canada be called. Appar
ently suffering from great excitement,
they assured him when he came that
their lives were- -in- immediate-tlanger.
They declared that they had knowledge
that orders for their arrest had been
Issued and they begged for his pro
tection. In reply, consul Canada pointed to the
water front some 200 yards distant
"There's a launch there." he said.
"You'd better make a run for it"
The fugitives hesitated for some time
to make the venture, as the street in
front of the American consulate was
patroled by detectives. When they
finally left the door of the consulate
the detectives on duty apparently did
not recognize them and they walked de-
. nberatelv through th street tn the- -nfer-
,,.,-,- thor nrmaiitnl a Of,r-r, tVtt nn.
sul Canada to the officer in command
of the launch. ,
Safe on the Wheeling.
The American navy officer hurried
them on board, the launch cast off.
steamed quickly across the harbor to
the Wheeling and put them on board.
The detectives in front of the hotel
and about the streets still were watch
ing the place long after daylight
Consul Canada had not Informed the
Mexican authorities up to 9 o'clock this
morning of the flight of Gen. Diaz dur
ing the night nor had the authorities
ordered the removal" of the detectives
who remained guarding the deserted
rooms of the hotel.
The action of the American consul In
assisting Gen. Diaz in his flight had re
ceived the prior approval of the gov
ernment at Washington.
Consul Canada signaled to the Wheel
ing for a boat to be sent ashore after
Diaz had made his way into the con
sulate building.
Fear Being Shot.
Gen. Diaz and his companion, once
on board the Wheeling, soon recdvered
their composure, but reiterated their
belief that they were to have been shot
today.
Sandoval's Career.
Jose Bonales Sandoval, the other fu
gitive, was an attorney in Mexico City
and an adherent of the late Gen. Ber
nardo Reyes, at one time secretary of
war, who was shot while leading th
rebels toward the national palace dur
ing the attack by Gen. Felix Diaz in
February of this year.
Sandoval was arrested on March 24,
1912, in Mexico City, charged with re
bellion, when he camo there with what

Dine Without Xews.
Failure to receive a communication
from the capital regarding his retire
ment from the army left Felix Diaz in
doubt as to his plans for the future.

day was one announcing the death of
Gen. Jose Diaz Ordaz, the former com
mander of the federal garrison at Vera
cruz, who joined him In the revolt a

Farcial Elections Have Fore-'
ed This Conclusion From
Officials.
SENATORS AGALNST
THE PLAN AS YET,
President Wilson and Secre
tary Bryan Much Worried
Over Situation.
ASHIXGTOX, D. C Oct. 25?
There is now hardly any doujt
In Washington that the United
States is swiftly deciding toward in
tervention in Mexico.
The fact that the outcome of the
Mexican elections was apparently a
farce, has deepened the feeling of pes
simism and gloom in the senate foreign
relations committee over the situation.
It is felt In the committee that the)
Mexican situation is practically backs
where it started; that nothing has
been accomplished and that the prob
lem is as remote from solution, as
ever.
Senator Stone, ranking Democratic
member of the committee, -when asked
today concerning Mexican affairs, saldtt
"The election apparently turned out
to he tt farce; just what was to be ex-
peeted. It seems to me that the sitna-H
tion is right where It started."
POWERS DEFER AdTOX.
In response to reqnesrts from United
States, Great Britain, France and Ger
many today-notified secretary -Bryan
they would defer formulation of any
Mexican policy until after exchanges
of Botes with the United States.
Intervention is not desired by a ma
jority of the senators, but the feeling
is growing that intervention Is
near.
Xo improvement
in
conditions is
looked for.
The president and secretary Bryan
are worried, and anxious, and closet
friends of the administration say they
see little or no hope of a solution ex
cept intervention.
Brance Wants n Warship.
The reported appeal of the FrencU
minister in Mexico City to charge;
O'Shaughnessy for an American warship
to protect the 'French colony at Saa
Ignaclo, Sinaloa. had not reached Wash
ington today, but if such a request has;
been made, it probably was granted.
The cruiser California is a,t Guaymasl
with the supply' ship Glacier and tho
cruiser Pittsburg leaves San Francisco
for the Mexican Pacific coast Saturday.
If news of distress of the French col
ony at San Iffgnacio reaches any of
these vessels, asylum will be offered to
any refugees without the formality oU
a request from the French government.
The Right of Asylum.
The granting of the right o asylumi
to Gen. Felix Diaz by an American!
warship at Veracruz has caused con
siderable discussion in official circles
here today.
ine policy of the United States InJ
! recent years has? been to truard wrw
jcoiuuMj iue extension or the rlgha
of asylum. One time it wes proposed
to secure an international cgreemenn
abrogating the right of political ref
ugees, but that movement did not suc
ceed. The latest poslti. of the gov-,
ernment as now applied to tho situa-
tion at Veracruz by rear admiral
Fletcher is laid down in the naval reg
ulations as follows:
"The of asylum for political or other
refugees has no foundation in interna
tional laws. In countries, however,
where frequent insurrections occur, anj
constant instability of government ex
ists usage sanctions the granting of
