c-L PASO MORNING TIMES-
-SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1911.
Dr. Hottmi Beddw He Has no
Cbanoe to be Elected Governor.
-Sproial to The Times.
Tucson, Arts., Oct. 20.—Dr. II. A.
Hughes of Phoenix will probably an-
nounce bis withdrawal from the race
for the Democratic nomination for
governor late this afternoon.
"I am going home and consult my
friends.” said Dr. Hughes, who was
here last evening, "and I think I will
withdraw from the race tomorrow.
I am not going to have time to "gat
over the territory and do not want
to make the fight unless I can do
myself justice. I thought when I
decided to enter the race that either
Mr. Packard or Mr. Hampton would
be a candidate for governor, making
a four-cornered fight and I do not
consider that I have the same chance
in a three-cornered fight."
Dr. Hughes spent the evening
confering with local Democrats and
left at midnight for Phoenix.

Soda crackers are
extremely sensitive
to moisture.
Before the advent of
Uneeda Biscuit the
persons who
tasted fresh,
soda crackers
the people in
only
ever
crisp
were
the bakeries.
Imagine their trip
from bakery to your
table; exposed to air
and moisture—kept
in grocers’ boxes and
finally in a paper bag
on the shelf in your
pantry. Could they
be the same as they
were the day they
were baked?
Now that we have
Uneeda Biscuit—we
have perfectly
baked soda crackers
—perfectly kept.
No moisture can
reach them—no con-
taminating influ-
ences can affect
their flaVo-r—their
goodness is impris-
oned only to be
liberated by you for
you when you open
the package.
Always in the moist-
ure proof package.
Never sold in bulk.

MOHENO USE IS CONSIOEBEO
Freak Election Measure Roundly Hissed
by the Galleries and Clumber
of Deputies
Special to The Times.
Mexico City, Mex., Oct. 20.—Inas-
much as he had repeatedly refused
to accept the nomination for either
the presidency or vice-president y,
President 1- ranciseo de la Barra yes-
terday sent a petition to the cham-
ber of deputies urging that body not
to take into consideration the votes
which were cast for him for the vice-
presidency at the general election Oc-
tober 1. The executive communica-
tion was sent to the chamber by the
department of Interior. It was read
and referred to the committee in
charge of the electoral college organ-
ization.
Molx no Faso Today.
The grand Jury of the chamber to-
day will hear the charges brought
against Congressman Querido Mohs-
no, who Is accused of misappropria-
tion of funds. The amount of the
contested sum is $10,000. In case he
is declared guilty he. will be deprived
of his privileges as a representative
and sent to the courts.
Hissed BUI.
Deputy. Melgarejo introduced a bill
w-hiph provided for .the enactment of
a law that would affect the political
Integrity of the citizens. It Is pro-
posed as a reform to the constitution.
It restricts the liberty and rights of
ft free-born Mexican. A penalty of
three years in jail and $2000 fine
would be Imposed upon any person
who publicly voices his personal
political opinion. Among the guilty
ones would be counted the news-
papermen, the cartoonists, tho of-
ficials, who may give out an inter-
view; the organizers of political dem-
onstrations and the persons that take
part in them, the reporters or any
person who may cheer loudly for his
candidate on the streets, or otherwise
incite public attention to some politi-
cal Issue,
As soon as the reading of the bill
began, hisses started in the gallery
•hat were soon chorused everywhere
within the vast legislative building.
The secretary found It hard to con-
tinue the reading.
Mr. Melgarejo arose to defend the
Introduction of his bill and the ex-
citement then became wild. He said
"gentlemen,” but that was as far as
he went. There were no cries, no
yelling, no abusing words, but just
an intolerable, loud, fearsome hissing
that seemed to grow in intensity
every minute and made tt absolutely
impossible for the orator to say an-
other word. He had to go back to
his seat, irate and disappointed.
The *|
electoral Law.
Articles thirteen and fourteen of
the new electoral law then were dis-
cussed. They deal with the punish-
ment that will be inflicted on per-
sons responsible for the irregularities
and fraud In an election. A question
arose during the discussion that lead
to interesting controversies. Among
the speakers were Congressmen Ber-
langa, Perez Verdia, Aldasoro, Prida,
Obregon and Fernando Buret.
Deputy Duret contended that tho
chamber could not give a common
judge the right of prosecuting the
guilty parties of a fraudulent elec-
tion, as some representatives de-
clared. because the law was a federal
one and had to be enforced by fed-
eral judges.
■Congressman Perez Verdia oppos-
ed this statemoht and contended thal
the elections were a 'question of
private rights, and that the district
courts could not, therefore, Interfere
with them. “The common judges,”
he ended, "are the competent one*
to decide on electoral matters when-
ever some doubt arises as to the legal-
ity In some state of the republic.
The district judges ought not to
have anything to do with such mat-
ters."
Votes then were taken and by a big
majority it was decided that the law
should designate the district attor-
neys as the legal prosecutors 1n
case of fraudulent or Irregular elec-
tion,
^lotion Rejected.
Representative Landa made a mo-
tion to the effect that the law would
be discussed by chapters and not ar-
ticle after article ns tt is done now.
The motion was rejected unanimously,
The session then was adjourned.

RENEWAL OF PEARSON
OIL SALE RUMOR
liord Cowdrey Will lVobably Renew
Negotiations WiUi tlie Standard.
Special to The Times.
Mexico City, Mex., Oct. 20. — The
departure of Lord Cowdray to the
United States, and the report that
he has gone to again take up negoti-
ations looking to a disposal of hi*
Mexican oil interests to the Standar*
or allied interests, calls attention to
the anomalous conditions surrounding
oil business in this country.
The Pearson Otl company certainty
rendered a valuable service by en-
tering the Mexican field and forcing
the Waters Pierce monopoly to great-
ly reduce prices. But today, not-
withstanding the fact that both com-
panies arc outwardly fighting e«ch
Other as bitterly ss ever, prices for
ell and gasoline have steadily risen
Why this is thusly is rather diffi-
cult for anyone lees than an oli ex-
pert to determine from the official
utterances of the competing com-
panies, that speak of Increased de-
mand and scarcity of product, etc., tai
words that sound suspiciously alike.
But whether or not there is a
working agreement and an indcr-
standing for increased prices re-
tween the two companies, there ap-
pears to be no doubt of the genuine-
ness of the desire of the Water*
Pierce to prevent a disposal <f '.ho
Pearson holdings to Standard Inter-
ests. for the Waters Pierce has for
months conducted a carefully plan-
ned publicity campaign In the United
States tending to stop such negotia-
tions Tiy discrediting the validity of
Pearson concessions and the value of
that company’s holdings In Mexico'.
The apparent desire of the Waters
Pierce to prevent the entry of tha
Standard Oil into Mexico Is another
curious thing that matches well with
the oil war that no longer wars. But
thpt Is of a piece with the anomally
of the Waters Pierce company Itself,
whose stock, more than 60 per cent
of It, is owned by the Standard, and
yet the company Is dominated by 11.

It is evident that not all $he ele-
ments of the oil situation float upon
the surface of business waters and It

give them $300, Mr. Wilson went
with them Over to the home of the

and could find but $155 In cash
which they gave to the robbers, and
made up the amount of the three
hundred in merchandise from the
shelves. After receiving the booty

Barstow, Tex., Oct. 20.—A meeting
has been called for 4 o’clock, Tues-
day, Oct. 24th, at the court house in
Barstow, at which time the advisa-
bility of establishing a wholesale
mercantile company at Barstow will
be discussed. •Much Interest has
been manifested and It is believed
that such a concern would do well
here, as there is a large territory
tributary to Barstow which would
buy its supplies from Barstow If
such a house wns located here, this
place being more easily reached than
other points.
Colonel. G. W. Dyer has sold the
Barstow cotttn gin to T. L. Patrick
and Wright Reeves. Mr. Patrick has
had many years experience m the gin
business, while Mr. Reeves is an ex-
pert machinist and engineer, and
they are proceeding to give the whole
plant a thorough overhauling in- or-
der that there will be no break-
downs in the future. So far this gin
has turned out 3C0 bales, while there
remains about 700 more. The cotton
crop around Barstow is not largo a«
to acreage, as the principal crop is
alfalfa and fruit, cotton being raised
only on lands that have not yet been
put to alfalfa and fruit. The market
price today Is nine cents, a decline of
two cents in the past week.
Judge A. J. Wilson has removed
to Pecos, where ho has formed a law
partnership with J. B. Gibson, the
style of the firm being Gibson &
Wilson.
Major John Wilson, Vice-president
and general manager of the Barstow
Irrigation company and affiliate!
companies, has just returned from F,1
Paso, where he and W. A. Hudson,
general attorney for the compare
went to transact legal business in
connection with some suits soon to
be brought by the Barstow compare
in regard to the priority of claims
for the use qf water from the Pecs
river.
Captain C. D. Gardner and Rleh-
trd Wilson went to Dallas last .Sat-
