Tired of Being Harassed, Colony
at San Dieguito Takes to
Warpath Against Rebels.
WASHINGTON. May 9.—Tired of
being raided and despoiled by o\»ry
passing band of brigands, the little
American colony at San Dieguito,

When a band of fourteen outlaws
swooped down upon the colony, ten
colonists, reinforced by five Mexican
Federal soldiers, pursued and de
feated the looters and recovered a
number of stolen horses.
Huerta Explains His
Attitude Toward U. S.
MEXICO CITY, May 9.—President
Victriano Huerta, during the confer
ence yesterday with Henry Lane Wil
son. the American Ambassador, stat
ed very clearly the position of Mex
ico in relation to the United States.
He said in part:
“Mexico Is disposed to arrange
without friction the affairs pending
between it and the Government of
the United States.
“However, for the time being
the American Ambassador should un
derstand the necessity which the
Government of Mexico has for ab
staining transmitting any official
matter, with the exception of urgen’
affairs or ordinary procedure, for the
simple reason that while the Gov
ernment of the 1’nifed States did not
recognize the Government f f Mexi
co all arrangements would he Inef
fective in view of the fa; ; that the
Government of Mexico has no per
sonality before the Government of
the United States.
"The Government of Mexico,
whether recognized or not bv the
United .States, has adopted and will
always adopt measures for the se
curity of all the inhabitants of the
country, whether native or foreign
ers, and thi«* has been demonstrated
by the attention given to the just
petitions of those who have been in
any manner injured by -past revolu
tions.
“The United States and all the
people of Europe have irrefutable
proofs that the Government of Mex
ico is especially pledged to give guar
antees to everybody without distinc
tion of nationality.”

Employs Poetry to
Define Tariff Stand
j Ohio Statesman Mounts Pegasus to
Declare "Lower Cost of Living
Promises Are Vain.
WASHINGTON, May 9.—The muse
struck her lyre in the House again
to-day, when Representative Simeon
D. Foss of Yellow Springs, O.. closed
a sarcastic speech on the tariff bill
with some verses on “The Things We
Buy and Tnese We Sell.” Here they
are: *
1 ain’t no statesman who can talk of
protection or free trade;
My ban’s too stiff to hoi’ a pen—that
was made to hoi’ a spade;
Them ten-foot, eddicated words my
tongue can’t wallop roun\
But I’ll make things you sell go up,
an’ things you buy come down.
I can’t talk on the currency, nor on
the revenue,
An’ on the laws an’ statoots I’m as
ignorant as you;
An’ I jest simply promise you, sure’s
I am Silas Brown,
I’ll make things you sell go up, an’
things you buy come down.
The fair ground echoed wide with
cheers and loud huzzas thereat,
For who can make a better scheme
of statesmanship than that?
An’ next week at the polls he beat
his rival high and dry—
But things we sell continue low, and
things we buy are high.
r
Buy Diamonds
Before the New
Tariff Advances
Prices
Under the old tariff no duty
was ievied on uncut or
"rough'* diamonds. Only 10
per cent duty was paid on
cut or polished diamonds.
The Democratic caucus
has but just recently recom
mended a 20 per cent duty
on polished diamonds and 10
per cent on the rough. This
new rate will no doubt be
come effective within the
next two or three months.
In addition to this, the big
diamond syndicate has raised
prices to the cutters since
January $15 to $30 per carat.
This means an advance in
the retail market within the
next four to six months rang
ing from $15 to $00 a carat—
according to grades and sizes.
Buy a diamond now on at
tractive monthly payments
and save the advance. Our

monds," quotes lowest net
prices and gives full particu
lars regarding our liberal
plans.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, May 9 —Judge
R. M. Wanamaker to-day delivered
an opinion in which he strongly dis
sented from the majority opinion by
the Ohio Supreme Court early till -

that the home rule provision of :h«
new’ constitution is not eel f-execu ting
and that municipalities must either
adopt charters or secure legislation
from the General Assembly before
they may exercise the increased pow
ers the constitutional amendment
gives them.
The court held that municipalities
may not maintain motion picture
show v. because "they are not a proper
function of government,” while Judge
Wanamaker declares the people have
this right.
