C. —Returning from Georgia to attend an Important session of the rules committee of which he la a member, and to urge the adoption of a special rule for the consideration of nation-wide prohibition at this session, Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick let ft be known today that he would op pose the proposed legislation on its merits. The rule, committee will con sider the questio nos a special rule this afternoon. “7 think the congress of the United .States should meet th's question of na tion-wide prohibition fairly and square - I ly," said Mr. Hardwick, "I do not think the Democratic party should counte i nance delay. For my part lam willing that my constituents who sent me to congress and the people of Georgia whose support I am asking In my sena- I torlal canvass shall know where I stand on this question. T shall favor a spe cial rule for the consideration of the Hobson resolution at this session of con gress, and I hope the other members of the rules committee will Join me in my efforts to bring up the question on its merits.” The congressman will, it may be stated positively, oppose the prohibition amend ment, on Its merits, If a special rule for Its consideration by the house is pro vided. He may be relied upon to take an active hand in the fight against the proposal to submit a constitutional amendment prohibiting the manufacture, sale or importation of spirituous or malt liquors In the United States. Mr. Hardwick, whose Democracy has never been challenged, considers the question of prohibition a matter for the several states, and regards the Hobson proposal as an Infringement on the Dem ooratlc doctrine of state rights He does not believe that the federal Constitution should be amended In a way to deprive the several states of their right to rgu lat and to control thier Internal affairs.

By A Veteran. Washington, D. C. —While the me diators mediated at Niagar Falls Huerta went merrily on granting con cessions in Mexico City, I learn. I would scarce dare to appraise the val ues of these concessions, but conces sionaires seem easy to find and per fectly willing to sign contracts for tens of years. One can only guess at the unwritten sections of the contracts trade by the dictator. For instance, two concessions have Just been granted for the exploitation of the pearl industry. One of these went to Manuel Romo for the Isla An gel de la Guarda, off the western coast, the other to Carlos Agtiila for the west zone embraced between Puerto Angel, Ouxaza and San Benito, Chlpas. The terms provide for the breeding and exploitation of pearl shells, moth er of pearl shells and pearl abulon shells. The concessionaires are oblig ed to pay the government $66.80 for every thousand of pearl shells, $20.00 for every thousand of pearl abulon shells and $lO for every thousand of mother of pearl shells produced. The contracts run ten years. There are many clauses assuming to protect the government and also the natural resources. The pear shells must measure at least eighteen cen timeters In diameter and the mother of pearl and nacar must have passed their second spawning. It is strictly prohibited to exploit the breeding grounds of the pearls. The concessionaires are obliged to establish artificial beds for the breed ing of the pearls, with all the neces sary conditions, such as rocks, gravel and other matter, forming at least ten hectares annually. At the end of ten years these beds and all Improvements revert to the government. This Is the story of Martinez, so called “king of the snipers." one of the underhand fighters who picked off good American sailors and marines for two da>*s after we had seized Vera Cruz. Martinez was a Mexican who had fled before Villa from his vast cotton plantations In the Torreon district and had gone to Vera Cruz with his American wife. All through the win ter they were frequently guests aboard United States warships in the harbor. His house was on the same street as the t'nlted States consulate, where fighting was hot the first day. On the second day when the Americans advanced through the entire town and held It, sniping continued In many sections especially In the block In which Martinez’s house was situated. Owing to the fact that the snipers used smokeless powder and kept them selves well hidden It was next to im possible to discover them. Ourlng the afternoon of Wednesday Martinez came along the block, where a party of marines had been stationed In an effort to locate the snipers. He was warned by Col Neville of the Ma rine Corps, not to go Into his house, as It was strongly suspected that snipers wore located there Martinez professed his regret at ,such a suspicion, asserting his strong Rhodes Sells for Less Rhodes Will Divide the Payment to Suit Your Convenience.

He was finally allowed to enter his house. Subsequently it was noted that ev ery time Col. Neville exposed himself In the street a shot would come from near by. It was obvious some one was trying to “get" the marine officer. Col. Neville finally mounted the bal cony of the American consulate and began watching the roofs and windows of the houses up the street throug a pair of field glasses. He saw Martinez sitting in his balcony with a newspa per spread out on his lap and smoking a cigarette, apparently watching the proceedings. As he watched him the Colonel saw to his amazement Martinez quickly pull an automatic revolver from tinder the newspaper in his lap and fire a shot, restoring the weapon to Its hid ing place under the newspaper with lightning speed. Calling a marine, Col. Neville pointed out the man on the balcony and said bluntly: “Get him." The marine fired and Martinez fell off his chair. He was wounded In the stomach. He was removed to another house by a Mexican doctor and his wound dressed. The next day, appar ently not satisfied with what the Mexican surgeon had done for him, he sent for Dr. M. S. Elliott, U. S. N., a personal friend, who has been in charge of the shore hospital. Dr. El liott dressed the wound again, but Martinez died His American wife was at the time on hoard the American refugee ship Esperanza. She was told that her husband had been forced upon the balcony by snipers and shot by them. Most readers of American newspa pers are probably unaware that in theory the Mexican government is not only as good as our own but Is pat terned very closely after It. Remem ber I say In theory. Mexlcoo. is. like the United States, a Federal Republic with executive powers centralized. There are 27 states. 3 territories and a Federal Dis trict. the latter on the anology of our District of Columbia. The central government has three co-ordinate branches—executive, leg islative and Judicial —each nominally independent of the other. The presi dent. vice president and cabinet of eight compose the executive branch. The cabinet officers are the secretar ies of foreign affairs, Interior, justice, public instruction and fine arts; fuel, colonization, and industry; communi cations and public works; finance and public credit and war and marine. There are many other analogies—ln thelry. FROM 374 SOUTHER BANKS Chsttanooga.
