Discussing the situation generally, the President pointed out that the local press in Mexico City could print, uncontradicted, baseless statements as to the future Intentions of the United States. As evidence of the ability of the Huerta government to spread any Impression it pleased through the Mexican press, the President referred, Incidentally, to optimistic predictions during the last few (lays In Mexican newspapers that recognition of the Huerta government by the United States was forthcoming. The Washington government, It Is known, is irrevocably determined under no circumstances to recognize Huerta.

There were no new developments today In the situation generally, according to White House officials, but added Interest was developed In tho President's forthcoming annual message which he will read to Congress, when it became known that among the subjects to be discussed will be Included a statement giving the status of the Mexican situation.

The Interment will be made In the Rockville Centre Methodist Churchyard, Washington, November 24 Daniel Wll-lard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio; Frederlo A. Delano, president of the Wabash, and George Stewart Patterson, general solicitor of the Pennsylvania, appeared before the Interstate Commerce Commission, today, to argue for authority to Increase rates on all classes of freight traffic approximately 5 per cent, east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers.

Though the proposed increased rates are asked by the railroads In the territory east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers, the hearing Is of the utmost Importance to all the railroad of the United States, for should the commission grant the authority for the Increase, it might extend the authority to the other railroads of the country. The commission will Inquire whether present rates yield adequate revenues to the common carriers and much evidence will be taken. When the hearing began It was expected only the opening arguments by the representatives of the railroads would be heard today. That the railroads of the country have felt the burden of the increased cost of living, like all other enterprises or Individuals, "but unlike all others have not been permitted so far to raise their prices or adjust their charges In recognition of that burden," was the declaration of President Wlllard of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, In his opening address. Mr.

Wlllard asserted that operation of the railroads during the last three years was not such as to Inspire confidence of private capital or encourage the support of private enterprise. "It is a mistake to think that the problem Is merely a question of dividends to railroad stockholders, although that feature Is, of course, Involved. The problem. In a broad and atrue sense, affects all Interests, and the outcome of this particular case whichever way tt is decided will mark an epoch, because it will. In effect, very largely determine whether we shall, as In the past, continue to look to private capital and private enterprise for our transportation requirements or be compelled finally to accept the only alternative possible." Mr.

Wlllard asserted that during the past three years the railroads in the territory affected had spent in property Investment some $600,000,000, or at the rate of $200,000,000 per year. Neverthlees, he added, because of the fact that operating expenses had Increased faster than operating revenues, these railroads earned In the year ended June 30, 1913, less by $16,311,321 than for the year ended June 30, 1010. Mr. Wlllard also called attention to Increases In wages, taxes, "burdens Imposed by legislative enactments," such as extra crews, liability and compensation acts, and other conditions. He called attention to the fact that since 1910 wage payments by the railroads affected had greatly Increased largely as a result of mediation and arbitration proceedings and that the award lust announced by the arbitrators would give the conductors Neighbors Quarrel in Bellport Results in Beating.

Bellport, L. November 24 George Williamson, a 70-year old resident of this village, was brutally assaulted by John E. Ronk, a retired policeman of New York City, who entered the aged man's premises and severely beat him up with his fists and a cane yesterday afternoon. The two men are neighbors, and It is said that the assault upon Williamson was the result of some neighborly gossip and a dispute. Ronk, who is a strapping athlete of 6 feet 2 Inches In height, entered the yard of Williamson and engaged in an argument, following the aged man upon his porch, where he struck him several times with his lists, knocking him down, and then striking him with a cane which be carried.

Williamson was so badly cut and bruised that Dr. L. C. Baldwin bad to be called to render medical aid. A deep gash over his left eye had to be sewed up with four stitches and another over the left ear was treated In a similar manner.

His nose and other parts of his face were cut and bruised and he sustained a severe cut on the head. Ronk was arrested by Constable Roy C. Hamlyn and taken before Justice of the Peace Everett M. Price, who released him on ball to appear in court this week BROOKLYN COURTS SUPREME COURT. -SPECIAL.

WOMAN HURT IN RUNAWAY. Mrs. David Jacobsen Thrown From Buggy Policeman Also Injured. David Jacobsen of 193 Hart street left his buggy, in which his wife Rose was eeated, standing at Franklin avenue ano Pei-gen street, yesterday, when the horse was frightened by an automobile and ran along Franklin avenue. At Atlantic avenue the buggy ran against the curb-rtone, throwing Mrs.

Jacobsen to the street and Injured her. The horse continued along Franklin avenue, and at Brevoort place rollceman Daniel Leary of the Grand avenue pre-enct grabbed the bridle. He was dragged a block before he was forced to let go. The horse was stopped at Fulton street and Franklin avenue. Mrs.

Jacobsen sustained a fracture- of She skull. She was removed to the Jewish Hospital by Dr. Gray. Dr. Ort'y also dressed ft sculp wound which Officer Leary had received.

guished men who were at the Collector's office in the Customhouse, to participate in the ceremony, and many took Mr. Ma-: lone's remarks to mean the opening of real warfare on the part of Independent Democrats against the present leader of i the Democratic organization In this city. Although Mr. Malone mentioned no names, It was evident that his remarks were directed against the leadership of Charles F. Murphy.

His remarks were greeted by applause, and it was noticed that some men prominent In Tammany Hall took part in the demonstration. "We are living in a fortunate day," said Mr. Malone." We have recently witnessed the election of a new chief executive of the Greater City of New York, by a political army composed of Democrats, Republicans, Progressives and Independents. Because of the fact that all men j) OY HHRHO IWIN6 of all parties participated in the election of John Purroy Mltchel, I know I offend no sense of propriety and inject no note of partisanship in asking you all to uphold the cause of clean party politics and the administration of good government in this community under tho new Mayor of New York. "It is the duty of every good citizen to Interest himself not merely on Election Day, but 365 days of the year in the affairs of politics and government.

Without such vigilance on the part of the men of patriotism and Ideals, republican institutions cannot endure. for one, wish to say today that after I have completed my hours of service at the Custom House in the performance of the non-political business duties of the Collector-ship of the Port of New York, I reserve the right, which belongs to every citizen, to spend my leisure time In fighting for clean politics and sound administration. I am not interested In the result of one contest. Those leaders of parties, aud we have (hem in all parties, who work for purposes of government which are not republican and not American, never take one defeat as conclusive. And I Intend to dedlcnte not merely one campaign, but the rest of my life in this City of New York to a fight for radical changes of party purpose and party leadership." A spontaneous burst of applause greeted tho remarks of the new Collector, who spoke with earnestness.

Mr. Malone delivered his address following the reading of an address written by John Purroy Mltchel before he left for Panama. The speech was read by B. W. Cruger, Mr.

Mitchel's private secretary at the Custom House. After his reference to clean politics and sound administration, Mr. Malone, turning to the group of Customs officials standing near by, said: "You gentlemen of tha service are to continue In co-cperatlon with me under a Democratic President and a Democratic administration In Washington, but for an absolute non-partisan conduct of the business affairs for the Port of New York. The American people, before Election Day, divide themselves into parties and differ on policies, but after Election Day these party differences are merged by a spirit of patriotism into a well-known desire on the part of all the people to serve the country and its interests without regard to faction or previous divergence of party view. "I have no policies to proclaim, I have no programme to set forth, I have no profession of duty to announce.

People generally, and especially the people of the State of New York, are tired of mere policies, programmes and professions. They want action, accomplishment, real leadership and results." It was promptly 10:30 thnt John W. Shields the veteran United States Commissioner for the Southern District, entered the main office of the Collector aud administered the oath of office. DROWNED IN SIGHT OF CONEY Heroic Effort to Save Fisherman Was of No Avail. Before the eyes of many automobllists and fishermen at the foot of Ocean Park-way, Joseph Burns of 68S Sixth avenue, Manhattan, was drowned last night after making a fight for life for half an hour nnd being almost saved by five patrolmen from the Coney Island station.

Burns was a fisherman and was sitting on the end of tho Jetty, with a big net, when he lost his balance and elI in. Tho parking space at the foot of the Parkway was crowded with plensuso seekers, who were watching the fishermen at work, but none of them seemed able to help Burns when his first cry for help was heard. For fully half an hour they watched him struggling In the water, but keeping himself afloat by clinging to a log. Then Homebody called Mounted Patrolman Major, and the first real attempt to save him was made. The policeman got a boathook and by using that got the man to the Jetty, where he fold him to hold on for a moment until ho could got a rope.

Burns tried to hold to a post, but It was so slimy that he slipped oil again and was washed under the pier. When the policeman, together with four others, finally got him he was unconscious. Sonic of the nutomoblUsts rushed him to the Coney Island 'spitai, hut he died before hs reached tho position of chairman of their executive committee, with the promise that nowork would be required of him In that capacity, but when they were told today that he had not even enrolled under the Bull Moose head they declared that the Controller need expect no honors of any kind from them. "He's on the fence. Drop him," was the sharp comment of one prominent Progressive.

Allison L. Adams, the Bull Mooso leader of the Sixteenth Assembly district, had this to say when told that Prendergast was uuenrolled: "Those who are managing the affairs of the Progressive party feel that the men who seek honors at its bands should at least be sufficiently interested In its auuirs to aeciare memseives uiuciauj and publicly as allied with it." James M. Gray, the chairman of the Progressive Law Committee, said: "I should not like to make a statement about this matter until I have heard Controller Prendergast's own explanation of his failure to enroll." Charles S. Aronstam. the vice chairman, who has been In charge of the organization since Timothy L.

Woodruff's death, is out of town today and could not be reached. On top of the announcement that Pren dergast was an "undeclared voter'' came a boom for Jesse Fuller, to take tue chairmanship of the executive committee. Fuller is the defeated candidate for County Judge who ran on both the Democratic and Bull Moose tickets. A change in the rules of the party organization, making the chairmanship of the executive committee separate from the party leadership, will be Introduced at the next County Committee meeting. This wa3 done to enable the party to make Prendergast chairman of the executive committee.

Now, the leaders pointed out today, it will permit them to elect one of the rank and file to that place, and Fuller is tho leading candidate. The others talked about for the place are George A. Green, James M. Gray and Dr. Thurston H.

Dexter. CONTROLLER ON WAY HOME; OUTLINES PLANS TO EAGLE Eagle Bureau, 63 Rue Cambon. Paris, November 24, 1913 Controler William A. Prendergast before salding on the Kaiserlu Auguste Victoria for New York yesterday was Interviewed regarding the policies he would follow and tne appointments he was to make when he again took up the duties of his New York office. He said that Inasmuch as he was elected on a fusion platform and as the result of a fusion movement, it would be no advantage for any man to forward the claim that he was a Republican, or a Democrat, or a Progressive.

He said that party connection would be no qualification for appointment, even if the candidate had powerful Influences behind him. The Controller said the business ability was to be the sole criterion, aud that he was going to run the department upon Btrlctly nonlpartisan lines. He said that he would select a lawyer to fill the place left vacant by Douglas Mathewson, lect-ed Borough President of the Bronx, If the right man could be found. The position pays $7,500, but the Controller seemed fearful that he could not get a man of tho right caliber who would be willing to serve for that salary. The Controller has received many verbal and written applications for Jobs.

"Will Robert Adamso" land a suitable position?" he was asked. "He ought to," he said. "He deserves it." Tho Controller said he had no doubt Mltchel would give full consideration to Adamson's claims. Mr. Prendergast also discussed the Civil Service situation in New York and said that the service should be absolutely non-partisan.

Tho Controller went to hear "Faust, on Friday night. He remarked that he considered the Brooklyn audiences Infinitely smarter than the French opera audiences hut he said that the production of Gounod's opera here was greater even than that presented by the Metropolitan.

Reading from a typewritten the District Attorney questioned Donovan closely as to his acquaintance with "Jack" Sirocco. Donovan admitted that he had said he knew him but explained that he had meant Charles Sirocco, a truck driver, who had rented a room aC his saloon for about a year.

He denied that he had ever known or seen "Jack' Sirocco, the alleged header of the East Side gang. At the primary of Marcn, lata, uonovau admitted that there had been ten men registered from his saloon. Including himself and his father, William Donovan.

The election officers of four election districts in Kings County have been summoned to appear before tho Board of i Canvassers at Borough Hall tomorrow i night and explain why there are no re- turns from their districts on tho vote upon the four propositions submitted at tho last election. They will also be asked how there happened to be so many blank ballots reported. The election districts aro the Tweuty- third of the Eighteenth Assembly, the Twentieth of the Twenty-second Assem- bly the Tenth of tho IClghth Assembly and the Seventeenth of tho Twentieth Assembly.
