CONSTERNATION REIGNS IN CITY
OF MEXICO
OROZCO IS WINNING
WASHINGTON LOSING CONFI-
DENCE IN MADERO’S ABILITY
Just What Position This Government
Should Assume In Case Madero
Is Overthrown Is Worrylnfl
Washington Officials
Washington.—Consternation reigns
In Mexico City over the federal defeats
in Chihuahua. Orozco’s success there
Ib looked upon as quite ominous aud
likely to be followed by serious events
throughout the republic, according to
state department reports from the
Mexican capital today.
The weakness of the federal forces
in the south is recognized and Za-
pata seems to be taking advantage
of this fact. He is reported to be
resuming his fighting in that section.
The federate following their recent
engagement in southern Chihuahua
retreated to Torreon in a demoralized
condition and the state department
reports say the rebels are following
them closely.
The rebel successes have shaken
the confidence of the Washington of-
ficials In the easy triumph of Ma-
dero over his enemies. They are now
recognizing the possibility of an
overthrow of the Madero government
and the grave question is beginning
to assert Itself as to the correct at-
titude of the United States In the
turmoil and chaos which probably
would follow the clashing of presi-
dential aspirations of at least three
or four ambitious Mexican leaders.
There is no thought of Intervention.

Situation Looks Gloomy
Laredo, Tex.—Refugee traffic from
Mexico appeared on the Increase when
100 persons passed through here from
Mexico. ThiB is double the number of
arrivals for several days. The passen-
gers were principally women and
children.
The one word “gloom" expresses
the views of the majority of these
passengers on the Mexican situation.
One sleeper was filled with passen-
gers from Guanajuato, an important
mining town.
Indicating the difficulty of getting
news even In Mexico, one of the pas-
sengers stated that 360 dead and
wounded federals were brought by rail
from Torreon to Monterey laBt night.
This statement was not substantiated
by the other passengers.
A carload of dynamite Is being held
up here by’ United States customs
officials, who have it under guard In
the railroad yards. It Is consigned to
Mexico. Instructions have been Is-
sued to detain seven more carloads of
dynamite reported to be routed toward
Laredo for Mexico.

Whether further Investigations In
the beef packing Industry will be
made, District Attorney Wllkerson re-

by the verdict.
The verdict came after the jury
had been out nineteen hours. At no
time during the deliberations were
mortality at 100. The estimate of the
| government losses is based by General
j Campao on interviews with prisoners

ment leaders. The report that General
Salas was wounded is Incorrect and

son, congressman from the Sixth dis-
trict, has defeated Governor George
W. Donaghey ln the race for Demo-
cratic nominee for governor, 43,740 to
22,791. This majority will probably
be Increased when the full vote Is re-
turned.
Returns from the same number of
counties Indicate that United States
Senator JefT Davis has been re-nom-
lnatcd over Stephen Brumlldgo, 33,-
696 to 27,670. It Is claimed that more
oomplete returns will make this con-
test considerably closer.
According to the action recently
taken by the Chickasha board of edu-
cation, no teacher will be employed ln
the putMc schools of that city who
has not passed a physical examination
under a regular physician appointed
by the board.
Arickaree Tom, noted Pawnee In-
dian, died recently at Pawnee. He

Miles after eervlng as a war chief for

Roberts Chosen for Cadetship.
Washington.—Senator Owen se-
lected Quincy F. Roberts of Lawton,
Okla, to fill the vacancy ln the ranks
of midshipmen at AnnapolU, the ap-
pointment to which has rested In hts
hands. Roberts passed the recent ex-
aminations with the average grade of
*8.37. Sixteen boys took the examina-
tions and of these Senator Owen haB
chosen Oscar W. Erickson of Okla-

responsible for the verdict, several
jurors said. They did not review the
exhibits In the case. The mass of fig-
ures and reports mystified them. To
have attempted to untangle them
would have been useless. It was
agreed.
The verdict was recel-ed quietly,
Only two defendants, Thomas J. Con-
nor, a director and general superin-
tendent of Armour & Co., and Edward
Tllden, president of the National Pack-
ing company, were ln court when the
Jury returned Its verdict. As soon as
the verdict was read the two packers
leaped to their feet and shook hands
with their attorneys and the Jurors.
After the announcement of the ver-
dict ln the packers' trial, provisions
advanced all around. The rise was 15
cents for pork and bacon and 7V4c to
10c for lard.
In addition to the cost of packing
house products, Swift & Co. shares
advanced 2% points on the Chicago
stock exchange one hour before the
verdict. After the jury had come ln
a further jump upward occured, mak-
ing a total advance of 6 points.
ing the fight much longer is the arrival
of General Aubert wth 600 cavalry
from Torreon.
Gloom at the Captat
Mexico City.—The capital was still
without official news Tuesday of
events in the north. At all departments
of the government information was re-
fused and the censorship prevented
correspondents with the federal forces
from communicating any of details ot
the happenings of the last few days.
The censor ship was extended to the
cable lines. This was not done at any
time during the previous revolution.
Later the order was modified to an ex-
tent but It still applied to military ojx
erations.
ROBERT L. TAYLOR.
Sunday morning the senator began to
fail to respond to stimulants. Mrs.
Taylor, worn out by a day ’and night
vigil had gone to her apartments. At
3 o'clock Sunday morning the senator
began to sink so rapidly that she was
sent for. She was at his side when the
end came at 9:40 o'clock.
"Fiddling Bob’’ Taaylor, so known be-
cause he played his way into the hearts
of his audiences, carrying his violin
when he campaigned, was 61 years
old. He was born at Happy Valley,
in east Tennessee, but spent most of
his life at Nashville practicing law.
Hts father was a congressman and
commissioner of Indian agencies and
an uncle was in the confederate sen-
ate.
Senator Taylor is survived by his
widow, a son, David Taylor, and three
maarried daughters, living in Tennes-
see. The funeral will be held at Knox-
Vill, Tenn.
During his life he held many posi-
tions of honor and trust, was governor
of Tennessee and at the time of his
death was serving as United States
senator.

of women at the University of Chicago,
who is being sued for *100,00(1 dam-

last week, in the hands of W. E.

ings and Trust company of Cleveland,

erties of the defendant company at

speaking. The Pole was sitting near
the stage and in the midst of the sen-
ator’s speech suddenly leaped to the
platform, drawing a club from under
his overalls as he jumped and swung
Instantly at the senator's head.
One of the men on the stage,
Judge P. C. Marman, was quicker than
the man, however, and knocked Scho-
malk off the stage before his blow
landed. The senator, who could not
see his danger, was unaware of the
Incident until later.
Hypathecating Hay
Wichita, Kan.—Hay being shipped
to Wichita is being confiscated by the
stock feeders, according to Informa-
tion received by hay dealers here.
There Is a shortage of forage and
sheriffs nearby are helping the farmers
protect their stock. The wheat Is too
soft for pasturing and early contracts
took a great deal of t j; hay out of the
country. Hay in cars, If allowed to
stand on a siding, is not likely tojreRoh
Its destination. The severe winter
has made It very difficult for the stock
feeders to get food for their cattle.

"Miss Marie Corelli, like all female
novelists, is a firm believer in marry-
ing for love.”
The speaker, an editor of a wom-
an’:- magazine, was taking tea at the
Colony club in New York. She con-
tinued, a nut sandwich poised near
her mouth:
"I argued and wrangled about love
matches with Miss Corelli one whole
day in her old-fashioned Stratford
home, but she rather got the better
of me, at the end with an epigram:
’’ 'She who marries for love,' Miss
Corelli said, 'enters heaven with her
eyes shut. She who marries without
love enters hell with them open.’ ”
