The Greatest Indian Organizer

Pontiac exemplified at once the
best and the worst traits of the Amer
lean Indian. He seems not to have
been so great a warrior as Osceola.
nor as able general in the field as
Cornstalk nor SO unseffishly patriot
as Tecumseh. But as an organizer
among a. people with whom organiza-
ton Is almost impossible, and as
master Of the treacherous state-craft
of his race, he probably surpassed
them all. AS soon as his death was
known, the French Governor at st.
Louis sent for his body and buried
It with full martial honors near the
fort. For mausoleum.s Parkman
finely says, "a great city has arisen
above the forest hero; and the race
whom he hated with such burning
rancor, trample with unceasing foot
steps over his forgotten grave. -"

Mexican Legation My 30 ulsssl ~
Diplomatic Relation Severed S Y


Washington Ambassador Cr,sl
held conference~t today with 3sta.s
department officials respecting the
disturbed condition Of affairs in Gua.-
emala- It appears from the adviccs
the ambassador has received from
the City Of Mexico that chaos ex-
lists at Guatemala City following the
recent attempt to assassinate Presi-
dent Cabrera.
The Mexican account is that indis-
crlminate arrests are being made Of
men, women and children, not only
native Guatemalans, but persons Of
other nationalities, and that these
prisoners are being harshly treated.
It is understood that protests have
been made already by the diplomatic
representatives Of other nations in
Guatemala and that an attempt will
be made to secure joint action by
Mexico and the United States to pre-
vent continuance Of this policy Of
indiscriminate arrests.
In the event the Mexican legation
in Guatemala City is closed and .
diplomatic rupture between Mexico
and Guatemala follows the refusal OF
the latter government to extradite
Jose Lima, charged with completely
in the assassination Of Gen. Baril-
las, it is understood that the affairs
of the Mexican legation will be placed
in charge Of the American minister
in Guatemala who also will look out
for the interests Of the Mexican cit
liens in that country.
The state department is forwarding
to Ambassador Thompson at Mexico
City, all Of the information it receives
from ministers and cvnsuls in Central
America concerning the Guatemalan
situation. It was admitted today that
this government anticipates request
from Mexico to look after her dipk-
matte affairs in Guatemala in the
event that Mexico severes her. rela-
ton with that country, Although
not condoning the part General Lima
is alleged to have played in the plot
which resulted in the killing IN
Mexico Of ex-President Barillas, the
United States government has not
been drawn into the controversy oc-
casioned by Mexico's demand for the
surrender Of General Lima. So far
as this incident is concerned the Uni
ted States does not intend to en-
gage jointly with Mexico for the pun
ishment Of the assassins OF Barillas.
This government, however is ready
to give moral support to Mexico in
any movement looking to the main
tenance of peace and quiet In Guat-
emala. s49eg VI

Strawberry Shortage.

a fair Illustration or the shortage
of Mississippi's strawberry crop -
shown by the report of the Berry
Growers Association at .Durant,
where only thirty-six carloads Of
strawberries have been shipped to the
Northern markets this season, against
101 carloads from the same station
last year.
Similar reports come from Crystal
Springs, Gallman, Madison Station,
Ridgeland and other principal ship
ping points, and it can no longer
be doubted that the growers have ex-
perienced an improbable year. The
shipping season is drawing to close,
the berries now being picked being
of an inferior quality.
In all general aspects the fruit
and vegetable season in Mississippi
promises to be about as unfavorablc
as the 1906 season was favorable,
and very few truck farmers will be
able to show net profit on their
crops. Many of the truckers are
now preparing to plant their fields
in corn, cotton and other crops.

BODY or MARVIN
CHILD Is FOUND
tH IyA
WITHIN HALF A MILE OF DIR.
MARvIN'S HOME.
BODY WAS net DECOMPOSED
And Showed no Marks Indicating
Foul Play-Place Where he was
Pound Had Been Searched Several
Times by Father and Detectives.

Dover, Del.-Lying in marshy
piece Of land, the body Of little Hor-
ace Marvin, son Of DR.. H. N. Mar
win, whose mysterious disappearance
had baffled solution since March q,
was found about half mile from the
Marvin home by Ollie Pleasonton, a
FARMER.
Pleasanton, who lives on farm adj
joining Marvin s, came upon the
ehild's body while out cunning. The
child lay face downward in patch
Of meadow grass. There was no mark
on the body indicating foul play
and it was in good state of pre-
servation. Pleasanton says he saw the
body at distance Of twenty feet.
Several gunners passed over this
land, but none saw the body if l.
was there then, the spot where the
body was found in midway between
the Marvin home and the Delaware
river.
When Pleasanton came upon the
body he found the clothing intact.
His tiny wooden REFER was buttoned
up about the body and not an article
Of clothing which he had on when
he disappeared was missing. His lit
tie cap was pulled over his face and
his mittens were on his hand.
DR.. Marvin says he searched over
the same marsh nearly every day
since the disappearance and with de-
tectives burned the grass off the place
four weeks ago, but saw no signs Of
the body.
The theory that the child has but
recently been placed where he was
= supported by the fact that DR..
Martin as we'll as detectives who
stood on the spot when they burned
the grass from it. Further than this
the marsh has been trampled over
time and again within the past week
by neighbors and no sign Of the child
was seen.
DR.. Marvin went on run to the
place described by Pleasanton and
gently picked up the little form, pull
ing the cap from the face to make
sure that it was his boy. Being sat-
is6ed that it was his son the doctor
wrapped the remains in a sheet and
carried him to the house, where he
notified the family. DR.. Marvin is
convinced that his son met with foul
play. The doctor would not allow
an examination to be made by any
one until the coroner and physician
had made full investigation.
Detectives who have been on the
case are inclined to the belief that
the boy wandered into the marshes and
being overcome by the cold fell ex-
Aausted where the body was found.
Pleasanton, who discovered tn.
body, has figured in the case since
the moment Horace was lost, having
first reported that he had seen the
two strange men who appeared there
nquiring about the topography Of the
country three days before the disap-
pearance.
A later examination Of the body
showed that it was somewhat bloat-
cd, which lends weight to the belief
that the boy wandered on the marsh
and was drowned.

GRAFTON, Jan. 22-Another
case of Illegal selling of intoxicants
was brought to light Saturday, when
one Edward Boue. an employee of
one of the glass factories, was arrest
ed on charge of drunkenness. He
was placed in jail to sober up, and
when brought before Mayor McClung
he was induced to tell where he had
procured his intoxicants. He con-
fessed to having bought a quart of
whiskey from Earl Kuh, of the West
Side. A warrant was at once issued
for the arrest Of Kuh and he was tax
en- before Mayor McClung. After
hearing the evidence of Boue the
mayor fined Kuh $500 and remand
ed him to jail to await the pleasure
Of United States deputy marshal,
to who mthe young man will be
turned over. Kuh's manner of SELL
ing is said to have been of the
bootleg" variety. He would pur-
chase common grade of whiskey
elsewhere and sell 1t here for a
higher price. Appearances are rath-
or dark for the young man, as he
will have to go to Clarksburg and
stan dtrial before the United States
court.
