DIR. WINCHESTER IS
BISHOP COADJUTOR
Is Selected by EpiScopalian Coun-
ell OF Diocese OF Arkansas
After Long and Spirited
Debate.

Little Rock, May i2.--The Epis-
copal council of the diocese of Ar
kansas in session at Christ church
yesterday unanimously selected Dr.
James R. Winchester, rector OF
Calvary church, Memphis, Tenn, as
bishop coadiutor, with nearly all
the perquisites and honors of bish-
op OF the diocese of Arkansas. This
was by the request OF Bishop
Brown, the present bishop, who
has asked and obtained two years
leave OF absence, owing TO i'll health.
The strong possibility that Bish-
op Brown may resign at the end
of his two years leave of absence
lends additional Importance to the
Office of bishop coadjutor.

Juarez. May ii.--Insurrectos today
determined not only to hold Juarez
against attack, but to prevent fight
in this vicinity il possible. Plans
are being laid for a force OF several
hundred to march southwark to
meet General Rabage, the federal
leader, who is reported on his way
here from Chihuahua with a large
army. The town was quiet today.
General Nevarro, who was paroled
with his officers last night, spent the
night in the same house with Ma
dero.
Insurrectos today are conquerors
in town which is most important
capture of the revolution not only
because it is the port of entry to
the United States and the insurrec-
tos believe that in the next "a hours
food and supplies will be crossing
the line to them unmolested, but
because they are now in possession
of about 100000 rounds of ammuni-
ton, several machine guns and field
pieces, about 700 Mauser rifles and
enough ammunition belts and other
war sundries TO last some time.
Though the revolutionists are
flushed with victory and some are
eager to pursue the fight. conserva-
tive leaders are hoping the battle of
Juarez will be the last chapter of
the military side of the revolution.
Having demonstrated their strength
in the field they wish to turn their
attention TO the argument of words
and public opinion. They are ady
TO listen to any propositions of the
government. Rebel political leaders
today are comforting with General
Madero and revising the demands
made before the battle. They are
strengthening them somewhat and
will continue to insist on real par
|ticipation in governmental affairs
and such privileges as the naming
of men from their party for govern
ors in fourteen states and four port
folios in the cabinet.
As to Diaz.
The attitude Of the rebels on the
question of the resignation Of Presi-
ident Diaz is hardly crystallized as
lyet. DR.. Vasquez Gomez, one of the
Irebel peace commissioners, declared
today that that still was the para
mount consideration around which
/ all prospects of peace hinged. Reb-
Iels have taken the stand that their
demand that General Diaz make
public merely his intention Of re-
signing has been met with such
vague and haunty reply that they
now will demand the fixing of the
exact time for his retirement.

SENATOR CRIES FOR
WHITE WASH BRUSH
Indicted For Bribery, He Is Anxious
TO Be Investigated by Senate
Committee - Anti-Immunity
Bath Bill Lost.

Columbus, O., May Ex-senator l..
r.. Anderson,or Ironton, who has
been indicted by the grand jury here
for soliciting and receiving bribes
from three of the Burns detectives,
made the sensational statement be-
fore the senate last night that one
of the detectives was sent to the
penitentiary fifteen years ago for
burglary, and that nine years ago
little girl upon whose life he had
taken out S6,o0p IN insurance, was
murdered.
After he got through talking the
senate voted almost unanimously
against the Greaves bill, which
sought to curtail the power of any
Legislative body to hold white
wash hearing of charges against
the legislators and TO issue "ealci-
mine brushes" to those guilty MEM
Ders.
1T will be shown at the proper
time that back of these indictments
and this prosecution is the most
damnable conspiracy of murderers
and robbers this country mas ever
known" shouted Senator Andrews.
Then Accuses Detective.
Then, turning to the newspaper
correspondents, he said:
What would you gentlemen of
the press say if it were shown that
my accuser, one of the Burns de-
tectives, was sent to the peniten-
tiary fifteen vars ago for stealing,
and that nine years ago he and an
other man insured the life of lit
tie girl for $4,000; that the girl was
murdered and that this man turned
states evidence, while his compan-
ion is now serving a term in the
Joliet penitentjqry?"
Senator Andrews stated that he
wanted to be investigated, but that
he thought this should be done by
a legislative committee and not by
grand jury.
He put pathos into his speech by
reference to his wife, his four chill
dren and his aged father and moth
er, whose heads are bowed in grief
because of the dishonor and dis
grace which has come to them
through these charges.
Green Champions Bills.
State Senator Green championed
the Greeves bill, which sought to re-
peal the law granting immunity,
and was one of the few members
of the senate who voted for it when
1t was defeated.
State Senator Coke L. Doster of
Highland county cried on the sem
ate chamber this afternoon that
there was trickery in the indict-
ments returned.
ITO hell with public opinion he
cried dramatically.
ut changes as the wind, and to
follow it is to have no just bear
tngs on this earth"
Ten minutes the state senate
voted in favor of this sentiment and
rejected the resignation of the two
state senators who refused to serve
on the committee named on the
Hudson resolution yesterday.
Green of Coschochton and Krause
of Cleveland said that they will have
nothing to do WI this committee
which is to issue the white wash"
brush.

EX-CONVICT GETS
s2,7Sg.OO VERDICT
Anton brown Is Awarded Damages
for Alleged Cruel Treatment in
Pulaski County Convict Camp
Important Rulings Made.

Little Rock. May i2~Anton Brown
obtained verdict for $3.50 against
Il. N. Wiegel, convict camp eontrac-
tor, in the United States Circuit
Court yesterday for false imprison-
ment and inhuman treatment while
serving a sentence for assault and
battery at the camp,
Nearly an hour was consumed by
Judge Jacob Trieber in charging
the jury, in which he extensively
reviewed the evidence. In the be-
ginning he referred to the fact that
since the magma eharta the English
speaking people had been very jeal-
Gus Of their liberty and rights, and
that both the constitution OF the
United States and that OF Arkansas
were strong in favor of personal
liberty. Continuing, he said the
plaintiff could have had. Wiegel ar
rested, as claimed by counsel for
the defendant; but. If he had done
SO, he still had the right to sue for
damages, and that he was not re-
quired to have sWiegel arrested or
get a writ OF habeas corpus before
he could bring suit In this connec-
ton he said: You may we'll ask
yourself, if man has no friends,
no money and is confined in con-
Wet camp, how can he get to law
yers and courts?"
Judge Trieber's Charge.
Judge Trieber explained to the
jury that no legal commitment had
ever been given TO Wiegel.
AT one place in the testimony"
he said, there is conflict Of tes-
timony as TO the character OF the
treatment and time OF whipping the
plaintiff. On the one hand, the
plaintiff is a man who was tried for
the crime Of assault and battery, as
testified TO on one side; while on the
other, the defendant, who, by his
own admission has been working
convicts for seven years, testified to
different state OF facts. and il is
for the jury TO determine who Is
telling the truth"
Judge Trieher pointed out to the
jury that Wiegcl had no right to
punish Brown for any cause after
his time had expired for the fine
and costs: that he had no right to
whip him for any reason If he was
sick. and had no right TO whip him
on the naked body under any cir
cumstances.
That part Of Judge Trieber's
charge relating TO the fact that
Brown was whipped was offered in
evidence during the trial and known
as Rule 6 of the camp concerning
punishment of convicts, which pro-
vides that the punishment must be
in accordance with that prescribed
in the rules of the state penitenti-
AIRY, and specifically stipulates that
no convict shall be whipped on his
bare back"
II was one of the contentious of
Judge Vaughan Of counsel for Vie
gel that Browns redress was in
having Wiegel arrested for the
harsh treatment he testified he re-
ceived, or obtain his release by a
writ of habeas corpus, if he was be-
ing unlawfully detained. Lewis
Rhoton. attorney for Brown, replied
To this contention by saying that if
Wiegei had been arrested and re-
eeived the maximum fine he would
be turned over to himself to serve
it out at his own camp.
Judge Vaughan said yesterday
that Just as soon as the papers
could be prepared the judgement Of
the court in the case would be APP
pealed.

Housewives in the Rocky mountain region
and in other elevated portions Of the United
states are obliged to solve a few culinary
problems that do not trouble women else
where.
For example, a woman goes from an east
ern city to live in one Of the high valleys
Of Colorado. She attempts to make cake
and quite naturally uses the recipe to which
she has long been accustomed. The cake,
instead of acting as 1t ought, flows over
the side Of the pan. covers the bottom of
the oven and tries to find its way out
under the oven door and over the kitchen
floor What remains in the pan, instead
of rounding UP, appears collapsed.
The trouble is not with Ahe recipe, but
with the atmospheric pressure. which in
terferes with cooking in a good many ways.
At sea-level, water boils at PIP degrees
Fahrenheit. At an elevation of loo feet II
boils at 2l0 degrees. At Denver, which is
one mile above sea-level, water boils at 209
degrees. In the San Luis valley. at Del
Norte, which is 1850 feet up, It boils at 1871
degrees. At Leadville, which is nearly two
miles above the sea, II boils at 1913 degrees.
How is the housewife 10 boil an egg at
Leadvue? The answer 10 that the thing ls
very hard to accomplish. At all events. she
must cook the eggs some minutes longer

There may be cause for rejoicing among
prohibitionists and corresponding cause
for alarm among others at the news that
the Importation of French champagne into
the United States shows an immense fall
ing off from the Importation of the pre-
ceding year. IN fact, the official figures
indicate that 1910 was the worst year for
the champagne importers since 1898.
The figures, 4s1,771 cases Of champagne
in 1900. and only 254,751 cases in 1910, tell
their own story, and the American Wine
Press offers the following explanation.
The French champagnes made a big
apparent gain in 1909 because thousands of
extra cases were imported to escape the
increased tariff duty, and large quantities
of the wine are said to be unsold or In
warehouses. In brief the American cham
pagnes are gaining what the foreign brands
