Straps and facts.

O'Clock The search for the body had
been pushed since the drowning
searchers using poles and gigs; but
without avail until at last hope began
to centre on an old belief that the
bodies of drowned persons come to the

ing. The body came up in Is or 20
feet of the spot where 1t went down,
and was recovered with but little diff
ficulty 1t is said to have been in ex-
cellent state Of preservation, the flesh
and skin being intact and no bruises
showing.
Washington, April "a: The Dem
ocratic tariff bill, putting agricultural
implements, cotton bagging, leather,
boots and shoes, harness, meat, lum-
her, flour and many other articles on
the free list of the existing tariff law
of the United States, came before the
house just before adjournment today,
and will be taken up again as soon as
the house convenes tomorrow. A final
vote on the bill will not be reached
before the end of this week, and the
house leaders are in doubt whether it
will come before the following week.
A. w. Underwood, chairman of the
ways and means committee, expressed
the opinion in the house this afternoon
that the debate will last four or five
days: the Republicans expect that It
will take even longer. The Democrats
are confident of passing the farm
ers free list" as II is known, by a
large majority.
-Asheville. April "a: Belated re-
ports from the mountain section OF
Pennsylvania county state that
Caesars Head" a famous peak OF
the Blue Ridge, about twenty miles
from Brevard, had been overturned by
the earthquake shock which is said to
have been felt in various sections OF
western North Carolina Friday night.
1t is stated that the mountain top fell
with a crash which was heard for
miles around, and many of the native
farmers were greatly alarmed. "Cae-
sar's Head" has. been one of the show
places of western North Carolina since
this country was first developed, and
II was a favorite spot with tourists.
In appearance 1t was dark and forbid
ding and the natives of that section
have long connected it with weird le-
gend and mystery. It has been crack
ing at various points for several years,
and on it's summit two years ago,
there opened fissure of great depth.
Chihuahua, Mexico, April 81: An
American arriving from the interior
today reported that twenty eight
der west of Ell Paso with 10000 rounds
of ammunition, had arrived at General
Madero's camp after nine days
march. When they reached Madero
they were all disarmed because OF
some disagreement. The feeling en-
gendered among the Mexican federal
forces by the participation Of Amer
leans in the insurrecto ranks is in
tense. The federals regard the Amer
fhnnn greater
foes than the natives, and those in
authority have sent out notices warn
ing Americans to keep out of the
strife and remain on their own side
of the border. The more Americans
who join the insurrectos, the greater
is the danger of international compli-
cations" said an official. The filibus-
ters also imperil the interests of
American business people in Mexico.
Citizens of the United States should
be told they are not wanted south Of
the Rio Grande."
-Daytona, Fla, April %: Bob Bur-
man celebrated his eth birthday to-
day by making new automobile racing
history at Daytona beach. He proved
he was only "joy riding" yesterday
when he placed the mile mark at a
2612 clip and the kilometer mark at
1927 for today he clipped the mile
down to 25.40 seconds and the kilo-
meter record to 1888 seconds. He also
lowered Barney Oldfield's two mile
world record of 55.S7 seconds to 51.2S
seconds. With the course none too
good for record work, but slightly
faster than yesterday when he hung
up new worlds records, the intrepid
driver was out early getting his "Blit-
zen" Benz ready for another battle
with time. A large crowd, anticipating
even greater speed than was shown
yesterday, were early at the beach
and were not disappointed. Burman
maintained a speed of $50 miles an
hour in his two mile trial. or a frac-
tion less than that in his one mile
trial. which was 151 miles an hour.
The kilometer trials, which set the
mark down to 1918 seconds were made
at approximately 155 miles an hour
and gives the young pilot the distinc-
tion of travelling faster than anything
heretofore driven on wheels. f. A.
Morross. owner of the Bitten Benz,
was enthusiastic over the records set
up by Burman and declared it was his
intention to take Burman to the
Brookland track in England this year
and pit him against the great Euro
pean drivers. Burman also was the
recipient of a message of congratula-
ton from Barney Oldfeld. the former
speed king, now in Los Angeles.

the home of Detective Reed of Chi
cago police department in South Chi
cago," said Captain Wood. More ar
rests In the case are expected and
any disclosure of the details Of the
confession at this time would make
them almost impossible. While here
the men under arrest were never in
communication with each other and
neither knew that his companion was
a prisoner in the same house. They
were questioned necessarily and final
ly a confession was obtained from one
of them. The plants of dynamite,
