LOS ANGELES. Cal. February 2O.-It
has been rumored here for the last day
or two that Jack London, the novelist,
had gone fighting in the ranks Of the
Mexican instructors, and later that ne
had been wounded and made prisoner
by the Diaz forces. Yesterday the rev "
tionary junta located here denied posi-
lively that London had been arrested.
Its members say that Mexican has been
mistaken for him.
London's wife says he Is not in Mex

Word Of Capture.
Word to the effect that London and ST.
mon Berthold, an American socialist. Sec
ond in command OF the insurgent forces
in southern California, had been captured,
was received by A. l. Mccormick, United
States district attorney, from Capt Bah
cock, L. s. A., in charge Of a patrol at
Caiexico, Saturday night. Mccormick
and Lee Youngworth, United States mar
shall, left fer Calexico. They were sum-
moned by telegraph, the summons coming
from Capt BabcOck.
1t was surmised that the problem pre-
sented by the capture Of the two men
proved too much for Capt. Ba bcock, and
that he called the nearest representative
of the United States Attorney General
and his court machinery to Calexico to
obtain light on his rights and those of
the prisoners.
MEXICALI. Mex, February 2O.-Gen.
Ileyva and Simon Berthold, his second
in command. admitted yesterday that
they were preparing to move on Ensen-
ada. They say when they do depart
a garrison will be left capable of defend
ing the town.
The report that Jack London and Ber-
thold were in custody at Calexico caused
much amusement here London is not
among the Americans in the rebel ranks
while Berthold held conferences yesterday
with United States officials on this side
Of the line.

SON Of POISON VICTIM
SWALLOWS FATAL DRUG
Chemist Accused of CAUSING
Death of His Father and
a Relative.

LONDON. February 2O.-The coffee
poisoning mystery at Dalkeith had a
tragic-sequel today in the suicide of John
Hutchinson, son of one Of the victims,
who swallowed fatal drug in the pres
ence Of officers sent to arrest him. The
suicide was a chemist and was charged
with having placed poison in the coffee
served at dinner party at his father S
home, resulting in two deaths and the
serious illness of several other persons.
Poison in the Coffee.
On the evening of February Charles
B. Hutchinson. man of about fifty
years Of age, connected with the Duke
Of Buccleuch's Dalkeith estate office gave
a dinner for sixteen friends. At the end
of the meal coffee was served, first to the
ladies and later to the gentlemen. After
only a few minutes several of the ladies
became i'll and then a number of the
gentlemen complained Of distress.
Physicians were summoned, but the host
died during the night. Later Alexander
Clapperton, relative, died. Twelve
others were more or less seriously i'll for
some days.
Son Under Suspicion.
Post-mortem examinations revealed
that the deaths were due to poisoning,
and suspicion fell on the son, John. A
warrant for his arrest was issued and to-
day the officers found him at a hotel at
Guernsey. An exciting scene followed,
during which the young man drew a vial
from his pocket and, despite the efforts
of the officers to prevent him, drank the
contents. He died in a few moments.
The motive for poisoning the dinner
party, if known. has not been divulged.

PENSION BILL REPORTED.
Amount Provided Is Increased to
$156. .688 900 in Senate.

The pension appropriation bill was re-
ported to the Senate today. carrying
s156.6SS,0O0. This is $4,000 in excess
of the amount of the bill as it passed
the House, the difference being repre-
sented by salaries and expenses of the
eighteen pension agencies throughout
the country which the House proposed
to abolish.
There have been contests between the
Senate and the House over the pension
agencies for the last seven or eight
years 1t is understood now that this
fight will be settled by President Taft,
who proposes to abolish all but about
six of the agencies. and consolidate the
work in larger districts than now exist.
Under this understanding the Senate
amendment probably will be allowed to
remain in the bill.

A Silly Question

One OF the grades in a certain public
school was reciting it's lesson in United
States history. In detail the teacher mar
rated the facts connected with John Smith
AID his adventures with The Indians. She
told how Smith was captured by the In
dians, how he was sentenced 10 death, and
how Pocahontas saved his life. Then the
story turned to the marriage Of John Rolfe
and Pocahontas, and among the many
things she told them in connectinon with
this unusual marriage that brought peace
between the Indians and colonists, was OF
their little baby boy, and also that they
visited England. and everywhere Poca-
hontas received marked attention.
At the end of her interesting story she
conducted brief examination to see how
well the pupils remembered what she had
told them. The first question was:
And what did the marriage Of John
Rolfe and Pocahontas bring?"
