Seno' mantour from Paris, the ar

asy at Washington for his new pos
ition at the Mexican capital were all
explained today in interviews with
Francisco l. Madcro, ST., and Gustavo
Madero.
Tentative peace proposals have
been made, and on the administra-
, ton side, have been acted on. In
the view Of Don Francisco peace is
assured; if not within 10 days, then
at the furthest within a month.

on the vital point OF why they
were certain that the tentative
arrangements would within set

peace, father and son were silent.
They answered freely other questions.
When the elder Madero and Linn
antour met recently, the very meet
ing was denied; not to speak Of a
discussion Of terms of peace. Today
it was admitted that the interview
concerned peace alone.
Senor Limantour, the Mexican fin
ancier, familiar alike with the
bourse OF Paris, with Wall street and
moneyed London, Vienna and Ber-
lin, RESPONDED to the presidential
summons to come to the United
States from Paris and carriel out

Diaz
Limantour agreed to obtain every
concession possible from the govern
ment to the revolutionists TO make
possible formal negotiations for
peace.
Ihe basic concessions included The
resignation OF the Diaz cabinet and
the appointment Of younger men to
their positions. The next is the res
ignation Of Diaz and the holding Of
an election where the suffrage shall
be unconstrained and free
Diaz, according to the programme,

WOMEN IN WALL STREET.
They Are All Good Winners But
They All Drown Their
Losses in Tears.

Too many women brokers are hoo
docs, and some stock exchange houses
refuse absolutely to have anything to
do with the fair sex. The majority of
brokerage firms try their best to keep
woman's speculative accounts out of
their offices. Some houses are obliged
to take women's accounts as matter
of personal friendship, but they will
not open accounts for other women, no
matter how well they may be intro
duced
Wall street men do mot have high

that one needs only to get tip

Methods Adopted in the Days When
"No Cickin', No Larnin'," Was
the Rule.

century ago are incredible to modern

Horace Walton, at. recess, climbed
to the top OF the highest nut tree and,
losing his hold, fell to the ground. He

descent The boys were terribly
frightened as he struck the ground.
Just as we crowded about him to see
if he still lived, our faces as white as
his, the bell rang for the resumption
OF studies.
The last boy in was Walton, and
Just as he fell rather than sat down in
his seat the master shouted, Come
out here instanter!" He gave him q
fogging that made the fall from the
tree seem the lesser Of the two evils.
A few years ago, meeting Walton for
the first time for many years, he re-
marked that he well remembered how

assembled this order was observed:

A meeting of the Knox County Poul-

held at the Office of Stream e. Rimer
on Wednesday evening for the purpose
of electing officers and to make ar
rangements for the coming Knox coun-
ty show which will be held in Mt. Ver-

Arrangements have been made
whereby the poultry will be shown on
the second floor of the Sapp Bros.

same place where the show was held

event Of last year.
The poultry will be judged by Mr..

In the case of Levering Brothers
VS.. Horkhimer Brothers, which has
been occupying the attention of the
jury in the court of common pleas all
week, the jury returned a verdict for
the defendant Thursday afternoon for
$3,O57.73.
The Jury retired at-2:30 Wednes-
day afternoon and returned the ver-
dict at 110 Thursday afternoon.
The claim of Levering Brothers in
their suit against Horkhimer Broth
ers was for $7,369.47 and was based
on the allegation that they had bought
wool for the Horkhimers on a COM
mission and that in the various deals
growing out of the transaction they
had also advanced certain monies
from time to time. In their answer

Now Locked Up In County Jail
At Mt. GjIead
Had Been Searching For The
Men A Month
Delaware Journal Herald)

Ray Baker and Charles Moore, the
two Delaware county young men who
have been sought for the past month,
charged with contributing to the de-
linquency of Murie Myers, 15-year-old
daughter of Marion Myers of Marion
county, were located in Akron Tues
day and Sheriff Chilcote of Mt. Gilead
brought the accused men back We'd
nesday, lodging them in the Morrow
county Jail.
The alleged abduction took place
October 8, while the girls father was
at work quite a distance from home.
Both Baker and Moore had called on
the young woman, and Myers had en-
tered serious objections. On the day
mentioned, however, the Delaware
countians were apprised of the faith
ers absence and, driving up with a
rig, made a clean getaway with the
girl.
Riding three in buggy, they went
to Centerburg, Knox county, where
Bakers sister took charge of the out
fit and the other members of the party
took train for the northern part of
the state. Miss Baker returned the
rig to Peter Cantlebury, from whom
it was hired by her brother.
From that time until Tuesday not a
word was received from any of the
young people. However, Merle Need
less of Olive Green, who recently went
to work in an Akron rubber plant,
happened to lay eyes upon the young
men OF his acquaintance one day, and
soon found that they were working
in another rubber factory in that city.
He further learned that Murine Myers,
the girl with whom they ran away,
was employed in an Akron restaurant.
She was going under the name of
Murine Baker, but now states that she
was not married to Ray Baker, but
identity.
Inquiry developed the fact that the
three young people were staying at
the Armstrong rooming house prior
to accepting their respective positions,
as previously noted.
The Myers girl claims that she is
16 years of age, but her father states
that she is but Is. If his word goes
then there is promise to be more serl
GUS charge placed against Baker, for
whom she seems to show the greatest
fondness, and there is a probability
that the charge will be made sufficient
ly sweeping to include Moore. Both
young men come of prominent Della
ware county families.

OITERBEIN
Second To Play Mt. Vernon
high School Saturday

The Otterbein college second foot
ball team will be here for q game with
the local high school team on Satur-
day afternoon. The local management
was disappointed because of the can
celled game with the Otterbein team
last Saturday and when Ashland can
celled their game for this coming Sat
urday a special effort was made to
secure a good team to fill the date.
The Otterbein aggregation consented
to come and very good game is
expected. The locals have been prac-
ticing hard every afternoon this week
and are in good condition.
The Otterbein second team defeated
some of the Columbus High schools
and this gives proof of the fact that
the game will be hard one Captain
Altenberg will be in condition after
two weeks rest and will no doubt be
able to play his usual star game. A
good attendance is hoped for as the
team IS badly in need of financial sup
port.
