Putnam lands are still among the
cheapest and best in Georgia, with .
healthful climate that causes many set
tiers to stop here before going further
into south Georgia.

MEXICAN COMMANDER
ARRESTED IN TEXAS
Leader of Mexican Troops
Charged With Conspiring
Against United States

SAN ANTONIO. Texas, Nov. 1S.-Gen-
Bernardo Reyes, commander-in-chief of
the Mexican army during the regime OF
former President Diaz temporarily re-
siding in San Antonio because, he de-
cIares, he considered his life was not
secure in the southern republic, was ar
rested late yesterday in an indictment
returned by the federal grand jury at
Laredo charged with conspiring against
a friendly government.
General Reyes waived examination
and made bond of $4,000 to insure his
presence Monday morning before Unit
ed States Commissioner Edward, when
it is expected certified copy OF the
indictment will have reached San An
tonic. A new bond will then be ar
anged. His trial will be held at Loredo
at a date to be fixed later.
The arrest OF General Reyes, who
was named with several others as in
volved in an alleged plot against the
Mexican government comes as climax
to rumors of an impending revolution
which have been rife for several weeks.
Several days ago prominent followers
of President Francisco /. Madero, or
Mexico. who are in San Antonio. fatty
charged that General Reyes was ar
ranging an uprising from this side or
the border.

diction of the United States, did be-

The Washington herald., 1911-12-04

New York, Dec 3-There were few il
any important occurrences in financial
matters last week. Large money inter-
ests were apparently doing little in the
stock market and the stock market itself
was inclined to irregularity and profit
taking with consequent heaviness.
All this represents a normal and
healthy course. No reasonable person
can expect that such rapid advance in
prices as has been witnessed in the last
two months can be continued without
pause Business in the country, though
improved and improving, is still not in a
state to justify hopes of an excited ad-
vance Immediately, and business prog
ress, like everything else, must make
haste slowly.
Presumably the fact that last week
contained a holiday had something to
do with the quieting down of speculation.
But a greater market factor was the
coming meeting of Congress. Possibly
there might have been some selling of
stocks because of the more or less violent
rise in call money rates toward the end
of the week. although it was hard to see
why the action of any other person than
an unusually mercurial speculator should
have been Influenced in this way.
AS regards the session of Congress,
some anxiety is naturally felt, even if it
is perfectly evident that financial re-
straint because of ii is less than ordi-
nary With both parties in Congress and
various Presidential candidates playing
for position in the next electoral contest
business men are instinctiVely holding
OFF from large commitments until they
can see how far politicians are willing to
go in disturbing business for what they
think to be cunning political ends. Never

Cat. Long Walk to Old Home.

The story Of a notable journey OF cat
from Kingston, Surrey. to its former
home at Glastonbury. in Somersetshire,
a distance OF about 133 miles, is now told
by an astonished correspondent.
In April last a cat. mottled gray, an de-
scribed as half Persian in breed, was sent
from Glastonbury, where it had been
reared. to the matron of the Kingston
Nursing Home. 1t was sent in a pack
ing case. drilled with air holes, and OBJ
viously the animal had no opportunity
of marking the points OF its journey.
Soon after arrival at Kingston the cat
was lost, and despite the most diIigent
searching, no trace of it could be found
The maron Of the nursing home has
now received a letter from Glastonbury
stating that the cat has found its way
back to its old home. 1t arrived emaci-
ated and footsore, and apparently had
walked the whole of the 133 miles
The letter describes the cat on its ar
rival as "a mere shadow Of its former
self" and expresses the belief that, al
though terribly weak through it's wan
derings, 1t can be nursed back to a
healthy condition.

LEAVE FOR ORIENT
TO STUDY. MISSION
Washington Business Man
One of Probing Seven.

Two members of the committee of sew
en- from the International Bible Students
Association, which is to visit the Orient
and make survey of missionary inter
ests in the non-Christtan world, left
Washington last night for St Louis
where they will meet the other commit
teemen. The Washingtonians are John
7. d. Pyles and Brig. Gen. w. p. Hall.
The probe of the committee Is to be
exhaustive. First among the questions to
be answered is whether the business OF
missions is conducted as other businesses
would be-economically and efficiently
The question whether present-day meth
ods are effectively reaching the heather
and persuadfng him to accept Christianity
will also be taken up. Most important to
the public is the question: How much of
the money subscribed for foreign mis-
sicns is used for the heather.
The party will sail from San Francisco
on December Il and will return to New
York on March Is. On April the re-
port will be read publicly.
Besides the two Washingtonians the
committee comprises Rev. Charles T.
Russell, of New York; E. w. v. Keuhn,
a grain dealer, of Toledo; r. B. Max
we'll, dry goods merchant, of Mansfield,
Ohio; D. L. w. Jones, of Chicago, and
Prof. F. II. Robinson, linguist, of New
York.
