SEEK PAN-kMERlCAN CODE
Two United States Delegates Are En-
eourased by Work Of Rio Janeiro
Conference.

Washington. d. C.-Henry L. James
and Frederick Van Dyne. two dele
gates from the United States TO the
international conference for the codi-
hcation OF public and private interna-
uonal law, which recently finished it's
work at Rio Janeiro, Brazil. have re-
turned to this country. Mr.. James.
who is assistant chief OF the Latin
American division of the state depart
ment, reported that the delegates
from this country are convinced that
substantial foundation has been
laid in the Rio Janeiro conference for
the development of a form of pro.
ceeding which will insure uniformity
of Jaws and practice in American in.
ternational relations.
While the task is a monumental
one, owing to the difficulty of recon
Cling and unifying practices based
on principles so widely variant as the
Latin code and the British and Ameri.
can common law, it is expected that
tangible results will come from work
to be performed by number of sub
committees. To these committees
have been assigned some of the most
vexatious problems of international
relations which will be considered at
meetings to be held in the following
six capitals; Montevideo, Lima, San
tiago de Chile, Rio Janeiro, Buenos
Aires and Washington, at dates to be
determined by the chairmen.
What the conference hopes to make
a reality is a common code to be ad
ministered by a great international
supreme court.

REBEL S MIXED ARMY
How Zapata Recruited His Fol-
lowers in Mexico.
Every Outlaw and Fugitive From Jus
tlce Was Enlisted by 1.-THE At
tia of Republic" as Poems
Call Bandit.

Mexico City.-When Zapata first re-
cruited his followers they told me he
had drawn to himself every outlaw
and fugitive from justice who up to
that time had been hiding in the More
los hills or in the vast underground
caves Of Cacahuimilpa. near Cuerpa-
vaca.
Later, when Zapata and his men
took Cuernavaca, Zapata opened the
Jail and penitentiary, and, putting q
good rifle and a handful Of cartridges
Into each convict's hands, he babe
them help themselves to horses wher-
ever they could find them. AS there
are several horse ranches and rich
haciendas with celebrated racing
studs In the immediate vicinity of
Cuernavaca, 1t did not take long be-
tore all those new recruits went
mounted on the best of horses, as was
here to be seen.
After the great review Of Zapata's
bandit forces, Senior Madero commit
ted the colossal blunder, as it turned
out to be, of paying off all of Zapatas
men for their alleged services in the
Madero revolution, without putting an
armed guard over them to see that
they actually turned in their rifles and
cartridges before returning to their
homes.
The result of this was that Emiliano
Zapata simply drew the sum of $4,000
pesos set aside for himself and his
followers, without bothering to turn
In more than few stacks of arms,
after which he announced that he and
his men would not give any more
arms unless they received twice the
amount Of the originally stipulated
kum.
After this the misunderstanding
between the newly constituted gov.
eminent authorities and the Zapata
brothex grew apace. Zapata was
summoned to the capital. He came
deiantly, surrounded by an armed
bodyguard In his brief stay at one OF
the principal hotels in Mexico City he
livened things up by shooting out all
the windows of the cantina because
they would not serve him with drinks
after in the morning.
On the following day he and his
companions Communicated some hall
dozen city taxicabs and rode back te
Cuernavaca, about rs miles away
After this Zapata and his men IL
Morelos became quite unmanageable
so far as the newly constituted au
thorities we're concerned. francisco
de la Barra, Mexicos president ad in
term, tried to temporize with th1
Zapata brothers for a while, aftel
which Senior Madero, in his capacity
as leader Of the revolution, pending
his election as constitutional presi
dent, made special trip to Morelol
to Smooth down" the enraged Zapat
lists.
But the smoothing down" did no
last, for within week Zapata's fol
lowers were shooting up" the col
umns Of regular soldiers who ha,
been sent to garrison the most i'm
portant towns Of Morelos, In respons,

Farm Hand Discovers Can of
Gold in. Missouri.
Wycke Patterson Ftees With Fortune
secreted by Civil War Bandit
Refuses to Tell Amount-May
Share With His Employer.

Liberty Mo.-One stroke Of the pick
made Wycke Patterson, a farm hand
rich beyond his fondest expectations
when he struck pot of gold con-
cealed in the wall of an old building
which he was helping to raze on the
farm of his employer near Huntsville,
Mo. A notice OF the discovery of the
treasure was received here by c. E.
Yancey, owner of the place.
How the farm hands quick wit en-
abled him to make away with the
thousands in gold before the eyes OF
seven helpers was told in the mes
sage.
The old building, used before the
Civil war as an inn, had long been an
eyesore on the big mule ranch owned
by the Yancey family A force OF
workmen under the direction of Pat,
terson began tearing down the ruins
last week.
After removing a stone casing in the
second story, Patterson struck some
thing that gave out sharp metallic
sound. Two white laborers and five
negroes crowded about him as he dug
into the masonry and found a sealed
pot One blow knocked off the lid
and the group gazed upon the vesse
filed with gold pieces.
Jaws dropped and eyes opened.
Good Lawd, we'se all struck Il
rich" said one negro. "Whatll we
But Patterson had his presence o
mind. He seized the treasure pot ant
darted down the steps and out of the
door. By the time his companions
had recovered and followed, he wal
out of sight Through Saturday nigh
and Sunday the farm hand guarded
the pot of gold. Not even his wifi

1t was early in the morning when
mighty clouds of smoke suddenly rose
up from the steppes, sure sign to
the inhabitants that a fire was In

with which the fire rolled over the dry

ger was of being scoEched by the fiery
breath which swept on ahead of the
furnace. Women and children who
sank helpless to the ground were
dragged along by the other villagers,
for only hasty flight was now of any
avail. But even this would not have
saved them had not a lake lain in
their path, into which they all rushed,
wading in as far as they could with

the water in their direction, baffled
in their thirst for victims.
