Still Picking Winners.
All over this section of the country
wherever the Alexandria Gazette in

the people are discussing the probab-
lie result Of the tour Of Europe contest
and are predicting that this or that
favorite is sure to come under the
wire as winner. These knowing ones
always believe their own candidates
are sure to win. If they could only
realize that subscriptions count for

this kind their favorites would stand

Danger in Overc0nfdence.
Each of the candidates should bear
in mind that there is great danger

idled away the hours That should have

GtEXICAM SITUATION
An1ietycin State Department Over
SShipment Of Rifles.

Washington, April l0.-Anxiery
was aroused in the state department
today by simultaneous dispatches
from Mexico that the shipment of
/ 900 Krag rifles and 900, 600 rounds
Of ammunition consigned to Ambas-
dor Wilson to be issued to members
Of the American Safe Defense Soci-
ETY., in Mexico City, arrived 1t Vera
Cruz late yesterday and will be ship
ped through to Mexico City tonight
on the xisep.Natienal lafireafTantt
second, thaS rioting and plundering
has suddenly broken out, all along the
railroad route over which the arms
must pass.
AS guns of almost any make are
selling in Mexico at $1,000 piece, it
is feared that the consignment may
be taken from the train today by reh-
els who could reap a huge fortune by
such a robbery.
The department has ordered coun-
suls to conduct rigid investigation
into the arrest and detention in Il
filthy Jail in Jiminez Of c. E. Huber
lein, mining engineer, whose resi-
dence is Los Angeles. Dispatches to
the department few days ago told
of Heberlein's arrest by the rebels
but claiming that the American had
offended Orozco by mixing up in the
revolution on the Madero side.
Heberlein has appealed to Senator
Works, of California, who is insisting
that the United States demand Heb
erlein's release, since it is not recog-
nized by the American government
that Orozco has any legal power to
arrest anyone.
The strike of seven hundred Ameri
cans, employed as engineers and con-
ductors on the railroad between Vera
Cruz and Mexico City is now certain
to occur April ID, the demands OF the
men having been refused, the state
department learned today.
Orozco has officially repudated to
American counsulur officers the recent
manifest which was rousing MeXicans
to q high pitchof hatred against the
Ar4eriean4, according to dispatches
today. All of the rebel chiefs, how
ever, have joined in manifesto COM
pletely repudiating the candidacy Of
Emilio Gomez, now in San Antonio,
for President Of Mexico.
The state department was advised
today that Senator Padro Lascorain,
an eminent Mexican lawyer, has as
sumed charge Of the Mexican foreign
office, succeeding Caiero, who comes
to the u. S. as ambassador.
Arnold Shanklin, connSul general
of Mexico, whose sudden summons To
Washington Il month ago gave rise
To rumors that there was friction be-
tween him and ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson and that the former was
to be transferred To some other coun-
try, is to return Immediately To Mex

House today.

The heavy voting still continues.
You can't stop EN-. Every candidate
is trying her best to lead. But OF
course some of them will have to be
satisfied to stay down in the list un,
til they get more subscriptions. More
new subscriptions is what they want
And every candidate is certainly going
after them too. If this heavy voting
keeps up to the end of the contest
which every indication is that it will,
for every candidate is wanting to let
her friends know that she is in the con
test and wants to win. And any cam
didate in the race can win even though
she has not made u very strong effort
so far. 1t is in the next few days
that the trips will be won, and you
can win them il you go after those
new subscriptions, with that determi-
nation which always spells success
when backed up by hard work.
Now what will you do? viii you
work the remaining four days or will
you slack up and let your competit-
ors win when you can do it just as
easily. The next four days will de-
eide.
Two new leaders apear today in the
big tour contest. They arc Miss El-
izabeth King of the first district and
Miss Lisa Anderson Of the SECOND.
Miss King takes the lead from Miss
Proctor who made such a big lead yes
terday. Miss Proctor strengthened
her lead but il was mol quite strong
enough to hold the seat in the tour
band wagon. Miss Uhler votes q
special ballot and passes the 10000
mark by small margin. Miss Spot
ford is fourth with "a, AGA votes more
than 5000 behind the leader There
was q general change in the second
Yesterday when Miss Anderson comes
from fourth in the list to top liner.
Every candidate is trying to make
big leads. Miss Ficklin steps to third
position and Miss lfeisley makes Il
forward: move to: the second and Miss
Fawcett is contented to hold the four
tn place.
Miss Irene Pullman still holds her
place in the honor roll, but Miss Jul
ia Lewis voted special ballot but il
was not quite strong enough to wrest
her from the high seat.
Big surprises will be sprung at the
end of the contest and YOU ought to
make big surprise to the other can
didates and lead at the end. Every
young lady who is wanting to tour
Europe is doing this and what you
should do from now until the end
which comes Monday night at nine
o'clock, is to get every subscription
that you possibly can. and get your
friends to get them for you. Some
one is going to win and all indications
are that the race will be close and II
is quite likely that one more subscnp'
tion will decide the winner. WILL
THAT BE YOU? VIII you get the
