II is TO be sincerely hoped that no con-
tingency Will occur which will make 1t
necessary or desirable TO take any stren-
uous action along the Mexican border,
but so long as a possibility OF 1t exists
1t might be prudent to have the Presi-
dent clothed with authority to act at
his discretion, without waiting for the
assembling OF Congress and the some
times slow processes of debate. The whole
course OF this administration during
these protracted Mexican troubles has
been so admirable, both in IT'S vigor and
in its reserve. that there should be no
hesitancy in granting 1t the needed
power. though IL is easily conceivable
that the President would accept such
responsibility with reluctance

MACON Ca, July 31.-That Judge
Emery Speer, of the United States
district court will be compelled to de-
fend his action in declaring former
Mayor Colonel w. A. Huff, of this city
in contempt of court for writing him
a letter assailing his record on the
bench seemed certain today. In his
letter Colonel Huff bluntly told Judge
Speer that he intended bringing
charges against him in the hope that
the house of representatives, would
predicate impeachment proceedings
thereon.
AS soon as Speer received 1t he
called off trip he was about to
make to Nova Scotia and sent a bailiff
to place Colonel Huff under arrest for
contempt of court. The two men had
a. stormy session in the judges cham
bers after which Speer ordered Fluff
to appear before him today to purge
himself of contempt Colonel Huff in
sisted today that he will not recede
from his position, but that he will
bring his charges to the attention of
congress. He declares that his estate
of $150,000 has been in Judge Speer's
court for thirteen years in bank
ruptcy proceeding and that the judge
had been derelict in his duty in fair
ing to settle it.

MADISON, Wis, July 31.-That the

two leading speakers at the session
of the newspaper conference.
w. H. Ellis, of Gray's Lake, Ill,
editor of the Searchlight, who took
the place of Samuel Strauss of the
New York Times or the program
opened the meeting with the citation
of number of clippings taken at
random from various newspapers OF
the country in which he showed that
while stories in newspapers were of

we're frequently arranged so that the
reader was led to the wrong conclu-
sion. He declared that there ought
to be a law governing newspapers
which contaminate the public mind,
lust as there is law which prohibits
the pollution of public stream.
r. S. Richards, editor of the Bos-

amples of cases where the readers

forces have driven General Blanco
and his federal army of 1900 from
Ojitos into the mountains of Sonora
after a desperate battle which lasted
two days. This was the word which
reached here today.
For nearly a week the rebels had
been concentrating their forces at

colonists.
The battle was severe one, with
the issue in doubt until the last hour
when the federals finally broke for
the mountains, leaving many dead in
the narrow pass at Ojitos. Rebel
losses also were heavy, but rebel lead,

the number killed.

MARRIED EIGHTH DAY
AFTER SECURING DIVORCE

oring to straighten out their marriage
tangle.
The Wyoming statute provides that
no divorced person shall be married
again within the state until one year
after his or her divorce has been
granted. Walsh secured his license
Saturday. The county clerk says
Walsh swore to his answers of the
usual questions and his bride also.
But on hearing that the ceremony had
taken place only eight days alter the
brides divorce he refused to certify
the marriage license or to turn It in.
The county attorney has ruled that
marriage performed in less than a

The bride was prominent in society
