GIRL THIRD DEGREE VICTIM

ST. LOUIS, Nov 26.-Barbara Gladys
Arnold, who confessed that she set fire
to the Berlin hotel where four lives
were lost and who was released on
bond after her lawyers had declared
her innocent of the crime, repudiated
her confession in an interview at VAL
ley Park.
She said the confession was brought
about through the insistence of Chief
of Detectives Allender and by his dec
laration that the police had evidence
against her and that it would "go
easier" with her if she confessed. She
declares that the third degree methods
forced her to acknowledge crime of
which she was guiltless. I

MEMCo's REIGN OF TERROR
FAILS TO QUELL REBELLION

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 26.-Not les.,
than Is villages have been destroyed
days by government troops. The ad
ministration believes the rebels in that
vicinity have been cowed by the terri
BILE warfare that has been waged and
has ordered the retirement from that
state Of the greater part Of the fed
erals.
Five hundred Indians have surren
dered, but a large part of these were
without arms, affording some basis
for the unofficial declarations that lit
tie of real value had been accomplished
toward the subjugation of the rebels,
who it is feared by the residents OF
the city of Oaxaca will redouble their
efforts, with the added motive of re-
venge.
erals in all the districts infested by
zapatistas have been using the right
conferred by the suspension of the
guarantees to execute summarily, there
is little, if any, improvement in the
general situation. In no less than 40
engagements reported last week, the
federals claim victories, but these for
the most part have been insignificant
since the rebels ordinarily retire as
soon as possible, doubtless to save
ammunition.
Two circulars have been issued
signed by Zapata. One demands that
the owners Of haciendas unite to con-
tribute 5000 pesos a week to the rebel
urges planters to hurry the work of
poems on their plantations as much
as possible, because Zapata will soon
require all able bodied men. Destruc-
ton of their properties is the alterna-
tive offered.
Plans for Withdrawing a number of
federals from the north to join the
campaign against the rebels in the
south are maturing. Many volunteers
who enlisted to fight Orozco are being
mustered out, having served the stipu-
lated six months. EFFORTS are being
made to maintain the strength of the
army, however, and as a result many
prisoners are being draft d and rebels
! taken in battle are being forced into
the government ranks.
Fifty soldiers of the Twenty-fourth h
infantry joined the rebellion in the
! state of Mexico. They killed two cap
| tains and seized 1000 pesos which the
| officers were bearing to the brigade
paymaster.
The government is not inclined to
regard the movements in Northern
| Mexico seriously. It insists that the
situation throughout the republic IS
| much improved.

LOSES CARNEGIE PENSION
FOR THE SAKE OF LOVE:

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-The fac,
her claim to the pension provided for
ex-presidents and wives of ex-presi-
dents when she marries Prof. Thomas
!. Preston has increased the resent
rlent that is noticeable in the com
lnent upon the proposition to pay such
a pension from private funds. 1t
seems quite certain that congress will
act speedily to make provision that ex-
presidents and their wives will be allie
in the future to keep the wolf from
the door even under the most unfor-
tunate circumstances
Mrs. Cleveland, who IS 4S years old,
has been drawing no pension from
the government. Her only prerogative
has been the privilege of using a frank
for her mail. However, she has a
snug income from the modest fortune
his latter days. When not abroad she
has lived quietly at Princeton, and
has devoted herself almost entirely to
the education of her daughter, Esther,
who made her society debut last week.
Some time she has given to her trus-
teeship of Wells College, of which she
is a graduate.

GRANTED HIGHER WAGES

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-Thirty
thousand locomotive engineers on So
eastern railroads gain a partial victory
in their demand for more wages, un-
der the award announced by the board

The board holds that the public,
which had no voice in the controversy,
had more at stake than the engineers
or railroads, and emphasizes the ne
cessity of plans to safeguard the pub
lie against the possibility of future
strike.
1T would be difficult to exaggerate e
the seriousness of such a calamity"

as to render the former paramount.
