HUERTA DRAFTING WOMEN
IN THE MEXICAN ARMY
SCORES APPEAL TO FOREIGN DIPLOMATS FOR
PROTECTION AGAINST CONSCRIPTION.
HUERTA IS ON LAST LEGS
President Wilson's "Diplomatc Boycott Seems to
be Effective-Va Waiting to Engage
the Federals.

MEXICO CITY, Nov. 24.-Scores OF
Mexicans appealed to foreign diplo-
mats todays for protection against con-
scription into Huerta's army. A re-
markable feature of the case is that
most of the appeals came from women
whom the president is drafting into
service for cooks and nurses.
Congress is scheduled to meet this
afternoon to consider the legality of
the recent election. 1t seemed clear
today that President Wilson had sue
ceeded effectually in cutting off Pres
ident Huerta from outside sources Of
financial assistance. The financial
endorsements are pressing more Sc
verely daily.
Huerta VIII Fall.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.-President
Wilson is convinced that his "Diplom-
attic boycott" policy is beginning to
be seriously felt at Mexico City. The
administration attributed President
Huerta's circulation of reports that
the United States was about to rec
ognize him, to final desperate effort
toward re-establishing his credit suf-
fciently to float a loan for paying
his troops.
Entire confidence is expressed that
he will fail Summing up everything
today the administration regarded the
Mexican outlook as tolerably favor
able.
Rebels on the Move.
Ell PASO, Nov. 24.-With General |
Villas rebel forces of 5000 deployed
along 12 miles of front 25 miles south
Of here, and confronting an advancing
federal army estimated between 1000
and 10000, an air Of expectancy pre-
vailed at Juarez today.
A battle is expected before night.
General Villa is in personal command
of the rebel forces, practically his en-
tire force being withdrawn from Juar-
ez 1t is plain that Villa expected a
decisive engagement.
Late this afternoon fighting between
Villas rebels and the federals near
Chihuahua City seemed likely 1t now
seemed doubtful If any considerable
federal body was within rs miles of
here. General Villa insisted that un-
less he got in touch with the federals !
by Tuesday night that he would march 6
on Chihuahua City !

as short as would be consistant ir han

Jury Next Monday. as
The court announced today that he
would issue an order for the calling
of the trial jury for next Monday. Ac-
cording to the cases on the calendar
there appears to be at least two weeks
of jury cases. This morning the time
of the court was devoted to the read
ing of the calendar, the arraignment of
prisoners on the criminal docket and
the disposition of demurrers. County
Attorney Nesbit filed information in
nine criminal cases and stated several
more would be filed tomorrow. But
three of the defendants were in court
today when called for arraignment.
The court announced that defendants
out on bond should be in court at the
opening of the term and especially
where attorneys representing the de-
PENDANTS were living at Spokane. The
ocurt stated that if Spokane attorneys
expected courtesy from the court that
they should be on hand at least to an
swer for the disposal of their matters.
Charged With Serious Crime.
William Jones, charged with an in
famous crime against nature. was ar
raigned and pleaded not guilty. The
court said that in this case he would |
prefer trying it toward the latter part
of the jury term, declaring he did |
lot wish to cause the jury panel to start
off with bad taste in their mouths"

fWoodson of Flat Lick, wfs
Selected County Cbaifinan.
Both factions are claiming a
Victory and harmony prevails
again in their tanks.
Last Saty;tay was the day Sc
.lected to name delegates at the
different voting precincts in the
county to attend the county
convention here Monday, and
the delegates elected Saturday
had not made their views known
sufficiently that either side
knew before the convention just
how the vote would stand.
DIR. Z. B. Dishman and Frank
Hawn of this city headed one
faction aud are known as Stan
ley men while James Tuggle
was recognized as one of the
leading Beck ham men and Bit
terly opposed them. The Dish
man men made their fight upon
he fact that DIR. Dishman was an
applicant for the appointment
for the position of Internal Rev.
enue Collector under the Demo-
cratic National administration
and said little bout his man
Stanley, while the Beckham
mencame out solidly for the ex-
governor and made this their
main issue. This was the way
the matter stood prior to the
convention and was one of the
reasons why it was uncertain.
At the convention the Beck
ham men put mp DR.. Crit Jones
for their can lidate for Chairman
and the Dishman crowd put up
W. S. Woodson to oppose him.
The ritter was elected and as
sum- charge of the meeting.
Both sides arr low claiming
the vic DRY aud seem to be we'll
contented with the way matters
have shaped themselves. The
Beckham men CAIN that they
were not opposed to DIR. Dish.
man as being chosen as Collect
or OF Internal Revenue but that
they were strongly opposed to
Mr.. Hawn, who il was at first in
tended by the Dishman men to
offer a County Chairman.
therefore, now that Mr.. Wood
son, Beckhan man, is elected
County Chairman. they are sat.
isfied, while there seems to be
no worry upon the part of the
Dishman crowd from the fact
that they themselves put up and
elected their own chairman.
From the position of an on
locker it appears that the scrap
is not nearly over vet and when
the time comes for a choice for
U. S Senator there is every in
dication that another war will
be on.

cross street a few minutes later, and
in order to avoid a collision it was
necessary for Delaney to make a
sudden swerve. He was a good driver

ME- Part Two

When Miss Allen came from the
house again Rev. Arthur Mont
gomery Simms-Sinclair, Mr.. Jabez
McAdam and Mr.. Delaney were lined
up at the rear of the automobile, each
determined to help her into it. The
situation might have been embarras-
sing if Mr.. Jones had not happened to
accompany her down the steps. AS it
was, she permitted him to assist her
to a seat; but another difficulty i'm
mediately presented itself. Only one
of the men could sit in the tonneau
with the lady. Mr.. Delaney heartily
wished that both Jahez McAdam and
Rev Arthur Montgomery Simms-
Sinclair might at that moment have
been in Baton Rouge or Ispahan. 1t
is perhaps needless to explain how
the matter ended Time was when
the church could dictate. but we live
in the age of business. Mr.. McAdam
had in his commercial training &C
quired the habit of acting quickly,
and he scrambled into. the coveted
seat without giving ministerial dig
nifty a chance to assert itself.
Rev Arthur Montgomery Simms-
Sinclair looked at his watch
and. seeing that it was ten minutes
after five, begged Delaney to put on
his high speed.

Allen and Delaney went in to deliver
a bundle. While they stood in the
hall waiting for the good woman's
lame son-who had lost an over
whelRling majority Of his toes flip

kitchen, the gentleman wiped some
grease from his knuckles and glanced
anxiously around, saying.

what l have been longing ever since

He was interrupted by Mr., Simms-
Sinclair, who rushed in to say that
he considered it his duty to leave a
spiritual message with the provisions.
After him came Jabez McAdam, who
had just remembered that Mrs. Stur-
gis might be in need OF ready money,
and he begged that lady, as she came
forward with expressions of gratitude
and five more of her children, to ac-
cept a bill which he put into her
hand.

widow replied. But he bore up

it now, but force OF habit is strong.

light of the automobile, the law has

Ursula, with something between a
SILVER and a shrug, began picking up
the packages at her feet.
Never mind about them" said
Jabez ''I'll get cab in a minute"
"Well take the street car, if you
please said Miss Allen. If her voice
was as cold as that, no wonder she
shivered. She seemed to try to thaw
it out little as she went on. "They
run right near Miss Biggs house-and
there's one coming now. Oh, no, these
hings aren't heavy. I'm leaving the

The car was slowing down for them.

Jabez looked remorsefully after him
and uncertainty at Miss Allen. She
! looked serenely out of the opposite
window of the car
You certainly can't be evading the
| clutches of the law" said Miss AL

| in her eyes and the corners of her
mouth ,twitched, but McAdam saw
nothing of all that, and his look and
| attitude showed that he was feeling
far from comfortable.
Why, it's nothing" said Jabez "a
