Official dispatches say every effort was
made during Saturday night to get for

that assurances had been sent to Wash

be protected bv the Government forces
whenever possible, but that the rebels
refuse to cooperate in offering pro-

No commercial (buslness) dispatches

That the Senate Committee on For.

a poll of that body. This poll shows
that Senators Cullom. Root. Borah.

against intervention.
Senators Smith of Michigan, Souther-

S. S. Fletcher. Rear Admiral n. r.
Usher is in command of the Virginia

that his assignment to this command
means that other vessels may. be or
dered to the lesser Mexican seaport.
These vessels may communicate with
Key West by wireless and through Key
West with Washington. The wireless
plants are entirely free from the danger
of Mexican censorship. which Is heing
imposed upon all Intelligence offered for
transmission by land lines from the
Mexican capital. 1t is also possible for
these vessels to communicate with the
army wireless station at San Antonio.
Thence, to a half dozen middle West
ern stations. messages can be relayed.
Consequently the battleships of the
east Mexican coast have several re-
sources for communication by wireless
should atmospheric or other difficulties
interfere with communication through
any particular station.

SEEK 10 PARTITION
 J. B. MOORE LANDS

A petition was filed in the Faulk ner chancery court today by Mrs. Delle A. Hines, Ed w. Moore, Mrs. Lila Raper and J. 0. Moore being named as defendants, praying an or der of court to partition about 400 acres of lands belonging to the estate of J. B. Moore, deceased. These lands were the subject of litigation in cir cult court, in a case where certain deeds were attacked by other heirs to the estate. The case was tried once, resulting in mistrial and when it came up for hearing at the following court the defendants conceded the contentious of the plaintiffs.
 In the present case the complaint alleges it has been found impossible to divide the lands between the four parties, and decree of partition is ordered. The complaint also asks for the appointment of receiver to take charge of all the lands during the pendency of the suit, in order that they may be rented during 1914.

Stratford, Conn, that on February q the
Rev. N. Ellsworth Cornwall, rector of
Christ Episcopal Church, had applied the

incidents. Was it not an unbroken trad1-

away with it," Besides, wasn't il an open
secret that Stearns' parents expected him

''Naomi-It would be hard to oyer-esti-

munity has recently suffered The sudden
departure of Naomi from our very midst
has created an aching void that cannot be
filled in a hurry.
Suffice it to say that Cupid has once
again succeeded in spanning one Of the
CULTS of society. The Eavesdropper
wishes the young couple godspeed, and
begs leave to quote for the benefit OF the

No longer will the pretty daughters of
New Haven, with an eye on freshmen of
the famous Gold Coast" seek positions in
the musical comedy chorus. The Prudent
Mothers will see to that! They will find
light and congenial employment at "Old

with freshmen, and will see that the but
ter cakes are well buttered, the ham and"
hot off the griddle the soup fragrant and
nourishing, and the cream in the coffee
skinned only on one side. They are
already doing it.
The romance of sweet Naomi was the
prompt reward of her perspicacity. She
would have graced any musical comedy
chorus that ever turned the heads of Yale
freshmen. But she was wise, and got a
lob at "Old Eli Lunch" 1t is true that,

You've broken all our hearts!
Butter Cake Chorus of Yale Freshmen.

pired. Never again will the ears of
susceptible Yale freshmen be
charmed by the dulcet tones of sweet
Naomi Campbell at "Old Eli Lunch" war
bling:
One dark! Fry two! Rush them there
butter cakesi"
When sweet Naomi eloped with George
Sullivan SteaTns, a freshman in the Shelf
field Scientific School at Yale, the shock
was hard to bear; but they bore up, say
ing to each other:
She'll be back on the job. Georges old
mans a millionaire. Business of proud
family spurning blushing bride-Charge of
-snatching-marriage annulled. 'Tis
ever thus-no chorus girl, no candy shop
girl, no butter cake-tosser, need apply.
Consult the newspaper files Oh, yes,
Naomi'll be back on the job-we should
worry and get an Indigestion"
Blasted hopes, alas! 1t was barely a
week ago that the news reached the Yale
campus and the New Haven Prudent Moth
ers' Club that the happy couple had been
received into the bosom of the opulent
Stearns family Sweet Naomi, erstwhile
lovely hustler of butter cakes at "Old Eli
Lunch" is mistress of a handsome man
sion in the smart set district of Capitol
Hill, in Denver, Colo. Far from feeding
butter cakes to Yale freshmen, she is now
serving afternoon tea to the elite of the
Rocky Mountain metropolis. And she has
a husband who is now solid factor in the
mattress manufacturing industry which, in
Cincinnati made a millionaire of his
father, Edwin r. Stearns, of that city.
In the Prudent Mothers Club, of New
Haven, this news, while it sCatters woe in
the ranks of Yale freshmen, is received
with ordinations of rapture. 1t justifes
the purpose of their organization. 1t prom
Uses opulent husbands for other daughters
of the Prudent Mothers. 1t demonstrates
the principle that, among Yale men as
we'll as among all other men:
"A mans affections are reached, re-
tanned and controlled through his stom-
ach. Don't rely on your beauty" say the
members of the New Haven Mothers Club
"but feed the bTutes. Venuses of the
chorus and Hebes of the candy shops have
won these Yale sons of rich fathers, but
they knew nothing about the important art

And when you gaze in her eyes divine,
Like them all you'll say:

fellows?
"Oh, gee, Naomi my lunch counter girl
P'raps it's your size, dear,
Praps it's your eyes, dear,
Sets my heart awhirl
Kiss me. Naomi.
Oh, hon, don't be mean!
Oh, you beautiful big blond baby,
Naomi, my restaurant queen"
In the meantime young Stearns was con.
centrating all his faculties on segregating
the lovely waitress at "Sigs,' if not as
waitress at least as a sweetheart, with the
purpose of making her his very own for
life. Too late his fellow freshmen we're

to his former employee:
She was a girl, take her for all IN ALL

Now you will understand the shock
verify, the paralyzing shock-of the news
Just received on the Yale campus from
Denver, that Naomi basks in the approval
of her husbands rich and powerful family;
that she is an established factor in the
social life of fashionable Capitol Hill; that
Yales musty tradition is shattered; and
that, to wit:
If you want a Yale husband-win him
by waiting.
To which the minutes OF the New Haven
Prudent Mothers Club add:
"A good waitress cannot fail to become
a capable cook No father of Yale man
is too rich to understand the advantages OF
having a capable cook in the family Ergo

George never put the soft pedal on his
enthusiasm for Naomi. He let it be known
from the start that he was lin to win"
Like an electrical wave his enthusiasm set
the whole freshman contingent afame.
Verify, George had his work cut out for
him.
Sweet Naomi" with a hundred verbal
variations, was on every freshman lip.
Songs were written about her. At least
one was published in regular sheet form,
entitled Naomi, My Restaurant Queen"
Here are the inspiring words:
Down in a restaurant not far away,
Where peaches bloom so sweet,
There's a little queen that has it on them
all,
Pretty and trim and petite.

true that even then the Yale boys sung her
charms and brought much trade to the
shop so graced by her presence
But soda water is not "flling;" college
boys have rayenous appetites and cannot
live by soft drinks alone. Accordingly,
sweet Naomi took counsel with her moth
er-that was before the Prudent Mothers
Club was organized-and took the step
that was TO make her mistress of that
Capitol Hill, Denver, mansion.
She applied to "Sig" Hartenstein, pro-
prietor of "Old Eli Lunch'-a favorite
Yale students eating place established by
his father more than sixty years ago-and
he lost not moment in engaging her serv-
ices. He had already heard of Naomi's
winning ways, and his wisdom was iden-
teal with that of the founders of the
Prudent Mothers Club.
