MEXICO CITY. Nov. 30.-By mail
10 Tampa. FLA real reign of ter.
ror best describes conditions tcday
prevailing throughout Mexico and es-
pecially in the capital. With his H.
dian training, General Huerta is tlk-
ing what he wants where he finds /.
and declares that he will hold on In
definitely. The present state of af-
fairs is veritable Indian question,
not one of diplomacy, so far as the
dictator is concerned. The p pSon wom-
EN- Of the capital are in constant fe,r
Of Huerta's press gangs. Scores of
women have been pressed into mill
tary service as camp cooks, nur7e3
and gatherers of fuel and provisions.
Mexico City, once the scene of gay
nights Of revslry, is now Ike de-
serted village nightly after min ?
o'clock, the poems locking themselves
in their houses to avoid seizure. For
four weeks Huarta kept the saloons
closed on Sunday. Then he caused
them to open unexpectedly last Sun
day and 1900 poems were trapped IN
them and held prison srs until they
could be put into uniforms and cal'ei
soldiers.
The poems are not the only Mexi-
cans feeling the mailed fist of Hue-ta
which is more calling than the iron
| hand Of Porfirio Diaz ever was. Prr m
! iient citizens drop from sight fre-
ouently. Their possessions find their
way into the government strong box.
Almost every citizen now carries an
Identification card. hoping thus to es-
cape the press gangs.
Press cablegrams are rigidly cen
/ sored and code dispatches especially
scrlitinized. Huerta keeps censors on
all of the local newspaper offices
They not only cut out news but put
things in at Huerta's instigation.
In the country districts it is impos
sible to tell what outrages are being
committed. A rumor has reached
here that hundreds of men, won sr
and children were killed with machine
guns in Morelos, not because they
had done anything, but to impress the
Indians with Huerta's military power

MAN THREW BABY
 INTO A BAYOU
Women Who Witnessed Crime Called the Police and Much Excitement
 Was Created.

Memphis, Tenn, July 23.A posse or police, detectives and citizens late "Wednesday searched for an unident- fled white man, about 21 years old, who threw a white baby into the BaYou Gayoso in the northern part of the city at , o'clock. The act was seen by half a dozen women who mo- tiiiod Central Police hcadquarters Motorcycle aAd ward patrolmen. an automobile load of officers and plain clothes men were rushed to the scene. The baby made a pathetic, but vain fight for it's life, witnesses say. The turbulent waters of the city's dumping stream soon dragged it under despite the kick of its little legs and chubby arms.
 The baby's form was last seen un- der the bridge over Winchester ave nuc, a block or so away from where the crime was committed. The man ran from the scene, dropping a piece of wrapping paper with which he had approached the Sceac with the baby hidden in it's folds.

MORE OBSTACLES
 IN B|G STRIKE
 --- Refusal of Road to Give Elm ployes Grievances Prefer ence the Cause.
BOTH SIDES ARE FIRM
Managers Insist on Abolition of Monthly Ganarantee.-Train-
 men Meet Today.

New York, July 23.-Obstacles have again gathered in the arbitration o1 the threatened strike of S2,o00 east ern railroad workers
 The federal board of mediators had hoped the air had been cleared by the sudden concession of the Erie Rail road officials to accept any award un- der the Newlands act. But it proved to be a matter for further contention, as the Erie road asked the men to de- fer the date when the advance in wages is to go into effect until Jan uary 1, 1915. The men ask that it go into effect at least by the opening of the coming year.
 At the afternoon meeting today with the railroad managers another snag was struck when the managers refused to accede to the trainmens' demand that they drop the eight griev- ances made by the railroads against the employees themselves. They agreed to drop some, but obstinately refuse to eliminate them. The trainmen just as insistently refuse to arbitrate these grievances of the employers until aft CT their own are settled, as they claim their own have preference.
 It is understood the managers in- sist on the abolition of monthly guarantee and demand the trainmen given full mileage and hours, of ser vice paid for whenever minimum days wages is paid. Another of their contentious is for twenty per cent reduction of wages in cases where ex- tra crews are required, but it is un- derstood this has been dropped.
 A meeting of the trainmen will probably be called tomorrow to learn whether they would give in to this fresh demand of the employers and it is also certain that they will not budge from their former position, ar bitration promises to hang fire for some time yet.

Democrats Disapprove of Selection of w. H. Martin
 By Them.
NOT LOYAL DEMOCRAT
Reported Here That MT. Martin Sup ported Bull Moose for
 GOvernOrship.

Press dispatches from Washington yester lay stated that Senators James ?. Ga. ke end Senator Joe T. ?.1in- son had agreed on William +. Mar. tin, well known Hot Springs law yer, for appointment to the district attorneyship of Eastern Arkansas.
 This information has created mucn interest in Pine Bluff among Demo- crats, who were anxious to hear os the selection of Attorney N. J. Can't, Jr, of this city, who was said to be the choice of Attorney General Me- Reynolds for the place.
 It is reported here and on author ity that cannot be doubted that MT. Martin declined to support Judge Hays the Democratic nominee for governor, in the recent state election, and that he was openly urging the se- lection of Colonel Murphy, the Bull Moose candidate for that office.
 When it became known that the senators had agreed on MT. Martin friends of MT. Can't and Democrats who cannot figue out how the Big Two at Washington could pick MT Martin for the place, began to gel busy. Many telegrams were sent to Senators Robinson and Clarke last night, urging them to recall theil selection. The special from Wash ington did not say that the name ol MT. Martin had been sent to Presi. dent Wilson and, of course, he has not yet been confirmed by the Sen ate. Efforts will be made to have Mir. Can't recommended by the sena tors, despite the recent agreement.
 MT. Can't is not an applicant fol the place. His friends have beer urging his appointment and they be came active when it was learned here that Attorney General MacRey holds, at Washington, was personal, anxious to have MT. Can't get th' place. MT. Can't was formerly a pu pil of Mir. MacReynolds, when the lat ter was a member of the faculty o the Vanderbilt University at Nash vile.
 MT. Can't, in addition to being a, excellent gentleman and a most cap able lawyer, is a loyal Democrat.

 The scattering returns from all the counties in the state at midnight shows that Judge Hays received more than twice as many votes as all of his three opponents together. His vote is shown by the incomplete re- turns to be more than 45,000, while the combined vote received by Harry Myers, George w. Murphy and Emil Webber totals little more than 14,- GOO votes.

Little Rock, July 23.-Scatterilg returns from nearly every county in Arkansas tonight, indicate the elec- ton of Judge George w.

 This was done to some extent is indicated by the fact that vote not exceeding sixty per cent of the total vote was boiled throughout the state. Brundidge will receive several hund- red votes.

Robert Galbraith Saves the Life of Young Lady in
 Elk River.
MEN GAVE UP FIGHT
Miss Slaten Was Being Carried Down Third Time in Dangerous
 'Suck HOle."

Robert Galbraith. 14year-old son of Mr. and Mrs., Oliver Galbraith, of this city. who is employed as a carrier boy by the Graphic recently distinguished himself at Sulphur Springs, Benton county, in saving the life of Miss Slaten, a prominent young lady of that place, who was drowning in Elk riy- CT. where she and a party of friends. including the little hero were in bath ing.
 The Pine Bluff lad dragged Miss Slaten, who is but seventeen and re- cent graduate of the Sulphur Springs High School, from what would have been watery grave, after her father and his father. Ollie Galbraith, were nearly dragged down with her and had to fight their way back to the shore to keep from being drowned.
 Oliver Galbraith and his family are spending the sumer at Sulphur Springs. Little Robert is an expert
 
 being a boy who thinks quickly and never loses his head When Miss Slaten was swimming some distance from the bank in Elk river she was caught in a suck hole and, although she is considered fine swimmer, found it difficult to get back from the treacherous whirlpool Finally, real izing that he himself was domed. hs | fought her off and called to her fath- CT. who was also enjoying plunge | nearby. Mir. Slaten joined him and to- gether they tried to rescue his daugh- ter. They had both to give up their res- cue work for fear of their own safety | and little Robert, attracted by the | desperate battle in the swirling wat l CT, dove into the river and swan to l where Miss Slaten was sinking a third time. He grabbed her by the feet, after swimming underneath the surface of the water, and pulled her from the whirlpool. Having gotten her from the danger point, little Robert threw his left arm around her waist and was not long in bringing her safely to the bank, where she had to be revived. It was thought for a time that life was extinct, but friends and relatives worked with her success fully and finally brought her to. Little Robert took his heroic act as a matter of every day occurance. Those who saw the act of bravery declare it should get him a Carnegie medal and already a movement has been started by relatives and friends of the young lady at Sulphur Springs to that end.
 A few days before this incident Robert was playing on the river bank with some boys. He stepped into a hornets nest and in an. instant several hundred stinging insects were upon him. Quick as a flash Little | Robert ran to the edge of the river bank and jumped head first into the stream. This was another incident to prove the cool head of the youngster

LIGHT VOTE IS ROLLED
Democratic Nominee Will Recei, q More Than q Thousand Ma
 iority in County.

The lightest vote ever boiled in a state election was cast ia Pine Bluff 1 and Jefferson county yesterday. Ow- ing to the lack of interest in the bal loting, 1t was impossible last night to get the returns from thirteen town ships in the country districts, but the Graphic managed to get the total vote ia all of the wards of this city and nine of the larger townships in the county.
 From the returns Judge Hays has swept the county by handsome more than thousand votes to spare over all of his opponents in this county.
 The four city wards and nine town- ships give Judge Hays, Democrat, 925; Myers, Republican. S4; Murphy Bull Moose, 46, and Webbcr, So- cialst, 60.
 The voting was light throughout the country. In this city the few negroes who voted cast their votes for Judge Hays, while in several Of the townships the vote for Myers was larger than when compared with that cast in the city wards.
 District Attorney T. G. Parham was reelected without opposition, re- ceiviag in many of the wards and precincts the total vote cast. In some of the city wards all of the gu- bernatorial candidates were scratch ed but the "bolter sentiment" was anything but strong.
 Magistrates J. H. Mann and l.. k. Cheek were reelected without oppo- sition in Vaugine township.
 The vote as received last night by the Graphic from the four wards and nine townships follows:
 Dudley Lake-Hays, 21; Myers, 1; Murphy, 1; Webber, 0; Parham, 2l

REBELS MAKE GAINS
United States May Lift Ban of Neu. trality and Permit Carranza
 to Import Arms.

Washington, July 23.-It has come to this point with Mexico:
 Shall our government lift the ban of neutrality, permit Carranza and his revolutionists to import arms and ammunition across our border and let Carranza and Huerta fight it out on equal terms to the extermination of one or the other?
 This was the topic of private dis cussion at the White House today between President Wilson and Chair man Bacon, of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Chairman Flood, of the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
 It is the topic of more or less pub lie discussion in the senate and house. This is the meaning of the news dispatches over the repeal of the neutrality laws regarding Mexico. Heretofore Huerta, as the head of the defacto government, has had no set restrictions placed upon his govern ment. The plain intimatiOn of a powerful member of the Foreign Re lations Committee to the Internation- al News Service today is that for some weeks past this restriction had suddenly been put upon the Huerta government and in consequence the Huerta government has steadily wan ed.
 It is the belief here openly ex- pressed in the department relating to war and secretly at the Department of State and the administration, that the collapse of the Huerta regime will follow fast in consequence of this equality between the factions i1 Mexico. Whether this belief of the administration is also part of the definite policy is matter of keen speculation. .'':
 Carranza at least seems to have anticipated it. He has taken fresh heart from the American refusal un- der national and international pres. sure to recognize the Huerta govern. ment. The news comes straight that Governor Carranza with redoubled energy is now recognizing his forces for the formidable final cam paign. He plainly believes that oul government is either going to give him the right to buy arms and am intuition or is going to shut dowr on Huerta, which is almost as goot thing for the revolutionists.
