INSANE DANCING THE TANGO
Latest Craze of Society May Be Cure
for Demented In Hospitals
of Country.

Sacramento, CAL. Nov. 1.-THE rag
dance which has become a craze in
society is becoming a craze in all the
madhouses of the state.
State Superintendent of Asylums
DR.. F. w. Hatch says there is no rea,
son why the patients should not dance
the tango.
Dancing is considered by alienists
to have a calming effect on the pa
tients and to assist progress toward a
cure. The effect Of the rags and tan.
goes is being closely watched for the
enlivening strains of the music and
the swinging steps of the dances may
hold the means Of quickening the cure
Of many of the patients.

LATEST STATEMENT DESTROYS
HOPE OF AMICABLE
ADJUSTMENT.

Juarez Falls Into Hands of Rebels
After Clever Ruse of
Crafty Generals.

Nogales, Sonora, Nov. 1S.-As soon,
as the pending negotiations with
Washington are complete, General
C~arranza, it is announced, will pro-
ceed south into Sinalola to ~reorganiZe-
the civil government OF the state. Or
ders were issued to open the customs
house at Juarez, the border city just
captured, and minor ports of entry on
the Chihuahua, Texas and New Mex
leo line, all of which are held by the
constitutionalists.
Mexico City, Nov. 17.-"In view OF
Venustiano Carranza's reputation of
any form of mediation by DR. alliance
with the United States, Provisional
President Huerta can do no less than
join him in his expression of patriotic
sentiment and maintain unaltered his
dignified attitude toward Washing
ton" This statement was made at
the national palace, and it casts ex-
IRENE doubt on any renewal of nego-
t~iations between Mexico and the Unit
ed States. 1t tends to substantiate the
belief that no hope is left of al annie
able adjustment.
Juarez Falls to Rebels.
Ell Paso, Texas.-Ciudad Juarez, the
most important northern port of entry
in Mexico, was captured by constitu-
tionalists under General Pancho Villa
and General Maclevio Herrera with
small loss on either side.
The occupation of JuareZ by rebels
began Saturday after the men under
Villa and Herrera had reached the
town in trains thought to be carrying
federal soldiers to the garrison.
Ruse Works Well.
The rebels detrained undiscovered,
placed their artillery and had every
thing in readiness to battle before the
word was given to fire on the federal
garrison. At the first volley the
astounded government troops were as
sembled and returned the fire, engag-
ing in battle which lasted for two
hours.
British Not Warned to Leave.
Mexico City, Nov. 1.-THE British
minister, Sir Lionel Garden, explained
that his instructions to British resi-.
dents in Mexico were not in the ma
ture of an order to leave their places
of residence, excepting in the case Oh
those located in more inaccessible
towns, but simply a precautionary
measure, intended to prepare them in
event circumstances should demand
their removal. The French minister,
Paul Lefaivre, said he had no inten,
ton of leaving the canital at this
time.
FederaIs Executed at Jaurez.
Ell Paso, Tex, Nov. 1.-TWO former
federal officials of JuareZ, who were

Marquette, Mich, Nov. 15.-There
is great apprehension here that the
six hundred foot steel freighter, Henry
3. Smith, of Cleveland, may be added
to the list of vessels which met dis
aster in the gale that swept the Great
Lakes.
Had Crew of Forty.
There is fear that the Smith found.
cred in Lake Superior with her crew
of probably forty men.
She was commanded by Captain
James Owen.
With seas washing over the break
water, the Smith loaded with II, 900
tons Of iron ore, left Marquette short
ly before six o'clock Sunday morning.
That night and Monday morning the
storm ragged with exceptional violence.
No Word Has Come.
since she left the shelter of this har-
Dor four days ago.
Marine men here have little doubt
that the vessel was lost with all hands.
Wreckage washed ashore here has not
been identified, but is believed by
Captain Cleary of the life saving crew
to be from the Waldo, wrecked on
Manitou Island last Friday.
Total Of Disasters Increases.
Port Huron, Mich.-Each hour adds
to the total of disasters on Lake HUI
ron during last Sundays storm and
the end is not in sight. Bodies Of
sailors of five and perhaps six vessels
were found on the shore of the lake;
wreckage from two other boats was
cast up by the waves and no trace
had been found of two vessels or their
crews, totalling more than forty men.
Never in the history of Michigan's
maritime existence has Lake Huron
been the scene of such a succession of
catastrophes.
Most Conservative Estimates.
Conservative estimates of the loss
of life fix the loss at $50 at least, the
damage to vessels and cargoes will be
several millions of dollars.
Lying in morgues along the Cana
dian shore are bodies of sailors on the
steamer James C%arruthers, Regina,
John A. Mclean, Wexford and Charles
S. Price. 1t is practically certain
those vessels went down with all on
board. There are also a number of
bodies unidentified. Perhaps these
were the sailors on the unidentified
freighter which lies bottom side up
in Lake Huron, 13 miles north of here.
Many think she is the Regina: others
still cling to the theory that she COL
lided with the Regina and the latter
sank. Wreckage of the steamers Ar
gus and Hydrus has been cast ashore.
Neither of these boats has been heard
from since the storm swept the lakes.
The freighter Isaac M. Scott also is
missing. None OF its wreckage has
been washed ashore.
Word was received from Captain
Ely of the Tug Sarbia City that he
had sighted the wreck OF an unidenti-
fed steamer while passing Port Aus
tin. She is belived to be a total loss.
She may be one of the boats already
reported missing.
Fog and a heavy sea prevented
searchers from making a fourth at
tempt to learn the name of the over
turned freighter, which. tossing help
lessly. has become a serious menace
to navigation.

Meriden, July S.-The entire plant of the c. I. Yale Manufacturing com pany, comprising six buildings, in- c1uding full stock room and factory, was burned to the ground last night.
