fnaction of yesterday and last night
has dove much to lessen his prestige
in Washington, whereas previously
Washington loked upon him hope
fully. believing that he was strong
enough to carry his stroke of Sun
day to q successful finish and bring
order out of chaos In Mexico. 1t is
now believed that he is y victim OF
the same spirit of temporfzing and
diiatoriousness which has kept the
federal forces from suppressing the
numerous insurrections during the
last year.
Military men here today were not
slow to point out that every hour Diaz
delayed would haveFa weakening ef
feet upon his movement against the
Madero government They pointed
out that Diaz has his opportunity 20
prevent further bloodshed in Mexico
by striking so hard and fast on Sun
day and Monday that the entire coun-
try would have been startled into re-
spect for him. In view of the ten
dency OF the Latin-American TO
choose the winning side, it In believed
Diaz' S. delays have cost him. the sup
port OF many. who would have been
enthusiastically for him had he fol-
lowed up his initial success with
energy. 1t was recalled today Diaz
pursued just such a course when he
took Vera Cruz.

SOU7HSIDE
GLAD T|D|NGS FOR
FOUNTAIN FRIENDS

Citizens Of the Southside who are
in the habit of stopping by the foun-
tain at Hull street and Cowardin ave-
nue. and the great Petersburg turn
pike, must feel good when they learn
that the administrative board yester-
day ordered the city engineer to
place the fountain in fine condition
and pave the approaches
This fountain has quenched the
thirst of thousands OF weary folks as
well as many heads of cattle. horses,
and innumerable birds and dogs.
1t lis a fountain which has added
to the aspirations of many people
and many animals. But In past
effort to get to the fountain. Broken
paving. bursting pipes, mud and dust
have kept people and animals away
from the fountain.
The eagle eye of Councilman
Moore, of the street committee, saw
the situation. He also saw the mem
bers of the administrative board, and
yesterday that board told those who
have the matter In hand to go at
once and fix the fountain. They will
go at once.
May Consolidate.
There Is some talk OF consolidating
the three public schools in the Man
chester district-Mann, Martin and
Moore. Superintendent Owens Is en-
thusiastic about the proposition, and
1t is hoped that his plans may pull
through. The only objection may be
that with a consolidation the pupils
at the other schools may be too far
away to attend the consolidated
school. and that u.s. whist Euperinten-
dent Owens is trying to overcome.
