MEXICANS ARE
IN FAVOR OF
INTERVENTION
HAVE ENOUGH OF FIGHTING
Would Welcome Uncle Sam
as APbiteF

Mexico City, Feb. 14,-Fiye days
of fighting in the streets of the Mex
ican capital has, in the opinion Of
closed observers, done more to change
the sentiment of Mexicans in rega~d
to Intervention than has the entire two
years period of revolution.
Months ago a quiet feeling began
to develop among a few of the bette
class of Mexicans in favor of outside
assistance, but found no public ex-
preston at that time, This sentiment
has grown steadily, however and the
events of the past few days have
strengthened it tremendously. The
subject is now frankly discussed by
Mexicans and foreigners, and fire.
quently it is a Mexican citizen who
expresses the opinion publicly, that
the United States or some other pow
er, or powers, jointly should inter
vene.
In the Colonia Juarez last night a
gathering Of Mexican women of the
better class made NO secret of their
desire for Intervention. Their formal
statement of their feelings was as fol-
lows
We are praying for the end of our
country's troubles, even through in
tervention."
Conditions Grow Worse.
Conditions generally in the capital
are steadily growing worse. All bust
ness. public and private, except that
connected with the war, has ceased
Even the general postoffice has clos
ed its doors and many of its employees
are carrying rifles in the ranks of the
federal army.
The city was in almost total dark
ness through the night, owing to he
cutting Of the electric cables by flying
shells. Today provisions of all. kinds
were more scarce than ever and prices
scared to unheard of heights. Robber-
les. burglaries and petty crimes of
all kinds are on the increase, owing to
the lack of police protection and illum-
ination.
The disposition of garbage has be-
come a serious problem, and the
changing breezes bring home to the
people that the carcasses of hundreds
of horses killed during the street
fighting Of the past week, still lie IN
the cutters.

Eldora, March 10.-The coroner's

acting as coroner, in that officials alb

verdict in regard to tins NJ. & st. L.
wreck at Steamboat Ro..k:
The said jury on th.'r oaths do say
that the said Earl Yenter and James
Donaldson came to their death by
reason of a rear-end collision at Steam
boat Rock on March 4, 1918, on the
Minneapolis & st. Louis, between extra
No. 433 and No. "a. In our judgment
the train crew of extra No. 433 was
negligent in leaving their train on the
main line when they knew that train
"a was following close behind. The
fagman of extra 433 should have gone
back farther up the track so as to
condition Of the grade and curve COM
Ing into Steamboat Rock. the fagman
was not far enough back from his train
to protect it from the train following.
The railroad is negligent in not elm
mating grades and sharp curves on
their line coming into Steamboat Rock.
I'VE believe that Brown did all in his
power to stop his train as soon as he
saw the fiagman, but on account of the
heavy descending grade and the short
distance he was from extra 433 and on
account of having used his air immedi-
ately before, he was unable to stop in
time to avoid the accident

OF more than a thousand trials OF
which the station has record, only IL
per cent were failures. These were
mostly due to improper cultivation
methods. The average acre OF alfalfa
in Iowa in 1909 and 1910 yielded nearly
three times as much feed value as the
average acre of red clover and many
men declared that 1t was as easy. If not
easier to get u stand OF alfalfa than

From murder in the first degree to

an acquittal. The jury was out from

so, in an attempt to arrest. and to pro-

1t was reported that one Of the jurors
had expressed an opinion as to the
prisoners right to kill Alberhasky, dur

This was disproved. 1t was true, how
