COLLEGE Men IN NAVY
Lowell of Harvard Would Make Them
Naval Reserve.

Boston, Feb. 10.-A plan to have
college students train on United States
warships so as to fit them for naval
service in time of war is advocated by
President Lawrence Lowell of Harvard
university. In speaking of the subject
today, President Lowell said he favor
ed having students go aboard battle
ships or training ships during the
summer months and learn some of the
principles of naval warfare, so that
the college men could be called upon
as reserves in case of national danger.
President Lowefl's suggestion, it was
announced, would be discussed at a
mass meeting of Harvard students to-
night, at which Professor I. n. Hollis
of Harvard and Captain c. G. Marsh,
U. S. N, would explain President Low
ellis plan in more detail.

New York Stock Market.

Wall St., Yew York, Feb. 10.-STOCKS-
Some selling by the trading element on
the stock market was induced today by
the outbreak of the Mexican revolution
despite favorable factors such as the gov
ernmentS approval of the hartman dis
solution and represents that steps were
being taken to reopen the Balkan peace
negotiations. Foreign markets were de
pressed and the lower opening here was
credited to a reawakening of bearish &C
tivity in the shares most affected by the
NJ exican revolt. Stocks of railroads and
industrial properties operating in Mexico
gave way abruptly in spots. Strained re-
lations between the eastern roads and
their firemen and the depletion of bank
reserves also furnished ammunition Tor
the bears.
Bonds were easier.
Prices were generally lower at the STOCK
market opening today. Selling converged
on Southern Pacific in the which the in
itial transaction was $500 shares at 1885 to
1O312, a maximum decline of point. The
price of 1881 equals the low point touched
in Z cember, which was the bottom fig
ure since 1910. Declines were generally
fractfonally with the exception of Cana

London, Feb. 10-The story of the

the kings bench through the testimony
of her captain. On a voyage from Ire

SPENT sLEEPLEss NIGHT.
Residents of Mexican Capital in State
of Uncertainty.

l6eSfucnIS Oh mexican S9DlIdl IN STATE
of Uncertainty.
Mexico City, Feb. 10.-Uncertainty as
to what developments would follow the
revolt of the army by which General
Felix Diaz, practically captured the
Mexican capital yesterday, prevailed in
Mexico City today. The residents of
the city spent a quiet but sleepless
night, expecting to see more fighting
in the streets today. In yesterdays
revolt more than 200 persons were
killed.
The populacc did not know early to-
day whether President Madero had fled
from the capital With a following of
loyal troops said to number 900 he
took refuge in the national palace yes
terday but it was reported at daybreak
that under cover of night he had fled
toward the eastern coast, taking his
family with him. 1t was also reported
that all of the members of his cabinet
had resigned. The report of his flight
was given credence, although it was
without confirmat ton.
His decision to flee the capital it was
said in the report that he had fled was
due to General Blanquet's refusal to
stand by him. General Banquet ar
rived last night with a small portion
of his forces, supposedly loyal to Ma
dero, but he refused to fight against
General Felix Diaz. Since the arrival
of Blanquet's force the bridges between
the capital and Toluca have been
burned.
Madcro's Announced Program.
1t is recalled that during the Orozco
rebellion Madero stated what course he
would pursue if the national capital
was captured. He said he would never
surrender but in case Mexico City was
taken, he would remain in the govern
ment palace as long as possible and
then, with whoever remained loyal, he
would transfer the seat of government
to the hills in the south where he would
keep up the fight for constitutional
government The city apparently was
not convinced today that Madero

HENDRIX NOT SOLD.
Fred Clark Refuses $4,000 and -Four
Players for Him.

Pittsburg. Feb. 10.-Manager Nc
Graw of the New York Giants thinks
so well of Claude Hendrix, the Pirate
and $4,000 in cash for the pitcher,
who led the National league last sea-
son. The offer was made to Barney
DreyfuSS and was turned down.
This information leaked out today
at club headquarters when some one
asked if Hendricks contract had come
back. McGraw did not mention the
names of the men he intended turning
over to Pittsburg. He said with the
great staff of hurlers in the Pirate
camp he thought Dreyfuss might be
induced to part with one to get ma
terial to strengthen some other de-
partments.
The opinion was unanimous that
should Fred Clarke consent to the de-
parture of Hendrix, the Pittsburg fans
would raise fund to engage lunacy

IT SUITS WICKERSHAM
Plan for Dissolution of q. p. Merger
Is Approved.

Washington. Feb. 10.-Attorney
General Wickersham has announced
that he has reached an agreement
with the representative of the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific rail-
roads for the dissolution of the great
Hartman merger as decreed by the
supreme court.
The Union Pacific agrees to sell its
1,266,500 shares of Southern Pacific
stock to its own stockholders and
those of the Southern Pacific in what
the government regards as safe pro-
portion. The Union Pacific will ac-
quire the Central Pacific from the
Southern Pacific, giving it an extern
sion from Ogden to the Pacific coast
The plan is essentially the same as
that made public few days ago by
the two roads when they reached an
agreement satisfactory to themselves
dissolving the merger. The attorney
general in a public statement goes
into greater detail, however, and de-
clares that competition will supplant
monopoly under the agreed scheme
of separation. He gives it his unquali-
fed approval

Mexico Town.

Washburn College Glee club from To-
peka, Kan, arrived here Friday TWEEN
ty strong from Ration. The organiza-
ton gave a concert at Duncan's opera
house and made good with an audi
ence of over eight hundred people.
An interesting feature of the trip is
the train concerts given by the club.
The boys take possession of. the Pull
man cars in the train when requested
to do so and give half hour concerts.
This phase of the work of the organi-
Zation is of especial value as a me-
dunn of advertising for their college.
1t is generally agreed among Santa
Fe people that the Washburn GIee
club is one of the best attractions
booked by the Santa Fe for some time.
Nothing but warmest commentator is
heard regarding their work. They
have the college atmosphere and the
college ginger which is so refreshing
and enjoyable. Saturday night the
club appeared at Albuquerque.

WILL LEAVE TT TO WILSON.
Taft Will Try to Avoid Intervention in
Mexico.

Washington, Feb. 10.-President
Taft and the cabinet met today to
take up the Mexican situation. 1t was
discussed at special session of the
cabinet which was called originally to
consider a message to congress on the
budget system.
It was reported that there was to
be no Intervention in Mexico during
the remaining three weeks of Presi-
dent Taft's administration, but the
general staff and the staff of the army
had the Mexican mobilization plans
ready and the navy was in readiness
for any contingency. A few orders
would set in motion a highly organ
lied plan for joint use of the army
and navy for the protection of Ameri-
cans and American property in Next
CO. But it is pointed out that nothing
short of the most dire conditions could
force an American intervention at this
time
The Mexican uprising coming at the
climax of a general unrest throughout
Central America, which already has
caused the movement, of five United
States men of war to the Latin re-
pu blics, may cause the movement of
more ships at any moment as a pre-
cautionary measure to provide refuge
at all Mexican seaports for Americans
and other foreigners who want to get
out of the danger zone.

Numbering Women.

Ossining, N. Y, Feb. 1o.-Three
murdererS were put to death in the
electric chair at the Sing Sing prison
today. Two of them murdered wom-
en-. All three went to the chair with
firm steps, and each as he passed
from the cell house to the death
chamber called back a cheerful fare
well to those who remained awaiting
their end.
The first man to die was Joseph
Garfalo a huge Italian who Killed his
wife because she threatened to divorce
him. George Bishop, a negro, small
and frail, was the second to take the
chair. His crime was the murder of
a white woman, Mrs. Margaret Bell,
in Brooklyn. Donate Carndillo. the
last to die, was convicted of killing
Stephen H. Dickson, whose body was

VOTE FOR A STRIKE.
Ninety Per Cent of Railway Ffremen
in Favor of Going Out.

New York, Feb. 10.-The ballots
of the 10000 firemen employed on
fifty-four eastern railroads, it is an
nounced unofficially, show that nine
ty per cent of the men favor an i'm
mediate strike unless the conference
committee of railroad managers
agrees to arbitration under the Erd-
man act.
The result of the strike ballot will
be communicated to the managers
Tuesday, the demands of the firemen
will be reiterated and an offer made
to refer the differences to an arbitra-
ton committee under the Erdman act.
The railroad manag gers in a state
ment reiterated most positively their
objection to the Erdman act arbitra-
ton.

would not be able to return to the city
with enough troops to wrest from Diaz
and his mutfnous followers the power
which they seized yesterday. If Madero
remained in the national -alace here
or took refuge in the palace at Chapul-
tepec it was generally assumed that
the bombardment of these palaces
would follow. There was considerable
speculation today as to what action
congress might take. 1t was regarded
as probable that congress would de-
mand the resignation of the Madero
administration.
Night Was Quiet.
The silence of the night in the street
was almost grave-like despite the fact
that all of the regular police had been
removed and in their places patrolmen
in groups made rounds of the city at
long intervals. The only other night
activity was the occasional passing OF
a red cross automobile ambulance,
either moving a victim of yesterdays
revolt or taking up a position in readi-
ness for possible engagements in the
streets today
The United States embassy was
guarded during the night by a force OF
twenty Americans selected by General
Agramonte formerly of the United
States army, and commanded by r. NJ.
Boulet, a steamship traffic agent.
Others included in the guard were G.
w. Fish and w. F. Patton, traffic
agent respectively of the National rail-
way Reports regarding the advance
of the Zapatista rebels from the south
continued during the night 1t was re-
ported that Genevevo de La would ar
rive in the capital during the day to
join Diaz. There was also the more
alarming report that the troops In
Monterey had revolted headed by Gen.
Trevenio AS the telegraph line Is in
control of the government there is no
way of confirming this report.
