Cabin Cruiser Beverly S.,
Abandoned In the Gulf, is
Towed Into Port By Smack
Vessel is Supposed to Be
long to Port of Mobile
and Was Found Drifting
Far From Shore-Is a
Large Vessel and Well
Equipped.

A mystery Of the sea promises to
develop with the finding adrift in the
gulf Of the cabin cruiser Beverly s..
which is supposed to be owned by
Mobile parties, and which is registered
at that port. The abandoned vessel
was towed into this port late Friday
night by a Mobile fishing schooner
and the latter, after landing the
launch. proceeded back to sea and
went on her way to the fishing banks
The drifting launch was first sight
ed last Wednesday by a Pensacola
schooner, which took her In tow, but
owing to bad weather was compelled
day the Moaile schooner found the
launch, sighting her some miles away,
drifting along with the tide, with no
sign of life on board. A dory was put
out from the smack and the latter
took the Beverly S. in tow, putting
into Pensacola, the nearest port, and
leaving the launch.
The launch is now tied up at the
city wharves, while waterfront people
speculate as to the fate of the men
aboard, or whether the launch broke
her moorings and drifted out of some
harbor and into the gulf. Some are
Of the opinion that there was an ex-
pIosion aboard and say there are
slight evidences OF a fire.
The vessel viii be held here until
the owners call for her or the schooner
which found her adrift in the gulf
puts in a claim in the event no one
appears to claim her.
The Beverly S. is vessel somewhat
larger than the launch San Carlos,
and is well fitted out in every respect.

SUCH LEGISLATION
WILL BE LIMITED
Pronounced View is Crow

Call a Halt in Corporation

Country and Business to
Adjust Itself Under the
New Currency Laws.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Congressional
leaders who face the task of plotting
the antitrust legislation through this
session of congress are expected to
seek the presidents views this week.
A pronounced view is growing that the
antitrust acts at this session should
be few and affect only the more obvi-
ously needed reforms in combination
and corporate activity.
The leaders demands for speedy act
ion on the currency bill in the senate
have produced a marked effect. Predic-
tions are made the bill viii be passed
before December 20 and that the senate
and house differences will be adjusted
shortly after, The Republicans prom
ise noninterference.
General legislation held back dur
ing the special session, broke the bar
riers this week and floded every chan
mel of congressional activity. The
house has before it during the coming
week the Alaska railroad legislation.
naval holiday resolution, immigration
regulation, high cost living tnvestga-
many other matters of compelling in
terest.
The president in his message urged
the sherman law be unchanged and
that new laws simply supplement It.
Other senators want congress to call
country and business adjust itelf under
the new currency laws
The early bills probably will be aim
ed against interlocking directorateS,
holding companies, voting trusts, fiscal
agencies, strengthen the rigths of nil
nority stockholders and free the Sher-
man law from the effect of the su-
preme courts decision that reasonable
restraints Of trade are not unlawful
These bills are not radical enough for
some and it is expected an attempt
will be made soon to form an interstate
trade commission to thoroughly con-
troll big business. Numerous radical
bills will be introduced.

with savagery and rapine more atrocious than that which usually follows in the wake of war
 This inevitable scourge fell with particular heaVincss upon the in- habitants of the Balkans by reason of the commingling of races, the prevalence of religious intolerance and the long-felt hatred of the Turks and the troopers of the al lies for one another. Each had large score to pay and each ap- pears to have eXacted revenue wherever possible.
 But the conflict between the allies and the Turks was puny beside the of a general European war which it involved. One after another great European nations in- teersted in getting a foothold in Europe, or in prevent ing other European nations from at. taining this foothold were swept win rumors of war which upset the markets, caused the peasants to their savings and totaled the loss of millions through the of securities.
 Should such a conflict have been precipitated between Pan-German- ism and Pan-Slavism a danger that is- ever prevalent-the greatest clash of all history-would have been recorded for posterity.

MUST SHOW ABILITY
 TO UNITED STATES

Washington, Feb. lS.-With the government of President Francisco |. Madero fallen and General Vic toriano Huerta proclaimed presi- dent of Mexico, it devolves upon American Ambassador Wilson at once to treat with the defactO MeXi- can government for the protection of Americans throughout the re- public.
 Political recognition of the gov ernment which emerged tonight out of the travail through which MeXi- co has passed in the last two years, will be a slower proceeding. But with several Americans killed and many wounded from the bullets of the contending forces in Mexico City and thousands rendered home less because of the carnage which has resulted from the short range firing in the streets of the city, Mir. Wilson's first duty will be to treat with the new president for amello- ration of the conditions imposed upon Americans'aA fether foreign CTS, especially since 'theireNolutleR entered it's last stages.
 While this government will take no concern over the choice of a successor to President Madero, such a successor will have to demon strate his ability to maintain stable government before political recOg- hilton will be accorded him by the United States.

Resolutions of Respect.

In memory of Bro. J. w. Tow, who died January 9, 1913.
 Whereas, in obedience to the di- vine law of the All-Wise Master above our dear brother, J. w. Tow, has been transferred from the earth plane of life to higher spheres and thereby we have lost one of our number, at least for the present. Therefore be it
 Resolved, that we submit with reverence, and remember that our loss is his gain; and each of us be reminded by the removal from our midst of our beloved brother Tow of the importance of living up to the true principles of Masonry; and that we each make special eff fort to live correct lives, so that we may be fully prepared to answer the call when we are to lay aside mortality and put on immortality. Be it
 Resolved. that we extend our deep sympathy to the widow and children and all sOrrOwing ones of Brother Tow, and that a copy of these resolutions be spread on the minutes of Dallas Lodge No. i2S, F.. & A. M., and a copy be given to The Mena Evening Star for publi- cation.

New York, Feb iS.-United States Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson is to add editorial work to the mani fold duties which he has been obliged to assume in connection with the care of Americans in Mexico City. Adviees here say that all the newspapers in the capital have been seized by the government or have suspended publication be- cause of the peril from shot and shell.
 1t was decided among the refu- gees at the American embassy that the gap should be filled with a small daily paper published at the embassy for the benefit of Amerl- cans and others, who have been un- able to get papers for week, It now appears that the Americans virtually have little city of their own in the capital, for previous dispatches have told of the organi- .zation of a police force, fire depart ment and hospital service.
