WILL FIGHT REBELS
Mexican Government Prepar-
ing for Campaign in South.
Rebel Successes in Northern
Regions Cause of Activities.

Mexico City, April 1.-The breaking
off of all negotiations for peace with
Zapata has forced the government to
mobilize strong force for campaign
against the southern rebels. This has
been done in spite of the fact that
rebel successes in the north have made
imperative the dispatch of a large
part of the regular army to that re-
gion.
The war department says that gov
ernment troops will begin moving to-
day in those districts occupied by
Zapata followers. This concentration
will continue until an army of 10000
men has been gathered.
General Pascual Orozco, Jr., and
many of his old chiefs will participate
in the southern campaign. Dispatches
today from Huautla said Pascual
Orozco, Sr.. was not killed as was pre-
viously stated but is kept closely
guarded at Huautla.
The followers of Zapata have cir
culated numerous manifestos repudf-
ating Huerta and Felix Diaz and call
ing on the people to support the "a
pata movement.
Prepare for Attack.
Monterey, April 1.-The federal
troops, commanded by Genera Trucy
Aubert, have been divided into two
columns, one of which has left here in
make an effort to recover the towns
of Lampasas. The other column has
departed for Saltillo to serve as a
guard for the workmen engaged in
the reconstruction of the national
railroad

candidates for the office, which pays
a salary of $4,000 a year.
Aside from a careful study of the
new text book printing law, members
of the commission transacted very lit
tie business at today's session. Opin-
ions were secured from the attorney
general concerning the operation of
the law and the powers of the commits
sion.
Some time this month, perhaps, the
commission will elect a secretary. At
present there are six applicants for the
place They are S. p. Rowland,
Hutchinson; w. G. Gamble, Tonga

tendent of Sumner county; E. G.

.FLANNELLY OR POLLOCK
United States Court to Decide Juris-
diction of Gas Case.

The gas case will be given another
inning Friday before Judge Walter H.
Sanborn, presiding judge of the United
States circuit court of appeals in Kan
sas City. This action is to determine
whether Judge Flannelly of Inde-
pendence or Judge John c. Pollock of
the Kansas district of the federal
court has jurisdiction in the case. Both
sides have intimated that they will ap-
peal in event they are defeated in the
hearing before Judge Sanborn.
Judge FIannelly and Judge Pollock
each named receivers for the Kansas
Natural Gas company. The Montgom-
cry county judge claimed that he had
jurisdiction by virtue of a prior suit
in his court. Should Judge Sanborn
hold that Judge Pollock has jurisdic-
ton in the case, the state of Kansas
will probably take the case direct to
the United States supreme court on an
application for a writ of prohibition
to prevent the federal court from pro-
ceeding further on the grounds that
it has not independent or prior juris-
diction; and for the further reason
that the federal court does not and
could not have jurisdiction in the case,
even though 1t showed priority in the
action

Rome, April 1.-The body of the
late J. Pierpont Morgan, after being

case of heavy walnut with gold and
silver fittings.

to America, but it is understood ac-
commodation has been offered on

Taft Pays Tribute.
New York, April Former Presi-
dent Taft paid a tribute to the mem
ory of J. P. Morgan at the home of
his brother, Henry W. Taft, shortly
after his arrival from Augusta, Ga.
Il knew Mr.; Morgan personally -
said Mr.. Taft, "but our relations were
never intimate. However, he always
impressed me as a man of remarkable
administrative force and executive
ability. He was without doubt the
greatest f1nancier that America has
ever produced and certainly was one
of the impressive world figures of his
time. I regret his death exceedingly" ="
Appreciations in Paris.
Paris, April 1.-Appreciations of
Mr.. Morgan are published in most of
the Paris morning papers, which call
attention to his higher position in in
ternationa1 finance, his benevolence
and culture. The Figaro says: "Mr.
Morgan's death will cause sincere sor-
row to France. The French museums
possess many proofs of his generosity
and the government intended to con-
fer upon him the high distinction of
Grand Officer of the Legion of Honor
on his next visit to France"
Welded Great Power.
Berlin, April 1.-The Berlin morn
ing papers devote columns to Mr.. Nor
gan's death and unite in declaring
him to have been the worlds greatest
fnancier. mo living man has held
such financial power as Mr.. Morgen,"
says the Tageblatt, which ascribes the
development in the United States chif-
ly to him. His enterprise overshad-
owed the deeds and successes of all
the other financial giants of the Unit
ed States says the Naction Zeitung.
The Morgen Post says that he abol-
ished competition as principle of big
American business. All the papers
praise him as a great art patron and
refer 20 the emperor's friendship for
him. They add that his death will not
affect the bOurSeS.

TALKS WITH WILSON.
Formation Laid for Currency LegisIa-
ton in Congress.

Washington, April 1.-Senator Ow-
en-, chairman of the new senate cur
rency committee had a talk with Pres
ident Wilson today about currency
legislation. Senator Owen said after
ward they discussed no details. but
laid the foundation for future confer
ences. He expressed the opinion that
although probably several individual
bills would be introduced one measure
would be clothed with administration
support. Attention of the administra
ton now is centered upon the tariff
and tonight Representative Under
wood will have a second conference
with the president on the new bill. Mr..
Wilson has had the measure before
him for a week, has studied it care
fully and heard some protest, princi-
pally against putting sugar on the
free list. So far as can be learned the
presidents mind is still open both on
the sugar question and whether the
tariff should be revised schedule by
schedule or in a single bill. The
president likewise has reported no de-
cision as to whether the income tax
feature of the bill should provide for
a flat tax or graduated system.

ALL FOOLS DAY
1t Is Ancient Holiday of All
Nations.
But None Claims It's Origin
A Mystery UnsOlved.

This is All Fools Day. Beware,
! Everybody. The first of April is one
of the few holidays, the origin of which
| is unknown. No country wants to
claim the first Fool. It's only meet
that the Fools should have a day of
their own since, as one Charles Dick
ems has it, They're so numerous and
fill so many positions of dignity and
| Importance" April Fools Day may
have originated with the Romans, It
may be an old Druid custom, it may
date from a festival of the Hindoos
who celebrated a similar day on the
31st of March.
Asiatics, Europeans, English and
Scotch have dedicated a day to All
Fools, but none claim tie honor of or
iginating it. One of the first refer
ences is found in Plutarch, who ques-
les, why do they call Quirinalia the
Feast of Fools?" The willy Romans
once gave a feast on the 1st of April
in honor of Neptune. They invited the
Sabines, who came with their women.
The Romans seized the women for
wives and considered it a good joke.
Whether this Grass incident is the or
iginal April Fools is somewhat of a
question.
Poor Robins Almanack, published in
England in 1850. contains a quatrain
dedicated to the 1st of April:
The first of April, some do say
Is set aside for All Fools Day;
But why the people call it SO,
Nor 1, nor they themselves, do know"
The day is still in observance. An
English urchin waylays a gentleman
in frock coat, top hat and CATERS.
Say, mister. your coats full of holes"
Holes cries the gentleman, anxi-
ously examining it.
Yep" chortles the youngster, but
tonholes.
successfully every 1st of April. Andy
is sent to distant farm for a hoe;
he carries a folded note saying, This
is the first of April. Hunt the gowk
another mile" Andy is hustled from
farm to farm. and his wits are meas
ured by the miles he trods.
The holiday is almost universal
through Europe and is called "Un
Poisson d'Avril' in France. The Paris
ian gdmmins consider it their special
property. Napoleon 1, with his custo-
mary dogmatic aversion to supersti-
ton, married Maria Louisa upon April
/, and was criticized by the entire en-
pire because of it.
In the United States All Fools Day
is second only to Christmas as a romp
for the children. Jokes of all kind,
but inevitably poor, are propounded
upon long-suffering elders. The fun
lasts until April 2, and is only quelled
by the antiquated chant:
April Fools is gone and past,
And you're the biggest (mother won't
let me say it, but you know what 1
mean) at last!"

SITUATION IS SERIOUS

The main levees on the Ohio at Cairo
and Shawneetown, ILL.,, were holding
today with the exception of few small
breaks, but with the water rising the
situation appeared to be serious
At Cairo the river has passed the So
foot mark and every inch of water puts
a heavy strain on the overburdened
levees which are liable to break at any
minute from the additional pressure.
All persons have been warned to leave
the lowlands and there is little prob
ability of loss of life should a break
occur, but the property damage would
be heavy.
Hundreds of men worked all night
placing sacks of sand on the levees to
prevent the water from rushing over
the top. Great confusion prevailed
among the refugees but the troops on
hand prevented any disorder. break
occurred in the Ieyee last night at Col
umbus, KY, a town of 1900 population
on the Mississippi river few miles
below Cairo. A number of persons
were marooned in the upper story of
dwellings,, but the majority fled to the
hills back of the town.
On the upper Ohio river, the situa-
tion was expected to improve today
when the crest of the flood passes.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1913-04-01

the edge of the district. Consequently
the greatest hope is placed in boats in
case of great trouble. One half of the
population has left the city already
rem, and it is believed should an ava
lanche of water sweep over the city
small loss of life would result.
Levee Is Holding.
Mount Vernon, ILL.,, April 1.-The
levee at Shawneetown was intact at 5
o'clock this morning and conditions
there were not threatening, according
to news received here today.
Fire in Huntington.
Huntington, w. Va. April 1.-Fire
broke out in the flooded residence dis
trict today and threatened an entire
city block, but the flames were check
ed by the use of dynamite. Eleven
persons were rescued from the burn
ing buildings. Fire engines placed on
barges pumped water on the flames.
Many Are Homeless.
Charleston, w. Va, April 1.-Addi-
tional state troops were called to duty
this afternoon by Governor Hatfield.
They willb sent to Parkersburg and
Point Pleasant to assist in relief work.
1t is estimated $4,000 persons along
the Ohio river are in need of food and
water.
Town Under Water.
New Richmond, April 1.-THE entire
town of New Richmond was under
water today. The people have taken
up quarters on the hills surrounding
the town. Provisions have been re-
ceived from Batavia and there is no
suffering. No one has been reported
dead or missing. Fifty houses have
been washed from their foundations at
Moscow, near New Richmond.
Large Flood Expected.
Springfield, I'LL, April 1.-Adjutant
General Dickson today received
telephone message from Mayor George
A. Parsons of Cairo, that the water
was flowing over the top of the Big
Four embankment, known as the
drainage district levee, and that the
had abandoned hope of pre-
venting the flooding of the district
The flooding of the drainage district,
which is above Cairo, will probably
relieve the pressure of water on the
evee which protects the city, but will
flood a territory ten miles each way
with from five to fifty feet of water.
The overflowing of the embank-
nent cut off railroad communication
with Cairo.
Hickman Under Six Feet of Water
Hickman, KY, April Telephone
reports today from Columbus, KY, a
own of 1000 inhabitants, said wa
-er from breaks in the Mississippi
evee had covered the greater part of
he village four to six feet. The ma
lority of the population is encamped
IN hills and although there is food
enough for several days, considerable
1elp will be required.
