Provisional President Huerta would
not resign and moreover, would brook
no interference on the part of for
eigners in his administration. While
no plan that the American govern

Grafton involved any direct interfer

one of unalterable opposition to the
Huerta regime.
General Eudardo Hay, who has been

Senate foreign relations committee,
during the present week. Having TAX

TITAN|CMYSTERY
May Be Partially Solved Is
Thought Probable
II The Floating Wreck Recently
Seen Near Scene Of Disaster
Proves to Be Fore Part Of Inflated
Steamer, as Many Think.

Philadelphia Aug. 3.-Much of TIE
mystery that surrounded the sinking
of the White star liner Titanic, on
April IA, 1912, may be dispelled by the
discovery of a wreck believed to be
part of the hulk of the llstarred
vessel standing on end in the Allan
tie ocean, off the Grand Banks of
Newfoundland practically in the spot
where the disaster occurred.
Capt. Remnant of the British steam
ship Luciline, which arrived at Philadel-
phia from Bordeaux several days ago.
reported sighting the derelict. and the
United States photographic office has
begun an investigation to learn more
about the wreck. Lieutenant Commander
Landerberger, United States photograph
err stationed in this city, said the matter
was of the utmost Importance.
Should the vessel sighted by the
Luciline prove To be the remains of the
Titanic the story of the memorable
wreck would be rewritten. The fac
that after more than year the hull

truding eight feet or mere above the
surface, would indicate that a sub
merged ledge of rock had prevented tn,
wreck from going to the bottom of thu
yea.
Capt Remnant says the wreck was
covered with a marine growth of com
paratively recent formation, tending
10 show that it had been in the water
a little more han a year. 1t had the
appearance, Capt. Remnant said, OF
being held down by anchors in shoal
water and of being buoyed up by
water-tight compartments. He is OF
the opinion it was the forward part
which, it was said, split in two JUS,
before it sank.
Mariners say there is every reason t
credit the existence of submerged
ledge of rock at or near the spot wher,
the Titanic was destroyed.

LOSING THE CAT BY MAIL.
Parcel Post Might Solve an Old Time
Problem if Uncle Sam Didn't Object.

A man at Cassville, Mo. sent cat
by parcel post to a friend at Flat
River, Mo. The postal authorities at
Springfield stopped the cat at that
station because it is a violation of the
rules to take live animals fer trans
portation.
Now the Springfield postal authori
ties are wondering how to get the cat
lack to the Cassville man without
further violation of the law. And
speculation as to the possibilities that
might follow if cats could be sent
by parcel post.
Those who have ever had the expe-
rience of putting a cat in a sack and
carrying it away from its old home in
order to have it take up it's abode
with some other family will readily
comprehend what an advantage it
would be over the old plan of getting
rid of the cat if it could be boxed
up and sent to some political enemy
several hundred miles away.
The disadvantages attending the old
style of wishing the cat onto some
stranger carrying it away in gun
nysack" are numerous. In the first
place everybody is suspicious of the
man who carries that kind of bur
den on his shoulder. They lie in wait
for him with shotSuns. To make the
undertaking a safe one it must be
done after night. Not to mention
this difficulty there is the discomfit-
ure of guilty conscience attending
such duty, as well as the menace OF
a more or less vigilant police force.
And after all the trouble of carry
ing the cat a safe distance and turn
ing it loose upon an unSuspectine
and unoffending community. one re-
turns to his own home fireside, lies
down to cat-disturbed dreams and
awakes in the morning to find Mr.
Cat meoWing on the back steps wait
or the bacon that has been laid aside
for breakfast.
How much better, and how mucf
safer and how much more certain o
success if one could wrap the cat il
tissue paper, tie it up neatly in a pep
er box. inclose a card to an old school
mate, saying: Dear Bill: / am send
ing you token of my affection ant
esteem"- and start the cat on it
way through the parcel post.
There would be no chance for {
come back" then, on the part o
the cat. But all speculation on thi
theory is made vain and unprofitab BIZ

What howl there was when Pres
ident Taft recommended reciprocity
with Canada, and how mild the pro
test against President Wilson'S deter
mination that live stock. wheat ard
oats go on the free list in the new
Underwood tariff bill!
Farmers Of this section were al
most unit against reciprocity with
Canada because of the effect it would
likely have upon the price of home
grown wheat, but isn't the present
proposition far more dangerous viii
1t not mean free wheat and oats from
Argentine and Australia as well as
Canada, and free stock from those
countries2
The proposition is the same as it
was in reference TO Canadian reci
procity- Town people are for free
live stock, wheat and oats, because
of the chances Of cheapening the cost
of living, but the farmer will oppose
any move in this direction for the
very natural reason that he is to get
the worst of it. And you can't blame
him. interests are not identical, and
that's what makes satisfactory tar

That there is not the protest
against Wilson't position there was
against Taft's is probably due to the
fact that IL hasn't had time to soak
in, or because Wilson holds to great
er degree the confidence of the people.
However, the chances are that free
live stock, wheat and oats haven't
soaked in
