MORE COMPLICATIONS
ARE ARISING RAPIDLY
MEXICO SEEMS DOOMED TO BE
THROWN INTO ANOTHER
BLOODY CIVIL WAR IN
VERY SHORT WHILE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-(SpeciaD
According to United States Consul
Silliman at Mexico City, General Car
ranza, first chief of the Constitution
alists, has repudiated the telegram
sent for him by General Pablo Con
zaleS, In which he said that he would
retire from any active participation
in Mexican government, and announces
that he will make a stand for what he
believes to be the best for his country.
The dispatch from the consul states
that the fact has created consterna-
ton In the great body of Mexicans
who desire peace, as it is believed
that 1T will create feeling between
the first chief and General Pancho
Villa which cannot end in any other
way but open warfare.
The state department here are
greatly concerned over the matter
and conference between state Off
cials will probably be held shortly to
liscuss the matter and its relationship
with the United States. The party
which was in favor of American in
.ervention in the recent troubles in
Mexico is again coming to the front,
demanding that the United States put
stop to the fighing If it should
break out again in earnest. 1t is not
likely that any other policy than the
popular "watchful waiting" one will
be adopted by the administration.

BUCK sNELsoN is SOME STRONG

Judging from general appearances.
one would hardly say that Buck Smell
would hardly be classed as as g San
dow. But he performed a feat of
strength this morning which proved
him nothing short Of the same.
Perhaps you noticed that the big
barber pole in front of the Central
barber shop has been torn from it's
base and is lying on the sidewalk.
Therein lies the tale of Bucks feat
of strength. -. .-.-'
1t happened about ten o'clock this
morning when big Italian walked
into the shop and, asked for a shave.
Before the operation was half com
pleted said big Italian was seen flying
throug the door as though shot from
catapult, and he landed against the
barber pole with such impact as to
break the latter from it's mooring and
with said big Italian land in the mid.
die of the street.
Both parties to the show were in
terview and Buck gave the simple
statement that the Italian started to
cut up and he felt justified in forcibly
ejecting him. The Italian gave his
version about as follows: Il go to da
shop to getta da shave, but Mr.. Buck
he start to pulla my whisker out. 1
no lika dat and kicka like hell. Then
him throwa me out-bing! My, my,
him strong mani"

ONE GAME TO Be

on Account Of Lack Of

LOCAL BOY ON FIRST

Tho double header proposed for to-
day between the Indians and the Bun
MES was called of by Manager Harry
Sweet because Of a lack of pitchers.
It has been proposed to offer the fans
another bargain day bill in giving the
two games for the price Of one as
was done last Sunday. but Sweets lack
of hurlers made 1t necessary to can
eel the arrangement and so but one
game will be played. that to be call
ed at 300 o'clock.
But that one game will be attrac-
ton enough for most fans in the city.
A local boy, Mofiltt, will be used on
first base in place of Montgomery,
who was released following the game
yesterday. Mofitt is well known here,
having played for some time on the
Power City team. The fans will be
glad to see the boy given chance in
the professional game and the fact
that he is to work should prove good
drawing card.
Sweet has signed up several new
men in addition to Addington, second
baseman who Is to join the club at
Clinton Tuesday. An infielder, Craw-
ford, and two pitchers, OByrne and
Riley, all from the Kansas State
league, will join the club early in the
week. Crawford has been batting
1863 and fielding 1929. Riley won nine
games and lost none at Great Bend,
while O'Byrne won II and lost 10 at
Lyons.
The two pitchers are badly needed
right now as the present members OF
the star are being overworked With
Addington at second, Giffin will bs
shifted to first. Marshall then wiz
probably be used in right field
