eeIIert, the Faithful Hound.

Prince Llewellyn had a favorits greyhound named Gellert, gentle ct home and valiant in the chase. One day the prince was about to go hunt ing and blew his horn for his dogs. All his dogs came save Gelert. He blew again and called, but Gellert did not come. He could wait no longer and set off without his favorite. He had little success and returned to his castle vexed at his ill-lucs<-
 Gellert came bounding out to meet him. But the prince noticed that his lips and fangs were dripping with blood The prince was startled. He though of his infant child, who often played with the dog. Rushing to the chilfs room. he found everything In disorder, the cradle overturned and daubed with blood. More and more terrified at the signs of conflict he sought for his child. but in vain.
 At last he felt sure that the hound had destroyed his son. and with the cry. Monster, thou hast devoured my child" he plunged his sword into the greyhound's side.
 AS GelIert gave his dying yell, . cry was heard from beneath the over turned cradle, and there LleWellyn found his child unharmed and just awakened from sleep, and besides him torn in pieces and covered with blood lay the body of q great gAunt wolf
 Llewellyn was grieved to the heart; ; but nothing could bring his faithful dog to life again. He buried him by the castle wall, and over his grave he raised a great cairn of stones, so thAs every passerby might sec it and re- member his story. And the plaeA eo Grave of Gellert- LILLIAN BREHAUT.

ON Side OF JUSTICE
PRESIDENT WILSON MAKES AN
NoUNcEMENTs REGARDING
HIS APPOINTMENTS

Washington, April 6.-President
Wilson today enunciated the princi-
pie that is guiding him in the selec-
tion Of public servants, expressing
the view that he did not believe in
choosing men who would decide ques-
tions in certain way, but those whom
he knew to be just and fair. The
president remarked that, to him, it
seemed justice was the hardest thing
In the world to obtain and that it re-
quired more courage and conscience
than any other one thing.
Mr.. Wilson was discussing his ap-
pointment Of Professor Winthrop
Daniels to the interstate commerce
commission. The confirmation was
obtained only after a vigorous sem
ate contest. The president referred
to Mr.. Daniels as a just and enlight-
ened man, whom he had known inti-
mately for 25 years and whom he CON
sidered Of unusual ability. Mr. Dam
iels was sworn in today as a member
OF the commission.

carothers is 4In Radp


Washington, April 6.-The cancel
lation by the Huerta government of
the exequatur Of American Consular
Agent George C. Carothers because he
sent to Washington dispatches saying
the rebels had taken Torreon from
the Huerta forces, failed to disturb
state department officials today. The
Huerta government still denies Tor
reon has fallen.
Mr.. Carothers obtained his exc
quatur when he was accredited to the
Madero government and stationed at
Torreon. Since the outbreak of the
Carranza revolution he has had a
rowing commission in northern Mexico
and his exequatur from the Mexico
City government has been of little
value to him.
It is the intention Of the American
government to keep Carothers with
General villa and the constitutionalist
leaders to make prompt representation
for the safety of Americans and other
foreigners and to fool1 after gthsir
interests generally, M &
Should Mr. Carothers find it neces-
sary to go into territory controlled by
the Huerta government, he may now
be unable to do business with it's local
authorities, but there is no prospect
that he personally will be inconveni-
enced or prevented from making OBJ
servations as an unofficial representa-
tive. Neither John Lind nor William
Bayard Hale had an exequatur while
in federal territory.
Official advices, telling of the ex-
pulsion Of the 600 Spaniards from Tor
reon by General villa, We're expected
today. Until the Spanish ambassador
calls it to the attention Of the state
department there is little chance Of
action by the washington government
Taking Spanish Property
Mr.. Riano, the ambassador from
Spain, received official notice today
of Villas expulsion Of Spanish sub
3scts from Torreon and prepared t

jects to their expulsion but also tC

which is estimated to run into thf
millions.

Torreon, Mex, April ), via El Paso,
Texas, April 6.-The town of San

in all probability be the scene OF the
next battle.
San Pedro a hill-girt city whose
natural defences must be approached
over flat country, held federal gar
rison all the time while the battle of
Torreon was being fought, but this
force was prevented by rebel column
from coming to the assistance of Gen
eral yelasco.
Recently a comparatively small
force of rebels attempted to take the
town, having underestmated the
strength of the garrison, whose real
numbers were developed by the shock.
General Villa has been building up
his force in the last days for re-
newal of the assauI.. the defeat Of
the federals at San Pedro would, it is
said, remove the last federal force
from this district.
The whereabouts Of the troops
driven from this city last week is not
known, although it is believed that
Velasco is headed for saltillo.
The Spanish colony ordered out of
this city by General Villa probably
will be placed aboard trains for
Juarez tomorrow.

DECISION Is MADE IN
FAVOR OF COMPANIES
CORPORATIONS IN CALIFORNIA
MAY EXTEND PLANTS WITH
OUT FRANCHISES

washington, April 6.-By decision
today Of the supreme court IN the
Economic case from Los Angeles, pri-
vate light or water companies In Cal
ifornia may extend their plants be-
yond their limits on October 10, 1911,
without obtaining franchise from
the city concerned.
Justice Hughes, for the court said
that the California constitution OF
1879. in order to forestall city coun-
ellis by corrupt methods from grant
ing a light or water monopoly to one
company. provided that any corpora
tion could use city streets. for light
OF water purposes without condition.
Although constitutional amend
ment was adopted in 1911, requiring
all corporations furnishing slight or
water to cities to procure city fran
chises, Justice Hughes held that
could not limit rights acquired by old
corporations and that one OF these
rights was to extend plant
The object of the California legis-
lature in adopting the amendment Of
1911 was to pave the way for muni-
eipal water and Light works, according
to the statements Of the gas com.
pany in presenting IT'S case to the
supreme court, by starving private
companies BY denying the right 10 ex
