London. Jan. 2O.-There has been an
extraordinary revival of activity on
the stock Exchange since the turn Of
the YEAR and cheaper money rates are
working wonders. II is a long time

in deepest gloom. Now optimism seems
TO be general.

wife AT New Henderson. Ill. January ;.

States Attorney John VI. Wilson or Mer-

Of her mother. who. she said was the
only obstacle between her and happiness.
The prosecutor hesitated to believe the
girls story OF the extraordinary pact she
entered into with her step-father, but she
told how they had schemed for hours de-
vlsing plan which would make Mrs.
Higgins's death appear accidental. She
said she was I'm the next room when Hig-
gins fred the shotgun which brought In
slant deaht TO her mother. She told how
higgins raved and struggled with neigh
bors for possession OF the gun. saying he
would end his own life. Then when the
excitement subsidized somewhat she said.
they explained that Higgins had been
cleaning the gun and it had been acct
dentally discharged.
Their story was so convincing that the
coroner's jury returned a verdict Of acci-
dental death. Later e. W. Ernest. a ma
ternal uncle Of the girl. took two letters
written by Julia Flake. one to himself
and one to his daughter. 10 States At

gated Saturday he called in States At

and Sunday they went TO see Julia at the
home Of another uncle. A. J. Ernest. at

story.
Higgins. who is twenty-six years old
and several years the junior OF the
woman he killed, was found to-day at
New Henderson. on the way TO the
county jail al Aledo he broke down
Il can't stand it any longer" he
moaned. "I'n tell everything"
The journey was interrupted at Alexis.
where Higgins signed a typewriter con-
fession. lie gave what he said were all
the details of the murder plot and as
serted mis- infatuation for his step-daugh-
ter was the cause of it all. lie declared
that Mrs Higgins became suspicious OF
his relations with her daughter and they
planned 10 get rid Of her.
The girl who IS at the home OF an aunt

uP-To-DATE TRAVELLING.

(From the Birmingham Age-Herald.)
The latest slogan Of railroads who
cater to the elite is said to be the,
Tango your way to the west" This
new way of westward going" promises
to become extremely popular with the
gilded sons and daughters of the land.
not to mention the grandmothers and
grandfathers whom the tango mania
has seized with even more violence
than 1t has the younger element. Tan
going ones way from Chicago, say, to
the Golden Gate is far more pleasant
and agreeable than walking, although
1t is perhaps In one sense considerably
more strenuous.
Instead Of playing cards and read
ing, taking maps and looking idly out
of car windows, the modern traveller
westward bound with the tango habit
foots it neatly in the dining car of
trains de luxe to the strains of vic
trola, chairs and tables, of course,
having been removed to make a clear
floor space. The cars measure twelve
feet by seventy feet and there is
plenty of room to exemplify not only
the tango but other modern dances
which do not call for a space as "big
as all outdoors" for their perform
ance.
The enterprising railroads are con-
stantly adding new comforts and lux.
uries to their trains, SO that travel
is becoming In increasing delight.
Time was when the train that carried
a library a French maid for the
women and barber for the men, was
hailed as the "last word" in railroad
luxury. Ere long we may expect to
see special tango cars in the makeup
of all transconinental trains, cars
which will not be used sometimes to
eat in, but will be deliberately decor
ated dance halls on wheels, with per.
haps a real orchestra to take the
place of canned music"
Maybe by that time the American
Statesman" will begin to realize that
the railroads are not such monstrous
corporations after all and that it
might be good idea to encourage
them little, instead Of trying to put
them out of business. ,'i.s,

TRUST LAW AND LABOR.

from the Birmingham Age-Herald.)
Efforts are made at Washington to
exempt labor unions and voluntary
associations of farmers from the
operations of the antitrust laws that
are to be acted upon by the present
congress; but, so far President Will
son does not favor exemption for any
sort of organization that may operate
in restraint of trade. Section of the
Clayton bill gives legal status to
union labor as at present organized,
but does not except it from prosecu.
ton for acts that are declared by the
antitrust laws to be illegal. AS a
concession to labor, Chairman Clay
ton has embodied in the bill provi.
sions limiting the power of the FEEDER.
al courts in issuing injunctions and
providing jury trials in cases of in
direct contempts.
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1914-04-24
The text provides:

5 "That nothing contained In the anti.
trust laws shall be construed to for
bid the existence and operation Of
fraternal labor, consumers, agricul-
tural or horticultural organizations,
orders or associations operating un-
der the lodge system, instituted for
the purpose of mutual help and not
having capital, stock or conducted for
profit, or to forbid or restrain in
dividual members of such orders or
associations from carrying out the
legitimate objects of such associa-
tons"
The President faces fight on the
refusal to make exemption a part of
the antitrust law, but he believes his
position will be stronger in the end
than if he should consent to let the
law make fish of one kind of organi-
cation and fowl of another.

ACTION: WHY NECESSARY.
(From the Mobile Register

(From the Mobile Register.)
Said Mobile citizen: 81 will give
my opinion, and it is the same as that
of Congressman Stephens, of Missis-
sippi, that we have not sufficient
cause for the proposed action against
Mexico; and, besides, Huerta has
apologized."
The alternative, of course, would
be not to take action. Senator Jonn
Sharp Williams offered to the Senate
yesterday his view of the conse-
quences of non-action. He is well
worth quoting, and what he said is an
answer to the Mobilian's declaration:
"Huerta has studiously endeavored
to insult the President and the govern
ment. 1t is not a matter Of injury to
property or to life; it is a. matter of
insult to the honor of the flag"
This Is SO surely true that there is
not one, not even ameAg those per-
sons who are making the most noise
about going to war" about nothing,
who will offer any denial. They
know very we'll what a perfect storm
of denunciation would fall upon any
executive who should adopt a pacific
attitude in face of an insult to the
nation. President Wilson, who sees
clearly and sees quickly, has nc
doubt of his duty to the American
people. He has proved he does not
want war; but he is not going to back
away from his responsibility. He is
what Is known as strong man.
Senator Williams enforced his point
saying:
'Tf the President had overlc. liked
this insult to the flag, he would have
been condemned from every hill ant
valley in the United States.
This is true also. The first actor
of Huerta was through his subordi
| udJto. It VI tHib uC dPCiO6h6ONs ASu
the disrespect was to the flag and ou
admiral demanded that there shoult
be not simply apology, but an out
ward demonstration that the act wa
repudiated by Huerta. This deDian'
Huerta has refused, except on term
for which no good precedent in inter
national affairs exists. In brief
Huerta does not actually regret AM
ask to be absolved from resentmen
4 for the insult to the flag. and he re
fuses to make amend satisfactory y
the .aggrived nation, the American
people. 1t, is Huerta's endeavor t
slip out of doing the right thing tina
makes the insult to the flag studiou
on his part.
That is the whole Of the case; an
if President Wilson should put up wit
it he would not only be denounced 6
home but ridiculed abroad and nj
