EASTERLY WIND AND RAIN.
Long-Predicted Falling WeatheI
Comes Eventually.

The threatening conditions which
have prevailed during most of the
week eliminated in rain last night
accompanied by an easterly wind
There was somewhat of gale early
this morning, but the wind later ir
the day diminished in force.
New Years week is generally dull
from business point of view, and
the inclement weather added addi-
tional torpor.
Only people compelled to be out
were on the streets today.
But few buyers or sellers attended
the market, and the bulk Of the sales
were conducted by butchers and
hucksters.

CHEATED HIS HEIRS.
Distrustful of Banks. And Money he
Hid Just Found.

Roanoke, Va, Jan. 3.-DlstrustfuI
of banking methods has probably
prevented the use of $1,000 to the
heirs and assigns Of w. A. Wingfeld,
deceased. While A. P. Debo, car
penter, was engaged in making re-
pairs to house, now owned by Noble
Martin, of Hendricks Store, Bedford
county but formerly the property OF
w. A. Wingfeld, glass jar contain
ing $1,000 was discovered between
the Notwithstanding and the rafters
of the house.
Mr.. Wingfeld was VIGOROUSLY dis
trustful of banks and banking meth
DDS and is said to have hidden his
cash. He died without revealing the
glass jar and contents. Dillgent
search had been made for money at
the time of Wingfield's death by h:s
heirs-at-law, but their efforts were
unrewarded, Mr.. Wingfeld was broth
er of Judge G. A. Wingfeld, who was
once Circuit Court judge of Bedford
county.
Debo and Martin share the s2,6OC
between them according to agreement,
unless Wingfeld's heirs obstruct this
arrangement.

Trehy Takes the Stand and
Denies All the Charges
Urged.
TESTIMONY OF CLERK.
Contestants Have Other Witnesses
Who Will Appear-Trial to be En-
lOngatcd.

Norfolk, Va, Jan. 3.-Though the
contestees have announced that they
would rest their case today at noon
it became apparent yesterday that
1.-THE Norfolk election trial in the Cor
poration Court will not be completed
i this week. Contestants counsel m
dicated that they propose putting on
further testimony.
In the afternoon session of the
court James V. Trehy, clerk Of the
Corporation Court, contested and
three election officials in the sixth
precinct went on the stand. Their
testimony consumed practically the
entire afternoon.
During the morning session Of
ficials put on the stand were j. Aub-
rev Butt, George Heatherton and T.
,B. Hatton, each of whom testihed
that he observed nothing illegal IN
the conduct of the polls. These three,
with Mr.. Gallagher, citizens party
Judge and f. P. Champlin, the judge
charged with going into the booth
with a large percentage of the vo'
ters, are the men who conducted the
election in that precinct. Mr.. Champ
lin and Mr.. Gallagher have not as yet
been on the stand. Messrs. Butt,
,Heatherton and Haton corrobo-
rated previous testimony that Mr..
Champlin was outside the ballot box
room nearly all day, but they did
not testify concerning the charge
that he assisted voters illegally.
Their duties were on the inside.
Mr.. Trehy, the last witness called,
was on the stand more than half an
hour. On direct examination he de-
MED emphatically the charge OF
conspiracy between himself and the
election officials in the Fifth ano
Sixth precincts. y
He was asked ABOUT the VoUe ie
corded in the name of H. Burman,
who, several days ago, swore ne
did not vote, the question bringing
out especially the testimony OF W.
Frank Robertson, who said he saw
Mr.. Trehy give a voter card, taken
from a card index system, on which
was the name "H. Burman." Mr..
Trehy replied that he did not know
II. Burman, and denied passing to
anybody a card with Burman's name
on it. He said that the "Burman's'
card was handled by William Heath
erton, brother of George Heather
ton. one of the clerks in the polls.
This information was given he said
by William Heatherton himself.

WITHDRAWAL OF FINANCIERS
Move Toward Ending interlocking
Directors.


New York. Jan. 3.-The withdraw
al today of J. P. Morgan d Co., from
more than score of great corpora
ttions and the statement shortly al
terward by George F. Baker, an al
most equally dominant figure IN
American finance, that he soon would
take similar action, gave Wall street
generally a thrill which almost
brought trading on the Stock Ex-
change to halt.
While it is probably true that
many of the prominent bankers had
information foreshadowing this mo-
mentous move toward ending inter
locking directorates, the public and
ibrokers had no advance knowledge
of what was taking place in the IN
j,ner councils of the greatest Of all
American houses of finance.
Mr.. Morgan, departing from his
firms traditional policy of silence
made a public statement announcing
the withdrawal of five members of }.
P. Morgan & Co., from directorships
in 27 corporations and the intention
TO withdraw from more.
He gave as the reason that too
much of their time was being con-
sumed.

F I E r c E FIGHTING.
London Spectator Expresses Beiici
That United States Must Soon IN
ieryene in Mexico.

Preside, Tex, Jan. "a general
assault upon Ojinaga by General Or
tega's Mexican rebels began shortly
after midnight, and although at day
light the fe&erals still held the town,
the enemy had advanced on every
side. In some cases the rebels even
invaded the outskirts of the town
,and engaged the defenders hand to
hand.
The rebels opened their assault
with terrific cannonaGing and for
shours thereafter a deafening arti-
lery duel continued. Its effect has
not yet been learned Both federal
and rebe. shells burst on the Ameri-
can side Of the river, however, and
Major McNamee, the commander Of
the United States patrols, twice was
compelled to send warnings to both
Mexican commanders. His warnings
were heeGed Immediately.
London, Jan. 3.-Pressure Of public
.opinion throughout the world will in
the near future force the United
Estates to intervene in Mexico, says
the Spectator today.
7 Joint action in Mexico by other
powers with the United States is im-
I,possible," says the article. "The
fUnted States will have to act alone
or sacrifice the Monroe Dostrine.
which it is not likely to r.o."
The Spectator declares President
Wilson made a mistake when he did
not assume General Huerta was the
strongest force to bring about peace
in Mexico.
Instead" it continues, "he did that
which, with all respect, we must
say was the worst thing he could
have doie. He intervened, and pre-
tended not to be intervening, he dep
recated bloodshed and anarchy, and
yet he would neither stop it himself
nor let any one else do So"
Presidio, Tex, Jan. 3.-After driv-
ing a rasping cannon fire into the fod
eral army at Ojinaga, for four days,
General Ortega's rebel army has fall
en- back, it was reported on the Amer
lean side, to await the arrival of more
ammuntion. The ammunition is on
the way from chihuahua.
! The almost impregnable position
of the 1000 federals, entrenched in
the heights Of the village from
which they CONN and sweeping
range on the advancing rebels, en-
abled them to hold out against su-
per:or numbers. Eaci time the reh-
els charged they were compelled TO
fall back. Though they were flank
ed on three sides and the United
States border patrol had prepares for
a possible retreat of their whole
army to American territory. the fed
erals fought persistently.
It appeared that General Ortega's
rebels were drawing the federais fire
merely to exhaust it. The plan OF
driving out the federal force by sklr-
mishine would be in line with the
usual guerilla tactics of the rebels
who seldom make aggressive
charges.
So far the losses have been the
heaviest on the rebel side, due to the
Eederal's superior range. Federal!
deserters report they had fewer than
100 killed, with an unknown number
Of woun4ed. No Americans were per-
mitted to cross the river, and any
thing like an accurate estimate was
lacking - 80 -
Federal deserters, have attempted
10 reach the American side, The
wounded were cared for by the Red
Cross = E"-a'g. So
