ARKANSAS MAN
 CAPTURED BAXTER
It Was James l.. Ward of Alec Who Nabbed the For mer Arkansas Governor, and 1t Was in Missouri.

Marshall, April 29.-The name of the man who, during the Civil War captured ElishaBaxter, gov ernor of Arkansas from 1872 to 1874, probably has never been known, except by a few persons. It is said that a man from Texas and one from Missouri. several years ago. claimed the honor, but could not prove that they captur- ed him, and the nearest that Shinn in his Arkansas history comes to naming the man is that Baxter was captured by Confed- crates in Missouri.
 The man who led the scouting party that captured Baxter Is James L. Ward of Alec, who was the first man to enlist from Searcy County in .,.e Confederate cause.
 MT. Ward was on a raid with General Marmaduke to Cape Cir ardeau, Mo-, when he captured Baxter near little town by the name of Patterson.
 Ward. leading a scouting party arrived at a country home. One of his men went into the hom e to get drink of water, but sud- denly came back and said, Ward Baxter is in there" Ward was acquainted with Baxter, and told this man to go and tell him to come out. Baxter came out af- ter he was invited two or three times and Ward asked him his

MEXICAN CRISIS WAITS NOW ON
 PEACE EFFORTS
No Decisive Step is Expect ed While Negotiations
 In Progress.

Washington, April 28-The Mexican Crisis now is centered on the issue between those who seek, through the good officers and intermediation of Latin America, to find some middle ground for peaceful settlement, and those who consider war an inevitable result of what has oc- cured.
 Throughout today two distinct branches of activity were mani fest here that of the envoys of Argentina, Brazil .and Chile in formulating a plan of adjust ment to be submitted to be sub mitted to the United States and to Huerta, and that of the mili- tary and naval forces of the Unit ted States which continues to 
 prepare for anything that may happen. The arrival of General Funston and a brigadeIof $500 troops at Vera Crauz was the most important military develop ment of the day.
 At the White House, President Wilson and his cabinet advisers held lengthy meeting. It was devoted chiely to the Colorado situation. though the Mexican crisis was considered. The cab- inet officials however, feel that the Mexican situation now is be- before the South American dip- lomats and care wsstaken not to

NEGROES MUST RAISE
 QUESTION OF DENIAL

The United States Supreme Court has refused to grant a writ of error on an appeal of the case of l. D. Mcclure vs. Topf & Wright in which the Supreme Court of Arkansas decided that the Going Liquor law is consti- tutional, according to word recei- we'd here today. This means that the United States Supreme Court refuses to pass on the de- cree of the Arkansas court.
 The court refused..to grant the writ allowing the case to be brought before it on two grounds. The firstwas that the negro race had not raised the question of be- ing denied constitutional rights and the other was that the de- cree Of the Arkansas Supreme Court was not final. as it rever- sed and remanded the case for new trial.
 The case was appealed from the Third Division of the Pulaski Circuit Court and was the cut growth of the Ar9eBta LiquOr

MElITATORS BUSY IN EFFORT 10
 BRING PEACE
Nothing Definite Is So Far Accomplished, as Work so Far Has Been Preliminary Sounding of Both Sides.

Washington April 28- While envoys of Brazil, Argentina and Chile today sought to find some ground upon which to base pro- posals to the United States and Mexico which would settle diff culties between the nations, word was flashed from Vera Cruz that Brigaiders General Funston and about 5000 troops had arrived at the base of American operations in the MeXlcan republic.
 Chief interest in Washington centered however, in the activity of the South American diplomats who met early in the day at the Argentine legation to plan the next step in the negotiations for peace. Before the envoys began their conference Secretary of State Bryan was formally notifi- ed by Ambassador Riano of Spain that Gederal Huerta had accept ed the princpile Of meditation proposed.
 The five diplomats who were in continuous session until we'll af- ter noon, and no other move in the formal negotiations had been made public. Ambassador Riano at the Spanish embassy was awaiting the next communicat- ion from the meditators.

ton by persons familiar with the climatic conditions in Mexico. Not only will the American troops have to war against the enemy, but against climatic conditions, thirst, famine and disease, as well.
 The rainy season in Mexico be- gins in a month or so and for three months daily downpours oc- cur.
 Already Rear Admiral Badger, in command of the Atlantic fleet at Vera Cruz. has reported that food and water supplies can be brought in from the United states or the American forces begin their march to the fertile valley surrounding the City of Mexico, a shortage of food supplies will endanger the success of the American troops.
 Owing to the altitude of of the City of Mexico, which is about 5000 feet. pneumonia is quite pre"alent and extremely fatal, especially during the rainy sea- SOL.
 The danger of yellow fever is also ever present land especially during the summer months.
 While the City of Mexico is V Ii thin the tropics. yet the temperature scarcely varies more than 10 degrees through the en- tire year.

It Is true that signs of both kinds are to be found at some points now, but many intersections of high ways are without direction signs and innumerable bad turns and other dan gerous places on the highway are without warning signs. For instance, coming into Killingly avenue over the route from Attawaugan there is a very bad turn. which at any time is apt to be the scene of bad accident, as a driver unfamiliar with the route is liable to approach the curve at too high speed and find himself unable to safely bring the car around the turn.

wEPT AT REVELATIONS.
Everett P. Adars. Sued for Divorce, Begged Wife Not to Have intimate Secrets Revealed-Brfefs Submitted in Ashferd Case.

The divorce case of Adams vs. Adams occupied the attention of the superior court Friday until 3.15 in the afternoon. Judge Howard J. Curtis was on the bench.
 Almost all of the time was taken up with the testimony of Everett Pay son Adams. the defendant. MT Adams seemed much affected during his tes- timony, and broke down on one oc- casion and wept. saying he did not want to tell the things which should be kept between his wife and himself, and that he had begged her not to push the case. which would result in making it all public.
 Mr. Adams said he had worked hard all his life as a farmer, storekeeper and carpenter and also sold cider at fairs, and that today he was worth about two thousand dollars. At one time he and his wife ran the Orchard house at Ashford. and he said they did a good business and Mrs. Adams got the money. About a year ago he said he gave her s545 outright.
 Denied UnfaithfuIness Charges.
 He denied the charges brought by his wife and the, plaintiffs witnesses, saying he had never been untrue to her, and that she had never accused him of injuring her health by his treatment of her. Ass ito drinking, he
  ing off my feet or losing my head" He admitted taking a drink of cider now and then, but said it was some times a long time between drinks.
 Thought Wife Took Dope.
 His explanation of the trouble be- tween the couple was that at first his wife did not think he kept himself clean enough. and then she complained of living in Ashford, because she had a girl growing up and the boys were Later she wanted to move, so as to give her daughter a better education. Then came a trip to New York and a surgical operation and Mrs. Adams went back to work too soon after it. He said she was not the same, and he thought at times she was taking dope"
 Once in Libby Prison.
 The fact was brought out in the mornings testimony that MT. Adams is a veteran of the Civil war and was in Libby prison.
 The witness stood very well a severe cross-examination by Attorney liar vey in the afternoon, and in answer to a question claimed that his habits today are the same as they were thirty years ago. when he was married. He neither drank more, swore more, or was different in his home life.
 Much of the testimony Friday, as was the case Wednesday, cannot be printed, touching on the intimate re- iations of the couple, and the whole case seems to hang simply upon who was to blame.
 There were no arguments, as chiefs were submitted instead. Court ad 1ourned until next Tuesday at Putnam.
