DICKENS HAIR NOT
WORTH THE DUTY

Washington, Jan. 12.-The recent
decision of the treasury department
that a lock of hair clipped from the
head of Charles Dickens did not con-
st;tute in itself an antiquity, resulted
in its shipment back to England.
The treasury held that although
Dickens. if living. would be more than
one hundred years old, it was clearly
evident that the lock of hair could
not lay claim to any such age. An
antiquity, as viewed by the treasury
officials, must be at least century
old. The Dickens relic had been sold
in London for $500.

Wilson Family Gave their Mississippi
Neighbors Reception and are
Now on Their Way to
Washington

Pass Christian. Miss, Jan. IL
Nearly 1000 persons, residents of
this section, paid their respects to
President Wilson here yesterday at a
public reception at the presidential
cottage. The guests were welcomed
by the President and Mrs. Wilson,
who stood on the cottage veranda in
the warm, bright sunshine. Mr. Will
son apparently enjoyed the occasion
Immensely, greeting those who shook
hands with him with cordial smile.
incidentally, it was the first public
reception under the present admins
tration
The president is highly appreciat-
i've of the manner in which the resi-
dents of this section have scrupul-
ously observed his desire for seclus-
ion ana rest and it was in recogni-
ton of their courtesy that he tender
ed the reception on the day before
his departure to Washington. The
weather was ideal and the air as
balmy as a spring day.
The reception was the closing
event of an interesting day for Pres
ident Wilson. AS he returned from
the Gulfport golf links in the morn
ing, men, women and children in
crowds greeted him along the road,
presenting him with flowers and
other gifts. AS President Wilson
passed the home of former Congress
man Bowers he was given gigantic
bunch of grapefruit, which children
along the way presented him with or
anges and bananas.
The presidential party will pach
their trunks today and at 11:15
o'clock tonight will leave by special
train for Washington, where they
will arrive early Tuesday.

This man who six months ago

was hailed as leader destined 20 de-

1t is understood that as soon az he

VILLAS MEN WON
THE VICTORY
Some of the FederaIs at Ojinaga Sur

Others Scattered

Presidio, Tex, Jan. 1.-THE Mex
lean federal army with its nine gen
erals evacuated Ojinaga, Mexico. at
10 o'clock last night The triumph
ant rebel forces under Gen. Francisco
Villa Immediately occupied the VIII
lage.
Gen. Salvador Mercado, who was
Huerta's chief military commander,
crossed the river and surrendered to
Major McNamee of the United States
army. 1t was impossible for Major
McNamee to learn what had become
of the federals, whether they scat
tered to points in Mexico or had taxi
en- refuge on this side. The country
about Ojinaga is mostly desert.
The defeat of the federal army fol-
lowed only a few hours fighting in
which the rebels, beginning at sun
down, started to close in on the be-
sfeged garrison with cannon and RI
fe fire.
Gen. Castro and Gen. Mercado OF
the federal regulars, saw that the
assault was to be nothing less than
massacre, as the federals only had
left fifty rounds OF ammunition for
each man. Generals Castro and
Mercado therefore gave the order to
evacuate. All the federal soldiers
/ nd their officers who could scram-
1 ole to the American side did so.
Phe others ran in all directions.
I Pascual was Looking for Peace
Gen Pascual Orozco, commander
: of federal volunteers, threatened
summary execution by Villa, was the
first to cross the border. 1t was be-
Ieved he had escaped into the noun
tains in Texas.
About 8 o'clock, when the fight
ing had been in progress about five
hours, seven wagons loaded with doc
uments belonging to the Huerta gov
ernment came over and were capt
ured by the United States border
patrol.
Major IcNamee Immediately or
dered all cavalrymen to meet all
emergency. Women, children and
wounded soldiers had been crossing
in numbers but the apparent advance
of the rebels gave reason to believe
a great rush across the border was
imminent. For five hours the sharp
flashes of the rebel fire had been seen
drawing closer to the federal en-
trenchments The whole scene was
bathed in moonlight, partly OBJ
scured by dust and powder smoke.
Almost too Many Officers
Among the federals were nine gen
erals, Castro, Mersado, Orozco, Man
uel Landa, Ynez Salazar, Antonio
Rojas. Bias Orphina, Lozaro Alavis
and Rogue Gomez.
Defeat of the federal army at thi:
point marks the most important re
bel victory of the present revolution
It leaves the rebels in possession vir
tually of all the north of Mexico.
Mercado, Castro and Landa were
the only remaining commanding o
the federal regulars. The othel
generals commanded volunteers ans
had been threatened by Villa Will
death should they be captured.
Flight Across Desert and Last Stant
of the Federals
The downfall of the Huerta gov
ernment in this vast section of Mex
ico was proceeded by a series OF dra
matte incidents. Just six weeks ago
Gen. Salvador Mercado, with hi
four thousand troops, evacuated tn
city of Chihuahua.

er and the person who has care of
! the child. The person or firm en-
ploying a child in violation of the law
which is chapter 6488, of the acts of
/ 1913, and the parent or guardian,
are both liable to a fine of not more
| than $50, and after notification by
the state labor inspector to fine of
from IS to $40 a day for each day
of continuance of such employment.
The enforcement of the law rests
with the state labor inspector. for the
most part, who is to be appointed
by the governor. for a period of four
years, at a salary of $1,000 a year
