FUNSTON TO QUIT

Transfer of Vera Cruz to Car

Assurances.

Washington, Sept. p. Evacuation OF
Vera Cruz by the American military
forces will not be delayed any longer
than it takes for the settlement OF
number Of questions regarding the
transfer Of authority from General
Fuuston to General Aguilar, who has
been designated by Carranza to take
charge Of the district.
Secretary Garrison said to-day that
the transports will arrive at Vera cruz
the latter part of this week, and That
i'm the meantime he expected that the
Department of State would reach an
agreement with the Carranza govern
ment regarding the revenue collected
by General Funston. lie said that the
is also anxious 10 have

chants and others who nave already
paid duty and taxes to General Fun

Unless requested by foreign powers,
the United State: will not look after
any refugees except Americans who
are in need, according to Mr.. Garrison.
He said that the request for the relief
of the priests and nuns, numbering
about four hundred, and described as
in peril, will be given if they are Amer
leans, and in any event representations
for their protection will be made to
CarrarZa.

THAT HALF-SAW BAYONET
Only an Ingenious Combination of
Tools, Says a German.

To the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: In to-day's Tribune there is an
article by Richard Harding Davis,
headed, "iIalf-Saw Bayonet in German
Trench" "a which the author charac-
terizes this "bayonct' as "the most
crewsome weapon Of war issued to a
civilized army
This. like so many other statements
regarding the "brutality' Of the Ger
man army. is based on utter ignorance
of the real facts. The writer of this
has served as OnC-year man IN the
German army, from 1878 to 1879. Al
ready at that time. thirty-siX years
ago, this object with the saw which
Mr.. Davis describes in his article eX-
listed indeed in the German army, but
for an entirely different purpose than
tearing the flesh and splintering the
bones" as Mr.. Davis tries TO make his
readers believe. The bayOnet, as such,
was abolished in the German army I'M
mcdiately after the Franco German
War In order to simplify the equip
ment of the infantry soldier as much
as possible and reduce the weight of
his ornaments. the short sabre, which
the infantry soldier carries on his left
side, was, by spring at its end, ar
ranged so that it could be attached to
the gun and serve as Il bayonct. This
double purpose Of the infantry sabre
the "seitengewehv." has been main
tanned ever since in the German army
In the cndcavor 10 simplify the ar
mameut still more, third purpose was
given to a certain number Of these par
ticu!ar arms. In every company GER
tain number Of men must carry spades,
piCka-ca and other tools, for the con-
s,ruct.on of trenches and other work
H. he field. A saw is, of course,
YER. necessary tool for this kind Of
work, and it is for that purpose, and
not as weapon at all, that this
"seitcaccwehr" has, at the back Of the
blade. the teeth of a saw. When this
arm is used as a bayonet the saw does
not come into play az all. As every
one knows, the bayonet is used for
stabbing and nothing else. The teeth
of the saw beginning only at a dis
lance OF at least ten TO twelve inches
from the point. they cannot possibly
enter the wound.
This German "seitengewehr." which
is in use now since about forty years.
is a very ingenious device, answering
three different purposes that of a
hand weapon, a bayonet and a saw for
work in the field. Like everything else
in the German army, it is very prac-
teal, and the alarm about the brutal
ity Of the German army is Just as
malevolent and unfounded in this as in
every other case.

Byrnes Not to Run for GOvernOrship.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Represen-
tative J. F. Byrnes of the Secon1 1
South Carolina congressional district,
who has been mentioned several
times recently as probable candi-
date for governor of South Carolina
and whose name appeared in this
connection in a paper a day or two
ago, stated positively to-day that he
had no such idea at the present
time, although it is true, he said, that
he had been approached on the sub
ject recently.
When Mr.. Byrnes was seen at the
capitol and asked the specific ques-
ton as to whether or not he would
become candidate for governor, and
whether there was any truth in the
rumors which during the past day or
two have become current, he unhesi-
tatingly said that such rumors could
be denied at the present time.
He also said that he is a candidate
to succeed himself in the Sixty-fourth
congress, and for the present he will
centre his energies on returning to
the house of representatives and not
on filling the Office of governor of
South Carolina. Today there was con-
siderable interest from the gossip
about this matter here among South
Carolinians, but the statement just
made would appear to dispose of it
effectually.

Wanted Uncle to Kill Mother.

Galesburg, ILL.,, Jan. 20.-Prosecu-
ton of 15-year-old Julia Flake for
participation in the conspiracy which,
it is charged, resulted in the murder
of her mother by Robert Higgins, the
stepfather, will not be pushed too
harshly because of her youth, States
Attorney Wilson said to-day.
LAS for Higgins-well, that's diff
ferent,' he added.
The alleged conspiracy, terminal
ing in the murder of Mrs. Higgins on
January ), the movements of Higgins
and of his step-daughter and their
confessions disclosing their infatua-
ton form almost the only topic Of
conversation in this neighborhcod.
The attitude of the girl toward her
mother, as shown by two letters
which she wrote, is beyond the COM
prehension of county officials. G. w.
Ernst, of Galesburg. brother of Mrs.
Higgins, and on bad terms with her,
was offered pay to kill Mrs. Higgins.
This was in a letter written by the
giA last November from North Hen
derson, the home of the Higginses. In
October, knowing of the differences
between Ernst and his sister, Julia,
it is alleged, wrote to Ernst's daugh-
ter, Marie, saying: Il wonder il
your father is still of the same notion
of killing mother If he is I wish he
would hurry and do it, as I am get
ting awful tired"
Ernst asked Julia if she was crazy.
After the supposed accidental killing
of Mrs. Higgins he gave the letters
to the county authorities. Higgins
slept soundly last night and awoke
with an appetite for breakfast He is
in Jail at Aledo and his step-daugh-
ter is under surveillance there at the
home of her uncle. Gus Flake.
