 cies of the Times.

Philadelphia Jan. 2f.--Former Pres ident Taft called halt tonight in the nov ement toward -'purer democracy and greater social and individual free dom In 8 speech at the commence ment exercises of a local business col- lege- he arraigned impractical reform ers' and "demagogues" who seek to arouse class consciousness. He took issue with the tendency to inject more democracy into educational methods, and declared that the spread of 'lu- bricity'' in litreature, on the stage, and indirectly in education was a danger to the young men and women of the country.
 Speaking of attempts to cure defects in education by more democracy. he said:
 We have had the ridiculous exhibi- tion of school children striking be- cause some favorite principal was transferred to another school, and ke find the newspapers stimulating such movements and weak minded parents looking with pride upon the courage and enterprise of their offspring. In my day. and that is not so long age, such children if they had gone home would have been properly treated with a spanking"

HuERrA MAY RETIRE.
Rumor That He Will Select De La
 5srra to Succeed Him.

Vera Cruz, Jan. 2f-The former Mexican minister to the interior, Jesus Flores Aiagon. had a second confer ence with John Lind, President Wil- sons personal envoy, last night, and then proceeded to a town nearby. first informing MT. Lind that he desired to confer with him further before return ing to the Mexican capital.
 While Mir. Lind reiterates his state ment that the conference was without political significance and that he has not been infornsed that Senor Magon is acting as the representative of President Huerta, it may be said that the ex-minister is the latest and most important of several prominent Mex jeans to visit Vera Cruz recently and converse with MT. Lind, all of whom, it is believed, have represented Presi- dent Huerta, although without any semblance of official character.
 The belief is held in authoritative quarters here that President Huerta feels that the time has come to learn what terms he may make with Presi- dent Wilson, and the runor is current that President Huerta intends 70 ap- point Francis de la. Barra chief of his cabinet he himself resigning in the lauter's favor.

Beardsley Now
 Behind the Bars

 TEL-KEEPER.
PROTESTED AT FIRST
Yielded Quietly When He Discovered
 That His captor Was Aggressive Wounded Woman Taken to Hospital.

Mayville, N. r.. Jan. 21.-Edward Beardsley, the defiant outlaw of yes terday, is tonight a meek, mild-man- nered little man behind the bars in the county jail here. and the farmhouse on the hill near Summerdale inywhich he held out for eight days against Sheriff Anderson and his deputies is untenanted. Beardsiey's capture. made by Charles D. Backus, a hotel man of Mayville. was a pre-arranged affair, and although Beardsley demur- red against surrender at the last mo- ment, he submitted quietly when Backus made the first aggressive move toward him.
 Children Taken to Hotel.
 Beardsley will be arraigned tomor- row or Saturday on a charge of assault with intent to kill, lodged against him by the district attorney. Poormaster John G. w. Putnam, the victim of the shooting affray which produced the week of siege ana barley, is reported to be recovering, and it is unlikely that Beardsley will be compelled to face a more serious charge.
 This afternoon at o'clock two large sleds were driven up to the BeardsIey home. The nine children and Grand ma Austin were bundled into one and driven to a Mayville hotel, where they will remain until tomorrow, when the children will be taken to Titusville I Beardsley, a brother of the Summer dale man.
 Mrs. Pier Taken to Hospital.
 In the second sled Charles E. Dodge, county superintendent of the poor, took Mrs. Edna Pier to the county hospital. She is a sister of Edith Austin whom Beardsley calls his wife, and the mother of five of the nine children in the Beardsley household. Mrs. Pier is suffering from 8 severe but not necessarily dangerous wound in the leg. the result of the accidental discharge of revolver on Sunday evening. Beardsley refused to allow doctor to dress the wound. If blood poisoning does not set in she win re- cover rapidiq.
 Backus Makes Arrest Single Handed.
 BeardsIey's so-ealled capture occur red at 4 o'clock this morning. He had previously 3greedsto= go into MayVille with his captor, Charles D. Backus. He wanted to defy Sheriff Anderson to the end, he said.
 Backlis drove to the house unac- con1panied and called Beardsley to the window. He came, armed. lie de- murred at first, saying he feared the deputies would fire on him Backus grabbed him by the arm and told him there could be no backing down. Beardsley wilted. He allowed Backus to come into the house and gather up his ammunition. Backus permitted Beardsley to carry the unloaded rifle until they reached Mayville. There Sheriff Anderson was notified and a deputy took Beardsley to the jail.

 tee Gets Another Assignment.

Washington, Jan 21.-An echo of the Carabao banquet, at which the ad- ministration's Philippine policy was ridiculed here last month, was heard at the navy department today, when Secretary Daniels revoked an order as- signing Rear Admiral Thomas B. How ard to command the Asiatic fleet, suc- ceeding Rear Admiral Reginald F. Nicholson. Instead Admiral Howard will relieve Rear Admiral W. c. Cowles, commanding the American squadron off the Pacific Mexican coast, and Admiral Cowles will take com mand of the Asiatic fleet
 Admiral Howard was chairman of the Carabao dinner committee, and with the other members, high army and navy officers, was reprimanded at the direction of President Wilson after an investigation of the travesties and songs which featured the military so- ciety's, banquet.
 Under the circumstances we did not want to send Admiral Howard to the Philippines said Secretary Dan- iels today. But as we have every confidence in him, we did not want to give him a command that would in any way appear to be a. punishment, so we decided to send him to the Pacific Mexican squadron. This arrangement is entirely satisfactory to Admiral Howard

ASSAULT ON TORREON
Villa Declares He Will Have Force of 15.ooo and FederaIs Won't Last Long -Another Resignation Runor.

Chihuahua, Mexico, Jan 21.-'1t will be soon shown that the United States has not waited in vain in the belief that the Huerta government is slowly crumbling," said General Francisco Villa. today.
 With the northern division of the Huerta army imprisoned in the United States and with General Jose Refugio Velasco's troops trembling at Torreon, the only point they now hold in the north, it will not be long before the usurper Huerta will be swept away by public opinion.
 Popular Opinion Aids Rebels.
 At first it was only our arms that brought us victories, but now the peo- pie of Mexico are convinced of the seriousness of the revolution. We are finding that popular approval is as ef- fective as bullets.
 "But we are not forgetting that bull lets are still necessary. The fighting will continue.
 'I am convinced that the prospective battle near Torreon will knock another prop from under the tottering throne of Huerta. Once we go south of Tor reon, every city between us and Mex ico City will fall.
 "The federals will not last long at Torreon. We are going to approach them with an army of 15,000, the larg est revolutionary corps called togeth- CT in this revolution. We shall bonn bard the federals with thirty cannon. forty machine guns and hand gIfen- ades.
 Villa to Lead Assault
 We already are concentrating our troops north of Torreon. I will lead the assault General Toribio Ortega will be second jn command. The at tacking line will be reinforced by troops at Jiminez and other points along the railroad"
