iano Zapata is here, and at the sugges-
ton of Secretary Bryan has laid be-
fore President Wilson and the state
department information intended to
controvert statements tina tZapata is

are horde Of free hooters. The
statement asked that in any settle
ment of the Mexican problem full con-
sideration be given to the Zapatistas

revolution. The Zapatistas assert that

ment in the most thickly settled por
ton of Mexico, containing IS per cent.
of all the population; that Zapata has
an army of about $1,000 men, and con-
trolls the states of Morelos and Guer-
rero and parts of Puebla, Guanajuto,
Mexico and the federal district. The

poses and were working in concert.

important to Mothers
Ravaqed Eastern Coast.

One hundred years ago the British
blockaders were committing many
depredations along the New England
coast, Their method was to land boat
crews from the vessels at nightfall,
surprise the Inhabitants of one of the
smaller towns, and after plundering
the storehouses and burning the ship
ping at the wharves, retreat to their
boats before the villagers fully COM
pretended the blow that had fallen
upon them. Such occurrences took
place at many of the coast towns and,
in most cases, the militia proved pow
erless to check the enemy. All up and
down the New England coast, from
Maine to the mouth Of the Connect
cut river, the people were kept in a
state bordering on panic during the
greater part of the summer of 1914.

At the conclusion of the session Chair
man Harlan announced the hearing

the Cincinnati, Hamilton and Dayton
had proved a heavy burden, but in
sisted that the Baltimore and Ohio
had been fully justified in all advanc-

His testimony showed that since the

1914, the Baltimore and Ohio had
made cash advances to the Cincinnati,
Hamilton and Dayton of $21,9S9,4O5.

Washington.-Procl before
great audience of scientists from many
cities as the "discoverer of a river in
South America 1000 miles long," Colo
mel Theodore Roosevelt assured the
National Geographic Society that he
had put this river on the map and
challenged all the photographers in
the world to disprove his achievement
The colonel had appeared before
Washington audience on previous
occasion as an explorer, but never as
discoverer and he was cheered to
the echo as he declared the carto-
graphers and geographers of all ma
lions were wrong in their maps of the
wilds Of Brazil, wherein he found and
traced the "Duvida river" or, as now
more Familiarity known, the River of
Doubt Scientists, the colonel de-
clared, had attempted to dispute his
discovery. Tracing on a blackboard
with a piece of chalk the river of his
finding, he declared emphatically: Il
say we put it on the map, and l
mean what 1 say. No map has ever
yet shown this river. Scientists have
said we might have traversed the
river Tapajos, or the river Madeira,
but the fact is that some of our party
went down one river and some went
down the other, while we went down a
river in between them which no map
maker ever saw. | can direct any
man where to find this river, and

we have made may be verified"
