Evans, Jr., of Chicago
And Weber OF To-
ledO Lose Out in
4th Round
Harold Hilton, Holder Of Title,
Also Defeated by SCoiChman

Sandwich, Eng, May 21.-Charles w.
Evans, Jr.. of Chicago, and Harold
Weber of Toledo, the only two Amer
lean players who had fought their
way to the fourth round of the Brit
ish amateur golf championship. met
defeat today at the hands of two
Seetsmen, c. B. MaeFarlane and Cap
tain Cecil X Hutchinson, respectively
Harold H. Hilton, the holder of the
title, shared their fate, being beaten
by Edward Blackwell, another promi-
nent Scottish player.
Neither of the Americans looked like
winner at any period of eoday's
matches. with one exception, when Ev
ans made a splendid effort in the last
third of the round. He had, however,
already handicapped himself too heav-
lily to make his revival anything more
than a forlorn hope.
MacFarlane had virtually won at the
turn, where he had secured lead of 5
up with a wonderful card of 81 for the
nine holes. His play was uncannily per
feet throughout.
Evans was laid half stymie on the
ninth and was twice bunkered on the
homeward journey. Except for OCCASION
al hooked drives, he played good enough
golf, but few players could have lived
after the machine-like precision of Mac
Farlane. who drove well, kept good
line and sent the ball down with 10, 15
and N-yard puts with remarkable certi-
Itude.
On the homeward journey Evans start
ed by winning the 10th. but he lost the
following two. Then the American pull
ed himself together and scored hole after
hole until he had brought MacFarlane's
lead down to three with three still to
go. The Chicagoan, however, lost the
18th and match by four down and two
to play.
The defeat of Weber was equally con-
elusive. Hutchinson made the turn three
up and the match ended at the 18th hole
with the American player six down.
The fall of Hilton added immensely to
Edward BlackwelTs reputation. They
We're all square at the 11th and again at
the 18TH Blackwell took the 10th and
at the 18th Hilton, taking three puts,
gave up the hole and the match.

Diego, Cal, May 21-An army Of 5000
Constitntionalists having occupied Topic
with loss of 400 killed and an unknown
number of casualties among the FEEDER
ais, has begun Its advance on Gnadala-
jara. In advance of the moving troops, a
flying squadron of cavalry is working
destruction tot he Huerta lines of COM
munication, its main object being the
Gripping of the railroad from Mazanillo
to Guadalajara.
The capture of Topic was accomplished
after bloody struggle. Although the
losses of the Federals are uncertain, it is
known 200 of them were taken prisoners.
Mazatlan is In a state of panic today.
Back of the city the Constitutionalists
are closing in, and the terror of their
approach is augmented by the presence
in the ranks of 700 Indians in war paint,
whose excuses in the event of the city S
fall, it is feared. the white leaders will
be unable to curb.
A new cause of apprehension to the
Mexicans is the arrival of the cruiser
South Dakota from Acapulco with her
force of marines. This has been vari-
ously interpreted by the natives and the
fear of an American seizure has spread
throughout the city.

straight course from Seguin Island
to Cape Ann.
The Defiance will remain here today
without making any attempt at sail
trial and tomorrow an early start will
be made for the trip around Cape Cod.
If the weather is boisterous the fleet
Will put in. to Proyincetown.
Every effort will be made to round
the Cape in quick time as there is no

Niagara Falls, May 21.-There
is feeling on the part of the
principals of the mediation conference
here that the savage advance of the
Constitutionalist army under General
Villa inevitably must have bearing
upon the settlement of the difficulties
between the United States and Huer-

road. For over an hour, with tired
horses, they kept up a running battle
with the rebels. Twenty seven to five
are big odds. but had it not been for
the fact that the Mexicans, as a rule,
are exceedingly poor marksmen, Young
Caller and his brother would not have
been around to tell the story. William

killed under him, but the pack mule
was pressed into service and kept in
the running. The branch of the road
into three smaller ones was a turn
ing point in the road, and it likewise
meant a turning point in the lives of
the young men, for instead of taking
the road to Tuxpan as the Mexicans
would naturally have supposed they
would, they took a byway that led
off to a Jungle. They reached the top
of high hill in time TO see the Mexi-

way in and out of the Tuxpan road

side and that 1t was for that reason
his candidacy had not been opposed.

so far that he is determined the en-
tire Mexican question must be solved
and that no halfway measures or

Evacuation of SaltiIIo
While the mediation negotiations
Were developing today, the Constitu-
tionalists campaign was vigorously in
progress. Senior Zuburan, Gen. Car
ranza's Washington representative, re-
ceived an official message announcing
the evacua ton of Saltillo. 1t gave no
details concerning the retreating gar
risen, estimated at some 1000 men,
but it was believed here that the Fed
erals were retreating on San Luis Po-
tosi whittier the Federals who evacu-
ated Tampico and Tupan were under
stood to be making their way. The
Constitutional force which captured
Tampico has withdrawn from Tampi-
CO. except for a small garrison, and Is
hurrying by railroad back to Monter-
ey to participate in the general cam
paign against Huerta's strongholds In
central Mexico.
The Constitutionalist campaign on the
Pacific coast seemed also making pro-
gress. Part of Gen. Obregon's force was
reported advancing against Guadalajara
and dispatches to the navy department
reported heavy volley firing at Mazatlan
and an artillery engagement at Guaya-
mas.
May Return to Tampico
Two diplomatic features of the day
were a report from the British consult at
Tampico that foreigners might safely re-
turn to the oil fields. and a request from
for the good offices of the United States
in inducing the Constitutionalist author
tiles to accept $l5 a bale for the deliv-
cry OF some 500. 0o0,o 900 worth of cotton
confiscated from Spanish growers at
Torreon and elsewhere.
The state department has put it's ma
chinery into motion to discover the
whereabouts of a person described as a
messenger for Admiral Fletcher who dis
appeared more than a week ago from
Vera Cruz. There was some mystery
about this messenger; no one in Wash
ington knows what was the message, if
any, with which he was charged by Ad-
an American. Secretary Daniels cabled
Admiral Fletcher today for further de-
tails in this case

an armistice to continue during the
sessions. it was stated that he con-
ference would proceed to a conSidera-
ton of questions growing out of the
Tampico incident and subsequent
causes of irritation between the Mex
lean Federal army and the American
military forces. Official reports COM
ing yesterday from Constitutionalist
sources reciting the victories of Villa
and his army in the Saltillo campaign
have convinced the Mexican represen-
tative here that Huertas foes cannot
be stopped. Moreover, the execution of
a Federal general and his entire staff
by Villa has impressed upon them
the fact that the leaders Of the Fed
eral army cannot hope for mercy if
they fall into the hands OF the Con-
stitutionalists.
May Force Huerta's Hand
That the weakening situation of the
Federal forces may force Huertas
hand is recognized here. The Mexican
delegates came here believing that any
announcement of Huertas attitude to-
ward proposals looking to a settlement
of the Mexican trouble would be left
to them to announce and their strong
est card was believed to be authority
given by -Huerta to agree to his eff
Placement conditional upon the selection
of a temporary government accepta
BILE to the interests represented by
him.
All this has been changed by Villas
successes.
Tho Federal forces Tuesday exhib-
tied no love of fight and the leaders
are not expected to offer the stubborn
resistance that marked so many Of
the engagements With the army stead
lily advancing upon the Mexican cap
ital. AS a result Huerta's supporters
fear that he may not dare await the
outcome of the mediation. 1t was be-
cause of this feeling that all princi
pals of the conference yesterday &C
cepted unhesitatingly dispatch from
Mexico City saying that Huerta had
himself confirmed reports that he was
willing to retire If his resignation was
necessary to peace. Later il was
learned that there had been an error
in transmission and Huerta had not
authorized such q statement but this
did not materially change the situa-
announcement was not unexpected.
Keeping Villa from Capital
If Villa and his forces are kept out
of Mexico City, according to belief
here, 1t will not be because Huerta is
strong enough to deny entrance to
his enemies. Such an advent can be
avoided, it is said, by speedy solution
of the problem confronting the A. B.
C. mediators, and few believe this to
be possible, except through the prompt
and complete capitulation Of Huerta
to all of the demands of the Washing
ton government With solution Of
this problem and the republics of Cen
trail and South America In accord
concerning the future policy Of Mex
leo, the mediators believe that Car
rama, Villa and their associates would
subscribe to their findings and blood
shed would end.
With the arrival at midnight Of
Eduardo Suarez, the Chilean minis
ter. who had been delayed in his jour
ney from Washington, the mediation
conference was ready to proceed to-
day with its personnel completed.

at the seventh National Apple Show
which will be held in Spokane Novem-
Der 16 to 81.
Reservations have been made by
the horticultural departments of
Washington State College, University
of Idaho, Oregon Agricultural College
and University of Montana.
Manager Gordon c. Corbaley has
extended special privileges to these
schools, and their exhibits will be To-
Gated at the left of the main entrance
to the big show. They will utilize
over 5000 square feet of space with
graphic illustrations of the horticul-
tural work done by their respective
institutions.
Each school will have special repre-
sentatives on the ground to explain
exhibits and answer questions of the
growers. Many of the men in charge
will take part in the discussions of
the fruit products congress, furnishing
lectures and special talks on different
orchard problems.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1914-11-06

The word "person" has had an
interesting history. Signifying by
etymology something to make 8.
sound through, the Latin persona"
began by meaning an actors mask
with its mouthpiece. Then it meant
the character represented by the
player-"dramatis personae." Then
it came to mean the part or charac-
ter one sustains in real life, and so
the persona ecclesiae," the man
who represented the church, be-
came known as a "person" in spe-
cial sense and was eventually spell
ed as "parson." On The other hand,
"person" faded away to mean just
anybody.

A situation gratifying to the taxpayers
of the state is found in the biennial re-
port OF Land Commissioner Clark V.
Savidge, disclosing the fact that, though
a greater range of activity was covered
than ever before, Mr.. Savidge will turn
back into the state treasury 1870 Of
the amount appropriated by the state
legislature in 1918 for the maintenance
of his Office. This is the first time that
the expenses have been low enough to
permit Of any part Of the appropriation
reverting to the state at the close OF a
biennium. In estimating his needs
for the coming two years, Mr.. Savidge
will ask the legislature for $4,000 less
than the last appropriation. Much oil
this saving is made possible by the re-
organization of the Office and the in
stallation OF modern business methods.
The total collections Of the Office
during the pass two years, ending Sept.
80. were $159.474.90.

EXPERTS CHOSEN
TO JUDGE APPLES
Bateham, Hamilton and Thorn
Der Will Pick Winners at
Annual Spokane Show.

The committee of judges for the
seventh National Apple Show to be
held in Spokane the week of Noyem-
Der IS, has been announced as fol-
lows: A. p. Bateham, former presi-
dent of the Oregon Horticultural So
ciety, senior Judge; Charles Hamilton,
of North Yakima, chief inspector for
the North Pacific Fruit Distributors,

ties that will be entered in competi-
ton. A new departure in judging will
be put in practice this year. All rib
bons will be up, if possible, after the
second day of the show, and for the
first time in the history of the show
the score cards as made up by the
judges will be tackled up with the
competing exhibits for public exam

will add materially to the educational
value of the competitions, and exhib-
itors as well as the general public will
be. given an opportunity of seeing
where the blue ribbon winners ex-
celled.
