cd with drunken. disorderly crowds.
"My life and Mexican independence
will end at one and the same time;
will fight to the end" said Genera
Huerta today.
There is a feeling here of sus-
pense, anxiety, discomfort, and even
of revolt. Conditions seem to be full
of dark presages.
Huerta, the admirably strong willed
and intrepid Indian, by accepting the
offer of mediation shows that he is
ready to bow to the decision Of the
sister republics. But the decision OF
the mediators should be immediate il
it is to have any influence in pre-
venting new and immense tragedies.

WINS BATTLE WITH SEA BAT
Fourteen Feet Across the Back, II
lowed a Gasoline Launch for
Six Hours.

Mobile, ALA great sea bat
weighing more than ton was cap
tured in Mobile bay by Thomas G.
Cairns Of Birmingham after al all-day
battle, and Is men hauled ii out at
Bayou la Batre. 1t had towed DOW
erful gasoline launch for six hours.
The fish was IA feet across the back
and ten feet six inches from the mouth
to the beginning of the tail. Though
it was not weighed, old fishermen be-
lieve that it is the largest specimen
ever landed in the Gulf of Mexico. The
other one caught near Mobile weighed
$500 pounds, it is said. This was so
years ago.
Mr.. Cairns says that the fish was
sighted off Dauphin island in the
early morning. The launch was
driven alongside and harpoon thrown
into the fish. The harpoon was at
tached to 600 feet of one-quarter inch
sash cord. The fish towed the 18-foot
launch occupied by Mr. Cairns and the
poatman, developing high rate OF
speed. Several times when the fish
would come to the surface Mr.. Cairns
would fire at it with 3S-caliber re-
volver. but with apparently no effect
Finally, late in the afternoon, the
fish was tired out and towed along
side the tug Laura. Next morning the
Lanura towed the launch and the devil
fish into Bayou la Batre. Mr.. Cairns
says the harpoon lines were put over
the stern of the launch and the en-
CINE run ahead for six hours in an
effort to tire out the monster.
When Bayou la Batre was reached
it required rs men to haul the monster
up on the beach. No scales large
enough to weigh the fish were available
at Bayou la Batre, but old fishermen
guessed the weight of the monster,
sometimes called a sea bat, at more
than 1000 pounds.
