BIG VICTORY
Gen. Mercado Surrenders to
U. S. Army Officers.
SEVERE BLOW DEALT HUERTA
The FederaIs Forced To Yield Because
OF Lack OF Ammunition-Mo
OF Federals On the
American Side.

Preside, Texas.-The Mexican fed
eral army, with it's nine generals,
evacuated Ojinaga, Mexico. after six
hours of fighting. The triumphant
rebel forces under General Francisco
Villa Immediately occupied the town.
General Salvador Mercado, who was
Huerta's chief military commander,
crossed the river and surrendered to
Major McNamee, of the United States
Army
It was impossible for Major NC
Nance to learn what had become of
the federals, whether the bulk of them
had taken refuge on this side or
whether they scattered to points in
Mexico. The country about Ojinaga is
mostly desert with little to sustain.
Later General Mercado sent over
seven wagon loads of government
documents under the escort of a
wounded lieutenant, who also brought
his personal effects.
The wagons were pulled out of the
river and taken into the United States
Army camp.
Feared a Massacre.
The defeat of the federal army fol
lowed only few hours fighting in
which the rebels, beginning at sun
down, started to close in on the be.
sieged garrison with cannon and rife
fire.
General Castro and General Mer.
cado of the federal regulars saw that
the assault was to be nothing less than
massacre. The federals had left only
SO rounds of ammunition for each man.
Generals Castro and Mercado there
fore gave the order to evacuate.
All the federal soldiers and their off.
GERS who could scramble to the Ameri.
can side did SO. The others ran in all
rections. Gen. Pascual Orozco, com.
mander of federal volunteers, threat
ened with summary execution by Villa,
was the first to cross. 1t was believed
he had escaped into the mountains OF
Texas.
Major McNamee, commanding the
United States patrol, Immediately
called out all the cavalrymen to meet
an emergency. Women, children and
wounded soldiers had been crossing in
numbers, but the apparent advance OF
the rebels turned to the very heart OF
the federal garrison, gave reason to
believe a greater rush across the Dor.
der was imminent.

DECIDES THAW
IS NOT INSANE
Commission Finds He Would
Not Be a Public Menace.
SAFE 10 GRANT HIM BAIL.
Report OF Commission Appointed BY
Federal Judge AIdrich Completes
Its inquiry and Turns
Over Report.

Concord, N. Hilary Kendall
Thaw would not be a public menace
If he were released on bail, according
to the report of the commission ap-
pointed by Federal Judge Aldrich to
inquire into the state of Thaw's men
tally. The report of the commission
finds Thaw is not now afflicted with
any of the mental diseases from which
he was suffering when he slew Stan
ford White.
SThe finding was announced Sunday.
While the commissioners say that they
have reached "a definite and positive
opinion as to the present mental con-
dition of Thaw and his probable state
of mind at the time of the homicide, :
they refrain from expressing this opin-
ion in view of their instructions from
the court not to "embarrass any sub
sequent litigation where the broad
question of insanity might be in
volved."
Upon the question of menace or
danger through the granting of bail,
we may, however, be permitted and
probably are compelled" concludes the
report, ito record our finding that,
whatever may have been the mental
condition Of Harry X. Thaw at the
time of the homicide, upon which
question we express no opinion, he
is not now suffering from any of the
forms Of mental disease alleged by
the prosecution at the time of the
trials or subsequently thereto, namely,
maniac, Oppressive insanity, paranoia,
.dementia, praecox, or delusional in
sanity. In our opinion, it is reason
ably probable that Harry Kendall
Thaw's liberty under bail would not
be dangerous or a menace to the pub
lie peace and safety"

TO SUNNY SOUTH
President Wilson Gives a Pop
uIar Reception.
PARTY OFF FOR WASHINGTON
The President Appreciative Of the
Rest the Mississipians Have
Allowed Him-An Old
Confederate.

Pass Christian, Mistakenly 1000
residents of this region paid their re-
spects to President Wilson at a pub
lie reception given especially for them
at the Presidential cottage just before
his departure for washington. Guests
were welcomed by the President and
Mrs. Wilson, who stood on the cottage
veranda in the warm, bright sunshine.
Mr.. Wilson apparently enjoyed the oc-
casion immensely, greeting with cor
dial smile those who shook hands.
incidentally, it was the first reception
under the present administration.
The president is highly appreciative
of the manner in which the residents
have scrupulously observed his desire
for seclusion and rest, and it was in
recognition of their courtesy that he
rendered the reception before his de-
parture to Washington.
Automobiles, carriages, rickety
traps, crude farm wagons, dust-cov-
cred saddle horses and crowded troll
ley cars brought eager people to the
reception. Pretty girls, aged Con-
federate veterans in gray uniforms,
mothers carrying their babies, and lit
tie children by the score crowded into
line and passed up the steps to meet
the President. A picturesque figure
among those who shook hands with
the President was Gen. A. c. Oxford,
of Birmingham. Ala, who wore a
Respondent Confederate uniform. He
left his card with the President. On
the reverse side of the card appeared
these words:
n eff ever disown, repudiate or apollo
gize for the cause for which Lee
fought and jackson died let the light
nings of Heaven rend me-"
Then there was Aunt Lucy Mar
shall, an ante-bellum negress, CARRIED
in wonderful flowing white sunbon-
net. She is 95 years old. For weeks
she has been talking about meeting the
President. And she was not to be
denied despite the fact that 1t was
generally accepted that the reception
was strictly for the white residents OF
the section. Aunt Lucy carried a pic

giving him. The old negress was ap-
plauded to the echo by the crowd on
the lawn as she bowed low In an
ancient courtesy to the President and
Mrs. Wilson.
Standing in the receiving line with
the President and Mrs. Wilson were

Miss Helen Woodrow Bones. Misses

powers, whose interests are involved.

URGES PARENTS
TO PILOT CUPID.
Prof. Johnson Would Combine
Eugenics and Romance.
STEP TOWARD BETTER RACE.
At Battle Creek Conference He IN
folds PIan--Would Not Go So
Far AS to Eliminate
Romance.

Battle Creek, Mich. Marriage selec-
ton, education for race betterment,
especially along lines of eugenics, and
the dependent child were some OF the
principal topics of discussion at the
closing session of the national confer
ence on race betterment. Among the
speakers were Prof. Roswell Hill John
son, Of the University of Pittsburgh;
Prof. Winfield Scott Hall, of North
western University, and DR.. Gertrude
e. Hall, of the State Board OF
Charities of New York.
Professor johnson urged the widest
possible range Of acquaintance for
young people, claiming that the school
and church do not offer sufficient adj
vantages in that respect. He sug-
gested the municipal dance hall as a
beneficial step in that direction.
Eugenics seek improvements in both
mental and physical racial qualities OF
future generations, he said.
'tEugenics does not eliminate rom
ance,' continued Professor Johnson.
I'VE Eugenists believe romance should
be retained.
Through the past romance has
proved good thing. In fact, we be-
lieve that it has been a powerful fac
tor in the building UP of the most val
liable traits in mans evolution.
Most people believe we are attempt
ing to produce the perfect physical
baby. Physical perfection has a GER
tain importance. of course. But physic-
ally perfect babies may be found fire.
Quently with inferior minds. Eugenics
seeks the improvement in racial quail
ties both mental and physical in
future generations of men. By racial,
we mean Unbeatable qualities.
1.-The superior stock we have is
marrying at an alarmingly low rate.
In order to advance this rate, which
must be done, it is necessary to pro-
mote the following agencies:
Let young persons of both sexes be
educated together, as they now are in
many institutions.
LET parents interest themselves in
furthering the acquaintance of eligible
friends of opposite sex, though without
throwing the young people together
too obviously and thus multiplying the
advantage.
"Let the young people be impressed
with the thought that marriage is their
ideal and normal goal of life and let
all cynical and pessimistic views of
marriage be opposed.
above all things, let young people
have the widest range of acquaintance
possible.
Teach the young man that mere
physical beauty, except insofar as it
indicates physical wellbeing, trivial
mental qualities such as vivacity and
a forced and feeble attempt at wit,
and devotion to stylish dressing are
very subordinate.
Let the young people see that they
are marrying for long period, that in
such circumstances fiashy and as
sumed characteristics are negligible;
that they must keep watch against too
great a play of mere beauty and
vivacity upon the emotions in opposi-
ton to more worthy characteristics,
for there is very slight chance for
reason after love actually exists"
