Crisis for Newman
is Reported Passed

That the crisis is passed in the case
OF w. G. Newman and that the patient
now has better than an even chance
to recover, was the news received
here this morning, though kilograms
yesterday evening stated that his con-
dition was rapidly growing worse and
that the end was but matter of mo-
ments. His relatives here left yester-
day afternoon for Bowie.
Since his attempted suicide last Fri
day, Mr. Newman has made desper-
ate fight for life, with the odds wayer-
ing for and against him. Up to noon
yesterday he appeared to be improv-
ing, but at that time message came
stating that he was sinking and that
the end would undoubtedly come be-
fore night. In the evening he rallied
to certain extent, but during the
night two messages came, one at II
O'Clock and one at 3 o'clock this morn
ing. The first stated that his rally
was but brief and that he was going
fast. The second stated that he was
still alive, but that the spark of life
was family flickering.
News of his death was expected this
morning, but in its place came word
that he had lived through the crisis
and was much improved. The doctor
stated that the fact that ae had sur
vived during last night pointed strong
ly toward his recovery.

March 24-vThe rebels on the Mex
lean Pacific coast are moving against
Mazatlan in considerable force, but
whether it is the usual bluff or plan
for a formal attack no one seems to
know.
The federal gunboat Tampico.

rebels. will play only small part
in the attack When its crew mutt
MED en- route from Guaymas and
Topoiobampo and forced the captain
to bring the vessel into Topolopampo
and turn it over to the rebels. It
was thought the aid of this gunboat
would speedily bring about the sur
render of Guaymas and Mazatlan to
the rebels, but the Tampico had on
board only thirty tons OF coal, not
enough to put to sea with.
The federals still have two gum
boats on this coast

BOARD RECOMMENDS
CITY PENSION FUND.
CITY ATTORNEY TO DRAW MEAS
URE TO BE PRESENTED TO
COUNCIL THROUGH MAYOR.

The administrative board yesterday
directed the city attorney to prepare
lan ordinance creating the City En-
ploye's Pension Bureau" which will
be presented to council through the
mayor.
The idea OF such bureau originated
several years ago in the mind Of Coun-
Gilman Morgan r. Mills. Later 1t was
taken up by Commissioner Hirsch-
berg, and committees of council, as
we'll as the administrative board, have
approved the plan.
1t Is suggested that all city employees
who may become incapacitated while
in the service of the city, after hav-
ing served twenty years, may be placed
on the pension roll, to receive not
more than $50 a month. to be graded
according to the line of service.
This fund will not conflict with those
already in existence in the fire and po-
lice departments.
