day Morning

it is thought, because of the desertion
by her husband, an Italian woman by
the name of Mrs. Baird was found Tues
day morning lying IN the Wilkins swamp
ON the Benjamin farm in the town of
Mount Holly by George Flanders, who
was attracted to the spot by the
woman's means. 1t is probable that she
had been in the woods sine early Sunday
morning when she disappeared from her
home on the Foster place, where she
lived with her husband and two chill
dren, one two years old and the other
an infant of six months.
According to 0verseer of the Poor
Harry Hill the case had not ben re-
ported to the states attorney but the
selectmen were investigating
Mr.. Hill said last night he understood
that Baird, who had been working as
chopper, left home Saturday night and
did not return. Nothing has been seen
OF him since. The fact of his going caused
Mrs Baird to leave home early Sunday
morning and she remained in the woods
until found Tuesday morning.
She was removed to the home of Mr..
Flanders where she was cared for last
night. The children are in charge of
another family living in the Foster
house
A physician was called Tuesday to at
tend Mrs. Baird and it was his opinion
that the woman had been exposed to

tirely of wood.
No one works in the wheel house. but

of S4.7o.

Before Judge H. w. Scott in city court
Yesterday afternoon, Ernest Gilbert, an
Is year old Graniteyille chauffeur, plead
ed guilty to a charge of running a car
without a rear light. The court fined
him SO and costs of S4.70 which were
paid. Young Gilbert incurred official dis
pleasure Tuesday night at 1880 o'clock
when he circled around the streets with
out so much as a dim twinkle radiating
from the rear of his touring car. He was
apprehended by Officer John w. Dineen
and later arrested on complaint regis
tered against him by Grand Juror Will
liam Wishart. Gilbert told the court
be had been trying to adjust the tail
light for two weeks but had met with
Indifferent success or worse, when the
officer held him up.
The second case OF alleged neglect in
the matter of burning rear lights came
up in court late this forenoon, when

was arraigned on a charge which speci-
fies that he failed to keep the tail light
OF his car running while returning from

a four-aet drama dealing with the lives
of rich couple in high society, proved
to be very interesting as well as in
structing piece.
The cast, all carefully assigned to
parts most suited to their abilities,
should receive a large share of credit
for the manner in which the play went
off. Perhaps to the able direction of
Rev. Hugh McKenna and Max Fisher,
who have both given OF their time and
talent, lies the greatest bulk of the hon
ors, for under their direction every de-
tail was carefully worked out, and the
acting of the personnel reflected on the
training they had experienced.
One could not be justified in referring
to any as individual stars, for each and
every one was at his best. However, it
might be well to mention something re-
gardng the acting of James Mackie, who
had the most difficult part to imperson-
ate and who certainly did credit to it..
Mr. Mackie's experience in former years
was a great help to him and he por
trayed the leading part successfully.
Miss Sue Nichols, the other leading mem
Der, was also very good and she carried
her part through to the liking of all.
The club is TO be congratulated on its
success and last nights undertaking
clearly shows that the members can
uphold the name they are working un-
der and that they have also made firm
foothold in local theatrical circles.
Between the acts musical trio. COM
posed of James Bennett, Charles Gibbons
and John Duncan, gave something of a
comicaI musicale and Mr.. Duncan's per-
forming was a great factor in producing
the laughs They gave several selections
for which they received loud applause.
Henry Carroll also sang ballad and he,
too was well received.
The cast of characters was comprised
of the following: Emily Eastwick. Miss
Sue Loretta Nichols; Frank Eastwick,
James Mackie; Vivian Kirk Patrick Jo-
seph Hale Robert Chalmers, Daniel J.
Sullivan; Tom Gresham, Henry Carroll;

HUERTA's SITUATION DESCRIBED.
Practically Entire Country of Mexico Is
with Rebels.

Vera Cruz, June 4.-Captain w. A.
Burnside, formerly military attache at
Mexico City and now intelligence officer
Of Brigadier General FIInston's force,
submitted memorandum yesterday on
the strength and disposition of Huerta' S
troops and summarizing the territorial
division between the federals and the
constitutonalists. He estimates the to-
tai number of Huerta forces, including
police students and civil service en-
ployes. at $4,000. The memorandum says
that the estimates are liberal.
As to the constitutionalists the note
says:
Practically the entire country is in
sympathy with revolution, and the paci-
fled condition in many places is due to
intimidation or indifference. For the
purpose of robbery and the appropriation
of property probably 100000 armed men
claim themselves to be revolutionists.
However, the armed revolutionists hav-
ing an organization and being actually
under fair control of their leaders are
estimated at about 10000"

at Mexico City numbers $4,000, includ-
ing students and government employees.
The estimate is made of only 5000 regu-
lars in the capital.
The strongest federal garrisons of
5000 each, are at San Luis Potosi and
Aguascalientes, with 5000 at Guayamas.
No Force Near Vera Cruz.
The estimates show no considerable
Huerta forces in the immediate vicinity
of Vera Cruz.
The memorandum states that little
military activity or efficiency can be ex-
pected from the eonstitutionalists at
Tampico and Tuxpan because they are
not led as ably as those directly under
Villa.
According to the reports received,
Guayamas, Mazatlan, San Luis Potosi
and Zacatecas are the only federal gar
risons north of the 22d parallel. They
merely hold the towns, controlling lit
tie of the surrounding territory, The.
routed garrisons OF Torreon, Saltillo,
Monterey and Tampico are believed to be
concentrating at San Luis Potosi.

improbable that any sweeping general

Depends on Nature of Car

ators' Note
LATTER MAY ENTER
IN DIGNIFIED WAY
As Yet No Reply Has Been
Received from Rebel
Chief

Niagara Falls, Ont, June Awhile
waiting to hear from General Carranza
whether he would send delegates to the
conferences, the mediators planned to-
day to continue such work as would not
be affected by the answer of the con-
stitutionalists. The feeling is general
that the attitude taken by Carranza in
reply will shape the entire course OF
mediation hereafter and perhaps have a
direct effect on the Washington govern
ment's future policy toward the two
Mexican factions.
The mediators' note is believed to
have been phrased so that the consti-
tutionalists can find therein digniied
way of entering the negotiations, not
withstanding their previous objections.
Publication of the message of the me-
diators was withheld here until General
Carranza has determined upon his reply
Rafael Zubaran, minister of the interior
in Carranza's ca abinet and at the head OF
the constitutionalist agency in Wash
ington. would not discuss the nature of
the mediators' proposals or the probable
attitude of his chief. Persons in touch
with constitutionalst agents, however
ventured the suggestion that the terms
upon which the mediators proposed to
receive the constitutionalists into the
peace negotiations would be declined.
The note from the mediators, ad-
dressed to Mr.. Zubaran, reached Wash
ington in the afternoon in special de-
livery letter. Mr. Zubaran, Mr.. Nascon-
celos and Mr.. llrquidi of the constitu-
tionalist agency, Immediately began
preparations to communicate with Gen
eral Carranza at Durango by a special
telegraph wire. When the message of
the mediatiors had been forwarded tele-
graphic conferences with their chief

nounced early in the evening that he
hoped to have some conclusive informa-
tion later. In that event, it was prob
able that there would be made public the
message from the mediators. together
with an answer, if there was to be any,
and also the original note from the
constutionalists which called forth the
proposal from Niagara Falls.
1t was stated that the message from
the mediators was accompanied by re-
quest that nothing be made public until
conclusion had been reached.
