'L|TTLEST MOTHER"
IN WITNESS CHAIR
Red-haired, Blue-eyed Jennie Pal
mer Suggests Small Girl
and Her Doll

The ''lttlest mother" of September
quarter sessions was on the witness
stand this morning in No. 2 court
room.
She is Jennie Palmer, Royalton, and
she appeared to prosecute Charles
Fairbush. of the same place. Because
of her youth the crime with which she
charged Fairbush and to which he
subsequently pleaded guilty, was
brought within the statutory category.
And Additional Law Judge S. J. NJ
McCarrell sent Fairbush to the East
ern Penitentiary for a term of eigh-
teen months to three years. Just be-
fore he imposed sentence Judge Nc
Carroll recalled that he knew Fair
bush's father we'll and that the latter
was a brave soldier in the Civil War.
Mrs. Elsie V. Middleton, of the
Children's Aid Society, was the
principal witness for the State
aside from Jennie herself. Fairbush
in his own defense declared that he
and Jennie were engaged a year age
and that he loved her and wanted to
marry her-even yet.
When the small prosecutrix, with
her baby in her arms, climbed up or
the witness chair, she suggested to
hushed courtroom nothing so much
as little girl with her doll. Jennie
is a pretty blue-eyed child with q
wealth of dark red hair. She wears

ribbon at the nape of the neck.

CARRANZA EXPECTED
TO RESIGN TODAY
Action Will Heal Breach Between
Villa and Constitutional
list Leader
BY Associated Press

Washington. Oct. General Car
ranzas resignation, generally eX-
pected to-day as a step in healing
the breach with General Villa and his
followers may not take place until
after the conference of military chiefs,
seeking to compose the differences,
finishes its work at Zacatecas.
The Zacatecas conference was eX-
pected to assemble to-day. lnforma-
ton here was that it's sole purpose is
to satisfy he demands of Villa. Chief
among those is Carranza's resignation
probably and while il may be pledged,
it was said CarranZa would follow his
original plan of not actually giving up
his place until the Mexican City con-
vention chooses a provisional presi-
dent.
Communication from Mexico, SLOW
in transmission and hampered by a
rigid censorship, shed no light on
whether this convention, also called
for to-day would begin sessions or
whether it would be delayed to await
the outcome OF the Zacatecas confer
ence. The view that it would. pre-
vailed in administration circles and
among some close to Carranza. The
delay, however, was not regarded as
endangering the hope of settlement
of Mexican affairs. The attitude of
the administration continued as one OF
impartial observation.

Polish Peasants Not in
FAVOR of German Humor

London, Oct. /, a. m.-The cor
respondent of the Telegraph at Petro-
grad telegraphing regarding the op-
erations in Russian Poland near the
East Prussian border says:
1.-The triangle formed by joining st.
Shutshin, Augustown and Ossowetz is
little more than vast swamp. Rain
has been falling heavily for two days,
but the Russians are pushing on de-
terminedly. Two German divisions
have been destroyed in the battle OF
Druskeniki. In Western Russian Po-
land tn brushes between advance
guards continue.
The Polish peasants are extremely
bitter against the Germans. The Ger
mans everywhere pretended to pay for
supplis with documnts written in Ger
man. When translated the peasants
found that these papers had inscribed
thereon that whoever presents this
at the end of tn war will be hangd
There has probibly been sniping by the
civilian population as the bodies of siS
peasants weer found hanging to g
tree in Polish town few days ago.

tribute to Republican success in Penn
sylvania
THE direct tax legislation will COM
plete the collapse of the Wilson ad-
ministration. The public, however, is
continually becoming aroused to new
developments. For instance, on my
recent trip through western Pennsyl-
vania l was repeatedly reminded that
not a single Union veteran had been
appointed to federal Office in this
State under the Wilson administra-
ton.
Meanwhile scores of Union veterans
have been discharged from office. l
will even go further and state that
with the exception of the appointment
of the commissioner of pensions at
Washington, it would be difficult to
show where a single Union veteran has
| been appointed to any office in any of
the northern States.
ION the other hand very many Con-
federate veterans have been appointed
to federal positions, particularly in the
District of Columbia, where many old
Union soldiers have been discharged,
and Confederates have been appointed
to place of importance and emolu-
ment
There are many sturdy veterans OF
| the Union army who have been con-
sistent Democrats all their lives.
Apparently none of them is thought
worthy of recognition under the pres
ent regime"

French Get Revenge
For Defeat at Sedan
Forty-four Years Ago

London, Oct. /, 4.20 a. m.-During
the strategical retreat of the allies
southwark from the Belgian frontier,
the French troops eXaCted from the
Germans bloody revenge for the
French defeat at Sedan forty-four
years before. On this same battle
geld. according TO the Paris corre-
spondent of the Daily Mail, the Ger
mans suffered one of the worst de-
feats of their present invasion. Here
is the story of the second battle of
Sedan:
The French general ordered his
troops to fall back across the river
and take up positions on the opposite
heights. The bridges were mined but
were left standing in order to deceive
the Germans into thinking that the
French were retreating hastily. The
vanced across the bridge in close for
.ments had crossed the French blew
up the bridges and the French ar
tillery started firing at a hundred Ger
man columns. which retreated hastily
to the river only to find the bridges
gone
Many Die in River
The French regiments then ad-
Vanced with quick firers, and the mer-
ciless staying continued until dusk
Many Germans threw down their arms
and attempted to swim the river and
large mum bers were drowned. When
night fall came the French brought up
searchlights and continued the work OF
carnage. The French had suffered
the loss of only handful"

Grand Jury Ignores
Bills Against Two
Sellers of Fireworks

BY ignoring the bills against JoEn
Kichman and r. +. Trimmer. Pleasant
View. charged with selling fireworks in
violation of the law, the September
Quarter Sessions grand jury may have
established precedent that might pre-
clude the so-called "safe and sane" OBJ
servance of Fourth of July celebrations
in the future.
The two men were considered the
chief offenders in selling fireworks
when Colonel Joseph B. Hutchison,
chief of police began prosecutions with
view to preventing the sale of the
pyrotechnics in this city. The law of
1911, the act under which the prosecu-
tions were brought prohibits the sale
of fireworks containing high explosives.
The grand jury, however. failed to find
that any high explosives had been sold
was not allowed to get before the Court
and jury.

WILSON IS WRITING
ENDORSEMENT NOTES
Writes to Various State Leaders
Asking That Democrats
Be Returned

Washington, Oct. President
Wilson to-day opened his letter writ
ing campaign for the election of
tiVes. He wrote letters endorsing
Senator Shiveley, of Indiana, and Sen
ator Chamberlain. of Oregon. Others
viii be written in the near future.
In his letter to Senator owen en-
dorsing Senator Chamberlain. the
President declared that the mainten-
ance of the Democratic majority in
the Senate is of the utmost Importance
to the country if the present policies
and program of the government are
TO be sustained and continued and
take it for granted that voters every
where will feel the force of that mo-
tive.
The letter endorsing Senator Shive-
ley was addressed to Majority Leader
Kern, of the Senate, and was as fol-
lows:
Il am genuinely surprised that any
question should have arisen as to
whether | want Senator Shiveley re-
turned. l do most decidedly wish it.
l have admired Senator Shiveley's
lsteadfast resolution to duty and stand
ards of party and unfaltering loyalty
in all matters of public policy as we'll
! as his party associates have and
learned to have very warm personal
! feeling and admiration for him. 1t
would in my Judgment be a very great
loss to the party and to the Senate If
| he should not be reelected l trust
that there is no doubt of his re-elec-
| tion.
May | not add a word of cordial
appreciation of the whole Indiana
delegation in Congress. The members
of the House have stood by the ad-
ministration with unfailing generos-
! ity and spirit and have made me feel
Ia very deep interest in the political
| fortunes of every one of them
/ Il need not tell you, my dear Sena-
tor, what my sentiments are toward
! yourself"
| To a request by Senator Pomeron
that he speak in Ohio, President Will
son to-day reiterated his determina-
tion not to go on the stump. He told
the senator he felt he must remain
actively at the head of the government
in Washington. Secretary Bryan an
nounced that ne would speak during
the campaign not only in Ohio but also
in Indiana, Iowa and Nebraska.
