Jersey City Has Plan to Kill
Two Birds with One Stone.

Any employe OF Jersey City who hap
pens to get sick in the future may have
the services of city physician and city
nurse without cost. This plan has been
agreed upon by the commission. which
governs Jersey City. and TO all intents
and purposes has for its object the pres
ervation OF the health Of the city en-
ployes
There is another reason. too, one that
Is most important from the taxpayers
point OF view. SO many city employees
have been absent from their posts OF late
that the commission began to wonder IL
the city was In the throes of an epidemic.
Each and every one OF the absentees pre-
sented physicians certificates. but in
many cases the names signed TO these
certificates were strange and somewhat
doubtful. AS a result, the commission
decided TO have the city's physicians look
after the health of its employees. with the
double purpose of helping really deserving
cases and of ferreting out those which
are make believe"

lington. Vt. where they found no obstacle
The young mans father. then Secretary
of State, was very angry when he learned
of the marriage, and he refused to for
give young Philander at the time Later
he gave in. The young man IN the mean
time got employment In Detroit auto
mobile factory. The young couple then
made their home on the Knox estate. at
WAYNE. Penn. and it was believed that
they were happier than ever until yes
terdays development. Even close friends
OF the pair had no inkling Of trouble, for
there were callers at the Wayne house
Yesterday who expressed surprise when

jr. was there.
Tradesmen In Philadelphia say they
were informed recently that the Knox

ViscOunt Chinda.
GAVE so LECTURES
DURING WAR CRAZE
Faced Delicate Situation at the
Time Land Bill Was Up, Says
the Ambassador.

The Aldine Club held a Japanese dinner
in honor of Hamilton Wright Mabie last
night in It's club rooms in the Fifth Ave
nue. Building. 1t was In recognition OF
Mr. Mabie's recent mission TO Japan for
the Carnegie Foundation for Peace when
he made eighty lectures in the universities
throughout that country. Niscount CHM
da, the japanese Ambassador to the
United States was also a guest and paid
"a high tribute to the work of Mr.. Maoie
in japan relative TO the international
peace movement.
Mr. Mabie arrived in Japan when MS
mission required great delicacy." said Wis
count Chinda. THE California land Dill
had Just passed the Legislature OF that
state despite the efforts Of the national
administration TO prevent it. This action
couldn't fail to have its effect across the
seas Large public meetings were held
which excited crowds attended. where inn
passioned and even nhammatory speeches
were made
Il would like it distinctly understood
that | do not intend to defend the atti-
tude OF the Japanese crowds at that time.
but | state these facts merely 10 show
the delicate situation which Mr. Mabie
faced Public opinion in Japan is moulded
by the japanese students, and, therefore,
any one who gets the ear of the student
class can materially influence public senti-
ment. In that way Mr.. Mabie's success
was very gratifying in modifying the
prejudices toward America which were in
the public mind. Japan is to be congrat-
al tod Mol x.ic eli IN

Talcott Williams, head Of the Column

ter. The other speakers were Arthur 5.

Mr.. Mabe discussed the historical value

MEXICANS IN SEA
TALK WITH WILSON
Church Envoy and Old Diaz
Aid Said to Have Been
with Him on the Chester.

Mexico City, Jan. 1T is reported
here that two Mexicans accompanied
Mr.. Lind on his recent trip on the
scout cruiser Chester to Pass Christian.
These men are said to have been Sc
bastian Camacho, an old Conservative
of the Porfirio Diaz regime, and An
tonic Parades, attorney of the Catho-
lie Church in the capital.
The reported presence of the latter
has been taken to indicate the active
part being played by Archbishop Mora
in the settlement of the Mexican diff
culties. The Archbishop and other
Church dignitaries have been pleading
with those close to Huerta to obtain
from the President whatever conces-
sion might be necessary TO bring about
peace.
Independent Of these efforts it is
known that others, including high mill
tary officers, have attempted to per-
suade the President of the necessity of
resigning.
The report that Huerta is inclined 20
take steps that will leave the present
Minister Of Justice, Senior Gerostiet, as
his successor. has gained impetus.
There is another report current that a
new slate will be proposed to General
| Huerta by another group, which would
place General Jose Velasco, now COM
manding at Torreon, in the Presidency;
General Lauro Villar, another officer of
the DiaZ regime. in the Ministry Of
War, and Francisco de la Barra in the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Rebel Leader Reported
Taken by Federals Near
COnChOs River.
DELAY IN ATTACK ON
OJINAGA is OMNIBUS
General Castro Issaes Dehant
Note to Enemy, Telling Them
He Is Ready.
ny Telegraph to Tho Tribune /

Preside. Tex, Jan. T.-Rebcl leaders
here tonight are alarmed over reports
that Pancho villa. chief of all the reoei
forces in the north. was captured TO-
day while near the rebel camp on the
Conchos River by detachment Oh
Federals from the advance guard OF
General Argumendos force from the
south. The reports have not been con-
fIrrned. but neither have the reDei
leaders on this side been able to get
any word from the camp, nearly twenty
miles from Ojinaga.
According to the plan formulated Dy
Generals Natera and Ortega the repei
advance upon Ojinaga should nave
started to-day. In fact, the repeis
should have been attacking the Federal
stronghold tonight, according TO the
programme which was sent here last
night by rebel couriers.
There has been no evidence to-day OF
rebel approach. No couriers have come
from the temporary camp with the an
uouno ement of a change in plans, and
local rebel sympathizers are manifestiy
worried.
In Ojinaga to-day the Federals have
been strengthening their positions,
burying slain officers and burning dead
privates, and in the work they have
shown no disposition TO eXult over the
apparent discontinue of the rebels.
Early to-day General Castro issued a
defiant note to the rebels to come when
they pleased. To friends who saw him
in Ojinaga General Castro said he was
ready for any attack the rebels wished
to make. He is confidently expecting
General Argumendo with nearly five
thousand Federal achievements to-
night or tomorrow, and he does not
think the rebels will attack when once
they learn that Argumendo has reached
Ojinaga.
That the rebels have been very
strongly reinforced is the report OF
Federal secret agents who have been
keeping in touch with the movements
OF rebels. Every garrison in Northern
Mexico has been depleted to send men
and ammunition to Villa at Ojinaga.
and the greatest effort Pancho Villa
has made will be in the new attack on
Ojinaga if the rebel chief still is un-
captured.
Not less than ten thousand rebels
will be in the attacking army, and the
attack cannot long be delayed. for the
rebels have only a temporary camp
now and have made no preparations
for remaining there any length of time.
Villa reached the rebel camp yester-
day, according to a dispatch reaching
here. and while local rebels are anxious
they insist that the rebels delay in at
lacking is due to Villas usual care in
making everything ready before max
ing an important move.
In Otinaga the Federals admit that
the attack on the town by rebels per-
sonally led by Villa will probably be
more desperate and more daring than
il subordinate officers led the men.
Villas personality counts very
strongly with his men. They will GO
into any danger at his command, while
they would not hesitate to mutiny II

certain disaster.
