The Elks win.

This was the message conveyed
Tuesday morning by the vote counters

All voting ended Saturday night and
such was the avalanche that poured
in at the last minute that the voters
were swamped and kept busy count

that if J. l.. Lockhart, who was
elected state republican commit
teeman, gives proper support to
Gov. Byrne and other candidates
on the ticket whom he opposed be-
fore the primaries he will have to
stultify himself. We see no reas-
on for such conclusion. Lock.
hart made no personal attack on
any of the candidates. He criti
cised some of the policies of the
administration, but the people
have spoken and endorsed those
policies, and it is no qualification
to abide by the will of the majority
in such matters.

The developments of the past
week point very strongly to war be-
tween this country and Mexico.
The refusal of Huerta to comply
with the demands of this country
for salute to the American flag
to atone for insults to our blue
jackets leaves no other course for
this country tn an to enforce the
demand, and congress has given
the president full authority to pro-
ceed in any action he sees lit.
The president Is hopeful yet that
the matter may be adjusted with
out actually resorting to war mea-
sures. The ports of Mexico are to
be blockaded and reprisals taken,
but whether this will accomplish
the purpose seems doubtful. There
are good reasons to believe that
the purpose is to forcs this country
to intervene and give Huerta a
chance to surrender to the United
States rather than be forced TO
surrender to the constitutionalists,
and if this is the plan he will
make no concessions tu the Unit
ed States that will enable this
country to stop short of actual
war.

A terrible tragedy occurred at
Geddes last Thursday night. Mr..
William FL. Menzie, manager of
the farmers lumber yard and ele-
vator, and Miss Blanche Signal,
his bookkeeper were both murder
ed and the lumber office burned
The stockholders of the company
were to have a meeting Saturday,
and In order to get the reports
ready Mr.. Menzie and MISS Signal
went to the Office to work during
the evening. they were seen
working at the desk about niue
O'Clock. About eleven O'Clock the
office building was observed to be
In flames. After the fire was ex
tinguished the bodies of the vic
tins were found. Both had their
hands and feet tied together with
wire, Mr. Menzie had been shot
through the head and the skull Of
of Miss Signal had been crushed
with hammer. The motive 70,
the crime is still mystery. There
are no indications that robbery
was the motive, and some of the
testimony brought out at the in
quest points strongly to the theory
of murder and suicide. Miss
Signal was about twenty years Of
age, and was to have been married
in June to Mr.. st. Marie, a jewel
or at Springfield.

PARIS, October 22.-The American
Embassy, under its obligations to rep
resent German and Austrian interests
in France, is looking after about $4,000
persons who are detained as alien en-
emies in eleven localities in France.
These were Germans and Austrians
living in the country at the outbreak
of the war. The French Government
provided special trains going to neu-
trail frontiers for two days after hos
tilities had begun, and all those re-
naming within France after those days
were obliged to report themselves to
the police and go to those towns in
France to which they were assigned
The State Department at Washing
ton has attached H. Percival Dodge,
formerly Minister to Panama, to the
Embassy here as special agent to have
charge of German and Austrian affairs.
The third floor of the Embassy Office
building is taken entirely for this
work and a considerable staff of Sec
retaries and interpreters are at work.
The reason that France holds 10000
civilians as prisoners Of war appears
to lie as hostages for the proper treat
melt of French citizens who are sim
ilarly held in Germany and Austria,
and to have in hand means of repris-
al should there be any illtreatment Of
French soldiers captured by German
or Austrian armies. The most dis
tinguished prisoner is probably Count
Peiacsewich, member of the Hungar-
ian Cabinet for Croatia, Slavonia and
Dalmatia. He is allowed to remain III
his hotel and has entire freedom of
movement within the town. A good

but afterwards admitted that she was
the wife of doctor, and contrived to
have the photograph installed while the
doctor was absent.
Mrs. Carman declared that what she
had heard over the distograph wires
had assured her that the doctor was
absolutely faithful to her. She said
she was upstairs lying down in her
room at the time of the murder and had
not used the photograph that day.
Following the discovery of the dicto-
graph there were several stories told
of seeing a woman in a white dress on
the Carman lawn the night of the MUIR
der There were various other con-
fiicting rumors. One of them brought
the fact that Mrs. Carman had been
jealous of a certain nurse to whom
DR.. Carman had given money and had
struck this woman in the consulting
room where the murder occurred a
few weeks before the crime.
The versions of Mrs. Carman s
movements were conflicting, too, Ce-
ella Coleman, negro maid, became
an important figure. According to one
version the negro girl admitted Mrs.
Carman had run in the back door and
through the kitchen just after the fatal
shot, warning the maid not to tell any
one of what she had seen.
Mrs. Carman was held in such high
esteem that he authorities did not wish
to take hasty action against her. She
appeared at the coroner's inquest and
testified in a composed voice. From
many angles her story of her movr-
ments on the night of the murder was
attacked.
The case was brought before the
grand jury, which brought in the sur
prising verdict of manslaughter
against Mrs. Carman. Later the state
laid new evidence before the gran
jury and superseding indictment of
murder in the first degree was
brought in. Mrs. Carman was much
affected by her incarceration in Min
cola Jail and several times was re-
ported desperately i'll. Her husband
has stuck to her through thick and
thin.

AMERICAN EMBASSY
IN FRANCE PROTECTING
$4,000 FOREIGNERS THERE

many hundreds of German and Aus
trian subjects have been allowed to re-
main where they were, in each case be-
cause of special reasons; other hun
dreds upon the representation of the
American Embassy have been allowed
to leave the country, in each case also
for special reasons, usually those of
ill-health. But there are still about
$4,000 who had to go to the detention
camps. These are usually in barracks
formerly coupled by troops. There $
good deal of crowding and the food
is probably about what French sold
iers receive. There appears to be ev-
cry intention on the part of the French
Government to treat these involuntary
hostages as we'll as they can under the
necessities of war. There is in France
a great deal of suffering among French
people 1t is likely that millions are
less well fed than the German and
Austrian prisoners. Nevertheless these
prisoners, being forced to live away
from their own homes, find life diff
cult and full of inconvenience. They
are allowed to receive money and
spend it as they please. They also
write and receive letters freely except
that they are all read by censors.
Switzerland has undertaken to con-
duct the exchanges of prisoners AMI
among the first that are being ex-
changed are French people caught in
Germany and Austria by the war, and
Germans and Austrians detained in
France. Germans and Austrians are
taken by French police to the Swiss
border and turned over there to Swiss
agents, who in turn transfed French
citizens to the French representatives.

trial for her life here, charged with
the murder of Mrs. Louise Bailey, who

be decided.

they had two young children. On the
fatal evening she had been visiting
friend and she stopped in DR.. Carman's
Office about o'clock in the course of
her trip home. There is some doubt
concerning the nature of her illness.
She had never consulted DR.. Carman
before.
Her consultation finished Mr. Bailey
rose to leave and DR.. Carman stepped
to open the door. Just then there was
a crash of glass at the window. DR..
Carman saw revolver thrust through
the hole and threw himself fiat. A shot
rang out, Mrs. Bailey sank to the floor,
crying, I'm shot!' and died in few
seconds.
Two men in the doctors ante-room
rushed in. DR.. Carman said he look ed

one. He then telephoned to physic-
