Mail Train Captured by Robbers who
Secured Much Registered
Money

Birmingham, Feb. 20,-Queen
and Crescent passenger train No. /,
New York to New Orleans, was held
up last night about twelve miles
north of here, by three masked rob-
bers, who secured four sacks of reg
istered mail, said to have contained
over $4,000.
At Attala three men boarded the
engine and one-half mile south of
Attala held the engine crew off at
the point of revolvers. They then
ran the engine to within five miles
of Ironton, where they forced the
crew to uncouple the express and
mail cars. They ran the express car
down the road for mile and then
forced the crew to uncouple the mail
car. The engine was taken further
south and derailed. The robbers then
entered the mail car and covered the
five clerks. They asked for the chief
clerk and demanded the registered
mail. The clerk replied that he had
none. He was slightly cut on the
left shoulder, upon attempting resist
ance. The robbers ransacked the
car and secured the registered mail
books. They then took the New
York-New Orleans registered mail
and decamped, leaving one sack, con-
tanning $4,000 behind. The express
car was not mOleSted.

CHARLOTTE FIREMEN KILLED.
Chief Wallace and Captain Glenn Die
From Explosion at Fire, Others.
lpiJred .s

Charlotte.-William B. Glenn, cap
tain of fire station No. 2, was instantly
killed, Chief ]. H. Wallace, of the
Charlotte fire department, was so bad
" injured that he died in three hours;
Firemen Randolph Erwin and Clyde
F. Todd were seriously injured; Fire
man Bob Barnes was slightly injured
and half a dozen others were slightly
bruised, by an explosion OF dynamite
at 8:45 o'clock, when they answered
a call to extinguish flames In a barn
belonging to ]. B. Hawkins, a railroad
and grading contractor, at No. guy
South Cedar street. .
But for the fact that the chief,
when he arrived on the scene to direct
the ire-ighting ordered several f1re'
men back some distance from the
barn to straighten out a kink in the
hose line several other flremen might
have been killed and injured.
Windows were broken and plaster
was knocked off the walls and cell
ing in houses for several blocks sur
rounding the scene Of the explosion:
A, number of tb%ystanders were struck
by flying pieces of timber that went
in every direction, but none were Sc

materials in two grocery stores near
the scene of explosion were knocked

LESS WHiskEY CONSUMED.

Cigarettes Smoked.

But More Beer Is Used and More
Cigarettes Smoked.
Observation-Disclosures drank less
whiskey during the past II months
than they did the year before, but they
consumed more beer and smoked
more cigarettes.
Reports to the commissioner of in
ternal revenue made public showed
that receipts for the fiscal year just
closed totalled s846,069 less than for
the previous year, and most OF this
decline was due to the marked de-
crease in taxes collected on distilled
spirits. Detailed statements for the
month Of June are not yet available,
but in the first II months Of the fiscal
year there was a decrease of $3,734,-
SSH in the income from the manufac-
ture and sale of distilled liquor, due
in part to reduction in the number OF
licenses. Estimates on the June re.
ceipts indicated the total decline IN
distilled liquor tax for IL months will
probably be $4,250,000.
Receipts from tobacco taxes show
ed an approximate increase Of $780,
900 over last year. This gain is due
almost entirely to a phenomenal in
crease in the cigarette trade. The gain
in receipts from fermented liquor.
beer, ale and the like was about $780,
900.

CARRANzA WANTS
TINE TO CONSIDER
HAS REPLIED TO THE INVITATION
TO ENTER INTO AN INFORMAL
CONFERENCE.
THE TEXT OF HIS REPLY
to Have Consultation With His
Generals Before Announcing Medi-
alton Policy.

Il Washington.-Gen. Venustiano Car
rama, first chief of the Mexican Con-
stitutionalists, has replied to the invi-
tation extended for participation BY
his agents In an informal conference
with representatives of General Huer-
ia and the United States concerning
plans for a provisional government In
Mexico, asking that he be given time
to consult with his generals.
General Carranzas it was learned
here, informed the mediators in his
latest communication that because of
the plan Of Guadalupe under which
he was, chosen first chief Of the Con-
stitutionalists, It would be necessary
for him to confer with his associates
before entering such important neso-
tiations.
Acceptance. Of any proposed provis-
ional government to succeed Huerta,
he said, recessitarily might require
some change in the terms Of the
Guadalupe plan and this could not
be done without the consent Of va
rious military leaders in the Constitu-
.tionalist movement. 4
General C~arranza Is said to have
assured the mediators he would has
ten>the proposed consultation with his
CHIEFS. Some of the Constitutional
lists representatives In Washington
still insist that General Carranza has
been influenced to look with favor on
the proposal to confer with the United
States commissioners and Huerta
representatives. Others, however, are
not so certain of this outcome and
they insist that, whatever happens,
the military campaign against Huerta
will be pursued with renewed vigor
toward Mexico City, with Aguas
Calientes, San Luis Potosi and Quere-
taro as the next objective points OF
the revolutionists armies.
Many perplexing elements have de-
veloped In the situation, however,
among them being. the apparent dis
agreement between Carranza's agents
here over the recent break with Villa
and the publication Of the statement
attacking General Angeles, authorized
by Alfredo Bracenda, General Car
ranza's personal aide, who came to
Washington from Saitillo for this pur-
pose.

WILSON C0NFERS
WITH J.P. MORGAN
FIRST OF A SERIES OF CONFER.
ENcES PLANNED WITH THE
BUSINESS MEN.
MEETING Is VERY CORDIAL
President Expects Business Men to
Learn That They Have Nothing to
Fear.

Neutrality-suspicious. nearly an hour
President Wilson discussed business
conditions with J. P. Morgan at the
first of a series Of conferences which
will bring to the White House men
foremost in American industry and
finance. 1t was one Of the very few
occasions during the 16 months Of his
administration that the President has
received one Of the recognized lead
ers of big business"
Officials said that while the Admin
istration's greatest legislative projects
we're underway-the tariff act, the
currency bill, and while the trust pro-
gram was being perfected-the Pres
ident felt there should be no oppor-
tunity for a charge that they were re-
ceiving inspiration from business or
financial centers.
Now that two of the Administra-
ton reforms have been completed
and a third Is in a final stage the Pres
ident is said to feel that an exchange
of thought and information with cap
tains of industry will be conducive to
the business revival he expects to see
along lines which the administration
holds to be legal.
Soon Henry Ford, Detroit manufac-
turer, will confer with the President
and after that a delegation from the
Chicago Association Of Commerce, in
Guiding representatives Of six corpor-
atoms with Nationwide interest, will
come for a conference.
Out of these exchanges the Pres
ident expects business men to learn
that lawful enterprise has nothing
to fear from the Democratic admins
tration; that the trust program having
reached a point where he foresees It's
successful completion, business shall
have the rest many Of its leaders have
been asking; and that under the "con-
stitution of freedom" as the President
has christened the trust legislation
commerce and finance respecting the
laws will not be harassed by the Fed
eral government.
Whether Mr.. Morgan came at his
own request or at the invitation OF
the President was not established.
That point often is left in doubt as
to important White House confer
ences. officials said Mr.. Morgan ask.
ed for the engagement. Another YER
sion was that mutual friends arrang.
ed for Mr.. Morgan to talk things
over" The two men have been &C
quainted for some time and Mr.. Nor
gan knew the President at Princeton
and the personal element IN the call
was a large one.

The indictments against Messrs.
Mellen, Noseley and Gillett allege
conspiracy; to induce the investment
committees OF the two banks to lend
a total Of $4,000 to the corporation.

endorsed by the HamEden Invest
ment Company , organized by Mr..
Gillett to finance the construction Of
the railroad, which cost approx
mately 100000.

East Cambridge Savings Bank is
indicted on three counts of con-

can Politics and Policies.

Niagara Falls, Ont.-Ambassador
Da Cana of Brazil formally announced
the virtual settlement Of the conflict
between the United States and Next
&C. The Ambassador explained that
while mediation would take an indef-
mite recess awaiting the outcome Of
efforts by representatives Of the two
Mexican factions to solve the inter-
nal problems Of Mexico the task Of
mediation was not yet concluded,
though an essential part Of its work
had been accomplished.
The Ambassador spoke at a lunch
con given by the three mediators to
newspaper correspondents. The Amer
lean and Huerta delegations were
present and the remarks Of Mr.. Da
Cana, after careful revision, were
made public later, constituting a for
NAL statement of the mediation work
thus far.
1T Is a source Of satisfaction for
me-" said the Ambassador, ito be
able to say that n Of the essential
points of our program, that dealing
with the international side Of the con-
'fict is virtually settled. This does
not imply that we go home with our
task concluded, but we feel that so
far we have averted, war. We have
established. also through agreement
between the parties most directly in
terested and in complete harmony
with the sentiments Of the Govern
ment of the United States that it is
a principle of American policy to
have our National problems always
given a fair examination and settled
without foreign interference. We un-
derstand that If such a result has
been attained we shall have created a
more favorable atmosphere in IN
ternational politics in America"
Mr.. Da Cana called attention to
the fact that President Wilson per-
sonally had informed the mediators
before they left Washington that the
only way to solve Mexico's problem
was Ito aid the c%ontending parties
In Mexico to, reach an agreement
among themselves, thus obtaining a
Mexican solution Of the Mexican
question.
In this manner the Ambassador re-
yealed that the course mediation has
taken was in President Wilson's mind
from the beginning.
The speech served also as a defini'
ton for the world generally OF the
hitherto unsettled status of media
ton. ', ,g

sued by A. S. Salley, Jr., secretary of
the Historical Commission of South
Carolina. The journal covers the
period between July %, 1779, and
March %, 1880.
That portion of the journal of the
commissioners Of the navy Of South

apart of the records which were re-
turned to the state by an act Of the
general assembly OF New York in
1911. ...
That portion of the journal over

the date of the organization Of the
board of commissioners of the navy,
to March 1, 1879, was printed in one
volume by the historical commission
of South Carolina in 1912. That por-
ton of the journal between March
/ and July %, 1779, has been lost.
The journal had been kept in five or
six thin blank books.
The authorities of the state library
of New York had all Of the thin vol
umes in their possession bound into
one volume, and stated before the
fire of March 20, 1911, which par

New York, that five of them had been
