REBEL CHIEF MAY
SEND DELEGATES
EEL PAso DISPATCHES INTIMATE
ARMIsTlCE WILL NOT BE
AGREED TO
ISSUE NOW CLEARLY DRAWN
American Government Ia Insisting
That the consttutionallsts Should
Be Recognized, But, the New Presi-

Niagara Fails, Ont, June Ire
ports from Saltillo that Gen. Carran-
zas answer to the last communica-
tion of the mediators had been trans
mitted to Niagara Falls aroused keen
expectancy among the members OF
the mediation conference today.
lntimations have come from El
Paso that the Constitutionalist an
swer will refuse to declare an armis-
tice, In that the subject will be ig-
nored, but that the note will an
nounoe the intention of the Const!tu-
Itlonalists to send delegates here to
discuss the Mexican problem, leaving
indefinite the nature of the instruc-
items given to the delegates.
What the mediators would say to
such a proposition is not difficult
TO conjecture for they have taken
a stand that unless an armistice Ia
declared there will be no admission
for the Constitutionalst delegates.
Nevertheless the mediators have In
dicated they would not be adversa
to discussing questions informally
with representatives OF Carranza
Injection of the question of Con-
stitutionalist representation at this
1 ne would tend somewhat to divert
the proceedings from the course they
have assumed. The issue today is,
clearly drawn between the American
government and the mediators. The
American government is asking that
an out and out Constitutionalist be
chosen for President, but man
broad enough to respect the rights OF
the other political factions and Is OBJ
jecting to- having Huerta literally ap-
point his successor by permitting
him to name as foreign minister the
man who would be chosen for sue
cesson as provisional President. A se-
rious hitch has arisen on these
points.
The American government Is insist
ent that the triumphant cause Of the
revolution should he recognized. The
alternative, e believes, would be a
Constitutionalist march on Mexico
City. The, ,,attack on Zacatecas was
regarded ~ ,dicating the inevitable
trend of b, SIS II mediation failed.
Another possibility is that II mediation
Is unsuccessful and fighting contin-
ues, foreign complications may arise
out of conditions Of anarchy that
would force the American army 20
move from Vera Cruz to Mexico City.
Neither General Carrsnza nor Gen
eraI villa Is desired by the United
States for provisional President, nor
is any OF the prominent military Of.
officers. The Mexican delegates have
not yet formally expressed their
views but they contend that the new
President should be neutral un-
affected by passions of any party.
Such an individual, the Constitutions
alists say, cannot be found.
No names have been exchanged
but If the Constitutionalist repre-
sentatives arrive here soon the Amer
leans feel confident rapid progress
toward an agreement ON the person
mel of the new government would be
made.

CONSTlTUTIONALISTs ADVANCE
ON CITY FOR DETERMINE

On Board U. S. S. California, Ma

less to San Diego, June 11)-Heavy
volley firing on the outskirts of Ma
zatlan was heard tonight 1t is be-
lieved that the constitutionalists are
advancing for determined assault. A
well-directed attack, it is thought,
would result in the capture of the
lefty. The constitutlonalists captured
a strategetic hill north of the city
Tuesday night.
Fearing that the neutral zone re-
rently designated for non-combat-
ants might not be rescepted in the
attack, the entire consular corps at
Mazatlan sent note today through
Rear Admiral Howard, commanding
the United States Pacific fleet to
General lturbe, the Constitutionalist
commander, again requesting that the
zone be safeguarded. The German
consul has sent a letter OF thanks to
Admiral Howard for protecting Ger
man interests. Japanese Minister
Adachi, returning to Mexico City az

HIGH TRIBUNAL HOLDS CITY
HAS NO RIGHT TO OPEN
THE SAFE
LOWER COURT CONFIRMED
Case oyer Which Such a Lively
Fight Was Waged Several Weeks
Ago Finally Decided-Police Court
to Now Try Edwards.

The Supreme court in Atlanta on
yesterday decided the iron safe case.
The judgment of the lower court
was affirmed.
This is the case that grew out of
the efforts of the police to open an
iron safe taken from the place OF a
near beer dealer on Bay street, in
which the police claim there was
hidden a quantity of whiskey.
On Saturday night several months
ago, the police went into what is
known as Edwards near beer sa-
loon on Bay street. The police claim
that he was using a large iron safe
in which to keep liquor. Edwards
declined to let the officers look in
the safe. The officers insisted that
they were in possession of informa,
ton that the safe was full of whis.
key. Edwards was. arrested and the
safe hauled over to the police head
quarters where it has since been.
The following morning Edwards Sc
cured an injunction against the Off
GERS opening the safe On the hear.
ing before Judge Conyers, he held
that the safe could not be opened.
The case was then appealed from
this decision to the supreme court;
and on yesterday that court sustain.
ed the ruling of the lower court.
The case against Edwards in the
police court has never been tried,
waiting upon the ruling In the upper
court. 1t is probable that the police
court case will now be tried. The
police say that they have sufficient
evidence to secure conviction with.
out the contents of the safe.
City Attorney Colson said last
night that he was not prepared to
say whether the decision of the sa.
preme court would finally dispose OF
the opening of the safe, as he had
not seen a copy of the decision; that
there were both questions of law and
fact involved, and that the opinion
would have to be read before he
could say whether the safe would ev-
Ter be opened, He added there are
now two mysteries in Georgia, what
is in that safe, and what were the
contents Of the letter that Joe Brown
wrote Hoke Smith.
Edwards was ably represented by
Judge A. d. Gale.

city's Population

The directory gives Brunswick a
population of 1856. The book con-
tains the actual names of 5,232 peo-
pie. In estimating the population of
a city all directory companies use
the multiple three, therefore the act
ual population of the city, according
to the 1914 directory is 1886. These
ngures are taken as accurate, as it
has been acknowledged in the past
that directories, by using the multi
pie three, always give a fair and ac-
curate estimate of a city's popula-
tion
However, in view of the fact that
the government census in 1910
gave the city only slightly over TO-
600 people, it is not claimed that
Brunswick has gained over 5000 peo-
pie since that time. While there has,
unquestionably been a steady in
crease in the city's population. still
no, claim will be made that the city
has gained over 5000 people since
1910.
HowNyer, it is known and generally
acknoS Yeede that the U. 5. census
OF 1910 WAs. On )eat injustice to
Brunswick. ihngill be remembered
that after the enumerators had clos
ed their lists and forwarded them
to the enumerator of this district.
The News secured practically 1000
names which had been omitted, most
OF them being well known citizens.
and 1t was the general belief that the
enumerators missed possibly between
two and three thousand persons.
therefore the census report of 1910
should have given Brunswick a popu.
lation of between 10000 and 10000
rather than just trif1e ever 100 0.
Therefore, with these facts we'll in
mind. the estimate given by the di-
rectory company is considered fair
and accurate, and, instead of being
city of a few over 10000 people.
Brunswick can now justly lay claim
to a city of upwards of 5000.
There was no directory issued of
Brunswick in 1913, but the one is
sued in 1912 gave the city a popula-
tion of 1902. The directory that
year contained 4,344 names, and, u.s.
ing the same multiple, three. gave
the city population of 1902. The
directory of 1914 contains 1888 more
names than did the publication of
1912. with corresponding increase
in population for the two years r.

A Test of Efficiency.

Efficiency was the topic that was
being discussed at a gabfest in a
Washington club the other night,
when Congressman John G. Rother-
mel, of Reading, was reminded of the
declaration of an esteemed party
named James.
The aforesaid James attended cir
Gus some time since, where one Of the
big features of the show was beau
tiful lion tanner. Entering the ring,
followed by the lion, the fair charmer
placed a lump of sugar between her
pretty lips which the lion took from
her with his teeth. Instantly James
sat upright and began to take no
tice.
Great stunt, all right" he loudly
shouted to the performer. "but I can
do it, too.'
''Of course" scornfully replied the
girl, who didn't appreciate having
her act minimized. but do you real
ly think you can?'
Most assuredly,' was the prompt
rejoinder of James, Just as well as

A Strange Lamp.

What is probably the most extra
ordinary lamp in the world is one,
said to be more than 1000 years
old which forms a part of the art
collection of the emperor of Japan.
In this lamp the oil is stored in
the body of a rat, which sits upon
the top, Of a pole. Half way down
the pole, and resting on projecting
bracket, is a saucer, in the centre
of which is a pin that connects it
with the bracket on which it rests.
In this saucer and leaning over its
side is a wick. When the saucer
is filed with oil and the wick is lit
there is presented lamp that exhi-
->bits no peculiar qualities until the
greater part of the oil is consumed.
Then suddenly stream which suf-
fees to replenish the now nearly ex-
hausted saucer, issues from the
mouth of the rat.
The saucer being full, no more oil
is discharged from the rats mouth
until it is again nearly empty, when
the creature sitting above yields a
further supply, and so on till its
store of oil is exhausted. The man
ner in which this is accomplished
is simn1e
A peg that rises in the centre of
the saucer and attaches it to the sup
port on which it rests, terminates
in a knob or cap; but the peg is hol-
low and is connected with the body
of the rat by tube which runs along
the bracket and then ascends
through the stand to the upper por-
tion of the rats body.
The pin, which stands in the CEN
tre of the saucer, it should be remem-
bered, is perforated Immediately be-
low it's cap, or about half an inch
above the saucer. 1t is obvious, then,
that when the oil sinks to a point
at which the hole is exposed air will
enter and thus allow the oil to run
out of the rats mouth: but when this
hole is again covered by oil no fur
ther air is admitted. and therefore
no more oil can run from the rats
mouth.-Philadelp Record
