day. The decision unraVelS leSai
tangle that had tied up large portion
of the $25,000,000 estate left by John
Carter Brown, son of Nicholas Brown.
Mrs. William Watts Sherman, mother
of Lady Camoys, is the only living
child OF John Carter Brown. Her in
terests in the estate Of her father also
had been tied in a trust she had Gre
ated upon her marriage. 1t was decld-
ed in the present case, however, that
this trust terminated with the death OF
her husband in 1912 and the courts de-
creed that she receive her half OF the
estate. The other part will go under
the court order to her nephew, John
Nicholas Brown, Jr.
President Wilson declared yeSter-
day that because of contradictory
statements in the Baltimore platform,
Democrats should have no hesitation
in voting for repeal Of the Panama
canal tolls exemption. The president
emphatically characterized the eXemp-
ton as a subsidy and pointed out that
one plank in the Baltimore platform
expressed opposition to any subsidy
direct or indirect while another plank
declared for tolls exemption. The
president asserted there should be no
doubt among Democrats as 10 which
should take precedence. The presi-
dent reiterated that the exemption
never was a policy of the Democratic
house because 1t was passed through
a coalition of Republicans and mi
nority of Democrats, the majority OF
Democrats voting against it on the
ground that ii was a subsidy. The
president explained that even II the
international situation to which he re-
ferred in his message had not arisen
he would have been opposed to the
tolls exemption as against Democrat
ic doctrine. But he indicates, how
ever, that if II were not for the in
ternational situation he did not feel
that it would have been proper for
him to question the acts of previous
administration.
Charlotte Observer: Its figures
somewhat larger than those we recent
ly took from another publication, The
Automobile reports that the number of
automobiles and motor trucks register
ed in the United States increased from
1,010,4S3 in 1912 to 1,253,S75 at present
and that the output Of the factories rose
from 37S,261 cars and trucks in 1912 TO
over 100000 in the past year. New YORK
leads with 122,411 and Illinois follows
with 94,456. North Cardinals total
registration is an even 10000, including
1892 new registration; South Carroll
mas is 1850, including 1,500 new reg
istration; Virginia's is 9,022. including
1882 new registration, and the figures
for Georgia are $4,000 and 1850. From
figures representing those states in
which they are available we gather
that gasoline vehicles outnumber cleo
trio about 29 to one. Virginia's indif-
ferent roads doubtless account for her
moderate indulgence in automobiles
The other states of this section appear
to be buying about their share.
Quincy, Illinois, March 90: After
masquerading as a man for so years
and serving as a soldier in Grants
army during the Civil war, Albert"
Cashier, whose sex was discovered at
the Soldiers Home today, was COM
mitted to an insane asylum. The wo-
man was born in Ireland, 73 years ago.
She came to America as a stowaway
clad in boys clothes. When the war
broke out she having continued to
represent herself as a man, enlisted in
Co. G, 95th Illinois infantry. She par
ticipated in several bloody battles and
behaved with gallantry. When the war
closed she resumed civil life as work
man until she became too helpless to
support herself. She then entered the
soldiers home, where her sex was dis
covered while she was under the care
of a surgeon.
Chihuahua, March %: Evidence
Of the severe resistance which the
rebels met from the federals outside
of Torreon was brought here today
with the first two trainloads of reb-
el wounded. Sixteen coaches filled
with wounded soldiers wrapped in
blankets and blood stained bandages,
reached the city as the vanguard of
long line of wounded. Three hundred
rebel wounded, including three lieu
tenant colonels and about twenty
minor officers, had arrived by night.
They reported total of about 1000
wounded on their side, with an un-
known number of dead. Gen. Trini-
dad Rodriguez probably fatally wound
ed and General Maxine Garcia Sc
riously wounded, were left at the
front All accounts given by the SOL
diers were that Gen. Villa, instead OF
frightening the Huerta forces on his
approach, found the Torreon garri-
son stubbornly entrenched and pre-
pared to resist. The accounts agreed
that the first firing resulted in fed
eral victory. After five days fight
ing Villa had not only failed to enter
Torreon proper, but had not taken
Most of the wounded were soldiers Of
Saragosa brigade, commanded by Gen.
Aguierre Benavides, which undertook
to lead the way through the heavy
federal cannonading out Gomez Pal
acio. These soldiers were moved
down, killed and wounded by the
scores according to the stories told
by individual soldiers. They were sent
out to a certain death to draw the
federal fire, so the federals might be
located for an attack from other
points. Many wounded died and the
dead simply were covered with loose
earth without the digging of graves.
Hell met US at Torreon." said one
youthful soldier, as he crawled out of
the train with head, arms, and legs
wrapped in rags, but with a grim
smile on his face. He was one of the
small boys who had joined the
Saragosa brigade. AS the train with
it's freight of mutilated men neared
the city every public conveyance in
Chihuahua was ordered to the sta
ton. These formed a thin line and
soon a continuous procession of wa
CONS and coaches passed from the
station to an abandoned warehouse,
where the wounded were stretched On
cots and on the floor. Most Of the
nOIelS were lllleu Will "OuhuSu
GERS Pitiable as their condition was,
it was noticeable that all Of the
wounded had been given first aid
treatment before they were started
northward. This was regarded as
marking an advancement in the treat
ment of wounded in Mexican revolu-
tions, for in previous fights few of the
wounded ever were treated on the
battlefield at all.
- After the senate had passed a bill
to regulate cotton futures trading
last Friday, Senator Kenyon, who with
others had misunderstood an amend
ment to legalize pooling operations,
moved for a reconsideration and paw
ed the way for Ceopening the fight on
the measure. The amendment would
annul the supreme court decision in
the Patten case, that pooling. with an
agreement not to sell on an exchange,
violates the Sherman law. The bill
as passed would provide that no per-
son connected with an exchange shall
send through the mails matter pro-
noting enforcement of future de-
livery contract unless the exchange
requires all such transactions to COM
ply with certain conditions, among
them, that contracts must provide for
delivery within department of agricul-
