was adjourned over until s o'clock Fri

The jury Is composed of the following:
James w. Bales. foreman: George H.

Roberts. George w. Carter and
Llewellyn Dyson.
According to reports, the lad, accom-
panied by two other boys. while cross

against the estate of the late John A.
Marshall. alleged to be erroneous made
by W. N Lpscomb. examiner of rec
ords for the sixteenth judicial circuit,
Manassas, Va, is being argued today
before Judge Barley in corporation
court.
Col. Francis L. Smith argued on be-
haif OF the Marshall estate, and the
state was represented by the common
wealth's attorney, Samuel G. Brent Mr..
Lipscomb stated today that he made the
assessment for a period of fourteen
years from 1900 up to the present
year. The total amount for that period
would aggregate. approximately, ST.
Uoe.oo0. according to Mr.. Lipscomb
This, therefore, would mean that the
state would ask taxes on something
ike that amount. The state charges a
tax of $3.50 on the $1,000 for stocks
bonds and mortgages, as we'll as real
estate.
1t is stated that there is another case
pending for argument for the correc-
ton OF an assessment for back taxes

CABALLERO HAS JOINED
THE FORCES Of VILLA
Peaceful Entry Of Latter's Troops
Into Tampico Now Is
Expected.

Of1cial dispatches today confirmed
earlier reports that Gen. Luis Caballero.
governor of Tamaulipas, has joined the
Villa forces in Mexico. AS he is in con-
troll Of Tampico, the peaceful entry Of
the troops which have been marching
eastward from San Luis Potosi Is now
expected.
Caballero has been claimed by both
the Carranza and Villa factions. Cabal-
lero has telegraphed to Gutierrez his
allegiance to the Aguascalientes con-
vention.
In q dispatch dated Queretaro. tempo
rary capital of the convention faction,
Special Agent Canova Of the State De-
partment said a rumor was current that
Gen. Pablo Gonzales. now at Pachuca
with 5000 men, one Of the Carranza di-
Vision commanders. had proclaimed him
self provisional president and named a
cabinet. Canova was unable to confirm
the rumor. Officials here think it UNI
likely.
Gonzales Action Questioned.
Advices received at the State Depart
ment yesterday from Aguascalientes said
that Gonzales had declared himself pro-
visional president.
Gonzales, who was one of the fore
most leaders Of the constitutionalist
army in the campaign against Huerta.
had been supposed to be unswervingly
loyal to Carranza- After the Aguascal-
ientes convention, however, he disap-
peared southwerd with his army, and
his whereabouts since had been more
or less of mystery.
Mexico City Reported Quiet.
1t is not believed here that Gonzales,
with his comparatively small force, will
be able to interfere with the forces of
Provisional President Gutierrez and
Gen. Villa. for the joint triumphal en-
try into Mexico City.
The latest dispatches from Mexico
City. dated Saturday, said the city was

By William T. Ellis
War has this glory: it inspires
men to sacrifice all for the sake of
native land. The nobler passions
are made the vogue of the hour No
body is counted chimerical or i'm
praCticar or a dreamer who offers
his life on the altar Of patriotism.
In the light of this mood, let us look
upon that form Of world patriotism
commonly called missions This is
devotion Of self to the larger cause
OF humanity's welfare. 1t is alto
gether quite as sOldierly a service as
volunteering for national army
When we enlist for the ministry Of
mankind, we are but obeying the
highest instinct Of the human heart
country. The spirit Of Christian
missions is the spirit Of supreme 10y
atty to Christ and to the whole wide
world for which he died.
One OF the sights that stirs the
heart is the yearly procession Of
students from our higher institu-
tons Of learning. fired with an am
bition to do some service for the
| world They are our modern knight
4 errantry, the vindication Of our
civilization. The apex Of all train
1 ing is a passion and an equipment
for service. To minister to our gen
Grafton is a worthy life goal. Who
ever does that is a missionary. And
to be a missionary of the cross is
one best way Of fulfilling this pur-
pose For the missionary is serving
