STRANGE TALE OF TRAGEDY
Man Stays His Wife So That He Can
Wed Stepdaughter.

Robert Higgins confessed that he
murdered his wife at New Henderson
ILL.,, Jan. so he would be free to
marry his stepdaughter, Julia Flake,
fifteen years old.
He was arrested after the girl told
States Attorney Wilson of her in
fatuation for Higgins and that she
importuned him to dispose of her
mother, who, she said, was the only
obstacle between her and happiness.
She said she was in the next room
when Higgins fired the shotgun which
brought instant death to her mother.
She told how Higgins raved and strug-
gled with peighbOrs for possession Of
the gun, saying he would end his own
life. Then, when the excitement sub.
sided somewhat, she said they eX-
planned that Higgins had been clean
ing the gun and it had been accident
ally discharged.
Their story was so convincing the
coroner's jury returned a verdict Of

COCKTAILS MAY HEAD POLICE
Canal Builder Likes offer Made by
Mayor of New York.

Mayor Mitchell of New York gave
out statement carrying the sugges
tion that Colonel George w. GoetAals
chief engineer of the Panama canal
is to be the next police commissioner
of New York city.
While the mayor would not dis uss
the matter it is understood that
Goethals agreed to assume the com.
missionership provided the powers OF
the position were increased materially.
These changes, it was said the mayor
felt confident of bringing about to the
colonel's satisfaction. The colonel, il
is said, insists that he have complet'
power over the personnel of the de
partment. This would mean legisla
tion. Colonel Goethals, too, must OBJ
tain permission to retire from the
army.

Official Wa7hir Ton Stunned.

Reports to the effect that Colonel
George w. Goethals, builder of the
Panama canal, has conditionally nc
cepted the post of police commissioner
of New York city were received in
official quarters with incredulity at
first and later with amazement.
The reports came as a complete
surprise to President Wilson, and it
was apparent that the White House
was disturbed over the prospect Of
losing Goethals at this time.
The reports if they accomplished
nothing else served to disclose DEF.
nitely that it is the presidents inten-
tion to name Colonel Goethals as head
o. the new civil government in the
canal zone and thus to give him com
plete control after the opening and
operation of the great waterway.

LAST CHANGE FOR
DICTATOR HUERTA
President Wilson Has Fixed Up
His Final Program
TURN DOWN MEANS ACTION

Washington viii Recognize De Facto
Government In Mexico With De La
Barra In Contrcl-Huerta Protected.
President Wilson, it is said, has
evolved a new program of dealing
with the Mexican situation.
II the scheme is finally agreed upon
the denouement will come suddenly
and almost before Mexico can realize
what has happened its government
will again be shifted to a new regime.
The program received from Mexi-
can source is outlined as follows:
I. The voluntary retirement of Pres
ident Huerta under pretext of taking
command of the federal army.
2. The elevation of Francisco De
La Barra to the provisional presi-
dency in Huerta's place.
3. The recognition of the De La
Barra government as de facto in the
hope that It will acquire sufficient
strength to bring permanent peace in
Mexico.
This is the plan which the president
has been trying to work out since his
conference with Special Envoy John
Lind at Pass Christian
De La Barra is acceptable to foreign
powers as a provisional president, but
II the plan to replace Huerta fails
they will insist upon drastic action
which President Wilson is understood
to be ready to take.
Agents of both Mexico and the Unit
ed States have sounded out General
Carranza and he is for the De La
Barra scheme or anything that will
hasten the ousting of Huerta. He has
exacted pledges that the reforms de-
manded by the northern states of Mex
leo will be carried out and that the
good Offices of the United States will
be given to this end.
One stumbling block in the way Of
speedy peace is the attitude of Cen
erals villa and Zapata. These bandit
chiefs are against any compromise.
but II is felt that they can be speedily
won over as soon as Mexico is placed
under a leadership that will have the
recognition and backing Of the United
States.
The recent conference at Vera Cruz
between John Lind, Jesus Flores
Magon and other prominent Mexicans
have all BEEN part OF the plan to get
Huerta to step down for De La Barra.
Lind was Authorized by President Will
son to assure Huerta that the power
of this government would be used TO
protect his person II he relinquished
the presidency.
Huerta hi s long realized that 1t is
only a question of time when he will
be overthrown and he has for some
time been ready to step down II his
abdication could be brought about in
a way to "save his face He has no
real intention to head the Mexican
army, but will use this pretext first to
step safely from his present perilous
position and later to get out of Mexico.
De La Barra was formerly Mexican
ambassador to Washington and has
held many other important posts.

And Tammany Boss Will Be Given
Chance to Answer Sulzer.
William Sulzer told the grand jury
in New York that he was removed as
governor as the result of conspiracy.
That conspiracy, he said, was framed
because he had refused to do the bid
ding of Charles F. Murphy, leader of
Tammany Hall, and join a criminal
campaign to loot the state.
The grand jury showed itself ready
to probe the conspiracy charge to the
bottom. Mr.. Sulzer was asked to pro
duce whatever documentary proof he
had to support his charges.
Charles F. Murphy made an en-
phatic statement in which he called
Mr.. Sulzer a liar, perjurer and said
that every word of the ex-governor's
testimony in regard to "Gaffney or
war" and other things were absolute
ly false. He said he is ready to waive
immunity and testify in the John Doe
proceedings. There is a strong proba.

FOUR BILLS ARE PREPARED
President Wilson Announces No Man
Who Applies For Job Will Be Named
on the Federal Reserve Board.

AT a conference between President
Wilson and Democratic leaders an
agreement was reached as to the text
of the bills that embody the supple
mental antitrust legislation recon-
mended by the chief executive.
The bills are four in number.
The bill forbidding interlocking di-
rectorates specifically forbids the hold
ing of directorships by one individual
in two or more financial institutions
enjoying the protection and provisions
of the new currency law.
Another bill defines the words "com-
bination in the form of trust or other
wise" and conspiracy in restraint Of
trade or commerce" and "monOpolies.'
The trade relations bill proposes to
add five sections to the Sherman law,
| defining what shall be classed as un-
lawful trade practices. 1t declares
that it shall be deemed unlawful to
attempt to monopolize trade, to dis
criminate in prices in the different
purchases of commodities in the same
or different sections or communities
with the purpose or intent to injure
or destroy competition whether BE-
tween purchasers or sellers.
The final section Of this bill allow s
an injunction to private persons or
firms against threatened loss or dam
age due to a violation of the Sherman
act upon a showing that the threat
ened damage may work irreparable
loss, but the petitioner for the injunc-
tion must give bond against damages

attempted to blow the door open and
in consequence the banks money is

After their unsuccessful attempt
with the explosive the robbers spent
several hours trying to get into the

crowbar. The best they could do was
to damage the vault beyond repair.

in negotiable papers," according to the
officials of the bank, but the burglars
