OF BURNING SHIP

Boston, January 21.-Capt. John A. Fish
of New York was convicted by a jury in
federal court today on a charge of burn
ing his auxiliary schooner yacht "Senta"
on the night of October 25 1910, in the
harbor of Edgartown to get $4,000 in
surance money. The penalty is imprison-
ment for life or for a term of years. Cap
tain Fish was allowed liberty under $10.-
coo bail
The yacht Senta was the second of
that name owned by Captain Fish, which
was destroyed by fire, The first was
burned in 1909 The owner, it appeared in
evidence recovered $4,000 in insurance.
The second Senta was found abaze one
morning while the captain and two women
guests were on board. All escaped Ac-
cording to the evidence no attempt was
made to put out the flames as the crew
feared an explosion of gasoline The de-
tense asserted that an oil stove in the
cabin started the blaze.
Captain Fish, though of Connecticut
birth, served through the Boer war as a
British soldier. For saving the lives of
10 comrades when he himself was severely
wounded, he was recommended for Vic
torla cross, but was found ineligible be-

ELECTION
TO Be CALLED To
FILL SHORT TERM
Capt. Frank S. Whites Name
Mentioned as One of
the Candidates
for Place

The Senate of the United States has
agreed that the laws of Alabama are
such as to warrant the governor legally
to call special election for the purpose
of filling the vacancy in the Senate caused
by the death of the late Senator Joseph
F. Johnston.
Since the formal action has been taken.
it is considered certain that the gover-
nor will issue the call within the next
few days, and that the special election
will be held on the date of the primary
election April g.
indicating that there will be one eandi-
date for the short term, possibly more.
and that neither of the candidates for
the long term, Oscar w. Underwood and
Il. p. Hobson, will enter this race While
neither has authorized a statement TO
this end, it is considered true that their
present campaign is sufficient to occupy
all their spare moments.
There was gossip yesterday in B,rminp-
ham to the effect that Capt. Frank 8.
White will become a candidate for the
short term Captain White has said moth
ing in this regard, but 1t is known that
his friends have been urging him to make
the race, and that he is now considering
the matter.
Captain White is one of the WIDELY
known men of Alabama, and should he
enter 1t is thought that he would be a
most formidable candidate He was a
candidate for the Senate in 1910 but lost
In the contest to John II. Bankhead.

months By mutual agreement the two
governments have kept from publica-

has been understood here that the nego-

principals had arrived at an i'm

The last Japanese note it is said, could
not technically be described as a protect
1t was a refusal to accept as convincing
the argument laid down tc the state de-
partment in support of its contention that
the California legislation was not in de-
rosation of Japanese rights. Each side
had stated propositions to which the other
could not subscribe, so there no longer
was room for argument.
AS no way has been found out of this
position under existing conventions, it is
understood that the last Japanese prop

treaty which might settle the issues be-

defining the rights of japanese In Amer

him as saying that the government could

MAY ABANDON
NORTHERN MEXICO
Believed Huerta Will Base
Hopes on Holding South
of Republic

Washington, January 21-Arny officers
here who have been closely following the
Mexican campaigns believe they see
sings in recent events of a purpose on
the part of the Huerta government to
abandon the whole northern tier of
Mexican states to the constitutionalists.
They suggested today that the move
ment of the federal troops at Laredo
might be really in the nature of an
evacuation and that eventually the 240l
federals near Laredo with the 300 at
Monterey and the 800 at Ciudad Porlirlo
Dlaz VIII be concentrated, perhaps ut
Torreon or Tampico to form part of
the line of defense which the Huerta
forces are supposed to be placing across
the country from east to west.
On the other hand the army experts
think it is essential for the constitu-
tlonalsts either to abandon the idea of
ultimate success or to press steadily on
to the south. Reports disclose the be-
ginning of famine conditions IN the
northern states as result of The pro-
longed rebellion.
One report from Sinaloa is that the
natives In the interior of that state are
not only almost without food, but are
nearly naked.
A result of these conditions il Is said.
has been to force number of the men
into the rebel ranks to obtain food
enough to keep them alive.
vera Cruz. January 21.-The former
Mexican minister of the interior Jesus
Flores Magon, had second conference
T1h 7 {a1 lao
ceeded to town nearby, first inform
ing Mr. Lind that he desired to confer
with him further before returning tc the
Mexican capital.
While Mr.. Lind reterates his state
ment that the conference was without
political significance and that he has
not been informed that Senior Magon
Is acting as the representative of Pres-
dent Huerta, it is said the ex-niinister
is the latest and most important of sew
eral prominent MeXicans to visit Vera
Cruz recently and converse with Mr..
Lind, all of whom, it is believed, have
represented President Huerta, although
without semblance of official character.
To Mr.. Lind these visits have been
welcome because they were informative
and of supreme Importance as symp-
tomato of a conviction now said to be
pressing strongly on the Huerta govern
ment of the necessity of coming to terms
with Washington.
1t is understood Mr.. Lind intends soon
to indicate his indisposition to receive
more ENJOYS from President Huerta un-
less they come officially accredited.
The belief is held in authoritative
quarters here that President HIuerta
feels the time has come to learn what
terms he may make with President VIII
son and the rumor is current that rtuerta
intends to take the field res1gning In
favor of Francisco De La Barra
AS matters stand it is intimated that
to give any practical value to further
conferences emissaries of President
Huerta may desire with Mr.. Lind it is
essential that these conferences be at
tended by representatives of the revolu-
tionists, for in no other way does 1t
appear possible to open negotiations for
peace, which has been insisted ON by
Washington as the first step.
