Mexico City. Feb. 2S.--President
Huerta insisted today on furnishing a
special police guard for the American
embassy. The executive told Charge

ing OF marines to the capital for that
purpose and he himself would provide
a substantial legation guard. The
guard had not provided for the EN-.
bassy tonight. but six policemen did
appear at the American club. They
were acting under superior orders"
and the reason given for their pres.
ence was that something unpleasant
might occur and the government Il,
disposed to use every means available
to protect foreigners"

Berkeley, Cal.-Branding eugenics
as "the greatest snare OF modern
thought" Prof. A. l.. Koeber. Of the

the only things that will make better
human beings"

subject under discussion today. Nine

attributed to heredity has nothing
whatever to do with 1t, and Is merely
matter OF individual or national en-.

with the idea until they fail to distin-
guish between heredity which comes
from the inside and inheritance. which,

Business Methods on the Farm.

"The farmer who uses business
methods Is coming to the front The
other fellows are being weeded out"
according to f. A. SherAinger OF Mel
son. who is both an editor and
farmer. For twenty-five years he has
been a close student of agricultural
conditions in Nuckolls county. After
admitting that he was a crank on
businesslike farming" Mr.. Sherzinger
continued:
"Men who use their heads make
money in the farming game and this
state cannot be beaten. The shiftless,
the unobserving and the unprogressiye
are being lost in the shuttle. This APP
plies to both landowners and tenants.
"When a tenant does not get re-
suits nowadays he is soon informed
that the owner wants possession on
the first day Of March. Land has in
creased in value from the old fixed
price of $50 an acre to 800 and over.

FEARS FELT FOR STEAMSHIP.
The F. ]. Luckenbach. Several Days
Overdue From Port Tampa, Fla.

Grave fears are felt for the safety of
the American steamship F. J. Lucken-
bach. belonging to the Luckenbach fleet
Of New York. which is now several days
overdue on a trip from Port Tampa,
Fla. to Baltimore, with phosphate rock.
The vessel is reported to have left the
Florida port May IS. and should have
made the trip with ease in a week. The
fact that there has been no bad weather
On the coast to account for any serious
misfortune to the vessel, makes it posi-
Ole that she may have met with a ma
chnery mishap. and has put in some
out-of-the-way point to make repairs.
The vessel is not equipped with wireless
TO notify her owners of her plight.
Masters of vessels which left Port
Tampa after the Luckenbach sailed have
arrived at ports north of Hatteras, and
make no report of having seen anything
Of her along the coast. The Luckenbach
is an English-built ship, having been con-
structed at Sunderland in 1856. She
registered 2.5G4 gross tons. and is 2S2
feet long. She is under the command of

FILES STRIKE ZONE REPORT.
Col. Lockett Tells of First Exchange
Between Army and Strikers

Col. Lockett. commanding the United
States troops in the Colorado coal fields,
has reported to the War Department de-
tails of the first exchange of shots be-
tween the army and the strikers, which
occurred Monday night.
Secretary Garrison gave out this state
ment, based upon Col. Lockett's report:
"One Of our sentinels on a detached post
at Segundo. a place about thirty-five
miles south of Walsenberg in the Trini-
dad district, was attacked about 1890
on the night of May % by two men with
firearms. Considerable disorder ensued.
A full investigation was made. and it
was found that one of the attackers fired
from the strikers colony in the vicinity,
and the other. after firing. retired into the
colony. The return fire on the strikers
and pursuit of them by the soldiers ceased
because of danger to the other occupants
of the colony.
THE leaders of the strikers colony were
requested to produce the persons of the
two offenders. Up to my last dispatch l
do not know whether they complied with
this request or not"
