TORPEDO BOATS
 DRIVEN ASHORE
Eighty four Officers and Men of Paulding Hanging
 to Vessel on Va. Coast.

Norfolk, Va, Oct. 21.-Eighty-fo four officers and men dressed in life belts, are clinging desperately to the United States torpedo boat Raulding tonight while the little craft is apparently pounding to pieces in heavy seas in side Cape Henry, about half mile eff Lynn Haven inlet.
 Half mile away the battleshlps Michigan and Deleware, wirelessed 10 go to the rescue, are anchored, in constant wireless communication with the Paulding. Closer ill, but also unable to send out life boats or land assistance, the repair boat anther and the supply ship, Dixie, are standing by waiting for the wind and seas to abate.
 At midnight the Paulding had been ashore for P hours, having been caught by a terrific notheast gale and that swooped down on the en- tire Atlantic flotilla assembled for target pcactice off the Virginia capes. The little vessels fled for safety and the Paulding, together with the Bur- rel and others, put in Linn Haven bay In the heavy seas the anchors would not hold and the Paulding and Burrell went ashore. The latter managed to float herself, and with a hole stove in her bow, was forced to call on the Dixie for assistance. The Jubet was also driven on sand bar, and got off only after on of her pro- pellers had been broken off.

NURSE, 'FRIEND,'
 GOES WITH BABY
Little Daughter of St. Louis Manufacturer and Nurse
 Disappear.

St. Louis, Oct. 27.-Virginia, 4-year- old daughter, of Harry K. Gerard, St Louis manufacturer, formerly of Bonham, Texas, disappeared yester- day morning with Julia Krasusky, a nurse who had cared for the child since she was born. The nurse was to be discharged Sunday and she is believed to have started for Texas with the child rather than separate from her. This belief is based on a post card received by MT. Gerhard to- day from a friend and postmarked, Gerald, Mo. The card says:
 Virginia and l became good friends and playmates on the Rock Island to- day before l learned who she was. She is fine little lady" 5.l
 As the card was dated Monday it is assumed that the nurse took the child yesterday morning on Kansas City bound train of the Chicago, Rock 1s- land and Pacific railway. If this be true they arrived last night in Kan sas City. The nurse previously had said she would go to Greenville, Tex as, and it is now thought she left Kansas City last night for Texas. |

ATTEMPT MADE TO
 ASSASSINATE VILLA
trgcntinian Who Murdered German Consular Officer Several Years Ago Shot After Con-
 ieSsing.

Mexico, City, Oct. 27.--Carranza will quit if Villa will. This tersely is the situation developed today at the mili- tary conference at Aguas Calientes over the resignation of the first chief of the constitutionalists, con ditioned upon the agreement of the northern leader to retire to private life.
 Carranaza rendered his resignation solely on the understanding that the conference would thus be in a position by it's acceptance or rejection to act freely in manner which would in- sure prompt pacification of the coun- try.
 If his removal will hasten this end General Carranza is only too willing he says, to step out, but if his with draWal means the installation of Villa, he considers that it would be better that he remain where he is.
 In the view of Carranza both he and Villa should step out and leave the field clear for new deal" This leaves the next step squarely up to Villa.

PUT PRIVILEGE TAX
 ON COTTON--POYNER

Little Roc, Oct. 27-Horace G. Poy- nor, of Harrison, representative of Carroll county in the Arkansas legis- lature years ago, was in Little Rock this week en route home from Mis- sissippi. He advances the idea that one effective remedy for the over production of cotton is to place a privilege tax upon its growth. He says that if the state would assess each bale of cotton $1, or $5, or any sum agreed upon as just, it would not only reduce the production in the state, but would pay the state debt and solve the problem of the general revnue.

Fl Paso, Texas, Oct. 27.-An attempt has been made to assassinate Gen Francisco Villa by an agent said to have been commissioned and paid by Gen. Pablo Gonzales, General Car ranza's staunch supporter, said a mes sage sent by Luis Benavides, General Villas first secretary. The Would-be assassin, Francesca I. Mugia, was exc cuted after making a confession be- fore George C. Carothers. the Amerf- can consular agent.
 The telegram from Villas secretary said Mugia was apprehented at Quad aloupe, where Villa with his troops has been awaiting the outcome oi the conference. The official report stated that the prisoner just prior tc his execution told the Villa officials in the presence of Consul CarOthers that he had been paid a large sum of money by General Gonzales at Mexico City. In his possession was found in eliminating evidence, it is said, and a loaded pistol.
 "Mr. Consul, please advice your gov ernment and my family that died a traitor" Mlgia was quoted as having said.
 The accused was an Argentine sub- ject. 1t was Mugia who assassinted a German consular official in Mexico City some years ago.
