 Most of the passengers. who were in the rear cars, fled to the brush and some of them succeeded in reach ing nearby stations.
 The train was destroyed by fire, af-. er which the rebels tore up almost $ mile of track. 4 military train has been dispatched from Cardenas to the scene.
 Mexican officials have so far made no effort at retaliation against Amer lean residents here since the lifting of the embargo on arms from the United States but it is no secret that the close personal relations formerly existing between Charge OSShaughnessy and President Huerta are somewhat strain ed.

 BY BUSINESS MEN,
Brandeis Discusses Administration's
 Anti-Tru Efforts.

Washington, Feb. 12.-Business was advised to be free with its suggestions to congress during the shaping of the trust legislation programme. in a speech today by Louis D. Brandeis of Boston which closed a session given over by the annual convention of the chamber of commerce of the United States to discussion of pending bills affecting the business world. MT Brandeis told the delegates that the measures now being considered by house and senate committees repre- scented only the groundwork of the administration programme, and that in the work of perfecting them along lines suggested by President Wilson suggestions from the outside would be welcome
 These bills that have been intro duced are not administration bills" he said. They are the bills of those members who introduced them. find much in them that would see amend ed or corrected. and have found the greatest desire among their authors to get suggestions from you business men that will aid them in carrying out the presidents programme
 Free and unrestricted competition was not the presidents object, Mir. Brandeis declared, but rather regulat- ed competition. Absolute divorce of transportation from industry, he con- tinued, was essential to any legislative action that would set business free.

Former Confederate Turns First SpadefuI of Earth
 For S2,00O,O0O Memorial at Washington
IS REGARDED AS GREATEST OF ALL AMERICANS
Glowing Tribute ExSenaor Blackburn Who Fought Un-
 der Stars and Bars-Souheners in Senate Pay Mark of Respect to Martyred Presdent-Baldwin Believes Lin coin in Error When He Said That He Was Not Christian


 Washington, Feb. 12-While freezing winds swept across the Potomac from the Virginia hills where stands the Lee mansion at Arlington, bare headed southern officer of the Civil war today opened the simple exercises that marked the breaking of the ground for the construction of the great white marble memorial which the nation is about to erect to Abra- ham Lincoln. This day. the 105th an- niversary of Lincoln's birth, was chosen for the breaking of the ground rom which the S2.00e,000 structure twill rise as rapidly as the contractors can push the work.
 Tribute by Former Confederate.
 Joseph C. $. Blackburn, former sen- ator from Kentucky, was the first to sink q spade into the ground, and then with uncovered head he spoke in high praise of the memory of the president against whom he fought half a cen tury ago.
 "This memorial will show that Lin coin is now regarded as the greatest of all Americans said eX-Senator Blackburn, and that he is so held by the south as Well as the north. To- day we let the country know this great work has been begun and will be carried on steadily until its comple- tion."
 Southerners Show Respect.
 In the senate today it was a south erner who made the motion to ad- journ out of respect to the memory of Lincoln. The motion was made with out prearrangement by Senator Over man, of South Carolina following the reading of the former presidents Get tysbuTg address by Senator Bradley of Kentucky. It was Senator Bradley who had suggested that the senate might well pause g moment to observe the birthday aDNiV erSagN
 The house, too, paused in it's deiib- eratonS to pay it's respect to the mem oFy of the great emancipator.
 Governor Bald~in's Speech.
 Governor Baldwin said in part;
 No one whose opinion was worth having has ever doubted thar Lincoln was @ strong character. II took the south a good while 10 be convinced that fs was also a good character, but they admit 1t now.
 Soon after his nomination for the presidency he said to q friend: There are in my town t7Fenty-three ministers of different denominations, and all but three Of them are against me. I am not 9 Christian; God knows I would be one. But l have carefully read the Bible, and l do not so understand this book. These men know that I am for freedom everywhere, so far as the con- stitution and the laws will permit; and that my opponents are for slavery. Doesn't it appear strange that such men can ignore the moral aspects or the contest? A revelation could not make 1t plainer to me that slavery or the government must be destroyed" Wrong in Saying He Was Not a
 Christian.
 Lincoln, most of us probably would

agree. was wrong in saying that he was not a Christian. The Christian is not he who believes in certain doc trines, who says Lord. Lord; but whom the Lord has never known It is he who is Sorrowing and laboring for the least Of these. his brethren, in the spirit of the master, as Eincoln sor- rowed and Iabored for the slaves
 EYerypody knows that Lincoln had keen wit. It served him well when on the stump. He told no stories without a point He would sometimes tell one which was broad and perhaps smutty- IL was fault, but let us remember that he told it not for the vulgarity or the smut, but for the turn of thought and wit. Nor was it a fault V hich he committed often. It is the misfortune, perhaps the just retribu- ton, of those who allow themselves to repeat indecencies. that their hearers seldom forget it and seldom forgive it.
 Had Vast Fund Of Common Sense
 Lincoln's habit of mind was calm and cool He did not march impetuously forward. He was deliberate. He took his time. He reflected while others talked. He found no trouble in keep ing still till he felt it was time to strike. He had as certain self -distrust CT, to put 1t in another way, a trust in the general Judgment of the people. and sincere desire to discover what that judgment Is.
 A great man does not talk overrnuch. Lincoln knew the value of speech. He knew also the value of silence He had vast fund of common sense.

SEPTEMBER MONTH FOR
 TRANS ATLANTIC FLIGHTS Conclusion Reached by Aero Club of
 America.

New York, Feb. 12.-After making a detailed study of weather maps of the north Atlantic ocean, the water flying committee of the Acre club of America decided today to recommend the month of September to aviatorS as the best month in which to attempt trans Atlantic flight.
 We have found that June is a bad month for the flight at St. Johns, the proposed starting point" said Henry A. Wise Wood, chairman of the com mittee, because about tWo-thirds of the month is habitually foggy, and the fog extends out from the Grand Banks for a distance fourth of the way across the Atlantic Over the north Atlantic in general about 25 per cent. of the June days are foggy.
 September is the month of all the months to look to, because the winds take on an autumn freshness and the fog at Newfoundland is only present for 30 per cent. of the month. Over the course in general the foggy days amount to , per cent. The September fogs, too, are not thick, impenetrable fogs of the early summer"

NEUTRALITY LAWS VIOLATED.
Band of Huerta's Recruits Dash
 Across the Rio Grande.

El Paso. Texas. Feb. 12-The fed- era1 recruits who made @ successful dash across the Rio Grande at Ysleta last night apparently were safe from commander, General Francisco Villa, at Juarez, said attachments of his men were hunting for them.
 Eleven prisoners, including Jose Marina Martinez, were brought into the Juarez citadel. Reports that 27 of were not confirmed. Martinez is said to be relative of the federal general, Pascual Orozco.
 Four Mexicans captured by Captain Davidson of the Thirteenth cavalry last night were ordered kept under riguez, one of the number, said that before the arrival of the American troops some of the Mexicans escaped with p horses. This statement cor roborates that of Corporal Kaufman of the Fifteenth cavalry, who saw three small attachments of Mexicans, all mounted, dash from a corral to- ward the river. Rodriguez said he was employed to care for the horses by the Mexican federal consul at Fl Paso. Alfredo Musquiz. but this allegation was denied by that official
 No owners could be found for the horses saved by the arrival of the troops last night. General Hugh L. Scott, in command at Fort Bliss, has instructed his officers to have nothing to do with the animals. lest the army be put to the expense of caring for them. There are about 200 of them, or almost enough to have mounted the Mexican force, which is said to have numbered 25S men.
 As the incident constitutes a viola ton of the neutrality laws of the United States, the investigation falls into the hands of Robert T. Neil, the United States district attorney sta- toned here.
 Apparently tf1e Mexican recruits in- tend to join another federal force in the vicinity of O5agua. hamlet be- tween, here and Chihuahua Villas spies reported that this force planned to wreck the railroad near Villa Anu mada- Attached to one of the saddles saved last night by the Americans was a box of dynamite fuses, which is re- garded as indicating that the railroad was the objective of the band.
 The most important information available today came from J. Todd McClamy. Villas cattle agent on the American side McCIaany told report CTS that he succeeded in getting two spies among the plotters as Ys1eta, where they obtained valuable informa- ton. McC1amy notified Villa, who sent o1lt spies along the river bank.

Desperate Measures Resorted to by
 Mother of Starving Children.

Brussels, Feb. 12.-A pathetic scene in which Queen Elizabeth was a cen traI figure was witnessed in front of the palace tonight As King Albert and Queen Elizabeth were leaving the palace in an automobile to attend a performance of "Parsifal," a poorly clad woman threw herself on the ground in front of the machine. The chauffeur threw on his emergency brake and stopped the car abruptly, just in time to save the woman from injury Queen Elizabeth leaned out of the car to ascertain the trouble, and the woman seized her hand and sob- bingly told her majesty a touching tale of a broken home and starving chill dren. The queen soothed and com forted the woman and then called an equerry and ordered that everything necessary be done for her.
 While a lady of the court was pro- ceeding from the palace to buy food and clothes for the children of the woman, she was knocked down by a street car and badly injured.

 According to Mrs. Bond. she, met the senator in Oklahoma several years ago, and went to Washington last spring when her husband, Julian Bond, was a candidate for appointment as internal revenue collector here. She visited Senator Gore in the interest of her husbands candidacy several times at his office, she said. where on two occasions, she charged. he seized her.

 Mrs Bond was closely questioned by attorneys for Senator Gore as to her acquaintance with politicians in Okla homa, laying the foundation, it Is be- ieved. for introduction of testimony in support of their contention that the suit is the result of a political con- spiracy. Senator Gore is 8 candidate for renomination at the Oklahoma pri- Inaries in August.
