THE P9AN-AMER|CAN CONFERENCE MEETS
 FOURTH TIME TODAY
Will Probably Be the Last Gathering of Body to Discuss Mexican
 Situation

Washington October S.-The fourth and American conference called by Secretary Lansing two months ago to consider the Mexican situation will be held at the state department tomorrow
 During the last three weeks the secre- tary and the diplomatic representatives of Argentina, Brazil. Chile, Bolivia. uru- quay and Guatemala have been gathering information with respect. to the strength of the different factionssin Mexico The general belief tonight was that after. the conference tomorrow there would be an announcement that recognition should be extended to General Carranza.
 It is probable that Secretary Lansing,
 who has conferred personally with the
 representatives of the different factions,
 will express to the conference his opinion
 that the Carranza government, having ac-
 quired military supremacy, and having
 promised to protect the lives and prop erty of foreigners, should be recognized
 The other diplomatic representatives will communicate this. together with their owr opinions, to their respective governments In the past, the action of the United States with respect to recognition has l been followed by the other Latin-Ameri can countries.
 Recognition Shortly
 The actual extension of recognition which would be done by accrediting oi an American ambassador to the new gov
 ernment would not follow for a. fev weeks, but the announcement of the in tention to recognize the Carranza au thority would be expected to have an i'm. | portant moral effect in bringing -undel | the Carranza banner many elements hith 1 erto opposed to it. 1 Conditions in some parts of Mexico show little improvement. according to consular reports, but officials here believe tha extension of recognition will stimulate re 1 construction. Some parts of Mexico ar' said to be returning to normal.
 The Carranza agency tonight made pub l lie cablegram from Jesus Aetna, for l eign minister at Mexico City. sHying i
 has been demonstrated that Carranza hal {, the food situation at the capital entirel. ; in hand and that there is no further neet 1 for assistance from the outside.

A Three Legged Chicken.

A curiosity in the form of a three
legged chicken made its appearance
at the butcher shop of Bollinger &
Goltz last week, taken in from some
farmer in the county. The butchers
started to dress chickens one day,
and when they got to this one it was
killed, and while the feathers were
being removed third leg, about five
inches long was discovered, and the
chicken had other deformities which
made it quite a curiosity The chicken
was turned over to City Marshal
Johnson for safe keeping and he
turned it over to Geo. COstakos, who
procured a gallon of alcohol and put
the chicken in it, and it has been at
tracing lots of attention at his sore.
The chicken was Plymouth Rock
springer, and weighed ~ pounds.

MOVIE FILMS STOLEN.
Six Reels of "Birth of Nation"
Destroyed at Mason City.

Mason City, Dec. 13.-Six of the
twelve reels of THE Birth of Ma

last night and burned. The films
were being shown at the Cecil Thea
ter and were attracting capacity
houses at high prices for seats, ad-

cents.
The play here aroused the ire OF
the negro population, and an effort
had been made TO have the police
authorities stop the exhibition. This,
however, was refused, 1t is not
known definitely that negroes were
responsible for the theft and destruc-
ton of the films. The police depart
ment is seeking 2 clue.
The argument over The Birth of
