Washington, d. c., July General
VictorianO Huerta, whose defiance of
President Wilson led to the seizure of
Vera Cruz by the American forces fif-
teen months ago, will not be permitted
to re-enter Mexico from the United
States at the present time
There are several ways Of prevent
ing til former dictator from entering
Mexico and thus complicating the pres
ent situation with a new revolution.
These are being considered today.
One of the ways under consideration
is to surrender Huerta to the Villa
commander at Juarez, and another is
to deport him to Spain under the I'm
migration laws.
General Funston has been ordered to
use the military forces Oh the United
States to prevent Huerta from cross
ing the border while at liberty on bail
If necessary "a guard will be placed
around Huertas home, and he will be
left otherwise under surveillance.

Interest Still Lacking.

However, there has been no awak-
ening of interest with the lessening
of farming activities, and if any as
pirant imagines he is going to get
the public mind in Mississippi lashed
to a high state of frenzy this year, he
is likely to get sadly disappointed.
The voters simply refuse, and that's
all there is to it.
In Forrest, as we'll as the other
counties of Mississippi, the crowds
at the picnics and barbecues are grow
ing larger but they are not paying any
especial attention to candidates - at
least, they do not literally hang on
the words of the spellbinders, as in
former years. In fact, the increase OF
interest in picnics is probably due to
the fact that the watermelon crop
is usually large and ripening very
rapidly.

not run the basec.

(By Associated PreSs.)

Washington, d. c., July 2.-Official
information on which to base an ac-
curate Judgment or circumstances un.
der which the British steamer Ar
menian was destroyed with the loss OF
American lives was lacking last night
and until details are available, Secre-
tary Lansing said the position of the
United States could not be determin-
ed.
From news dispatches. however,
and a closer reading Of official re-
ports, officials were inclined in the
view that as the Armenian apparently
refused to halt at the command of the
German submarine, according to inter
national law, the sinking of the yes.
sci was justified even though non
combatants were on board
There was little tension over the in
cident in official quarters here after
it became known the Armenian had
sought to evade capture. 1t was ad-
mitted that if official reports bore out
press dispatches. there was no likeli-
hood that any new cause of complaint
would be added to issues pending be-
tween the United States and Ger

One or two officials suggested that
since Germany had given warning
that enemy ships would be torpedoed
without warning, a merchantmen Or
rying contraband might be justified
in attempting to escape, since to halt
would mean certain destruction with
no assurance of an opportunity for the
crew to escape.
These officials argued that the Ger
man submarine might not order yes

Enoch Mckenzie, Columbia FARMER
arrested near that town last January
on the charge of having murdered
William Barnes, mill owner and plant
er. and who was brought overland to
Hattiesburg and placed in the Forrest
county jail Immediately after his ar
rest TO prevent his possible lynching,
has been released on $4,000 bond.
This step was taken at Columbia yes
terday afternoon, according to nfor-
nation received by the Forrest coun-
ty court officials this afternoon.
Mckenzie remained in the Forrest
county Jail until a short time ago.
when feeling against him at Columbia
had died down sufficiently to make it
safe to return him there to stand trial
There was a hung jury at the hrst
trial and Mckenzie was returned to
the Columbia jail. where an extra
guard was placed to protect, him An

bitterly opposed by the state. Habeas

these. also, were opposed by the dis
trict attorney. Yesterday afternoon,
according to news received here,
compromise was effected between the
attorneys representing both sides.
Mckenzie is now at liberty under a
$4,000 bond.
A Sensational Crime.
The crime with which Mckenzie is
charged was one of the most sensa-
tional j. the history of the country.
Barnes, while returning to his home
the night of January I. was set upon
and left on the side of the road with
several gashes in the neck and body.
Enoch Mckenzie was charged with
the crime, and for a while excitement
ran high. a special term of court was
called. At the trial the state sought
to prove that blood found on the
sleeves of Mckenzie was human
blood and evidence was introduced
that bloodhounds trailed Mckenzie to
his home. The trial lasted nearly
two weeks, resulting in a mistriai.
Many now predict he will never be-
tried again.
A..
locked up in the Hattiesburg jail, ef-
forts were made by fellow prisoners
as we'll as friends and acquaintances
of Barnes, the murdered man, and
himself, to gain some information
from Mckenzie that might implicate
him in the murder. All failed. how
