DISSATISFACTION
OVER MONEY SEEN
IN EAST SONORA
Carranza Order Practical
" BanNuptS the Small Farm
er Who Has Received ConSti-
tutiOnaI Money for His Work.

Recent arrivals from Sonora report
much dissatisfaction in the Moctezu-
ma district over the money situation,
due to an arbitrary ruling which has
practically bankrupted the small for
mers i'm that section.
A few weeks ago a Gales official
came to Cumpa from Aqua Prieta
armed with legal papers declaring all
money worthless except the old fed
eral bank bills He warned the PEG
pie, under heavy penalty, not to re-
ceive any of the various other issues
Of money which were in circulation
nor to tender any in payment for arti-
Giles or debts Of any kind.
This was hard for the people to un-
derstand, as the principal kind OF
money in circulation was Carrauza
money, of different issues, but all Of
which was put out by the Carranza-
Gales government. There was no
villa money in that section and that
the government which issued the mon
ey i'm use should condemn it and give
nothing i'm it's place was, and still
is, something which the people can re-
gard in no other way than with sus-
picion. say returning travellers from
that section.
The justification for the new order
was that the Carranza money had
been counterfeited so much there was
more bad money than good in circu-
/ lation. It all passed as currency and
was so similar that only an expert
could tell the good from the bad
/ The new edict works a great hard
ship on the small farmers of the Moe
4 tezuma district. all of whom had just
harvested and sold their wheat, re-
ceiving Cauanza currency in pay
ment When this money was con.
demned it left them broke, and quite
naturally they are indignant.
For the Carranza-Calles govern
ment to annul It's own money and le
galize the old federal bank currency
which they at one time had condemn
ed is regarded by many residents OF
the Moctezuma district as merely q
scheme TO make money for those in
authority Naturally its value has
gone TO almost nothing and it can bo
bought up for a song and later de
clared legal currency, netting the pro
moters a huge profit on the transac
ton. This has been done in othel
parts of Mexico, and many residents
of the Moctezuma district say the!

SHIP IN DISTRESS
POUNDED BY SEA
British Grain Boat Sighted Sum
day May Have Sunk 800
Miles Off Coast.

Three hundred miles off the Ameri-
can coast the waves are pounding to
pieces the British steamer Florence
Pile, bound from Norfolk to Queens
town. 1t is possible that the liner has
foundered already, for IT was Sunday,
acco riding to the captain of the freight
steamer Harpalyce, that came in port
yesterday, that the vessel which was
so sadly in need Of assistance was
sighted
Captain Wawn, of the incoming ship,
from Swansea, Wales, said that when
ae sighted the Florence Pile he- cargo
of Grain had shifted, and she was list
ng heavily. Owing to heavy sea, he
said, he could rendc- no assistance.
II was in latitude 1906 and longi-
tude 67:4s that the sinking vessel was
last seen. A heavy gale was blowing.
Captain Pearn, Of the Florence Pile,
signalled the commander of the Har-
palyce that his vessels boilers were
leaking, that one Of his crew had been
washed overheard, and that another
had broken both legs. Officers and crew
were then dashed TO the bridge.
Although Pearn stated that he was
bound for Queenstown the marine rec
ords show that the ship left Norfolk
for Pylos, Greece, with cargo of grain.

We don't wonder at the perplexity Of
a friend who found 50 cent price
under the So cent price mark of some
sale
For the scarfs had been advertised
at SlOO and Sl.50 values, and frankly,
it looked like fake.
We haven't heard from them. but
perhaps others, too, happened to notice
the 30 cent mark and are owed an eX
PLANTATION.
None of the scarfs in this So cent
sale were so cent value or ever had
been offered at 80 cents.
Our buyer had planned to sell them
at 30 cents, but when the scarfs were
laid out and had mostly been marked
with the reduced price of 80 cents, the
scarfs looked so handsome and the
values were so great that one of our
officers questioned the wisdom of low
erng the So cent price at which we had
been accustomed, each season, to clear
ing out scarfs from S1.00 up.
So the goods were remarked So cents

proved that IN spite of the widespread
adoption OF this 80 cent price, our sort

Being fairly well assured that the
voters of this country are unwilling at
present to give him job, Theodore
Roosevelt Yesterday applied for work
at a Brooklyn station OF the Mayors

cation was passed at once, and he la
bored if exclaimng "Bully!" and
splendid" can be so described for
a half hour. The record says he was
paid of in groceries.
No. YOU are quite wrong; he did not
get any vegetables. Now that you
really are curious, you may as well be
told that he didn't get q thing. lie
didn't earn so much as carrot.
1t was the first time the Colonel had
ever applied for a non-political job
in the last seventeen years, and in his
motor trip to the downtown Brooklyn
unemployment workshops it was the
first time he had been given great
deal Of attention since his old pals, the
Progressives. ran out on him, as they
say in Mr.. Perkins's Office.

WASHINGTON SHAFT
HAS FIRST SUICIDE
Virginia Woman Plunges
500 Feet to Bottom of
Great Monument.

Washington, Feb. 23.-Mrs. ". T.
Cockrell, Of Del Ray. Va, jumped into
the elevator shaft of the Washington
Monument at a landing near the top
late to-day and fell TO the bottom, five
hundred feet below. She left in the
monument a note addressed 20 her
husband saying she was sure she could
not recover from an illness. Her body
was crushed by striking the sides of
the shaft on the way down and she
was dead before she struck the bot
tom.
Mrs. Cockrelrs farewell note was
written on a physicians prescription
blank and said she realized she was
burden" to her husband, and asked
that her body be cremated.
This is the first time the towering
obelisk. which was opened to the pnb-
lie in 1855 and has been visited by
millions Of Americans, has been the
scene Of suicide. Ten years ago a
painter working IN the shaft acEl-
dentally fell to his death.
An hour before the monument was
closed for the day Mrs. Cockrell went
in the elevator to the observation gal
lery, near the top OF the structure. A
few minutes later she walked down to
the third landing and clambered be-
tween the steel rails that separate the
elevator shaft from the stairway.
Sightseers screamed, and Miss Edna
Rockefellon, Of Takoma Park. rushed
TO the woman's side and clutched at
her clothing. There was a brief
struggle, but portions of her dress
gave way and Mrs. Cockrell plunged
Gown the shaft.
Mrs. Cockrell had gone with her hus-
band TO the office of local specialist
on nerve troubles a few hours earlier.
She was thirty-two years old.

In this work the committee has been
assisted by $50 societies and churches
and the police Of thirty-two precincts.
The Colonel asked Captain Bransiie!d
how care was taken to keep bundles
from the hands of professional beg
CARS. While the captain was explain
ing the Colonel said that this could
be done only by the assistance of the
policemen on duty in the section where
the applicant for relief lived.
The next stop was at the st. George
Hotel, in Clark Street. When the
Roosevelt car drew up several persons
came out of the hotel and from adloln-
ing residences to look at the eX-Presi-
dent. Il was a quiet curiosity and the
Colonel was not asked TO make
speech or wave his hat. He went to
the eleventh floor of the hotel. and
there saw several men preparing ban
dages and hospital kits.
"Fine!" he exclaimed. Splendid!
Splendid from the standpoint OF every
body"

He was given a hearty cheer at the
next stop, 1853 Atlantic Avenue, where
288 men were engaged in making ban
dages. As he stepped over the door
sill on the second floor the men sprang
up and gave him a noisy welcome. In
charge Of them was Carl F. Brill, Har-
ward, 'O8, a noted halfback. Mr.. Roose-
welt entered with Good luck"
"Three cheers for Teddy" one OF
the workers shouted.

MEEkER COUNTY REMAINS DRY
Judge Qvale Dismissed Contest and
Decided That Dry Majority
il % Votes,

The findings of Judge Qvale in the
county option contest were sent down
Saturday to the clerk Of the court.
The document is a lengthy one, recit-
ing all the steps taken and particular
izing on all the disputed ballots. The
conclusions of the court are as fol-
lows:
"As conclusions of law thereon find
that the contestees are entitled to
judgment, declaring that the special
election held in and for Meeker coun-
ty, Minnesota, on June 18th, 1916, was
in all respects regular. That at said
election a total of 3,259 votes or bal
lots were cast by that exact number
Of electors Of said county who voted
at said election; that of the ballots so
cast there were 1854 votes cast in
favor Of prohibiting the sale of intox-
icating liquors in said county; aud
1906 votes were cast against proht5-
iting such sale; that the ten votes
enumerated in findings No. 6, Z and
8 be rejected, and that the nine ballots
enumerated in finding No. be not
counted either way as votes cast on
the question, voted upon at said elec-
tion.
''That majority of the votes at said
election were cast in favor of proh:b-
iting the sale of intoxicating liquors
in said county.
That the contest be dismissed with
taxable costs and Disbursements.
LET judgment be entered accord
ingly." .-.. z..- r.
The costs in the case, somewhere
between $50 and 500, will have to he
paid by the contestant, VIM. Shoultz,
unless he should appeal the case and
get reversal, which is q very remote
possibility. The case may be constd-
cred as finally settled.-Litchfield In

Gives NEWSPAPERS Credit.


Newspaper publicity, according to
E. A. Peterson, assistant postmaster of
Willmar, Minn., has been one of the
main factors in upbuifding the parcel
post service and also q great aid for
the small town postmaster in educa,-
ing the public to it's use.
"Our greatest trouble has been try.
ing to teach the patrons how to avail
themselves of the SERVICE" Mr.. Peter
son said yesterday. Few knew how
to wrap parcels and hardly any under
stood to what extent the parcel post
could be used. The newspapers have
helped wonderfully by publishing ex-
planatory articles and as a result the
parcel post business is growing every
day. The farm-to-table feature of the
service is being taken. up rapidly, but
still there is great deal to be done
along this line" Minneapolis Trib-

DR.. G. D. FoRssELL
HAS NARROW EscAPE|
Was Run Over by Automobile Last
Thursday Evening But Suffers
No Permanent Injuries.

DR.. Gustav D. Forssell had a na1-
row escape from permanent injury, or
death, last Thursday evening, when
he was run over by an automobile.
The doctor left his Office shortly after
eight o'clock, on his bicycle, bound
for the Baptist church, On approach
ing 4th street he noticed an auto CON-
ing north from the Willmar hospital,
but he figured he had plenty of time
to cross the street ahead Of the car.
AS he crossed Fourth street, a boy on
a bicycle coming at full speed, darted
out from near the Capitol Shoe store
DR.. Forssell saw that a collision with
the boy was almost certain to occur,
but he turned out, attempting to avoid
it. However the two wheels came to-
gether, and the force of the collision
knocked the doctor to the ground.
Before he could arise, the machine
coming from the hospital, driven bv
Peter Olson of Svea, turned the cor
ner, and passed over him. He was
not touched by the wheels Of the auto,
they passed on each side of him. He
was dragged quite q distance, how
ever. -
That no bones were broken, or no
permanent injuries were suffered
seems very remarkable.
DR.. Forssell was taken to the hos
pital, and after the extent of his in
juries were ascertained, he was taken
home,-.
AS this is written he is resting COM
fortably and expects to be about in a
few days, altho his back, which was
severely wrenched, still bothers him.
