his judgment, no other man in the

quite certain that Mr.. La Toilette will

that Former Governor Francis E. Nc

that an appropriation in excess of
$1,000 a year for road construction,
is not likely to meet with his approval
III order to keep within this appropria-

a new system of road building. To cut

the plan TO return to a county aid

A committee of the assembly has re-
ported out for passage the bill for a

a spirited fight on the floor of the
house on the suffrage question. The
administration forces have not openly
declared warfare on the referendum

ARTILLERY DUEL IN MEXICO
carranza Forces Use Big Guns In e.
fort to Dislodse Zapata's Army
From Capital.

Washington.-Anxiety has increased
in official quarters ever the situation
in Mexico City, as the state department
has been unable to communicate by
telegraph for several days with that
city.
Brief dispatches from Vera Cruz
said Carranza officials were much cha
grined at the apparent failure of Gen.
Pablo Gonzales to enter the capital
Reports that Gonzales was engaged in
an artillery duel with the Zapatstas
gave the first intimation that the villa
Zapata forces in Mexico City had de-
termined to offer resistance to the
invading Carranza army instead Of
evacuating.
Gonzales himself, It is indicated cut
communication between Vera Cruz and
Mexico City to isolate the zapata
forces.
This prevents the state department
from communicating with the Brazil
ian minister, and deprives all other
foreign governments Of information
concerning their diplomatic missions
and subjects.
Famine conditions in Mexico City
have been growing worse daily and In
vestment by a new army, It is feared,
will cause much suffering to foreign
ers.

preached the new governor to deliver
into his hands the grand seal Of the

sharply with his gavel. The Kisses

londonderry fighting is going on
along the sector of the Dniester battle
front in Galicia between zurawna and

official reports. The Russians claim
that they have punished the Austro-

Berlin admits this reverse, but the Aus
