MEXICO'S DARK HORSE

Manuel Vasquez Tagle seems to
be the dark horse" in the contest of
the presidency of Mexico, and there
are many who believe he is one of the
few men who can save that distracted
country.
The name of Tagle disappeared
from publications on current Mexican
affairs when Victoriano Huerta leaped
over the back of Pedro Lascurain into
the presidency or the dictatorship.
Tagle had been minister of justice UNI
der Francisco Madero and he not only
refused to accept Office under Huerta,
but he declined to take the man by
the hand. Yet the man lived there
after in Mexico City, walked the
streets, went to the theater, enter
tanned his friends at his home and was
not harmed.
He has lived in Mexico City ever
since and no one else has harmed him
or tried to harm him, whether he be
Zapata, Villa, Carranza or what not.
The mobs have never looted his home,

ANSBERRY WAS SILENCED

Representative Timothy Ansberry
of Ohio is talker whose voice pene-
trates to the deepest recesses of the
capitol, and when he speaks the roof
reverberates with his booming. A
whisper from Ansberry is equivalent
to an ordinary mans talking, so the
feat of telling joke in an undertone
is one which he will be obliged in fu-
ture to deny himself.
One day Ansberry was telling
good story TO a fellow-member in
what he imagined was, like the voice
of Annie Laurie, "low and sweet"
But it resembled the echoing of dis
tant cannon from the field at Ma
nassas
The gentleman who was speaking
showed his annoyance at the sound,
and Speaker Clark thumped his
gavel. Clark, who was once school
teacher in his days Of callow youth,
knew just what to do, so he called
Ansberry up to the desk.

MRS. NICOLL A REAL WAR NURSE

Mrs. De Lancey Nicoll, the beau
tiful darling of New York society and
the most famous woman genealogical
expert in the United States, was as
serious when she took that swift
course in hospital nursing last winter
as she has been with everything else
she has ever undertaken.
She is now in the French war
zone, dressed in her blue and white,
and seriously giving her services
wherever they are needed. She is
only one of that bevy of society wom-
en- who took up rapid-fire courses in
nursing when it became the fashion
to carry through her announced plans.
She not only knows fundamentals
Of nursing, but is fine cook as web.
And as convalescent soldiers can thor
oughly enjoy appetizing food, she is
bound to be popular among the pa
tients in the army hospitals.
Beyond this, she is so exceptionally
good looking when in street or eve
ming garb that she must seem like a

YAZoo & SOUTHWESTERN RAIL
WAY WILL TAP RICH TIMBER

PLAN BAPTIST ENCAMP MENT
More Than 500 Representatives OF the
Baptist Church Expected at Hat
tIesbur0 (Mlss.) Meeting
In July.

Yazoo City.-The preliminary sur
vey of the Yazoo & Southwestern rail-
way, between Yazoo City and Carthage,
has been completed, and the surveying
party has returned to yazoo City to
make maps and drawings from their
field notes. R. H. Douthat, secretary
Of the Yazoo Commercial Club, will go
to work at once to cur deeds to the
rights Of way. If these can be secured
promptly, the work of actual construc-
ton of the road will speedily follow.
The line runs in a generally esterly
direction, going through Benton, cross
ing the Big Black river near Vaughan,
on the Illinois Central Railway, and on
east through Camden, in Madison coun-
ty, thence due east to Carthage. The
people of the latter place have secured
the rights of way all the way through
Madison county and through Leake to
Carthage.
The new route will tap a very rich
section and will supply transportation
facilities which have long been needed
in the development of territory rich IN
timber and agricultural possibilities.

OTHERS MAY JOIN ALLIES
R%oumania, Greece and Bulgaria are
Believed to Be Nearing the Brink
of the War.

In the allied countries, Italian inter
vention is hailed with delight, and in
the Italian quarters of London and
Paris there have been enthusiastic
demonstrations and cheering farewells
TO the Italians leaving to join the col
ors.
Roumania, Greece and Bulgaria have
made no move. The government of
Bulgaria has reiterated that 1t will
continue neutral so long as Bulgarian
interests are not directly affected, and
1t sees no reason why they should be.
The opposition, however, is voicing the
opinion that Bulgaria should seize the
opportunity to Join with the allies.
Bulgaria may be drawn in through
an incident which has arisen between
her and Turkey over the seizure by
Turkey of a number of Bulgarian rail
way cars loaded with goods. Sofia has
lodged q protest against this action.
Roumania may be affected by change
Of fortune in the battle and In Middle
Galicia.

gotiating with the allies. King Ferdi'
nand has reviewed the army. Great en-

BECKER NEAR DEATH CHAIR
Supreme Court of New York Affirms
the Sentsnee Against Former
Police Official.

Albany, n. Y.-Charles Becker, the
former New York police lieutenant,
must die in the electric chair at Sing
Sing within the next six weeks for the
murder of Herman Rosenthal. the New
York gambler, by four gunner July
16, 1912, unless Gov. Whitman or the
United States supreme court inter-
venes. The court Of appeals Of New
York has affirmed Becker's conviction
by q supreme court jury at his sec
ond trial several months ago.
Executive clemency for Becker Is re-
garded as remote. AS district attor-
ney Of New York county. the present
governor prosecuted the former police
lieutenant both times.
Speculation Is rife as to whether
Becker facing death will not seek to
save his life by making revelations In
connection with the so-called police
system" in New York to the governor.
Regardless of his connection with the
Rosenthal case, Becker is believed to
possess information that would be in
valuable to state and New York city
officials. The statement has been
made frequently that the trial of Beck
er and the four gunner who shot Ro-
senthal only scratched the surface of
the true conditions in New York police
circles.
Becker, informed Of the higher
courts decision, received the news
with the same GOODNESS that charac.
terized his attitude throughout his
trials.

City.

London.-Amidst the activities on
land and sea and In the air, from the
Dardanelles to the waters around the
British Isles, Middle Galicia remains
the Gene OF the greatest and most Inn
portant fighting. There the Austrians
and Germans continue to batter at the
Russian lines northeast and southeast
of Przemysl, and, according to reports
which have not been confirmed by Of
fetal statements, they have severed
communications between the former
Austrian fortress and Lemberg.
II these reports are true, Przemysl,
which less than three months ago was
taken by the Russians after a long
| siege, again Is surrounded. 1t would
appear. however, that while the Teu-
tonic allies are pressing hard on the
fortress, they have not yet forged the
circle, the completion OF which is be-
ing stubbornly opposed by the Rus
SLAMS.
The Germans have forced another
crossing OF the San river, ii miles
north OF Przemysl, and have extended
by several miles the zone held by
| them east OF the San. To the south
east they also claim to have broken
the Russian lines and to have taken
some important positions.
In the west the French and British
report further advances, which are
generally denied by the Germans. The
latter, who themselves have made an
other air raid on South End, make no
reference to the French statement that
18 French airmen flew owe Ludwig
shafen and, dropping bombs, set fire
to a chemical works.
The allies report continued progress
against the Turks on the Gallipoli Pen
insula. During the armistice which the
Turks asked for they buried more than
5000 dead, while the British gathered
up no less than 10000 Turkish rifles
proof that the Turkish losses have
been extremely heavy.
These losses were sustained In ter
rifle counter-attacks delivered against
the positions which the allies had
strongly fortified. The Turks came
under the fire of the ships at the same
time.
