FELIX O'pAY, by =. Hopkinson
Smith. A story whose lesser
characters are most iovabIe.

f. Hopkinson Smith finished his
last book shortly before his death
and it is now published by Scribner
under the title OF Felix O'Day."
Although Felix is the central figure
and his tragic story the framework
OF the book. we care less for him
and his affairs than for the homely
life OF the expressman's family. the
collectors shop and the Catholic
priest who looks after his flock
with the true shepherds gentle
ness.
The story Is OF an Irishman ~
tile, who is betrayed by his young
wife. He leaves all TO follow her
and her scoundrelly lover to New
York, hoping to save her from her
self. He becomes desperately poor
and takes a position in the col
lector's shor, and rents<a room In
the expressman's house over the
Office. The wife is deserted by the
villain and comes TO dire want: she
even Is put in jail through a com
plicated plot OF her lover. Alto
gether 1t is not a cheerful story. but
the kindly. human side Of the Ger
man, the Irish, and all the other
Second-aye. New Workers we meet,
makes IL a lovable story. Felix Is
a rather strained character. and
does not come up TO Hopkinson
Smiths former heroes; he is deal
ing with a foreign element and does
not know exactly how to handle 1t.
Lady Barbara, the wife, is pitiful
figure, but she does not seem quite
real. II would seem that this book s
true worth and literary value lie
in the very things which are sup
posed TO be its background. s1.35.

PAN AMERICANS ARE FAVORABLE
 ID CARRANzA
Official Advice is Received That Argentine, Brazil and Chile Are in Accord With United States on Carranza Recognition
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O.-Othc1al advices have been received that the governments of Argentine, Brazil and Chile are in accord with the decision of the United States to grant recognition to the party controlled by Carranza as the defacto government of Mexico. It became known that some of the South American governments long before yesterdays conference had authorized their diplomatic representatives to favor recognition of Carranza in the Pan American deliberations.
 The president received from Secre- tary Lansing a report of the proceed ings of the final conference, but sev- eral days ago he indicated to the sec retary his acquiescence in the plan pro- posed. The form in which recognition will be accorded has not been decided upon but it may be done by formal notification to Elize Arredondo, the au- thorized representative here of the Carranza government. The extension of recognition is expected within a week. 2.
 This will result in an immediate or der for an embargo on arms to the fac tions opposed to Carranza, which will materially weaken the resources of the Villa element.

Carranza Is Pleased

VERA CRUZ, oct. 1O.-Carranza re- ceived with great pleasure the news that the Pan-American conference had decided to recommend his recognition, although he pointed out that he had received no official notice yet. He would not alter his plans for a trip through the northern states for which he expected to depart tomorrow. He said recognition stops all efforts of his enemies to bring about foreign inter vention. When peace is finally re- stored, he said, amnesty will be granted to all but not now

Austro Germans Advance

For some time the invaders. it is expected, will have Jo fight only the rear guards whose duty it is to delay their progress, for the Serbians will doubtless do as they have done on previous oc Casions-faH back until they reach positions in which they will have the best opportunity of holding their ground.

 It was planned to leave immediate Iy. but Sheriff Cash following the meetings and the selection of the committee of eleven declared he un- derstood from the mine managers that he was to select committee from among the names ratified this morning He said that a committee of seven had Teen suggested. The strikers had understood that the en- tire eleven were to go, but no par ticular objection was raised to the sending of a smaller committee.
 Sheriff Cash wired Manager Car michael at Fl Paso asking if the managers would confer with Hooker, Walsh, Beam, Tarble, Rico, Guerra and Gonzales. A reply was received from Carmichael but Sheriff Cash withheld it's contents. However, in view of the fact that the committee of seven left tonight and was accom- panied by Sheriff Cash and Adjutant General Harris it is presumed that the reply of Carmichael was favor able to the reception Of the commit tee as finally constituted.
 Last night the old conference com | nittee of twenty eight heard the word that Sheriff Cash brought from he managers that the committee l those ten of it's number as the best qualified to make the trip to Fl l oaso.

Fire originating probably from the cigarette smoking hoboes who make it Q comfortable lodging, completely destroyed the big hay warehouse of the Arizona Alfalfa Milling company at midnight last night. Other units in the plant were apparently un- touched, although no investigation was possible in the concrete and steel machinery building, that adjoins the warehouse on the west. A thousand persons. summoned by the intense glare and the high riding clouds of light smoke, watched the spectacu- lar progress of the flames, while a city fire truck with hose lines laid right up to the edge Of the property, stood by idle. Fire underwriters rules precented the use of the appa- ratus outside the city limits. which lie within 50 feet of the building.
