Kindly Attention

All members of the House and Sem
ate Saturday morning found on their
desks bound copies of the 1915 report
Of the United States Brewers Asso-
cation. with which they were much
edited If not refreshed. About the only
thing regarding these occurred
when the members were waiting the
report Of the committee to notify the
Governor that the Legislature was
ready to adjourn, when a prominent
member Of the House suggested that,
as he understood that the reports were
accompanied into Augusta by con-
signment of the goods produced by
the publishers of the reports and were
stored in the office of a House official
that a committee be appointed to OBJ
tain and see that the same was proper
Il distributed among the members.
( All hands laughed and the official
promptly blushed. Then arose anoth-
or member, who suggested further that
when the committee was appointed,
! the member originating the motion be
I NOT included, because the other mem
| bers wanted to be sure of their full
! share, All hands again laughed, in
Guiding the official and the Jmember.
1t was interesting to notice that but
comparatively few of the legislators
carried away with them the reports of
the United States Brewers Association.

THAT HERRERA HAS
PROVEN DISLOYAL

I'll Paso. March 2S.-Ignacio Enri-

state, today sent telegram to Consul
Garcia here declaring that General
Louis Herrera, commanding the Chi
huahua city garrison, was still loyal
TO Carranza.
Consul Garcia made public mes
sage from Governor Enrique reading:
your message referring to press re-
ports regarding General Louis Her
srera received. Have just shaken hands
with General Herrera. He is loyal to
the government of Mexico. Do not
leredit reports in this matter"
Whether the report Of Herrera's de-
|fection is correct or not, it is obvious
in military circles that much appre-
ahension Is felt over the situation at
chihuahua. Brigadier General Bell
said he had been advised that every
thing was quiet in Juarez. While re-
ports indicated there was Villa senti-
ment there, General Bell regarded the
ituation as satisfactory. General Bell
id every precaution would be taken
