Diaz Movement Grows.

Douglas, Ariz., Oct. 25.--Felix Diaz completed the conquest of the state of Mexico four days ago, when he entered Toluca, the capital, accord ing to message received here by a Mexican identified with the Diaz movement. Diaz was said to be but a short distance from Mexico City with a force of several thousand men well armed and amply provis- toned.
 "A letter from General Medina Ba- ron. a partisan of Diaz, received here, said he was in complete con- trol of the state of Coiima. having three thousand men under his com mand. He said he had ample funds for the prosecution of his cam- naign and had sufficient arms and ammunition for sixty thousand men.
 The state of Oaxaca. with the ex- ception of the capital city of Oaxa- ca. has been overFun by the Diaz adherents. the latter said. While not under actual siege, the Carran- "a forces are said to be surrounded in such a manner that they cannot leave Oaxaca without precipitatlng a general engagement.
 The forces of Zapata. several thousand strong. were said to be in the suburbs of Mexico City, less than two miles from the most dense lv populated quarters.

KEEPING AHEAD.

It was an American business firm who some fOrty-three years ago showed the world how to perfect the incidental properties of cod liver oil and make it pleasant to take, which immediately popular ized cod liver oil thruout the whole world.
 Not content with this great sue cess. however, Scott & Bowne have continued to evolve methods and machinery to keep ScOtts Emul- sion finer, purer and richer than the limitations which patterned after their plans, and today. every pre- caution that human ingenuity can devise is employed to keep Scott's Emulsion the flnect and purest me- dicinal food in the world.
 The refining of raw cod liver oil as practiced with the crude equip ments available along the Norweg- ian coast has never squared with the ideals of Scott X Bowne and they have just completed a spa cious refining plant adjoining their laboratories in Bloomfield, N. J., which is refrigerated to the climate of Norway and equipped with un- usual sanitary devices which will forever insure a supreme quality of cod liver oil in every bottle of Scott's Emulsion and place it above and beyond all commercial substi- tutes which may contain the usual susnicious or adulterated oils.=Adv

COPELAND CASE IS
 GIVEN TO THE JURY
Court at Galveston Rules Shooting Justified of Black Threatened Vio- lence--Defendant Had Right to
 Visit Blacks Room.

Galveston, Tex, Oct. Shortly before midnight last night. the jury in the case of John Copeland, who is charged with killing of William Black, anti-Catholie lecturer, at Marshall, asked permission to go to , bed. Judge Clay Stone Briggs grant cd the request. The jury resumed consideration of the case this morn ing.
 The case was given to the jury at S:i5 last night, following the con- cluslon of the arguments.
 In the forenoon the state intro duced witnesses to show the actions of John Copeland in the forenoon and afternoon of February 5. Sher- . iif John Sanders of Harrison county was recalled to testify regarding the position of a bullet hole in the wall.
 This concluded the rebuttal, and after the defense had questioned two witnesses it rested.
 State Claims Right. James B. Stubbs, defense's attor- lney. said the defense would be will ing to give the case to the jury with
 out argument. County Attorney Charles H. Theobald, however, said that this would be preiudicial to the state, which he said had the right of opening and considering argu- ments, and Judge Briggs agreed to the constitutional right of the state to argue the case
 Judge Briggs, i'll his charge, said that the jury. if 1t believes from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that Copeland, not in defense of himself or others, with express or implied malice, shot and killed Black, as charged in the indictment,
 should find him guilty. He added that if the jury found that Copeland and others went to Blacks room and by any wrongful act, provoked difficulty with Black, with the in 1 tenaiOn of taking his life. or if 1t found they used words or acts to cause Black to attack Copeland or the others so that a pretext might be had to kill him, and did kill him. 1 then a plea of seif-defense would not avail.
 Had Right to Visit Black.
 He said that if the jury believes 1 that Copeland. in company with oth- 
 CTS, went to Blacks room to remon- strate with him not to maiign, slan- der and abuse the Catholic religion and the order of the Knights of Co., lumbus, and to ask him not to de- 1 liver a lecture against the Roman Catholic church and against the nuns and priests, and the women of the Catholic faith. then Copeland had the right to go to Blacks room and remomstrate with him.
 He said that if the jury believes that Copeland and others had been
 informed that Black and c. F. Hall were desperate and dangerous men and habitually went armed. then Copeland and those who accompan-
 jed him had the right to arm them selves in going to Blacks room. and further, that if Black and Hall made
 any demonstration to do Copeland
 or Hall serious bodily injury. or I Copeland thought that Black or Hal
 were making demonstration to dt Copeland a serious bodily injury
 then Copeland had the right to xii Black or Hall.

WARNS PEOPLE ID
 QUIT CHIHUAHUA
Camp Fires of Villa Forces Said to He Built Just Outside the City How Bandit Defeated Pur-
 suing Force.

San Antonio, Tex. Oct. 25.--Gen- eral Jacinto Trevino, commander of the Chihuahua garrison, has issued warning to residents to leave the city. according to a report that reached army headquarters on Wednesday from General Bell al Fl Paso. General Bell said Mrs Trevino was among the many re- fugees who have arrived at Fl paso from Chihuahua.
 Altho the report did not tell of the progress of Villas attack on Chihuahua, persons who reached the border told army officers that camp fires of the attacking force could be plainly seen from the city. The report contained a detailed &C., count of the crushing defeat re- |ceived several days ago near Palo- mas by Carranza troops under Gen. eral Ozuna at the hands of Villas command
 As set forth in the message, a force of about POO opposed Ozuna's advance and retreated before him. leading his army into canyon. For distance of nearly two miles the sides of this canyon were lined with hidden Villistas who poured a steady fire into the ranks of the Carranzistas as they attempted to advance.
 Another force, said the report. made an attack form the rear, se- curing control of the railroad and capturing all of Ozuna's supply trains.
 General Funston transmitted Gen eral Bells report to Washington without delay.

ACTS OF MEXICANS
 PUZZLES OFFICIALS
Members of Carranza and Other Prominent Families Gathering at san Antonio--Reports That Pro-
 visional President Win Quit.

Washington, Oct 26.-Oilicial re- ports received here today of the presence of members of the Carran- "a. Hucrta, 0bregon. Trevino and Madero families at San Antonio. Tex. have puzzled the observers who are seeking to find an explana- tion Of the gathering Of the non- comhatant Mexieans.
 some officials expressed the belief this afternoon that the economic and social conditions in Mexico are undesirable. and that these promin- ent Mexieans left the country for that reason.
 The state department had not, up to late hour this afternoon, re- cciyed any official reports on the rumors circulated hy General Car ranxa's enemies that his grip on the country is relaxing, and that he now is preparing to leave Mexico.
 The military situation in Chihua- hua has heen made very uncertain because of the activities of the ben diis, and this fact. together with the exodus Co San Antonio. of the women folks of the de factoista leaders. have been used in support of the view that Carranza's regime is wan- ing, but high officials here have nothing to show that such a devel- opment may be expected in the immediate future.
 Military experts here. however, are frankly pessimistic of the re- suit of the Carranza campaign against Villa and his bandits. They express the belief that the de facto troops have little chance to destroy the brigands because they have no transport trains and supply systems which permit them to chase the out laws into the barren hill country
 Ii is known that this weakness of the Mexican forces has been strong iy presented to the American Mex ican commissioners who have been in session at New London and At- lantie City in an effort to arrive at some satisfactory conclusion of the border differences. but thus far without success.
 To the minds of American army officers, this weakness represents a serious obstacle to prevent the re- storation of order in northern Mex spa

FRENCH DRIVE THE ENEMY AT VERDUN
Watched Germans Withdraw Troops to Other Fronts and Made Attack at Right Moment to Win--Nor-
 way Has Grievance.

Paris, Oct. -Verdun, once lost sight of, has sprung suddenly into the forefront in the public mind again.
 The German front on the right bank of the Mouse. where the French captured Douaumont fort ress yesterday. was literally burst and swept away for four and half miles like straw before the wind. The entire operation required slightly more than three hours.
 General Nivelle has for weeks watched the Germans withdraw her soldiers to other fronts, and, when the time was considered ripe, he struck the German lines like light ming.
 The result was one of the most brilliant operations of the campaign.
 The French losses were very light, 1t is believed. Now. only the Vaux fortress re- mains in the hands of the Germans. This attack was planned ten days ago. The artillery began the pre- | liminarv work, but rainy weather set in and the headquarters ordered
 the poslponement of the general att ltaek.
 When 1t was actually started. the preparation was brief but intense, and was over before the German commanders had time to bring up reinforcements. even if they had been available.
 When the tine came for the at tack. it was delivered by four col- Iumns Of a division each. The as- saulting French waves caught the Germans before they had recovered from the surprise of the attack, and swept them over trench after trench. sending prisoners in all the lines to the rear.
 West of the fort, the village of Dauaumont had been carried at the
 first run. and the French passed be- yond the village.
 Meanwhile a stiff struggle went on between the French and the de- l lenders of the fort. The Germans refnsed fn surrender. and the French killed nearly all of them be-
 fore they forced their way into the ruins.
 The news of this great success | by the French has caused tremen- dous public enthusiasm here. and l this is all the greater because of the general impression that the Nerdun battle was over and done with, and that both sides were con-
 tent with holding what they had
 won.
 The operation. proving that the French can strike smashing blow
 at Yerdun while carrying on an ex- tensive offensive on the Sc'--e7a has
 greatly increased public confidence
 and has gone far toward lessenine the depression caused by the loss oi Fortress Constanza

G. o. P. Getting In It's Work.

Conditions developing in Mexico during the last few weeks, and especially during the last three days. have indicated that manipulations are being conducted by q new pow CT. new force, hidden, of course, but nevertheless there Coming just before the national campaign. one is led to wonder whether the Republican leaders and Wall Street, thru enfssaries, are not participat- ing in the manipulations.
 A serious outbreak in Mexico at this time. or a Mexican raid on the American border, would ke a valu- able club in the hands of Candidate Hughes and his cohorts in their ef- forts to enharrass the administra- fion and President Wilson's cam paign for reelection. There are leaders in the Republican party who would mol hesitate to perpetrate such trick if they had the power.
 But if such is true the Republic ans responsible should be subjected to the scorn and condemnation of the American people. They should be excluded from American liberties.
 Mexico and it's present condition represent the result of explorations. The Mexican people. if left to them selves, probably would work out their own salvation. hui continually stirred by faetional leaders or har- ried hy monied interests. the aver age Mexican has become Sc hewil- dered he knows nothing of peace.
