BRILLIANT AFFAIR
 AT THE JEFFERSON Piano Recital by Ernest HutchesOn Enjoyed by
 Large Audience

The Music Study club presented Jefferson theatre last night and the celebrated pianist was greeted by g large and discriminating audience. This was the programme.
 Bach, Chromatic Fantasie and Fugue.
 Beethoven, Minuet in E flat.
 Schumann, Senate in G minor; So schnell vie moeglich, noch schneider -Andantino-final
 Chopin Nocturne in c; waltz in E, minor; berceuse; etude in F op. 20, No. 8; Scherzo in B minor
 Faure, Romance sans paroles
 Debussy, Jardins sous la plule Min strels.
 Albeniz, Triana.
 Strauss, Tausig, Nachtfalter.
 Mr. Hutcheson was greatly enjoyed when he first appeared here six years ago, but he has broadened since then, and while he is an intellectual rather than an emotional player, his poetic insight and grace of feeling impart distinct charm to his interpretation of the more subtle compositions.
 Opening with Bach, MT. Hutcheson at once established his authority in the realm of old classic art. The fantasie was played with singular clarity as well as compelling brlliance.
 The novelties on the programme were indeed interesting, but the audience prob = ably found greatest delight in the more familiar pieces.
 For his first encore MT. Hutcheson played the Schubert-Liszt ''Du bist die Ruh' and Debussy's "Minstres was re- peated in response to continued applause.
 Although the programme was somewhat longer than recital programmes of recent years usually are the audience remained seated after the end in token of it's de- sire to hear more. Mr. Hutcheson then played Listzs beautiful "Liebestraum. D
 Of all the delightful artist recitals of the season none perhaps has given such high satisfaction as MT. Hutcheson's re- cital last night.

COMPLETES LONG FAST

Washington, January 1S.-(Specal.)
 When Monday comes, J. Ray Adams
 clerk of the woman suffrage committed
 of the Senate, will have withstood 30 days
 of fasting.
 Between his lips nothing within thai period will have passed saved hot and colo
 water. He is not observing Lent. He has taken no foolish oath to eschew fooo
 until women are given the right to vote
 He is endeavoring to cure intestinal indi- gestion.
 He announced today that he is feeling finely, and that he has not suffered except for the first few days of his fasting He declares, however, that he would not ob jec+ very seriously to eating a squar. meal
 Alabamians are interested not only be. cause of the unique and stocal experience of the young man, but because he was, ir 1912, employed in the presidential cam paign headquarters of Oscar w. Under wood. The story of his fast, becomins public today, created great deal of in terest.

persed patrons of a Mexican saloon. The
 rounding and jailing of suspected Villa adherents continued during the early part of the night. Street brawlss between MeXcans and Americans were frequent By 10 o'clock it was reported that knives frequently were used and all am-
 balances in the city were rushing through the streets, while physicians were hurried to all parts of the city Most of the fights were between American soldiers and Mex jeans. Police reserves were called out and the order was given to keep the people mov- ing in all downtown streets.
 Police at all hotels are searching out Mexicans and advising their departure. Reports were current late tonight of a secret meeting of cattle and mining men to organize the proposed punitive expe- dition in Mexico immediately with or without consent of the Carranza govern ment.
 Reports from Chihuahua City said Gen. l eral Trevino, with 300 men. was in the Santa Ysabel district hunting for Villa and his band. Chihuahua City was said to be practically destitute of troops

DfAA>AllCAD A IolORM CLl\ Ell Washington, January 13.-(Special) Senator Banl<head today was the storm center of a crowd which figuratively de- rided, and of another which violently ap- plaGded.
 The first declared-over the telephone as a rule-that the senior senator from Alabama had prevented the considera- tion in the Senate and the passage of the Susan B. Anthony amendment under the terms of which females might secure the right to vote.
 The other cheered the senator when he came into view, and he received tele- grams from certain violent opponents of the equal suffrage propaganda.
 And through all the excitement, the senator moved as one dazed He re- called that he had done nothing very seri- ous nothing. as he thought, of moment. And yet he was charged with having killed woman suffrage-and yet he was applauded for having done something considered most praiseworthy.
 So the senator looked up the record. The book tells the story as follows:
 The joint resolution (S. J. Res D proposing an amendment to the con- stitution of the United States confer ring upon women the right of suffrage was announced as next in order.
 MT. Gronna: I ask that the bill may go over.
 MT. Bankhead: Let the joint resolu- ton go over, Mr. President.
 The vice president: It will go over.
 MT. Gronna: I was under a misap- prehension about Senate joint reso- lution No. l. I thought it was the next bill which appears on the calen- dar, the bill CH. R. 562) to amend the act approved June 20, 191O authoriz- ing a postal savings system.
 The vice president: That bill has been recommitted, but another senator objected to the consideration of the joint resolution. This completes the calendar.
 Senator Bankhead spoke a single sen tence-and that possibly through no op- position to equal suffrage-and in trice he became a great man. on one hand, and a very mean old thing" on the other.

ANGRY AT EDWARDS

Fl Paso. Tex, January 13.-The crit icism that greeted Consul Edwards ap- pearance in a local hotel lobby today reached a climax in lengthy petltlon to President Wilson to remove Consul Edwards at once. The potion was Tor warded late today.
 sGo back to Juarez where you belong, was shouted at Consul Edwards by the mining men in the hotel as they sur rounded him in a threatening manner. You are Villa consul. You are not an American Go to Coahuila or wher- ever Villa is. We have IS American boys he murdered. You ought to pc proud ol your friend. -.esi i4 -tas "You cannot intimidate me-" Edwards calmly told the miners and turning his back he strode from the lobby MT Edwards, when informed of the petition for his removal circulated here today, said that if there were any charges against him he would answer them before the state department. The petition was circulated after MT. Edwards appeared in hotel lobby here and was received with shouts of criticism.
 INCIDENT CLOSED "The incident in the hotel lobby was started by a couple of drunken men,
 he said, land ] regard it as closed.
 'T have never yet since the state department ordered Americans out oi Mexico, two years ago, granted a sin gle passport to enter Mexico, and l have discouraged people from going into the country.
 "Whatever I have done has been un- der instructions of the state depart ment with the sole idea of doing what the government wished.'
 The petition asking MT. Edwards removal charged him with indifference toward the interests of Americans in
 Mexico.
 A petition addressed to former Pres ident Roosevelt asking that he use his influence in having the United States adopt a more drastic Mexican policy was telegraphed to MT. Roosevelt late tonight. The petition was signed by a number of mining men.

Washington, January 13.-(Special) Senator Underwood this afternoon asked Congress through a resolution introduced in the Senate, to furnish the Chamber of Commerce in Birmingham 1000 tents and other essentials for use by Confederate veterans in their annual reunion in Br- mingham in May.

diately called to active command as the senior ranking general, then in the capi- tai. He escorted Madero from Chapulte- pee castle to the palace on the first of the 10 days fighting and was placed in
 entire command of the forces of the gov ernment. He directed the government troops during all the subsequent fight ing and the conduct of these operations led to severe criticism on the part of Madero's friends It was charged that he did not carry out the operations with any spirit, that he disobeyed the com | mands of President Madero, and that be- l fore General Blanquet entered the city it
 was this conference which sealed the fate
 of the Maderos.
 l Huerta was the moving spirit in the 1 consummaton of the plot that resulted | in the seizure of the person of President l Madero and his brother Gustave.
 1 The assassination of President Maderc
 and his brother followed and in the mean. l time Huerta, with the military behind l him. had been recognized as the provi sional President.
 MURDER OF MADERO ! Huerta took office as provisional Presi- | dent on February 19, 1913. Three days afterward Francisco Madero, one or his brothers who had been arrested with | him. and Jose Maria Pino Suarez vice president under Madero, were assassin l ated while riding under guard from the palace to the penitentiary.
 This crime aroused a storm of indigna- | ton throughout the United States. In | many quarters there were demands for 1 intervention, but President Taft, who was Ton the eve of leaving office, decided to take no action which might commit the l incoming administration of President Wilson,
 Immediately on assuming office, PreSi- dent Wilson refused to recognize Truerta as the head of the Mexican government in spite of the fact that such recognition had been granted by Great Britain. At the same time the Maderistas rallied un- der Venustiano CarranZa, governor of COahuila, and Francisco Villa declared against Huerta.
 Following the refusal of President Will son to recognize the provisional Presi- dent, United States Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson was recalled from Mexico City. The situation between the United States and Mexico then remained at a practical deadlock until August when President Wilson sent John Lind, former governor of Minnesota, to the Mexican capital as his personal representative. MT. Lind presented certain proposals to Huerta, chief of which was that the provisional President should resign and permit national election at which he would not be a candidate. Huerta per emptorily rejected these proposals. JAILED THE DELEGATES In the meantime the Mexican Congress had been growing restive and one senator had the hardihood to make an open at

ianza troops had been dispatched to west ern Chihuahua with orders to kill or cap ture all the bandits concerned in the slay. ing of American citizens. He said every Carranza soldier in northern Mexico would be pressed into service, if neces- sary, to achieve this purpose.
 MEN WERE WARNED
 In a statement later Mir Arredondo de- clared that the men who lost their lives had attempted to reach their place or business before complete control of the region had been accomplishd by the Car ranza forces. He said they had been to pass through the Carranza lines, al- though Americans had been warned to keep out of territory in which guerrilla warfare was in progress.
 During the day Secretary Lansing made it clear that the United States would ex- pect from the de facto government evi- dence that the murderers had been pun ished and that if proper steps were not taken an issue might arise between the United States and the Carranza admin istraton. This statement was considered significant of the determination of the United States to enforce protection of its citizens in Mexico. The secretary added another warning to AmeflcanS Tn Mexico to leave districts where there is revolu- tionary trouble"
 As to the responsibility of the Carranza government for the murders, Secretary Lansing declared nothing would be de termined until all the facts were at hand These, it was agreed during the confer ence with the President. should be gath cred from every reliable source.
 In Congress today intense indignation at the latest outrage upon Americans ir Mexico still prevailed.
 Senator Lewis, democrat, introduced a resolution to authorize the sending oi armed forces of the United States into Mexico to protect American citizens and their property. Hesasked that it lie owe, without action for the present and this was done without debate.
 Representative Slayden of Texas. demo crat, made speech in the House declar. ing time had come for Pan-Americal action to restore peace in Mexico. He insisted that only the summary execution of the bandit murderers would satisfy the people of the border states

Ariz., January 13-Gen P Elias Gales, military governor of Sonora is preparing to send column of approx imately 500 cavalry into western Chihua- hua to aid in running down the remain ing Villa forces. according to an an nouncement here today by Ives G.

 PROMISED TROOP TRAIN The general promised to send out a troop train early in the morning. He gave permission for all foreigners who cared to go along to carry arms to assist in re- covering the bodies. A number volun- teered and later assembled at the Mexico Northwestern railroad depot.
 We waited from 3 a. m. to a. m Tuesday for the soldiers to entrain their horses and then got into small following train of three box cars and a caboose It took us six hours to get to Santa Ysabel, about So miles, and five miles short of the scene of the massacre
 The sun was getting low and we realized that if we did not complete our task we might never get thekbodies away We finally got Colonel Garcia In command of the troops, tS put 10 soldiers in our train and permit us to go ahead. We got within mile of the tragedy when we were stopped by two excited MeXicans who urged the crew to reverse the engine and we moved back to Santa Ysabel
 "We there found that the two men had been part of the train crew of Watsons train and had been held prs- oners and that the troops presumably bandits, were just over the hill await ing us
 Presently their advance guard topped the rise and waited there leis- urely counting our force.
 ARRIVED AT SUNSET "We finally persuaded the colonel to give us 60 mounted men to go with us abreast of the train and on which we now had mounted two machine guns. We got to the scene of the trag- edy just as the sun went down.
 "As the train came to a standstill we could dimly see the wrecked train that halted the Watson train, and then our eyes fell upon a patch of white that showed up against the rocky cut Heaped in a pile were IA bodies stripped of all clothing but the under shirts. Some of them were punctured with many holes, while without ex- ception the features were so disfig- ured by close shooting that identifica- tion was difficult. Without speech we ran for blankets to carry the dead into the car.
 "When they were all loaded our es- cort started back We only moved a few yards when the engine left the track; nearly an hour later we had 1t back on.
 "Final1y we got to Santa Ysabel about 9 o'clock to find all wires down We feared that they had been cut by Villa, who might be planning an at tack on us. We had 8 consultation and finally secured permission to pro- ceed to Chihuahua City, where early in the morning a committee took charge of the bodies.
 "The train had been footed of $20,- 900 in silver and currency apart from the personal gings of the men. It was rumored in Chihuahua City that the bandits had been advised of the departure of the train with the money. Sixteen thousand dollars of the cash lad belonged to Watson"

CARRANZA IS TOLD

Nuevo Laredo, Mex, January 13 Representations of the United States to the Mexican de facto government in connection with the massacre of for eisners near Chihuahua have been pre- scented. to Gen. Venustiano Carranza at Queretaro by John R. Silliman, ac- eording to telegrams here tonight Of fcial comment from General Carranza was lacking, but other officials of the de facto government at Queretaro ex- pressed regret over the wholesale kill ings, which they are quoted as saying were due to the premature entry, of American and other foreign mining men into territory just recently con- quered by the de facto government. The murders, they say. were due to Gen. Francisco Villas animosity to- ward the United States as a result of the recognition of General Carranza. Steps have been taken to pursue the bandits, it is reported from Queretaro and every effort will be made to cap ture and punish them.
 Gen. Jacinto Trivino has been sent to Chihuahua to take full command of the situation there. Gen. Alvaro Obre- gon still was at Queretaro tonight.

OF KAISER'S HEALTH?

Rumors of the state of the German Lmperor's health have again assumed an alarmist tone, but without authorl- tative backing. A Rome dispatch re- ports that the crown prince has been summoned to a council to discuss measures in case the Emperor's illness is prolonged. An Amsterdam dispatch attaches significance to the fact that the Emperor failed personally to read the speech from the throne at the opening of the Prussan Diet and says that the Emperor repeatedly promised to be present at this function
 An Amsterdam dispatch to the EX. change Telegraph company says:
 'The Emperor is still abed suffer. ing from his throat, and fever has set in." M s
 The correspondent fails to give the source of his information, however. The only news direct from Berlin quotes the Tageblatt as saying that the "boil' from which the Emperor is sui fering does not prevent his walking out.

Senator Royal has had the charters
of the Towns Of Tazcwell and oNrth
Tazewell rc-cnactcd and amended, at
this session of the legislature.
The new charters were rewritten,
including only such changes as were
necessary to suit modern and existing
conditions. The towns have been act
ing under charters hoary with age,
and lacking in few respects pro-
visions to meet modern conditions.
There is need now of new set of
town laws and regulations, and these
should be made public for the infor-
nation of the citizens, MS well as for
the officers thereof.
