Washington. Feb. 3. It was an
nounced last month that an invcstiga
tion WAS being made of the conduct
OF Mr. Arnold, who was then in Cairo.
He had been charged by American resi-
dents in the Egyptian capital with the
Utterancc Of unneutral sentiments.
III health is the reason assigned by
the State Department officials of the
return of Mr. Arnold They say he has
been under great strain. and is in a
state Of nervous breakdown. from
which II may take him long time to
recover.
Privately. however, 1t is admitted
that Mr.. Araoli's unneutral utterances
will prevent his return TO Cairo, how
ever little they may have had 10 do
with his departure from that post.

GETTING 4 JURY
IN MURDER CASE
Charles Darlington, Charged With
Staying Lester Nesbit, Is
Placed ON Trial.

Trial of Charles Darlington, colOred,
charged with the murder OF Lester Nes-
bit, Burlington car repairer, started in
circuit court this morning. State S
Attorney F. E. Thompson and A. c.
Edwards, his assistant, are prescott
ing and Witter & Walker, H. NJ. Nc
Caskrin and Judge jeremiah Sullivan,
the latter former municipal judge of
Chicago, are defending.
Darlington was found guilty of muir
der in former trial and was given IS
years in the state penitentiary. Judge
R. ". Olmsted, however, granted a new
trial. Darlington, who has been in jail
for many months, plainly showed the
effects of his long Incarceration. He
was accompanied by his mother.
1t is the contention of Darlington
lawyers that he shot Nesbit in self de-
Tense. They claim there was fight
in a Burlington car and in the melee
the weapon was discharged. 1t is their
claim Nesbit, through his own reck-
lessness and negligence. after being re
leased from the hospital, was again
taken i'll, and later died.
Work of selecting jury is expected
to be a slow process because of the
wide publicity which has been given
the case.

MEX|CANS AGAIN
RESPECT yANKS

Namiquipa. Chihuahua, May II. via
wireless to Columbus, n M)-Ameri-
can residents of this section of Mex
leo have assured General J. J. Perish
ing. commander of the punitive ex
petition, that the American troops
have restored respect on the part of
the natives for United States soldiers
to degree not existing for five years.
For some time Mexicans had sheer
ed at the fighting ability of the Ameri-
cans, some of them honestly believing
afraid to engage any Mexican COM
mand. After the Ojo Azules fight,
however, signs of the growing respect
on the part of the natives became
more and more manifest. American
non combatants living in the vicinity
were treated with a courtesy which
astonished them and the like of which
they had not experienced for years.
These same Americans, however
have openly expressed their intention
of leaving Mexico if the expedition
airy command is Withdrawn. They be-
lieve that a native uprising will re-
suit Immediately the protection of the
American guns is removed. Numerous
threats on the part of Villa and lieu
tenants to punish persons dealing
with the Americans also have caused
some Mexicans and Chinese merchants
to announce that they, too, will fol-
low the American command from Mex
leo should it be withdrawn.

J|TNEYbUS men
SEEK RE-HEARINC

Announcement was made this after
noon by c. S. Roberts, counsel for jit-
ney bus drivers, that there would be
filed in Springfield late this afternoon
by c. Z. Stevens, associate counsel, a
petition with the public utilities COM
mission asking for a rehearing Of the
recent jitney case, in which drastic
order was issued restraining the driv-
ers from operating machines on the
thoroughfares as they were public
utilities and as such certificates of
necessity and conveyance were neces-
sary.
Mr.. Roberts states that the ground
for the petition for rehearing is that
since the first petition was filed. all of
the drivers have changed their plan Of
operation and are now taXicabs and as
such they do not come under the juris-
dictiOn Of the commission.

MADE A RECORD RUN.
And at That He Only Made His Team
mates Furious.

I i'i&-No VI 'S0o.
| Two small college teams played a
football game in New York state. The
| winning team ram up something like
los points 10 the others nothing. yet
the most sensational run of the game
| was made by Il member of the defeated
| team.
Toward the end of the game the ball
was fumbled by one of the backs ON
the winning team. The ball rolled out
toward an Opposing player. who imme-
dlafely swooped down upon it, gather
ed ii under his arm and fed down the
field like The wind
AT this howl went up from the
spectators that might be heard for
miles That shout gladlcned the heart
of the runner, for lie realized that he
was at last doing what he had always
longed to do. He was about 10 make
football history. fh
Tle had about Il hundred yards to
run, and he determined TO reach that
goal or die. One OF his teammates ran
toward him ANA shrieked. The runner
put OH an extra bursc OF speed. 1t was
very encouraging 10 he applauded by
players and spectators alike.
Presently he heard feet pounding
heavily behind him. But he felt cont
dent lie could never be caught. The
ground sped BY under his feet, and the
ten yard marks were passed as though
they were but II few inches apart.
Only II few more yards, and then
fame.
But for all the runners speed the
pounding feet behind him drew stead
lily closer The man carrying the ball
heard them with dismay.
He leapcd, he bounded. he fairly
flew. he was there.
When both runners were but one
yard from the goal posts the pursler
hurled himself forward, clutched the
runner yiciously about the knees, and
both crashed heavily to the ground.
Too late, however. for they had fallen
over the goal line.
The runner picked himself up. aching
in every limb, turned proudly toward
the stands to receive the plaudits of
the spectators--;.nd looked into the
snarling face Of Il furious tcammate.
His own teammate had tackled him,
for the runner had run in the wrong
direction and had scored two points for
the other side!-New York World.
