Feeling is Allayed.

feeIin9 Is AItdyeo.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Feeling
over the Santa Ysabel massacre was
considerably allayed here today by
the tone Of CarranZa's assurances to
Consul Silliman. placing the murder
ers outside the pale of the law"
This practically gives any person
authority to shoot down the guilty
persons on sight.
Carranza's appeal to the American
people for consideration of the diff
culties in controlling operations OF
bandits. also touched a responsive
chord among officials. They expected
his answer to have much effect In
SOLDERING indignation, especially In
the senate and to cause more sym
pathy with the Administrations pol
icy of giving Carranza a chance to
demonstrate his power to punish the
murderers and to prevent future out
breaks.
Further discussion OF the Mexican
situation was scheduled today in con-
gress. but it was believed the debate
would hinge upon the political aspects
Of the administrations whole Mext-
can policy, rather than objection to
the handling Of the Santa Ysabel
atrocity.
Neither the senate nor the house
relations committee will take up the
various resolutions on the situation
until late this week. Wednesday the
senate hopes to consider the nomina-
ton of Henry P. Fletcher to be Amer
lean ambassador to Mexico. The
state department also plans to have
ready by that time the mass of in
formation called for in Senator Falls
resolution regarding reasons for this
government recognition Of Carranza.
An exodus of British subjects. as
we'll as Americans, from Mexico. was
In progress today, according to re
ports here, the embassy having warn.
ed all Englishmen to leave Chihuahua
at once. Separate representations to
the Cararnza government by the Brit
! ish government regarding the murder
of Britons at Santa Ysabel and for
future projections of lives and prop
erty are also expected.

Of our population refuses nowadays to

There are not, in fact, enough men

Bradley Files Contest.
(Dunklin Democrat.)

Hon. Jonn H. Bradley, on last Satur-
day filed papers in an election con-
test with the Missouri supreme court,
at Jefferson City, setting out his right
to the Office of Judge of the Spring
field court of appeals.
Through an error of the county
clerk of Maries county, who placed the
name of Judge Arch Johns Oh, one OF
Mr.. Bradley's opponents before the
August primary, on the ticket as the
regular Democratic nominee, instead
of Mr.. Bradley, the latter was de-
prived of the vote of that county, and
on the face of the returns Mr.. Brad
ley's opponent, Judge Argus Cox, the
Republican nominee, received a plu-
ralIty of the votes cast.
The secretary of state issued the
certificate of election to Judge Cox,
on the face of the returns; and Mr..
Bradley is asking the supreme court
to decide if a regular nominee OF a
political party shall be deprived of an
opportunity to receive the votes of
The members OF that party on account
OF an error of an official to place his
name upon the ticket as the law
directs.
The Democratic voters of Maries
county thought they we're voting for
their party nominee, and Mr.. Bradley
was that nominee; consequently is en-
titled to their votes, and If he is Civ
en- them, he has a majority of 26S
votes over Judge Cox.
Ii Judge Cox is allowed to take the
bench, he will certainly be en-
barrassed in his efforts to deal oul
justice, having been placed in the
position by palpable miscarriage o
the will Of the voters of the d istrict.

A very sad affair happened in Bis

Herbert M. Crocker, whose home was
near Belleview.
Mr.. Crocker and two companions
drove over from Flat River Sunday

O'Clock. Mr.. Crocker came to call
on his fnancee, Miss Mabel Raba-
deux, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Den
mis- Rabadeux.
Mr.. Crocker was employed at Flat
River. He complained of not feeling
we'll on Saturday, although he finished
his days work. On the way coming
over here Sunday he had a chill
Shortly after reaching the Rabadenx
home he was seized with another chill
aud was put to bed. About six O'Clock
DR.. J. l.. Eaton was summoned. The
patient grew worse and complained
of having severe pains in his head
DR.. Eaton was again called and gave
hypodermic injection to relieve his
sufferings, after which he apparently
was resting easy. About eleven
O'Clock those at the Rabadeux home
heard him breath heavily and wen
to his bedside. He-died few minutes
later. Apoplexy was given as tht
cause of his death.
The deceased was 1Syears, s months
and % days of age. He leaves sur
viving his parents, three brothers ant
two sisters to mourn his early demise
The remains were taken to the hom,
Monday afternoon, and the funera
was held from there Tuesday morn

We sympathize with the bereavec
