FIELD HEADQUARTERS, Col ONIA DUBLAN, Chihuahua June 23. -(Via Wireless to Columbus, N. M) That Captain Lewis S. Mercy is either dead or prisoner was the assumption reached here tonight when no reports had been received from any of the three officers who accompanied the troops of the Tenth cavalry engaged al CarriZal on We'd nesday. Mexican reports said that Captain Charles T. Boyd and Lieu tenant Henry Adair were among the dead. Although sixty hours have elapsed sine the fight, the only word of it has been brought to Gen eral Pershing by nine enlisted men who struggled into camp yesterday
 These men all insisted that General Felix Gomez, the Mexican com mander, and Captain Boyd parleyed apparently reaching an amicable con- clusion, and that immediately after ward the Americans were led into a trap from which the MeXicans opened fire upon them with concealed ma chine guns.

Are TO Be Augmented if State
Superintendent ShaWkey's
Ideas Are Needed.
tnY AsseerArn, Esrss,

CHARLESTON, Dec. 27.-Important
recommendations as to school IegiS-
lation to be considered at the coming
session of the West Virginia legisla-
ture have been outlined by State SUI
perintendent OF Free Schools NJ. p,
Shawkey.
The proposed legislation is as fol-
lows:
Increasing of the permanent school
fund, which is now one million dollars,
making a larger amount available for
distribution to the various districts.
Fixing the minimum amount of the
general school fund at 100000 in
stead of $4,000 as it is and has been
for the last ten or twelve years. This
is in the interest of the poorer dis
tricts that are unable to provide prop
er school facilities with the resources
now provided.
A better and more effective compul-
sorry attendance law.
A minimum school term of seven
months effective in 1913 or very soon
thereafter.
Raising OF the minimum salaries for
teachers in view Of the increased cost
of living.
Provision for promoting night school
work.
Free text books provided by the
state for all pupils.
Appointment of a single trustee for
each one-roomed school to serve under
the direction of the board Of education.
Pensions for teachers who have
passed the age of active service
Authority for boards of education to
provide teacherageS. A "teacherage"
is home for the teacher situated near
the school, and its purpose is to aid In
obtaining teachers who will live in.
The community and take permanent
interest in its welfare.
Making the county the unit of tax
alton for school purposes.
Making the Offices of the county and
state superintendent appointive
Increasing the number of teachers
training high schools for the purpose
of preparing more teachers for rural.
schools.
Some provision to encourage the
rural graded schools to offer domes-
tic science and manual training and
other vocational subjects.

Hener "a the Cnbinet.

The mere rumor that Francis j..
Heney was being considered as n pos
sfble success to Attorney General
Gregory has set the California oil
men on tiptoe. They regard Heney as
one of the group that would tic up
the oil lands of California and, with
him in the cabinet. they feel that the
development Of oil territory by pri-
vate enterprise would be brought to
an end.
Among them are some Democrats
of influence, who have thought that
they contributed not little to secur-
ing the vote of the state for Wilson
and who have looked for their reward
in more ''liberal1 policy regarding
the oil lands. Now they are CON
fronted by the reflection that some
folks think it was Heney who carried
California Democratic; and they re-
sent not only this conclusion but is
corrollary that Heney is to be re-

Mr.. Bryan is for the Acknowledgement
of women by federal action. The
president wants the entire subject
left to the action OF the individual
states. Mr.. Bryan opposes the plan
for closer federal regulation Of the
transportation interests. The presl-
dent is moving upon Congress for an
extension OF the powers Of the In
terstate Commerce Commission Mr..
Bryan demands Il change in the cleo
toral syestem and wants tine constitu-
tion made more easy OF amendment.
The president has expressed no opln-
ion on these subjects. though he is
regarded as InTavorablc to them.
1t is by no means unlikely that
Bryan and Wilson may find them
selves in inevitable collision of opin-
ion before two years are out. The
subjects which Bryan would impose
as cardinal doctrines upon the Dem
Iocratic party are subjects with which
the president has scant sympathy or
to which he is frankly opposed. His
well-known facility for changing his
mind may avail him in the case of a
clash with his former secretary of
state; but the present Indications are
for a sharply defined line OF division.

Consider the automobile. When the
car is going. to stand still for more
than few minutes the driver stops
the engine BY doing this he saves
gasoline. oil, and above all, useless

the meantime the automobile hasn't
budged an inch.
The birds build nests for the pro-
lection or their young against the
weather; the foxes dig holes for Sc
curity against foes; the squirrels lay
by stores of nuts against the coming
of winter; the dogs bury bones
against the day when bones will be
scarce. These are the manifesta-
tons of a normal protective instinct
arising from an experience of many,
many generations. So FAR as is known
though, no bird ever tried to build
more nests than his neighbor; no fox
ever fretted because he only had one

either in honor or material things, it
Is necessary that he take some fore

soon as he carries this beyond the
normal point the mental process be-
comes an exaggerated and abnormal

is stimulated by normal fear or
those events which are reasonably
sure 10 happen in the future unless
means are adopted against them. The
moment that this fear becomes alb

worry. This worry continues long ar

In his recent address in Chicago.
Frank a. Vanderlip, president of the
National City Bank of New York, de-
pIored the growing tendency of Amer
lean business men to seek govern
ment assistance. Viewed from one
angle, he said, there has been a
distinct loss of independence. or self
reliance, and a growing tendency to
lean upon governmental action, to be
influenced by governmental attitude,
to regard legislation as panacea
and to believe that bill in Con-
gress can do what we. used to think

judgment. sacrifice and thrift to ac-

There is force in Mr.. yanderlir's
words says the Chicago News,
though the fact should be recognized
that the business man of the present
day is in some respects more depend

the self-reliant American Of an
earlier generation.
The times call for greater degree
of cooperative effort than was nee
essary In former days, and co-opera-

to make 1t reasonably effective. After
