 WOODROW WILSON"
 Benjamin Franklin Shively. born on a farm in St. Joseph county. Indiana. on March 20. 1857, the son of the Rev. Joel Shively, a preacher-tarmer, had been prominent in tho political history of that state since 1884. when he was first elected to Congress. He was sent to Washington then for the unexpired term of Maj. William H. Calkins. who resigned to accept the republican nomi- nation for governor. He was reelected in 1885, 1888 and 1895. and declined to be candidate in 1892.
 When he left the House, after these four terms, MT Shively returned to the practice of law at South Bend. and be- came one of the leading lawyers of Indiana.
 WINS OVER KERN
 The democrats paid MT. Shively tho honor of gaving him their party's com- plimentary vote for United States sena- tor in 1903 and again in 1905 and elected him to the office on January IA 1909. He won over John Worth Kern, who later also became a United States senator, on the twenty-seventh bal lot in the democratic caucus. He was reelected in 1914, by the direct vote ot the people, the first senator to receive his election in this way in Indiana

Americans Leaving

Laredo, Tex, March 14.-The exodus of Americans from Mexico continued through this port of entry today.

 It is the local opinion that venusti- ano Carranza would be glad to strike the bargain. With $500. coo, 900 he would be able to settle his debts and fortify himself in his effort permanently to restore peace.
 Only to the extent of promising that he would consider the matter very care fully, President Wilson has not com mitted himself.

CONGRESS TO RESPOND

The President has urged the leaders not only to maintain peace at home. but to make haste in enacting so-called pre- paredness or administration measures And Congress, aware of the probable fact that America is either in the midst of war, or soon will be, is preparing to re- spond. It is believed that the army bill, to be considered within another 10 days, will be put rapidly through the House and that the Senate will not consume too much time in it's consideration. The up- per house at present has before it the Tillinan arnor plate plant bill. and there seems to be a determination on the part of both houses to provide for a govern ment plant for the manufacture of gun. powder.
 But while under the spur of patriotism Congress will probable enact at double time the preparedness bills, 1t is said to be hesitating before taking favorable ac- tion on the other pet measures of the administration-the ship purchase bill an6 the bill creating a tariff commission.

|tion, or 1t may be a demand that the Congress into his confidence to the end that by neither a plunge in the dark may be made.
 WILSON MAY APPEAR
 Tn the beginning of the week, it ap- peared that Congress would, in some measure at any rate, attempt to take the President to task. There was an insistence though subdued demand that he appear and tell the story of the Mexican situation, for Congress, as stated. believes that AmericaH troops once in Mexico. will not return until the country Is "cleaned up."
 In the present. however, Congress is quieter. There have been innumerabls conferences between House and Senate leaders with the administration, and it is currently reported that the President has urged that no disrupting influence bs permitted to disturb until the prelimi
 naries incident to the punitive invasion are completed. Leaders have gone amonf the other members with paliating effect and no violent outbreak is anticipated In this connection, it is whispered in tht capitol corridors and cloakrooms tha President Wilson, within the next ter days, will appear before Congress an( talk over the situation very calmly an6 very candidly. That step, it is believed would result in Congress, in fever oi patriotism, pledging the chief executive it's best efforts in cooperation.

Dr. Dixon says:
This is the season of the year when

Many people instead of starting their
furnaces use gas stoves to take off the
chill. Not infrequently because they
are only expedients. they use rubber

of cases the stoves are not connected
with a fiue.
Such an arrangement is dangerous in

MOST SH0PLIFTERS ARE MEN
Suits of Clothes and Even Rugs Often
Stolen, According to Private
Police Officer.

There's one theory l want to ex-
plode," said the chief of department
store force in New York, and that
regards the idea popularity accepted
that the modern shoplifter is wom-
an. Do you know that there are five
men shoplifters and sneak thieves to
every woman shoplifter? In the un-
derworld these men are known as
'moll-buzzers, because they buzz
around the 'mollies.' or store girls.
THE woman shoplifter isn't taking
the chances she did formerly. Her
method OF stealing is pretty well
known by this time. You see, it's inn
possible to watch every counter in
the store. My method is to specialize
on the counters which hold jewelry,
leather goods, stockings. silks, gloves
and even rugs. Can you imagine some
one stealing big rug? Well, lots are
stolen.
II have found out that most shop
lifters coming under my thumb were
victims of drugs. This is particularly
true of the men. Exalted by the In
fluence of the drug, they come in here
and actually pick up things in full
view of the salesgirl and walks on
with them. Why, the other day a man
tried to get away with suit of
clothes. Yes, sir, walked up TO the
suit counter, selected what he liked,
picked it up and away he went. You
should hear the wonderful and illuR-
mating excuses once the thief is
caught Sometimes we laugh for hours
to hear the manufactured tales. -

DEFECTIVE LAND
TITLES MADE Valid

Yesterday J. Sheehan filed with
County Recorder Germain a certified
copy of the act of Congress legalizing
the old conveyances made by the Cen
trail Pacific and also certified copy OF
the railroads acceptance of the pro-
visions of the act. These documents
were sent to Mr.. Sheehan by e. Z.
Caine of Elko.
Title to the front 20 or 80 feet of lots
on Railroad street have been under >
cloud for many years, as they were
within the right-of way granted by the
government to the old Central Pa
eifc. Owners of the property hud pur-
chased the lots in good faith from the
Pacific Improvement company, sub
sidiary of the Central Pacific, but
through some legal technicality there
was a cloud on the title to those por-
tions of the lots mentioned.
During his short stay in the Senate,
the late Senator w. A. Massey in
troduced a bill vesting title to the lots
affected in the owners, which was final
" passed and the certified copy of the
act was fled yesterday by Mr.. Sheehan.
The law also cleared titles to property
similarly situated in Elko, Lovelock,
and other towns in Nevada situated on
the line of the Southern Pacific.
