YAQUl INDIANS IN MEXlCO;
MEXICAN TROOPS AVOID THEM

Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico, July q
Correspondence OF the Associated
Press Reports from outlying dis
tricts indicate renewed activity on
the part of the Yaqui Indians. This
has been anticipated by those famil-
lar with conditions in Sonora because
the campaign inaugurated by the de
facto government in January for the
purpose of ridding the country of the
Yaquis has not as yet Deen a success.
Approximately 1000 troops were
mobilized under General Dieguez to
drive the Indians from their strong
holds in the Bacatetebe mountains
but the soldiers were poorly equipped
for the undertaking. They lacked dis
cipline, organization and spirit and
although the Mexican government
may have desired an aggressive cam
paign the local leaders and men had
no intention of taking the offensive
against the savages whose fighting
ability is well known throughout the
republic. Like the apache tribes of
Arizona, the Yaquis have committed
the most fiendish atrocities. For this
reason the troops fear to operate
against the warriors.
The strength of the Indians is not
accurately known, but it is estimated
as being about ten thousand, of which
approximately four thousand are well
armed fighting men. This force gen
orally operates in bands of fifty to
one hundred or during the harvest
season and at other times if their
food supply happens to run low as is
the case at the present time. Spies
are maintained throughout the farm
ing districts who keep the tribe well
informed and assist in the raids.
The Indians dress as do the poems
with shirt and trousers of faded blue
denim or khaki, usuaiiy the latter as
it is more easily procurable, for many

airy armies. A large straw hat, not
unlike that worn by northern farm
ers, with brim turned down, protects
them from the sun ana conceals their
identity when necessary; and their
feet are protected from the rough
country by leather sandals guarachos
as they are called.
This similarity of garb makes it
difficult even for MeXicans to disting-
uish parties of Indians from troops
Of the de facto government and as a
result bands have been able to enter
towns before their identity was dis
covered For example, the town Of
Sauz, Sonora, was raided last year.
The inhabitants saw the mounted
body approaching with trumpets flour
ishing and drums ruffling, but it was
thought that an expected detachment
of troops was arriving. Not until the

four presidential elections held in
Cuba, two, conducted under American
supervision, were marRed by perfect
tranquility. OF the other two under

DEMANDS MORPHINE
At POINT OF PISTOL
Stranger Pulls Gun on Drug
Clerk, but Loses Nerve
and FIeeS

Wearing a long overcoat and with his
face partly concealed. a tall, nervous
man walked into Jacobs Marietta street
store at o'clock Sunday afternoon,
crossed to the prescription counter and
demanded a quantity of morphine.
w. Il. Thomas, the prescription clerk,
politely told the stranger that he could
not fill the prescription-that it was
against the rules of the store. where
upon the man drew a large revolver and
leveled il at the clerk.
Yes you will fiji it," he said gruffly.
1--WE just got to have some. If L don't
get it / will blow my brains out"
The clerk hesitated and then said, "All
right, I'll get some for you" He i'm
mediately ducked behind the counter,
leaving the stranger with the revolver
in his hand.
The man in the overcoat evidently be-
came suspicious and fearing that he
would be caught, walked rapidly from
the store without waiting for the clerk
to return.
The identity of the dope fiend is I'M
known and so far detectives working
on the case have discovered no clue.

GEORGIA MAN ON BOARD
MISSING j. S. SUBMARINE
Clarence Wilson, of MoreIand,
Electrician on K-5--No
Trace Found of Craft

CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. 31.-Naval
vessels continued to search the Caro-
lima coast today for the United States
submarine ks, reported missing since
1 o'clock Sunday morning, but, accord
ing to information available here, their
efforts had been futile. The submersi-
BILE had not responded to wireless calls
sent out from shore stations and naval
vessels, and this led marine men to eX-
press fears that the boat had suffered at
least an accident to her wireless APP
paratus.
Clarence Wilson, an electrician, More
land, Ga, is listed at the navy depart
ment as a member of the crew of the
KS.
A heavy fog hung over the coast be.
tween here and Cape Roman. forty
miles north of here, where the KS last
was sighted, and this made more diff
cult the task of the searchers.
Tht ks, with three other submarines
of the same type-the XII, K-2 and
K-6-convoyed by the submarine tender
Tallahassee, left New York January 81,
en- route to Key West, Fla, for maneu-
vers in southern waters. The Tallahas =
see and the other three submarines ar
rived off Charleston bar last night, but
were prevented from entering the har-
Dor by the fog. -s..-
Arrival of the fotilla and it's convoy
was followed by the Tallahassee's wire
less report to Washington navy officials
that the KS was missing. Shortly aft
er that naval boats in these waters, in
GLIDING the destroyer Worden, the coast
guard cutters Yamacraw and Seminole
and the buoy tender Mangrove, were or.
dered to begin search.
Efforts to ascertain from officials Of
the Charleston navy yard if they knew
whether or not the ks had suffered an
accident proved futile, all inquirers be-
ing referred to Washington.
The ks was said to have, aboard a
crew of from six to eight men.
Navy yard officials have no further
news of the submarine KS, following
announcement of arrival of the ITALIA
hassee, with XII. K-2 and K-6. The
coast guard cutters Yamacraw and Sem
mole and the destroyer Worden are con-
tinuing a search for the missing X IS,
as is the lighthouse tender Mangrove.
The KS was lost sight of about thirty
miles above Charleston A wide radio
alarm has been spread, and all passing
ships are on the lookout. Hopes are
high that the KS will make her way
to Charleston safely. The Tallahassee
and three divers now here will await
further advices before proceeding to
Key West. Just now the Tallahassee
is off Fort Sumter, five miles from this
city.

ALLEGED OLIVER SLAYERS
ON TRIAL At LEESBURG
6. w, and Claude Chance
Minter Kennedy and Ike
Carter to Face Jury

LEESBURG, Ga, Jan. 31.-The spe-
cial term of the Lee county superior
court was called to order this morning
at 8 o'clock with Judge u. A. Little
John, presiding. The first work of the
court was the calling of the grand jury
that served at the November term of
court in 1915 and secured the indict-
ments against G. w. Chance, Claude
Chance, Minter Kennedy and the negro,
Ike Carter, charged with the murder of
A. d. oliver, were to be called at a spe-
cial term of Lee county superior court
here today. Oliver, who became known
throughout the south through having
served part of a term in Mississippi
prison through a case OF mistaken
identity, and also known because of pub
licity given his banking schemes, was
shot to death on the streets here the
night of February II, 1915.
The judge, in his Charge to the grand
fury, especially commented on the re-
cent lynching that occurred in Lee coun-
tv and emphasized the fact that If any
of the mob members were ever brought
to Justice that the grand jury would
have to do it. The judge said:
at is not what the judge can do, but
what you will do. l. is a disgrace to
your county and state"
The case of the state VS.. G. w. Chance,
Claude Chance, Minter Kennedy and Ike
Carter was then called. The defense is
represented by Colonies Yeoman and
Wilkerson, of Dawson, and Colonel r. K.
Forester, of this place; the state by
Solicitor J. r. Williams, Colonel F. A.
Hooper, of Atlanta; j. B. Poyle, solicitor
of the city court, and w. ii. Beckham,
of Albany. The taking of the jury was
then begun The defendants all appear
to be in the best of spirits and confident
of acquittal.
Requisition papers that were granted
for J. B. Williams, a convict in Ala
bauna, by the governor of Alabama, were
served. but he declined to come with
the officer. He was wanted in the case
by the state. He was located at Smith
Vile at the time of the murder, and
was a witness at the commital trial here
some time ago, when the defendants
were turned loose.
The first case called was that of the
state VS.. Claud Chance, son of q. w.
Chance The defense announced reacy.
1t is generally supposed that the state
has the strongest evidence against him.
Should he secure an acquittal, 1T is prob
able that the other three cases will be
mol pressed.
The taking of the jury was then be-
gun. J. F. Usry and Herbert Sanford
were accepted by both sides.

LONDON, Jan. 31.-The Balkan oor-
respondent of the Daily Mail in describ.
ing conditions in Vienna says that there
"as everywhere else in the Tuetonic
war zone the food question is the chief
topic of conversation"
The humorous side Of the situation,
the correspondent says is that while the

from Austria and Germany the people
in Austria and Germany expect to get
food from Turkey.
At one of the largest hospitals in
Vienna the correspondent visited two
halls filled with wounded who were
blinded by rock splinters caused by
high explosives on the Italian Isonzo
front.
There were 10000 Austrians blinded
within six months owing to these rock

The Austrians are confident that in

MANDAMUS To FORCE
PARALLEL Of W. & A.
IS DENIED BY COURT
Judge PendIeton Renders De-
CiSion Monday in Favor of
the State After Hearing That
Lasted Several Days

After a hearing lasting for several
days Judge John T. Pendleton, of the
Fulton superior court, Monday after
noon declined to issue a writ of man
damus to compel Secretary of State
Philip Cook to issue a charter for the
North Georgia Mineral railroad COM
pany, which proposes to build a line
from Atlanta to a poinI near Carriers
Vile, and which proposed line. it was
contended by the state, is simply a
scheme of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad to parallel the Western and At
lantic railroad.
IL refusing the writ of mandamus
Judge Pendleton declared that in his
opinion the law passed by the legislat-
ure last summer which forbids the Sec
rotary of state to issue charter to any
railroad that would parallel the West
ern and Atlantic or impair the value Of
that property, is legal and constitu-
tional.
Immediately after the courts decision
was rendered Attorneys King & Spald-
ing, and Dorsey, Brewster. Howell &
Heyman. counsel for the North Georgia
Mineral railroad. announced their pur-
pose to appeal to the state supreme
court. The states attorneys-Attorney
General Clifford Walker, Judge Horace
Holden, Judge John c. Hart and Mark
Bolding-were very much gratified over
the decision and expressed confidence
that the states contentious would be
upheld by the higher court
Judge Pendleton made his decision
Immediately at the close of the hearing.
He declared that it was the duty of the
state to protect its property and to see
hat its railroad is not paralleled If such
would prove injurious to the road. He
also expressed the opinion that the anti
parallelling act was in effect a general
law.
