BIG ARMS SUPPLY
 VILLA HID IS FOUND
Machine Guns, Rifles and
 Ammunition Seized.

One of the first results of the killing of the bandits Cervantes and Beau come and active pursuit of the band was the unearthing by newly organ tZed civil guard of Namiquipa, actin" under American direction. of a cache of rifles. machine guns and ammunition in an isolated canyon east of the town. says wireless reports to Columbus. N. NJ.
 It had been long suspected that Villa had d large quantity of military sup plies hidden in the hills in various sec tiOnS of the state of Chihuahua. and one object of the minute search which the American forces have been making since arriving in NamiQuipa has been to locate these goods.
 The NamiQuipa civil guard was or %aniHCd for the purpose of cooperating with the Americans in ridding the coun- try of bandits and has rendered valu- able assistance along the line by lOcat- ing small bands and giving infOrma- tion which resulted in keeping the ban dits on the move. The guard. too. knew of rumOrS of hidden ammunition and has been as much on the qui vive to find d cache as Americans. Now they have found particularly large one and the Americans, as well as the friendly MeXicans, are pleased.
 Search is being made. it is believed, for some followers of Cervantes who are willing to give information which will lead to further discoveries.
 The bodies of Cervantes and Beau come were buried in the already over crowded Panteonor cemetery, on the black mesa overlooking the town Owing to the life led by the men, the padre of the local parish would not per init the funeral to be held from the church nor would he officiate.

WASHINGTON DENIES
 LANSING WILL RESIGN
Malicious RumOr," Says
 State Department.

Vigorous denial of the report that Secretary of State Lansing is to retire and be succeeded by Frank l., Polk. counselor of the state department. Was made by one of the highest officials of the department. The story was de nOunced as part of a campaign of prop uganda.
 To explain what the senate depart ment official declared to be animuS in the unfounded report some diplomatic history was revealed. In the denial made by the department no reference is made to German propaganda. though the form of the denial indicates that German propagandiSts and some Amer. jeans who have seemed to be cooper ating with them are referred to.
 "ThiS story that the secretary was to resign it was said at the depart ment. first appeared in February or March. We recognized it as part of a propaganda campaign and the depart ment promptly cabled to Berlin to watch out for it.
 Iue story. WHICH WdS III the IOTn of a press message to Berlin. was pick ed up from the wireless ir one of the allied countries. After being informed of it we cabled to Berlin that the story was part of a deliberate propaganda to create the impression of dissenSion in this country which did not exist. The story never appeared in Berlin. Apparently it was deemed advisable not to publish it in view of the fact that the department was aware of the propaganda.
 We were aware that the story was intended for use when the situation between Germany and the United States was strained. Now advantage is taken of Secretary LanSing's sick ness to start the report again"

The Soft Answer,

"Yes> I'll take Jim's note for a hun dred any time" said banker when an offer to sell note to the bunk was made.
 'I want to warn you, though" said the man in whose favor the note had been drawn. that Jim Is q good prom iser, but poor payer. I don't want you to have anything against me be- cause of this note.''
 'Jim's honest, and I'll take his note for a reasonable amount any time" said the banker. ''I had some trouble with him once over an overdraft, and 1t turned out that the bank was at fault and that he had not actually overdrawn. I'll admit was pretty nasty in my talk to him about 1t, be- cause was so sure the bank was right. The average man under those conditions would have 'cussed' me out at least. but all Jim said, although he was madder than thunder, was, I don't see why your wife ever married you" "-Indianapolis News.

How the MiIIiner Got Even.

A local business man. who has n friend in q nearby town who is Il mil finer. told story of how the latter once got 'even" with one of the lead ing social lights of the place after she had tried to be unfair with him. The husband of the woman in question had had bit of hard financial sledding, and during the "reconstruction" period she had to go light on clothes. So one day she had the mflliner send up some of his best hats on approval, which he did. She sent them all back, but in Il few days appeared on the street with a duplicate of the most expensive one of all. which she had evidently made herself. In that town there Is n mid dle aged woman of uncertain mental qualities and unqucstionablc poverty who Is more or less of a town charac- ter. To her the milliner gave the orig inal of the duplicated hat, much to the discomfort of the social queen. who ap- parently saw the point. - New York Times.

Humors of Indexing.

Quite as bad as the cryptic alphabet tcal headings under which important subjects are sometimes hidden in an index are the dslusive cross references that lead to nothing.

WAITE FOUND GUILTY.
Jury Deficiencies Only One Hour and
 Twenty three Minutes.

Arthur Warren Waite is now await ing sentence to the electric chair. It re- Quired only one hour and twenty three minutes for the jury in the criminal branch of the supreme court in New York city. where he had been on trial for poisoning his father-in-law, John F.. Peck, to record it's decision. In aStual time of deliberating it had not taken so long. Nearly half of the eighty-thrcr minutes was taken up with the eating of long delayed luncheon of sand, Wiches and coffee.
 Waite endeavOred to receive the yer diet with the same indifference that enabled him to go on the witness stand aEd confess two murders and the plan ming of at least two more. In this he WAS not wholly successful.
 Ten minutes later, however. he had recovered himself. He whistled and hummed snatch of song as he crossed the Bridge of Signs to his cell

The Capitol Dome.

The capitol dome at Washington Is the only considerable dome of iron in the world. It is vast hollow sphere weighing S0Go.300 pounds. How much is that? More than 1000 tons, or al- most the weight of 10000 full grown persons. or about equal to 1000 laden coal cars of four tons each, which, if strung out one behind the other, would occupy mile and half of track. On the very top of the dome the ale gorical figure America" weighing 13,- 9S5 pounds. lifts its proud head high in the air. The pressure of this dome and figure upon the piers and pillars is 14,- AT pounds to the square foot It would. however, require pressure of 755,2 ,2SG pounds to the square foot to crush the supports.
