 Your own will not bear inspec- tion," charged Clark. turning to Man ming with scowl.
 "I'll range up at the judgment seat with you,' famed Manning. We're both old enough to think about that!"
 Joseph c. Clark jumped to his feet and, leaning across the table. shook a thin forefinger at Manning.
 "l have been attacked enough on the point of my moral standing!" he de- clared. his high-pitched nasal voice quavering with an anger he had held below the explosive point during the most of his life. T can stand the at tacks of sensational press, but when spiteful criticism follows me into my own vestry, almost in the sacred shadow of the altar itself. am com pelled to protest.

 Perhaps w. T. Chisholm was not shocked by this blasphemy, but the dismay of it sat on every other face, even on that of Nicholas Van Ploon, who was compelled to dig deep to find his ethids. f'

extraordinarily fierce in the center of

at Rancourt. At Priez farm two Prus-

was suffered at Rancourt by three Ger

waves, made the last desperate effort of
the day.

IS AFTER VILLA
Carranza Leader at Chi
huahua Still Claims No
Fear of Further Attack

Chihuahua City, September I.-Strong
outposts with numerous cavalry patrols,
have been established here as protec-
ton against further raiding by Villistas.
General Trevino said tonight he was not
only amply prepared in case of another
attack on the city, but his pursuit OF
Villa is well under way.
Three former Villista officers have been
executed in Parral for revolutionary pro-
paganda, according to a message received
here from Gen. Luis Cabrera.
Ell Paso, Tex, September 21.--General
Trevino, by way of offsetting versions
of the Chihuahua City battle favorable
to Villa, sent long telegram tonight to
Andreas Garcia, the local Mexican con-
sui. in which he reaffirmed his claim to
routing the Nillistas, placing their losses
at more than $50 and his own at g. The
Villa forces he said, left a large quantity
of rifles and munitions and a number of
horses behind in their flight.
General Trevino points to the fact that
the Hidalgo Day parade was held the
afternoon of the battle as proof that or
der had by that time been completely re-
stored in the city and quotes a congrat-
ulatory telegram from Carranza on the
constitutionalist victory.

border and ether problems affecting the
relations between Mexico and the United

members of the Mexican-American joint
commission today, Notwithstanding the
virtual certainty that no definite plan
will be reached this week.
General conditions in Mexico were dis
cussed again and in a rather general way
the subject of withdrawing the American
troops was talked over, the Mexicans ex-
pressing their opinion that General Car

the situation in the region now patrolled
by General Pershng's forces.
That the renewed activity of Villa in
Chihuahua probably would delay an
agreement on some plan of border con-
leans as a matter of course. The Mexi-
cans hope to have before the conference
tomorrow official reports from their gov
eminent which will serve as basis for
the argument that the attack on Chi
huah is not true indication of the
governments inability to maintain peace
along the frontier. Today the Mexicans
presented brief message from Andreas
Garcia, consul at Ell Paso, asserting that
'all is tranquil in Chihuahua.
Tomorrow night Luis Cabrera, head OF
the Mexican commission. expects to go
to New York, causing a postponement or

London, September 21-The

TROY WOMAN WILL
HEAD EDUCATION
WORK IN PIKE
Mrs. J. M. Sanders Succeeds
Husband as Superintend-
ent on Petition of Citi-
zens Sent to Feagin

Montgomery, September 21.-(SpecialD
Mrs. j. NJ, Sanders of Troy is the first
woman in Alabama to hold the office of
county superintendent of education. She
was appointed superintendent of Pike
county this morning by State Superin-
tendent of Education William f. Fea-
gin to succeed her husband, who died la st
week.
Mrs. Sanders actually discharged the
duties of superintendent for many years
owing to the illness of her husband, who
was afflicted. Her devotion to the cause
of education and her splendid service in
the past was rewarded early today when
Mr. Feagin wired her that she had been
selected to complete the term of her hus-
band which expires September so, 1917
The appointment met with the unequiv-
ocal approval of the Pike county peo-
pie who have learned to love her and
admire her untiring work. To them she
was Familiarity known as "Mollie." and,
with one accord, they requested her ap-
pointment when Mr.. Feagin visited Pike
county yesterday to ascertain the SEN
timent Both the old and the new boards
os education favored her appointment. An
aged democrat. with tears in his eyes.
pleaded with Mr.. Feagin to appoint
"Mollie."
Before making the appointment Mr..
Feagin consulted with the attorney gen
erals department to ascertain if it would
be legal. The new law authorizing wom-
en- as county superintendent will not
take effect until November, but it was
thought perfectly proper to name Mrs.
Sanders. even though there might be q
slight doubt as to her eligibility for the
period extending until November.
