4 TO QUIT MEXICO
cARRANZlsTAs PREPARED TO-
TAKE UP POSITIONS.
TO PROTECT U. S. PROPERTY
Ambassador Fletcher to Take Post
at Mexico City-To Discuss aor-
der Patrol With the
- First Chief"

Washington, Jan. 1G.-The first
move toward Preparing for the with
drawa Of the PcrShing column has
been made. In accordance with the
tacit plea already agreed upon by the
war department and General Carrnn-
"a. de facto troops started moving in
large numbers TO occupy the territory
where General Pershng's men now
are.
Official reports reached the state de-
partment that ten thousand Carranza
soldiers under General Dieguez have
reached TOrreon already, en- route to
the territory they will be required to
protect. The administration will in
sist that sufficient troops be ready to
close in behind the American column
us it is withdrawn gradually, on ac-
count of the American and other for
eiGn interests in the vicinity. They
fear the rebel activity of northwestern
Mexico will sweep TO the northwest
unless adequate measures are taken to
prevent it.
First Official lntimation.
Permitting the report Of the move
ment of the Carranzista soldiery TO
become public is the first official adj
mission that it is the immediate Snten-
ton BE administration to bring the
Persfh..,. column back to the border.
Announcement Of recommendation that
the troops be withdrawn is expected
later, after the final session in New
York of the American-Mexican joint
commission.
! 1t is probable that Ambassador Hen
ry 7. Fletcher will be sent to his post
in Mexico City before the troops are
out of Mexico, to take up directly with
General Carranza the settlement of
the border patrol question, and the
protection of American lives and prop
erty in territory under CarranZista
control. The possibility of recognition
of Villa as revolutionary leader is
still strong, it was admitted.

LITTLE STORIES OF IOWA

Iowa is the only state in the union
which permits single individual to
incororate himself. This provision was
first inserted in the Code of 1851, prob
ably to encourage the establishment
OF industries in the new state.
The corporation problem was bitter
ly debated before Iowa's fundamental
law on tn esubject was fieXed. There
were no scarcity of voices against cor
porations. John T. Clark, in the con
vention of 1857, said: Il am> in favor
of having something incorporated in
our constitution which would have a
tendency to check this growing evil"
That corporations might not forever
be independent of the popular will It
was provided that mo privileges OF
immunities shall ever be granted, that
may not be altered revoked or re
realed by the General Assembly"

very suddenly Friday afternoon about
2:30 o'clock. Mr.. Alexander left his
home about 1880 o'clock for the Alb

heart trouble. The folks at home were
not concerned over his absence, as he

was away from home for several hours
waiting his turn at the hospital. He
reached the hospital, and entered the
waiting room. Others in the room
when he took a chair and seated him
self, they did not notice him further.
A slight movement of the body, and
gasp for breath turned their atten-
tioI toward him again. and before
help could reach him he was dead

but he was beyond all human aid. Mr.
Alexander has been resident of Os
kalooSa for years, and started the two
feed mills; one located on Third aven-
ne east and the other on North c
street. Mr.. Alexander has not been
actively connected with the mills for
the past few years on account OF poor
health. He leaves his wife, two
daughters, one at home and one liv-
ing in Kansas; and two sons, one liy-
ing in Denver and one in Sioux Falls.
The remains will be taken to Fremont
for burial, their home having been in
Fremont for years before he came t.

out of life. "Penance," he said, "con-
sists in bringing the lower senses
under the domination of the, upper
faculties and WILL"
