THAW'S RECOVERY is SLOW
Physicians Express Concern About His
Mental Condition and Slow Re-
cuperatlon.

Observation-Disclosures at the hos
pital where Harry X. Thaw, who at
tempted to commit suicide here last
week by slashing himself with a "a
zor is patient, report that Thaw is
not recovering as rapidly as had been
expected and express concern both as
to his mental and physical condition.
Lawyers representing the Thaw
family, who were to have held bed
side conference with Thaw Wednes-
day to discuss plans for his defense
against kidnapping and assault charges
made in New York by Frederick
Gump, Jr,, Kansas City youth, an
nounced that the conference had been
postponed for at least week.
DR., Elwood r. Kirby, Thaw's private
physician, reports that his patient is
showing only slight improvement and
was still in stupor.
"He doesn't seem to realize where
he is or what has happened" said DR..
Kirby. "His depression Is due partly
to loss Of blood and his general phys.
ical condition. 1t will be several weeks
before he comes around. His mind is
not showing improvement as we ex-
pected."

JOINT COMMISSION CLOSES
Commissioners Trying 10 Effect Agree
ment With Mexico Gives Up
In Disgust.

New York. -The Mexican-American
Joint commission which failed to eff.
feet an adjustment of the questions at
issue between Mexico and the United
States after a series Of conferences
that began four months ago, was form
ally dissolved. !,
The Americans impressed upon the
Mexicans that with the dissolution OF
the commission the Mexican problem
reverted to President Wilson. They
were careful not to leave In the minds
OF the Mexicans the conviction that
President Wilson would accept the
recommendation that an accredited
diplomat be sent to Mexico and that
General Pershing's forces. be with
drawn.
In spite of the Americans care, how
ever, the Mexicans assert that full dip
lomatic relations between the two gov
ernments would be re-esrablished soon
and that American troops will be re-
moved from Mexican territory within
q few days.

French vessels in the Atlantic, and
has captured and employed six others.

On board the Hudson Maru it was
repontc1 that one British steamship,
the Yarrowdale, had foundered and

had lost their lives.
The raider, which is the German
cruiser Vineto disguised as mer-
chairman, carrying 70 guns and four
torpedo tubes, PLACED the crews Of the

Yarrowdale held 400 men, in addi-

arrived at Pernambuco AS nothing
has been heard of her, it is feared
that she is lost with all on board.

Rare Christmas GIT.

A mother was out doing Christmas
shopping, and with her was her four
year old boy, Leaving their automo-
bile, they passed along the busy street
and gazed into the well-flled shop
windows. At the display of fancy ar
ticles in the dry-goods stores the child
beamed interestedly. At the array Of
toys in other windows his eyes fairly
danced.
Presently they came to a window in
which eggs and like commodities were
on view. AS the child's parents were
enthusiastic and consistent over the
prevalent egg-boycott, hen fruit had
been scarce in the household. The lit
tie lad jumped for joy at the sight
Of the hen products.
"Oh, mother" he exclaimed excited
ly. There's what really want for my
Christmas-some eggsl"

GUARDSMEN TO RETURN SOON
Gen. Funston Selecting Units To BE
Returned to Home Stations in
the Near Future.

Notwithstanding withdraw
al of substantial number" Of ma
tional guardsmen from the border has
been ordered by the war department
and Gen. Funston now is selecting the
units to be sent home. In announcing
the order Secretary Baker said the
number to be withdrawn at this time
probably would be $4,000 or 100000
The secretary refused to comment
on the order to say what relation it
might have to the withdrawal Of Gen.
Pershing's expedition from Mexico.
He said that the organizations to be
withdrawn would be announced as
soon as Gen. Funston reported those
he had designated. This withdrawal
would reduce the force of state troops
on the border to between $4,000 and
10000 men.
1t is the policy Of the department
not to permit disintegration of the ma
tional guard organizations and the in.
tention is to hold ever man in serv-
ice, though not under arms, regardless
of the fact that his duty on the border
has ended.
All applications for discharge except
for cause will be refused, and resigna-
lions of officers will be carefully ex-
amined and accepted only when the
department is satisfied with the rea-
sons given. It was pointed out that
acceptance of many of these resigna-
tons already offered was more or less
in the nature of wedding out process.

Wa5aingtol.--in an effort to clear

status comes into power, President
Wilson conferred at the capital with
the senate steering committee.

gram outlined in his opening address
to congress last December laying par
ticular stress on railroad labor meas
ures. He said he still desired enact
ment Of the whole program before

In addition to revenue legislation,
the president also urged action on a

VILLA GETTING BUSY AGAIN
Arrives at Gates Of Chihuahua After
Decisive Defeat Of Chief Car
ranxa's Forces.

81 Paso, Tex.-Francisco Villa and
his main command again are at the
gates Of Chihuahua City, reports pas
sengers arriving from the state cap
ital After defeating Gen. Hernandez
and his Carranza command Of 1900 in
the vicinity OF Satevo, Villa drove the
de facto column to La Jolla, eighteen
miles north of Satevo, where another
defeat was administered and the col
umn was forced to retreat to Santa
Ysabel and then to Palomas, only eigh-
teen miles west of the city.
Gen. Francisco Murguia, who had
entrained to come to the border, went
to Palomas with 800 troops and took
personal command.
The presence of Villa troops west of
Chihuahua City, government agents
believe, is the forerunner of the third
attack upon the state capital by Villa.
AS Villa now controls the western
part of the state, the agents say they
fear he may attempt to occupy the ter
ritory held by American troops as soon
as Gen. Pershing withdraws.
The occupation Of the border port
Of Ojinaga, opposite Preside, Tex, is
expected to be the next move of the
villa forces.
Rumors Of disaffection in the state
of Sonora have been received here and
the fact that a pro-Carranza American
newspaper was stopped from going
into that state has strengthened the
rumors that de facto troops may join
Villa.

Real Work Before soIons.

point. 1t Is likely that the nine liquor
bills the suffrage act the bills to abol-
ish the fee system throughout the
state and the measure to put an end
to the railroad pass evil in Tennessee
will come to a vote.
The senate will probably be some
what slower on the liquor bills than
the house. Whether anyone will have
the hardihood to come out openly
against them is considered rather i'm
probable. 1t is not very popular
around capitol hill now to be against
prohibition even If ones intentions do
lean in the opposite direction.

THREE COMPANIES WILL RETURN
Kentucky Troops Are Needed to oueIl
Trouble at Home.

Washington. -Three companies of
the Kentucky national guard now at
the border will be sent home as re-
suit of orders sent to Maj.-Gen. Fun
ston by the war department. At the
request of Gov. Stanley of Kentucky,
one company will be returned from
each of the three Kentucky regiments.
1t is understood that the recall of
three Kentucky companies from the
border is result of the disturbance
at Murray, Ky, last week where a
mob threatened the lives of Circuit
Judge Bush and Commonwealth At
torney Denny because the trial of a
negro accused of killing white man
was postponed.

Reverses Nulsanee case.

Persons accused of conducting a
liquor nuisance under the law of 1915,
known as the nuisance law, are en-
titled to have a jury decide the ques-
ton of their guilt or innocence, says
the supreme court, and are not to be
tried before a Judge or chancellor
without jury, in cases brought un-
der the custer law. This question was
determined in the case of State ex rel.
Mynatt VS.. R. A. King, from Knox
county. King was convicted in the
circuit court after his demand for a
Jury had been denied Both the court
of civil appeals and the supreme court
held that he was entitled to a jury,
and his conviction without a Jury was
reversed.
