MEXICAN BANDIT
 CHIEF IS SLAIN
Zapata Consistently Opposed All
 Authority in Land

Mexico City, April 12 (By the Asso- ciated Press Gen. Emiliano zapata, the rebel leader of southern Mexico, news of whose death reached this city yesterday, was killed Thursday morn ing during an engagement between his troops and government soldiers who had by a russo entered his camp ut Hacienda Chinemeca, near the village of Petlalcingo, Morelos.
 The government soldiers under the command of Gen. Pablo Gonzalez, planned to capture the rebel chief and pretended they were a part of the Fortieth regiment which had come to join Zapata's forces When Zapata was asked to review the men he be- came suspicious and took with him a large number of rebel troops. This prevented the carrying out of the plan and resulted in a general fight. Za pata fell, with many of his followers. A number of government soldiers also lost their lives.
 The government is taking unusual precautions to esta blish the fact of the rebel leaders death. Official photo graphs have been taken of the body, which has been viewed by many who knew Zapata, and dispositions have been required from those taking part in the battle.
 The body will be buried in the Zapa tista tomb at Tlaltizapan, More los, which was erected some years ago to receive the bodies of all those who signed the Zapatista covenant, known as the "plan of Alaya.'' In this tomb are buried many rebel leaders who have died during the past 10 years, including Eufemio Zapata, brother of the chieftain. It consists of great stone pedestal, in the base of which are number of burial compart- ments.
 Little is known of Zapatas s early life

WOULD GIVE SMITH
 ADDED YEARS DUTY
New Educational Bill Would Provide For Local Mans Term to
 Continue Until 1928

Hartford, April 12.-A new bill which has been drawn by the legis- lative committee on education, and which will probably be reported in the senate Tuesday or Wednesday, provides for the reorganization of sist of Ii members, including the gov ernor and lieutenant governor as ex- officio members, and provides, fur ther that the two members of the board whose terms expire on July l of this year will not be members un- less reappointed by the governor, up on being nominated by educational officials. The terms of Howell Chen ey of Manchester and Edward D. Rob-
 bins of New Haven, expire on July Of this year.
 The bill which is favored by tho
 committee on education provides that the following three members of the board shall be continued in office un- til 1923; John G. Stanton of New Lon don, whose term would otherwise ex-
 plfe on July l, l9ZO, COngreSSIlan n Schuyler Merritt of Stamford. who was appointed to serve until July 1,
 1921, and Charles F. Smith of New Britain, whose term would expire on July l, 1922. The bill provides fur ther, that the governor shall appoint three members to serve for four wears and three for six years. In addition. the governor is empowered to appoint one member at large, the other eight to be from different counties, giving each county a representation on the board.
 It was planned at first to have the governor appoint member from each county, after the legislators of the respective counties had nominat- ed eight men, 64 in all, from whom the governor would select eight. This idea was abandoned however, and the bill as now drawn provides that the chairman and secretaries of the local board of education in the towns in each county shall nominate member of the board, to be appointed by the governor, who will be empowered to ] notify the local educational officials l to hold county meetings for the pur- ] pose of making nominations.

 Morrison laughed as if he were try ing to overlook disagreeable domestic episode.
 Bob flashed at me indignantly:
 You don't know what you are say ing!" Then he relapsed into one of bis silences and remained in it the rest Of the day.
 But in the evening he dressed to make another call upon our lovely neighbor. He moved with an alacrity which irritated me, but we didn't dis cuss his visit as we had the others.
 I got through the hours of his ab- sence by alarming his socks. Any av- craze bride would express herself in the same way under similar trying conditions-would put her very incest stitches into the work.

in love itself, was lost forever.
 Scruples concerning the ethics of my plan to have Bob elope with the lady didn't bother MT. Morrison at all. The detectives listened with a vast delight in the plot. He said that if Bob could locate the child by agreeing to meet Miss Miller in Mexico, leaving the town to be named by her. then the plan was good. In his estimation it was a poor plan only in case it failed.
 The girl would give Bob the name of the place which was uppermost in her mind almost involuntarily, he thought. She wasn't highly educated, probably Such pretty women seldom were, he had observed that they didn't need to be Probably her knowledge of the geog- raphy of Mexico was extremely limited If she wasn't given much time to think-was just jollied along-any man would know how to do it-probably she would mention the name of the town which was hidden in her b-conscious mind. And that, very likely, would be the name of the town to which she had sent the child. Certainly the scheme was worth a try-out.
 So Morrison explained, repeating his idea sagely and draggin it out to a great length.
 Bob having had plenty of time to re- volt, wouldn't promise to do his share. He would call on Miss Miller again to this he assented almost too readily to please me-and he would comb Mexico from the Rio to the peninsula in search of Babs. but he couldn't so far forget his own honor as a gentle man-he couldn't coax Miss Miller into mock elopement.
 ''E1ope with her in earnest then! l don't care!" I flung at him before them all. Of course I did care as only bride could possibly care, but at the moment no possible sacrifice seemed too great to make for that helpless baby's sake.
 "Why, my child! What are you say ing?" demonstrated mother. I felt her reproof deeply and the tears came to my eyes for this was the first time she had ever reproached me.

PETER GETS PEPPER

Papa had asked a very dear friend of his who was in town on business to take dinner with him. He also asked that Norah make one of her famous applie pies as he remembered Prof. Burns was very fond of apple pie.
 When the pies were done they looked very delicious. Prof. Burns came and Jane served the pie, generous pieces of it. on mamma's hand painted pie plates. Peter put a big bite in his mouth-and almost choked- He looked up to see papa and mamma looking at each other. There was something wrong with that pie!

 It was wonderful to realize that love shapes human conduct, 1t was so won- derful, so satisfying that I, bride, couldn't possibly believe love to be a passing emotion, except occasionally.

Mardi Gras Ball
 For the Youngsters

gala event, the first of it's kind to be given here, is being planned for the Phoenix youngsters, a real Mardi Gras Ball, with king and queen, ladies' in-waiting, courtiers, pages and every thing. A king and queen will be chosen from among the children to preside over the gala affair which is. to be giv- en by the pupils in dancing of Yna Sonstegard King.
 The Mardi Gras ball will be an an nual affair after this and will be some thing for the children of the city to look forward to each year just as the grown folks look forward to their an nual balls and social events.
 The king and queen probably will be chosen by votes cast by the children, and the proceeds of the admission will be for some local cause, thus combining usefulness with pleasure.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The first Of the season suits far outstripped winter coats in popularity. That made an ex- tra large demand for small, tailored hats. Now with coats in the suprem- acy, and elaborate or artfully simple gowns beneath them, the big hat is in high favor.
 The hat above is of black hatter's silk, the width of its brim modified by the sweeping lines away from the face. Claim to distinction, unrivalled, lies in the green ostrich feather which trims the hat in a long line from front to back
