some time ago. The boy had been
crazy for a horse for years and be-
cause he wanted feed for the animal
he entered a store belonging to the
Consolidation mines in Harrison coun-
ty number OF weeks ago and stole
some feed. He was arrested and
placed in tho Clarksburg Jail but no
case was made against him and he
was released. In the meantime the
boys father. because he couldn't, or
Wouldn't, feed the horse, gave It away
to a man by the name OF Harbert. Har-
bert gave the horse to George Cree
mems. When Lindsay returned he
went straight for his horse and find
ing 1t gone. went to creemens and got

Changes Are Made
In N. Y. Against
Former Governor

Albany, N. Y. April 1l.-Testify-
ing before the judiciary committee
of the senate today, Senator George
F Thompson ofsNiagara said that
Richard Burke of New York told
him that if he would assist in the
passage of the Carson Martin in
creased trolley fare bill, he could
become governor of the state and
that the traction interests would
raise in his behalf a campaign fund
amounting to $500,0O0.
Senator Thompson also told of
dining subsequently with former
Gov. Charles S. Whitman at the st.
Regis hotel, New York, at Mr.. Whit
mans invitation. He said that the
former governor told him he had
been requested to talk with him by
Theodore P. Shonts, Of the Inter-
borough company. Mr.. Whitman, he
testified, told him he thought he was
making mistake in not supporting
the Carson Martin bill, as it might
give him chance to be governor. 4
New York, April 1l.-Charles S.
Whitman, former governor of New
York, denied here today that he
mentioned to State Senator George
F. Thompson the subject of the
governership in a conversation the
two men had at the St. Regis hotel,
in this city, as testified to today
by Senator Thompson at the SEN
ate judiciary committees hearing at
Albany.

BANDIT HEAD IN
Mexico MEETS
Death IN FIGHT

pata and Villa worked together
against Huerta, but the southern
leader soon disagreed with the
northern rebel chief and withdrew
again to the mountains south of
Mexico City.
Ruthless Against Opponents.
Fear of the revenge of Zapata
added greatly to the success OF the
bandit leader because, as many re-
ports testify, he was ruthless against
those who opposed him. Poor and
uneducated, Zapata was the leader
of the Indians of Mexico as op-
posed to the Spanish and half-Span-
lsh ruling class. His was a per-
sonal leadership. When he was sue
cessful, his followers lived on the
best that could be found in captured
cities and towns. When reverses
came his followers scattered. His
plans for a government of Mexico
was to place the power in the hands
oe the Indians.
The presence of Zapata in More
os was constant threat to Mexico
City, and since 1916 the Carranza
government has been campaigning
against the rebel chief. On March
II it was reported that Zapata's
stronghold had been captured by
tie government forces; that his fol-
lowers were surrendering and that
he had fled to the mountains with
small band.

the lands which had felt the hand
OF absoiutism and milithrism. 1t
was a source of surprise and dis
couragement, the president said, to
hear opposition expressed to such a
doctrine and such a purpose.
The presidents speech closed the
discussion. There was no vote and
when there were no further remarks
the chairman of the meeting said the
amendment would be considered
adopted. The commission then took
up the next article of the covenant.
Women's Appeal Heard.
The women's deputation, which
was received by the commission and
which asked that the principle of
suffrage for women be recognized
in the covenant of the league, was
headed by the marchioness of Aber-
deem. She assured the commission
of the sympathy with the league of
nations felt by their organization,
the international council of woman
suffragists of the allied nations, and
she urged the commission to con-
slider recognition of the equal right
of women to sit in the league.
The further requests of the women
were for the suppression of traffic
in women and children, the estab-
lishment of a bureau of education
and of an international bureau of
hygiene.

sented the United States. Madame
