At last reports Carranza was still in
flight in the state of Puebla, almost
alone, probably heading for the vir-
tually ~impregnable Businesses Of the
ZacapoaXtla mountains. The tenn
porary government of the republic is
functioning quietly and it has been
practically agreed that General Con
zales shall be named provisional piesi-
dent by congress. The department. of
state at Washington has been urgel
to be cautious in recognizing or knp-
porting any action that had part ir the
overthrow of Carranza. The warning
came from representatives of indus
trial groups having interests in Mexico
and from former Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson and former Charge Mel
son O'Shaughnessy. They want def
mite assurances as to the attitude of
the new regime toward foreigners.
A great race is on among the ma
lions for the control of the worlds oil

lead. The American senate asked
President Wilson as to the chances OF
Americans acquiring oil producing
lands abroad and his reply outlines
the British policies as follows:
II. Deferring foreign nationals from
owning or operating oil producing
properties in the British isles, colonies
or protectorates.

three big subjects first mentioned are
left for the convention to deal with al
it sees fit.

Both Are Thoroughly Familiar With

The combination is am unusually
strong one. w. d. Stockard has been

PROBABLY SET NEW RECORD,
BELIEVED 1900 SOLD.

As the result Of Mondays mule
market fifty cars of mules have been
shipped out by the Columbia Mule Co.
Estimating that in each car there are
twenty-five of the long cared animals,
gives total of 1850. 1t is estimat-
ed that the number of mules shipped
is only two-thirds of the number sold,
gives a grand total of 800 mules, and
il is believed that this would run near
or 1000, Figuring these animals at
the conservative price of $500 each
gives the enormous total of $4,000,

That Physicians Accused Have Been

for Narcotics.

cases against the Black Drug Compa-
ny, DR.. ]. II. VOORHEES,, Dr. W. f..
Black and Dr.. r. M. Church, charged
with selling dope in violation of the
Harrison Anti-Narcotic law" all four
cases were dismissed, there being no
evidence upon which they could have
been convicted On the other hand a
large number of witnesses testified
that the parties accused of violation
of the anti-narcotic law had been very
careful in its observance. Witness
after witness told of the calls that are
so frequently made for narcotics by
those habitually addicted to the use
Of drugs, and how the physicians ac-
to sell them dope at all, and only cases
Of intense suffering, and where the pa.
tient was known to be a droug addict
of long standing did the physicians
even give prescriptions for narcotics.
In addition to the many character
witnesses, there were expert witness
es who testified that the habitual use
Of drugs becomes an actual disease,
as sulphate morphine creates in the
body o poison toxin which can hardly
be thrown off, and creates craving
| for more of the drug.
These cases are the outcome of ar
rests made last March during the rush
OF dope fiends' from every section
of the United States to the powder
plant at Nashville In an effort to rid
the city and county of Davidson of
these dopers, federal officers got busy
and made scores Of arrests in Nash
