ON MEXICAN BORDER.


Ell PASO, Tex, Febi 17.-Despite
the failure of Mexican revolutlon1sts
to attack JuareZ, opposite here, as
it was rumored they intended to do,
and the assertion of General Eugenlo
Martinez, commander of the north
ern military zone of Mexico, that
there was no sign of revolutionary
activity in the zone, the first United
States cavalry, stationed at Fort
Bliss here, still was held in camp
this morning in readiness for emer-
gencies. 1t was said at the camp
that this condition would continue
until the rumors of an impending
revolution in Mexico ended.
General Martinez, who arrived
here yesterday from Chihuahua, said
that 1.-The revolutionary furry has
passed." adding that the leaders of
the proposed revolt had been caps
tured, and two of them, General Ar
turo Ruiz and Captain ]. L. Perez,
executed.
General Ruiz and Captain Perez
were captured, General Martinez
said, after they had made an unsuc-
cessful attempt to induce Francisco
Villa to join the revolutionists.
Rosalia Hernandez, Villas former
chief of staff, revolted( at Santa Ro-
salia and took the field with twenty

First Woman Deputy

Miss Ruth HUE, of Hapeville, Ga,
member of the clerical staff of Sher-
iff J. 1. Lowry, has the unique dis
tinction of being the first woman
in the state of Georgia to be sworn
in as a deputy sheriff.
For about two years Miss HUE
has been attached to the sheriff S
office assisting in the clerical work.
However, Sheriff Lowry decided
Wednesday that he needed a lady
deputy to assist him in the work OF
the office, and as all other employees
in the office were deputies. he
thought it only hair that Miss HUE
should be made one.
Miss HUE WIS taken to the office
of Judge Thomas H. Jeffries, ordl-
nay of Fulton county, where she
was sworn in Wednesday by Arthur
r. Marbut.
1t developed Thursday, however,
that due to a misunderstanding Miss
lie had been sworn in as a spe-
cial deputy. Sheriff Lowry said he
wanted her to be "a regula- deputy
sheriff" so she was sworn in Thurs
day by Judge Jeffries-this time, as
duly qualified deputy sheriff | OF
Fulton county.
If Miss HUE lives up to her en-
vlronment, she should mase@ an ex-

GRAIN

CHICAGO Feb. 17.-Wheat was erratic
today. There was much long May whea t
sold out by local holders, and this put
wheat on the market which proved burden
later. The market, however, did not present
an appearance of weakness, because every
time May reached $1.38 after break to
$1.37h there was excellent buying, cred
tied to Armour. July exhibited independent
strength. The start was lower and on every
bulge there were free offerings encouraged
by the lower trend of the May, but the
buying was broad enough to keep the price
begged near the previous closing level
Primary receipts continue of good volume
Spot wheat was relatively unchanged with
a broader inquiry for the low grades. Liv-
erpool spot wheat was Id higher but flu
lures were Id to lad lower. Buenos Aires
opened 115c lower, Seaboard reported Ger
many took 500, 900 bushels OF wheat Ihurs-
day.
Corn trade was not so active. The start
was easy but good commission house buy
ing steadied the market. Receipts are not
heavy. Cash corn basis was unchanged
Exporters took 20, 900 bushels of corn over
for No. yellow, and bid this price for
more, but sellers advanced their limits &c
to SC. Domestic shipping demand is at
standstill.
Oats were lower. There was considerable
pressure from longs and cash interest. Buy
ing was mainly for short account Re-
ceipts were larger, but cash discounts re-
mained unchanged. Shipping demand was
moderate.
Provisions were firmer, despite lower
hogs There was a good investment dc
