GENERAL SALAZAR I
ARRESTED IN U. S.
* i
TAKEN OFF TRAIN WHILE EN
ROUTE TO JOIN THE FEDERAL
GARRISON.
IS SEVENTH IN CUSTODY
Faces Charge of Conspiracy to Smug
gle Arms and Ammunition Into Mex
ico?No Officers Were Killed at
Ojinaga. ,
Presidio, Texas.?Efforts of the bor
der authorities to round up the Mexi
can Federal generals who fled from
Ojinaga, Mexico, before the rebels re
sulted in the arrest at Sanderson of
Gen. Jose Ynez Salazar, who was tak
en from a train while en rout^ to join
the Federal garrison in Mexico oppo
site Eagle Pass, Texas.
Salazar is the seventh Mexican gen
eral to come into the custody of the
United States authorities. The others
are Generals Mercado, Castro, Landa,
Orphinal, Aduana and Romero. Three
others are still missing but are be?
lieved to be hiding in Texas. They
are Generals Pascual Orozoco, Mar
cello Caravao and Antonio Rojas.
Salarzar who achieved distinction
through his rams on tne mormon cuiu
nies in Northern ^lexico is wanted at
Sante Fe. N. M., where he was indict
ed on charges of conspiracy to smug
gle arms and ammunition into Mexico.
He was arrested in El Paso, hut
forfeited his bond. Orozco also is un
der indictment, but never was ar
rested. -
Salazar was playing cards in the
train when captured. He at once ad
mitted his identity and was taken to
Marfa to be put under bond for his
appearance in Sante Fe. The military
authorities, however, prepared to re
arrest him and removed him to El
Paso with the other Federal soldiers
and generals who escaped to this
country.
The capture of Salazar convinced
the border patrol that Orozco and
Pamttaa T\Aooiklv urUVl Mhor Onl/llDrC
vai a v at pvooiui/ tt ivu wuv* uv4v?>w*w
and officers were hiding in Texas. Sal
azara at first jokingly said he thought
Orozco had been killed at Ojinaga but
later he admitted that all the generals
had escaped.
It appeared that Salazar and Oroz
to with a small command, after escap
ing from Ojinaga, rode eastward along
the Rio Grande to a point on the bor
der near Sanderson, where the railroad
is not so far inland. In the meantime a
fictitious message had been sent' to
Mexico City that the Federal volun.
teer generals were in the state of Coa
hulla, en route to San Luis Potosi.
The Mexican refugees being taken
to El Paso as wards of the American
government had reached Shafter 22
miles from the border.
Suffragettes Invade South.
Chicago.?Mrs. Desna Breckinridge
of Kentucky will have charge of con
gressional organization work in the
Southern States in the campaign for
equal suffrake, according to an an
nouncement made h^re. Mrs. Breck
inridge's work will be done in connec
tion with a canvass to be begun in
Washington soon by members of the
congressional committee of the Nat
ional Suffrage Association to deter
mine tne views or representatives ana
senators on the proposed federal
amendment for votes for women.
Trust Message Complete.
Washington. ? President Wilson
showed the completed draft of his
trust message to Representative
Stanley of Kentucky, and after the
conference Mr. Stanley said he con
curred in every line of the document
which will be delivered to congress.
Mr. Stanley said that what partic
ularly pleased him was that the pres
ident outlined the general principles
to be dealt with, leaving details and
specific measures to be worked out
by congress.
Issues Call for Bank Statements.
Washington.?The comptroller of
the currency issued a call for a
statement of the condition of all na
tional banks on Jan. 13.
Untitled Land Plentiful.
Washington. ? Preliminary esti
mates by the department af agricul
ture show that of the 1,140,000,000
acres of tillable land in the United
State3 only 27 per cent of it is actu
ally under cultivation. It is estimat
ed that the United States, excluding
its possessions, contains about 1,900,
000,000 acres, of which about 60 per
cent of 1,140,000,000 acres is tillable.
This includes land already under
such cultivation and that which in the
future may be brought under cultiva
tion by clearing, drainage, irrigation.
Increase Flow of Milk.
Ithaca, N. Y.?Experiments made
on goats in the College of Medicine at
Cornell University may eventually
lead to an increase in the supply of
milk and thereby reduce prices. Ac
cording to R. P. Hill, a graduate stu
dent at Cornell, a goat has been made
to give milk of twice the quantity and
five times richer in cream through the
injection of a recently discovered ser
um under the skin or into a large
blood vessel of the animal. Whether
the same process will give results
when applied to cows is not known.
Evacuation Work on Canal.
Washington.?Because of the titan
ic attack being made upon the great
earth slide in the Panama cuial at
Cuarach in the Cuelbre cut, where
about seven great dredges and moni
tors are working day and night to
clear the channel the total evacua
tion for December was 1,581.725 cubic
yards against 1,347.756 yards in No
vember. Tne amount of concrete
placed, in the gates and approaches
also showed an increase, being 3,144
cubic yards in December against 2,
S17 yards in November.

Yarmouth, N. S.?Snatched froir
what seemed almost certain death, the
108 passengers and crew of the' Royal
Mail Packet Cobequid are safe in Yar

pieces on Trinity Rock, six miles ofl
Port Maitland. The rescue will gc
down in shipping annals as one of the
most notable ever accomplished on the
Atlantic coast
The Cobequid had begun to break
up under the cannoning of the ter
rific seas that had been merciless from
the time the vessel struck. Quantities
of cargo covered the waters as the
lifeboats ranged alongside. The coas
tal steamers Westport and John L.
i Cann were first to get their small
boats into the water and they were
followed soon by boats of the govern'
ment steamer Lansdowne. and the
steamer Rappahannock. As the worfc
of rescue progressed the seas subsid'
ed and no mishap marred the triumph
over the waves.
Captain McK,innon of the Westport
found the liner on Trinity lodge in
the afternoon. At the time there was
a high wind and rough sea. He took
off in three lifeboat loads seventy-twc
persons, including all passengers, the
purser, several deck officers and part
of the crew.
The Westport stood by until the
John L. Cann came up. The latter
took off twenty-four men as the West
port was leaving for Yarmouth.
The 108 persons on the Cobequid in
cluded twelve first cabin passengers
and an equal number in the second
class. Mrs. W. C. Zoller and her child
were the first to go over the side.
Then followed Misses Marguerite and
Dorothy James, daughters of the late
R. H. James, mayor of St. Georges,
Bermuda, and two sisters of charity.

ANTI-TRUST LEGISLATION LOOMS
AS BIG BUSINESS AT THIS
SESSION OF CONGRESS.
The Anti-Trust Experts Are at Work
in Both Houses?A Period of
Great Activity Begun.
Washington.?Congress settled down
to its long regular session after a
recess dating from the passage of the
currency bill just before Christmas.
The coming administratin anti-trust
legislation loomed up as the big busi
ness of the winter; but with the pros
pect of waiting until the president's
message both houses turned actively
to other matters. ,
In the house return to work was
celebrated by prompt passage of the
first of Jthe annual supply measures,
tha* TUntrW nf nrvlnmhia annronriation
bill, and the Introduction of the usUal
opening day batch of miscellaneous
measures. The senate began debate
on the Alaskan government railroad
bill. j
Anti-trust experts In both houses
began a period of extraordinary activ
ity, to end when the anti-trust pro
gram is written into law before the
close of the session.
Chairman Clayton and Representa
tives Caflin and Floyd of the house
committee, are reviewing the long list
of anti-trust measures already before
the committee. It is not probable that
any of these bills will be accepted as
a part of the administration plan, but
all the ideas embodied in them* will
be considered. Senator Newlands of
the senate commerce committee ex

SEISMIC SHOCKS IN JAPAN
Volcanic Eruption Follows Shocks and
People Are in Panic.
Tokio, Japan.?A series of 350 slight
earthquakes shook the town og Kago
shima at the southern end of the Island
of Kiushlu. They were followed by the
eruption of a volcano on Sakura, a
small island in the Gulf or Kagoshl
ma, where two Villages were buried
in ashes.
The earthquakes continue incessantly
and the work of rescuing the inhabi
tants of Sakura by boats across the in
tervening three miles of water from
Kagoshima is extremely difficult.
Warships have been dispatched to
Kagoshima with doctors and supplies.
Railroad and telegraph lines are now
broken.
The town of Kagoshima is in great
danger, according to the latest reports.
Earth shocks and violent volcanic
eruptions continue. Inhabitants are
fleeing for their lives. The popuia
tion of the Island of Sakura is about
15,000, and It is impossible to estimate
the casualties. It is feared many have
perished.
(Trust in God, Says Marshall.
Washington.?Infidelity and discus
sion from the pulpit of the latest bits
of scandal were scored by Vice Pres
ident Marshall, ip an address to the
Woman's Missionary Society here. He
declared he would rather have the
American people bow down before an
image than acknowledge no God at all,
adding that if the republic is to en
dure "We must go back and place our
faith in God." "What this country
needs," said the vice president, "is
not laws, police nor large armies. It
needs men with backbone."
Sfteking for Gold, Men Beat Woman.
Baltimore, Md.?After dragging a

ILLE, S. C.
BAYONETS 10 RULE
IN SOUTH AFRICA
GOVERNMENT MEETS GENERAL
STRIKE ORDER BY DECLAR
ING MARTIAL LAW.
*
SITUATION JS VERY GRAVE
Feeling Is Very Bitter Throughout the
Country?Natives Are
Feared.
Cape Town, Union of South Africa.?
A general strike throughout South Af
rica was proclaimed by the Trades
Federation, and the Rand miners, by
a two-thirds majority, voted to join
in the movement. Governmental retal
iation was swift In the form of the
proclamation of martial law.
This was the only step the authori
ties believed adequate to meet the sit
uation, for the strike of the miners
means not only the turning loose of
the most turbulent spirits in the Rand,
but raises the whole question of the
position of the native workers. If the
miners actually obey the strike order,
the government will immediately take
steps to send the natives, under es
cort, back to their kraals.
This means that about two hundred
thousand natives must be marched
back by road to their homes at enor
mous cost. It will be most difficult,
after the end of the strike, to recruit
them again. In brief, such a step
would mean disaster for the Rand for
many years.
Although official reports from the
city of Johannesburg show improve
ment in the train service, reports from
other districts are less encouraging.
In Natal the situation Is one of great
tension, and it is feared that the loy
altv of the trainmen will not stand the
strain much longer. An instance of
the men's temper is shown by the ac
tion of an engine driver who,quit his
train on the Veldt and left the passen
gers stranded.
Practically no information is at hand,
as to conditions in the Orange Free
States, but improvement there is not
considered probable.
HUERTA DEFAULTS ON DEBT
Dictator Announces No interest Will
Be Paid on Debts.
Mexico City.?After a meeteing of
the cabinet, whifth lasted all night, the
Mexican foreign minister, Querido Me
heno, announced that the Mexican gov
ernment will default in the payment
of all interest on the bonds of the
internal and external debts, which now
remains unpaid or which falls due with,
in the next six months. A heavy pay
ment of interest on the foreign debt
becomes due in April.
Tt has been the Dractice of the eov
ernment to make weekly remittances
to New York, London and Paris to ap
ply on its interest obligations, in or
der that when the interest payment
periods arrived the money would be
in hand. These weekly remittances
now have been suspended, the explana
tion being that the government re
quires all available funds for pacifi
cation purposes. v
Not Moral Turpitude to Libel King.
New York.?If it would not involve
a moral turpitude to publish ^in Eng
land a defamatory libel "against a
field laborer in Devon or a street
sweeper in London," it would not In
volve moral turpitude to publish the
same libel "regarding the lord chan
cellor, or even the king," the United
States court of appeals held. The
court expressed this view in deciding
that Edward F. Mylius, whom the de
partment of commerce ordered deport
ed, cannot be barred from the United
States on the charge of moral turpi*
tude.

official advices. It is believed the
Kagoshima disaster will prove to be
one of the most serious in the history
of Japan. The loss of life and' prop

the scene. The full extent of the dis
aster could not be ascertained, as all
communication was cut off.
John Skelton Williams Comptroller.
Washington. ?President Wilson has
nominated John Skelton Williams ot
Virginia, assistant secretary of tha
treasury, for comptroller of the cur

federal reserve board which will ad

BRANCH OF ACTIVITY.
(
MISS LECHNER MAKES GOOD
> \
Florence Girl In Beaufort County Is
Mal/inn 3 Make Ef
fort to Make Enough Canned Goods
to Supply Colleges.
Florence.?Miss Edith Parrott, who
is in charge of the girls'"work in the
state for the department of agricul
ture, spent one day recently in the
cky in conference with Miss Bertha
Lechner, who is in charge in Beau
fort, and others who are interested
In the work. Miss Parrott says that
great things are planned for the
work among the girls this year and
that the growth of the work has been
most gratifying to. those whose hearts
and hands are united in it
Miss Bertha Lechner is a Florence
jirl who is making good in the work
in the seagirt county of Beaufort,
and she Is delignad with the success
she has had and the\ interest that the
people of that county,have shown in
it, and the kindness that they have
shown to her since she has been
among them. >
Miss Parrott says that there will
be 20 counties included in the work
this year, as against 16 last year.
Last year some counties were so
anxious for the literature and the su
pervision-of the government agents
that they paid the whole amount
themselves after the government ap
propriation had been exhausted. This
was most gratifying to her, showing
the interest that the people took in it
from a practical standpoint.
The great thing that is to be added
'to the work of the girls this year will
be poultry raising. This branch of
industry has been in view ever since
the work was undertaken, but the
tomato canning had to be made a suc
cess first Now the department is
ready to go into the chicken btisinesG
with the girls on the farms and in the
schools, and the high price of poul
try will prompt them all to get in
line for th6 chickens. The first idea
will be to make enough for the people
at home. There must be eggs and
chickens for' the folk at home, but
after that the mkrket will, be sup
11 _ J J ?111 lJ_ -M
pnt!U, ituu 1UU1&CUU5 rr xi*
the features of the game.
Another line of activity will be the
standardizing of the girls' products.
They varied t,oo much last year, and
now they are to be taught the second
lesson, that of standardization so that
the consumer will know just whatjhe
is getting and the girls will strive for
better things and higher grades.
The girls did not make enough
canned goods to supply the demands
of Winthrop and Clemson, which en
gaged the entire output of the state.
This year Miss Parrott hopes to bq
able to supply a very lively outside
demand for the girls1 goods, after
stocking the pantries at the state in
stitutions of learning.
Miss Parrott is very much^pleased
that Secretary Houston has asked es
pecially. for a detailed report of the
work in South Carolina for his office,
indicating that he has been much
pleased with results bete.

Spring voted $12,000 worth of bonds
for the purpose of building a new
school house. The vote was 41 for
and 20 against bonds. The old build
ing now in use was built nearly 30
years ago and is, of course, far be
hind the times. The school now has
the largest enrollment that it has had
in years. The town is not only pro
gressive in school affairs, but also
moving forward in financial and other
lines.
Cotton in Darlington.
Darlington.?Coxton has not stop
ped coming in on the Darlington mar
ket. J. P. Kirven, a large planter,
brought to town recently 16 wagons,
carrying between 50 and 60 bales. The
county is short in the amount of cot
ton made, but the higher prices have
helped very much toward evening up.
The tobacco crop this year was a
large one, and the prices unprecedent
edly high, and the condition of the
farmer at this time in the county is
largely due to this early summer crop
of tobacco.

Bays the Manchurian Daily News. In
addition to salt cod, the \eased terri
tory exported 6,000 yen worth of
swordfish last year. This flsh, which

tening, scaleless body, is found in
great abundance in these coast waters. &
The local quality is bette^ suited to
the Chinese palate than imports from
Ningpo and ports on the North China
coasts, and has a promising future on
the Shanghai market In fact, the
Chinese are heavy consumers of thi?
fish, the total annual import to Shang
