U. S. GAINS POINT HUERTA ENTIRELY ELIMNIATED BY MEDIATORS. ENVOTS SIGN FIRST PROTOCOL Agreement as to Transfer cf Authori ty from Present to New Govern ment Accepted. Niagara Falls, Ont.—Delegates from the United States and the Huerta government have formally affixed their signatures in the presence of the mediators to the first protocol of the series through which it is hoped to restore peace in Mexico. The agreement reached in relation to the manner of transferring the execu tive power from Huerta to the new provisional government stood the acid test of reduction to writing. It provides that: a government is to oe constituted in Mexico of a character to be later provided, which shall be recognized by the United States on (date to be fixed) and which from that day for ward shall exercise public functions until there shall be inaugurated a constitutional president. This plank in the peace plan was reduced to the form of a protocol af ter more than three weeks of discus sion, in the last three days of which so serious a disagreement had arisen that the success of mediation was threatened. The brief protocol was significant of two things: It makes no mention of General Huerta as the provisional president and it omits the methods of transfer which the Mexican delegates and mediators suggested and to which the United States objected on the ground that its retention would be tanta mount to recognition of the existing regime. The Mexican plan provided that Huerta should name as minister of foreign affairs the man agreed upon here for provisional president. The omission of reference to the method of succession and the flat statement that on a certain date a provisional government shall arise in Mexico to which the United States will accord recognition satisfied the lnslstance of the American delegates that no steps should be taken that could be construed as a recognition of Huerta. Impeachment Charges Aga'nst Judge. Washington, D. C.—Impeachment charges were presented in the house against Alston G. Dayton. United States district Judge for the northern district of West Virginia and with out objection, were referred to the judiciary committee for investiga tion. Representative Neely of West Vir ginia. presented the charges accusing the Jurist of “high crimes and misde meanors.’' , The case grows out of the labor troubles In West Virginia. One of the allegations is that Judge Dayton used his office to the advantage of the coal operators. Mr. Neely charged the jurist had “openly stated that he would not permit the United Mine Workers' union to exist within his court's jurisdiction. The resolution gives the judiciary committee all necessary authority for investigation and hearings. More Jobs Than Men. Washington, D. C.—Predicting that within a month there would be more jobs in the United States than men, Secretary of Labor Wilson hoped to solve the problem of getting men to fill the places. His forecast was based on the bumper wheat crop, re vival of the iron trade, mining and textile industry. The secretary has already received requests for m:re than 80,000 laborers in the wheat belt of the west and south and he plans to arrange with the railroads special excursions from the east to get the men to the w-heat fields. House Accepts Amendment. Washington, D. C.—Only President Wilsons signature is necessary to re peal the clause of the Panama canal act exempting American coastwise shipping from toils. The long and bitter fight in con gress ended when the house, after brief debate and without the formali ty of a conference, accepted by a vote ot 216 to 71 the senate amendment specifically reserving all rights the United States may have under the Hay-Pauncefote treaty or otherwise. Sharp for Paris Post. Washington.—Representative Will iam G. Sharp, of Ohio will be nomi nated as ambassador to France in the near future, according to reports cur rent in official circles.

At these points the shipper is allowed to store his grain for a per iod of not to exceed six months. While the grain in question was in storage and under consignment to a St. Louis house, the Burlington raised its tariff and charged for the remainder of the way under the new tariff. The Gran aries company paid under protest and sued to recover. The decision cf Judge Cosgrove means that suits of this kind must be brought in the fed eral courts. Board Hear* Collins' Plea.

Denver, Colo.—It would seem to be something of a feat to climb such a desert boulders as are found in south ern Colorado. The men who climbed those recks camped for several days at the base of a pile of them while on an antelope hunting expedition. The pronghorn antelopes which at one time abounded throughout the great West have been hunted of late years to such an extent that they are becoming very scarce. They are ex ceedingly swift animals, however, and in a straightaway chase it takes a horse of unusually good bottom to enable the hunter to get within rifle range. With the black-powder rifles cf 20 years ago, and their range of 25) to 300 yards, there was little danger of the extinction of the antelope, but with the present-day high power smokeless powder rifles with telescope sights, the poor antelope is a much more frequent victim. Trusting to his great speed he seems to take delight in keeping “just out of range" and this he could do to a nicety with the older hunters who carried black-powder Winches ters, running ahead about three hun dred and fifty or four hundred yards, and slackening his pace most provok inglv when the hunter slackened his. He seemed to delight in being one of a party to many a “wild goose chase." But in spite of his extraordinary vision due to hiB great telescopic eyes, the antelope apparently cannot adjust Do# Antelope Tamed by Ranchman. his notions of safety to the much more deadly qualities of the high-power rifle. He will scour across the plain like the wind for a mile or so and then, consumed with curiosity, he will stop and turn to look at the hunter, well within range of the good marks man. The result is that this beautiful animal is becoming scarcer and scarcer, although owing to the vast extent of the desert and semi-desert land in the West it is not probable that it will ever become actually ex tinct. Possibly, too, in a few more generations of animals the instinct of self-preservation will keep it out of range of even the dynamite guns. The antelope is a true desert type of deer. It never enters the forest and can go for days without water. It has been found at such great distances from water that it had the reputation among some for never drinking but these failed to consider that the ante lope can easily cover 100 miles in much less than a day. Near some of the rock piles in the desert are salt lick, where antelopes and other desert animals come to get the 6alL MADE ILL BY DOG'S DEATH Owner Couldn't Sleep for Thinking of Loss of Pet; So He Sues Chief of Police. Pittsburgh, Pa.—When Chief of Po lice William Hazlett of Tarentum shot and killed a dog owned by John H. Huey, the latter was sorely grieved. So much so, in fact, that he brought suit against Hazlett asking damages to the extent of $35 for the loss of his kyoodle. The bill of particulars is couched In terms of endearment for the dead canine, and the claim for damages is based on the following grounds: "That the loss of,the dog has caused Huey much distress and discomfort, and that his health has been impaired because of the death of the canine, as it caused him to Ic«e sleep at nights, and also deprived him of the animal's love and affection.” Huey declared that money cannot assuage his grief, but all things con sidered, he should be paid for the dog. DUST DIDN’T BLIND SLEUTH New York Detective Sees Man Beat ing Rug ar.d Remembers Old Theft. New York.—Detective Martin Owens of the West Forty-seventh street po lice station, was walking along West Forty-third street when, on top of the tenement house at 203, he saw Harry Smith, a tenant, beating a Persian rug. The dust flew ouflof the rug at a rate ! that attracted the attention of the de- , tective. “That looks like the rug, by the de scription. that was stolen from Mrs Dora Waller of 309 West Forty-third street on October ♦, 1912." said Owens to himself, pat as a walking encyclo pedia of records. Then he went up and arrested Smith and took him and the rug to the station. Later Mrs. Waller identified the rug as her prop erty. “Birth Pangs of a New Democracy." j Chicago.—“The cries that come to ; as from Colorado and from other scenes of strife—cries for vengeance snd for blood—are not the death knell af this republic, but are the birth pangs of a new Democracy,” said Tames A.

Now the United States has sent a military expedition to Mexico we shall hope to hear something of Sergeant Murphy, says London Tit-liils. During some manueuvers in the Philippine* the sergeant was in charge of a patrol. The men, when getting tired cf the day's operations and eager to get back to camp and supper, came to a moun tain torrent spanned by a bridge which was unluckily placarded “Destroyed.” Much averse to a long detour. Ser ; geant Murphy did a little reconaoit ering, and, finding no sign of an enemy : in the neighborhood, led his men to i the bridge. Half-way across they were surprised by a galloping officer "Hi!” he shouted. "Can't you see that this bridge is supposed to be de stroyed?” "Sure. 1 do, sir," answered Murphy; "but this detachment is supposed to be swimming.” Pigeon’s Fast Flight. The Lanarkshire <Scotlandi Homing ; Federation had a most successful race ! from Dumfries the other week, and many of the birds covered the distance to their lofts at a speed of over sixty ! miles an hour. The fastest performance that has been reported in the race was that of a pigeon belonging to Messrs.
