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.
Columbian Treaty to Senate Next.
Washington.—Secretary Prviti an
nounced that the Colombian treaty by
which it is proposed to pay $25,000,000
to the South American republic for
the partition of Panama, will go to
the senate for action after disposition
of the Panama tolls exemption repeal.

Rules Federal Courts Control,
Lincoln.—State courts have no au
thority to hear cases brought to re
cover back freight rates on grain paid [
under protest, according to a decision
of District Judge Cosgrave of the Lan
caster county district court in a case
brought by the Central Granaries
company against the Burlington rail
way. The case was a test on grain
shipped to Rulo, one of the Burling
ton's three transit points in this
state. 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.

ANTELOPES ARE VERY SCARCE
Pronghorn Variety la Being Huntec
Nearly to Extinction—Exceed
ingly Swift Animal.
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

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

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.

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

the rug to the station. Later Mrs.
Waller identified the rug as her prop

The Sergeant's Resource.
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. Stewart
i Brothers of Larkhali, which accom
; plisbed the journey at the rate of fully
I sixty-six miles an hour. In p*geon
flying these fast velocities can only
be accomplished when the birds have
■ 'he wind behind them, and should a
! pigeon have to face a moderate head
! wind, its speed would be only about
| thirty miles an hour.
