March 11 The Amer ican commander of the 5 rebels that Joined Blanco's forces at Clnezas Springs says he came direct from Casas Grandes. Chihuahua, and was present at the bat tle there. He says Madero trained a final victory: that Madero'a brother was wounded slightly la the wrist, but that Madero was not Injured. He statea further that the Federals turned a cannon and machine runs on four houses occupied by Amerlc-n fam ilies, where American non-combatants bad taken refuse, and bombarded these un'll the occupants were killed. There were only seven American light ing men In the ranks taken prisoners, he says, the others escaplnr and later rejoining- Madrro's forces. Madero took the city, fathered up all supplies and marched out. The prisoners captured by the Federals during the first day's fight were compelled to gather up and bury the dead, numbering 192. of which all were Federals excepting 42. No means of confirming this man's ac count Is available here. . . It is now certain that Ttlanco Is act In la conjunction with Madero. General Blanco, the rebel leader, by delaying too long bis final attack t Acua Prteta. has apparently lost his op portunity.

The scheme haa not been worked out and. before It can be put In operation, must receive the approval of the President. Major-General Arthur Murray, who was promoted to that rank, will be attached for the time being to the office of Chief of Staff, taking Major-General Carter s place as assistant to the Chief of Start while General Carter Is in the South commanding the "maneuver division.

Because the authorities of Sangamon County, Illinois. Issued a subpena for him in connection with the proceedings against State Senator Holstlaw. Sena tor Bailey, of Texas. probably will make no explanation of the disappear ance in the Senate chamber here of the affidavit of Bank Clerk Newton and the Holstlaw bank deposit slip, concerning which there was much dis cussion during the pendency in the Senate of the resolution to vt?ate the seat of Senator Lorimer. - Bailey said the Associated Press was in error in sending out from Washing ton last Saturday the statement that ne was "at work on a statement con cerning: the disappearance of the pa pers." "Before the Senate adjourned," said Bailey, "Senator Cummins told me he had been asked to make an affidavit reciting he had recel-aed that paper and delivered it to me and also asked me to make an affidavit that I had re ceived It from him and handed It to Senator Tillman, who had in turn handed it to some other Senator who desired to see it. "I very ' readily told Senator Cum mins that I would make the affidavit and Saturday afternoon Senator Borah told me he had received a telegram from Senator Cummins asking me to prepare and send the affidavit at once. I immediately prepared it and deliv ered it to Senator Borah, to be sent to Senator Cummins. It did not take live minutes to prepare it and the statement that I was 'at work on a statement' is little less than ridlcul lous." ' The Senator went on to say that after he had given the affidavit to Borah he saw for the first time a news dispatch that a subpena had been Issued for hira in Springfield. 111., and on Sunday he sent a telegram to Cummins reading: "I received your message through Senator Borah yesterday afternoon and promptly prepared the affidavit, which I delivered to him for transmission to you.

I read a statement that the State's Attorney of Sangamon County had procured a sub pena duces tecum for me and, if that is true, I desire you to return my affi davit to me at once and under no cir cumstances will. I consent for the pros ecuting attorney at Springfield to have it. ' . "Of course Be perfectly understood that Illinois could not Issue a, subpena for persons outside of her Jurisdiction and therefore the application for it. if made, was a contemptible piece of petty politics.

Having made a lifetime study of the human eye as an index to character. I have Just discovered what I believe to be the Key to Happiness, good behavior and suc cess. If you have been bad instead of good, unhappy Instead of happy, and if your life has been punctu ated with miserable failure, per haps It wasn't all your own fault. You may attribute It to your head, or, rather, to the condition of your brain. "It Is now possible to make a man a very useful member of so ciety, no matter how erratic, un balanced and disagreeable he has been, simply by seeing that his brain and eye muscles receive proper nourishment. When any thing Is wrong It means that the man's brain, or some particular part of it, is being poorly nour ished. t, . "For Instance, that part In which the faculty of benevolence Is sit uated may "not be getting' enough blood.- Then such a man will not be benevolent- He will be animal-, like In his propensities. "He will not know how to keep order either as to his person and clothes or in any work that he does. I He may not be properly combative when others impose upon him, and will, therefore, fall an easy prey to unscrupulous per sons. He will be a dangerous member of society. But he can no more avoid being like this than he can help having indigestion. "An examination of the eyes of such a person showa that his brain doesn't get enough blood.
