Brigadier-General's Rush East
Viewed as United States'
Intervention Step.
BAND SERENADES OFFICER
Commander or Deportment of Co
lirmhia. Which Ceased to Exist at
Midnight. Goe to Lead Troops
That Will Entrain First.
VANCOUVER BARRACKS. Wash..
Feb. 14. (Special.) With the depart
ure tonight of Brigadier-General
Marlon P. Maus for his new post to
command the First Brigade of the
First Division of the United States
Army, stationed at Albany. H. V., the
United States Government made pre
sumably the first actual move in the
sending of troops to quell the Mexi
can disturbances should they grow
worse.
The First Division will be the first
to move should the Mexican revolution
demand Intervention. The fact that
the Secretary of War has. by telegraph,
ordered General Maus to rush to his
new command is taken here as an in
dication that the Government means
actually to move toward Mexico any
necessary troops to handle the situa
tion. The parting of General Maus tonight
was historical as well as Impressive,
lie left as department commander of
tlie Department of the Columbia, an
Army divisional organization which
after 46 years passes out of e:dstence
at midnight as a result of the recent
reorganisation effected in the Army.
Band Serenades General.
But there was a personal impor
tance attached to the going of the
highly esteemed commander from tlie
barracks. The Twenty-nrst Infantry
hand assembled in front of General
Maus' headquarters at 7 o'clock and
flayed "Auld Lang Syne" and "God
Speed Our Friend." according to old
Army customs. Later every officer
of the post gathered in front of the
commander's quarters and Joined In the
Informal reception Just before his train
left at 7:40 o'clock.
General Maus. barring accident or
delay, will arrive at his new charge
Tuesday night. He announced before
going that, nothing happening, he would
he ready to assume duty Wednesday
morning. It Is confidently believed at
the post here that General Maus will
he among if not the first to head troops
for the border If Intervention is actual
ly decided upon.
Maus to Retire In Two Yearn.
General Maus has been In the serv
ice of tlie United States Army 44 years
And will retire, on account of age, in
less than two years. He has been
commanding the Department of the
Columbia since July t. 1909.
The Department of the Columbia was
established by the President June 27.
1865. and Brigadier-General G. Wright
was the first to command it here. For
a few years the department headquar
ters were in Portland, but were re
moved back before 1878. An officers'
register of officers passing or calling
at the headquarters was begun In 1870
and this was yet In service today.
Major Adrien S. Fleming, Adjutant
General under General Maus, has been
ordered to remain here to act as bri
gade adjutant. This post will be head
quarters for the Seventh Brigade of
the Third Division, beginning tomor
row. The troops under command here
will comprise the First Infantry, under
t'olonel George S. Young, now post
commander of Vancouver Barracks;
the Fourteenth Infantry, at Fort
George Wright and Fort Lawton, and
the Twentieth Infantry, now at Fort
Douglas, Salt Lake City, under Colonel
Irons.

patches on his side. The committee,

Wlth one eye blown out. the other in
jured. his right leg badly broken, his
right arm. face and breast badly
burned and bruised and his left leg
bruised. William Vandeventer. a county
road employe, lies in St. Mary's Hos
pital here as the result of a dynamite
explosion while he was trying to thaw
out about 20 sticks of giant powder.
The accident took place yesterday on
the Burton & Wilson grade, on Rock
Creek several miles east of this city,
where the county Is building a new
road. The injured man was brought
to the hospital today.
Vandeventer. according to three men
who were working on the road grade,
had left his drill to kindle a fire for
thawing the powder. After he had
placed the powder back of the fire his
companions heard him shout, but could
not understand what he said. They
saw him run a short distance, then
turn and run back to the fire, where
he was in the act of reaching down,
presumably to throw out the dynamite,
when It exploded. One of his shoes
was torn from his foot and thrown 30
feet away.

GLEAM OF PEACE SEEN
It A 1 1 . T ; O A D S SCABS NEW PRO
POSALS TO PIREJIEX,
Presidents of Affected Lines .Meet
and Put Situation With Man
agers Who Act Anew.
NEW YORK. Feb. 14. A new possi
bility of peace between the 54 Eastern
railroads and their 4000 firemen who
have threatened to strike for higher
wages and revised working conditions
appeared tonight with a fresh arbitra
tion proposal by the railroaas.
The railroads, which have Insisted
upon arbitration by a board of seven
men similar to that which decided the
dispute with the engineers last year.
while the firemen demanded arbitration
under the Erdman act, now propose ar
bitration by a board of six members,
two representatives of the roads, two of
the firemen and two disinterested mem
bers, to be appointed as the Erdman
act provides. The roads offer also to
retain In the arbitration proceedings all
other features of the Erdman act which
the firemen may desire.
The railroads' proposition was sub
mitted Immediately to the Federal offi
cials who have been trying to bring the
nartles together and at once placed by
the mediators before the representatives
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive l ire-
men and Englnemen.
When a break seemed almost Inevita
ble and the firemen made it known that
they had a strike order In readiness
and Intimated they would wait no
longer than midnight for tne roaas to
make some concessions. President
Brown, of the New York Central, sent
out a hurried call to such presidents
of tlie other affected roads as could be
reached. When the presidents adjourned
tonight they said they would not take
the matter out of the managers' hands,
hut would be satisfied with whatever
disposition they should make of the
question.

portion of South America which lies
between Patlponla and Brazil emerged
from the ocean, as well as a large
portion of the ocean bed lying west
ward of Tula and Including portions
of the geographical divisions now
known as China. India and Arabia.
Where a depression occurs In one part
of the globe a corresponding bulge
must take place elsewhere.
Eden, the Biblical garden, was lo
cated In Tula, and having sank with
it has never been discovered by scrip
tural literallsts and archeologtsts, who
have been continually searching for It.
Prosecutions in quest of the Lost Is
lands have been made of late years
over a large area of the northern por
tion of this sunken continent. North
America was known as "ultima thule"
in the antediluvian epoch and to It
many people fled In consequence of the
very seasonable warning given to
Xoah. in anticipation of the deluge, the
trade winds blowing In that direction
facilitating their passage by sea
marine vessels as well as airships,
which were then in use.
The time of the deluge Is computed
to have occurred about 8205 years from
the creation of Adam (not from the
creation of the earth, whose prepara
tion for the occupation of man required
Incomputable ages to accomplish). The
ancients did not reckon their chro
nology after the modern fashion. Even
before lunar time was in vogue they
counted by dynasties. They counted
the years of Adam's life of 930 years
as the duration of his reign, when at
the termination of his dynasty the
house of Seth (descended from Seth the
Appointed, Genesis, 4::), governed for
913 years. Adding these years (1842),
and Noah's together up to the time he
built the ark, the sum total will give
the date of the beginning of this his
tory. For years Tula had been agitated
with dissension, conflict and barbarous
war. At this time It was deluged with
violence and steeped with human blood.
The divine In the human nature had
vanished. Greed of gain had devoured
the substance of the masses until pov
erty and desolation transformed the
creatures formerly actuated by the di
vinely unplanted principle of love to
God and man into beings filled with
hate and thirsting with revenge on
their oppressors. The image of God,
their, inheritance by creation, was
literated by the presence and preva
lence of evil. Even the Imaginations
of their hearts were only evil, and that
continually. Famine induced pestil
ence and the fair land of Tula was
filled with violence.
Mighty Comet Precursor of Flood.
At this time the pole star appeared
in the westward In 27 degrees. Jupi
ter, like a blazing world, was nearing
the western horizon, followed by the
ancient Sickle, with Scorpio pursued
by Sagittarius with his deadly arm.
Right over the land hung a mighty
comet, of tremendous magnitude and In
tense brilliancy, and In startling prox
imity to the earth. Its deadly pres
ence had been foretold as the precur
sor of the sinking of the world unless
the people repented of their crimes.
Preacher Arnoek (Noah), the nation's
chief executive, reissued his proclama
tlon for cessation of hostilities, for the
restoration of peace; declared the
usurping anarchists disfranchised; con
