onel Garza Named.
CONVENTION TAKES CONTROL
Martial Law Is Promptly De
dared in Capital.
ORDER MAY BE TEMPORARY
Predecessor Said to Hare Declined
to' Accept Conditions Imposed
on Hint and to Have Begun
Evacuation of City.
WASHINGTON'. Jan. 17. Colonel
I ttoque Gonzales Garza, one of General
Villa's principal officers, is today the
executive head of that portion of "Mex
ican territory controlled by the villa
ZaData forces.
iHrirH in this effect reached the
State Department from American Con-
sul Bllllman. Details of the term of
office which Garza will servo were
lacking tonight, but the general belief
In Mexican circles here was that he had
been appointed temporarily to meet an
emergency created by the sudden de
parture of General Gutierrez and mem
bers of his cabinet from Mexico City.
Selection Believed Temporary.
The belief was expresed in many
quarters that the convention In session
In Mexico City, over which Garza has
been presiding, designated him to ex
ercise the executive power until a com
plete agreement can be secured with all
elements on the man who is to fill the
unexpired terms of Presidents Diaz and
Madero. which would end on December
21 this year.
General Filipe Angeles and Dr. Mi
guel Silva. former Governor of Mlcho
acan. are looked upon as the most
prominent candidates for the office,
which Is to be known as "pre-constitu-tional
president." the successor to be
elected for the full constitutional term
of six years.
Convention' 'Conditions Refuse.
The reasons for the departure of
Gutierrez are unknown here, but the
belief prevails that he declined to be
continued in office under the restric
tions suggested by the Zapatistas
Under these articles two-thirds of the
convention could remove the Pro
visional President; he could take no
action of importance without the con
sent of bis Cabinet and the convention.
being designated as the supreme ex
pcutlve and ludlcial body, was to be
consulted on all Issues of major Inter
est.
A copy of a statement Issued by
Garza throws some light on the clr
cumstances under which he took com
mand of the situation. In this Garza
announced that Gutierrez had Issued
orders for a large part of the govern
ment forces to evacuate the capital. In
view of the fact that this would leave
the city without any authority, Garza
said he had assumed chief command
and was depending upon the troops of
the north and the Zapatistas for de
fense, all of whom, he added, were
under the orders of the convention.
Martial Law Declared.
He announced his Intention of estab
lishlng martial law and threatened
summary execution to any disturbers
of the peace. According to the Garza
statement. Gutierrez and some of his
Cabinet officers left Mexico City Friday
night.
The belief in official quarters was
that Garza, as chairman of the con
ventlon. called an extraordinary ses
sion, which ratified his assumption of
power.

IX FLIGHT
Assassination by Zapatistas Said to
Have Been Feared.
EL. PASO, Tex., Jan. 17. General
Kulalio Gutierrez, deposed as pro
visional president of Mexico by the
convention, which last night named
General Koque Gonzales Garza as his
successor, fled from the capital early
today with several members of his
Cabinet to escape assaslnation at the
hands of Zapatistas, according to re
ports received here tonight. No rea
son for the sudden change of execu
tives Is given. General Villa, with all
the troops at his Immediate disposal
Is reported hurrying to the capital from
Aguas Callentes.
Gutierrez had been reinstalled last
week on certain conditions among
which were one that if be moved his
official residence he automatically
would become impeached.
In semi-official quarters tonight it
was predicted that General Felipe
Angeles or General Francisco Villa
would become 'the next provisional
president. Angeles, an ex-federal
artillery officer, is Villa's chief of
artillery. He recently occupied Mon
terey and was reported tonight hastily
returning to Mexico City.
It was said also that Villa and
Angeles have decided to oppose the
Zapata faction, which was represented
in the original convention of military
chiefs at Aguas Callentes and later at
Mexico City after the Villa breach with
the Ca'rransa faction. The Zapata
element is said to have assumed a
belligerent attitude toward both the
Villa and Carranza forces.

visional presidents and Villa's hasty

SPOONING IS FATAL,
MEN ARE ADVISED
TRAGEDIES RESULT, SAYS 1EO
TTREK AT Tl. M. C. A.
Practice Is Declared. Violation of
Chivalry and Dancing Is
Alsg Criticised.
'Spooning is a violation of the finest
principles of chivalry. It is the break
ing down of the only protection af
forded to a woman her modesty and
reserve. It is the first step In the
thousands of tragedies that occur
through this apparently legitimate
amusement in cur school and college
life."
In this way, Mr. Max Exner, first
American physical director in China
and a member of the international
committeee, warned men at the T. M.
C. A. yesterday in his lecture on "Rational-
Life."
"No man can afford to trifle with his
mental and moral life by falling into
the spooning habit." continued Dr.
Exner. "There is no temptation more
fatal. It lowers' the finest sentiments
to the lowest sensuous depths."
Dr. Exner spoke of the dance, insist
ing that It is legitimate only when
properly conducted. He denounced
alcohol and cheap shows as mentally
and Dhvsically degrading.
Ha spoke of exercise as an aid in
the battle of self control.

The refugees report, the correspond

ITALXT0- FOLLOW
ROUMANIA IN WAR
NATIONS PLAN TO ENTER
OX SIDE OF ALLIES.
Blow Deferred Only Tntll Troops
Can Be Put in Best Possible
Condition for Conflict.
(Special r-aMe to the New York World.
CoprIght, 1014. by the Press Publishing
Company. Published by Arrangemeut
With the World.)
LONDON, Jan. 12. There Is at
present every likelihood that Italy and
Roumania will enter the war on, the
side of the allies before the end of
February. For political reasons which
cannot be fully explained at present
Roumania will strike first, but Italy's
Intervention will follow so closely upon
her Balkan ally's action that the entry
of the two powers Into the conflict will
be practically simultaneous.
The real object of the visit to Rome
of a special envoy of Roumania, is to
draw up the final plans for the move
by the two countries.
The World correspondent learns,
through diplomatic! channels here, that
the Government at Bucharest Is em
barrassed considerably by the warlike
utterances of certain members of the
Roumanian Parliament now In Tarls.
These men belong to an ultra-Jingo
party, and their efforts to drag their
country Into the battle before she Is
ready have been a source of much an
noyance to the more conservative
statesmen In Roumania, who, under
the surface, are quite as determined
to declare war as their less discreet
compatriots in France.
The situation In both Italy and Rou
mania as regards mobilization Is
similar to the Kriegsgefahrzustand
(state of danger of war) that was de
clared In Germany before the soldiers
began actually to go to tho front. The
governments of both nations refuse to
be hurried In their deliberate prepa
ration to enter the arena in the pink
of condition.

Sunday's War Moves
W1
HIT.K the main Russian army has
been busy repelling what Grand
Duke Nicholas, In his official report,
describes as a series of violent attacks
by Field Marshal von Hlndenburg to
break his way through to Warsaw,
other Russian forces have stormed and
taken Kirlibaba Pass, on the borders
of Transylvania, and have made fur
ther progress in their advance along
the right bank of the Vistula toward
the German, frontier.
The Germans in force have delivered
several successful attacks, which de
veloped into desperate bayonet fight
ing, on the Russian lines on the left
bank of the Vistula and have suc
ceeded in taking one of the Russian
advance trenches.
Further south there have been, sim
ilar attacks, in each case preceded by
heavy artillery engagements. The Rus
sians have succeeded in silencing the
heavy Austrian guns, which from the
banks of the Dunajec have been bom
barding the Town of Tarnow.
The " capture of Kirlibaba Pass,
through which roads lead Into the
heart of Transylvania, Is likely to have
a political, as well as a military ef
fect. It possibly will hasten the action
of Roumania and will compel the
Germanic allies to send troops for the
defense of Eastern Hungary. With
the retirement of Count von Berchtold,
the former Austro-Hungarlan Minister
of Foreign Affairs, who is said to have
favored another expedition against
Servla, and because of the greater in
fluence of the Hungarians In the coun
cils of the empire by reason of the ap
pointment of Baron Stephan Burian at
the head of the foreign department,
the troops which were destined for
the Servian operations are likely to be
diverted to meet the new Russian
threat against Hungary.
In the west there has been some
brisk fighting at many points. The
French say they have made' further
progress along the coast of Flanders,
but not to the extent which they have
been credited with by unofficial re
ports. Attacks and counter-attacks
have also prevailed in the region of
Arras and in the Aisne Valley, south
of Laon, but apparently without either
side making any advance.
French progress, however, according
to their statement, continues east of
Rheims and In the Vosges, despite a
heavy snowstorm. Inthe Argonne tho
Germans say they have improved their
position.
An official German statement est!
mates the losses of the allies, since
they commenced their offensive, four
weeks ago,xat 150,000, including 20,000
killed and more than 17,000 prisoners.
An Interesting account from German
sources of the battle north of Solssons
says that the French defeat was the
result of a surprise attack. While
the French expected an attack on their
left, the Germans attacked on the
right and center and drove the French
completely out of positions north of
the Aisne, which It had taken them a
month to capture.
Earl Grey, ex-Governor-General of
Canada, In reviewing a brigade of the
Canadian contingent yesterday, told
them they would soon be sent to the

ROME. Jan. 17. A renewal of seis

add to the terror of the peoplo In parts
of the district that was visited by the
heavy earthquake lart Wednesday.
Although tho shocks were light,
buildings which had been cracked and
were totterinsr from the effoc'-s of the

some parts of tho district are ham

Is particularly true of Sors. where a
cold ruin fell Saturday night and to

In many of the towns which were
thrown down by the earthquake It Is
feared there are still Irving- persons
beneath tho debris and that unless
they are extricated soon, they will
perish.
