There were 41 births In this county last month and 25 deaths reported to County Physician Van Winkle. Among the new arrivals the males exceeded the females by 10, as there were 27 out of the 41 who will be called "sonny." Twenty-three of these hoys were born in this city, where the birth of eleven tetanies was reported. The mortality rate was much higher among the males in this city last month than among the females, thero being 13 deaths among the former and five among tho later. The marriage market suffered a slump, however, as thore were but 17 licenses issued last month, less than half .the usual number.

WAY CONDUCTS' EXAMINATION OF PRIVATE PROSECUTOR Veracity of Plaintiff and Defendant Chief Point at Issue in Alleged Illegal Selling of Liquor. Way was arrested last night by Officers Fisher and Woolery fo'r the alleged offense of selling liquor to one (ieorge Sheets, who is said to bo a leading Marion county farmer. Sheets was found staggering about the streets last night by J. II. Scott, He told Scott that ,he had been drugged and that he could identify a man in tue Shafer & Keeton pool hall who sola him some whiskev for a dollar. Scott accompanied Sheets to tho pool hull, where the latter pointed out a man whom he said sold the booze to him Scott then called up the officers and ay was arrested. Couldn't Identify Positively. This morning, Way pleaded not guil ty to tho charge, which was selling liquor without a license, and his hear ing commenced. Sheets, the sole wit lies to the actual transaction, testi tied that Way sold him a pint of booze for $1. He went ahead mid identified the pint bottle in wuich there was a half pint of liquor and told the court, iimler oath, that that was the samo bottle sold to him. But, upon bein-r ero s examined by the defendant, Way acting as his own counsel, Sheets was not positive that Way was the man who sold him the liquor. "Are you positive that I am the man from whom yon bought whiskey?" asked Way. "Well, I can't swear that you are the man, but I believe you are," respond ed Sheets. "You are under oath now, and .1 want you to say whether or not I am tho man that sold you or gave you any whiskey?" demanded Way.. " I believe you 're the man," asserted Sheets, but would not say further that the defendant was actually the person who sold him the liquor. Way started to ask Sheets another question and, instead of the court prompting him as to the process of croossexamination, the city attorney interfered and told Way he had no right to ask the question just pro- f1' Wa? lhe" saul h9 was through. Councilman Testifies. Councilman Cummings then took the stand and told how he had seen Way brought to tho station, and how he saw other tilings none of which had an bearing on the case. Scott, the man who found Sheets ou the street, testified that he accom panied the prosecuting witness to the pool room and that Sheets there pointed out Way as the man who sold him the booze.

On top of this howcer it held that there was no ground for action for damages for the reason that Mrs. Smith had invited Edling to make the search. About all of the transaction of which the public is left in doubt is as to the connection, if any, between tint ccirt beef at the picnic and the cattle brand ed J.

GENERALS VILLA AND CARRANZA BOTH IS HOPEFUL FOB A SPEE0Y H HUERTA CABINET TO FLEE PLANNING TO LEAVE CAPITAL. Rabies Prepared to Wreck Whatever Railroad Dictator Attempts to Get Away Ou Danger of Treachery, By William G. Shepherd. Vera Cruz, Mex., Juno 9. That Pres ident Huortu, War Minister Blnnquet and the other remaining members of the badly disorganized Mexico City cab inet were considering coming to Vera Cruz for the windup of the American Mexican negotiations, was learned hero today. That is to say, businoss connetccd wit n tno mediation negotiations was given as the ostensible purposo of the trip. It was known that, in point of actual fact, Huerta has realized for some time that his family was not safe in the capital but could devise no means of gotting it out. So far as the family was concerned it was thought here that the mediation excuse might serve. Whether it would avail Huerta himself was considered more doubtful. Tho dictator was un derstood to have definite information that the rebels were prepared to wreck whatever railroad he undertook to leave by. Attempt Worth Risk. Nevertheless the general view was that the attempt would be worth the risk, since if tho dictator should still be in Mexico City when it falls into the rebels' hands, it was" deemed cer tain that he would not stand a single chance for his lifo, and that the rebels would tako it soon was agreed on all hands to be a foregono conclusion. There was, of course, the possibility that Huerta might get out of the cap ital Becretly, hut it was felt that there was also great danger of treachery on the part of some of his attendants. Authentic reports were in circula tion to the effect that War Minister Blanquet would come to Vera Cruz first accompanied by the Brazilian minister in Mexico City, to confer with Gen eral Funston concerning his chief's re ception. A rumor was even curront that Blan quet had already reached the American lines, but it wholly lacked confirma tion. FOUR DIE WHEN AUTO PLUNGES OVER BANK Goldfield, New, June 9.

Washington Administration Does Not Plan to Interfere With Landing of Arms Carried by the Antilla. Washington, Juno 9. "All I care to sav is that the situation is most hope ful," responded Secretary of State Bryan today to tho newspaper corre spondents' questions concerning Mexl can developments. The announcement followed a con feroneo between President Wilson, Sec retary Bryan and John Liud. That the secretary did not think ho wns exag gerating was evident from his ex pression and manner. His tono could not have been more optimistic. Envoys Expected to Be Named. Despite his declaration that ho would not go beyond the original dozen words of his reply to his interrogators, ho admited that ho expected Gonornl Car ranza to nnuio envoys to the Niugara Falls conference ami was confident tl'e mediators would rcceivo them on Car ranza's terms, which provided for par ticipation in the peaco negotiations but not for an armistice while the negotia tions were pending. The secretary stated, too, that no or ders had been issued relutivc to the Ward liner Antilla, which, flying the Cuban flag, is on its way from New iork to Tninpico with a enrgo of arms. May Not Interfere. From other sources it was learned that tho Washington administration does not plan to interfere with the bind ing of the arms, considering that they arc no longer a danger, Carrnnzn hav ing been included practically in the mt iliation negotiations. The matter was discussed by the cab inet this forenoon. Secretary of War Garrison reported that sickness was ii.croasing among tho soldiers at Vera Cruz, but other mem bers of the cabinet expressed the hope that the troops would soon bo with drawn. In official circles ignornnce was pro fessed of reports that President Huer ta was planning to tako refugo within the American lines, but It was admitted that, should ho do so, ho would be pro tected. REPLY ON WAY. By Fred S. Ferguson. Niagara Falls, Out., Juno J). Freder ick Lehmanu, one of tho American en voys at the "A. B. C. " peace nego tiations in progress here, received word today that General Carranza's reply to the mediators' invitation to the Mexican rebels to send representatives to tho conference was on tho road to Niagara Falls. It was expected to reach here to morrow. It had been planned to make public the correspondence between tho mediat ors and General Carranza but today it was announced that tne mediators thought best to withhold it. This de cision followed a conversation between Lehmann and Brazilian Ambassador Da Gama of the mediation board. It was known today that the Mex ican pacification plan submitted by tho American envoys to the mediators Monday contemplated the establish ment of a provisional Mexican govern ment consisting of a president and four cabinet members to share the respon sibility of office equally. In this group substantial represen tation was accorded to the constitution alists. It was even suggested that th W foreign ministry be given to General Carranza, which would permit him to run for president later. QUARRELS WITH DANCE HALL GIRL; SUICIDES San Francisco, June 9. Harry Trcs cott, aged 34, calmly stood before a i mirror in his room here today and sev ered the arteries of his wrists with a razor. Leslie Saxton, his room mate, awoke as Prescott was sinking to the floor. I'rescott died a few minutes aft er his arrival at a hospital. I'rescott told friends here that he formerly lived in Australia, but letters found in his pocket indicated that he was a son of the president of the First National Bank of Philadelphia. Sex ton told the police that Prescott quar reled yesterday with a girl in a dance hall. This was the only motive he could furnish for the suicide. The Salem school hoard met in spe cial session at the high school last night and considered the applications now on file for positions as teachers in the erado school. Outside of these matters there was nothing taken up any importance. OF THE PROBLEM DRAFTING OF PROTOCOL MAY BEGIN WEDNESDAY Bryan Says "Differences" Between American and Mexican Propositions Are "Not Insurmountable." By John Edwin Nevin. Washington, June 9. General Car rnn7ii s reply to t':c "A. H inn diu'ors' invitation to him to send rep rest ntatives to tho Amoriean-Moxiea l negotiations was expected hero today to go to Niagara Falls before night. Members of the constitutionalists' Washington junta admitted tiin'. it con sisted of an acceptance of the :.;iuost to ,)oiu in tho conference "on Carran za's own terms." At Niagara Falls evorythiug wns ready for tho drafting of a protocol. It was believed tho actual work of drafting it would begin tomorrow. Ac cording to Secretary of Statu Bryan tho differences botwoon the American and Mexican propositions woro "not insurmountable." Assuming that tho Washington and Mexico City envoys agreed it was said an international peace and internal pa cification agreoment could be put through even without tho robels' en dorsement. , Neutral Government Is Plan. It wns known that the plan wns to set up a neutral government in Mexico City to inaungo Mexico's affairs until n regular national election enn no held. Immediately following President Huor ta's retirement, it was said, tho C lilted States nnil all South and Central Am erica would recognize this provisional government nnd that money would bo loaned to it to moot pressing obliga tions. I'oth in Washington official and dip lomatic circles it was thought this would make the new administration strong enough to onforco domestic pence even against Carranza s opposi tion. That there would be opposition from him, however, was considered unlikely, adequate representation of the consti tutionalists in the provisional govern ment being assured. President Wilson and his cabinet ex pected to discuss today tho cause of the Ward liner Antilla, now on its way from New York to Tampico with war munitions for the robels. It was thought possible arrangements would bo madn for bringing tho ship back without unloading. General Carranza, it was known, plans to issuo an appeal to all Mexi cans, outlining his plans relative to taxation and land distribution. BASEBALL TODAY. National. B. n. E.

RECONSTRUCTION OF PEACE OB MR VILLA EXPRESSES WRATH CARRANZA LOSES HIS PRESTIGE General Calzado Proves a Railroad Con struction Wizard in Getting Lines Re pairedOpen Break Is Averted. El Taso, Texas, Juno 9 Trouble over tho management of railroads of north ern Mexico wns said here today to be threatening aM early break between Generals Carranza and Villa. The two men's differences of opin ion relutive to the- railroads wore not the onlv ones they have had, accord ing to all accounts, but those in touch with tho situntlon were authority for tho statement that they woro bitterer than any which preceded them and cer tainly meant au open quarrel as soon as Villa thought he would not be jeop ardizing Mexico's interests! by assert ing himself. Calzado a Wizard. When tho northern Mexican rail roads began falling into the rebels' hnniks, Villa appointed General Cal zado general manager of the systems in the states of Chihuahua, Durango, Xncateeas and Coahuila. The lines had all been torn up in places aud frightful conditions of disorgnnization prevailed. Calzado proved a wizard a making re pairs and getting trams running. Hoeently ho commandeered several hundred tons of coal in Coahuila to fa cilitate the movement of troop trains. General Carranza promptly counter manded this order on the ground that Calzado hail the seizure, In Villa's name and without asking Carranza's per mission. Moro than this, the constitu tionalist leader demanded Calzado ' resignation aud was obdurate when Villa tried to intervene. Calzado accordingly telegraphed his resignation Sunday night from Chi huahua City to SnltUlo. Villa Reported Furious. Villa, it was said, was furious, and freely expressed his contempt for a commander who interfered in petty af fairs and risked antagonizing his most capnblo lieutenants at such a time. He refused, however, to let matters come to an open break while the constitu tionalist cause hung in the balnnce. On this side of the border his fore- bearanco under recent annoyances has gained much approval, while Carranza has lost prestige correspondingly. Villa telegraphed from Torrcon last night to Calzado to join him at the front, and the latter, complying, left Chihuahua City for the south.
