ATHENS, April 4 —“Art,” Miss Jen
nie Smith likes to explain to the girls
of the Lucy Cobb cldss in painting
and sketching, “is truth and life.”
And so it is that many of the col
lege girls, and now and then a hand
some young athlete or a “natty dress
er” from the University of Ceorgla,
have become artists’ models, The am
bitious maidens who have elected
the course in art are not obliged to
work their souls and their inspirations
into a despairing frét by copying, day
after day, from sucn still subjects as
bowls of fruit, or branches of flowers,
or plaster hands and feet. Miss Smith
believes that art is life.
It is rather a unique departure from
the general ipstruction in art, this pol
icy of using living models. It is rath
er unique, too, that the models are not
always clad in flowing classic robes,
like the conventional models, but a
great many times wear modish gowns,
Poirets, minarets, rutfled skirts, and
all that. And the young men who
come over from the university do not
pose as Roman gladiators or decollete
mythological beings, but wear their
baseball uniforms and their football
togs, or their own proper college rai
ment with turned-up trousers and
tiny caps.
About 25 girls are enrolled in Miss
Smith's life class, and they are ac
counted the most faithful workers in
Lucy Cobb College.

Property of Six Hundred To Be
Confiscated—Expelled Persons
. Angry but Powerless.
TORREON, April 5. — General
Francigco Villa has ordered that the
600 Spaniards of this city be de
ported. He issued instructions that
trains be provided immediately and
that the exodus to El Paso, Texas,
should begin at once. Their proper
ty wil! he confiscated temporarily, at
least.
It is the tragedy of Chihuahua over
again, and is said to express the deep
rooted suspicion and even hatred with
which the native Mexican, and par
ticularly the peon, looks on the Span
iard.
Villa Against the Dons.
Villa expelled the Dons from Chi
huahua four months ago, and since
then repeatedly has said other Span
jards must get out of Mexico. His
abiding conviction that they were
working as one man against the rev
olution found frequent expression
while he was in Juarez. when he as
serted he would execute every one
that he found in Torreon.
The Spanish Government was
aroused, and Washington descended
cn the Constitutionalist chiefs with
words of warning and admonition.
Villa promised that Spaniards inno
cent of political activity should net be
harmed. This was ofticial, but in
talking with reporters and friends it.
was said his ‘temper frequently be
trayed him into the most tragic
threats. Some of those constantly as
sceiated with the rebel leader said he
¢id not expect to fird many Spaniards
who would deserve his clemency
Gui'ty Until Proved Innccent.
Their expulsion, it is said, is taken
te indicate that all are to be held
guilty until innocence is proved. Villa
promised he would investigate closely
the conduct of each’ Spaniard and
that in due course those found to
have lent no aid to the enemy would
be allowed to remain.
To establish their innocence, while
not represented before the investiga
tors, with their cases in the hands of
a hostile court and themselves in 2
fcreign land, it is said, will be an ai
most hopeless task.
The order was received in tragic si
lence, followed by passionate out
bursts of pleading and lament, say
persons who were present. All as
gerted that they had remained neu
tral so far as they could, but with the
military government in the hands of
the Federals, they were compelled at
times to render such aid as was de
manded—the use of houses and cor
rals, for instance, and the forced con
tributien of money and food.
Death cr Imprisonment.
o have refused, they said, would
have meant death or at least impris
orment, but Villa said he was in
clined to believe there was little re
luctance in the aid ang cymfort they
extended to his enemies. He is said to
resent the fact that they did not leave
the city when he announced that it
would be well for them to do so.

.
And 35 Hurt in Wreck
ATTICA, IND., April b6.—Three
persons were killed and about 35 oth
ers injured, some seriously, when
Wabash passenger train No. 4, known
as the Continental Limited, was

day coach, which was crowded, fell
with the rear end out of the water,
and, though most of the injured were
in this car, none was killed. The car
hardly had settled in the water be
fore the work of rescuing the passen
gers was commenced, and in a few
minutes all had been taken out. They
were taken to a hospital at Lafayette,
The bridge was weakened early to
day when a freight train was wrecked
cn the structure, and the Continental
Limited was stopped when it reached
the place. A switch engine was sent
across to test the bridge. Railroad
officials believed it safe, and the Lim
ited was ordered to proceed,
The train crept out on the bridge
slowly, and when about 100 feet out
the bridge gave way. The engineer
was crushed to death. The fireman
jumped, but was scalded to death,
and when the front end of the bag
gage car toppled downward, Thomas
was crushed beneath an avalanche of
trunks.
