KING GUARDED FROM diplomats call on
SECRETARY OF STATE
HUERTA'S MEN DEFEATEO
BY CARRANZA'S REBELS
Extra Precautions Taken in
London to Prevent Suffra
gettes Interfering With the
Ceremonies by King George
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, March 10.—King George to
day opened the third session of the pres
ent parliament, after a recess of only
two days, the briefest recess oh record.
The ceremony was performed in the
house of p§ers. The king and queen
took their places on the throne while
a throng looked on.
In connection with the opening oT
the new session of the British parlia
ment by King George this afternoon,
elaborate precautions were taken to
prevent any interference by militant
suffragettes Or their male supporters.
The time-honored ceremony known
as "searching the vaults” beneath the
house of commons and the house of
lords which has been carried out since
the* attempt by Guy Fawkes in 1605
to blow up the king and parliament,
but which in later years lias been per
formed in a most perfunctory manner,
was again undertaken seriously this
morning.
A party of yeomen of the guard from
Ihe Tower of London, better known
as the "beef-eaters,” went carefully
through the buildings, accompanied by
one of the chief officials of parliament
and by inspectors of police and other
high functionaries. All of these made a
thorough search for any lurking suf
fragettes.
The greatest care was taken in issuing
tickets to ladies for the actual cere
mony of the opening. Threats had
been made to create a scene when the
king arrived to read his speech from
the throne.
The lord great chamberlain, who is
sued tlie invitations, sent with each a
note stating that it was to be dis
tinctly understood that the recipient
of the ticket of admission accepted the
fullest responsibility for the lady or
gentleman presenting it and that the
name must be written on it.
The opening was preceded by the usual
procession from Buckingham palace to
Westminster hall, the center of the bril
liant picture being the great gilded
glass coach drawn by the famous Han
overian cream-colored horses, whose
Sole duty is to participate in these page
ants.
A drizzling rain fell throughout the
day but this had no effect upon the tens
of thousands of sightseers.
The kirig’s speech from the throne
was devoted chiefly to the Balkan war,
expressing the earnest desire of the Eu
ropean powers to hasten the conclusion
of peace.
His majesty opened with a reference
to the jubilee of the marriage of his pa
rents, King Edward VII and Queen
Alexandria. He expressed gratitude for
the affection shown by the nation to
the widowed queen mother, Alexandria.
THE BALKAN WAR.
Referring to the Balkan war the king

After a Thirty-Six Hour Battle
Huerta Troops Abandon
Nacozari •
(By Associated Press.)
DOUGLAS, Ariz., March 10.—After
a battle lasting from Saturday morning
until yesterday afternoon, 800 state
troops today hold Nacozari. The 250
Huerta soldiers defending the town are
retreating to Agua Prieta. This news
was received here today when communi
cation was restored below this point.
The capture of Nacozari opens the
road, it is believed, to Agua Prieta, and
if the latter town is taken the insur
gent state troops can march wastward,
along the border, encountering only
small garrisons at Nogales, Naco and
other small towns.
At none of the ports on the Sonora-
Arizona border are there more than 300
federal troops. All the Huerta soldiers
in northern Sonora do not exceed 1,000
men, it was said today on sound author
ity, while the state government in its
revolt against the provisional president
within a few days has raised an army of
nearly 10,000, -according to reports from
various state leaders.
At Nacozari are the hundred men un
der Prefect Bracamonte, of Me ntezuma.
There were only 250 federal troops de
fending Nacozari Saturday, and similar
ly small garrisons defend Agua Prieta,
Nogales and Naco. A strong rebel
group from Magedelna, below Nogales;
is reported moving toward the border
to assist in atacking ports of entry.
COMMUNICATION CUT,
Communication remains cut with
Hermosillo, the state capital held by the
insurgents, and even with American
mining se'tilements near the border.
There is some anxiety for American
mining men at Nacozari and at Canaea
on patt of the Southern Pacific of Mex
ico. which road also has been cut by
state troops.
Added proof of the capture of Naco
zari, the first victory for the insurgent
Sonora troops, came with the arrival at
Agua Prieta of a special train bearing
125 defeated federals. Lieutenant Col-
been shot through the neck and Was in
been shot through t he neck and was in
a critical condition. Twenty soldiers
were wounded.
No Americans were hurt, except J. S.
Williams, Jr., a mining man, who was
wounded Saturday. The federals ad
mitted that Nacozari was in control of
the constitutionalists.
Battle at Lampazos Expected
When Army Gets There
(By Associated Press.)
MEXICO CITY, March 10.—JVicente
Segura, a retired millionaire matador,
who several months ago purchased a
supply of arms and ammunition at New
Orleans to aid the revolt started by
Felix Diaz at Vera Cruz, has turned
over the bill of lading- for these supplies
to the Mexican government, which will
have them delivered to the federal army
fighting against the rebels in the north
ern states.
Five hundred followers of Venustiano
Carranza today threatened the town of
Lampazos in Nuveo Leon. Lampazos.
located seventy-five miles southwest of
Laredo, Tex., is one of the most impor
tant towns in the state.
As soon as the news reached here,
General Jose Maria Mier, was ordered
to take 600 federal troops from Monterey
(100 miles away), and try to prevent
the rebels entering the town.
No reports have reached the federal
capital during the past twelve hours
as to Carranza’s wTie r eabouts but he is
believed to be still near Bajan, where he
retired after his defeat near Reata.
According to officials here the new ad
ministration found the federal army
numbering. less than 35,000 men, al
though President Madero repeatedly de
clared it contained over 50,000. The
ranks are being filled from rebels who
have surrendered and from recruits.

alleged “firebug," made a complete and
detailed confession to Assistant State’s
Attorney oJhnston in South Bend, Ind„
yesterday, implicating thirty-five mem
bers of the alleged “arson trust.” An
nouncement of the confession was made
today by Mr. Johnston.
Fink is known under the aliases of

No Wines or Liquors
In White House For
Period of Four Years
English Advocates for Equal
Rights Burn Saunderton
Depot
(By Associated Press.)
LONDON, March 10.—Militant suffra
gettes today started another campaign
of arson. Early this morning they set
fire to the Saunderton station of the
Great Western railway and burned it
to the ground. Saunderton is about
thirty-one miles from London.
Two placards were found in the vi
cinity, on which were painted the
words, “Burning to get the vote,” and
“Votes for women.”
Another station, Croxley Green, about
three miles from London on the Lon
don and Northwestern, also was burned
down this morning, but the cause of
the fire has not been ascertained.
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, March 10.—The Wil
son administration will be “dry.” Tins
expression is used entirely in a sense
that appeals to the inner man of the
nation and not necessarily to those who
look for stereotyped methods of gov
ernment. It became known that Pres
ident Wilson and his family are averse
to the use of liquor or wine in any
form. Intoxicating liquors will have
no place in the white house during
the next four years, unless the presi
dent’s views undergo a sharp change.
Secretary of State Bryan, as is well
known, has been a prohibition advo
cate for many years. On one occa
sion Mr. Bryan would have made it
a national issue and it was due to his
efforts that the prohibition legislation
in Nebraska was put into effect.
It is well known that Speaker Clark
is a teetotler and has been for many
years. The fact that a large portion
of the Democratic majority in the sen
ate and house is from the south, where
prohibition is general, makes certain
the fact that there will be little wine
and less /wassail than has been known
in Washington for many years.
There never has been so dry a pros
pect in the white house since the days
of President Hays, when Mrs. Hayes
excluded wines and liquors from the
executive mansion immediately upon
becoming its mistress. \

E TO HIS CALLERS
Must Be Undisturbed by Vis
itors Between 9 and 11
o'clock
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, March 10.—After four
strenuous days iii which his conferences
with Democratic leaders frequently were
interrupted by handshakers, President
Wilson today decided that hereafter he
will make appointments only after 11
o’clock in the morning or for the east
room in the afternoon.
He plans to come to the executive
office about 9 a. m. and first devote two
full uninterrupted hours to correspond
ence and other Important business of
the day. j
Members of his cabinet and persons
for whom he sends, will not be subject
to the new rule but all others will. Qn
cabinet days the president will see his
visitors before 11 o’clock, the hour of
meeting. The president’s list today was
long enough to keep him busy.
Postmaster General Burleson reported
at the executive offices today just a few
minutes after the president walked over
from the White House.
Late today in the east room the mem
bers of the diplomatic corps were to
be presented formally to the president
and on Wednesday the diplomats and
their wives will meet Mrs. Wilson.
Tonight at 9 o’clock the president will
press a button in the White House which
will open a stock breeders’ convention
at Fort Worth, Tex.
Secretary Garrison, after a talk early
with the president, declared Mr. Wilson
agreed with him that the pesonnel of
the department ought not to be disturbed
for several weeks at least.
PATRONAGE RULE.
President Wilson’s rule about dis
cussing patronage with his visitors does
not apply to members of congress. It
was pointed out at the White House that
the president intended his announce
ment that office-seekers should address
themselves to heads of departments
should not be interpreted as including
senators and representatives, to whom
the president hopes to be accessible at
all times and on all subjects.
Mr. Wilson Intends to consult with
cabinet members about the recommenda
tion of members of congress and vice
versa. The whole purpose is to divert
the stream of applicants and their
friends from the White House to the
government departments so that the
field of choice may be gradually re
duced before he takes up the question
of appointments.
When the' president was governor of
New Jersey he always gave precedence
to members of the legislature and when
that body was in session he would al
ways keep his door open to the legislat
ors to come and go unannounced.

Test Before Government ,
Surgeons Sunday

NEW YORK, March 10.—After tests
yesterday with his tuberculosis vaccine
before physicians representing the
federal governmnet, Dr. F. F. Fried

illi culture and* that Clinical observa
tions would continue to be made by
tl^em.
Gathered at Mount Sinai hospital,

benefit the patients were treated.
These last were Surgeon F. F. Ander
son, chairman of the board authorized
by Surgeon General Blue, of the fed
eral public health service, and Passed
Assistant Surgeon A. M. Stimson.
The inoculation followed a lengthy
consultation between Dr. Friedmann
and the government surgeons, and more
than an "hour of study of the history
of the prospective patients. The seven
persons to be treated, all adults, were
brought in from various wards of the
hospitals where they were patients and
one by one given injections of the vac
cine. Two of them were suffering with
pulmonary tuberculosis and the others
respectively with tuberculosis of the
knee, the elbow, the ribs, the urinary
tract and the kidneys. Each gave spe
cifically his consent to thb inoculation.
Observers at the clinic said that Dr.
Friedmann had remained free from
nervousness throughout, and that the
work of inoculation had progressed
smoothly. The instruments used were
furnished by the hospital.

Atlanta Lawyer Arrested at
Miami Declares He Knows
Nothing of Alleged Swindle
Judge J. N. Bateman, who is under
arrest in Miami, Fla,, on a warrant in
which Frank Routhleuter, of Kilgore,
Neb., is prosecutor, denies that he has
been connected in anywise with a pool
room or any scheme for betting upon
the horse races.
Rothleuter, the prosecutor, alleges
that he was swindled of $9,000 in a fake
pool room on Whitehall street two
blocks from Alabama; and, detectives
have endeavored to connect this alleged
place with some third-story room rent
ed by Judge Bateman..
Judge Bateman’s wife was with him
at the time of his arrest at Palm eBach,
and accompanied him tb Miami. The
magistrate before whom he appeared
is treating Judge Bateman as his guest,
and is assuming responsibility for the
lawyer’s appearance in court on Tues
day.
In speaking of the warrant upon
which he was arrested, Judge Bateman
is quoted in a dispatch from Miami,
Monday, as having said:
"I am innocent of any charge made
directly or indirectly. I never did see
Brown, nor Blake, nor this man Roth
leuter, who claims to have been robbed.
I have been in Miami since January 8,
and until March 6, when I went to
Palm Beach.
“I never was in any pool room in
Miami or elsewhere that was used for
booking horses or any other gambling.
I don’t know anything about such
sports. I never heard of Maybray or
his gang. I was in the west only once,
,jn September, 1888. when in company
with John B. Goodwin, ex-mayor of
Atlanta, I went to California.
“This charge came to me like a bolt
of lightning out of a clear sky. I do
not know anything about it. I under
stand it is stated that ^ have a room
rented on the third floor of a building
on Whitehall street, in Atlanta, used
for gambling purposes. This is an in
famous lie. My wife, her sister, and her
brother, own number 71 Whitehall
street, ' a three-story buifding. Black
Brothers have the third story rented,
and they sublet it to some one who
runs a newspaper or magazine of some
sort. We have no other three-story
building, and it cannot be shown that
I am the lessee of any-other than this
one on Whitehall street. I expect to
prove myself innocent of any charge
that has been or may be made.”
Wilson Worships in Half Filled
. Church as Crowds
Wait Elsewhere j I
— ; -P.
(By Associated Press.) ’
WASHINGTON, March 10.—President)
Wilson made a quick shift in his plans
for church going yesterday, much to'
the disappointment oi hundreds ofi
Washingtonians, but greatly to his own
satisfaction and that of Mrs. Wilson,
Instead-of’being the center of interest^
for a thousand curious eyes and the
focus for a clicking camera battery,
they worshiped in a half-filled church!
in a quiet part of the city while the
crowd which expected to see them corns
arid go a mile away wondered how it
had all happened.
Announcements in local newspapers
that the president would occupy the
Lincoln pew In tire New York Avenue
Presbyterian church .br<M*fht out a)
crowd of curious persons Who filled that
broad thoroughfare from curb to curb
for A block and - a half, put a damper
on what traffic was running and caused
the prompt dispatch of ten policemen,'
to keep a pathway clear for the ex
pected guests. *
Long before 11 o’clock, the hour set
for the beginning of the service, the
ushers had to announce that all seats
had been taken and the more persist
ent who wished to enter had to be con
tent with standing room on the slde-l
walk. Many of them waited until
noon before they were convinced that,
the president was not coming and even
then left reluctantly and with many
hopeful glances toward the white house. 1
The few faithful who* remained after
the service had an opportunity to see 1
the vice-president, and Mrs. Marshall
returning from 'the New York avenue
church to their hotel.
The president, Mrs. Wilson and Miss
Eleanor worshipped at the Central
Presbyterian church. Third ‘and First*
streets, northwest, fully a mile away
from the New York avenue edifice;
They started shortly before 11 o'clock
in !a white house car for New York
avenue, but one glimpse of the crowd,
made the president change his mind.
A word to the chauffeur, a quick turn,
and they were out of sight down a side
street and on their way to another* ■
church.
