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.

Other wise he may be offered the ambassador ship to Germany. Frederic* C.

NAMES ADJUSTERS 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. SUFFRAGETTES BURN RAIL!

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. \ FIVE NAMES SENT TO SENATE BY PRESIDENT Wilson Nominates Alabamian Judge to Porto Rico—Post master Generals Named (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.

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.
