ALTAR AWAITS COUPLE IN WHITE HOUSE WEDDING so Claims Huerta's Men, Though ' Armed- With Cannon, Fled From Constitutionalists at Terra Blanca House Adjourns Over Bridal Day and Senate Will Quit Work Tuesday (By Associated Press.) EL PASO, Tex„, Nov. 24.—General Francisco Villa, commander of the con stitutionalist force, has returned to Juarez from the south with fifty men and reported that the federals after a brief battle fled from the constitution alists below Terra Blanca,. twenty-two miles south of Juarez. General Villa said his battle line ex tended for four miles at a point below Terra Blanca and that the federals were in retreat. Villa said a federal train came up in £he night, but that the fed- crals, when driven back, boarded their train again and left for the south. “They trned their cannon on us when we were several miles away,” said Fier ro. “We had no artillery, but kept moving toward them. Myf men were not mounted, but they did not hesitate a moment to go against the enemy, who outnumbered us greatly. Imagine our surprise when we got within a mile of the train to see the federals reload their artillery and back down the track.” Though Nearly Bankrupt Huerta Says He’ll Stick MEXICO CITY, Nov. 24.—Resigned apparently to those conditions which make it necessary to carry on a dilatory campaign against his enemies, President Huerta and his official dependents ap peared serene today, convinced that the United States will not take more dras tic measures toward the Mexican gov ernment than those already taken. It has been rumored that congress would not continue to meet; that it would be automatically dissolved, and that General Huerta was about to quit office. All these rumors have been dis proved by congress launching itself into what promises to be a prolonged ses sion. It is expected that today congress i\ill take up the ratification or nullifi cation of the presidential elections, and it is understood that these will be an nulled, that new elections will be called and that President Huerta will remain at the head of affairs. IN DESPERATE; STRAITS. According to his intimates, no one realizes more fully than General Huerta the desperate straits of his government, but he has reiterated his intention of pounding away at his enemies until he or they have won. At the national pal ace the idea of intervention is scoffed at and the suggestion of a blockade is .received with skepticism; while his ports,might be taken easily, it would be impossible for invaders to get as far as the capital.

Women Boycott Egg Dealers in Attempt To Bring Down Price j CHICAGO, Nov. 24.—In an effort to reduce the price of eggs from 47 cents (.0 32 cents a dozen, members of the Chicago Clean Food club today began a two weeks boycott of egg dealers. “Last year when the price of eggs soared, we had an egg sale,” said Mrs. Caroline Bley, president of the club. “This year we cannot do it because the wholesaler is at fault and not the re taller.” On indisputable authority, a negro who was shot in the mouth the night of November 11, spat the bullet out al most immediately, and ten days later, or last Saturday, he was dismissed from Grady hospital as cured, notwithstand ing he had a hole about as big as a half dollar in the top of his skull where the surgeons had taken put a piece- of bone. Dr. F. K. Boland the Atlanta surgeon, is the authority Who vouches for the ithenticity of this story, which the hospital records and attaches confirm in detail. Will Jones is the name of the negro. He is twenty-three years old. In a fight November 11 he was shot in the mouth and his skull was broken by a blow with a bludgeon. A negro physi cian patched him up, but next day he Was so nearly dead from the lick on his cranium that his relatives hurried him to Grady hospital. Dr. Boland operated, on him that day, to relieve the depressed fracture of the skull. After that was done, a search was be- un for the bullet. No hole in the back of his neck showed its point of exit- Assuming that it remained in the ne gro’s neck, the surgeons examined him under the X-ray. No tnillet was visible. Two particles of lead were seen imbed ded in the back of the negro’s throat. Then it was related that the negro’s brother, accompanying him to the nos- pital, had told a strange yarn about Will spitting the bullet out of- his mouth right after he was shot, and had been laughed at for his information. It became plain at once that the negro had told the truth, for the bullet was gone. The bullet, a pistol slug, went through the right upper lip of the negro, N shat tered several teeth, nicked his jawbone, made a hole in the right side of hla tongue, and knocked a dent in the back of his throat, but did not enter there deeply enough to stick; so he spat it out a fe^r moments later while he still was seeing stars and wondering what had happened. He remembered nothing about that part of the accident, physi cians say. Road Pays Only $750 To Mother of Soldier; Judge Summons Agent CHICAGO, Nov. 24.—R. J.

SALOONS DOUBLE LOCKED BY RUtiC, SAYS WRIGHT (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) ROME, Ga., Nov. 24.—That the recent opinion of the supreme court in the Ma con near-beer cases has been miscon strued by press and public; that it closes and double locks the near-beer saloons throughout the state, instead of favoring them and allowing them to re sume business; is the statement made by Seaborn Wright, who has just re turned from a lecture tour throughout the state. Mr. Wright declares he will devote the ensuing year, if necessary, to a fight to close every near-beer saloon in Georgia. Today he issued the following state ment: “The report of the effect of the de cision sent out from Atlanta and pub lished in most of the daily papers was not only misleading but absolutely false. I presume, of course, that it was ignorance and not a deliberate effort to deceive that inspirea the Atlanta re port. “The supreme court sustains in its decision every contention I have made, and the order of Judge Mathews closing the Macon saloons, as amended by the supreme court, makes it tne order 1 have taken when the saloons and clubs have been closed in Rome. “I repeat what I have said a hundred times: a near-beer saloon cannot operate ii- Georgia as they do today, and any one citizen in any city in Georgia can close the doors of all of them by the injunction method. “The decision of the supreme court did not open the Macon saloons; it dou ble locked them, and it will close and double lock every saloon in Georgia. “All that the law enforcement forces in Georgia ask of the daily press is a fair fight in Georgia. If officers elected by the whisky and beer element in our cities will not enforce law, private citi zens will. Private citizens have today the same power that our governor and solicitor general have always had; the only difference is that a governor or solicitor in Georgia could close Qiem ail in a day if they believed in law enforce ment. “I have cancelled most of my lecture engagements after Christmas. I will give a solid year, if necessary, fighting the brutal domination of the cities of Georgia by the whisky trust and brew ery combine.” Woman Who Wrote “ Votes for Women” at White House Is Fined WASHINGTON, Nov. 24.—Miss Lucy Burns paid a fine of one dollar in police court today for chalking the White House sidewalks with “Votes.-for Wom en,” The judge proposed to release Miss Burns on her personal bond not to re peat the offense, which is a violation of a city ordinance. “I want this thing settled and over with,” said Miss Burns, so the court made it a dollar, and she left, the center of admiration of her suffragette sisters.

PETERSBURG.—An interesting event is shortly expected in the Rus sian Imperial family. The tsarina is at Livadia, the tsar’s residence on the Crimea coast, and her rr edical attend ant has recently been ordered there. Unfortunately, the health dt her maj esty has given cause for so much un easiness of late that Russia awaits the expected event with m little anxiety. Those who have seen the tsarina re cently admit she has aged greatly; in deed, since the mysterious illness of the little tsarevitch, she has been a changed woman. The long years she has spent at the Russian court—years filled with dread lest her husband should be as sassinated—have also left their mark on the unhappy empress, and for a long time she has lived the life almost of a recluse. The sad part of it all is that before her marriage to the tsar in 1894 she had such a bright and happy dis position that she was known everywhere as “Princess Sunshine."
