They were forced to detrain there because of the destruc tion of the railroad. Preparations were made at once to march overland ot the state capital. Another train, carrying 1,000 rebels, was made ready here for the journey south* General Villa said that before reach ing Chihuahua he expected to be re inforced by General Manuel Chao and Juan Cortinas, who were reported ad vancing from Torreon. Unless this movement is intercepted, Villa hoped to rally at least 7,000 men to attack the ' 5,000 federals said to be garrisoned in the capital. The last reports from Chi huahua City, which has been under siege fcr two weeks, were that the cathedral had beeen converted into a fort, breast works of sand bags having been built or the roof which overlooks the sur rounding country. Entrenchments manned by artillery guard the ap proaches and loop holes have been cut ii. the walls of many houses.

Rebel Victories Seem to Please President Wilson WASHINGTON, Dec. 1—President Wilson observed to callers today that the Mexican factions seemed to be run ning things in an interesting way at present and that no development was contemplated so far as the United fctates was concerned.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.—Another of Europe’s most highly prized treasures of art is coming to America, according to special cable advices, wffich say the celebrated Cowper “Madonna and Child,” by Raphael, has been purchased by American dealers at a price above half a million dollars. The painting is known as the Cowper picture because it was the chief treasure of the late Earl Cowper’s collection at Panshanger, Hertfordshire. England. It has lately been in possession of Lord Desborougli. One of the conditions under which the famous picture was sold is said to be that it should first be offered to the British national gallery. This was done a month ago, but the national gallery, with its small annual grant, was irnable to raise the high price asked. The painting portrays tne virgin wearing a red tunic cut square ever the breast and a blue mantle. The child has one foot resting on its mother’s left hand with its arms around her neck. The canva,s is of small dimensions, 23 bj 17 inches, but it has often been de scribed as one of the most valuable in the world. It was painted in 1505. New Mexico Broke, Is Unable to Pay The State Official CBy Associated Press.) SANTA FE, N. Mex., Dec. 1.—For the first time in thirteen years, the commonwealth of New Mexico is un able to pay in full the salaries of of state officials and clerks of the various departments. Today marked the end of the- fiscal year, and salaries were paid on seventy per cent basis, with no assurances when the officials will re ceive the remainder due, or, in fact, any future salary, cecause of trouble arising out of tax and assessment litigation, which has brought about a financial crisis i nthe state. Because of this condition there are rumors of a special legislative session. Governor McDon ald is silent on the subject.

More Than 100 Counties Be Represented When Doors Open at Capitol on Tuesday Morning Corn banked up on tables thickly cov ering the entire tower floor of the state capitol and paTT" f of the second floor, with exhibits from twenty-eight girls’ canning clubs completely filling the wing at the Washington street en trance, is the interesting sight that greeted visitors to the statehouse to day. The 3,000 corn club exhibits from more than a hundred Georgia counties are being put in place under the direc tion of Chairman H. G. Hastings, of the corn show committee of the Atlanta chamber of commerce, and by night the show will be ready for tomorrow’s opening. Mr. Hastings has supplied a special crew of his own men, in charge of Roland L. Lyon, to place the exhib its, and an attractive and advantageous arrangement has been secured. Reports to the chamber of commerce from a hundred counties show that 94** corn club boys are coming to Atlanta Tuesday and Wednesday. It is esti mated that approrimately 160 of these will visit Atlanta relatives, leaving 784 to be provided for. Homes have already been secured for 700 of these, and it is anticipated that the returns of cards from the high schools and from the sixth, seventh and eighth grades of the grammar schools will more than take care of the surplus. In addition to the features of the program heretofore announced, there will be special exercises in the hall of the house of representatives at 10 o’clock Thursday morning, December 4, for the visiting boys and girls. Presi dent Wilmer L. Moore, of the Atlanta chamber of commerce, will preside, and interesting addresses will be delivered by Chancellor David C. Barrow, of the state university; J. Phil Campbell, rep resenting the United States department of agriculture; M. L. Britain, state su perintendent of schools, and Dr. A. M. Soule, president of state college of agri culture, who will deliver the diplomas from that institution to all the boys who have a record this year of a hun dred bushels or more. J. D. Price, com missioner of agriculture, will addess the boys at the Gand opea house Wed nesday evening. FREE PICTURE SHOWS. Three of Atlanta's leading moving picture shows have opened their doors free of charge to the corn club boys during their stay in the city. The boys will be admitted on their corn club buttons to the Vaudette, on Whitehall, near Hunter street, at any hour of the day, while they will be admitted on their buttons to the Savoy and Alcazar, on Peachtree street, between -the hours of 10 and 1 o’clock. A special bureau of information will be established at the capitol, near the Washington street entrance, and all the corn club boys arriving in the city are requested to report there. Cards of in troduction to the hostesses who are to entertain the boys will tie given to the corn club agents and county school superintendents in charge of them, and information will be furnished as to the street cars to be taken. There are more th^n twice as many exhibits by the girls’ canning clubs this year than last. Miss Mary E. Creswell, in charge of this work, is busy placing exhibits from twenty-eight counties, each representing a different club, while there will be twenty individual exhibits made by the girls who have done the best work in their respective counties. Probably the most remarkable showing made by any of the girls this year is that of Clyde Sullivan, of Ousley, Lowndes county, fourteen years old. Little Miss Sullivan cultivated her one-tenth of an acre in tomatoes, from which she put up more than 2,000 No. 2 cans, which she sold to a turpentine commissary near her home for $227. Her expenses were $96 in which she included her own time at 10 cents an hour, so that her net profit after paying herself for her work, was $131. UNDAUNTED B DROUTH. Undaunted by an early spring drouth, Little Miss Sullivan carried bucket after bucket of water every night for weeks and poured it on her young tomato plants, so that they -finally yielded her a bountiful harvest. Her exhibit $or v the state fair was so hurriedly prepared that it was not in the best of shape when set up in Macon. She noticed this and when her exhibit came for the corn show, every package was as neatly and care fully prepared as if it had come from a canning factory. Another splendid showing is made by Eron Dooly, 12 years old, of Oconee coun ty, who put up this year 1,450 No. 3 cans of tomatoes on which her profit was more than $100, or nearly double what she did last year. One of the girls In Jenkins county, whose name Miss Creswell could not re call, picked all the worms off her toma toes in the spring and sold them to fish ermen as bait for enough to pay for all the fertilizers she used. There will be at least forty of the can ning club girls here for the corn show, and through the kindenss of A. L. Belle Isle, provision has been made for them to take part In Thursday’s parade. Seats will be placed on his big truck, and they will ride in the parade at the head of the corn club boys. Frank Harrell, lessee of the Winecoff hotel, has nptified the chamber of com merce that he will provide rooms at his hotel for twenty of the Corn club boys who will visit Atlanta during the show. Birmingham Officials Cut Their Own Pay to Boom the City Budget (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Dec. 1.—The city commission of Birmingham Satur day established an unusual precedent by recucing their own salaries in a general slashing of operating expenses of the city. This step was taken despite the fact that the commissioners’ salaries are fixed by the legislature and no reduction can be legally made. The three members of the board, James Weatherby, George Ward and A. O. Lane say that the reduction will be ef fective by their making an annual appro priation to the city equivalent to the re duction desired. A total of about $1,000 was cut from the salaries of three. ANOTHER WEDDING IN WASHINGTON SOON STRICT MARRIAGE LAWS WANTED BY METHODISTS Child Labor, Women’s Styles, Sunday Golf and Baseball Strongly Condemned BX REV. IOY WARWICK. MACON, (5a., Dec. 1.—The committee on temperance and other nforal reforms made a report this morning which was adopted by the South Georgia confer ence. The report condemns “the or ganized system of child slavery” and “notes with shame the tow rank our state takes in its statutory protection of little children.” The report condemns the lax marriage laws of the day and calls for the en actment of some law that will prevent the marriage of people unfit to marry. Sunday golfing, ball playing, card play ing and Sunday dancing were spoken against in vigorous language. Strong language was also used against ‘‘the importation of Parisian shame in the way of feminine fashion.” It was said that “some women bow down to and worship modern styles which are neith er decent or pretty.” The report spoke of the progress of the temperance and prohibition causes and commended Commissioner W. J. Harris for his stand against the em ployment of ’drinking men in the pen sion department. A great many preachers in the South Georgia conference voted against the resolution offered by the temperance committee in regard to women’s fash ions. They thought that the conference would be presuming to say anything about how ladies should dress. One minister who wore a Prince Albert coat spoke in favor of the report, when an other speaker said that his brother who had just spoken was himself wearing a “slit skirt,” and the same might be said of all who wore Prince Albert coats. The resolutions prevailed, but many who do not approve of extreme styles felt that the conference should leave the whole matter alone. The motion pre vailed by a small majority.
