AND MANY KILLED
CHARRED BONES GREET RESCU-
ERS WHO PENETRATED
TUNNEL.
NO ONE KNOWN TO BE ALIVE
All People on Train Which Mexican
Bandit Tolled Into Death Trap,
Perished.
Cumbre, Chihuahua, Mexico. —Noth-
ing but charred bones and buttons
were found by the rescuing party
which, with the aid of oxygen helmets
and pulinotors, penetrated the Cumbre
tunnel from the south portal as far
as the locomotive and first two cars
of the passenger train which entered
the burning cavern.
These are supposed to be the re
mains of the engineer and tireman of
the ill-fated passenger train. They
were probably killed when their en
gine crashed into the burning freight
train, which had been pushed into the
tunnel by Castillo's bandits several
hours before, it is said. Now, it is
believed that every one of the fifty
or more passengers, including the
crew, aboard the train when it dashed
into the tunnel are dead, but whether
the train was hurried into the tunnel
to escape beieng captured by Castillo's
bandits or sent headlong to its de
struction by the bandits may never be
known.
The wreckage is covered by from 5
to 10 feet of earth, and the only hope
of finding any bodies is that they
may have been covered with earth
before having been reached by the
flames, which is not probable. In the
whole distance traversed not a parti
cle of the woodwork of all the cars
burned was found. The. only recog
nizable body thus far recovered is that
of Juan Fernandez, rear brakeman of
the passenger train, who had escaped,
to within 2UO feet of the north portal,
when he finally succumbed, dying in
a sitting posture, with a handkerchief
tied about his nose and mouth, in a
vain endeavor to save himself from be
ing smothered by the smoke and gas.
it is believed that all others m the
train, who were not maimed or killed,
when the passenger train hit the
wreckage of the freight, attempted to
escape as did Fernandez, but were
overcome.
Washington.—All those aboard the
ill-fated passenger train which collid
ed with seven burning freight, cars in
Cumbre tunnel appear to have perish
ed. They included at least eight
Americans and thirty Mexicans ac
cording to a dispatch from American
- consul Letcher, at Chihuahua.
PERKINS WINS LONG FIGHT
Georgian Who Was Removed by a
Military Cabal to Be Reinstated.
Washington.—Secretary of the Navy
Daniels has definitely advised Geor
gia friends of Lieut. Col. Constantine
Marrast Perkins that he will send to
congress within a few days a letter
approving that officer’s reinstatement
to remedy the injury inflicted by a
military cabal.
In conversation with Senator Hoke
Smith and Representative William Wil
liam Schley Howard, who have act
ively interested themselves in behalf
of tardy justice for this brave offi
cer, the secretary declared that he
was convinced that Lieutenant Colo
nel Perkins was unjustly treated. He
likened~-his case to that of Dreyfus
in France.
Os course in this persecution racial
prejudice did not enter. Lieutenant
Colonel Perkins was appointed to the
naval academy from Rome, Ga., by
President Grant. His father Had served
in the Mexican war. His two sisters
are now living in Georgia—Mrs. W. L.
Hunt at Rome, and Mrs. Richard W.
Cubbedge at Macon. Two brothers
are prominent business men in West
Virginia.
For six years Lieutenant Colonel Per
kins has waged his fight, being many
times in sight, of his goal, only to have
his hopes dashed to pieces. Senator
Clay and Colonel Livingston both
sought to have him reinstated, but
could not convince the officers of the
navy department of what they felt
was rank injustice.

PERUVIAN REBELS REVOLT
PRESIDENT BILLINGHURST OF
PERU CAPTURED; WILL BE
EXILED.
Effort to Reform Finances Caused the
Revolution in the Republic
of Peru.
Lima, Peru.—The president of the
republic of Peru, Guillermo Billing
hurst, was taken prisoner by the mil
itary revolutionists.
President Billinghurst was later
taken by the rebels as a prisoner to
Callac, from which port he will be sent
into exile in a foreign country.
The rebels sudd.enly attacked the i
presidential palace under the leader
ship of Colonel Benavides. Gen. En
rigue Varela, premier and minister of
war, was killed in the fight which en
sued.
Dr. Augusto Durand, a former revo
lutionary leader whose arrest was
sought by the police, took' possession
of the palace. It is generally believed
that he will at once organize a new
government.
The attack on the palace began at
4:30 a. m. Thousands of inhabitants
of Uma dashed into the streets alarm
ed by the firing.
Squads of soldiers were ordered to
fire volleys into the air in order to
prevent the formation of crowds in the
streets and by this method they kept
the ganic-stricken people moving from
place to place. In the vicinity of San
Pedro church, a civilian bystander was
killed by a bullet.
Peru's sudden revolutionary trouble
is due principally to President Billing
hurst’s efforts to place the finances of
this country on a sound basis. His
plans for doing this involved the most
strict economies, which proved unpop
ular, particularly among officeholders
whose salaries and estimates were re
duced.
FRANK GLASS LOSES SEAT
Senate Decides, 32 to 31, Not to Seat
Alabamian.
Washington.—By a majority of one
vote, 32 to 31, Frank P. Glass of Ala
bama, lost his fight for a seat in the
United States senate. The senate sus
tained the recommendation of the com
mittee on privileges and elections,
which held that Mr. Glass was not
entitled to be seated because his ap
pointment by Governor O’Neal to suc
ceed the late Senator Joseph F. John
ston was made after the seventeenth
constitutional amendment directing the
election of senators by the people had
been proclaimed in full effect.
■ln the face of determined opposition
from the majority members of the
committee, headed by Senator Kern,
the champion of the Alabamian, pro
ceeding from a forlorn hope, made re
markabie progress in gaining votes and
the narrow margin by which they lost
the fight created great surprise.
Frozen Under Auto.
Lexintgon, Ky.—Leslie Edwards, 21
years old, was frozen to death, and
Buford Terhune, aged 22, probably
will die from exposure as a result of
being caught under an automobile that
turned turtle in a creek near here at
night, when the steering gear failed to
work.
Literacy Test for Immigrants.
Washington.—The Burnett immigra
tion bill, prescribing a literacy test for
applicants for admission to the United
States, was passed by the house, by a
vote of 241 to 126. As the bill passed,
it provides that every immigrant ad
mitted to the United States must be
able to read "the English language or
some other language or dialect, in
cluding Hebrew or Yiddish.” it pre
scribes the method of testing immi
grants. providing that each applicant
for admission must read between thir

PRESIDENT RAISES EMBARGO
MEXICAN FACTIONS PUT ON AN
EQUAL BASIS BY PRESIDENT
WILSON'S ORDER,
President Believes That His Action Is
the Best Course to End
the Trouble.
Washington. -President Wilson, by
an executive order, made public at the
white house, removed all restrictions
against the exportation of munitions of
war Into Mexico from the United
States, placing the contending Mexi
can elements on a basis of equality
with respect to the purchase of arms
and supplies in this country. The ex
ecutive order emphasized that it was
the desire of the United States to be
in the same position of neutrality to
ward the contending factions in Mexico
as were the other powers.
The text of the proclamation fol
lows-;.
“Whereas, by a proclamation of the
president, issued on March 14, 1912,
under a point resolution of congress,
approved by the president on the same
day, it was declared that there exist
ed in Mexico conditions of domestic
violence which were' promoted by the
use of arms or munitions of war pro
cured from the United States; ana,
"Whereas, by joint resolution above
mentioned, it whereupon became un
lawful to export arms or munitions
of war to Mexico except under such
limitations and exceptions as the pres
ident should prescribe;
"Now, therefore, 1, Woodrow Wil
son, president of the United States of
America, do hereby declare and pro
claim that, as the conditions on which
the proclamation of March 14, 1912,
was based, have essentially changed,
and as it is desirable to place the
United States, with reference to the
exportation of arms or munitions of
war to Mexico, in the same position
as other powers, the said proclama
tion is hereby revoked.”
Mexico City.—Many of the Ameri
cans resident here, on learning of
President Wilson’s decision to raise
the embargo on the exportation of
arms from the United States to Mexi
co, made preparations to leave the
capital for the coast.
Farm Extension Bill Wins.
Washington.—The fight which has
been waged in the senate over the
plan of distributing the agricultural ex
tension work fund of the Smith-Lever
bill ended in victory for Senator Hoke
Smith. The amendment of Senator
Cummins of lowa was defeated by a
vote of 40 to 16. The bill as had been
reported provided for a distribution on
a basis of rural population, and the
Cummins amendment provided for a
distribution on a basis of acreage un
der cultivation, which would have giv
en the state of lowa two and a half
times as much as Georgia, although
Georgia lias a larger population than ;
lowa.

Women State Ages to Register.
Chicago.—Women citizens of Chi
cago turned out in full strength to
take advantage of their first opportun
ity to register as voters. Perfect
weather conditions favored a large reg
istration and estimates vary at from
150,000 to 200,000. Polling places
were made clean and attractive, flow

that women registering must state

CALLS EXEMPTION
MISTAKEN POLICY
ONLY MONOPOLY WOULD BE
BENEFITED, WRITES MR.
WILSON.
STATEMENT MADE IN LETTER
Thinks Nation’s Honor Is at Stake
in Regard to Panama Canal
Tolls.
Baltimore, Md. —President Wood
row Wilson, in a letter to William
L. Marbury of this city, says the ex
emption of American coastwise ship
ping from Panama canal tolls “con
stitutes a vere ymistaken policy from
everey point of view,” and “benefits,
for the present, at any rate, only a
monopoly.” The president also pays
a high tribute to Secretary of State
Bryan, who, he says, deserves “not
only our confldenoce, but our affection
ate admiration,”
“With regard to the question of ca
nal tolls,” says the letter, “my opinion
is very clear. The exemption consti
stitutes a very mistaken policy from
every point of view,” and “benefits,
unjust; as a matter of fact, it bene
fits, for the present, at any rate, only
a monopoly; and it seems to me in
clear violation of the terms of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
“There is, of course, much honest
difference of opinion as to the last
point, as there is, no doubt, as to the
others; but it is at least debatable,
and if the promises we make in such
matters are debatable, I, for one, do
not care to debate them. I think the
country would prefer to let no ques
tion arise as to its whole-hearted pur
pose to redeem its promises in the
light of any reasonable construction of
them, rather than debate, a point of
honor.
“Your reference to the secretary of
state shows how comprehensively you
have looked on during the last few
months.' Not only have Mr. Bryan’s
character, his justice, his sincerity, his
transparent integrity, his Christian
principle, ma.de a deep impression up
on all with whom he has dealt; but
his tact In dealing with men of many
sorts, his capacity for business, his
mastery of the principles of each mat
ter he has been called upon to deal
with .have cleared away many a diffi
culty and have given to the policy
of the state department a definiteness
and dignity that are very admirable.”
U.S. MARINES LAND IN HAYTI
Rioting and Pillaging to an Alarming
Extent Breaks Out.
Washintgon.—Rioting and pillaging
broke out in Cape Haitien to such an
extent that. Commander Bostwick of
the gunboat Nashville landed eighty
men to protect lives and property of
foreign residents.
Commander Bostwick took action at
the request of foreign consuls. In
structions to his landing force were
to protect Americans, all foreigners
and theier property.
Davilmar Theoedore, who had pro
claimed himself provisional president
before his defeat at Gonaives at the
hands of the Zamor brothers, is trying
to set up a government at Cape Hai

tle. He has appointed a cabinet, but,
according to Commander Bostwick’s
report, appears to be losing control of
his forces.
Latest reports from Captain Russell
of the battleship South Carolina at j
Port-au-Prince, expressed apprehen
sion for the safety of the city. How
ever, he reports no" organized effort
to expel foreign naval forces policing

SWEET TO DIE”
Thought This Lady, While Under

Here Told First Time.
Linn, W. Va. —“There is no doubt
but that my life was saved by the use
of Cardui, the woman’s tonic,” says
Mrs. Abbie Shackleford, of this town.
"Before using Cardui, I was very bad
off —would have nervous and shaking
spells through my entire body, terri
ble sick headaches, and would find
myself gasping for breath. I often
thought during those trying times
that it would be sweet to die.
I took many different medicines and
treatments, but they did me no good.
I got weaker and weaker every day.
Finally, I decided to try Cardui and
got two bottles. I was certainly great
ly surprised to note the quick change
for the better, after taking only one
third of the first bottle. The shaky
spells and sick headache have entirely
disappeared. Can now walk one mile
co church and back, and not feel
tired.
• Cardui also proved a blessing to my
oldest daughter. Everyone thought
she had appendicitis, on account of a
bad pain in her side, but Cardui
brought her back to good health.
I will never be without Cardui in
the house.”

GRANDMA USED SAGE TEA
TO DARKEN HER GRAY HAIR
She Made Up a Mixture of Sage Tea
and Sulphur to Bring Back Color,
Gloss, Thickness.
Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed. brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streaked
or gray; also ends dandruff, itching
scalp and stops falling hair. Years
ago the only way to get this mixture
was to make it at home, which is
mussy and troublesome. Nowadays,
by asking at any store for “Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy," you
will get a large bottle of this famous
old recipe for about 50 cents.
Don’t stay gray! Try it! No.one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen a sponge or
■ soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strar.d at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another ap
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully dark, thick and glossy. Adv.
