SMALLPOX FOUND
IN REFUGEE CAMP.
Health Officers Have Situation
in Hand.
Well
El Paso, Texas, Jan. 23. Several
cases of smallpox were discovered
among Mexicans interned with the
Federal soldiers and refugees at Fort
Bliss today. All of the 6,900 or more
Mexicans were ordered vaccinated,
Physicians siiid there was no danger
6f an epidemic. The patients were
isolated.
' Diplomsts Are Interested.
Washington, January 23. John
Land's freruent conferences of lato
with Mex.ccn leaders have interested
members of the diplomatic ccrps here
who pointed cut lonsgni thai tr
American envoy naturally might be in
duced to throw Out hints as to what
type of provisional president would
meet with approval at the White
House.
So far as officials here are advised,
the vicissitudes which preceded the
Madero revolt and followed the death
of that leader have not detracted from
the high stand Francisco DeLaBarra,
at present minister to France, attain
ed when President Diaz was. forced to
abdicate. Senor DeLaBarra then was
brought forward as the leader could
placate all factions pending a new
election. Some diplomats here be
lieve DeLaBarra again could compose
the situation in Mexico. .
Seme uneasiness was occasioned at
the War Department by the appear
ance of smallpox among Federal sol
diers and refugees near El Paso, Tex.,
and instructions went forward to
Brigadier General Bliss to vaccinate
"all soldiers, women and children.
' The general condition of Mexican
financial affairs was summarized in
luig statement from the State Depart
ment: Americans are finding the forced
loans levied upon them a great bur
den." Secretary Daniels today sent this
message to Rear Admiral W. C.
Cowles, commanding the American
squadron in Mexican-Pacific waters:
. "Upon the occasion of your detach
ment from present duties and your
crders to the command of the impor
tant station in Asiatic waters, the i3-
parfmf nt wishes to assure you of its !
appreciation ci your ?Die ana aiscreet
management of affairs cn the wes
craft of Mexico."
PRESIDENT'S APPOINTEE
!S TO GIVE DECISION.
As to Who Disputed Land Belongs to
Delicate Situation.
Los Angeles, Cal., January 23.
Some time after fifty4 days, perhaps
within the next six months, President
Wilson will know. whether he, as trus
te3 for Mrs. Wilson, still retains title
to $3,000 worth o fland in the Coach
ella Valley, under contest n the Unit
ed States land office here.
In the meantime, Mrs. Wilson faces
a delicate situation relating to a deci
sion in the contest which involves the
counter claims of Mrs. Maud Comptcn
Hensie and Homer L. Goddard, of Los
Angeles. Hearing of testimony was
concluded today before Frank Buren,
register, and O: R. Robinson, receiv
er of the land office. Buren has al
ready passed-the limit of his term of
effice and Robinson's term ends March
5th. As a decision legally cannot be
rendered in less than 50 days, adjudi
cation will rest with their successors
who will be appointed by the Presi
dent. Exhibits filed in the contest today
were a certified copy of a deed show
ing President Wilson to be owner of
the land as trustee for his wife, and
a letter from Mrs. Wilson ' saying she
. had paid T-,000 for the tract and had
paid taxes on it for three years.
John T. King, who instituted the
contest, was the original locater of
-the land. He sold it later to Mrs.
Margaret Axson Elliott, who in turn
sold it to Mrs. Wcodrow Wilson.
King's claim was cancelled by the
land department in March, 1913, be
cause he had failed to make re-publi-sation
of a faulty notice of location.
IN CONFERENCE OVER
THAT DISPUTED CLAIM.
Governor Craig and Directors
Of
School for Blind.
(Special Star Correspondence.)
Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 23. Governor
-Craig and the members of the board
of directors of the State School for
the Blind here were in conference all
the afternoon considering the disput
ed claim of $4,6Q0 balance, due the
Raleigh Real Estate & Trust Co., on
the proposed new site for the school
for white blind. -
t The State paid $30,000 for the prop
erty and there .has since been raised
a claim for the $4,600 that is said to
have, been pledged by some citizens
of Raleigh who failed to raise the
money and then the real estate com
; pany came in with the claim against
- the State. The special session of the
. Legislature authorized the payment of
- the money subject to the approval or
' the directors of the institution, the
State Treasurer to reimburse the
treasury out of funds received for the
; sale of . a 15-acre tract of land belong
ing to the colored school for the blind.
IJThS directors are said to almost una
'Vnimously oppose thttyment of the
- $4,600., ; :

PEERS DISPOSING OF
e. BIG LAND
ESTATES.
Can No Longer Afford Them Decline
s In Agriculture. -
T,ondcn. January 23. WeeK Dy
week, almost day by day, a glance at
tee Lonaon pumifaiiuus nmcu ma,i.w
a feature of real estate deals shows
that for those who have capital to in
vest or uerhaos to remain idle it is an
easy matter to acquire a historic Brit-
is;-' ertate.
With such an -estate would go tno
i ownership of a medieval castle or an
j Elizabethan or Jacobean mansion,
i towns, villages, manors and manorial
rishts. churches,. hotels, nns. in short,
evervthins: that in the twentieth cen
tury apart from birth and hereditary
Iteming8, rtiUieseiiLE an iuai -is ren via
the conditions of feudal days.
Why this should be so is natural
question. All the world knows of the
wonderful individual wealth of thto
country. Equally well known is the
Enelish nobleman's love of land, es
pecially the nobleman's desire to hold
property that property which has
been in the possession of his family
for generations. These men neverthe
less are rushing into the market to sell
the estates with which their names
have been united in' close bonds for
centuries-or at least for many genera
tions. The answer to the query is m many
cases very simple. Many of those fam
ilies which depended on their lands tor
their entire income have grown noorev
and poorer as the agriculture of Eng
land has declined. Such families have
abandoned their estates m shoals, but
the greater and richer taraines, wna
own city properties and valuable min
er alholdings acouired by marriago
into ereat mercantile families, reso
lutely held cn to th?r broad acres. In
these aavs sucn iamiu'ri iui m iuw
C3se it is -families. rt individuals.
which rau?- bo i!-;er. into considera
tion are sell-rsr huge crates, huge as
acreage counts :n r small country like
Ensrlahd. They are eager to sell now,
although they are. wealthy and not:
pressed for ready money.
HOWIE MINE PRODUCTIVE.
Those Operating Property Near Wax-
haw Getting Heturns.
Charlotte. N. C.. Jan. 23. "We have
a modern plant already at work at
the Howie gold mine and are making
plans to greatly increase the capacity
of the plant, putting m machinery
that will represent a total investment
of about S250.0U0," said Mr. S. H. Bra-
cy, of Chicago, to a News representa
tice at the Stone .vail hotel this morn
ing, where he and his family have
been for several days.
The Howie mme is located neear
Waxhaw. Mr. Bracy wafs at the Stone
wall on his way to Waxhaw and the
mine where he expected to spend sev
eral days with one or two other min
ing men and experts, going carefully
over the situation.
"We have found this mine a good
paying, proposition," said Mr. Bracy,
for the ore thatwe are getting out is
panning out well, and is yielding sev
eral times as many dollars a ton as is
considered a paying investment or an
investment that is considered worth
while."
Mr. Bracy stated that the present
equipment will shortly be increased
so that the mine will have an output
of seme 400 tons of ore daily. This
are is treated by modern methods and
the" gold metal is extracted and Mr.
Bracy is greatly satisfied with the
handsome manner in which the mine
has thus far shown results. The con
fidence, of the owners in this mine
is indicated by their decision . to in
crease the plant's capacity to the ex?
tent of nearly. $250,000. The plant
now in operation turns out about 50
tons a day, but with the additional
equipment to be installed, this amount
of ore ' will be increased to 400 tons
daily.
INJURED IN COTTON GIN.
Mecklenburg Man Has Arm and Face
Lacerated..
Charlotte, N. C, January 23. I.
G . - Wallace, . a prominent citizen
of Sardis, suffered a painful accident
shortly after noon today, when his
right arm became caught in a portion
of the machinery of a cotton gin.
Through the terrible strength of the
machinery, the victim was jerked
quickly downward until his face was
brought in contact with the teeth of
the saws. The arm was cut in a num
ber of places, while his face was ter
ribly lacerated.
Through a telephone message to the
city, Drs. C; M. Strong and J. M. De
Armon were summoned to the scene
of the accident. Placing Mr. Wallace
in a macnine, he was hurried to the
city.- He was immediately taken to
the Charlotte Sanatorium, where his
injuries are receiving attention this
afternoon. It is feared that an ampu
tation cf the arm will be necessitated
b ythe deep inroads of the saw teeth.
Mr. Wallace had suffered considerable
loss of blood, and is much weakened
as a result of his trying ordeal.

prl this afternoon.
Th nuestion of the consolidation
of the Mine Workers of America with
the Western Federation of Miners was
brought up, but action was postpon
ed.
The proposition for the formation

MASONS SET PACE. ,
Provide $500 for Curing Needy Tuber
cular Brethren. . .
(Bulletin State Board of Health.)
At the meeting of the Grand Lodge
of Masons at Raleigh, one of the
most significant actions taken was the
providing of $500 to pay for the treat
ment of needy and worthy tubercular
Masons at the State Sanatorium at
Montrose; and also the appointment of
a -committee to devise some plan for
permanently endowing beds-at the ni-
stitution.
The funds provided by the State
are . utterly inadequate, to provide
entirely for the treatment of our tu
bercular sick, and hence it is necessa
ry that taose entering tne institution
pay a minimum fee of $1 per day. The
usual cost for sanatorium treatment
for tuberculosis, equal to that furnish
ed at, Montrose, ranges from $2 to $3
or even S4 a day. Thus it will be rea-
diy seen that this action on the part
of, the Masons is an excellent step for
ward, not only from a humanitarian
but also from a business viewpoint
Some fraternal orders, trade unions
end other organizations build and
maintain expensive sanatoria them
selves, -but in this State it is far
cheaper to divide the expense with the
state.
This action on the part of the "Ma
sons is especially commendable as it
doubtless marks the beginning of such
benevolence among other fraternal
orders, clubs, churches, etc. To the
Masons, however, belong the credit of
taking the initiative in this work.

wants is Foster, who, she says, will
marry her as soon as he can get a di

what he would do if Foster should
come to Pemberton.
The girl warned him by telegraph
