Yic toriano Huerta has begun to at tend to the business which brought him to New York and which he de scribed as "personal and family." The former provisional president ofj Mexico occupied one of the most ex pensive suites in a downtown local hotel. Despite General Huerta's assur ances on landing Monday that he would do nothing while here to vio late the neutrality of the United States, it was reported In Mexican circles that important conferences were tn be held at once to determine whether the time was ripe for Huer ta's Interference In Mexico by rally ing his old battalions to his support In an attempt to put down the fac tions contending for the control of Mexico.

PEACE FLftG FLOATED OVER DELEGATES SHIP Peace Delegates Sailed for The Hague Headed by Miss Jane Addams. One of the most enjoyable of its kind was the general meeting of the Woman's society of the First Pres byterian church, held Monday af ternoon, in the church house. The building was well filled and the pres ence of a number of strangers added to the pleasure of the meeting. Dr. j H. I". Ompbcll was present and bo clearly did he set forth the benefit to be derived from the church's owning a bungalow at Montreat for the use of its members during the summer that the society unanimously voted to assure the purchase of the lot. The property has already been named in honor of the paBtor's wife, "The Sally Campbell Camp." Another feature of unusual inter est was a brief talk by Mrs. Ralph C. Norton, who with her husband held evangelistic services for the French New York, April 14. A huge ppaee (lag floated at the mast-head of the Holland-American Jine steamer Noor dnm as the 40 or more delegates from America, headed by Miss Jane Addams went aboard to sail for Rotterdam to attend the' International Woman's Peace conference at The Hague.

'We cannot euess what foreign sub marines may do at the sipht of a new Hag to attack," said Miss Addams, "hut we are secure in the conviction thai we should do what we can for peace."

McDevitt is employed in the black smith shops of the Southern Railway Company and usually goes to work S o'clock each morning, but his wife states that last Saturday morning he left unusually early saving that he wanted to go down and see some of the night force. When he walked out of sight of the house that morning he disappear ed from the view of all who had ever known him before.

M.R" ROBERTS RIVEIIART RACK FROM "WAR ZONK." Deputy State Insurance Commis sioner Frank' Jordan is in Asheville for a short visit to his family, hav ing just completed several Investiga tions of state-wide interest. Last Saturday Deputy Jordan ar rested Andrew Woodard near Prince ton, in the eastern section of the Mate on charges of burning his dwelling house. It is charged that Woodard set fire and burned the house, which la valued at about $900 In order to collect insurance of 12, 000. In working up the evidence Mr. Jordan traced Woodard by the im pressions made by a deformed foot in the soft earth near the house. Mr. Jordan says that he does not believe that there Is a man In the state that could have mads the Impressions but Woodard. He Is now in jail at Smith field without bond and will be given a hearing before tho recorded on May While on this trip Deputy Jordan also worked up cases against Tom Wallace, colored, and Albert Worley charged with burning a gin and saw mill owned by John W. Mitchell. The trip to the eastern section of the state was mads to work on these rases. Wallace is now In tho Smith field jail, pending a hearing In his case and Worley is held under a $1,000 bond for a hearing next Tues day. ' A case that has attracted more at tention throughout western North Carolina than any other recently. Is that of W. C. Bentley, who was ar rested by Deputy Commissioner Jor dan and Sheriff Deaton of Iredell county, at Statesville last week on charges of burning his store. When Mr. Jordan arrived at Rtates- ville to work on the case he had no cluea whatever, but with the assist ance of Sheriff Deaton and by per sistent investigation the officers were able to gather evidence sufficient to cause Bentley to make an open con fession to the officers. He waived preliminary examination in the case and was held to Superior court un der a bond oi $1,600.. Hentley was with the officers fre quently and evidently knew to what end they were working." From time to time through his words and ac tions Mr. Jordan says that "he gave himself away," so to apeak. In speaking of the work done by the offlcera the Statesville Land mark has the following to say: "Messrs. Jordan and Deaton and those who assisted them are to be commended for their investigation of the fire and its climax. It was a hard case but the officers were de termined to 'ferret out the guilty party' and they are untiring in their efforts." LARGE 'STILL CAPTURED, A Vehicle Cut to Pieces Sup posedly by Makers of "Moonshine." NO ONE HURT IN SHIP ACCIDENT IN JAPAN Kobe, Japan, April 13. About 100 (passengers of the steamer Minnesota I which ran on a rock In the Inland sea Sunday night, were brought here 'today. Among them was Mrs. Francis B. Harrison,-wife of the governor general of the Philippines. The pas sengers eald they ' suffered little In convenience as a result of the accident. Copper Is as valuable In the eyes of the distiller of "moonshine" whiskey as it is to the belligerents in the pres ent European war. And It Is perhaps no mope than human nature that the makers of "mountain dew" should sometimes commit reprisals for ; tho destruction of their property. Officer J. A. Galloway returning Monday afternbon from Brevard tells a story of a surrey chopped to pieces, supposedly by moonshiners. On Sun day Officer Galloway had taken ad vantage of the quiet.of Easter Sunday td make a raid about ten miles from Brevard near the South Carolina line, and had found and destroyed a large, m-gallon capacity 'still, with 800 gal lons of beer, and was returning to Brevard when the surrey broke down and the officer had to telephone for an automobile to continue his journey. , When the liverymen returned on Monday morning to bring the broken vehicle to the shop nothing but the pieces were found. In the night som. body had made kindling wood of th surrey, and It Is supposed that th owners of the still in this way sought revenge for the loss of their valuable copper. - On Friday Mr. Galloway ' captured an Illicit plant in Jackson county, and on the same day Officer J. F. Cab destroyed one in Clay county. CASE OF WILHELMINA ' MAY BE DECIDED SOON London, April 14. The case 0f American steamer Wilhelmlna has again been adjourned in -the prliei court on the application of the govern-: ment counsel for further negotiations.

The most important Item of busi ness transacted yesterday, was the election of a new president for the society. It was with genuine regret that the society accepted the resig nation of Mrs. Thomas P. Reynolds, who in a few weeks leaves for her new home In Richmond. Since the organization of the society in Septem ber, Mrs. Reynolds has served as president with great diplomacy and rare executive ability and It Is large ly through her efforts that Hie organ ization has attained its high degree of efficiency. But In the loss of Mrs. Reynolds, the knowledge that Mrs. Whltefoord O, Smith her successor. Is fully capable of maintaining the standard set by the former president and of carrying on with equal suc cess the work so auspiciously begun. After the motion for adjournment, the retiring and Incoming presidents were given an informal reception. ins in ou !

' '" I I .. .J .IIHI""" " ' " 1 ' ,"'""k REQUISITION ISSUED - FOR CHRISTY BY GOV. One thing that impresses the parents of the children is the fairness of the plan to give all those who do not win either the pony outfits or the gold watches ten per cent commission on all the business they turn in during the con test. The reason for this is that The Gazette-News does not want any boys or girls wholly disappointed, and is un willing itself to be placed in the position of being the beneficiary of free work done for it by boys and girls. So this admirable compensating feature has been devised and put into the "contest. ' ' , Remember that the contest runs only till May 18 at which date it will positively close, .so it will be short and sweet. Therefore, make hay while the sun shines and get all the votes you can. This is a beautiful Pony Outfit in every respect, and will be shown on the streets of Asheville soon. It is Jhe kind of rig that any boy or girl will be delighted to possess, the pony gentle and well broken and the buggy and linmess handsome and stylish. The beautiful watches aro now on display in A. M. Field Co.'s window. New Orleans, April 13. Defenses at the Panama canal are "adequate for all purposes and In good condition," according to General Leonard Wood, who arrived here today.
