Washington Dispatch, 21st Alarmed for the safety of American lives which are in jeopardy because of widespread lawlessness of Mexican rebels in Vera Cruz State and throughout Mexico, the State depart ment again has called upon the navy to protect American interests in the republic. Tonight the gunboat Wheeling is steaming from Tampa, Fla., for Vera Cruz, where Americans are said to face a graver crisis than that reliev ed by the Cruiser Des Moines during the Diaz uprising last October. The request of the State Depart ment to the navy came after the re ceipt of a long series of official re ports from Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson and consuls in Southern Mexi can cities all reflecting a condition of anarchy, especially in the State of Vera Cruz, where Federal authorities faced the problem of restoring civil order with a disorganized and divid ed army. Guerilla warfare, brigan dage, sacking of ranches and villages and other desperate crimes place Americans and other foreign resi dents in a state of constant danger and the latest advices to the State Department express fear of an even worse outbreak. Hoodlums Wreck Street Sprinkler.. As the result of the dastardly act of some of Lumberton's rowdies the town's street sprinkler is a complete wreck at the 'edge of the river, near the town hall. The sprinkler was standing on the edge of Water street near the town hall and sometime dur ing the late hours Tuesday night some persons whose names have not been learned pushed it down the em bankment of the river. Mr. Bert Edmund, who lives on the corner of " Fourth and Water streets, says that he heard a noise Tuesday night about 1 o'clock in the direction where the wagon stood. It looks like some people hate even the sight of a water wagon they would hot ride on one and, don't even want to see one doing business. A Large Real Estate Deal. Quite a large real estate deal was consumated this week when Mr. C. M. Barker and the firm of Messrs. White & Gough purchased the Seth Smith place in Howellsville township.

The new owners have started to work improving and devel opine the property and it is expected that things will be taking on a new appearance in these parts in a .very short while. A big " public highway will be opened across the property and contract has already been let for clearing up 1QQ acres. It is under stood "tRat tbe'rcorisidefation In this deal was about $12,000., TURKEY YIELDS. Will End Empire's History As Euro pean Nation Allies Will Levy Heavy Payment Will Be Some Weeks Before Treaty is Signed. London Dispatch, 22d. Plenipotentiaries of the Balkan kingdoms are immensely pleased over the decision of the grand council at Constantinople to accept the advice of the powers. While it had become . r 1 - l L 4. AQ increasingly certain in vac pons io hours that the Turkish elder states men were prepared to face the bit ter fate that ends, the empire's his tory as an European nation, it was hardly expected that they would reg ister their decision so quickly and so definitely. This is so unlike the customary Turkish way that it is thought Tur key might still have cards up her sleeve. The Porte's reply to the joint note of the powers will be handed to the ambassadors tomorrow, however, and the remainder of the negotiations leading to the signing of the peace treaty, are expected to be an anti climax. One crucial point of difference re mains to be settled in the question of indemnity. The Allies propose to levy a heavy payment upon the defeated nation. They speak of $200,000,000 as an adequate sum. Their minimum is an amount equal to the Turkish debts attached to the territories which they will annex under the treaty. The Turks are likely to contest the indemnity strongly, and the bank rupt condition of "their country ftir nishes them with a potent argument for an appeal to the powers. Nego tiations over the settlement of minor questions and for the taking over the conquered provinces will occupy a considerable time and it will be some weeks before the treaty is signed. SCHOOL BOARD HEARINGS. Decisions of School Committeemen Debarring Children from School Re versed at Called Meeting of Coun ty Board of Education Yesterday. A called meeting of the county board of education was held yester day to hear two cases in regard to exclusion of children from Indian schools on the ground of negro blood and in both cases the board reversed committeemen and ordered that the children be admitted to the Indian schools of the county. The school committeemen of dis trict No. 1, Indian, Saddle Tree town ship, charged that Dovie Scott has negro blood in her veins and should be excluded from the schools, but the board after hearing all the evi dence decided that she is a full-blood Indian and ordered that she be admit ted to the Indian schools of the coun- i, ., . . The other case came from district No. 2fi Indian, Thompson township,an appeal from an order of the commit teemen or the district debarring the children of John Hammond from school. The committeemen were rep resented by the law firm of Mclntyre, Lawrence & Proctor and the children of Hammond were represented by the firm of McLean, Varser & McLean. After hearing all the evidence and ar gument of counsel, the board found that the children of John Hammond are Indians and entitled to the priv ileges of the Jrdlan schools of the county, the order of the committee men debarring them from attendance at school was reversed and they were ordered to allow the children to at tend the school.

Justice, who introduced the resolution passed by the House to invite these men, got hot in the collar at the action of the Senate and said yesterday, when he tried to get the House to invite these men and let the Senate go hang, that he thought the Senate had acted very discourteously. The resolution was made a special order for this morn ing at 11:30 o'clock. F. M.

The Senate session yesterday was featured by prolonged debate on a bill to repeal the act of 1911 limiting the borrowing capacity of building the loan associations to 25 per cent, of their assets. The bill went over to a future date for action. Bills have been introduced in the House as follows: To enable "counties to establish and maintain public hos pitals, levy a tax and issue bonds therefor, elect hospital trustees main tain training schools for nurses, etc.; to provide for use of Australian ballot system in general elections; to require better service from telegraph companies doing business in the State and to penalize delay in deliverey of mes sages; to require railroads to main tian automatic gong signals at pub lic crossings; to make it unlawful to keep for sale intotxicaing liquors in North Carolina; to protect wage nA ' , i t i iiv-io aiiu ciiiuiui ci o xi will luau sharks; to regulate and restrict cihld labor in manufacturing establish ments; to prevent use of firearms by children; to amend the law of 1905 relative to divorce.

Faces Opportunities Such as Have Been Given Few Carolinians: Washington Cor., 21st, News and Observer. Senator Simmons was a happy man today when he received a tele gram from State Senator A. D. Watts announcing that the vote of every Democrat in the North Carolina Leg islature had been cast for his return to the Senate after March 4. The Senator said that at no time since the primary on election day had he had reason to believe that any friction would deveelop among the Democrats of the Legislature as to abiding by the decision of the pri mary. 'But he did not hesitate to an- nonce his gratification that the time for voting had come and gone and that the vote of his party in the State Legislature had been unani mous for his return. Senator Simmons was a happy man, as nas been said happy tor the rea son that with the return of the Dem ocratic party into control of every Drancn oi administration or the na tional government, he faces opportu nities for full and responsible work sucn as nave been given few North Carolinians in the historv of the State, Senator Simmons will be chairman of the tariff committee when Con gress meets in special session soon after the inauguration to redeem the tariff pledges which the country on election day authorized the Democra tic party to fulfill. The Senator was highly optimistic today as to the conditions among the Democrats in the Senate and as to their ability to perform the work of the next few months well. He said: "I have never, since I have been a member of Congress, seen nuch a firte sentiment of co-operation and patriotism among the two 'houses of Congress. Such a spirit augers well for the performance of the work that lies ahead of the two bodies for the next administration. "I feel well justified in predicting that the two houses wii not differ in any application of principles when they meet this spring to redeem the pledges of the campaign. There is practical unity among the two Demo tic majorities as to the important measures and doctrines upon which the party made its appeal to be en trusted with the addministrationof the peoples government. Differences may arise among the Democrats in each body and between the two bod ies themselves as to details, but such differences if they do arise, will not involve any principle. The spirit now obtaining on both sides of the capitol forestalls this possibility. Such dif ferences if they do arise will be ad justed quietly in conferences." At the regular meeting of the Yale corporation Monday President Taft accepted the appointment of Kent professor of law at Yale. He will go to New Haven early in April and will deliver this spring some lectures of an optional character. The Kent pro fessorship was established in 1801 and there have been only four incumbents of the chair Chief Justice David D. Daggett of Connecticut, Clark Bis sell and Henry Dutton, both Gover nors of. Connecticut,' and Edward J. PhelponceAratrian.M imstcre-England. FARMING FOR PROFIT.

Rankin, secretary of the State Board of Health, a copy of the following letter, which ought to be a source of gratification not only to Dr. Page but to every citizen of Robeson county: "Raleigh, N. C, Jan. 22, 1913. "Dr. B. W. Page, "Supt. of Health, "Lumberton, N, C. ".Dear Dr. Page: I appreciate very much your letter of January 20th and the fine showing in health work for Robeson county. The total of 990 deaths gives you a death rate of about 15 per thousand, or theaverage death rate. It will be interesting to note the death rate of Robeson under the vital statistics law, should it go through. I think your report is sim ply fine, it is all meat, an dyour last paragraph is convincing of its mean ing. I shall certainly give it a place in the next month's Bulletin. Reports like that not only mean something to the county, but a great deal to the State of North Carolina, and speak ing as a State official, especially in terested in the health of the State, I want to express my very deep ap preciation of your encouraging work. "I am sending a copy of this letter to your county paper, The Robeson ian, and Mr. Booker will use your re port as a basis for one of his regular newspaper articles.

"Free meat," proposed by the House Democrats at the last session of Congress, but blocked by a presi dential veto, was indicated as part of the extra session of Congress tariff revision programme at the hearing before the House Committee on Ways and Means today. Members of the committee emphasized the majority sentiment in favor of free meat and a strong trend toward free cattle, in accordance with the general policy of the Democrats last year to add the necessities of life including free su gar and free lumber. Protest against putting cattle and meats upon the free list was voiced by S. H. Cowan of Fort Worth, Tex., as spokesman for the cattle industry west of the Mississippi river. Mr. Cowan said that such a plan if adopted, would mean a flood of cheaper meats from the South American ranches and pic tured a ruin of the industry in Texas. He urged the committee to maintain a fair preferential duty on the Ameri can markets and said many importa tions of foreign cattle would come from Mexico and Canada and the Ar gentine. Two New-County Fights. Raleigh News and Observer, 21st. At least two propositions for the creating of new counties will be be fore the present General Assembly. These are the proposed counties of Aycock with High Point county seat, and Jarvis, with Dunn county seat. For the establishment of Aycock county, a bill was introduced in the House yesterday by Representative T. J. Gold, of Guilford. Aycock coun ty as now proposed, would include in its territory about one and a half townships of Guilford county, one township of Randolph and one-half township of Davidson. It would in clude the towns of High Point, Thom asville, Archdale, Trinity and James town and an area of about 200 square miles. The advocates of the new county soy the population of the territory includ ed is fully 20,000, the tax valuation $6,000,000 and that, on the basis of last election, it would be Democratic by 200 majority. The proposed new county of Jarvis would make Dunn, the biggest town in Harnett county, the county seat and would take some territory from Johnston, Sampson and Cum berland counties, besides a good slice of Harnett.

I saw, in Duluth, thirteen acres set out to head lettuce, on the farm of Mr. G. G. Hartley. In 1911 Mr. Hart ley had a net income of more than $9,000 from three acres of lettuce, shipping to Chicago after the Du luth market was supplied, and the quality of his product caused such a sensation among lettuce-growers throughout the Middle West that some of the most successful of them, after visiting Duluth announced their in tention of buying farms in the vicin ity. Mr. Hartley's farm and the Jean Duluth farm, with 600 acres now cleared and stocked with liOO pure bred Guernsey and Red-polled dairy cattle, Percheron horses, and Shet land ponies, are in a sense demonstra tion farms where the small farmer and market gardner have object les sons ever before them. World's Work for February. After all arrangements had been made for a battalion of South Caro lina troops to attend the inaugura tion of President-elect Wilson, Gov ernor Blease in a statement Monday announced he will not permit them to leave the State. He assigns several reasons, one of them being that he, a commander-in-chief, had not re ceived an invitation and that he will not let them go unless an invitation is extended. Another reason was that Editor Gonzales, of the Columbia State, would have charge for South Carolina and would be likely to place Blease in an embarrassing position.
