As soon as' she recovers sufficientlv from effects . a fire in her room in the Public Service Company building this morn ing, warrants, it-is said, will be served on Mrs. Mabel Thompson, a well known and attractive young woman of this city, charging her with arson.

This was the fourth time that fire had started in the room; so Deputy Insurance Commissioner Scott, who was in the city, took the matter up with the police, quietly made an in vestigation and had the warrants is sued. - --' ' Big July Clearance Sale at Parks Belk Cos.

CARBAJAL SLATED TO RULE MEXICO Huerta Will Resifn and His Succes sor Will Be Seated. Washington, July 12. EveuU in Mexico are shaping themselves for a termination of the civil strift that has kept that- country 1 in, a turmoil and threatened at anolixne to pro voke war. with the United States. Gentral Huerta against whom the Constitutionalists have waked inces sant warfare fcince he overthrew President Madero IS months ago, has given up the struggle at last. Weakened by the failure of the United States to recognize his Gov ernment and cut off from financial support in Europe, he realizes th !big Constitntionalifet array augment ed daily as it presses southward, is at the threshold of the Mexican rapt, tal. Fearful that an invading army may commit excesses which wo ild endanger the lives of an innocent population and destroy property, persons influential with the man who has. dictated affairs in Mexico City at his own whim have persuaded him to abandon his hopeless position. Comprehensive messages to Wash- ngton diplomats from legations and consulates in Mexico City thus de scribe the situation. Within a few days, perhaps to morrow, General Huerta is expected o resign in favor of his newly ap pointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, Francisco Carbajal, until recently chief justice df the Supreme Court of Mexico. Difficulties between tho United States an dthe Huerta Gov ernment were composed at Niagara Falls. Huerta would leave the inter nal problem to be settled by hi suc cessor. Carbajal. it is expected, vroui-J bring the gap from the Huerta regime to a new provisional administration controlled bv the Constitutionalists. He has not been active in politics and is anxious for peace. HUERTA' S CABINET MEMBERS FLEEING Claimed That Provisional President Wfll Resien This Week And Leave. Vera Cruz, July 12.
