leto ! N: 119 NEW BERN, N. C, FRIDAY, MAY 39, 1913 SECOND SECTION 35th YEAR MEXICO IN WQRS E SHAPE THAN EVER Washington Asked To Pay Cost Of Getting Destitute Amer icans Away. SMALLPOX AMONG THE TROOPS Huerta Fall In Negations To Borrow Hundred Mil lion Dollars. Washington, May 26. Conditions In Mexico are reported worse. Small pox is epidemic among the troops of both the Federals and rebels in several northern States while some nouthern States are in a condition of anarchy. Smallpox has broken out in Cananea and Nogales, two places in Senora, where there are many Americans. These towns are mining centers and have been the scenes of many engage ments in the last two years between Federals and rebels. Such is the substance of a dispatch to the State Department from Ambas sador Henry Lane Wilson at Mexico City. The situation about Tampico, Mex ico, on the Atlantic coast, midway between Matamoras and Vera Cruz, is so bad that Americans are leaving. Many have applied to Ambassador Wilson for assistance to return to the United States. Conditions are quite as bad in the vkintity of San Luis Potosi and Aquas Calientes. There is no railway com munication between these points. The State Department has under consideration the sending of money to Ambassador Wilson to defray the expense of the Americans in the Tam pico and Aguascalientes districts in leaving the country. Most of them are destitute. Indications that the Amercan naval force in Mexican waters is to be main tained for an indefinite time appear in orders today to the battleships Louisiana, New Hampshire and South Carolina to relieye the Connecticut, Minnesota and Idaho, which have been at Vera Crux and Tampico for some time. President Heurta has failed to bor row 1100,000,000 from the French bankers with whom he was negotiat ing. The Mexican House of Repre sentatives refused to sanction the loan, and the bankers were frightened by a despatch from Gen. Carranza, leader of the rebles, who cabled to the rebel agents in France and England: "The unconstitutional Government of Huerta may possibly obtain a pre tended authorization from Congress to contract a loan with citizens of France. But as the entire Mexican nation has rLen in arm.-, repudiating the powers of the so-called Government of Huerta, serious difficulties might ensue, even war, in case the French Government, on the triumph of the mil itary "movement of which I am the first chief, should support demands for the payment of any loan made by Huerta." Raoul Madero, who is here with his sister, Angela, said that no member of the Madero family is taking part ia the present revolution, although against Huerta. Raoul Madero and Miss Angela came to Washington to attend the graduating exercises at St. Cecilia Seminary. Miss Madero had a friend ia the graduating olass.

FROST AT COVE CITY SMASH MASHERS,' HE URGES Washington Judge Says Women Should Protect Themselves. Washington, May 28. "Smash mashers" is the advice given to Mrs. E. E. Thomas by Police Court Judge Mullowny when he fined Richard O. Muller $25 for saying: "Oh, you pretty chicken," to her. "Women should protect themselves in the streets," said Judge Mullowny. "This woman did just what numerous others of her sex should do to ruffians who accost or try to flirt with them on the streets." Turning to the defendant Muller, Judge Mullowny said: "Always take a blow from a woman and run. Don't even wait for a blow." Mrs. Thomas, with whom he tried to flirt, beat Muller over the nose and mouth with a silver hand bag, breaking the skin at every blow. motorcycle while turning the corner of East Front and Short streets, was conducted yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock at the residence of his father, Charles H. Lee on A street in Bridge ton. The services were conducted by Rev. R. E. Pittman pastor of the Methodist church in Bridgeton, as sist 'd by Rev. I. W. Rogers, pastor of the Christian church in New Bern. A detachment from the Pamlico served as pall-bearers and a gun squad from the vessel in command of Lieut. Coffin accompanied the body to Cedar Grove cemetery as en escort. The services at the grave after the Rev. Mr. Pittman had read the ritual tf his church, were turned over to the Woodmen ut the World of which order the deceased was a member. When the grave had been closed and a wealth of flowers, including a very handsome wreath sent by the Woodmen had, been placed on the newly mound, the gun squad from the revenue cutter fired a salute of three volleys after which the funeral party slowly left the cemetery. leg. That death was instantaneous there is not the least doubt. The body fell to the ground after striking the tree and those who saw the accident say that there was not the slightest quiver. The machine was thrown a distance of at least fifteen feet and was so badly wrecked that it will be necessary to return it to the factory to be rebuilt Curious Spectators News of the tragedy quickly spread and within less than ten minutes there was probably two or three hundred people on the scene. Among these were many ladies and as usual a large number of small boys, all anxious to get a glimpse of the victim The coroner was summoned and upon his arrival made an examination of the body. He decided that an in quest was unnecessary and turned the body over to J. K. Willis to be pre pared for burial. Arrangements for the funeral were not completed last night but will be announced later. Forrest Lee is survived by his father nd mother, three sisters, Mrs. Dr. McCullen of Bridgeton, Mrs. D. W. D wdy of Wilmington, and Mrs. David Miller of this city, and four brothers, Carlos, Orville G., Whitehurst and Grant, all of whom reside at Bridgeton. LILLIAN HARRELL AT HOME AGAIN REPUBLICANS ARE GROWING HOPEFUL Much Rejoicing Over The Re sults Of Committee Meetings. PENROSE' HAND UNDER COVER Existing Condition Has Cleared The Republican Atmos phere In Washington. wasnington, May II. there is much rejoicing here among Republi cans over the results of the meeting ol the Executive Committee of the Re publicans National Committee.

The Munsey wing of the Bull Moose party sees hope of an "amalgamation of the Progressives and Republicans." By providing for a call of the Na tional Committee, with the prospect of a national convention next year, The Republican Executive Committee pleased many progressive Republicans. Senator W. L. Jones, a progressive Republican of the Cummins school, had much to do with shaping the work of the Executive Committee. He was assisted by National Committeeman Charles B.

DEATH AT ORIENTAL Mrs. Love Dill Succumbs To At tack Of Paralysis. A telephone message was received here last night telling of the death at Oriental of Mrs. Love Dill, one of the towns most highly esteemed and be loved women. Mrs. Dill and her husband moved to Oriental about fifteen years ago from Brooklyn, N. Y. At that time Oriental was in its infancy and there were only few dwelling houses and stores in the place. Nine years ago Mr. Dill succumbed to an attack of appoplexy Some weeks ago Mrs. Dill was stricken with paralysis and her condition grew worse slowly until tnc ena came ai 7 :30 o'clock last night. The deceased is survived only by a niece, Miss Love Kitcn ot unentai and two nephews, Herman Ritch of South Carolina, and C. T. Langley of Oriental. She was a member of the Methodist church and has been affiliated with every movement for the advancement of this denomination in that town. Arrangements for the fun eral had not been completed at the time the news was 'phoned to this city. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Harrell of Beaufort who ran away from her home on the afternoon of Sunday, May, 11, and who., was located at Savannah, Ga., last Wednesday, ar rived in this city yesterday morning where she met was by her father and the two returned home on the morning train. This case has attracted a great deal of attention all over Eastern North Carolina. From the hour of the young woman's disappearance the father of the young woman believed that she was endeavoring to reach Dr. J. T. Dixon, a resident of Waycross, Ga., and later developments proved that he was right. In an interview given a Journal re porter Mr. Harrell stated that Dr. Dixon had given his daughter in structions to go to the home of Mrs. E. C. Middleton at Savannah, Ga., and remain there until he called for her. The young woman followed his in structions but Mrs. Middleton read an account of the affair and proceeded to nip the doctor's plans in the bud bv writing to the young woman s parents and telling them that their daughter had arrived in Savannah and was at her home. The father "promptly sent money to defray her expenses in returning home. Mr. Harrell is in possession of in formation which may cause a man who is at present living in New Bern a treat deal of trouble. It seems that this man had a few weeks prior to the time that Lillian Harrell ran away from home, visited Waycross, Ga., and that while there entered into an agreement to get the girl out of this State for the sum of one hundred dol lars. Mr. Harrell believes that he plan ned the whole affair and assisted the young woman in getting out of New Bern. It is also known that the Waycross physician wrote to this man and en closed money to delray the young woman's expenses to Georgia. Dr. Dixon has a wife and several children and it is believed that his object in inducing the young woman to come to Geororia was to use her for immoral purposes. Mr. Harrell is naturally very much incensed over the affair and stated his intention of starting legal pro ceedings against all concerned as soon as he returned home and if this is done, Dr. Dixon and the man in this city who is implicated in the affair, will doubtless have an interesting time ex plaining their connections with it. It was learned yesterday that the attention of District Attorney H. F. Stawell would be called to the Harrcll- Dixon episode with the view of ascer taining whether the offense of the Way- cross man does not come within the purview of the Mann white slave act. A visitor in the city who does not court notoriety but who ts deeply interested in welfare work, procured a copy of the Journal to send to Mr. Seawell so that he might know the details of the affair. This party is very strongly of the impression that the The hand of Senator Penrose may have been busy, but it was under cover. For the first time in years he was not one of the "prominent men in attendance." Uncle Joe' Cannon, who thinks that the Republican party U as per fect today as it has always has been to him, and other stand-patters would not have given the Progressives a single sop. il they had their way. The fact that the Republicans think they are "getting together" has cleared the Republican atmosphere in Wash ington. Many countenances changed expression over night. The pleasure that the action of tl i Hilles committee gave the Munsc group was apparent when one of Mr, Munsey's followers said: "Anticipating what most people in both the Progressive and the Repub lican ranks regard as inevitable an ultimate amalgamation it is natural that both elements should put up the best showing of earne.tness and con fidence, harh will want to get as near as possible to domination when the time for united action comes. That is as natural as anything in human activities. In the larger view the very fact that both Progressives and Repub licans now display so much evidence of vitality and insistence is a good sign lor the luturc in which their minor differences will be buried in the pres ence of the more insistent question of serving the nation as it would be served." N. B. Lee, white, and Sheppard Taylor, colored, of Arapahoe, were placed under arrest in this city yester day morning by Constable John. H. Russell when they were found with four gallons of whiskey i their pros sion, this amount being' more than the Search and Seizure Law alhs either one dr tw0 persons to hirffcjn their possession at the time. v LeeL1 who is well known in New Bern having been mixed up in a previous " escapade in which whiskey figured prominently, is the owner of a gas boat which plies between this city and Arapahoe and Sljjeppard is employed with him. Yesterday morn'ng the two went to the express, office and Lee called and signed for a. package containing four gallons of whiskey which was consigned to Sheppard Taylor. Con stable Russell witnessed the transac tion and a few minutes later placed the pair under arrest and took them before ustice of the Peace S. R. Street for a hearing. The two men were not ready for a preliminary hearing and Lee gave bond n the sum of $200 ot his appearance next Friday while Taylor secured bail in the amount fo $150 for his appear ance at the same time. Taylor claims .that he had Lee to order one gal!3nof whiskey for him and did not know a thing aXirhe remain- ng three gallons which nwswll the pack age. Lee claims tnat ae aia not oraer the remaining three- galletrS but that the whiskey dealers sent it to him as token of their appreciation of his orders in the past." This version of the affair will be thoroughly investigated between the present time and Friday and the hearing which will be held before 'Squire Street promises to be an interesting one.
