He was sur- rounded by. his family when the end came. General..Huerta took office as provisional president of Mexico Feb, 19, 1913. Immediately on assuming of- fice President Wilson refused to recognize Huerta as the head of the Mexican government in spite of the fact that such recognition had been granted by Great Brit- ain. At the same time the Mader- istas rallied under Venustiano Carranza, governor of Coahulia, and Francisco Villa declared against Huerta. The climax came in April when a party of American bluejackets was seized at Vera Cruz and thrown into, jail, The Americans were quickly released, but Huerta refused President ‘Wilson’s de- mand for a formal salute to the jo cunsvout 8 88 sodirig pue sing reparation.

On November 23 President Wilson ordered the evacuation of Vera Cruz. He arrived in the United States | early in April 1915 ostensibly on a pleasure trip. On June 27 he was arrested in New York by U. S. secret service officers on a charge of attempting to incite a revolution.

He remained in jail until Decem- ber 28, when on account of the serious nature of his illness he was moved to his home in El Paso. : Death of Jesse Church. one of Bates County’s oldest citizens, died at his home five miles north of this city Sunday night, January 16, of the infirmities of old age.

Indications are the Navy De- partment, however, are that. ad- herence to the 32,000-ton ship of the California class finally will be decided upon by Secretary Daniels, although estimates al-| ready before Congress.are based on the larger craft. Opinions dif- fer among Mr. Daniels’s advisers as to the advisibility of increasing the size of battle ships, because of many limitations of yard facil- ities and channel depths. Some officials believe also that the power of individual guns should not be increased at the ex- pense of the total number of big guns carried. The California and similar ships will carry twelve 14- inch guns each. It has been figured by experts who favor the 14-inch weapon for future ships that a 12-gun_ ship will average 75 per cent more hits than an 8-gun vessel. The only advantage of the bigger gun, they say, is at ranges in excess of fif- teen thousand yards, and navy in- formation as to the battle in the North Sea. in which the German battle cruiser Bleucher was sunk shows that only 1 per cent of hits was scored by either fleet. The fight was at from fifteen to twen- ty thousand yards, and the Ger- man ships did much damage to the British battle cruicers, it is said, although they mounted only 11-inch guns against the 13.5-inch weapons of the British.

Snyder, of Joplin, and Walter, Kathleen, and Ruby Church. i Mr. Church hdd lived in pioneer days in Michigan, IMlinois and Missouri and had a great fund of interesting reminescenses of early days in those states. He was a constant reader of newspapers and was thoroughly. well posted on current events up toa short time before his death.
