It was thought, however, there would be no necessity for a resort to arms in order to ‘bring the recaleltrants into ine. General Garcia Hidalgo today solved at Aguascualientes, capital of the state of the same name, a_problem which it was believed could not be done exceptywith the use of soldiery. One State Capitulates. Alberto Fuentes, the rebellious gov- crnor of the state, who had fortified himself in the palace and defied Gen- eral Hidalgo to remove him, at the last moment eurrendered today, and General Hidalgo took charge of the state government. This gives the pro- visional governor one more state and materially strengthens its position. Sonora a Hard Proposition. Governor Mayotorena of the state of Sonora is admitted to be in possession of Agua Prieta, Nacosari and Fron- te along the international border, and Governmor Ignacla Posquiera, his successor and personal friend, has for- tifled himself in the government pal- ace at Hermosillo and surrounded the building with artillery. To suppress this rebellion, the government'’s only available forces are a few regulars at Torin, but probably reinforcements will be sent from Guadalajara to Man- zanillo and despatched from there by Loat to the disturbed region. Another Arrest for Madero’s Death. The investigation which is being conducted by the court officials to de- termine the responsibility for the kill- ing of ex-President Madero and ex- Vice President Suarez resulted today in the arrest of Mariano Luque, a commonplace politician,who-is charged with being leader of the attacking party. President Huerta believes the dan- ger of intervention has disappeared, even if the time had arrived when the Ubpited States and other governments were almost ready to act to restore order.

A French humorous paper has been at paing te compile two parallel col- umns of verdicts rendered in the courts of France. And very funny reading they make, too. As a guide criminals the list should Dbe invaluable. Do you wish to love? Do so with all lightnees of heart. Joseph Frechet did it, and left the court without a stain on his charac- ter, though rather a big one on his knife. But a motor-car tire rosanct, as Madame Mare to would-be is eac- covered to her cost. Stic into that—and who has not temptation one time or other—ar it will mean four months’ hard labor. At least thatis what it meant for Mad- ame. If vour sense of humor is high- 1y devedoped you have quite a num- ber of ways in which you can give it harmless vent—harmless, that is, for yourself. Take the case of the gro- cer's apprentice who made a Jjolly bonfire in his master's shop. It cost | the master $10,000, but the apprentice had his fun for nothing. There was the asylum nurse who put a refrac- | tory patient in a bath of boiling wa- ter, and kept her there till par-boiled We really think that as carrying = joke a little too far, but the jury, no doubt, considered that the bounds of legitimate humor had not been passed, for they brought in a verdict of ac- quital. Husband-killing is no mur as you well know. Only the wife must shoot stralght. The Jjury does | not like a botched job. Thus, ame Bourdillon, who could do no bet- ter with a six-chambered revolver than shoot her husband in one of his biz | toes, got six monthe for her bad marksmanship. So dld Madame Sar- | raisn, and lucky to get off so lightly, for she missed her lover altogether. Again, there was Leon Douville, who tried to bite off his wife’s nose. He was condemned to eighteen months for his vulgarity. Another gentleman who had the decency to use a razor for the same genial purpose was, of course, acquitted. And the moral of it all is that if you must commit a crime let it be one which by its finish or its humor will appeal to the aesthe susceptibilities of jury eoF judge. Taming a Tiwbults, Twenty years ago when a small | party of French and Sengalese dared to enter Timbuktu, the meeca of African Moslems “welcomed the Strangers to hospitable graves” A/ relief party of 100 were massacred Larger forces came and the fanatic savages of Timbuktu were either tamed or buried. Last month there was a reunion of Hurcpeans in the tragic town. Four houses were marked with tablets to denote thaf they once sheltered men who dared enter the forbidden city. There are golf and lawn tennis clubs in the sub- urbs, horse ractng is a frequent di- version and steamboats plowing ths Niger river is a daily routine. “Ths pride of Islam” is thoroughly pro- faned, and the Trans-Saharan rall- road is heading into the town. By the beard of the prophet, the lid im off in Timbuktu!
