VISITS TERRE HAUTE

Former Ambassador to Mexico Shies When Asked His Opinion As to Outcome of European War.

Henry Lane Wilson, former United States ambassador to Mexico and for some time United States minister to Belgium, arrived in Terre Haute yesterday evening and spent the night at the Terre Haute house. He was to leave early this morning for Culver, Ind., where his family is spending the summer.

Mr. Wilson, while he denied that he had any official business in Terre Haute, stated that he was just finishing a Chautauqua tour and intended taking a rest. He said the last time he was in Terre Haute was to attend the funeral of the late Senator Voorftees. Mr. Wilson is well known, throughout Indiana, having at one time ownad a newspaper in Lafayette, Ind., and having lived in Crawfordaville and Indianapolis.

He discussed the Mexican situation at some length. That 500 school teachers would do more good in Mexico than 5,000 soldiers, was his opinion. What Mexico needs is evolution, not revolution, he said. His opinion of the policy to be followed was for the United States to take hold of some substantial leader and establish a government and then keep it on its feet until the process of evolution should be accomplished.

The United States, according to him, should do everything in its power to keep the European troubles in European waters, and should under no consideration allow the f/jht to spread to the Pacific ocean. Japan should be carefully watched, according to him, and should not be allowed to enter the conflict

By reason of the fact that he was minister to Belgium, he gave some interesting facts about the relative forces concerned in the great conflict which is being waged among the BuVopean countries. He is of the opinion tha^ England has split her expeditionary forces, and has part along the French frontier, while the remainder has been stationed in and around Antwerp. The smaller force is at Antwerp, he said, because access to that city now is easier than to the French frontier, and it would be little trouble to land another force to reinforce the Belgians before Antwerp.

He smiled when asked who would win, and smiled again when it was mentioned that Germany had a great army. While he admitted the power of Germany, he would take no sides and would express no opinion as to which would be victorious.

NEW WIRELESS TELEPHONE GOES 150 MILES IN FRANCE

Naval Officers Succeed in Perfecting Invention Tried Five Years Ago.

PARIS, Aug. 21.—By means of a wireless telephorie apparatus Invented by two naval officers, Commander Victor Colin and Lieutenant Maurice Jaince, conversations were carried on over a distance of 150 miles. The words came with greater distinctness, it is said, than is customary even over telphone connected by wire, the speaker's voice being clearly recognizable.

The inventors of the new apparatus succeeded' in transmitting speech by wireless five years ago. Their instruments were installed in the French battleships Verite and Justice, but they could not be depended upon, chiefly owing to the variable quality of the oscillations of the Hertzian waves.

By experiment the inventor Anally succeeded in overcoming the difficulties by means of an attachment which filters th waves. They declare that any number of posts can exchange conversation at the same time without interfering with each other, by slightly varying the respective wave lengths.

While antennas measuring 150 feet are necessary for long distance transmission, conversations can be received on the small apparatus which is used by many persons tc catch the Eiffel tower time signals-

Successful tests of an extensive character were carried out between Paris and a receiving station installed in a country house at Mattray, near Tours.

KEEPS RATTLESNAKE SKIN.

WICHITA, Kan., Aug. 22.—Hanging in the office of C. L. Davidson, at his home in this city is the skin of a big diamond-back rattlesnake which contested with the next congressman from this district the right to run the camphouse at the mines in which Mr. Davidson is interested in Arizona. Mr. Davidson won and hung his opponent's hide on the fence. The dried skin of the snake is four feet long and is adorned with thirteen rattles.

Mr. Davidson says that when he* returned to the house one sunshiny morning on the occasion of a recent visit to the mines, he found the rattler coiled up on the step in front of the door. It showed fight at once. Armed with a club, Mr. Davidson nd the snake went around and around for time, but a timely blow on the head finally finished the diamond-oack.

The skins of two other rattlers hang in Mr. Davidson's office, but neither of them is as large as that of the one. that tried to keep him out of his house.

ICI FRATERNITIES FOR CONVENT!

Seta Phi Sigma Members Will Go to Indianapolis, and Kappa Alpha Phis to Logansport.

Reports which Cover the careful study of high school and secondary fraternity questions will be featured at the eleventh annual convention of the Beta Phi Sigma fraternity, to be held in Indianapolis this week, according to information received last night by local members of the Greek letter society. During the past year, the fraternity has required a report of the grades the fraternity members have made in school and these reports will be gone over carefully, tl is expected that the final action in taking the fraternity away from the high schools and granting the charters to cities will be taken at the national session, which convenes Tuesday.

Terre Haute will have at least one candidate for grand office in the person of Curtis Fendergast, who has been announced as a candidate for grand treasurer. The local members expect to have little trouble in electing Pendergast for the office because of his wide acquaintance in the fraternity. William H. Sehaufelberger, of Muncie, Ind., present'grand treasurer, is a candidate for grand president J. G. McFarland, of Wabash, Ind-, and Harry R. Hardie, of Anderson, Ind., are candidates for grand vice-president John M. Cook, of Elkhart, will oppose Pendergast for treasurer W. J. T. Doyle, of Brazil, Ind., is announced for secretary, and R.

Many of the local members will make the trip in automobiles. The sessions of the fraternity open Tuesday morning with registration and a business session.

FIGHT A PITCHFORK DUEL.

PENNVILLE, N. J., Aug. 21.—A terrific duel with pitchforks was fought by John Pfarr and Jack Anderson, colored farmhands, on the farm of John R. Powers, in Lower Penn's Neck town ship, according to the county authorities, who have Pfarr under arrest and who are searching for Anderson, who is believed to have been spirited away by his friends.

The colored men quarreled over some old clothing Each grabbed a pitchfork and started the fierce encounter. Both were torn and gashed by the sharp prongs. Anderson, who is said to ha:ve been hurt the worse, is believed to have been carried off by some other colored men across the river into Delaware. Pfarr is being treated at the county jail for numerous wounds, but is expected to recover.
