MEXICO’S FATE TO BE DECIDED IN NEXT MONTH if-eace of Republic Is in Peril as Election Day Approaches. BV WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Srripps-Ilow ard Foreign E ditor WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.—Tiie next, thirty days will be fateful ones tor Mexico. With less than a month to go before the national convention meets to nominate a permanent successor to Alvaro Obregon, the murdered president-elect, only unwavering vigilance can prevent revolution The danger comes from lour welldenned directions at once: The religious element; the old reactionary, or Porfiro Diaz, crowd; the labor group, and a faction of the Agrarians. If by any change two or more of these groups could combine to make common cause against the government, the situation would be dark indeed. For Mexico, at present, is more Vulnerable than she has been in years. She has a temporary president, a stop-gap government. Obregon. regarded as one of the two strongest leaders modern Mexico has produced, recently was removed by an assassin’s bullet, and the other strong man. former President Calles, has retired to private life, leaving Portes Gil. a newcomer and a civilian, to carry on as chief executive until next February. Country in Danger Thus Mexico may be said to be crossing a stream whose waters are swollen and treacherous while enemies are sniping her from the banks. Luis Morones, former secretary of .industry commerce and labor in Calles cabinet, and head of the Federation of Labor, is sulking in retirement. He felt he had been largely responsible for putting Calles in power and there is reason to believe he aspired to the presidency, later on. himself. Anyway, he vigorously opposed Obregon's candidacy and when Obregon was elected he and his followers swore. vengeance upon him. So when it was learned that the young religious fanatic, Jose Toral, who shot Obregon. secured his weapon from a laborite. some of the agrarians denounced Morones as the murderer’s moral accomplice. Civil War Averted Morones resigned from the cabinet. Several other labor officeholders followed suit. A general call was issued for all such to quit the

It Was a Touch NEW YORK. Feb. 15.—When a poorly clad old man shuffled into a cigar store here, David Kran, the clerk, thought he was going to make a “touch.” He did, walking out with S4O, obtained at gun point.

; government also, and a vigorous attack against Portes Gil was ! launched. A dangerous rift appeared in the | forces governing the republic and ; there was tal£ of civil war. But once again ex-President Calles stepped into the breach and, v.uth the more moderate Obregonlstas, called on all patriotic Mexicans to rally behind the president A clash was averted. Then came the trial of Toral. He was sentenced to death and last, Saturday he died facing a firing squad in the prison courtyard. He ; fell in the middle of his cry; “Long live Christ, the king!” Throughout Torahs trial. President Gil charges, the principal newspapers of Mexico City made a hero of Obregon’s slayer and further, he i says, in their stories of the executioi* the youth was portrayed as a martyr, thus inflaming still more the already overwrought religious element, which naturally sided with Toral. * Following the execution. President Gil. Sunday, narrowly escaped death when his train was blown up near Mexico City. Another train was bombed and wrecked near Colima and reports from Vera Cruz indicate that armed groups of Agrarians are collecting in that region, while agents move among them urging them to rebel. Heavy guards have been thrown about the homes and offices of Mexican leaders. President Gil has issued a proclamation announcing that the property of those who take part in revolutionary activities against the government will be confiscated and divided among the peasants. He charges that certain big interests in the country are behind the trouble, using the more ignorant masses as cats’ paws. PLANT SHADE FOR HOGS Novel Arrangement of Trees Will Be Used at 101 Ranch.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

hunger strike has just been learned and considerable interest has been aroused, particularly among the obese, because through fasting he has lost fifty pounds. Conrad, an agent at the interurban station here went on his hunger strike after a revival meeting declaring he would fast until “the devil has been cast out of every sinner in New Hampshire.” He weighed 200 pounds when he passed up his first meal. Three weeks later he tipped the scales at 170 and today he weighed only 150. A Conrad's father, a grccer at Russell Point, quotes his son as saying he will not eat “until the devil has been cast out of his father and every sinner in New Hampshire.” It requires more than a century for a cedar tree to grow large enough to yield a thirty-foot telephone pole.

I am glad to let others know what a good laxative Black-Draught is. It clears up a dull headache, and makes me feel like a hew person.” Thousands of other men ana women find Black-Draught of great help in relieving common ailments, due to constipation, biliousness and indigestion.
