LIND IS IN PORT; WILSON TO ALTER MEXICAN POLICY

Believed Radical Change Is to Follow Conference Today. HORRORS IN TWO BATTLES 500 American Troops Ready to Arrest and Disarm 4,000 Huerta Men When They Start Stampede Across River. El Paso, Tex., Jan. 2. —It is reported here that the federals at Ojinaga have surrendered. The wires from the front have been interrupted nearly all day and details of the last hours of the fight are entirely lacking. Pass Christian, .tftss., Jan. 2. —The opinion of men on the inside is to the effect that John Lind’s mission is ended and that a radical change in the policy of President Wilson’s administration with regard to Mexico will result from the conference the executive will have with Mr. Lind. Mr. Lind was expected to reach Ship Island during the day on the cruiser Chester. The revenue cutter Winona awaited him at Ship Island until evening and then steamed back to Pass Christian. At Mr. Wilson’s cottage it was said later a fog had delayed the president’s special envoy on his trip from Vera Cruz. When the Chester finally reached Ship Island the Winona again left Pass Christian to bring Mr. Lind ashore,. Not to Re-enter Mexico. Immediately after the review of the Mexican situation between the president and his envoy, Mr. Lind will leavfe

Texas, Jan. 2.—After a merciless attack wf three days by General Ortaga’s G.OOl) rebels at Ojinaga the northern division of the federal army of Mexico, with its eleven generals and i,mil) private soldiers, appear to be on the verge of fleeing in disorder across the Rio Grande into the Fnited States. At the same time 500 Fnited States cavalrymen were stretched along the border under orders to surround and disarm the invaders if they sought refuge on the Texas side.

The Ojinaga battle, attended with horrifying scenes of death and injury, was declared to have in store only one possible result, the flight of the whole federal army to American soil. Expect River to Stop Rebels. With a line of straggling Mexican wounded at the border to indicate the extent of the carnage and deserters appearing in numbers, Maj. M. N. McNamee, commanding the United States border patrol, made every plan in anticipation of the flight. The ability of his Fifteenth cavalry men to disarm the foreign soldiers was oh the assumption that the rebels wopld pursue the federate merely to the river.

Report 1,000 Wounded. An estimate of the wounded on both sides was 1,000. Most of the wounded were left on the battlefield. The less disabled succeeded in reaching the river and were cared for by the Red Cross on this sidfe. 200 Die in Another Battle. Laredo, Texas, Jan. 2.—Mexican constitutionalists directed a terrific assault against Nuevo Laredo, held by federgls. Red Cross workers reported they had found more than 200 dead and many wounded. Yhe use of machine guns op both sides accounted for many deaths. The first onslaught was indeterminate, the constitutionalists retiring.

My Career

By EDNA WOOLWORTH

In these days poor girls fit themselves for a life of labor because they expect to be obliged to support themselves, and wealthy girls—at least some of them—because they don’t relish a choicebetween matrimony and idleness. I belong to the latter class. One autumn not many years ago I, then twenty yea* old, thoroughly imbued with the, belief that all men were selfish and ifi wedded the man I married would take me for my fortune and, having spent it. desert or ill treat me, decided to go to the city and prepare myself for a career.

I belonged to several societies in my native town, one of which was di - ed to the cause of temperance Qur badge was a bit of blue ribbon .tied in the buttonhole of the men members and somewhere oh the corsage of the women. I was an enthusiastic advocate of the temperance cause and always wore my colors. The day’ I alighted from the train on my quest for a career a young man with a pleasing face and as pleasing a smile on it stepped up to me and, taking from me a satchel I carried, said: “Here you are. Cousin Bess!” Now. riiy name happened to be Elizabeth. Had it not been so I should have probably told the young man that he was mistaken in the person. As it was, I thought for a moment that some of my numerous cousins living in the city whom 1 had never seen had got wind of iny coining. and had concluded to meet me. ' /' - “You are”— I asked. “I’m Ned Olcott. We received your letter mentioning the blue ribbon. Everything is prepared for you. We have succeeded in getting a position for you in the High school. You’re to teach history. I believe that's what you wanted, isn’t it?” We were moving with the throng and by this time had reached the station exit. There was something’so ingenuous, so kindly, as well as dignified, in the young man’s face and manner that my heart went right out to him. I was seized with a curiosity to know What lie would do with me. I hesitated a few moments whethefr I would inform him of bis mistake or delay. Meanwhile he called a cab. and the driver came dashing up to the curb. “Are you sure?” I began and stopped “Quite so. Mother said I was to bring you straight home. Get in.” I yielded. After all, was not this a relative? At any rate, I would act for awhile as if he were. Perhaps he was. He drove me to a modest dwelling standing well back from the street, with very white curtains and some well polished Grass at the front door. An old lady, with a lovable face and snow white hair, backed by two young girls, received me, welcoming me with a kiss.■ ■

“Why. Cousin Bess,” exclaimed the elder girl,.“how you've changed! You don’t look at all as you did when we played together ten years ago.’’ “Elizabeth must be tired and hungry. Helen, show her to her room. Dinner will be ready in half hour.” I was glad to escape, for that time at least, from my equivocal position. Helen left me to think over what 1 should do. 1 had gone so far tlmt any course I might pursue would result in mortification: I would not be able to make these kind persons believe that I had been drawn into their brother’s mistake. 1 -was sure there was a mistake. for just before going upstairs I had been asked how I had left my stepmother, and I had no stepmother. I was too confpsed to make much of a toilet. I employed my time trying to think of a way out of my dilemma. Not finding any way to suit me, I resolved to await a favorable opportunity to make it appear that I had been taken up by relatives that I had never seen. When the half hour had passed 1 went downstairs, and there in traveling dress stood the real Bess, the mother, the son and the two daughters regarding her as if not knowing what to make of her. As I entered the room they looked at me, equally dumfounded I saw that the denouement had pome. 1 noticed that my double wore a blue ribbon.

“Which of you is Elizabeth?” asked the mother. “Elizabeth what?” I asked. "Elizabeth Stanton, of course.” “I am Elizabeth Elliot,” I said. “And I am Elizabeth Stanton,” said the newcomer. For a moment I affected to be much puzzled, then said: had my doubts about the gentleman beidg my cons in, but f have relatives in the city 1 have never seen and supposed he might be one of them. But since my arrival I have come to believe a mis take has been made.” “You took away my escort,” said the other Cousip Bess, smiling, “and I have been obliged to find my way here aloneA 1 see yon wear the blue ribbon agreed upon.” “That is a society decoration.” I in formed her. ‘Young ladies.” said the mother, “dinner is waiting. Come and partake of it, both of you.” That was not the last dinner I took in that bouse by any means. Indeed. I now go there frequently because the old lady is my mother-in-law and her daughters my sisters-in-law. The real Bess is also my friend. She has followed the career of a teacher, and 1 was turned from my intention, to come a wife and mother.

SMITH KNOCKS OUT PELKEY AT FRISCO

Canadian Takes Count When Gunboat Lands. WOLGAST GO IS STOPPED Referee Gives Cadillac Boy Credit for Knockotit When Redmond Is Seen to Be Helpless—Results of Other Battles. San Francisco Jan. 2. —There were no knockdowns in the Gunboat StnithArthur Pelkey fight until the fifteenth round, and then two in succession brought victory to Smith. The round was still young when Smith, after breaking from a clinch, let fly a full sweep right for Pelkey’s jaw. It was a blow that Pelkey had avoided probably half a hundred times by ducking or allowing his head to roll in the preceding, rounds. But this time the Gunner reached the mark squarely and the Canadian sprawled under the ropes at the ring edge. He tried to gather himself together and directly he arose he lurched toward Smith, intent onclinching.

Smith dealt him a downward chop with the right on the bafck of the head and Pelkey measured his length on the floor for a second time. Game to the last, Arthur tried to run a race with the timekeeper, but was not properly on his legs before the fatal word “but” sounded. Fully 8,000 fans gathered within the inclosure before time was called for the first preliminary. The fighters met in the dressing room at 2 o’clock and shook hands cordially. They eyed each other closely, Pelkey towering above his smaller opponent. Pelkey announced his weight at 205 pounds and Smith said he weighed 180 pounds. Ad Wolgast Wins. Milwaukee, Jan. 2.—Ad Wolgast had a runaway match with Jack Redmond, his old enbtny, and got a complete revenge for past suffering at Jack’s hands by beating him so severely that the referee ftopepd the fight in the middle of the 'fifth round and gave the Cadillac boy the credit for a knockout. Redmond broke Ad’s hand some years ago in Milwaukee and started the series of misfortunes which included Ad’s appendicitis. The fifth round finished the agony. Wolgast continued to rain blows upon Redmond’s almost helpless body, and Referee Stout stopped the bout. Cross Halts Anderson. Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 2.—Leach Cross, the Broadway dentist, has redeemed himself on the coast. With his terriflic right he laid Bud Anderson, the Oregon boy, low in the seventh of what was to have been a 20round go here. Welsh Given Shade Over Dundee.

McCue Shades Bresnahan. Racine, Wis., ( Jan. 2. —Battling fiercely, Matty McCue could do no better than gain a very slight shade over Tommy Bresnahan, the stalwart Pittsburgher.

Sydney, Australia, Jan. 2.—Eddie McGoorty, the Oshkosh (Wis.) middleweight, knocked out Dave Smith in the first round of their scheduled 20-round bout here.

GRANDPA AND ME.

MY grandpa says that he was once A little boy like me. . I s’pose he was, and yet it does Semn queer to think that he Could ever get my jacket on Or shoes or like to play With games and toys and race with Duke, As I do every day. He’s come to visit us, you see. Nurse says 1. must be good And mind my manners, as a child With such a grandpa should, For grandpa's very straight and tall And very dignified. He knows most all there is to know And other things beside. So, though my grandpa knows so much, I thought that maybe boys Were things he hadn’t studied— They make such awful noise. But when at dinner I asked for Another piece of pie I thought I saw a twinkle In the ,corner of his eye. So yesterday when they went out And left us two alone I was not quite so much surprised To find how nice he’d grown. You should have seen us rontp and run! My, now 1 almost see That p’raps he was long, long ago A little boy like me! , —Round Table.
