(National News Association) WASHINGTON, May 31. Acting upon orders of the state department, U. S. Consul Letcher, at Chihuahua. Mexico, will seek an audience with General Orozco to protest against the proclamation issued by the rebel leader, criticising the American government for its alleged aid to Madero. The consul will also inform Orozco that American lives and property must
be protected or the United States will take forcible steps to guard them. The situation in Oaxica is serious. but strict censorship prevents accurate information. Jaurez reports no material change in the situation there except the feeling of increasing resenting on the part of the rebels toward Americans. Railroad communication between Juarez and Chihuahua is regular, but no further south. E TREES ON FEDERAL PROPERTY Postmaster Haas Will Regis ter Complaint Against L., H. & P. Co. A repetition of his recently proposed plan of placing all telephone, power transmission and other wires, now strung on poles, under the ground may be urged on council nertt Monday night by the mayor. Mayor Zimmerman this morning stated his views very plainly on this subject, saying that If he had a council with "any back bone" the wires would be placed underground and that he would back them up in their stand. The occasion of this outburst was the desecration of the two shade trees north of the post office building. With out notifying the postmaster that such a step was contemplated, two linemen employed by the Light, Heat and Power company stopped, near the postofflce this morning and climbed these two trees and nearly ruined them with their saws. Postmaster Haas was notified of the outrage just as the men had completed their work and made a vain effort to secure the local superintendent of the light and power plant to have the work stopped. The mayor arrived at this time, and declaring that the cutting of the trees was an outrage, said he would bring the matter before council. Mr. Haas stated this morning that he intended to get into touch with the federal authorities at once and advise the pushing of a case against the local company for trespassing and ruining trees on the Federal property. W. H. Guirl, Former Legislator, Ends Life. (National News Association) BRAZIL, Ind., May 31. The body of W. H. Guirl, former member of the ofW. H.

Mr. Guill disappeared yesterday after leaving a note at h.is boarding house in Clay City, saying he would never be seen again alive. Searching parties started out yesterday afternoon and the body was found this morning. Loss of property, grief over the death of his wife and ill health are given as the causes for his act.

The Cookbook. Apple fritters or fried apples go well with roast goose. A roast of veal will be greatly improved if it larded. This prevents its being Sry and tasteless when cooked. Stale macaroons, which can be bought cheap at the baker's, make the tastiest addition to pudding and custards if pulverized and sprinkled over the top. When cooking beets for table use try baking them as yon would a potato. They, retain all their Juicy sweetness and are much superior, to boiled beets and less trouble to prepare.

(National News Association) RUSHV1LLE, Ind., May 31. Dr. f. Victor Keene of Indianapolis, was the moBt important witness for the defense in the Paul Harris murder trial today. Dr Keene gave in detail the
test he had made of the blood stains that were submitted to him. These stains are important features of the case, and the theory of murder would be strengthened materially if the state could prove they were made by human, arterial blood. Dr. Wynn, of Indianapolis for the state testified that the samples submitted to him were made by human arterial blood. Dr. Keene for the defense, said that the samples he tested were not made by blood from human arteries. In order to bolster up its contention that Mrs. Harris, Paul's mother, was alive long after Paul Harris and the colored man, Culbertson, drove away from the home, tbe defense today offered the testimony of Mrs. Anna Bell, who operates a farmers' telephone exchange. The defense sought to prove by her that Mrs. Harris called her by telephone at 11 a. m. on the day of the Are. Mrs. Bell admitted, however, that she was not acquainted with Mrs. Harris and not familiar with her voice, and only knew that Mrs. Harris was calling because the party on the line said her name was Harris. On the objection of the state Mrs. Bell's testimony was ruled out. Dr. J. C. Sexton and Dr. C. H. Parsons, local physicians, testified that the blood stains were not made by arterial blood. USES MOTORCYCLE TO STOP Nervy Deed Was Witnessed This Morning on South Seventh Street. A nervy motorcyclist this morning put a. stop to the runaway inclinations of a team of horses, dragging a heavy farm wagon on South Seventh street toward Main street at a dizzy rate. The horses were hitched to a wagon which had been used in hauling household goods to a home on South Sev enth street near H street. The horses scared when all the load but a gasoline stove had been taken from the wagon. They started north on Seventh toward Main street with the farmer in hot pursuit. He was soon hopelessly outclassed by the speeding animal3. Near G street a motorcyclist saw the runaway. He put on speed and began a stern chase. At B street he ran beside the team, going at tremendous speed, and by quick work grabbed a rein in one hand, and controlling his machine with the oth er, brought the runaway team to a stop. Still astride his machine he led the horses back and presented them to their astonished owner who never had seen motorcycles used to stop teams before. The motorcyclist mounted his machine and rode away before his name could be learned. To Be Expected.

Roosevelt's Ananias Club. When told of the Colonel's statement today he said, "I cannot waste tme in discussing the vagaries of Roosevelt as he exhibits them in public statements. I knew and have known for more than two weeks that he intends to come to Chicago previous to the national convention, and that for that purpose quarters have
been engaged for him at the Black-, stone hotel. I cannot state that he ! has not 'changed his mind. That is aright he appears to always reserve. It i is impossible to say just what he will do under any given set of circumstances." In spite of the committee's refusal tor assign 250 seats to the Roosevelt supporters at the request of Senator Dixon Mr. New 6aid seats will be giv en Individually to such o fthe contin-1 gent as seem to be entitled to them. C, k A. ON VERGE OF DISINTEGRATION Report Says Receiver Is Expected to Be Appointed at Once. (National News Association) Springfield, 111., May 31. The Chicago and Alton railroad is on the verge of disintegration following the clos ing of its routes' into this city at midnight last night, according to general belief. A receivership for the railroad is expected to result. The railroad has been barred from Peoria by order of President Pinkey of the Peoria & Pekin Union railroad. Arrears of ninety days rent for use of terminals facilities, engines and equipment of the Peoria & Pekin railroad by the C. & A. was the cause for the order. As a result of the order no Alton trains mov ed on that line of the road today. The dissolution of the Alton and Its absorption by other lines will be the ultimate result of the drastic action taken by President Pinkey, according to general belief. DIFFICULTY OVERCOME. CHICAGO, May 31. Officials of the Chicago & Alton railroad today asserted that through the floating of a loan of $1,000,000 in New York temporary financial difficulties have been overcome and averted a danger of a receivership, which was predicted in a Springfield dispatch. The officers assert that the financial embarrassment was only of a temporary nature and that the property will soon be on a paying basis.

nancially by the automobile races at Indianapolis yesterday. Several hundred cars which passed through the city for Indianapolis during the three days preceding the races stopped at Richmond before continuing tbe last leg of the journey on the great National road. Last night the city was alive with automobiles. Hundreds of them nocked into the city enroute to Eastern points. Local hotels were hardly able to care for the visitors last night. Garages were unable to find places for all the cars of tourists remaining over night and at an East Main street garrage, twenty cars spent the night on the street, covered by tarpaulins. Hundreds of dollars were spent in this city by the tourists, who came from every state in the eastern part of the Union to see the classic Memorial Day races. Cars from Virginia and Vermont were seen and New Jersey
and New York were well represented. The national road is worn smooth and hard as a brick street from the continual grinding of the speeders. All day today Main street was filled with dust-covered cars driven by strange looking creatures, covered with mud, sand and grease. The speeders stopped long enough to eat and tank up their cars and then leave a gray cloud of dust in their wales as they went east at breakneck speed. No accidents except injuries to cars by breakage of equipment have been reported. THINK FOR YOURSELF. There is nothing which adds so much to the treasures of the mind and increases its power as its own thinking. Learn to think for yourself.

Tomorrow will mark the beginning of the muzzling order for the dogs In
Wayne county, including every canine in Richmond. The order was published yesterday but It is not legal because it was published on a public holiday. The city health officer's muzzling order calls for wire muzzles. The county health officer's order calls for muzrW but does not stipulate the kind. Tbe wire ones are best, however, states Dr. King, as the dog must have his mouth open which is possible with wire muzzles, and at the same time prevents him from biting anyone. i The killing of dogs will not be carried to extremes as it was the case during the last muzzling order. The police will see that each owner of a dog who does not comply with the requirements of the order for the next ninety days, the limit of tbe order, is hailed into court to answer for this offense. The fines will be heavy, for each day the order Is violated is counted a separate offense. Sheriff Steen and his deputies will be kept busy killing and catching dogs. The city police force will kill stray dogs, but those bearing checks by which the owner may be identified, will be caught and the owner arrested and tried for violation of the state laws In resisting a muzzling order legally ordered by the health authorities. . All today many citizens bewailed the fact they were dog owners. They climbed the stairs to the second floor of the city building and there dutifully gave up hard coin of the palm for a brass check for Fldo's collar. The remarks made against the city officials and the fact that they must muzzle their dogs besides buying checks for them, at fifty cents per head, will not bear printing. Over 170 checks were Issued today. No new cases of rabid dogs have been reported today.
