FOB HARBOR BILL
House Takes Off $2,500,000 From Ap
propriation As Reported By
Committee.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16—The House
yesterday cut off $2,500,000 from the
Rivers and Harbors bill as reported
by the committee. A hard fight is
being made by the administration to
hold the approrpriation down and the
members of districts in which no riv
er work is done are aiding the presi
dent while the coast congressmen
threaten to fight the appropriations
desired by interior congressmen for
postoffice buildings if the rivers bill
is cut.
Members of congress are anxious
to provide for work in their respect
ive districts because' of the hard
times and because it would greatly
strengthen them for re-election. Many
of the Democrats who are retiring,
but hope to come back in two years,
are fighting for appropriations be
cause they must get them before
March 1 or never.
The! administration, however, is
very anxious to hold down the cost
of government and has given orders
to all department heads to cut off
all unnecessary employees.
GUIIERBEZ GETS
HIS JOB BACK
Villa and Zapata Representatives Re
appoint Him As Provisional
President.
EL PASO, Jan. 16—The convention
of leaders representing the Villa and
Zapata factions have reappointed Pro
visional President Guiterrez as lead
er of Mexico. It was thought by
some that Villa would favor Gen. An
geles to succeed Guiterrez, as he is
an educated man, a graduate of the
Chapultepec Military Academy, the
West Point of Mexico, and is looked
upon with favor by the American ad
ministration.
It is believed, however, that Gen.
Angeles will be elected to fill the
unexpired term of office left vacant
by the death of President Madero.
This elec*’on, however, will not take
place until Carranza is severely beat
en and his opposition crushed.

RANG NIGGERS
. TO POLE IN STREET
Atlanta Citizens String Up Father,
Son and Two Daughters for
Immoral Conduct.
ATLANTA, Ua., Jan. 16.—A negro,
his son • and two daughters were
lynched in a small town near here
last night. The mob dragged the
negro family from the hut In which
they lived and hung them to the near
est pole they could find and then
riddled the bodies with shot.
It is charged that the moral con
duct of the family would have shamed
even the people of Sodom, when the
wrath of God was turned against the
city because of its iniquity.
The authorities will make an In
vestigation but as usual it is ex*
pected no one will be punished for
killing a “nigger.”
