COLLFjGE STATION, Tex., Jan. 4 —
With the acquisition of an exceptionally
well bred young bull to be placed at the
head of the Jersey herd of the Agricultural
ajid Mechanical College dairy farm arid the
recent purchase of four fine young regis-
tered Jersey heifers from Jackson, Mich.,
dairy experts at the college say that the
herd will soon be superior to practically j
LAREDO, Tex., Jnn. 4.-
Nuevo Laredo battlefield was a day of
labor instead of rest, notwithstanding the
route of the Constitutionalists, who, are
encamped between thirty and thirty five
miles down the river preparing to continue
the attack against the city. The Federals
worked to strengthen their defenses.
The actual loss of life may never be
any herd in the Southwest. The herd now learned from one side or the other. Both
is composed of good Holstelns and Jersey:?,
and cows that are not making money are
rapidly being weeded out.
Prof. J. \V. Ridgeway of the dairy de-
partment and II. C. liols, superintendent of
the dairy farm, are laying the foundation
for a registered herd. There are now 204
head in the college herd.
Three cows have just qualified for "reg-
istry of merit." u distinction that Is
reached by only D per cent of the Jerseys
in the Nation. These are all young cows
and one of them, whose sire was Wanderer
of St. Cloud and whose dam was Applause
J'hedora, has established an exceptionally
fine record. She started her record at the
age of three years and two months and
has produced In eleven months of lactation
7,(500 pounus of milk, testing 4.9 per cent
butter fat or about 445 pounds or butter.
She has one more month to work and
probably will make about 475 pounds of
butter us a 3-year-old.
The college authorities are planning to
make the college dairy farm a model to
be studied aud followed as nearly as pos-
sible by students of the dairy husbandry
department. To that end, only pure bred
stuff will be bought in the future. Three
young calves bought from a Michigan
farm cost $.150 per head.
The young bull is sired by a son of
Champion Hying Fox and is out of a
daughter of Foxhall's Jubilee that will
make 825 pounds of butter on registry <»f
merit test with this, her third calf. The
dams of the two young heifers both were
registry of merit cows.
Although the milk from the college dairy
is sold to the mess hall at 25 cents per
gallon, this department of the State Insti-
tution is accumulating a good surplus each
month after all expenses are paid.
The dairy farm has two big 200-ton
silos aud experts attribute much of the
success of the farm to that fact.

RUE PERSONS HIE KILLED M
NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—Shifting winds
late today counteracted the violence of
the sens which had battered the shores of
Now Jersey and Southern Long Island for
more than thirty-six hours, tearing away
long stretches of beaches, inundating
towns, destroying piers, hotels and resi-
dences aud causing a property loss esti-
mated tonight to be in excess of $,'300,000.
One man dropped dead from excitement at
Seabrought, N. J., and two men are re-
ported missing at Coney Island.

sides attempted to minimize their losses,
but conservative figures placed the total
loss of life at 300 and an equal number
or known wounded.
Federal forces were busy today throw-
ing up earthen breastworks at points out
fine of the city limits beyond where the
two days' battling took place, with the in-
tention of forcing any future engagement
to a point distant from the city proper.
BURNING THE) DEAD.
Several large fires Friday night gave
rise to statements that Federal forces in-
cinerated their dead. One person who
claimed to have visited the battlefield,
stated this was done by placing layers
of wood, saturated with kerosene, then a
layer of bodies, again saturated wood and
bodies, the whole neing covered with wood
and coal and the bodies consumed. On the
other hand this was denied. It was be-
lieved by some that the inciuerated bodies
were those of Constitutionalists.
During the Constitutionalists' assault
In endeavoring to gain entrance, two au-
tomobiles were utilized to deliver ammuni-
tion. Both were struck by Federal cannon
balls and demolished.
A skiffman, while attempting to smug-
gle ammunition from the American side,
having evaded the border patrol, was rup-
tured by a concealed Federal force upon
landing on the Mexican side. Ills skiff
was broken, ammunition seized and the
skiffman hanged to a tree
The United States Immigration officials
have their embarrassments as a result
of the battles in Nuevo Laredo. On Thurs-
day prior to the opening of hostilities
thirty Syrians who had been residing on
the Mexican slrle, being unable to enter the
United States owing to tracoma, a conta-
gious eye disease, were from humanitar-
ian motives given refuge in the immigra-
tion buildings on the American side. Ef-
fort was made to return them vesterday
aud again today, but the Mexican govern-
ment authorities -would not permit them
to enter, excluding them on the same
grounds as the United States authorities.
AMMUNITION IS SEIZED.
Twelve thousand rounds of ammunition
s»iu to have been destined for the Consti-
tutionalists was seized In the railroad
yards today. Three men in the vicinity of
the car were taken into custody, but as
they could not be connected with the ship-
ment were released. The ownerless ammu-
nition is in possession of the Deputy Mar-
shal.
At least 1*>0 severely wounded and desti-
tute Constitutionalist soldiers are being
cared for in temporary emergency hospi-
tals in this city, while it is reported that
many are housed In small Mexican huts
scattered along the river for in lied to the
southeast.. No organized force has had
charge of caring for the wounded, except
doctors and charitable w«meii who vol-
unteered their services. Therefore an ap-
peal has gone to the American Red Cross
organization at Washington asking that
some one be design,* ted to take charge
of the situation and that the army authori-
ties be Instructed to render aid" and fur-
nish any necessary supplies.

his family were brought to this side by
the American consul, who is keeping them
at a hotel at an expense of $10. a day.
Several San Antonians were today wit-
nesses to an inhuman act on the part of
] several Federal soldiers cast of the city,
where barbarities were practiced Friday,
j They found a dead Constitutionalist body
| submerged and lodged against some wil-
. lows In the river. They dragged the body
i to the bank, robbed it of shoes, clothes
Sunday on the i and ammunition belt, and kicked it bnck
into the water and watched it float away.
The train from the north this morning
was crowded, many of the passengers be-
ing Mexicans who entrained at San An-
tonio. Many of them carried suit, casts
bulging from the weighty nature of the
stuff concealed in them. A confirmed re-
port comes from Webb in this county
that. 12,000 rounds of rifle ammunition was
seized there Saturday and confiscated.
A visit to Nuevo Laredo this afternon
revealed an orderly condition. The dead
bodies have been disposed of and business
resumed generally. But t.herp is no relax-
ation on the part of the military. Addi-
tional breastworks are being thrown up
several hundred yards beyond the old en-
trenchments, especially at the points where
the most determined assaults were made
Thursday and Friday.
Consul Garrett has taken up with the
State Department the disposition of twen-
ty seven Syrians and two Chinamen who
have been detained at the American end
of the bridge since the morning of the
attack on Nuevo Laredo. This afternon
an attempt was made to send them back
to Mexico, whence they came, but the
Mexican authorities at the south end of the
bridge refused to re admit them. They are
aliens and '-an not legally be admitted
into the I'nlted Stales, consequently the
Immigration inspectors will be forced to
guard and feed them pending instructions
from Washington. The case is said to be
without parallel In this country. Most of
the Syrians are suffering with tracoma, a
contagious eye disease, which debars them
from admission.

TANK STEAMER GOES DOWN
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 4.—The an-
nouncement that President Wilson's policy
probably would remain unchanged after
John Lind's trip to Pass Christian, is a
source of disappointment to most foreign-
ers and many Mexicans, who believed the
interview between the President and his
personal representative might result In
some definite step to put an early end to
the distressing conditions, which so far
as business is concerned, are fast growing
acute.
To official Mexico, while outwardly Mr.
Lind's visit to the Persident was of little
significance, the apparent determination
of the United States still to keep Its hands
off, is knowu to be highly gratifying. As
ono official tersely• summarized the rela-
tions with the United States, "the best
Mexico can expect of Washington Is to be
let alone to work out Its own problems."
In spite of the critical financial outlook
the administration appears to bo highly
optimistic. President Huerta regards the
flotation of a foreign loan as far from a
vain hope. The premature announcement
recently of assurances from the Mexican
Finance Minister, Sen or de la Lama, now
in Europe, that he had succeeded in in-
ducing the acceptance by English and
From bankers of bonds amounting to
is now explained as an incor-
rect interpretation of the code used in the
cablegtam The Finance Department.,
however, declares the minister's efforts
are progressing favorably and there is
reason t believe he will soon be success
ful. The banking situation shows little
liuproveui' ut and the scarcity of coin for
ordinary i iding Is working hardships on
retailers particularly and business men
generally.

Foreigners Warned.
VERA CKl'Z, Mexico, Jan. 4.—Vneasl
1 ness Is growing here on account of the
j increase iu the number of Constitutional-
ist. bands operating In the State of Vera
Cruz along both the Mexican and the In-
teroceanlc Ballroads connecting the port
of Vera Cruz and the capital.
Several <u •••essful raids have been made,
one twenty-five miles from Vera Cruz and
TRINIDAD, Colo,, Jan. 4.—Acting under
orders from Adjutant General John Chase
today, a detail of the State militia met
"Mother" Jones on her arrival here from
El Paso, ordered her to return uboard the
train and accompanied her as far as Wal-
senburg, the limit of the military zone.
"Mother" Jones purchased a ticket from
this city to Denver. She offered no remon-
strance.
The military authorities had learned
that "Mother" Jonas intended to stop ut
Trinidad to exhorl the strikers, and deem-
ing her presence undesirable in the city
General Chase ordered her deported.
Should she return, said General Chase to-
night, she will be arrested by the military
authorities. The presence at the station
here of more citizens than militiamen on
the arrival of "Mother" Jones led to an
early report that the citizens themselves
had deported her, and the soldiers' pres-
ence was to prevent her from unnecessary
indignities.
STRIKERS ARK ANGRY.
The deportation of "Mother" Jones
caused much anger on the part of the
strikers and strike leaders here tonight
aud there were many urgent requests for- ;
warded to Denver that she return to Trini- |
dad at once, assuring her protection from j
any number of troops or citizens. Several
strike leaders, including John McLennon, |
I president of the Colorado Federation of
Labor, were at the station when "Mother" I
Jones arrived, but the military officers (
would not permit her to speak to any of j
them.
"Where are you going?" Captain Smith
in charge of the detail asked her when she
stepped from the train.
"Mother" Jones looked at him and the
soldiers, hesitated a few minutes and re-
plied, "1 am going to Denver."
"Let mo see your ticket," demanded the
officer.
"I have none," she replied, explaining
that the left the train merely to buy a
ticket at the station ami continue her Jour-
nev to Denver.
Accordingly the officer with several sol-
diers accompanied her into the depot,
where she bought a ticket for Denver and
was escorted back to the train.
CITIZENS KEPT BACK.
At Walsenburg a group of strikers and
union officials met the train at the depot,
but they were not permitted to see "Moth-
er" Jones.
General Chase had advised the detach-
ment of troops there that "Mother" Jones
would pass through Walsenburg, and their
military command was marched to tb*
station, where they held the strikers at
some distance from the train.
The union men contented themselves
with singing their "battle cry" during the
minutes the train stopped at the station.
After the deportation. General Chase
made public the following statement:
" Mother' Jones was met at the train this
morning by the military escort acting un-
der instructions not to permit her to re-
main in this district. The detail took
charge of Mrs. Jones and her baggage and
she was accompanied out of the district
under guard after she had been given
breakfast. The step was taken in accord-
ance with my Instructions to preserve
peace iu the district The presence of
'Mother* Jones here at tills time cannot be
tolerated. She had planned to go to the
Ludlow tent colony of strikers to stop the
desertion of union members. If she re-
turna she will be placed in jail and held
Incommunicado."

Western Federation of Miners. Much ores tentlary were given a conditional pardon

Mr. Mills believed a general strike If
called would not be confined to the metal
workers and miners of Michigan, but
would be general In Its broadest sense.
The calling of a NaMon wide or State-
wide strike of the Western Federation
would rest with the federation executive
offieers, but the call would be Issued
probably bv the American Federation of
