March 14.—Gen oral Carranza has consented to have American consuls look after the inter ests of foreigners in parts of Mexico under control of the Constitutionalists where their own governments have no consular representatives. Where there are such representa tives he suggests that, even where their governments have recognized Huerta, these consuls may unofficially communicate with him without involv ing their governments. Also, he sug gests his willingness to listen and heed any applications made to him directlv by the friends and relatives of for eigners whose lives or property may be threatened and to make investigation of every case and to punish anv of his followers who may be culpable. This is the substance of a tele graphic report made to Secretary Bryan to-day by Mexican Consul Sini pich, at Nogales. Villa Wants Presidency "Villa, the one-time bandit, will be the next president of Mexico. That is his ambition, and despite all reports to the contrary ft will remain his am bition until he either is dead or presi dent.'' This declaration was made to-day by a friend so close to General Villa as to give authority to the assertion. It was prompted by reports that the go ing to Chihuahua of General Carranza, recognized as the civil head of the revolution, was to bring about con ditions more satisfactory to foreign governments. It was stated em phatically that the coming of Car ranza is not to lessen in any way the power now wielded by Villa, who for months has been a dictator.

New Pastor of Dallastown U. B. Church Meeting With Success in His Work * Hi s iSpf^, THE REV. C. C. MILLER By Special Correspondence Dallastown. Pa.. March 14. For eight weeks the borough has been stirred with evangelistic work such as has not been the case since the days of the Rev. John Young, over twenty years ago, and it has all been due to the Rev. C. C. Miller, the new pastor of Bethlehem United- Brethren Church. While not an evangelist in the full acceptation of the term, as he has sim ply been a pastor since he entered the ministry twenty-three years ago, the Rev. Mr. Miller's Sunday evening ser mons to his own congregation are evangelistic in character, and on ac count of his plain, unvarnished talks he carries a personality and force for the greatest possible good. The eight weeks' service, with triple sermons on Sunday, were never equaled here. They .closed this week with decisions for a better life from eighty-two per sons, twenty-six of whom were men of years, mostly married and heads of families. A like number were women —wives of the men —and the balance young folks, few under the age of 15 years. At a men's special service over 1,000 were present and at a like meet ing for women over 1.500 —never such gatherings in the history of Dallastown. Most of those converted have asso ciated themselves with the United Brethren Church, though no influence was used by the pastor, church affiliation being left to themselves. He has established an "instructive Bible class" for every Friday night with seventy-five members, largely of the converted, and a mens personal work ers' league has been formed to work among the unsaved and follow up the -esult of the revival meetings. The Rev. Mr. Miller came here from Coue maugh, Cambria county, last Fall, suc ceeding the Rev. L. Walter Lutz, now at Chambersburg. Deaths and Funerals BRING ILVEHXLEN HOME The body of J.

Curtin, a resident. physi cian at the Harrisburg Hospital, used the same method In saving the life of Mrs. Mary Sweitzer. who tried to end her life by taking sixty-eight grains of the poison. Mrs. Sweitzer was brought to the hospital on March 4. She was uncon scious. Attempt was made to wash the poison from her stomach with the stomach pump. The usual test indi cated that the stomach was freed from poison. But Dr. Curtin was not sat isfied, and got two quarts of milk. When he tried to wash the stomach out with the milk, something that had never been done before, he obtained results which indicated that much 01 the poison was not removed from the stomach by the first pumping. Milk was used in washing out the stomach until it was cleared of the poison. The woman regained .consciousness. In addition to the use of milk in washing out the stomach, Dr. Curtin used sodium phosphate and has con tinued to use it daily as a purgative to eliminate any poison from the sys tem. He used soda benzoate of cafein to stimulate the action of the kidneys so that the poison that had gotten out of the stomach into the kidneys would be thrown off at once. This prevented degeneration of that organ. To-day Mrs. Sweitzer sat up for four hours. Yesterday she sat up two hours, and is growing stronger each day. She will recover unless unex pected complications result. The poi son symptoms have been eliminated. Yesterday the statement of Dr. Thomas A. Carter, of Chicago, was made public that he had discovered a cure for mercurial poisoning. The "cure" as given in the announcement is practically the same as that used by Dr. Curtin ten days ago.. Dr. Carter says he has cured four out of six pa tients by his method.
