TOOK THE TOWN
?
f?H BnIk at Ererjr Pwat Mexicai
Federals Sarreukr Jaarez.
FOUGHT TWO DAYS
The Digest and Most Important of
the Mexican Revolution a Victory
for the Insurrectos.?Almost the
10ntire Federal Garrison Capitulates
After Two Days Hard Fitting.
Cindad Juarez, 'Mexico, is now the
provisional capital of that nation, and
Francisco I. Madero, Jr., provisional
President, and his staff have taken
possession after winning the bloodiest
battle of the Mexican revolution.
In the corner room of the barracks,
which for two days had held
out against the rebels, sits Gen. Juan
J. Navarro, the Federal commander,
a captive, having surrendered Wednesday,
with almost his entire garrison
of several hundred men. His
face is sunken, his head is bowed
and he does not talk, for the bitter
csting of defeat has disheartened him.
In another part of the town is
Francisco I. Madero, Jr., the conqueror,
surrounded by members of
liis family and staff, exultant with
victory, and anxious to make peace,
he says, with the Government if it
will deal frankly and sincerely with
the revolutionists, and without such
vague promises as "President Diaz's
mauisfesto."
The actual surrender of the town
by Gen. Navarro took place about 1
o'clock, Gen. Navarro giving his
sword to Col. Garibaldi, of the insurrecto
army, after the rebels had comletely
surrounded the barracks and
' ^atened to annihilate the garrison
within.
His eyes dimmed a3 he surrendered,
but Col. Garibaldi, with a hand
shake that besoke his admiration for
the bravo fight the Federal leader
had made, assured him of the desire
of the rebels to afford him every
courtesy. A score of rebel oflicers
rode up and extended to the Federal
commander their sympathy, as Mexicans,
for him and his men. There
is the same fraternal sentiment in
the hearts of the entire insurrecto
army, for their countrymen who
have been defeated, but everywhere
are heard words of opprobium for
President Diaz, whom they hold responsible
for the battle of Wednesday.
The town the Federals thought
impregnable to attack, fell after a
comparatively easy effort. The
liouse-to-house advance, the same
deadly fire which had driven the 1
Federals from their trenches early
Monday, when the skirmishing be- <
gan, gave the rebels an entrance to <
the town hardly molested by the ar- 1
tillery of the Federals. 1
At the close or Tuesdays lighting,
the rebels held extensive control
of the town. By the use of
dynamite and shells and fierce musketry,
they fought their way forward.
The insurrectos took the
church at midnight. The Federals
retired further into the city to tue
municipal building, the ed^cs of
..'hich were piled with sand bags for
a barricade.
After the attack was renewed,
early Wednesday, and the rebels had
brought their machine guns within
deadly range, the Federals retired
to the barracks and insurrectos by
the hundred occupied the houses
within 100 yards on every side.
Their fire was rapidly demolishing
the building. There was no other
alternative for Gen. Navarro but to
yield.
Shrapnel was being poured into
the hollow square of the barracks.
Many Federal cavalry horses were
killed. The soldiers crowded the 1
place to its capacity. Only a few 1
loopholes from which to shoot at the
rebels pierced the sides.
Finally Gen. Navarra hoisted a
white flag. He first attempted to
send a messenger to Senor Obergen,
one of the envoys of the recent peace
commission, asking him to arrange
for a cessation of hostilities while
an armistice could bo arranged.
Gen. Navarro stood in the doorway
of the barracks to receive Col.
Garibaldi. Federals and insurrectos
alike withheld their fire while the
surrender was being arranged.
The fighting soon ceased and attention
was direcetd to the dead and
wounded. The Federals, in their
humiliation, tore off thier visor caps
and uniforms, and, under guard of
the rebels, walked rejectedly in their
under clothing down the street to the
coral. They numbered about 500.
Wednesday night it was reported
ed that 150 of them had taken the
oath of allegiance to Gen. Madero
oath of allgiance to Gen. Madeio
and would join his forces.
Church bells were ringing, resi
dents of the town appeared in the
streets with sighs of relief, and the
lnsurrectos began a continuous uproar
of shouts. The rebels began to
collect thousands of rounds of ammunition
from the Federal barracks,
and they easily have made the most
valuable capture of the revolution.
They now have two mortars, three
machine guns and two field pieces.
Their ammunition belts, somewhat
depleted during the attack, are filled
again.
GIVES HIS REASONS
i ?
MAYOR GAYNOR TKLIaS WHY HE
UEIJEVES IN GOD.
Says He Cannot Help It.?Reading
the Hi hie Makes Him Content and
Charitable.
"You ask me 'Why do I believe in
the Father God?' " wrote Mayor
Gaynor, of New York, in a letter to
the Rev. Christian F. Reisner which
was read to a congregation that filled
Grace Methodist Episcopal Church in
West One Hundred and Fourth street
Sunday night. "Because I simply cannot
help it. I have absolute confiIt
soothes you and makes you condence
in Him and am willing to submit
to whatever He wills in respect
to me," the mayor wrote. His letter
continued:
"You also asks, 'What good comes
from reading the Bible?' The answer
is: "An immense deal of good.
It smoothes you and makes you content
and charitable. I might add,
that it educates you and gives you
a good literary style, but that is another
matter.
"Going to church gives people
steady habits and makes them prudent
and careful, and makes them
vote carefully. Church members
make a stable nucleus for society."
(Mayor Goynor's letter, which Is
quoted in full, was the shortest of
several read from the pulpit by Mr.
Reisner. The clergyman is asking
prominent officials and business men
to express their views about religion
in the most candid terms and making
their reading a feature of his
Sunday night services. Mayor Gaynor
answered three questions but
left unanswered the fourth; "Why
are you a church member?"
Ex-Lieut.-Gov. Bruce wrote that
he believes in God 'because God has
revealed Himself in nature in the
hearts of men, and in His word, as
the Father ot spirits, infinite, eternal
and unchangeable in His being,
wisdom, power, holiness, justice,
goodness and truth."
"I am a church member," wrote
Mr. Bruce, "because it is the duty of
all believers to publicly profess their
faith. I believe church attendance
is not only a duty but a privilege."
FATAL MISTAKE OF FH1EXDS.
Killed Wliile Trying to Help Catcli
Grave Robbers.
A trap laid by Harfield G. Conrad,
one of the wealthiest men in Montano,
and his brother, in which
hoped to catch the men who last
year stole the body of Harfield's son
from its grave in a cemetary at
Great Falls, resulted Wednesday
' t in the killing by the Conrads
of Joseph Hamilton, former sheriff
jf Cascade county, a friend who was
assisting the brothers in their plan
to capture the grave robbers.
Recently Conrad was notified his
child's body would be returned to
tiim if $ 1,500 was left beside a lan:ern
he would find burning at a lonely
spot on the Fort Benton road.
Vlaking 11 p a "dummy" package, the
Conrads proceeded to the place in
in automobile. Hamilton was to
follow on horseback and take the
;rave robbers by surprise.
Coming to a point where a light
was During some uisiance iroiu me
*oad they dropped their package of
rioney and proceeded on their way.
\bout a mile farther on they found
;he lantern burning by the roadside
ind realized they had made a mis:ake.
Returning to get the package
igain, they saw stooping over a figjre
of a man, who straightened up
with a gun In his hand as they approached.
Roth Conrads opened fire,
the man dropping at the first shot,
investigation disclosed the fact that
they had killed their friend Hom11

Remunerative and Unrcmuneratlve.
Irrigation works and all other projects
designed to benefit people cost
money. Some of them Individually
cost millions of dollars, but it is all
for the public good and the returns
come in the shape of material prosperity
and social blessings. To reclaim
vast areas of arid soil by irrigation,
and equally large areas of
swamp land by drainage is carrying
out the same policy as that seen in
making two blades of grass grow
where only one grew before, and in
getting a largely increased yield of
a crop from an acre.
The building of dreadnaughts and
other warships and the keeping up
of large armies, forts and arsenals
also cost immense sums, but humanity
is not enriched by it. On the
contrary it all means heavy taxation
and the withdrawal of hosts of
men from the productive activities
of life.
Again, works of public utility last
and their benefit goes down to succeeding
generation, but warships
become obsolete in a few years and
are then fit only for the scrap pile,
and their wealth producing value
amounts to nothing. In the present
stage of civilization great armies and
navies may be necessary, but as lh?
German ambassador to this counlrj
recently said, the time will corn*
when an umpire will settle interna
tlonal disputes as an umpire settlei
those that arise upon a base bai
field.
A PITIFUL STORY
A LITTLE GIRL SLAVE ESCAPES
FROM THE FIENDS.
Little Girl in Matron's Ward Tells
Pitiful Story. ? Earned Money to
Support Man and Woman.
One of the most pitiful Instances
of the white slave traffic ever brought
to light in Atlanta is the case of little
Nettie Lewis, a girl in knee
dresses, who until six months ago lived
on a farm near Winston-Salem, N.
C., says the Atlanta Journal. Snce
then she has been traveling about
the country, she says, supporting
two parasites, from whom %he attempted
to escape Innumerable times,
only to be caught, brought back,
cruelly treated and forced to continue
her life of shame for the gain
of her master and mistress.
The girl has been held In tie matron's
ward for the past three days,
while the Atlanta detectives have
been trying to apprehend the man
and woman, who brought her to this
city. Their efforts have been tutlle
and apparently both have escaped
from the city.
Here's the girl's story as she told
It in the matron's ward: "Six
months ago a woman, whom I have
known as Cassie Cobb, and her
friend, H. M. Burt, asked me to slip
away from her home for a few da>s'
trip to Charlotte. Cassie is from a
small town in South Carolina and
Burt is originally from Aberdeen, N.
C. I had known them only a snort
time, but I was tired of staying
h rvt?/\ o r* /I tlfQ nf O/l f A COO Ph Qrlflf 1 D
11 U 111 c a ii u n u 11 tvu tv/ uw vuui
"Sine? then I don't know where
we have been?all over Alabama,
Tennessee and Georgia. They traveled
as man and wife and I was Cassie's
niece. They forced me to go
out on the streets and make money
for them. They would always take
my money away from me as soon as
I got it. Burt said he was a horse
trader, but really he didn't do a
thing and the money I made provided
the three of us with clothes,
board and railroad fare.
"Sometimes I Would try to get
away, but they would always catch
me. Burt told me that he would kill
me sooner or later if I kept trying to
escape. Both of them cursed me,
and I was terribly afraid, because I
know that Burt would really kill me.
I have seen him beat Cassie terribly
time and time again, and one time,
when he knocked her down with a
chair, he accidentally struck me
during the fight."
The girl was brought to police
quarters by the proprietor of a local
hotel. On Saturday night she was
sent, out to the street by a woman, it
is alleged. Instead of going back to
[the Xeal house, where the trio had
been stopping, she went to the Cannon
hotel. There she met a married
woman to whom she told her story.
The woman kept her in the room
with her during the night and the
following morning informed the
hotel proprietor, who suggested an
appeal to the police. The girl went
to police headquarters voluntarily,
and will remain until the authorities
find a way to send her back to her
widowed mother, or until the capture
the man and woman.
Harvest of the Pistol.
Commenting upon a recent tragedy
in Georgia in which a man named
Lee shot and killed a man named Hilton,
the Savannah News quotes Lee
as confessing himself the "sorriest
man in the state," with his life blasted
and his family menaced with destitution?all
referable to the custom
of making gun play the arbitrament
of personal quarrels.
Countinuing The News says: "A
great advance will have been made
when it will not be thought to be
necessary to use deadly weapons in
the settlement of personal difficulties,
and every effort should be made to
bring about a public sentiment that
will condemn the use of the pistol or
shotgun in quarrels?quarrels of a
character common to every community."
Tli n Atlanta ennatituflnn snvs In*
public sentiment and slack enforcement
of law are the two factors responsible
for those tragedies that,
periodically, disrupt families and traduce
the state. Once the majority of
people make up their minds to the
fact that we are In the midst of fivilization,
and not in frontier days,
there will be a radical slump in the
homicide rate. The pity of It all is
the innate uselessnoss of relying upon
the revolver as the court of last
resort for trivial causes.
Here is a Georgian changed in the
twinkling of an eye from a respected,
law abiding citizen to an accused
criminal in the shadow of the gallows?his
family and that of the
dead man deprived of support and
protection. Had it not been for the
ever-ready pistol, this grim transformation
could not have taken place.
Smash the habit of pistol-toting and
of gun-carrying and the evil will be
i struck at its root.
> And the way to accomplish this re'
8UIt Is to send to the chaingang the
I man, white or black, who violates
* the law by packing around concealr
ed weapons. That, coupled with enJ
forcement of the law against men
convicted of wanton murder, will
I bring relief. In the end, such stern1
ness will be merciful, both to the
individual and to society.

WHO WILL WIN?
Spccabtioa u to the Nat Dtmcratic
CuMile f? PresMnt
WILSON GROWS STRONG
But Then There Are Governor Harmon,
Speaker Clark and William
Jennings Bryan Who Have to Be
Reckoned With, as They too Are
in the Game.
It is a long way to the Democratic
national convention of next ye^r,
and while many things may happen
in the meantime, there is no reason
that as the course of politics Is the
Woodrow Wilson movement is taking
hold of the various Democratic
strongholds with a remarkable rapidity,
says the Washington Times
Thursday.
It begans to looks as if the governor
of New Jersey would go to the
convention with the nomination nailed
down so securely that none of the
other aspirants would have half a
chance. Old politicians in Washington
express astonishment at the rapidity
of the spread of the sentiment
that Wilson is to be the Democratic
nominee.
It hag been only a little while
since the talk here was that there
would be a close race, in which Gov.
Judson Harmon, Champ Clark and
Gov. Wilson would be the participants.
Commenting on the presidential
situation the Washington
correspondent of the State says:
But as the situation stands now,
Gov. Harmon seems to be practically
out of the running. Probably Gov.
Harmon does not know this, and a
lot of his friends don't know It. But
the facts are hardly open to dispute
as a reasonable proposition of politics.
If there Is one thing that has
been made clear in recent weeks so
far as the Democrats and presidency
are concerned it is that no man need
expect to gain the nomination who
has opposition of William Jennings,
Bryan.
The largest simple influence in the
Democratic party today is Bryan.
Any man who is nominated against
the will of Bryan will be so certainly
knifed by the Bryan following that
It would be idle to nominate him.
Speaker Clark has the friendship
of Col. Bryan. And there is no doubt
that he is a strong political factor so
far as 1912 is concerned. If th" record
of the house in this session and
the next is such as to appeal to the
country. Mr. Clark will be strong in
the eyes of the country. lie has a
strong hold on the South, being a
Southern man himself.
But Eastern Democrats of the
progressive cast are friendly to Wilson.
and believe he is the best man
to make the race. This is the one
? i - o TIfil ? _ X il. A ^
element or wusons sirt'iigm. another
thing is that he has powerful
Southern support. He is even more
of a Southern man than Speaker
Clark. He was born in the South,
and thought he has identified himself
with the North, it is' a fact that
Southern Democratic look on him
with a peculiar liking.
The outlook now is that Wilson
will command the bulk of the Southern
delegates. Some even say he wili
well-nigh sweep the South. Significant
In this connection is the fact
that a recent conference of Georgia
Democratic leaders was held, a.id it
was decided that the Georgia delegation
would he thrown to Wilson
More Southern men go to Princeton
than to perhaps any other Northern
educational institution. Tt need
scarcely he said that this fact is going
to have an important beanm; on
the 1912 outcome.
Within the past week there have
come out for Wilson in the South
such newspapers as the Raleigh News
and Observer, the San Antonio Express,
the Pensacola News and the
Tampa Tribune.
The Atlanta Tournal has come out
for Wilson. The levi'ng Democratic
newspapers of Tennessee are for Wilson,
is the political bugleman of the
fact that his brother, Joseph R. Wilson,
is the political bugleman of the
Nashville Banner. It looks as if Wilson
would unquestionably have the
Tennessee delegation. Only the other
day Wilson made a great hit in a
speech in Norfolk, and he will have
powerful support In that State.
.Tosephus Daniels, editor of the
Raleigh News and Observer, who has
been in Washington recently on his
way from the meeting of the publishers
in New York, reports a tremendous
Wilson movement. He hae
come out for Wilson, and as his
newspaper has the following of the
Kltchin element in North Carolina it
may bo assumed this means North
Carolina is going to send a Wilson
deleagthon to the convention.
These are a few recent straws indicating
the trend of sentiment, with
respect to Wilson. Tt is hardly necessary
to say that Wilson has powerful
support in many of the Middle
Western States where progressive
sentiment is strong. The fact that
Bryan in a recent appearance in Desi.Moines
seemed to lean to Wilson ie
not without its significance.
It is true that Rryan as a presideni
tial possibility will not down. Recent
i reports reaching here are that in
many of the far Western States the

EIGHT BODIES FOUND.
In tho Ituins of BurnocI Theatre at

Eight bodies have been taken from}
the ruins of the Empire Music Hall
in Edinburg, Scotland, which was
burned Wednesday night. The .bodies
so far identified are those of
"Lafayette the Great" and two memhers
of his company. Alice Dale, V
who impersonated the Teddy Bear
Midget, and Joe Coster. Two bodies
are those of members of the orchestra
and three others have not been
identified.
Mrs. Dale and Coster were natives
of England. Layfette was a German.
Ho layed for twenty years in the
United States. During the past two
years he has been in Great Britain
presenting at music halls a spectacular
"turn," which introduced a horse
and dog. An attempt to rescue these
two pets cost the man his life.
* When the ruins wero examined
the actor's charred body was found
beside the body of his horse and a
heavy burnt timber across both
man and beast. The fire started in /
a mass of scenery used in the con- v 1
elusion of LaFayette's performance,
, which was of the spectacular military
pagent in which he represented
Lord Roberts and other celebrities
