tf. 8. SOLDIERS ON WATCH.
United States cavalry detachments are
, rtatloned at overy bridge and crossing,
and it every power and Imlgratlon plant
la this section, following reports that ad
dltionat bandit bands were forming and
' would shortly cross the Mexican border
to attempt revenge for tho killing of
General Orozco early this week by Texas
rangers. ,
Officers' in charge of theso detachments
reported today that a squad of cavalry
from the twelfth regiment engaged four
Mexicans thrco or four miles north of
here last night as they were on their
way to the designated meeting place. One
, of the bandits was killed. The regulars
suffered no casualties.
Martial law practically prevails through
eat Cameron County. Mexicans who have
taken no part in the bandit operations
are fleeing, in the fear that the American
posses searching for the bandits will
b$gia a campaign to exterminate all Mex
icans. Several women and children found
wsnderlng about on the verge of starva-
tlon have been cared for by tho posses
sad toldlers and assured thero was no
danger for them or their law-abiding
Utv
'Tb sinister "dead-or-allvo" order Is
banting over the heads of the half hun
dred Mexicans Implicated in the torture
and murder of the two Americans lato
Thursday. With 40Q United States sol
V ehi and nearly that number of county
sincere and armed citizens hunting them
; down. It Is regnrded as certain that tho
entire band will be either captured or
annihilated.
The bandits surrounded by soldiers In
the brush near Los Fresnos proved to bo
only a small detachment of the main
band, which has split up Into several
small squads, better to elude pursuers.
LABORERS WARN RANCHERS.
Many ranchors nlong the border have
received warnings, through their Mex
ican laborers, that their places are to
be visited by bandits. The majority,
awake now to the seriousness of the
situation, are well prepared, and the gen
eral Bentlment Is "let 'em come."
It Is believed that if a concerted dash
by Orozco's avengers is made, it will be
oter the old Alice stage coach road into
tan Benito. For this reason the guard
at that place, under Captain II. S.
t Hawkins, 3d cavalry, has been Increased
to 330 men.
The situation here grew more tense to
day, when it was learned that another
American had been killed at Eolnal,
where :0 Mexican raiders attempted to
storm aranch.
The troops ordered to tho border from
r Galveston yesterday began reaching their
g respective destinations today. Four com
t" innlei of the 19th Infantry were nearing
n Del Rio. Six companies from the same
Wftraent were expected to augment the
FrtSam Houston troops later today.

BEN WELCH DENIES '
SUNDAY PARTY TOOK
COL. KEEGANS LIQUOR
Defense Files Answer to Claim
for $3000 Damage to Houso
Evangelist Occupied Dur
ing Campaign
REPLY GIVES LIE DIRECT
A general denial that the "Billy" Sun
day party damaged the property of Col
onel Charles M. Keegan, at 1J14 Spring
Garden street, to the extent of 301S, as
alleged, Is contained In an am davit of
defense, presented to Court of Common
Pleas No. 4 today, by Ben T. "Welch for
Philadelphia Bvangellstla Committee, In
answer to Colonel Kcegan'a damage suit
The aflldavlt denied that liquors were
taken, as well ns the charges that the
Sunday party negligently allowed furni
ture to bo broken and different household
articles to bo removed from the prem
ises. "It Is untrue that numerous articles of
household furniture," tho affidavit de
clares, "which were In the premises at
tho tlmo tho samo were delivered under
the lease to the association were missing
when tho premises wero surrendered back
to tho landlord. It Is also untrue that
numerous articles which were perfect and
In good condition at the time the premises
wero leased were broken and destroyed
during tho occupancy of tho Sunday
party.
"IT IS UNTRUE."
"It la untrue that any large quantity
of glassware was missing and destroyed
when the premises were surrendered by
the defendant, except such as might be
damaged in the ordinary course of use
which was Jn contemplation by tho par
ties to the lease nt the tlmo the exorbitant
rent fixed therein was agreed upon. It Is
untrue that the fixtures and walls of the
houso were so Injured and damaged as to
necessitate numerous repairs. On the
contrary, they wero in tho same condition
when the leaso of the defendant expired aa
they wero when the house was first oc
cupied and only reasonable wear and tear
aras noticeable.
"The defendant denies that tho plain
tiff, Charles M. Keegan, was the owner
of the premises or of tho contents therein
at tho time they were delivered to he
defendant association. Tho plaintiff has
no beneficial Interest in tho premises or
contents which entitle him to bring this
suit on his own behalf."
After polntingjjut the technical faults
In Keegan's claim for damages, the af
fidavit questions tho valuation placed on
tho damaged articles by Keegan, on tho
ground that these values exceed the fair
market prlco for repairs. Tho defense
demands that the plaintiff prove tho dam
ago claimed for each and every Item.
LIQUOR LOCKED UP.
The 160 liquor Item claimed by Keegan
Is answered in a dental that tho bottles
of liquor "missing from the so-called
wine cellar r,oom" were In possession of
the defendant, "or that any person oc
cupying tho premises during the term
of the said lease, associated with this
defendant or In said premises by its au
thority, had access to or possession of
any of the said liquors in the said wtno
room cellar."
It Is declared that the said wine cellar
was locked, the key to it being In the pos
session of Colonel Keegan or his repre
sentatives. "Access thereto was at no time available
to the said defendant nor any of the per
sons occupying tho said premises with its
permission," the paper continues.
"The defendant further avers that if tho
wines, brandy, rum, whisky and other
liquors referred to by the plaintiff, which
were thereafter taken from either during
session was delivered to this defendent,
wre threafter taken from either during
the tenancy of this defendant or after
possession was delivered to the plain
tiff, tho taking of the liquors from the
cellar was either by the plaintiff or his
representatives or with his acquiescence
nnd consent and was not with the knowl
edge and consent of this defendant"

SITTING IN PARK COMES HIGH
"Flirt Court" Levies $6.60 Fine and
Girl Waits While It Goes for
Change
Falrmount Park has lost Its charm for
Paulino Klefcr, of 5229 Glrard avenue,
who Is out $10 because of Its attractive
ness, while the police aro searching for
a self-constituted "Judge and Jury"
which rendered a verdict against the
young woman.
Miss Ktefer, who Is German and doesn't
speak English very well, was sitting on a
bench at Strawberry Mansion when a
dapper young man passed by and smiled
at her. The young lady, pleased by tho
attention of a stranger, smiled In return.
But as tho youth passed on, without
the formality of introducing himself, four
other men stepped from behind a tree
and approached her.
"You are accused of felonious flirt
ing," announced the leader of the
quartet, displaying a brass star on his
coat. "I am Judge of the Flirt Court
of Falrmount Park and this Is my Jury,
and we are compelled to Impose a fine of
$6.50 on you."
Paulino protested In broken 'English,
but tho "Jury" solemnly afilrmcd tho ver
dict and insisted until she produced a
no bin.
''That's all I've got. Maybe you've got
the change? " she questioned, .longingly
handing the bill to the leader.
"I'll get it." was the quick reply, and
he hurried oft. So did the "Jury."
After several hours of waiting. Miss
Kiefer went to tho police of the 33th
street and Lancaster avenue station and
told them about It. Harry Clark, of 42d
street near Aspen, was arrested and
arraigned before Magistrate Boyle, but
ho was discharged for lack of evidence.

HOME MEANS MORE

TO CANDIDATE'S WIFE
Mrs. Thomas B. Smith, Mother
of Sturdy Boys and
Girls, in First
Interview
SHE IS
FOR
;
SUFFRAGE
Tho woman who will bo tho "first lady
of Philadelphia" in tho event of the elec
tion of Thomas B. Smith. Is going about
her household duties today at tho Smith
country homo in Glcnsldo absolutely un
perturbed by tho thought of this pos
sible honor, serenely happy In tho suc
cess that has come to her husband, but
in reality more imcjestcd In her children
than In tho ;naoraHy race.
When a visitor called at tho Smith home
a sturdy boy oW and anqther perhaps
two years younger wero walking over
the lawn, tho elder dragging a baseball
bat Tho faces of both wero flushed by
their youthful exertions In tho great na
tional pastime, and thero was no denying
that each was tired.
"Yes," said one of the lads, "mother's
home. Just wait a minute."
Forthwith ho lifted his voice In a call
that would have reached Mrs. Smith any
where In Glcnsldo. An nnswer In clear,
low tones came floating back.
"She's In," Bald tho sturdy youngster.
Tho Smiths' oldest child Is a married
daughter of 20. So It was expected to
find Mrs. Smith a woman of middle age.
Instead, there appeared a slim, dainty.
Elrlish-looklng woman. She was not the
oldest daughter-sho was Mrs. Thomas
B. Smith.
Graciously sho Invited tho reporter Into
thfl drawing room. She confessed smil
ingly that it was the first tlmo she had
been Interviewed, and also to an absolute-
lack of knowledge of what one
should do In the circumstances. Mr.
Smith entered a moment later.
"I haven't had time to think of the
duties that come to ono in the position
of tho first lady of Philadelphia." said
Mrs. Smith. "You see, neither my hus
band nor I really expectod that ho would
be tho party's choice, and really I have
made no plans of any kind."
Mrs. Smith was asked her opinion of
woman suffrage.
"I believe In It, of course," sho said,
"although I have never taken the tlmo
to study the question. But perhaps It Is
as much a matter of feeling as of 'knowl
edge. Suffragists are really born, not
made."

CAUGHT WIFE WITH LOVER;
KINTNER MADE HIM PAY
Pittsburgh Professor Ordered $5000
Annuity for Woman Ho Lost
PITTSBURGH. Sept. 4. Mrs. Samuel M.
Ktntncr. who ended her life In New York
bv swallowing poison yesterday, was tho
wife of Samuel Montgomery Klntncr. for
nicily n member of the University of
Pittsburgh faculty and later general man
ager of the National Electric Signal Com
pany, of this city. Both husband and wife
were graduates from Purdue University
and they married soon after they left
school.
It was during Professor Klntner's serv
ice with tho University of Pittsburgh that
the couple's trouble began. Mrs. Klnt
ner's name, first linked with two young
Bona of prominent families, finally becamo
closely allied with that of a rich manu
facturer. After several disagreements,
Klntner planned to trap his wife. Over
a telephone connected with his house lino
he listened to a conversation between the
suspected man and his wife, during which
an engagement was made by the couplo
to meet as soon as her husband left tho
city on a business tr)p.
Tho next day Klntner told his wife he
was going away for a few days and left,
ostensibly to take a train East. Instead,
he bided his tlmo until 10 o'clock that
AT the beginning of the war much comment was caused b; the edicts against vodka in Russia
z and absinthe in France. In a previous article it was shown that evils followed in the wake
of the vodka prohibition in Russia. The problem which France now confronts is one of regula
tion not of prohibition, it being generally recognized that absinthe is more of a drug than a drink.
TTRITING in the World's Work Magazine. Arno Dosch in
v terviewing a French officer, quotes him as follows: "You
must understand at once," he said, "that our struggle for tem
perance in France is different from the struggle in England and
the United States. We have no intention of attempting prohibi
tion. There is nothing of Puritanism in our movement. We are
not interested in making the French people a race of teetotalers.
It would not be possible and we would not care to accomplish
it if it were."
T N this series of articles it has been pointed out, from no less
Jln. ?uthority tha" ex-President Taft, that if nation-wide
prohibition obtains there is no law to prevent the manufacture
of liquors in one's own home. Now France has no prohibition,
but that country, making its liquor in many cases in its homes,
cries out for regulation. Still quoting the French officer we
learn;
uaiuc. ngain ict mc rrencn oracer speax:
rPHERE is in Paris now a drinking place for every forty
L adults. No large city in the world offers as many oppor
tunities to drink as Paris. In comparison with the population
j-ana uas. cicven annxing places wnere toan .Francisco has eight,
Chicago four, New York three and London two. This number
will have to be decreased, and it will be done by license. There
we encounter questions of revenue and of individual right. It
will tak - a long time to solve these problems, but we will end
by controlling the sale of alcoholic drinks in France. We shMl
not entirely forbid the drinking of alcoholic drinks. If we were
seeking to attain prohibition, we should fail The spirit of the
French people would not permit it"
T S it not a FALLACY te say that Prohibition will solve the
J- liquor problem, when the FACT is that the true solution Iks
in regulation? And the Brooks Law, in Pennsylvania, regulate
and legally controls every drop of alcoholic beverage that is soU
in the State. Where Parte has one drinking place f-r every 4
adults, Philadelphia has one fr every M askik. Or, wtt in
another Tj?.'1- Iw Bvwr M Wd,l ?: vtvry

Klntner brought his suit for divorce last

SUIT AFTER RAIL TRAGEDY
Laurel Springs Crossing Crash Sur
vivors Sue Railroad
Congressman John R. K. Scott and
William T. Connor, representing Mrs.
Ella Flnkle and Julius Stteber, both resi
dents of Garden Lake, N. J have en
tered suits for damages against the At
lantic City Railroad Company for Injuries
sustained In the accident at Laurel
Springs, N. J., last week, when an ex
press train struck tho carriage In which
they wero riding, killing two of the occu
pants, one of whom was Mrs. Finklo's
husband.
According to tho attorneys tho accident
was duo solely to the negligence of the
railroad company In falling to provide
eutliclent warning of the train's approach
or providing safety guards at the cross
ing. Kali
r acts Versus
Fallacies
FACT is a real state of things. FALLACY is an appar
ently genuine but really illogical statement or argument
lr UR problem is also complicated in a way from which you
S are free. Alcoholic drinks vtrrr- marl fri1v In h -min-
try for family consumption. That phase is going to lead to the
most b tter fight we have to face. All Northern France makes
alcoholic drinks from grain and fruit, which are drunk by all
members of the family. . . . They drink strong liquor in all
this part of France as the Midi drinks wine. It is so cheap no
one need go without a drink. Its cheapness is its danger. But
every time the discussion arises as to whether it would not be
better to prevent home-distillation, all Northern France rises in
protest and declares it a movement to sell the liberties of the
people to the rich syndicates. Nevertheless, home-distillation
must be controlled. It is really only the cover for an illicit traffic
in liquor. It makes every farm a bar."
TN America, and in Pennsylvania particularly, where the
Brooks Law regulates and controls the sale of alcoholic
beverages, we already have reached the state of perfection that
is now sought by France in her attempt to regulate the liquor
