PITCHED BATTLE
WITH MEXICANS
AT BROWNSVILLE
U. S. Troops and Carrnnzistas
Clash When American
Officer Is At
tacked ' "' 4'
SOLDIERS GUARD BRIDGE
BROWNSVILLE, Tex., Sept. 17.-Car-ranza
soldiers at Matamoros and Ameri
can soldiers engaged In a pitched battle
across the Wo Grande today. The con
flict was opened when the Mexicans fired
upon American soil, apparently trying Jo,
kill a peace officer petroling the Ameri
can bank of the river. Their shots killed
hi horse, buthe escaped and summoned
United States'Vavafry.
The Mexicans broke for cover when the
American troopers dashed to the river
bank, but half an hour later they re
appeared and fired eeveral volleys at the
Americana After BOO bullets had fallen
on the American aide the troopers re
turned the fire.
At 12:Q o'clock this afternoon the Mexi
can soldiers were still firing irom the
crush near Matamoros The American
soldiers had then taken up positions In
the trenches on the river bank and were
replying vigorously
News of the battle caused Intense ex
citement here. Troops were rushed to
the International bridge to guard against
any effort by the Matamoras garrison
to ruah It. Residents of the city turned
out to watch the battle.
WASHINGTON. Sept lT.-Dlplomatlc
and official circles this afternoon re
ceived Information that tomorrow's con
ference In New Tork between Secretary
of State Lansing and the Latin-American
diplomats will be very brief and will ac
cept without any change Csrranza's
countar-proposal to settle the Mexican
question, The conferees will agree to re
ceive a commission from the flrat chief
to "settle, entirely all matters of Inter
national scope affecting Mexico, Includ
ing the rehabilitation of, the country and
the payment of all foreign claims." If
this commission can meet the wishes of
the conferees. It Is stated, then Car
ranza can be assured of eventual recog
nition. Officials had no confirmation of
reported firing aeroas tho Texas border
today by Carranza troops, but It was
asJd that this, fact can hardly be blamed
upon Carranza, but rather upon the en
thusiasm of the Mexicans In celebrating
their Independence day.
FIVE MEXICANS KILLED.
It was reported that five Mexicans were
killed and one seriously wounded. The
dead and wounded were thrown Into a
mail wagon and carried to Matamoras.'
After the battle had been going on for
some time a Carranslsta officer was seen
riding toward the river from the dlrec
tlon .of Matamoras He wildly -waved a,
white handkerchief at the Americans
across the river who stopped firing. The
.Mexicans did the same. Then the officer
walked to the rlvar bank and yelled an
aiwlogy to the Americans, saying that
the Mexican aoldier who participated In
the scooting would be punished.

DIRECTOR PORTER AFFIRMS
BELIEF IN PROTECTION
Director George D. Porttr, irutiptnJtnl candidal for Mayor, today
ealltd upon the Rtpublieam of Philadilphla to rehabilitate the Republican
party In thli city at the election thil fall by rallying behind a Republican
who will lead an overthrow of gang rule. Director Porter taldl
"It hat been queitlohed whether I am a Republican or not. I did
tomethlng In catting my drtt vote that none of the ttlf-ttyled leadert
of the Republican party In Philadelphia hat ever done. In order to
cat) my fir it vote for William McKinley for Pretident, I abandoned my
vacation and traveled 1000 milet to come back home and vote.
"My drtt vote wat catt for a protective tariff. I have alulayt been
a Republican nationally.
"I have alwayt been a believer in the protection of American In
duttriet. I have alwayt been proud of the fact that I am a Republican.
But I am not a member of any gang organization. The only reaton
why I am not In the Republican Organisation in Philadelphia It becaute
the Organization it not the Republican party In Philadelphia. I alto
want to tay emphatically that I have never been a Republican for profit.
'The fact that I tupported Colonet Rootevell three yeart ago probably
will be raited. I tupported Rootevelt In 1912 becaute 1 believed that
Rootevelt wat a better Republican than Taft. Taft wat nominated at
the candidate of the Republican national organization. Rootevelt repre
sented the better element of Repubtlcant and the decent Republican
princlplf. That wat thown etpeeiatly by the people of Penntylvanla,
which It naturally a Republican State.
"If the Republicant in Philadelphia want to rehabilitate the Re
publican party they thould put a Republican in power who doet not ttand
for gang rule and control. Penrote, 'Dave' Lane, 'Jim' McNtchol and 'Ed'
Vare tell the Republicant to tupport their candidate becaute he repretentt
the party of Lincoln and McKinley. Lincoln and McKinley would turn
over In their gravet if they knew the kind of 'leadert' who claim to repre
tent their pajty in Philadelphia today."

VARE OUTLINES PLAN
OF ORGANIZATION FIGHT
Continued from Tage One
Intelligent to permit this new Influence
to sway them "
Senator McNIchol called Congressman
Vare a "white man" for withdrawing
from the mayoralty contest In favor of
Thomas B Smith "Harmony" In the Or
ganization is due to the hard work of
Senator Edwin II. Vare, he said He
continued, "Congressman Vare did what
only a white man would do I hope that
such a condition of severance as con
fronted us then will never occur again."
:" .-.... otmicu au aaaress
by calling the Blankenburg administration
an "experiment that failed." He predicted
an Organization victory. "First, because
iiuuuciiuuK is strongly Republican; sec
ondly, because of the absolute failure of
the present administration; and thirdly,
because of the failure of the Democratic
national administration.
BUSINESS MEN ANXIOUS.
"The business men are anxious to re
turn to the Republican party," he con
tinued "Philadelphia Is the first largo
city that wilt cast Its vote prior to the
national campaign The people want a
Republican victory next November be
cause It will be the forerunner of a na
tional Republican victory in 1916." Con
gressman Vare then outlined the three
ways In which the Organization campaign
would be conducted.
"The contractor Issue has been raised "
. 'on',,nued' "0ur opponents have
raised this cry because two of the mem
bers of our City Committee are Interested
in public contracts The records nt City
Hall show that these men during the
last four years have received more con
tracts than during any 10 or 12 years
before."
WANTS NO LATE FIGHT.
He urged the City Committeemen to
try to obtain for the Organization candi
dates a majority of the votes cast at the
primaries, "so that our opponents will
have no Incentive to continue the fight "
Thomas B, Smith, the Organization
"harmony" candidate for Mayor, was
lauded as a "typical Phlladelphiin" by
tho speakers. It was arranged at the
meeting to hold ward committee meetings
next Monday night to distribute sample
ballots.
The meeting was presided over by city
Chairman David H. Lane. He urged that
special attention be given the nonpartisan
billot by the Organization workers. "Get
out the biggest possible vote at the pri
mary," he continued, "so that the other
side will disappear. That will thoroughly
discourage anJ disconcert them."

His announcement came on a day sev

Samuel Allen, CO years old, an elevator
operator In the Hosklns stationery store,

Hospital this afternoon after being strick
en In tho store several hours before.
The forecaster predicts one or two de
grees lower tomorrow, and perhaps four
or five degrees less by Sunday.
But the real help Ib going to come
through a lower humidity. Today It was
(5, as contrasted with 92 yesterday and 93
the day before. But tomorrow Mr. Bliss
expects It to be down somewhere around
normal, 70 The change is going to be
brought about, he says, by the shifting
wind.
The southerly wind has been the cause
of moit of the trouble, but today it
shitted around to the southwest and to
morrow it will come direct from the
west. This will dry out the atmosphere
and drive old General Humidity from his
stronghold. Some wind Is expected also.
The mercury today touched 90 at 1

equaling tho record of 91 degrees made
September 17, 185S. This was tho second
hottest September 17 recorded here.
A fair breeze Is sweeping over the city
today. It Is from the south, and, there

the oppressive conditions. Its velocity
Is 12 miles an hour. Just twice the speed
of the wind yesterday.

CONVENTION HALL ,
PROJECT WILL BE
PUSHED THROUGH
Declared That Republican
Organization Now Will
Lend Support
MAYOR WANTS ACTION
First Definite Step Will Be
Taken in Councils Early
in October
The Convention Hall program wilt be
pushed through, by the Republican or.
ganlrttlon. It was learned today frflm
apparently authentic sources. Concur,
rent with this news It was stated that
the hall will occupy the Parkway sits
and not the 2Uh-Cheetnut-Market streets
site.
The first step will be to report the pro
Ject out of Councils committee. This
step, it is said, will be taken the first
Thursday In October After the plan i,
authorized, the decision as to the site
and appropriations will follow.
Quick action must be taken by Coun- 1
ells If the structure is to house the v a
tlonal Republican Convention in 191K. n '
the J1.500.C00 already voted for the work, ,
3-,vw nas Decn actually appropriated.
MAYOR READY TO AID.
"I will do everything in my power to
hasten the Convention Hall plans and
would be entirely satisfied with any on
of three sites. The Department of pUb.
lie Works is ready to act Just as soon as
Councils have their say."
Thus tersely did Mayor Blankenburg
outline his position and the position of
his Administration when asked about ti
projeot for which Jl.KO.OOO loan money Is
Avaunuic.
"At first I favored the site at the Green
street eptrance to the Park," continued
the Mayor, "but the cost of obtaining the
properties seemed prohibitive, and It
would take some time to obtain the prop
erty by condemnation. The estimated
cost of this site is about $700,000 and that
would only leave $800,000 for a building
that should cost 11,200,000.
"The site at 2th and Chestnut streets, is
desirable because ot Its central location
and its proximity to the railroad termi
nals. I am Inclined to favor It for this ,:
reason. I think this site would be the best ,
ot all.
"The Allegheny avenue site would alto '
be acceptable to me, as with Improved i
transit facilities It Is no further away ,
than was Glrard avenue 15 years era. .
Conditions will be still better when th .
new subway Is completed. The easy ac- ,
cesslblllty ot the location has been proven .
by the way In which the monster crowds . '
have been handled on public occasions at .
the temporary Convention Hall."
WANTS WORK STARTED.
"I am more than pleased that the pre
liminaries are to bo gotten out of the
way and would be glad to see the actual
work started. This city should have a
Convention Hall and any one of Its sites
suggested will answer the purpose. We
should have a hall In time to attract the
Republican Convention, but I do not know
If this will be possible. We might even
make a bid for the Democratic National
Convention If we had a proper building
to use as a bait.
"You cay say for me that I mean to
aid tho. Convention 'Hall plarf In every
way In my power and that action cannt
come too quickly to suit me."
Because of Its central location and the
promise of a galaxy of surrounding harnft
somo buildings, tho site on the Parkway,
Pennsylvania and Falrmount avenues and
21th street commends Itself as an Ideal
one for the hall. The national character
ot the building would not be diminished
by the fact that tho city dreams of a
"City beautiful" at this spot, which l
the entrance to Falrmount Park, MOO feat
from City Hall, the axis ot Philadelphia.
A plcturo of the future nould show the
Washington Monument standing at the
Green street entrance to the Park, the
firoposed Palace ot Justice, art galleries,
Ibrary and oper Imposing buildings clus
tered at the e trance; and among them
trould stand the convention hall, the
brightest jewel of the cluster. A broad
p'nia would stretch In front of the site,
-eautltul In Itself and practical, In that It
would leave room for additions to the
building. The site has an area of 150.000.
square feet. All objectionable building
are to be removed to conform with the
plans of the city to make the Parkway
section a show -place for visitors, and no
buildings will be allowed to face th
structure.

Th story of Mr. Bromley's alleged
romance, as told by the neighbors, covers
a period of more than nine years. Th
house, it Is believed, belongs to th
woman who lives there with a house
keeper. NEIGHBORS OFTEN BAW HIM.
Mr. Bromley wa a frequent vlaltor
tljere, and oftenwas seen sitting on the
porch with Mrs. Karst, for that 1 tb
name by which the neighbors knew her.
He always came In his automobile, and
if he visited there for a long time th
machine would return for him,
On several occasions, after he was
taken 111, It Is said, he was carried Into
the bouse from the machine late at night,
One afternoon about a month ago, when
rhumatlsm afflicted him, Mrs Karst and
her housekeeper aided him to the hoUs
from his mtchlne, according to on
neighbor. On this occasion, it was said,
he wa not seen again until late the next
afternoon,
The same neighbor also said the had

the funeral carriage which went to th

unnecessary In the cas of an unmarried
woman, except where it is believed that
another will U In existence, which might
have been the thought In the minds of
Mr. Kent and her attorney.
Mr. Meagher refysed to discus this
phase of th question, but admitted that
Mrs, Kart wa the woman for whom h
had lied the document and said he wa
satisfied that she wa Mr, Brpmley"
