AMERICANS HEAVY LOSERS Zapata Outbreak Grows Capital Is Nervoui Over Spread of Insurrec tion, but Madero Professes Confidence. Mexico City. The Madero Govern ment faces a crisis. The President and members of his Cabinet now admit the rebellion headed by Emiliano Zapata has grown to such proportions as to make it the most formidable menace yet faced by the present Government. The conduct of the campaign against the Eapatistas, now operating over a wide area, and the uprising at Juares. were discussed In a special Cabinet meeting. The President was not will ing to admit that the mutiny of troops at Juarez was directly connected with the Zapatista rebellion, and it was agreed that Pascual Orozoo and 400 men whom he has been ordered to lake from Chihuahua to Juarez would be sufficient to restore order at that point. Nevertheless the Juarez upris ing is more seriously considered than the officials here will admit. El Paso. With the stores wrecked ns completely as If a cyclone had struck them, the merchandise bedeck ing the mutineers or plied in their homo throughout the city and all rail roads cut to the Bouth to prevent troops coming from the national or State capital, the 500 mutinous Mexi can soldiers who took charge of Ciu dad Juarez spent the night rioting and looting. During the day they elected their own officers and then repaired to their barracks, drunk on liquor pillag ed from the saloons and with their pockets stuffed with coin and valua bles taken from the stores. Impassioned appeals from Judge J. D. Haff of Kansas City prevented the El Paso Chamber of Commerce from appealing to President Taft to send American troops Into Juarez i hold the Mexican border town until the Mexican Government could show its ability to preserve order and protect American citizens and property. The looters appear to have wrecked especial vengeance upon tho Amerlcnn curio dealem.

In attempting to put down the mutiny he killed Clprlano Torres, an Insurrecto, and was himself badly wounded in the head. He reach ed El Pnso by a circuitous route through the mountains.

Head FOUR SLAIN IN 1AWRENCE Two Men and Two Women Strikebreakers Murdered. FOREIGN QUARTER IN TERROR "Scab" Chalked On Door Victims Had Celebrated Uproariously the Return to Work Night Be fore Their Death. Lawrence, Mass. Terror prevails? throughout the French-Canadian col ony in Valley Street as tho result of the murder of four strikebreaking op eratives, who had returned to work In spite of threats made by members of the Italian colony In adjacent streets. In nil the foreign quarter tliwre is In tense excitement over the ciime, and only the presence and activity of the militia have prevented serious disord er and possibly interracial conflicts. The four victims are: Mr. and Mrs. JOSEPH SARVARIA. Miss ANNA TANGUAY. FELIX CONN. A fellow-countrywoman visited a three-story ramshackle tenement be tween Hampshire and Franklin sts., in which a dozen families of French Canadian operatives are housed. While passing the landing on the sec ond floor, she discovered blood coming from beneath the door of a throe-room tenement occupied by the Sarvarias who two days before returned to work In the mills. Shrieking in fright, she rushed from the house and told a group of tenants, gathered on the side walk. One of the men went up to the second floor and forced open the door. In the kitchen he discovered the bodies of two men und a woman with their faces slashed almost beyond re cognition. Ti an adjoining bedroom was found tl tody of the second wo man, who 1 id also been mutilated In most fiendish fashion. In an incredibly short time the crime became known to other Inmates of the house, who flocked Into the streets, hysterical with terror. One Canadian forced his way to ?ne front of the excited mob and In sten torian tones urged his fellow-countrymen to take reprisal upon the Italians in the adjoining section of the mill .district. Before the mob could act on this advice two companies of Infantry swept into the i rent at either end, and with leveled bayonets began to drive tho crowd to tho sidewalks and th,oa Into t.fce o.krhbnrln.: tenements.

In less than ten minutes after the murders were discovered, the streets had been cleared as if by magic, and members of the State and local Police Depart ments had entered the house and be gun an investigation to discover the identity c' ihe victims. The murders are a direct result of the inter-racial Jealousies In the ranks of the strikers. Since the arrest of Joseph J. Ettor, their leader, the strik ers have been divided into opposing camps, according to the nationalities represented. The Syrian, Armenian, Polish, Rus sian, Italian and Lithuanian strikers have remained steadfast, and for the most part refused to return to work. The Franco-Belgian, French-Canadian, and English-speaking people, who are the better paid classes among the op eratives, deserted in large numbers, and this fact aroused considerable rac ial hatred. Peter Sarvaria, uncle of Joseph Sar varla, informed the police that after his four fellow countrymen resumed work the door of the squalid tenement In which they dwelt was heavily chalk ed with the word "Scab."

Shippers attending the hearing re garded this agreement as the most important step ever taken In the direc tion of reform in the express service of the country, and us foreshadowing other reforms of a far-reaching char acter.

New Bethlehem, Pit. Ella I.alimer, a former employe of the postofficj here, Is alleged to have admitted that she is responsible for a shortage of j $i;,S00 in the accounts of Postmaster George L. Thomas. Vlil!e t he resi dents are eagerly awaiting develop menu, the young girl appears to have nothing on her mind but the fact that her father refused to al ow her to attend tho autoiiiobi'e show In Pittsburgh last week. The giii spent three days in assisting the postoffiie inspector in his Investigation. Other wise, It would prob ably have taken months to discover the amount of the shortage and the system used. Tho girl's salary was $:;2 a month. New Heihlelicm Is ull agog over the one and only sensation iu its history. "That postofl'ice shortage or $ii,snii is more than this town has lost by tire in 40 years," said one o'd resident. "What did she do with all tho money?" Is the question beieng gen erally askeed. Miss Latimer's friends explain how she disposed of the cash she Is alleged to have stolen. " 'El'," said one of her girl friends "was a mighty good fellow. Sin; was very independent and kept iu'i' p'i vale affairs to herself, but she was good to her friends anil to her family. She liked to (I less well and she kept her three sisters and a brother well dressed. They lived on tho best to be had and '101' fooled nearly aM of. the bills." Miss Latimer has not been seen on the streets of the town tor seveiul days. A close trieiid of the girl de clares that bhe is keeping secluded In her home because she hud been in formed that foreigners in th town, fenring that money orders they had sent to tin old country would never reach their destination, because Miss Latimer Is alleged to have taken them, have been making threats againet her life. Substantial citizens of the town de clare Miss Latimer's extravagance was often the salient feature feature of town gossip.

Postmaster Thomas declares tli fust I tiinatlon that there was some thing amiss with the accounts wan given to him In November, when the postoffice department in Washington returned him a report wnt in by .Miss Latimer, in which there was a $."U0 discrepancy, "When 1 received the report back from the department," said Mr. Thom as, "I made out one myself and sent It iu. This one was also returned. Then I cailed Miss Latimer's attention to It. She made up another report. The next thing I knew along came an Inspector with nil three reports and an Inves; lg.it ion was begun. "When she came down oil request, she assisted Inspector Thomas in go ing over the books. With one excep tion she recognized at iirst glance every monew order which Bhe said she had reduced when entering It upon the stubs. She also got out a set ol books in which she had kept account of tho money order business as It bIioiimI have been kept. Her extra set of hooks showed practically all she had t:iki -n. "Alter tho Inspector had concluded his examination of the hooks he ques tioiK'd her. 'How mg have you been carrying tirs ( ..." he asked her. and File siiid, 'F..' more than three years.' She w; f asked If she had taken any money when her father was post mas or. She said she had. She was a very shrewd girl and if she hadn't iiiiido that s'ip up In her report last November, 1 doubt if they would ever have caught her." Post master Thomas also declared that wh mi he bro'xo into Miss Lati mer's privte locker, he found a quantity ot mail addressed to him. suit by the posoffice department. .Miss I.alimer, who Is :' years old. had been an employe of tho postoffice for more tlmii six tars.
