Rebel Soldiers Start Pillage and

AMERICANS HEAVY LOSERS
Zapata Outbreak Grows Capital I
Nervous 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 Emlllano 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 Zapatistas, 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 Orozco and 400
men whom he has been ordered to
take 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
as completely as If a cyclone had
struck them, the merchandise bedeck
ing the mutineers or piled in their
homo throughout the city and all rail
roads cut to the south to prevent
troops coming from the national or
State capital, the 500 mutinous Mexi
can soldiers who took charge of Clu
dad Juarez spent the night rioting and
looting. During the day they eleced
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 yalua
bles taken from the stores.
Impassioned appeals from Judge J.
t. Haff of Kansas City prevented the
El Paso Chamber of Commerce from
appealing to President Taft to send
American troops Into Juarez 1 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 the American
curio dealei. The biggest general
store in the place, that of Ketelsen &
Degetau, German subjects, carrying a
Rto valued at S'250.000.. was burned.

Amerlcis who visited Juarez say
they counted eight dead and saw nine
wounded men as a result of orgies,
but the mutineers say that only thres
were killed. Three wounded men were
brought to El raso. They are Fred
Leyva, Gus Ruhnke and Mariano Rod

down the mutiny he killed Cipriano

badly wounded In the head. He reach

"Scab" Chalked On Door Victims

Lawrence, Mass. Terror prevail!
throughout the French-Canadian col

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 all the foreign quarter thwre Is in

only the presence and activity of the
militia have prevented serious disord

The four victims are:

Miss ANNA TANGUAY.
FELIX GONN.
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 Sarvarlas
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 and a woman with
their faces slashed almost beyond re
cognition. In an adjoining bedroom
was found tl body 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 Tao
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 reet at either end,
and with leveled bayonets began to
drive tho crowd to the eldcwalks and

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 the 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,

New Bethlehem, Pa., Has Its
First Sensation
GIRL CLERK CUT HIGH JINKS
Little Slip In Monthly Report Upset
Plans Clerk Helps Post Office
Inspectors in Straight
ening Mattcri.
New Bethlehem, Pa. Ella Latimer,
a former employe of t lie postofficj
here, is alleged to have admitted that
she is responsible for a shortage of
$G,S00 In the accounts of Postmaster
George L. Thomas. While the resi
dents are eageily awaiting develop
ments, the young girl appears to
have nothing on her mind but the
fact that her father refused to alow
her to attend the automobile show la
Pittsburgh last week. The girl spent
three days In assisting Ihe postoffice
Inspector In his Investigation. Other
wine, It would prob.nbly have taken
months to discover the amount of the
shortage and the system used. The
girl's salary was $:!2 a month.
New Bethlehem is all agog over the
one and only sensation in Its history.
"That pos'toffice shortage of $(i,Slii)
is more than this town has lost by
fire In 40 years,"' said one old resident.
"What did she do with all tho
money?" is the question belong gen
erally askeed.
Miss Latimer's friends explain how
she disposed of tho cash she Is alleged
to have stolen.
" 'El'," said one of her girl friends
"was a mighty good feilow. Sho was
very Independent and kept licr pri
vate affairs to herself, but slin was
good to her friends and to her family.
Sh liked to dress well and she kept
her three sisters and a brother well
dressed. They lived on the best to
be had and 'HI' fooled nearly aU of.
the bills."
Miss Latimer baa not been Heen on
the streets of the town fur several
days. A close trieiid of the girl de
clares that Bhe Is keeping secluded In
her home because she had been in
formed that foreigners in Hie town,
fearing that money orders they had
sent to tlu old country would never
reach their destination, because Miss
Latimer Is alleged to have taken them,
have been makig threats against her
life.-
Substantial citizens of the town de
clare Miss Latimer's extravagance
was often the salient feature feature
of town gossip.
Expensive millinery, a new set of
costly furs and other refinery, they
.declare, must bave ceat her a gco 1
iUiu. and it is reported the fho Ip pil
or Overcoat is
ing the expenses or a girl friend who
is a patient In a Pittsburgh hospital,
and whose parents have no knowledge
of her whereabouts.
Postmaster Thomas declares the
first 1' tlmation that there was some
thing amiss with the accounts was
given to him in November, when the
postoffice department in Washington
returned h;m a report sent in by Miss
Latimer, in which there was a $."U0
discrepancy.
"When I received the report back
from the department," said Mr. Thom
as, "I made out one mysolf and sent
It in. This one was also returned.
Then I failed Miss Latimer's attention
to It. She made up another report.
The next thing I knew along came an
Inspector with all threp reports and an
Investigation was begun.
"When she came down on request,
she assisted Inspector Thomas in go
ing over the hooks. With one exeep
tion she recognized at first glance
every nionew order which she 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
should have been kept. Her extra
set of books showed practically all she
had taken.
"Alter tho Inspector had concluded
his examination of the books he ques
tioned her. 'How mg have you
been carrying til's ( .. .' he asked her,
and she said, 'Fez more than three
years.' She w; i asked If Bhe had
taken any money when her father was
postman or. she aid she had. She
was a very shrewd girl and If Bhe
hadn't made that s'ip up In her report
last November, 1 doubt if they would
ever have caught her."
Postmaster Thomas also declared
that wIkmi he broke Into Miss Lati
mer's prlvte locker, he found a
quantity of mail addressed to him.

Miss I.aiimer, who is 21! years old,
