BILLMAN Arabs Attack American and Brit ish Teachers; Seriously Wound One THIEVES GET TWENTY POUNDS Victims Forced to Spend Night in Open Until Assistance Comes Thrilling description of an attack on a party of teachers of the American College at Beirut, Syria, is given in a letter written to the Telegraph by a former Perry county boy, A. M. Bill man, who was an eye-witness to the scenes he describes. He writes: "On the night of Easter Sunday at about 8 o'clock, a party of seven Brit ish and American teachers from the American University at Beirut, Syria, were held up and robbed by four armed shepherds while on a 'walk across the hills and plains between Ti berias and Mt. Tabor in Galilee. The shepherds first accosted the young men and demanded 'backsheesh' and attempted to rob one of the men, but they fell back when the rest of the party came to his assistance. The travelers had only proceeded about fifty feet farther when a shot rang out and Mr. Schearer, an American, fell to the ground crying out that he had been shot. Everyone then dodged and two more shots, lired shortly after, whistled overhead. On perceiving that the foreigners, who were wholly un armed, did not return tire, the Arabs rapidly drew near and covered the crowd with their pistols and guns. As one man had already been shot, per haps fatally, little resistance could be made and the party was relieved of twenty pounds or more In money, to gether with a number of cameras and watches and other valuables.

C., May 7.—That ail nations will know that, the repeal of the Panama toll exemption law will be done to "purchase immunity for a con tinuation of watchful waiting in Mex ico" was charged in the Senate by Sen ator Bradley, of Kentucky, opposing the repeal bill. "If the United States is lacking In influence, or standing to-day," said he, "it is not on account of the tolls ques tion, but because of its weak, vacil lating and uncertain policy of 'watch ful waiting' with Mexico, if we aban don our sovereignty over the canal to Great Britain, all other nations will know that we are doing it with the purpose of purchasing immunity for a continuation of our 'watchful wait ing' policy, under which we accom plished nottiing and under which there can be no peace. "J agreo that the President lias been actuated by an honest endeavor to procure peace and a constitutional government in Mexico. The trouble, however, is that his ideals are too ex alted to be realized. The. great ma jority of her people are not fitted for constitutional government. There is too much ignorance, too much of in satiable ambition, too much repine, too much of butchery. You might as well try to establish a Sunday school In hell as real constitutional government in Mexico by Mexicans." Senator Bradley declared that the President's message asking for the re peal was "nothing short of an Insult to the members of Congress who voted for the present law." < Mad Dog Races Folk All Over Wildwood Just because Wildwood is wild, It doesn't necessarily follow that a mad dog can race through the big recreation stretch and roughhouße the game and frighten the people who travel through the park.
