12 MEXICANS FIRE ON Alii AMERICAN WOMAN Assault Charged Against Captain and Colonel of General Villa's Army Mexico City, Dec. 15 (by courier to KI Paso. Texas), Dec. 22. Acting on emphatic orders from "Washington, John R. Sllliman. in his capacity as personal representative of President Wilson, has demanded from Provisional President Gutierrez a full and immediate investigation of the murderous attack by Mexican officers last Sunday night on a young and prominent American woman. Mrs. Robert Oliinger. and her brother. Charles Seifert. Mr. Sllliman has further informed President Gutierrez that the I'nited Slates Government will demand prompt and adequate punishment of the offending officers. The entire foreign colony Is stirred up over the outrage, and there are open threats of summary reprisals if more such at tacks occur. Mrs. Oliinger. wife of Robert Oliing er. traffic manager of the Agulla Oil t'ompany. was passing through Gante street with her 17-year-old brother on Sunday night. They were on their way to the American Club, and were accosted by two officers, one a colonel and the other a captain of the Army of the North. The eolonei, addressing Mrs. Oliing er familiarly, tried to embrace her. Young Seifert knocked him down. Roth officers drew revolvers and fired at the boy, hut their bullets went wild. Mrs. Oliinger leaped in front of her brother, whereupon both men shot at her. sending two bullets through her hat. One Shot in Head One of the officers tried to sieze Mrs. I 'llinger, just as the other officer fired, and fhe bullet struck him in the bend. In the confusion that followed Mrs. ' 'llinger and her brother darted into ihe I'nion Methodist Church, and, with the help of the porter, swung the heavy doors shut, just as the officers opened fired on them again. The fusillade of shots against the church door and through the windows brought an automobile load of army offleers irom the Hotel Iturbide. nearby, and the two desperadoes were whisked away. Meanwhile, young Seifert had tele phoned to the American Club, and a score of Americans came to the church on the run. They were too late to get their hands on the offenders, but they carried Mrs. Oliinger, who had swoon ed. to the clubhouse, where she was revived. Both Mr. Sillintan and the Brazilian Minister were told immediately of the outrage, and the details were all for warded to Washington. Although President Gutierrez yester day issued an order forbidding officers and privates to carry firearms when oil duty, the principal streets of the city were as full as ever today of armed men. and there were several shooting affrays. Seven are reported dead as the result of a fracas in a dance hall, two were' killed in a quar rel between military groups in the Cafe Colon, and two more fell in a street fight several blocks south of the National Palace. Will Cut Ice After Another Cold Week Another week of freezing cold weather is needed to make ice fit for har\ esting hereabouts. Local dealers say the ice at no place is more than eight inches thick. It should be eleven inches before it is cut. Along the smaller streams farmers ' jf is said, are already filling their ice houses with ice eight inches thick. This work is giving the farmers something to ,10 during dull season. At Conewago. < olebrook. Dauphin. Retort Springs and other points, where the I'nited Fee and ('oal Company get their supply, however, no Ice is being cut.

The British Embassy to-dav issued the following statement: "The military attache of the Ger man Embassy ha.s justified the killing of women and children by the Imperial German navy at Scarborough and Whitby on the ground that these places were defended within the mean ing of The Hague convention (in J 907).

Baker, of this city, his at-1 tornev, set forth that the sentence! was excessive and that his family ! needed him. the point being made! that the punishment had already been } very heavy. Mr. Rhey. who was, prosecutor when the case was tried, i strongly opposed the pardon on the ground that the offenses were very serious and that the community did, not want the pardon. The case will' be determined to-niglu. The unusual instance of a woman appearing in two cases occurred at the board to-day, Sirs. Elizabeth Derby, president of the King's Daughters of I Philadelphia, asking pardon for C. Miller, forgery. Chester county, which was opposed by District Attorney Har ris E. Sproat, and for David Wilkinson, horse stealing, Delaware county. Wil kinson is but 18 years of age and it seems tried to sell the liorse to a brother of Judge Butler. Mrs. Derby said that his sentence of from three to six years was too severe for a youth and remarked that the longer some persons stay in penitentiaries the worse *hey get and that often such institu ins are "colleges for crime. ' Protest against pardoning Dr. C. C. Meredith, Pittsburgh, was filed by Al legheny county authorities and by the Allegheny County Medical Society, but I that against pardon of John F. Cros son. former chairman of the Philadel phia Democratic city committee, serv ing time for forgery and illegal prac ticing as an attorney, was withdrawn. The board will clear its calendar to-night.

"If he is convicted 1 presume he will | serve out such sentence as is imposed lon him whereupon the detainer con sisting of his original committment to 1 Matteawan having been tiled at his place of imprisonment, will occasion his return to Matteawan." KVKLYN SORKV Special to The Telegraph New York, Dec. 22. —"I am terribly sorry that Harry Tl\aw is to be taken back to Matteawan. But I know a way in which he can gain his freedom, and I stand ready to go to him and help him out of his trouble if he will send for me as a husband should send for his wife when he is in difficulty." This was the declaration made by Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw when she heard of the Supreme Court decision against her husband. "I have been giving this matter much consideration for sometime and have discovered a way. Two other persons beside myself know about it. 1 would be very glad to go to him and help him in every way possible to ob tain his freedom. Once I took the .stand and fought for him.

THAW MAY \taiX ATTEMPT TO PROYK THAT UK IS s.WK By Associated Press Manchester, N. H., Dec. 22.—Harry | K. Thaw soon will make another tight Ito establish his sanity, in the opinion lot' several acquaintances. The oppor-I ' tunity. they confidently expect, will be afforded when Thaw is returned to New York to answer the indictment [charging conspiracy to escape from [the insane asylum. It was intimuted to-day that the ef forts of the New York authorities to I prove Thaw was competent to commit an illegal act might be forced by the defense to a point where the evidence ! could be used to prove that he was iabsolutely sane. Thaw, it was said, was constantly in touch with his chief icounsel, former Secretary of State P. C. Knox, who was at his country home at Valley Forge, Pa., to-day. Thaw's secretary intimated that Mr. Knox might come to Manchester. It was also suggested that a fur ther move to delay the execution of the I order of the United States Supreme Court for the removal of Thaw to New York was within the range of pos sibility, but if anything of this sort is contemplated the plan is known only to Thaw and his counsel. The order : for his removal is not expected until I the thirty days' of grace permitted in much cases has elapsed, j Thaw was enjoying to-day the same j I restricted liberty that has been his | since he was placed in the custody of jSherlff Hoiman Drew, of Coos county.
