taxes which the Mexican Government
imposes upon them and the sovereignty
which Mexico assumes are intOlera BILE.
The present outbreak was brought
about In the usual way. The Mexicans
violated the treaty made with Tetabi.

Immediately the Yaquis were in arms.
The fighting blood which centuries Of
warfare and oppression have been pow

wrong. The Yaquis took the field. Sew

Chief Tetabiate was killed. but his fol-
lowers were only fired to avenge his
death. Hundreds Of Mexican soldiers
have gone down before the Yaqui fire.
Mexico realizes that the uprising Is Sc

"You noticed III the papers, perhaps"
said u Chicago detective who was IN
New Orleans for Mardi Gras, that
young fellow from Kentucky had been
beaten out OF II couple of hundred dol
lars by II confidence man In the Louis
lana city. The sharper had scraped an
acquaintance, borrowed the money
until he could get $1,000 Unchanged.
and left the poor dupe waiting ON the
sidewalk while lie stepped into the 81.
Charles to speak to the clerk. Or
course, he never came back, and in
those general features there Is nothing
remarkable about the case; but there Is
one little detail in connection with It
that impressed me as being highly sig
niticant. Before leaving his victim OH
the sidewalk the confidence had hand
ed him his OvercOat.
"'Just hold that for minute. Will
YOU old MANI he said. and thcreupon
proceeded to disappear. Now that
Overcoat incident was really the meat
of the whole affair. Ii the young Ken
tuckian hadn't been requested to guard
the garment he would never have per-
mitted the other fellow to get out "f
his sight until he paid back the $500 he
had borrowed earlier in the evening.
But the shabby old overcoat. worth

him with unlimited confidence.
II may say without exaggcrattOn
| that I've known the same kind OF
| dodge to be worked successfully by ut
least forty different cases. In every
instance the dupe was given something

fidence man uparound my home. known
as Smooth Eddie Burns who made u

The fact that Mexico Is at war with

Of the newspapers. but 1t has no spe-

who knows little about the Yaquis or
