the prisoners-obtaining money under
false pretenses, procuring girls, and
criminal assault uron young girls.
"Theocratic Unity"
The offenses, said Mr.. Mathews, were
committed by fraud unique in the an

a religious sect, called "Theocratic Un-

power, and induced girls to misconduct
themselves with Theodore, under the be-
lief that it was necessary part Of their
religious devotion.
Poverty, chastity and obedience were

BATTLE in NEW MEXICO.
Fifteen Negroes Reported Killed In a
Fight With Mexicans.

Hereford, Tex, July 16.-Word
reached this place of a regular pitched
battle and wholesale killing between
Mexicans and negroes who are work
ing on the new Rock Island extension
in New Mexico, 100 miles west of here.
The trouble originated in the killing
of a Mexican by negro some weeks
since. The authorities undertook to
arrest the assailant, but his friends
interfered and they were obliged to
withdraw. Last week some 35 or so
Mexicans armed themselves with Win
chesters and went after the negro. A
battle took place, in which Is negroes
were killed outright and several
wounded. The casualties among the
Mexicans cannot be learned. The
trouble occurred at Spencer's railroad
camp, near Liberty, N. NJ, in sparse
ly settled portion of the territory
where peace officers are few and the
law is not rigidly enforced.
