BINGHAM EATS CROW
FOR ATTACK ON JEWS

NEW YORK, Sept. 16.-vPolice Com.
missioner Bingham today apologized,
completely backed down and utterly
repudiated his attack upon the Jews
made in a recent article published In
the North American Review. The
commissioner admitted that the fig.
ures on which lie had based his, state
ment were wrong and that he had no
proper authority for making the charge
that half the crimes committed in
New York were committed by Jews.
"The figures | used I'm making my
statistics were unreliaDle and 1t be-
comes my duty to repudiate them" he
said i'm his statement.
The result is a victory for the Jews
who demanded proof ana fair treat
ment. -

MEXICANS WANT AMERICANS OUT
Organized Movement Is On Among Railroad Men of
 the Republic,

A movement has been started among the Mexican railroad men of the republic to, eliminate foreign en- ployes and reserve all the positions. good, bad and indifferent for natives. Meetings have been held in Mexico City, Monterey and other railroad centers at which organizations have adopted resolutions and discussed plans for attaining the desired ends. At the meeting in Mexico City several names were suggested for the pro posed organization. one of which was una Liza Mexicana para expulsion de los Extrangeros. s. A." a free trans latiOn of which is a society to make the foreigners hike.
 One method of operation considered by them is to appoint a committee to confer with President Diaz and ask him to forbid foreigners in general, and Americans in particular, being given employment on roads in M ex. ice
 Should the president fail to become enthusiastic over their patriotic and
 uusrlfish undertaking, then ihe pro motors hint that 1t may become Fec essaTy for them to take matters in their own hands and eXpurga every
 American who may look as if he wants a race.

TIE DEMOCRATS ARE
 GETTING TOGETHER
Frank Murphy the Probable DemoCartic Nominee for
 Sheriff in Pima.

TUCSON. July 4.-While the weath- CT is proving damper on enthusiasm
 in political circles, nevertheless the
 bee is abroad and its buzzing sound
 is making a noise in more than one bonnet in the Old Pueblo,
 There is a growing tendency on the part of the Democrats to get together lin Pima county for united effort in behalf of the success of the county ticket this fall and without exaggera- tion there are signs of dissatisfaction among the leaders on the other side.
 Already there are mumblings of dis content at the prospect of more than one occupant of the court house be
 coming candidate for a third term.
 In republican circles interest centers
 in the race for probate judge and sher- iff. For probate judge it is likely that the conte st will be between Judge
 Kirkpatrick and w. F. Cooper and for sheriff between NabOr Pacheco, Henry Meyer and John Nelson. These two contests alone would make the Tepub- lican primaries a highly entertaining affair.
 In democratic circles there is a strong sentiment setting in favoring Frank Murphy for the democratic nomination for sheriff. In addition ono hears the name of Judge Sawtelle for district attorney and Hon. R. N. Leatherwood for member of the Iegis- latuFe
 The democrats are first in the field with a political club and the younger set appear to be taking the lead in it's organization. Before the end of July We may expect more than one candf. date to shy his castor into the politi- ! cal ring.

WEBB CATCHES
 CH|NKS WHILE
 ON THEIR WAY
Alleged SmuggIers of 0rientals Caught With the Goods On" By Head of Service in the Territory.

Captain George w. Webb, in charge of the United States immigration ser vice in Arizona, arrived in Tucson about daylight Thursday morning, | bringing with him seven prisoners, four of whom were Chinese, alleged to be in the country illegally, and the ether three, Mexicans. who are alleg- ed to have smuggled the orientals across the international boundary line
 Unaware of the fact that the immi- grafton officers have been suspicious for some time past of matters in the vicinity of the Sahuaripa ranch, locat- ed 20 miles south of Tucson, Julian Saencido, Mexican, arrived there about o'clock yesterday morning, and was met by Manuel Seron and Francisco Acosto. Saencido, it is al legged, had vita him four Chinese, whom he had brought from a point on the International boundary line west of Nogales.
 Captain Webb had stationed Inspec- tors Murphy and Mcdonald on the des- ert on Tuesday night awaiting the re turn of Saencido, as it had been re- ported there was something afoot. However the suspect did not appear until yesterday morning, and at that time was caught with the goods on him by Webb himself
 The immigration officer placed two of the prisoners in the custody of his young son, and taking the remainder Of the gang proceeded to Tucson, ar living there after daylight
 In speaking of the matter yesterday one of the immigration men said:
 There is no doubt but that these men have bsen doing this sort of work for some time past, but it has al ways been impossible to catch them. This catch, however, will undoubtedly discourage them for some time"
 So far as the Chinese are concern ed they will probably be given a hear ing and shipped back to China, as they are short on "chock gees" but the remainder of the crowd are liable to be sent to the penitentiary for con spiracy to violate the laws.

WRECK RESULT OF CRIMINAL
 ACT CLAIMED
Railway Officials Claim DiSas- ter at WinSIow Was Work of a Miscreant Who Fired Long Bridge.

LOS ANGELES. July IA claim is made by the officers of the Santa Fe that the wreck of the California limited, near Winslow, Sunday night, was deliberately brought about by the burning of the bridge. The wreck resulted in three deaths and in- juries to over 30 persons. H. J. Franklin, general cost and claim agent for the company, declared that reports from his subordinates estab- fish clear case of train wrecking.
 It is said that the bridge was so located that fire could not have been started by a passing engine; that a train had passed two hours before the wreck, and that in the meanwhile a track-walksr had found the bridge in good condition. Two men are said to have been seen running away as the engine crashed into the ditch. 1t is now declared that the wreck of freight train in the same vicinity on June 20 was caused by an obstruction placed on the track, evidently in the mistaken belief that the next train due was the California limited.
