BOY RETURNS WITH
 STOLEN MONEY

Washington, December 24-Andrew J. Campbell a youth of IS. looking very frightened walked into detective head quarters with his father tonight and laid a roll of ereenhacks on the desk.
 'I wish you'd count those.a he said.
 The sergeant in charge thumbed them over and counted s1s6.
 That Is what I received, not knowing 1t was from robbery of the house of a man whom I know well, but in which had no part" said young Campbell. Then he told story of his adventures, of how he had been travelling on tho booty in the south with two other boys. always riding in the craving rooms of Pullman cars and novsr having less than a room and bath at the best hotels.
 The house Of George A. Gill at Hyatts- vile, Md. was robbed on December 20 and s1os0 was stolen from trunk. The next night. according to Campbelrs story, John Williams, aged 1s invited him to go travelng with himself and another boy, Richard Peters, also 16. and see the world. Williams announced that he had won 0 law suit against an express company and had plenty of money. He divided s10S0 among the three. keeping s62O himself. Peters got s1e0 and Campbell $2S0
 The boys went to Richmond, Va. and from there to Rocky Mount, N. c. It was at the latter place. Campbell says, that he found to his great astonishment that the money on which he had been travel ing was stolen from the home of his fathers friend.
 Campbell told the police that Williams admitted the robbery.
 Campbell came back to Washington to make clean breast of his part and mes- sages were sent through the south tonight for the arrest of Williams and Peters Campbell was locked up and his story is being investigated.

 UP CRITICS PEN

Washington, December 24.-Samue1 Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, publishes vigor- ous editorial this month in the Fedora tionist, the official organ of the labor body, against both the action of tho supreme court of the District of Col 1 umbia and the recommendation in President Tafts message to Congress with reference to the necessity for notices and hearing before injunction writs are granted.
 Both the actions of the court and the recommendation of the President are criticized, the former on the ground that it was without sanction of the law and the latter for the alleged req son that the President did not advo- cate that any law could be attacked. or modify an existing law.

the expected junction with the other armies of the insurgents when the as sault began. They encountered roads knee deep with red clay and over grown with tropical plants through which they cut s way with their machetas. but their progress was slow.
 Chamorro became uneasy and dis patched a messenger with his urgent command: Come quickly or the day goes against us.
 And the day was going against the provisionals.
 The enemy fell on every side, but Chamorro discerned that at best he was but holding his own. After dispatch ing the messenger to Mena he adopted the plan of repulshing the enemy when they left their trenches and assaulted. but without attempting a further sd- vance. General Mena realized the situ- ation and instead of satisfying himself by cutting off possible retreat of tie government troops he push ed forward for an assault. How he and his 500 men got through the intervening two miles of brush the general has been unable since to explain. They seem to have scrambled so desperately that they failed to realize the obstacles be- fore them.

Desperate Situation.

General Chamarro had been fought to a standstill and his men were well nigh exhausted. Over the field tele- phone r-in-Chief Estrada was informed that the situation was desperate and that while his army was not defeated, victory was not in sight. When the hour was darkest for the in surgents cheers were heard in the distance and presently General Mena and his scratched and bleeding men emerged from the jungle into the half cleared plantation where the battle was being waged.
 Without stopipng for orders and yell ing at the top of their voices, the re- inforcing troops swept across the clearing to the rear of the enemy and charged the hill at point where no machine guns had been placed
 The movement of Mena served as signal for a general advance by the three armies of the insurgents. At critical moments tine insurgents swept up the hill in the face of furious fire Mena was the first to reach the summit. At his heels were his de- termined soldiers. The defenders. de- pending on their rifles only. were only to repulse the attackers. Suddenly abandoning their trenches, the govern- ment troops fell back before Menas advancing men, and charged the ad- vancing armies under Chamarro and DiaZ.
 Mena pushed his attack on Gonzales rear Tn 10 minutes 1t was all over, but in that 10 minutes frightful exc cution was done. Scores were Killed outright and the wounded covered the summit of the hill. Hundreds of the enemy threw down their arms and begged for quarter. General Gonzales saw he was whipped, and to save need less slaughter, signaled that he sur rendered. Nineteen hundred prisoners wera taken
