TOLSTOI'S BODY
in FINE CASKET

Cabin to the Home He
Deserted
REFUSED RECONCILIATION
WITH GREEK CHURCH

By United Press Leased Special Wire
YASNAYA POLYANA, Russian, Nov.
2l-Amid pomp and ceremony, which
he loathed in life, encased in a rare
casket, which, he would have Stunned
as an evil thing, the body Of Leo.
Nicholaevich, Count Tolstoi writer,
dreamer and idealist, will be brought
back to-day TO his home here. to be
laid to rest, as he had wished, at the
foot of Poverty Oak. where the peas
ants he loved are want to cOngre-
gate.
No church ceremony Will mark the
final Obsequies of the great man, great
in death as in life. The church
the Greek Catholic Church-which eX-
communicated Tolstoi in 1901, after
the world had read his Resurrection,
held out the hand of forgiveness 10
him to the last; and he refused it.
The funeral will take place to-
morrow.
Fearing outbreaks, the police OF
many neighboring districts are gath
ering here to-day. Troops may be
sent, ostensibly as a mark Of the gov
ernment's respect, but really to pre-
vent violent scenes.
Talk of Legal Dispute.
Already there Is talk of legal COM
plications between members of Tolls
tots family and NJ Tchertkofi,
Tolstoi's English representative, re-
garding possession of the Counts
manuscripts including his unpublish-
ed novel. These manuscripts are held
by Tchertkoff, who is bound by Tolstoi
to give them to the world. In 1895
TolstOi, in furtherance of his idealistic
principles. renounced property rights
in copyrights, land and money. He
wanted his books given to the world
without profit to himself His family
objected, declaring such act would en-
rich the publishing house and pauper-
ize Tolstoi. II was q quarrel over
this which is said 10 have induced
Tolstoi to leave his home on his fatal

UPRISING NOW
in MEXICO
Revolutionary Outbreak and
RiOting Against the Diaz
Government
REPORTS THAT MANY
WERE KILLED IN FIGHTS

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
LAREDO. Tcxas, Nov. 2i.-start-
ling reports Of an invasion OF Mexico
from America by fugitive Mexicans
were received here to-day from the
Rio crando region west Of n Paso,
Texas, following the disappearance
from San Antonio Saturday Of Fran
cisco l. Madero, recognized revolu-
'tionary leader Armed Mexicans are
reported crossing the river boundary
u points 300 miles from III Paso
where the Mexican frontier is said
to be unprotected by troops or ru-
rales. lt is declared by border scouts
arriving here this morning, that the
invading forces are mobilizing on the
other side, determined to march on
Chihuahua, the first open attack
against the Dlaz government
Il is estimated that 1000 Mexicans
have already crossed the river bor-
der confirming rumors that the revo-
utionary party is carrying out we'll
defined plans under a skillful leader.
The anti-American outbreaks in Mex
leo City, and later the revolutionary
disturbances al Pebla are now re-
garded as fOrerunners of a menacing
revolution which shall show its great
est force along the Texas border
through the north of Mexico, and far

EL PASO. AeXas., Nov. 2l.-Advices
received here to-day place the NUM-
her of killed I'm the rioting at zaca-
tecas. in the interior of Mexico, at
nearly 100. Other reports say the death
list will reaoh 500, but the reports are
confusing and authentic Information
Is impossible to obtain, because Of the
censorship.
Zacatecas IS 500 miles south of the
border and It is unlikely that the re-
suits of the fighting there Will be deh-
nitely known for some time TO come.
Most of the reports reaching here, are
that a force OF rioters assembled IN
the public square and, after singing
revolutionary songs and shouting
threats against the city officials, start
ed to march through the streets. A
force OF soldiers was In waiting, ana
on signal fred half a dozen yolleys
into the crowd. The rioters fed IN the
utmost confusion leaving many dead
and wounded behind.
Reports are current here Of riots at
Alnieze, Mexico, in which number OF
persons were killed and Of a tight near
Del Rio. Texas, on the Mexican. bord-
er. In this latter fight the rumors say
Americans and Mexicans participated.
The rumor Is not confirmed.
The Mexican government is moving
troops RAPIDLY into all Of the terri
tory where a revolutionary uprising
is feared. Guerreri, where the revo-
lutionary leader Madero planned 10
establish HIS headquarters Is now held
by government troops, while cavalry
patrols are searching the country for
the insurgent leader and his lieu
tenants.
The report that General Bernardo
Reyes arrived secretly from Europe
where he has been in virtual exile
by command Of President Diaz, and
is the real leader of the uprising is
Worrying the officials. The general
is immensely popular and were be
to take an open part in a movement
having for its purpose the overthrow
of the Diaz administration he could
count on thousands OF recruits.
