which the Illinois Central has been
defrauded. It is charged that Oster-
man and Niles conspired with Baker
and the others named to form cor,
poration, the car and equipment con-
Germ, to defraud the railroad. Later

BROWNE 'SDEFENSE
SUDDENLY CLOSES
Lorimer Not a Witness for Man
Accused of Bribery to
Elect Him
rAssoc,ated PressI

CHICAGO, June 21.-Precluding the
possibility of the defendant going on
the stand in his own behalf, counsel
say, and shutting out all testimony that
Senator William Lorimer might have to
offer in denial of the charge that his
seat in the United States senate was
purchased, lawyers for Lee O'Neil
Browne abruptly rested their case in
the criminal court here at noon today.
The sudden move of the defense was
wholly unexpected. More than fifty
witnesses for the defense were thus ex-
cluded. Several of these, in addition
to Browne and Lorimer, were consid-
cred important. Among them was
Lieutenant Governor Oglesby, who ar
rived in Chicago from Springfield this
morning.
1t is said Brownies counsel believes
the case stands or falls on whether the
jury is willing to accept the testimony
of Representative c. A. White, who
the principal testimony in the alleged
bribery scandal. 1t is hoped by the
defense that the jury will look upon
Whites testimony as doubtful.
Attorney w. S. Forest, who has led
the defense Of Browne, has insisted
from the beginning that he is not con-
cerned materially over the outcome in
the criminal court; that he has made a
legal case for his client to stand on in
the higher court.
CLAIMS PROBE IS FEARED
States Attorney Wayman, however,
says that Browne and his lawyer fear
to allow the case to be probed further;
that even with their own witnesses
they dare not chance another slip.
Although Mr.. Wayman began his
closing argument to the jury compare
lively early in the afternoon, he had
not finished at the days adjournment.
He will finish tomorrow morning, and
will be followed by the defense.
Immediately OTTER the unexpected
announcement that the defense rested
its case Attorney Forest moved on
technical grounds that the case be TAX
en- from the jury and a verdict of not
guilty be returned. Judge McSurely
refused the motion.
states Attorney Wayman was asked
by Mr.. Forest to elect on what count
he will ask the jury to convict Browne.
Mr.. Wayman declined to do so. Judge
McSurely refused to instruct the prose-
sutor so to elect.
Mr., Forest said there were so many
variations about the indictment that
the defense could not prepare instruc-
tions to the jury. Judge McSurely told
Mr.. Forest to prepare the instructions
for the defense.
Mr.. Forest expected to use this re-
fusal to define the issues in the case,
and asked for twentyfour hours in
which to prepare instructions for the
defense after the prosecution had en-
tered theirs. This also was overruled

IAssociated Press1

Ell PASO, Texas, June 21.-Although
the expected attack on the Mexican
customs house at Naco, Sonora, has
been frustrated by the arrival of SOL
diers from Cananea, the entire border
from Cananea to Ciudad Porflrio Diaz,
opposite Laredo, Is in a state Of revo-
lutionary ferment and outbreaks are
feared at a dozen places.
All available Mexican troops have
been detailed along the border with
orders to suppress all disturbances
with an iron hand.
Principal reliance is being placed on
the ruraIes organized by President
Diaz himself and recognized as his
ardent supporters and the most eff
cient troops in the Mexican army.
Many citizens have been pressed
into service and armed to protect gov
ernment funds at the customs houses
along the border.
TAKE BACK MONEY
At Naco, Sonora, the government
funds, removed to the Texas side last
night for protection, have been taken
back to Mexico and the Mexican Of
ficials and men, women and children
who fed to Arizona have returned
home. The troops sent from Cananea
are quartered in the warehouse Of the
Cananea Copper company and are
making preparations for an extended
stay. Two hundred additional troops
are held in readiness at Cananea to
march to Naco at q moments notice.
Commissario Cubillas has purchased
all available arms at Naco, Arizona,
and has armed q body of citizens to
protect the town.
REINFOROEMENTS ARRIVE
Reinforcements have been received
by Col. Kosterlitzky, in command at
Cananea. This has enabled him to
spread troops along the border to in
tercept smuggled arms. He has or
dered the house-to-house search for
arms continued in all the northern
Sonora villages.
Three burros were seized by masked
men on the American side Sunday
night and loaded with ammunition,
which was carried across the border
into the San Jose mountains. A squad
of rurales Is In pursuit of the party.
FLEE TO TEXAS
Serious disturbances are reported to
have taken place at Ciudad Porf1rio
Diaz, Coahuil :, from where the revo-
lutionary leaders have fed to Eagle
Pass, Texas, to escape arrest.
1t Is said by Mexican authorities
that newspapers printed in Spanish on
the American side of the border have
been a large factor in stirring up the
discomfort nov finding expression. The
movement has been singularly free
from expressions of animosity to
Americans, In marked contrast to the
election riots of four years ago, when
anti-American feeling was strong.
That the Mexican government views
seriously the threatened uprising in
the state of Sonora was made evident
TODAY when IL became known that
Mexico has appealed to the United
States to protect IT'S frontier Two
troops of the Eighth cavalry at Fort
Huachuca, Ariz., have orders, it is
said, to move at the first notice of
trouble.

NEWsBOY HERO RESCUEs
LAD FROM WATERY CRAVE

NEW YORK, June PA prosaic po-
lice report told today how the courage
and endurance of 1S-year-old Antonio
Teleso, an east side newsboy, saved the
life yesterday OF Dominick Fredo, aged
years, as the boy was drowning in a
water tank on the roof of a six-story
tenement house where he lived
When playing on the roof with the
other children the Fredo boy climbed
to the water tank, twelve feet high.
Sitting astride, he lost his balance and
fell into the water.
When the policemen hurriedly sum-
moned reached the roof they beheld a
hand tightly gripping the edge Of the
water tank. The policemen scrambled
to the top of the tank and found that
the hand clinging to the edge was that
of young Teleso, whose other hand
clutched in an unbreakable grip on
the collar of little Dominick, thus
keeping him above the water.
Leaning over, one of the policemen
pulled up the smaller boy and then
dragged out the Teleso lad, who was
almost exhausted.
To all appearances Dominick was
dead but the policemen finally resus-
citated him.
