BY Associated Press.


New Orleans, La, Nov. 3. - Tele-
grams were received last night by
Representatives of the American inter-
ests in Honduras. confirming the AS
sociated Press dispatches of the revolu-
tionary outbreak at Amapala. That
the United States will within the next
few days take an active part in GUST
ing General Jose Valladares, leader Of
the rebellion from his entrenched pos
ition on the Islands of Amapala is the
belief here. The Honduras govern
ment has a small army and as Valla-
dares has several hundred armed fol-
lowers and is reported to have several
modern machine guns, it is thought
President Davila will ask assistance
of this government. Noted for his
hatred of foreigners Valladares recent
ly publicly announced he had named
his dog Taft" in order to show his
contempt for the American govern
ment.
Washington, d. c., Nov 3.-Martial
law has been declared in Honduras as
a direct result of Valladares, accord
ing to cable advices to the state de-
partment today, from Minister Nc.

NUMBER OF POLICE FOR
STRIKE RIOTS IS DOUBLED

Chicago, Ill.,, Nov. 3.-The number of
police reserved for riot duty in the
garment workers strike was doubled
today, owing to the turbulence yester-
day. "The strikers seem to be gain

Healy, "and we have found it great
task to send enough police to handle
the mobs The method of the strikers
is a clever one. We have found it i'm
possible to prevent strikers getting
to the shops, which in this district
have already lost two thirds of the EN-
ployes."

GARRETT OUT Of
K|CKAPOO CASE
Commissioner Tibbets Sustains Demur.
rer Saying Prosecution Had Failed
to Make Out Case of Forgery.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 2. = United
States Commissioner d. NJ Tibbetts
yesterday sustained demurrer to the
evidence of the government so far as
] i affects John Garrett of Oklahoma
Ftity, one of the five defendants in the
Mexican extradition cases, and order
ed the discharge of Garrett. This re-
lieves Garrett of the possibility of be-
ing extradited to Mexico for trial on
the charge of forgery of a deed, lodg-
ed against him by the Mexican gov
ernment
Commissioner Tibbetts in sustaining
the demurrer stated that the prosecu-
tion had failed to make out a probable
case of forgery against Garrett or to
show that he had any knowledge of the
transaction charged at the time it oc-
Cured and that if, at any time, Gar
rett had any knowledge of the trans
action it was after the alleged forgery
of the deed occurred.
Garrett was discharged from the
case upon motion of his attorney, C. G..
Horner of Guthrie, which was made at
the beginning of the trial. Horner con-
tended at that time that the govern
ment had no case against Garrett, but
that If he was held for trial, his case
should be segregated from that of the
other defendants, as it related to dis
tinct and separate transactions.
Commissioner TiDDetts ruled at that
time that CARROTS case could be
heard in connection with the main
case without prejudicing his rights
and stated that he would pass upon
the motion for dismissal of Garrett af-
ter the government had introduced all
its testimony.
The prosecution virtually rested its
case today and the motion was re-
, newed. Before Horner entered upon
his argument, Commissioner Tibbetts
stated that from the evidence he was
lAC1lACu W USllcNC tldI IdlISII ouOuiu
not be held, but asked Horner and
Prosecuting Attorney Kearful to pre-
sent the argument on both sides of the
matter The substance of Horner's
argument was that the governments
own evidence, as given by George Kish-
meton, Indian interpreter, and ]. R..
Jacobs. proved that Garrett was not
present when the alleged forgery was
committed and that he had no knowl-
edge of it until after his arrest.
Prosecutor Kearful admitted that the
evidence against Garrett was not suf-
ficient to convict him before a jury
but stated that if the evidence showed
guilty knowledge of the general ma
ture of the methods of taking the al
legged forged deed he could be held on
showing of probable guilt. The dis
charge of Garrett has no bearing upon
the status of the case against the other
defendants, who are charged with for
gerry of entirely different deeds and
with forgery of Indians names to
checks.
An adjournment of the hearing was
taken until Friday when the defense
will begin its case.

WORKERS DISCUSS
THE Girl PROBLEM
Alameda County Probation Off
GERS Tell of Aims of ChiId's
Welfare League

OAKLAND. Aug. 23.-"A Stitch in
Time Saves Nine" was the subject of
an address delivered last night by AS
sistant Probation Officer Beatrice A.
Mccall alta meeting held in Fruitvale
under the auspices of the Child's We'll
fare League of Alameda county. Miss
Mccall said in part:
The desire for a good time, improp-
erly met by the community, is the ex-
planation of the girl gone wrong. The
girl problem is caused by boxes in
cafes, too many saloons to make
drunken fathers, suggestive picture
cards, moving pictures and penny ar
cade exhibits, the failure to demand
common decency of the regular theater
and the dance hall, the double standard
of morals and the unwillingness of en-
ployers to pay girls a living wage.
I cannot urge too strongly the use
of the schools and the buildings in
Fairgrounds as public recreation CEN
ters where boys and girls might have
good times and even dance with their
parents in attendance, enjoying line
with their children"
Miss Bessie J. Wood, president of the
league, declared that the community
was to blame that so many children
had to be taken to the Juvenile court
and probation office.
Probation officer Ruess spoke on
What We Shall Ask of the Legisla-
ture of 1870 He said that the para
mount needs were more probation Of
ficers. an adult reformatory that boys
who fail at Preston and Whittier need
not be sent to the penitentiary at the
age of 6 or 10, and a state workhouse
for men who fail to provide for or

the state can set them to work, and
pay their neglected families at leas
