AN UPRISING IN MEXICO.
Election Will Be Held on 20 and the
Revolutionist are Demanding ''Po-
litical Liberty, Free Speech, and
the Right to Vote. Election May
Cause BIoodshed.

Cananea, Mexico, June 20.-The
premature discovery of smuggled
arms and ammunition followed by
the arrest of leaders of the discon-
tented faction and the proclamation
of martial law in Cananea and other
border towns, probably has checked
and discouraged a serious outbreak
against the Mexican government,
scheduled to take place on June &c,
election day.
The revolutionary movement
among young men Of Northern Mexi-
co, followers, it is said of Gen. Ber-
nado Reyes, now in Europe, and of
Senor Madero, candidate for presi-
dent now under arrest in Monterey
on the charge Of causing crowds to
form. The discontented faction de-
mands political liberty, free speech
and the right to vote" They an
nounce that they will go to the polls
on election day prepared to fight if
denied their constitutional rights.
Four men were arrested yesterday
at Vilaverede and a number of ries
and revolvers and four thousand
rounds of ammunition were captured.
At Chivectria near Cananea, IS rifles
with ammunition were captured at
Buena Vista, one house included IL
rifles with ammunition. Dealers at
Bisbee, Douglas, and Naco, Arizona,
have sold all the rifles and ammuni-
tion in stock.
Cananea, the center Of the move
ment is guarded by two companies Of
the 25th infantry and company of
rurales under Colonel Emotie Roster
litsky. The gendames are under
arms
Hundreds of arrests for causing a
disturbance in public meetings have
been made throughout Sonora and
leaders of the revolution movement
have been deported. Twelve leaders
at Cananea have been taken to Her
mosillo where they will be held until
after the elections. The troops have
orders to disperse any gatherings Of
fifty or more persons.

CUSTOM DEPUTY GETS BIG PAY.
Was Instrumental i'm Unearthing the
Sugar Trust Frauds.

Washington, D. c., June IL
Richard Parr, the Customs Deputy
at New York, who materially assisted
the Government in recovering over
s2,000,000 in the sugar underweigh-
ing frauds, is to be given a reward
Of 100000.
The decision to reward Parr In
the amount of 100000 was reached
at a conference between President
Taft and Secretary MacVeagh to-day
There is not money enough available
In the Moiety Fund in the Treasury
from which rewards are paid TO cover
the amount agreed on, so that unless
other arrangements are made an ap-
peal to Congress will have to be made
for the necessary appropriations.
That, Secretary MacVeagh indicates,
would not be done at this session OF
Congress.
Parr discovered the secret string
on the docks of the American Sugar
Refining Company by which the un-
derweighing practice was carried on.
The final discoveries OF fraud were
made in 1907, since which time the
Government has been engaged In col
lecting the duties out Of which II had
been defrauded.
There were two other claimants
with Parr for reward. They were
Edwin l. Anderson and Charles NJ
Daily. Secretary Mcveagh submit
ted TO Attorney-General Wickersham
the question whether he was author
lied TO reward the three men, but the
Attorney-General held that Parr only
was entitled to any compensation
from the Moiety Fund. There is also
no doubt, declared the Secretary,
that Parr was offered large amounts
of money and that he was logged by
detectives.

McNIyCH AND szoREHEaD



BY Burke" In Greensboro Newx1
They are firing on Morehead and
MeNinch. The Times democrat. of
Charlotte, has pulled up It's field
piece TO the firing line, and on June
6 opened fire on Morehead and Nc
Ninch. and after critIcising More
head for turning deaf ear TO the
music Of the spindle and becoming
criminally absorbed in politics, mar
vels at the wonders that pie does
bring about
Now, the idea OF John Morehead
hunting pie Is ridiculous in the ex-
treme; he has always had pie and
pone at home, and IL any man has
ever gone TO Congress from this
State through pure patriotic motives.
without thinking of the accompany
ing emoluments of the office. that
man is John Morehead. And | may
just as we'll say McNinch will be an
other one of the same character. Nc
Ninch is another man that has his
pie and pone served at home, and
the Democrat can't place him in the
pone hunt, for he is neither paving
at the national crib for pone nor
crowding his way TO the pie counter.
When men like Morehead and Nc
Ninch yield to the clamors of the
people and accept nominations, the
Times-Democrat calls it the old
business man gag" If it is any
gag at all, it is new and very new.
/ The Democrat has gags, such as mig
ger" and red shirtism," that are as
old as Abe Lincoln and just as dead.
! Now, gentlemen, we do not mean
to speak disparingly Of your con-
/ gressmen now in Office, but pray tell
us what good they have accomplish
ed for their constituents?
/ Finally, we will say that we need
just such men as McNinch and More
head in Congress. Even IL McNinch
has voted a Democratic ticket, that
does not destroy his ability to be
useful in that place. I have heard
vote the Democratic ticket all the
time straight.
The idea of tariff legislation and
general progress comedies with the
administration and with ours. So
fire away with your squibs, your
missiles will go wild and the smoke
will only cloud your own vision.

HERMANN TEST|F|ES
IN SELF-DEFENSE
Former Congressman and Land
Commissioner Enters Denial
of Charges Made.

PORTLAND. Ore, Jan. 3l.--E'ormer
Congressman BinCer Hermann took the
stand today in his own behalf in his
trial in the United States district court
on charge of conspiracy to defraud
the government of public lands.
Hermann had barely reached the mat.
ter Of the Oregon land frauds when
the court adjourned until tomorrow, yet
so far as he had progressed, his tcsti-
mouy was a general and specific denial
of any connection whatever with any
conspiracy.
The major part Of Hermann s tcsti.
mony today concerned his early life.
from the time nc was born in Mary
land He told Of his youth in southern
Oregon, his study Of law and his polit-
ical career down TO 1907, when he de-
clincd TO accept denomination for the
office Of congressman because Of pend
ing land fraud charges against him.
Recalls Some History.
Hermann testified that he became
commissioner of the general land Office
in 1897. About 1900, tbc defendant
said. he became aware that under the
lieu land act Of 1897. sppculators were
defrauding tho government by securing
base located in forest reserves and
exchanging this CHASE. - which was fire.
quently on absolutely worthless land.
for valuable land outside tho reserves
Because this "baSc - was cxchangca bic
FOR government land located anywhere
in the country. spectators were able TO
secure these most valuable lands pos
scssed by the government at merely i
nominal price,
Thenceforth the defendant testified
he had consistently opposed the creation
Of forest reserve. and had declared that
he would not alter this opposition until
The lieu land law was repealed or at
least modified so as 10 prevent this un.
fair exchange,
In September. 1901. the defendant
said he recollcctcd being in Portland
and of having paid visit 10 thc Office
of Henry Medium, United States sur.
veyor general, of Oregon.

The conversation that took place. de-
