AMERICAN OFFICERS
SEIZE MANY GUNS
SHIPMENT OF RIFLES AND AM
MUNITIoN INTENDED FOR REV.
OIUTlONARY MOVEMENT.

San Antonio, Texas, Nov. 1S.-What
is believed to be an attempt to SNUG
gle weapons into Mexico has been
discovered by federal officers. A
special agent of the department of
Justice and deputy United States mar
shals have seized one hundred 1870
calibre rifles and $4,000 rounds of
ammunition shipped into San An
tonic from st. Louis. The consign-
ment reached the city Monday, and
the express charges thereon, it is
said, were $40. While federal Off
GERS will not discuss the matter, it
is known that the place where the
rifles and cartridges were hidden has
been under surveillance practically
since the delivery was made by the
express company. This, in connec-
ton with the large purchase of rifles
and ammunition made here last Sat
urday at local stores, leads to the be-
lief that this is but a small patr OF
the arms destined for use in a sus-
pected revolutionary movement in
Mexico.
The federal officers will not talk
o fthe probability of immediate ar
rests. 1t is probable action is in
allowance. pending further informa-
ton from Washington. The renew
ed activity of United States authori-
ties along the border and in towns
on this side of the Rio Grande, In
dicates that whether or not there is
prospect of a revolution, 1t VIII
be practically impossible to sumggle
arms into the republic.

AVIATOR MEETS
TRAGIC DEATH
RALPH TOMBSTONE HOLDER OF
WORLDS ALTITUDE RECORD
OF AEROPLANES KILLED.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 17.-Ralph John
stone, holder of the worlds altitude
record of aeroplanes, today fell 500
feet while attempting a spectacular
dip and was instantly killed. Appar-
enly every bone in his body was brok-
en-, though his bod was not badly
mangled.
The accident occurred about 4:l5 p.
m. during Johnstons second flight.
He had just returned from soaring
above Fort Lagoon. Reaching the
north end of the aviation field, he
began his spectacular performance
in competition with Hoxsey, who was
flying at the south end of the field.
The crowd began cheering when the
flight started, not realizing that John
stone had dipped too far until the
air craft had turned completely over
three times and plunged toward the
earth. /
Some say Johnstone merely dipped
too far, while others claim that the
frame broke under the terrific strain.
Johnstone struck the ground with
his machine between two trees about
$50 yards from the aviation field.
Thousands of excited spectators driv-
en- away from Johnstons body by the
police, turned to the wrecked aero
plane and carried off huge portions
as souvenirs before they could be
brought under control by the blue
coats.
Johnstones body was taken to the
morgue in an automobile. No action
has been taken with regard to call
ing off or continuing the meet.

New Bridge Across Red River.

Denison, Texas, Nov. 1.-THE COM
bination railroad and wagon bridge
across Red river north of Denison
has been opened for wagons and ve-
hicles. This bridge was erected by
the NJ. o. & G. railway company FOR
their tracks with an apron on one
side for horse-drawn vehicles and an
apron on the other side which Is ex-
pected to be used at some future day
by an electric line that has long been

SAID BY ACCEPTING SMALLER
PAY-GIRLS NONUNlON.

St Louis. Mo-, Nov. 17-Married
women who work are ruling the con
dition of labor in the United States,
according to Miss Margaret Kelley,
who represents the international
Boot ami, Shoe Workers Union at
the convention of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor.
On the other hand, the most able
supporters of the unions are the
women who joined the union before
they were married. 1t is she who
is tn big fore in the laboring world,
according to Miss May Nlhil, IN
ternational secretary of the Sus-
pender Workers Union.
Married women are the ruination
of labor today" sis Kelley SAID.
They ought to stay at home and
take care Of their husbands and
families" she declared yesterday.
."They don't persevere, they do the
labor less conscientiously; they take
anv pay. A dollar a day is good
nav to them, and they are continu-
ally undermining the wage stand
ard because they know they always
have their husbands earnings to fall
back on"
The devastation wrought by these
women in labor circles is more ag-
gravated in the eastern states than
it is out west. There, says Miss Ke.-
ley. it is a general thing to see
married women working in facto-
ries.
Cupid keeps girls from joining

BODY FOUND YESTERDAY IN
HE ETicAL LILY SEALED
TRUNK IN APARTMENT HOUSE
PLACED THERE YEARS AGO
Rody Believed to Have Remained In
Trunk Five Years or More-he-
duced Almost to Skeleton-BelieV-
ed to Have Been Body Of Woman.

New York, n. Y, Nov. 1S.-The
inquest is to be held this after
noon on the body -ound yesterday
in a Theoretically sealed trunk in
the cellar of a Fifty-fourth street
apartment.
Tven the sex of the victim is un-
known. The five years or more
which the body is supposed to have
remained hidden, has reduced it
almost to a skeleton. From the
smallness of the bones, the authori-
ties believe the body is that of a
woman.
The body was found by Philip
Meagher, who after eight years res
idence there, was preparing to move
yesterday from the apartments and
opened the old trunk. The body was
jammed in tight and surrounded by
plaster of Paris and newspapers
A zinc tank fitted inside the trunk
exactly.
The only clue is the name "W.
Lewis" on the outside of the trunk.
Six years ago Lewis boarded with
Meagher. The newspapers in the
trunk dated from February 18th to
April 18th, 1902.
At the morgue today the coroner
and physicians made an examination
of the trunk of the body and found
it to be that of a man.
A surgeon declares that the vic
tim was placed in trunk still alive
and that death resulted from as
phyXiation.

Monument for Adam.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 1S.-Because
of the part played by an apple in
the downfall of Adam and Eve, it
is suggested that the management
of the National Apple Show, held

reparation to our ancestors by erect
ing a monument to their memory.
The project is being given serious
consideration, and it is possible that
this city may be the first to thus
pay tribute to the pair who were dis
possessed of the Garden Of Eden be
cause of Ewes curiosity regarding the
forbidden fruit.
