The Universal TARGET.

Speak kindly to the millionaire;
Perhaps he does his best.
Don't try to drive him to despair
With rude. unfeeling jest.
Don't laugh at portraits which display
His face with comic leer,
And when he gives his wealth away
Don't take it with a sneer.
Speak kindly to the millionaire.
He has right to live
And feel the sun and breathe the air
And keep his coin or give.
You may be rich yourself. you see,
Before Your life is through.
Speak kindly. and remember he
is human Just like you.

New York grand jury's special inves-
tieating committee was unable to
discover crime wave in that city.
After exhaustive investigation, Mayor
Gaynors police policy was given COM
plete vindication. This is a triumph
for the mayor. and we have no doubt
he is now glad he recovered from the
bullets of the would-be assassin, and
that he will go right on doing what
he believes to be right, in spite of the
attacks Of such enemies as Corrigan.

TO THE pEoPL OF MAINE:

For more than half century temper
anee reformers throughout the world
have rejoieed at the effective stand
which your State has made against the
| assaults of the liquor traffic Again YOU
are called upon to defend your hard-won
rights against yet another assault of an
enemy as insidious and INSCRIPTIONS in
| method as he is cruel and selfish in his
| objects. Many years ago your state
learned the lesson which the civilized ma
| tons are learning with increasing randi
| ty, that it is the removal of the cause of
lntemperance which can alone secure a
| nation against the disastrous result of
| intemperance. Filled with an earnest de-
sire to safeguard your family life, and to
secure for your children an environment
Icleansed from the demoralizing influences
| OF the drinking saloon, your state march
ed straight for that ultimate goal of pro-
hibition to which all tile civilized ma
| tlons OF the world are looking as the only
| real safeguard against the drink evil
The principles which you were among
| the frst to adopt have now become wide
| ~ accepted among social reformers
throughout the world who owe you a
DEBT which can never be repaid Today
you have yet another opportunity of
| proving to the world the truth of the
| principles for which your forefathers
| fought. You have yet another opportuni-
| ty of showing to the world that the man.
hood of New England is as strong to re-
Islst the aggression of selfish and home
oesoiauhg greed as ever it was. AS your
comrades in temperance effort we from
across the seas-your brthren and sis
'ers In that comman bond of common
orfgin-wish you God speed.

GAYNOR ANNOUNCES
 FAITH IN MIR. HYDE

New York; May 3.-In a letter ac- cepting the resignation of City Cham berlain Charles H. Hyde, who yester- day was indicted in connection with the Carnegie Trust fiasco. Mayor Gaynor today expressed confidence in Mir Hyde, declaring that he has always found him honest and correct to d dot and that he hates to see him Sacrificed even for the time being.
 In MT. Hydes letter of resignation, which the mayor made public together with his own letter of acceptance, the retiring chamberlain says that the "humiliating necessity of answering to an indictment" on bribery charge in which he finds himself is due to o campaign waged against him by cer- tain political enemies and their news paper allies.' He reiterates that Tt will only be short time until the whole conspiracy is laid bare." but that under the circumstances he felt that he was taking the proper course in ask ing the mayor to appoint his success sor. Maynor Gaynor has not yet an- nounced MT. Hydes successor.

REBELS REPORTED
 SMUGGLING ARMS

Douglas, Ariz., May 3-Reports were received today from the Mexican side that rebel leaders of Sonora smuggled two machine guns and three-inch field piece across the boundary near here last night
 The guns came in over the Southern Pacific railroad to Tucson, whence they were hauled in two wagons with plenty of ammunition, through the forest gand across the border line. It is said the rebels intend to use them in an attack on Agua Prieta.
 Some of the mines in Chihuahua are shipping bullion over the Yaqui extension of the Southern Pacific railroad to Quay amas on the Pacific coast. This is made necessary by the closing of railroads run ming into the United States.
 It is said the rebels under Giron have placed 50 men at each station along this line. Heavy shipments of silver and gold are said to have been made over the line, the rebels assisting in transporting the bullion safely for Americans

FIFTY FEDERALS KILLED BY REBELS Fierce Battle Takes Place in Mountains-Rebels
 Retreat

Presidlo, Tex, May 3.--tVia Maria, Tex, May 3D-Fifty federal soldiers were killed yesterday in the battle of the city of Ojinaga and the column of government troops under Colonel Cor dlllio. marching to the relief of the beeaguered city. The insurgents were defeated after a six hours battle and the leader, Gen. Jose De La Cruz San chez, was wounded. The insurrectos re- treated to the town Of Mulato, an in surrecto stronghold, 25 miles distant. Gordillio entered the city last night with 800 soldiers and two field guns. For nearly eight weeks the federal force under General Gonzalo Luque has been besieged by Sanchez at ojinaga.
 A week ago scouts came riding into camp with the news that the soldiers were disembarking at Falomoir. the end of the Kansas City Orient and Mexico railroad, 70 miles away. Taking column of cavalry, numbering $50 men General Sanchez marched to the base of the mountains and waited a day for reports from his scouts. It was learned that Gordillio was marching toward Cuchillio Parade across the mountains. Sanchez made a forced march across trail killing many of his horses but arrived too late. Gordillio had defeat ed a force of 50 recruits organizing at Cuchillio Parade and entered the town. l His soldiers footed the place, 1t IS claimed, and destroyed the household | goods of absent citizens. Leaving Col. Toribio Ortega with force of 100 men to harass Gordillio, Sanchez again crossed the mountains to make the final assault on Ojinaga. On his arrival there he learned that Gordillio had left Cu- chillio Parade and marching rapidly on the wagon road to Ojinaga followed by Ortega's column, Sanchez moved out to meet him and took up position at Fl Mato, 300 miles away. Gordllio made frontal attack with his infantry and artillery, while his cavalry engaged Ortega at the rear For six hours the fight went on and it seemed another federal defeat was inevitable Securely hidden behind the crest of a hill the insurgents had the soldiers at disadvan- tage. At least 50 of Gordlllio's men were killed on the slope and the column was forced to retire snort distance.
 | fall from the sky into the insurgents ranks A company of Pima Indians with the federals had sealed sheer mountain wall, took positions above the insurgents and made the hill untenantable.
 l General Sanchez was wounded. three insurgents were killed and five wounded. | Falling back elowly Sanchez sent word from Ojinaga to Col. Antonio Villareal, in charge of the besieging party, and or dered him to fall back to Mulato. When his artillery and wagon train were safe 1 behind him the insurgents withdrew to Mulato, leaving the road clear for Cor dilio, who marched into Ojinaga.
 | Forty horses belonging to the insur- gents tied in a canon were captured by | the Pima Indians. The Associated Press correspondent with the insurgents lost his horse and was forced to walk to Mulato with the rear guard.

.LAUR|ER WILL 60
 ID CORONATION Canadian Leaders Agree That Canada Must Be
 Represented

Ottawa, Ontario, May 3.-As a result of a conference between Sir Winifred Lau- rier and R. L. Borden, the opposition leader, an understanding was reached that the prime minister. with Sir Fred erick Borden and l.. P. Brodeur, will leave on the Virginian, sailing from Que bee on May 13, to attend the imperial conference and the coronation.
 Assurance was given by the opposition leader that there would be no obstruc- tion in the commons for at least three or four months during the premiers ab- sence, and that the political crisis threat ened would not come to a head during the premiers absence, if it comes at all.
 The understanding between the two leaders is not coupled with any condi- ton that the government will in any way abandon it's reciprocity proposals. The premer's decision is in line with urgent requests from Great Britain and a gen. eral sentiment among members of par liament that Canada should be represent ed by it's first minister at both the con ference and the coronation.
 The question as to what will happen to the reciprocity agreement in parlia- ment meanwhile is still problematical and there is no definite agreement on this point
