.UNEARTH PLOT ID
 POISON CHILDREN Children Belong to Families
 Who Testified in Slan- der Suit

Fulton, Mo, August 6.-What county authorities believe to be a plot for the wholesale poisoning of children has been unearthed at Concord, in Galloway county, and as result two men and a woman were arrested there today and brought to Fulton to be arraigned. The persons arrested are Lee Boyd, farm CT, his wife. Mrs. Anna Boyd, and Jeff ferson Woods, horse dealer.
 The children, whose lives were en- dangered, belong to families whose members testified In a islander suit re- gently brought by Mrs. Boyd against Dr. w. B. Ellis, a physician of Con- cord. Mrs. Boyd asked s15,OO0 dam ages, alleging that Dr. Ellis had de- famed her character
 The jury brought in verdict for the defendant
 The first alleged attempt on the lives of the children was made several weeks ago when a package of chewing gum was found in the yard of Edward Me Pheeters, nephew of Judge Robert Me Pheeters of Fulton. Less than week ago another package of gum was placed near the gate of the McPheeters home. It was found to have been sprinkled with strychnine. Twice since then packages have been found to contain strychnne.
 The placing of gum on the premises in the vicinity of Concord has become frequent the last few days.
 All the gum which has been found has been preserved and will be ex- amined
 All the families on whose premises the poisoned gum has been placed have small children.
 Tonight bond was fixed at 5000 for Mrs. Boyd and $2000 each for Boyd and Woods. All gave bail. No preliminary hearing vii be held and the case will be docketed for the September term Of court.

BRITISH TRAINING
 CRUISER STRANDED
Strikes Same Rock as Niobe, Which She Was Going Out
 to Tow

Halifax, N. S., August GA wireless dispatch received in this city tonight says the British cruiser Cornwall Is stranded on the ledges of Cape Sable, a few miles from where the Canadian flagship Niobe went on the rocks July 30. The message stated that the Corn wall apparently had sustained no seri- ous damage.
 The Cornwall is an armored cruiser of 9800 tons and is used as a train ing ship. She has about 300 cadets on board, besides regular crew and was on her way from St. Johns, N. F., to Clark's harbor to tow the damaged Canadian cruiser Niobe to this city. The Cornwall left St. Johns last Thurs day after she had returned from a cruise around the New Foundland coast. The whole coast line was enveloped in a thick fog tonight and this Is be- lieved to have caused the CornwalTs stranding. The rock where she struck is about two miles from the lodges which nearly proved the undoing of the Niobe.

MAYES IDENTIFIED
 AS BOLD ROBBER

Salt Lake City, August 6.--James Mayes, 36 years old, who claims to be an auto- mobile repairer, recently from Portland, Ore, is under arrest here, charged with being the bandit who held up passen- gers on the Salt Air railway last night. The hold-up took place as the train was nearing Salt Lake City from the resort and three persons were shot and slightly wounded. The bandit was finally knocked from the running board of the open coach and, although pursued. escaped in the darkness.
 Later Mayes was arrested in the rail- road yards, short distance from the scene of the robbery. He denied the &C., cusation, but today he was identified by four or five of the passengers who had been held up, including the three who were wounded.
 In his pockets was found a coin, car ried as pocketpiece by one of the vic tins. This coin has been positively iden- tified.
 The three persons wounded by the ban dit are all recovering. Mayes says he was scuffling on the train and was pushed off.

GOMEZ ID RUN FOR
 V|CE PRESIDENCY
Will Not Withdraw From
 MaderO Ticket
CONFERENCE IS HELD
President De La Barra, Francisco l. Madero and General Reyes Guests at Army Luncheon
 in Honor = President

Mexico City, Mex, August 6.-Though frankly expressing displeasure because of the dismissal of his brother from the cabinet and the arrest of former officers of the revolutionary army winch threat ened De La Barra with revolt If he were not reinstated, pr. Francisco Fasques Gomez will not withdraw as candidate for the vice presidency on the Madero ticket at least not at present.
 This is the decision reached by pr. Vasouez and Francisco I. Madero at the conclusion of conference which lasted for more than an hour today.
 That the relations of the two men had been a bit strained was well known but that Madero was able to talk his old ad- visor into line was no surprise to those who have seen him convert more rebel iious followers into ardent supporters. The tangled political situation was thor oughly discussed and the announcement that pr. Vasquez does not intend to withdraw is taken to mean that his brother, Emilio Vasquez Gomez, will not accept the nomination for the presidency.
 Dr. Vasquez appeared to be in a pessl- mistic mood when he talked to a news paper man prior to his conference with Madero. They were talking of the action of the President In ordering the arrest of those who signed the protest against De La Barra for dismisslng his brother from the department of the interior.
 q consider it a most impolitic move- want l,a cold ere s,,cb nroceedings are continued a number of men will raise the standard of revolt and, seeking the fast nesses of the mountains, carry on guer- rilla warfare.
 ''We are now in time of peril ana great tact should be used to keep all elements within bounds After the election the government can proceed with more surety. but for the present we should strive nov to provoke men to take up arms against the existing authorities I feel quite sure that if the present policy s followed it will result in grave danger to the Mex ican nation.'
 President De La Barra, Francisco I. Madero and Gen. Bernardino Reyes were guests at luncheon given today by the army in honor of the president It fol- lowed formal presentation of the colors to a new battalion and review of 1000 troops by the nations executive. All three men were recipients of ovatton,, and General Reyes, now the political op- ponent of Madero in his race for the presidency, won an extra portion of ap- plause when in a speech he told the off, cers that the elections must be free and |open and that they must not feel as they +, T ,,, f1of fIA,y port any one man.
 Reyes influence over the army once was second perhaps only that of General Diaz.

 IN NEW YORK

New York, August 6.-The Coney Island and Brooklyn Railroad company ran half empty cars nine hours today between 20-mile lines of 1900 police men.

It passed through single files of bluecoats ringing hostile crowds of thousands and reached It's destina- tion safely after having picked up half a dozen passengers. Awed by the heavy guard the strike sympathizers did not modest 1t. Not an hour later the sec ond car began running. Thereafter service was maintained al irregular in tervals until o'clo-n tonight when the police were notifed that no more cars would be run for 12 hours.
 As the day advanced the crowds be- came uglier and double crews were placed upon all cars on the three lines affected by the strike.
 More than a dozen cars were pelted with missiles and in each blood was spilled. Mrs. Lena Wetsengrum of Yonkers, a passenger, was taken to a hospital probably with Q fractured skull. A dozen persons or whereabouts were rendered unconscious by flying stones, while many moro sustained decorations and bruises. The rioting be- came so serious late today that many cars olx n hA ha TT q after having gone less than half way to Coney Island.
