their wages.

Kiangsi, has fallen into the hands of

Prepares for Getaway"


Cautiously he made his way over the
cornice of the Liebes home and climbed
to the sloping roof. Clambering softly
over the roof, the thug looped an end
of the rope about the chimney top, in
suring his getaway" Then he slid
softly through the scuttlehole into a
garret bedroom, slipped down the gar
ret stairs and stood in the lighted up
per hallway.
Below him he could hear the party at
supper. The talk had turned on the
Eppinger robbery in the neighborhood
three days before, and Miss Kennison,
the maid, remarked that she saw a
suspicious looking man leaning against
the garden fence early in the evening.
Listening the thug heard Miss Kenni-
son describe him. Later hysterical
with fright, the young woman declared
that the intruder and the hanger on
were the same person.
The jewels of the Liebes lay in dress
er drawers in a by Q foot dressing
room adjoining the bedroom. The thief
worked deftly, seizing q pearl necklace
worth $1,000, a diamond bar valued al
$500. a comb with pearl insets worth
500, a $3.50 diamond ring and other
pieces of jewelry estimated to be worth
nearly $4,000 by Liebes.
The burglar heard Mrs. Liebes APP
preaching the dressing room. He hast
lily slid the drawers in place and slipped
into a clothes closet nearby. Mrs
Idebes, Miss Kennison and little George
entered and Mrs. Liebes prepared for
the theater. The maid locked the door
and Liebes came upstairs and went tc
his own room.
A second later the man burst from
the closet, thrust his revolver in Mrs.
Liebes' face, saying:
..If you move or cry, I'll kill you.'
Miss Kennison jumped to unlock the
door and the child started after her.
The pistol lowered toward the child.
And then, forgetting her fear of death.
Mrs. Liebes seized the burglars pistol
hand and strove with him for its pos
session. In the boxlike room the two
fought without a sound. Then the maid
flung wide the door, and the thug. see
ing the chance of escape, let go his re-
volver, bowled over Liebes. who was
approaching. sprang up the garret
stairs and disappeared.
Liebes, armed with the robbers re-
volver and reinforced by neighbors,
started in pursuit, but could find no
trace of a, bareheaded man. Liebes

HAYTIAN REBELS GAINING.
Uncle Sam Rushes Warships to
Scene of Trouble.

Washington, d. C.-The revolution
in Hayti is spreading so rapidly that
it is believed here to be doubtful if
the capital of the island republic will
much longer remain in possession of
President Simon. The political stu
alton steadily is growing worse, ac-
cording to the commander of the
United States gunboat Petrol, now in
Haytien waters for the protection of
Americans. His report to the Navy
department indicates that all of the
department north, except Cape Hayti-
en- and Forte Liberte, is controlled by
the revolutionists.
Because of the precarious situation
at Goniaves, the second important
city of the republic, where the revo-
lutionists are in power, the Petrol
sailed from Cape Haytien for that
place.
Realizing the Importance of having
some kind of naval vessel on the north
coast of Hayti, to replace the Petrol,
the Navy department cabled the com
handing officer of the Porto Rican
station boat at San Juan, Porto Rico,
to proceed Immediately to Cape
Haytien, where she probably will ar
rive within twenty-four hours. The
cruiser Des Moines from Boston, will
sail directly to Port au Prince. She
probably will make the trip in about
i've days.

EXPLOITATION TO BE VAST.
Southern Pacific Engages Chicago
Coliseum Annex.

Chicago entire West will be
advertised during the United States
Land and Irrigation congress to be
held at Chicago November Is TO De-
cember 9.
The Southern Pacific company and
other Hartman lines have engaged
the whole Of the Coliseum annex for
purposes of exhibition, and every
town. county or state tapped by these
lines, will be given the opportunity to
show what advantages il may have to
offer to the prospective homeseeker.
To further this purpose, the space
will be divided into lecture halls with
moving picture facilities, and the
towns and other centers that care to
participate in the exhibits will be in
vited to send moviog picture films and
lecturers to show the public the oppor-
tunities for homes offered in the vari-
Gus districts. Photographs taken
along the lines of the Southern Pacific
depicting the most interesting phases
of home, farm and industrial life will
also be shown.
The Land and Irrigation congress
has planned TO occupy the entire Coli
scum at Chicago. but as the space al
lotted TO the several exhibits was
thought not sufficient for that planned
by the Southern Pacific for its West
ern patrons, that company concluded
TO secure the annex for the Western
exhibits.

FEAR MORE TROUBLE
Washington Worried Over Fresh
Disorders IN Mexico.
Mexican Liberals Threaten American
Observation-Disclosures Wilson
Takes Up Case.

| Washington, ID. C.-The report of q
delicate situation in Lower California
has increased the anxiety of the adj
ministration over recent developments
in Mexico.
Conditions in that part of the coun-
try were threatening several months
ago, but with the termination of the
Madero revolution Mexico obtained
permission to send troops across
American territory to quell the indie
pendent movement there. The armed
and so-called Socialistic rebellion,
however, died out before the soldiers
reached the scene. Since then it had
been supposed that peace and content
ment had settled in that quarter of
Mexico and that the lives and property
of American citizens were secure.
Now, however, American ranchers
in Lower California are being threat
ened by the so-called Mexican Lib
erals. The United States has request
ed the government of Mexico to afford
them adequate protection.
The State departments attention
was drawn to the situation in a tele-
gram from the American consul at
who reported that Ameri-
cans had been molested and had ap-
pealed to him for assistance.
Ambassador Wilson, at Mexico
City, was Immediately instructed to
take up the subject with President de
la Barra.

Compliments Exchanged at Fetes

st. Die, France, July 49, TIL,
Franco-American fetes in honor Of
the naming of America continued to
day. The United States Ambassador
Robert Bacon, and M. LeBrun, the
French minister of colonies, after ar
automobile trip through the pictur.
esque outskirts Of the town, proceeded
to the city hall, where the municipality
gave banquet in honor of the dis
tinguished guests.
Mr.. LeBrun proposed the health of
the American ambassador. He spoke
in English. saying the French govern
ment was glad to take part in the
fetes because it afforded France an OPP
pounity of responding to the express
sions of sympathy for France in
America, which were especially nu-
merous this year, and of deducting
from this sentiment certain guaran-
tee that no material difficulty could
affect the bonds of confidence and
friendship which united the two coun-
tries.
Ambassador Bacon said in reply
that his presence at the fetes as a rep
of his government proved
that the United States had forgotten
neither her baptism nor the sword
which France threw into the scale for
her independence. The celebration
closed with an aviation exhibition at
he aerodrome. Twenty thousand per-
IONS saw brilliant flights by Fommer
