number OF dead from pestilence and
famine by spring.
All but the very we'll to do have
been reduced to cruel food and a

even that. In one town, only three
families have food.
The farmers have to sell their lands
for food and they will have no land

GIRL Who HAD
TRANSFORMS
One Of Her Storms Cost Policeman
Hibbins of Peoria to Lose His
Club and Metal
Star.
HE TOOK HER HOME PRIMARY
Girl Wandering on the Streets
Night Was Not Taken to the
Station BY The
Officer.

PEORIA. Ill.,, Feb. 3.-Patrolman
John Hibbins was summarily dismis-
sed from the police force at the con-
clusion of an all morning session of
the board of fire and police commits
sioners. The charges preferred
against him were declared proven by
the investigating board
The dismissal OF Hibbins comes as
the direct result of sensational charg-
es made with regard to his alleged In
timacy with a young girl fifteen years
old. At the investigation it was
found that the girl was older; that
there were no improper relations
proved between her and the police
officer, but that the latter had been
guilty Of grave indiscretion and of
drinking while on duty.
It had been declared that Hibbins
and the girl were found together at
3 o'clock in the morning OF January
23 in a depraved state at the patrol
mans residence on University avenue.
Evidence produced at the trial by Mrs.
Anna Mayall, police matron, was to
the effect that she had interviewed
the young woman and that the latter
said Officer Hibbins had done nothing
ungentleman1y
From the statements OF a relative
1t was brought out that the girl was
subject to frequent ''brainstorms :"
the result of mind weakness in her
younger life. When the storms
came upon her she would often wan
der away from home in an aimIess
fashion and seek shelter at the homes
of some Of the neighbors That was
the case on the night of January %.
Shortly after she disappeared her
absence was detected and the sister
began search. In the meantime
the girl had been found by pedes-
trian who turned her over to Officer
Hibbins with the remark that she
seemed to be lost and unable to find
her home. Instead of Immediately
informing the commanding officer,
according to the regulations, Officer
Hibbins took her home with him as
he went to lunch at midnight.
OF damaging Importance to the Of
ficer was the testimony that he told
the girl not to make a noise as they
entered his home in order that his
wife might not be awakened. Both
Officer Hibbins and Mrs. Mayall in
sisted that there had been nothing
improper, but when the fact that
the police regulations for reporting
such cases had not been compiled
with and from the fact that Hibbins
admitted drinking while on duty, the
investigation board decided the fault
great enough for immediate dis
missaI.
Hibbins was suspended on the morn
ing following his escapade

Objects to Being Referred to as Half
Baked IN an Address the
Lawyer Made to
Doctors.
CONTEMPT OF COURT
Thirty Days In jail With No Fine is
What the Court Would Like
to Hand the
Attorney.

NEW YORK, Feb 3.-Judge Swami
of the Court Of Special Sessions said
that he would commit w. T. Jerome
to prison for contempt If it were shown
to his satisfaction that Mr.. Jerome
Knew that what he said at the Acad-
eny of Medicine Wednesday night
about judge and jury in the Robin
case was going to be published. What
Mr. Jerome said to the doctors was:
Your profession and mine have
been insulted by this half-baked Judge.
who holds office by the grace OF
Charley Murphy. = . Shall an incom-
petent judge and a rag-tag jury out
weigh the Judgment of honest medical
men?"
This was comment on the trial of
Robins sanity in which jury held
him to be sane despite the testimony
of five allentists to the contrary.
"Giye me evidence that Mr.. Jerome
knew a reporter was in possession of
notes Of the speech he made prior to
its appearance in a newspaper, and
will give you Mr.. Jerome's cell num-
Der" said Judge Swami. Il promise
YOU he will be committed, and there
will be no fine. Mr.. Jerome will be
ashamed to give an account of himself
for thirty days"
Judge Swami made the statement
in his private chambers after he had
had colloquy with the former dis.
srict attorney m court, where Robin
had been arraigned to plead to the
eight indictments charging him with
grand larceny from the Northern
Bank and the Washington Savings
Bank
Jerome denied Judge Swami, and re-
fused to enter plea for Robin after
he had been ordered to do so by the
court, The judge then ordered the
statutory plea of not guilty to be en-
tered, and Robin was led back to the
Tombs.
This action followed remarkable
scene in the courtroom. large
crowd had assembled, in the expecta,
tion Judge Swami would punish Mr.
Jerome. When court convened Judge
Swami told Mr.. Jerome that the criti-
cism had deeply grieved him and ask
ed If he knew reporters were present
when he made his denunciation.
Jerome replied that he did not know
reporters were present, but that it
would have made no difference. He
was willing, he said. to stand by his
utterances of that night.
Later, when Frank l.. Grant, presi-
dent of the Northern Bank, was up
for pleading. Howard Agans, who for
merly was an assistant district at
torney under Jerome. followed the
same tactics which his ex-superior
adopted in the Robin case. Judge
Swami took him sharply to task, and
ordered plea of not guilty in Grants
case.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-"After
Juarez is taken, Diaz will be driven
from Mexico within three months" said
the Mexican revolutionary leaders to-
day after reading today's dispatches.
"By taking Juarez, we will get the
customs house and this will give us
recognition. The capture of the city
will be Of the utmost Importance for
it will be news which cannot be sur.
pressed and the people will rally to
our cause. Hitherto our victories
have been suppressed by Diaz who
controls the press of the country"
The Mexican insurgents here have
received word that Juarez is to be oc-
cupied by the rebels before night.

Ell PASO, Tex, Feb. 3.-Desperate,
with insurrectos, 500 in number, only
twelve miles from the city, Juarez
officials blew up the Seggerson powd-
er magazine in that city to prevent
the rebels capturing it. The explosion
shook both Ell Paso and Juarez. The
Juarez postoffice was moved to this
side of the river, with all It's funds
and stamps, and the two banks, the
Banco Nacional and the Banco de Mi.
nero, moved their funds during the
day to Ell Paso. Both banks are doing
business in Ell Paso In connection with
local banks.
That the rebels number 500 is de-
clared by James r. Garfield, former
secretary of the interior, who was on
the passenger train, bound for Ell Paso
from the City Of Mexico, that was held
up from Sunday to Wednesday night,
south of El Paso. Mr.. Garfield and
other passengers helped to relieve the
rebel injured by bandaging their
wounds with Pullman sheets torn up
for bandages. Miss Annette B. Cowles,
a trained nurse from the City of Mex
leo, directed the work of relieving the
distressed.
The announcement is made that
the rebels would attack Juarez this
afternoon between 8 and o'clock,
and that such notice had already been
sent from the rebel camp to the con-
suis in Juarez giving them proper
notice to get their subjects to safety
in Ell Paso.
The federals had expected re-en-
forcements from the south from Cas-
as Grande, but when the Northwest
ner train arrived from Casas Grande
there were no re-enforcements aboard.
An effort was made to induce train
crews to go down to Casas Grande and
get Col. Robago and his forces and
bring them to Ell Paso, but no volun-
teers could be obtained. The Mexican
Central is cut in several places and
re-inforcements are impossible from
