SMELLING TROOPS
ORDERED TO FRONT
SOLDIERS OVERLOOKED AT ORDER
SENDING THEM TO THE
MEXICAN BORDER.
TAKING THEIR FULL EQUIPMENT
For the First Time Since the Last
Clash With the Indians, the Bugle
Sounded the Call ITO Arms"
at Fort Smelling.

ST. Paul, March S.-OrQered TO move
at once to the Mexican frontier, where,
the orders say, they will be required
to do patrol duty and to protect the
interests of the border citizens of the
United States from encroachments on
the part of Mexican revolutionary or
federal troops, the entire garrison of
Fort Smelling, consisting of twelve
companies Of infantry and four troops
Of cavalry, together with machine
gun corps, will leave Fort Smelling for
the front. The post will be left in
charge of a detail of two men from
each of the cavalry troops and a bat
terry of field artillery.
Overjoyed at the prospect of active
service and chance to view the revo-
luton, the members of the various
companies are busily preparing for
the trip.
Equipped for a 60-day campaign,
with full rations, tentage, wagons and
all of the mounts, the soldiers will
belongings and baggage, which was
boxed up and stored away at the post,
where it will be left in charge of the
guard detail. Many of the buildings at
Fort Smelling will be closed and al
lowed to go cold until the quarters
are again required for the troops.
More than 1000 men and rs officers
of the Twentieth infantry and Fourth
cavalry regiments constitute the de-
tail Together with the wagon and
trains of two sections each. Lieuten-
ant Colonel Plummer, commandant at
the past, will be in command. His
orders are to leave at once.
Il understood this order comes d.
rect from President Taft" declared
the commandant, and he is summon
ing US to the front to see how quickly
the standing army can be modified.
We expect to be inspected and review
ed frequently, but they have not caught
us unprepared We are ready to fight
if necessary and will leave as fast as
we can load cars.
Some time ago we began preparing
for possible call, as we are second on
the roster for foreign service. There
fore the troops were given light cloth
ing and all of the necessary supplies.
They looked for an order either to the
Philippines or Panama. AS matter
of fact, we may yet go to Panama, or
maybe we will be sent from Kansas
City to some other place"
There was the greatest enthusiasm
among the troopers when, shortly after
10 a. NJ, the bugle sounded the muster
call and the men were ordered to pre-
pare to move at moments notice.
Among the infantrymen the an
nouncement was received with a shout
and the tassing of hats. Within a very
short time the barracks were trans
formed from the orderly quarters of
morning inspection to the turmoil of a
general house clearing day. There
was mailing and locking of boxes and
trunks and polishing of weapons and
accoutrements.

FAMINE CHINA.

Present reports confirm earlier ad-
vices of the suffering from famine in
district in the northern province of
Aphui, north and east OF Hwai and
Kwo rivers, China, about Z 200 square
miles in extent and containing q popu-
lation of approximately two and half
million people. The famine was caused
by the destruction of fall crops through
floods resulting from the heaviest rain
falls on record. Thousands of refugees
have left the district but many of these,
unsuccessful in seeking support else
where, are already returning, preferring
to die in their native place. It is esti-
mated that a million people, hard
working farmers, will be dependent
upon charity for their existence until
the spring crops. Robber bands as
early as September, desperate at the
prospect of starvation and some OF
them we'll armed, travelled through
the country pillaging, terrorizing and
killing.
Twenty-three inches of rain, it is re-
ported, fell in "a hours at one time OF
the rainy season and the resultant
floods swept away hundreds OF villages.

A jury was selected and the opening
statements OF counsel for both were
made yesterday ut the trial OF Mrs.
Laura Farnsworth Schenk, in Wheel
ing, w. Va, who is charged with ad-
ministering poison with intent to kill
her wealthy husband, John .. schenk.

declaration OF ]. P. O'Bren, counsel
for the woman, in his statement to the
jury.
That Mrs. Schenk administered
poison to her husband, and that the
motive she had for killing him was that
she might secure all the nlohey he had,
we're the facts Prosecuting Attorney j..

dence were decided upon just before

ments to the court. The introduction

had actually succeeded in administer
ing poison to Schenk was the main
point dwelt upon. He claimed that
the state will be able to show that the
lead poison was first administered, and
that arsenic was later given. Schenk,
he said, returned from Europe strong
and healthy in May, and within a few
days the effects of the deadly drug were
noticeable.
I'VE will also PROVE" he declared,
THAT she made an agreement with an
attendant o. Mr.. Schenk whereby she
was to pay this attendant certain sum
of money if the attendant would ad-
minister certain poison pill, sufficient
to have killed him Immediately.

DR.. Frederick A. Cook, the explorer,

Charlottesville, Va:
THE Waldorf Astoria.
s'New York. Jan, 8.
my Dear Sir: I am only beginning
to open the large mass of correspon-
dence which reached me through
various sources during the past year.
II find in these letter from you.
The kind, friendly sentiments express
ed are appreciated all the more because
OF the subsequent events.
There is hardly word OF truth in
all that the press has printed during the
past year. I want you to read carefully
only the things which appear over my
signature. Even then the headlines
and the captions are often misleading,
and over these writer has no control.
The Mount Mckinley mechanism
is oiled by the drippings from the
arctic trnst' which we will show
presently.
The polar conquest is an accom-
plished personal venture in spite of the
bitter campaign waged against me.
Il urge you to await with patience
the final judgment on this problem,
for in the end right will prevail, and
we are sure to win out. Sincerely
yours,
FREDERICK A. Cook"
