KEEP BULLETS At HOME.
Mexican BeIIigerents Notified to KEEP
OFF American Soil.

Washington, d. C.-President Taft
Is determined not only that battles be-
tween Mexican Federals and insurrec-
tos shall not be fought on American
soil. but that future combats must moi
be fought out so close to the American
line as to put in jeopardy the lives and
property of Americans.
Through the State department the
president thas notified the Mexican
government that IL must see to it that
hereafter no such unfortunate incident
as that at Aqua Prieta, when two
Americans were killed and III wound
ed, be allowed TO occur Through the
War department and the department
Of justice, there were sent similar
warnings TO both sides.
The view expressed at the White
house was that these warnings wouls
be obeyed TO the letter.

sandhogs unearth Relic.

Portland-As the sinking of the
first caisson of the Broadway bridge
continues, "sandhogs" of the Union
Bridge & Construction company are
wagering that in medieval times there
was sawmill on the waterfront, for
in their excavating operations there
have been unearthed quantities of
slabwood that appears as if it had
been whip-sawed out of logs instead
of being cut by modern steam saws.
Besides, it is found at great dis
lance below the river bed, where the
material is hardened more than silt.

lost in the wilds of Eastern Idaho last
December, cooked his buckskin gloves
to ward off starvation and, finding
that last chance meal repulsive, blew
out his brains. Ross body, leaning

Or make an attempt 10 save any Of
their personal effects until the report
had gone forth that all Of the patients

What added TO the danger to the pa
TENTS in the annex was the fact that
the structure was absolutely devoid Of
outside fire escapes. All Of the pa
tents had to be carried down the long,
narrow stairs and through the narrow
corridors. Had panic occurred in
the wards it is probable that scores of
nurses and patients would have been
killed.

Rep. Williams on Decides Not To
 Meet Socialists

Norwalk, Nov. 25.-Representative Charles E. Williamson has emerged from his shell and proceeds to throw cold water on the Socialists challenge, after this fashion:
 \ Darien. Conn, Nov. 22, 1s11. To Peder Back and Robert Lassen.
 Gentlemen Your letter of Novem- Der 18th, 1911, inviting me to appear at a meeting to be held November 27th, 1911, at the Town Hall, Darien, Conn.,, to make an explanation and defense of my action in the general Assembly in the matter of the Work ingmen's Compensation bill, is at hand and contents noted.
 You certainly have an original, If not unprecedented, way of extending an invitation to your meeting. You commence your letter with the accusa- tion that have 'in some speeches re- gently delivered in Bridgeport, will fully misrepresented the Socialists of the state,". which is not true, and then follow, with the. covert threat of 8 "warm reception,' and close the letter with the imputation that 1t is of im- portance to me to attend the meeting and give an account of my record at Hartford. The invitation is signed by gentlemen who are not electors of the Town of Darien. so far as appears by the records of the town, and who con sequently did not vote for me. In view of these facts, do not feel that it is incumbent on me to accept your invitation I do not hold, myself re- sponsible to the political party you assume to represent, and do not con- cede that my official acts need any defense before you.
 The whole proceeding is evidently for partisan and political purposes, and [ must decline to be a party to it.
 Very truly yours,
