A BOLD
 ROBBERY! !
Border vidette News boys Held Up on Main Street in Broad Daylight.

The OOldeSt, most DraZen 0arlnR robbery perpetrated in Nogales since Black Jack and his gang of cut -throats attempted to hold up and rob the now defunct Interna- tional Bank at high moon fifteen years ago, occurred on Morley avenue only few feet across the international line in Mexico at one-thirty o'clock last Saturday.
 A lone highwayman, unmasked, however, and later positively ident- flied by a number of reputable Mexican nd American citizens, as Don Aquiles Magoche, chief of police of Nogales, armed to the teeth, lay in wait for two small bare-footed newsboys whose duty it was to deliver THE BORDER VIDErrE on the Mexican side of the line to subscribers.
 Without warning the little iel- lows were rudely seized by the brave cabo de policia and with their undelivered papers hauled through the street, and notwith- standing their protests and tears, were taken to the office of Prospero Sandoval, the banker, who also holds the exalted, responsible posi- ton of presidente of Nogales, So- nora. -..s
 The presidente (mayor) not be- ing at his office, the triumphal procession, under command of the chief of police, proceeded to the palatial residence of that all power. ful official, who without legal right, reason or justice. after personally perusing a copy of THE VIDETTE, consigned the whole bunch-eighty papers, worth $S.OO-to jail or to he'll.
 The newsboys, after lengthy council of war between the presi dente and the chief of police, were told to go, with the admonition to sin no more.
 In tears, without papers or the price thereof. the little lads who had been held up and robbed in broad daylight, returned heart broken to this office and between sobs told of their terrible ex- perience.
 Several hours Attorney Frank J. of V1DETTE, tried to locate the mayor of Nogales, Sonora, but is was late in the afternoon when that gentle man was found at his office by MT. Duffy, who was accompanied by MT. l.. M. Raines, the mining man, and E. D. Miller, of THE VIDETTE.
 When asked to explain the un- precedented, high-handed action of his chief of police and the con- fiscation of this paper. Mir. Sando- val stated that he had been in structed by the powers that be in Hermosillo, to siege THE BORDER VIDETTE because 1t contained arti- cles regarding the revolutionists objectionable to the government.
 The matter, he said, was out of his hands; he could not return the papers. neither could he pay for them.
 Thus endeth the first chapter.

AIM OF THE YOUNG TURKS

Every seat was taken al both the after
noon and evening meetings of the Ma
tional Geographic Society yesterday
when Rear Admiral Chester, L. 8. N,
addressed the members on the Young
Turks and the latest developments in the
Ottoman empire. At the conclusion OF
his address Admiral Chester showed five
reels of motion pictures of subjects in
the Ottoman eH2&re and in the east. The
motion pictures We're taken by the new
method of photographing in natural
colors, and included scenes in CONSTANT
nople, on the Bosphorus, the land of
Mohammed and wedding.
Explaining in detail the Young Turk
politics, Admiral Chester said:
Covers a Wide Glass.
The term Young Turk is applied to
that vast class of Moslem subjects who
were disaffected by the growing burdens
placed upon them by the despotic action
of the ruling power. This term applies
alike to young and old. male or female;
those who lived in Turkey or were spread
broadcast over the face of the earth
through expatriatiop or the fear Of suf-
fering or death by residence IN the faith
L
comprised Christians and Jews as Well
as Turks. and embraced parts Of all the
various races which go to make up the
nation.
The committee of union and progress
was q secret organization within the
slingdom whose ranks We're recruited
from the Young Turk party, members Of
which were obliged to take the most
sacred oath known to the Mohammedan
religion, to. devote their whole energies
to the redemption of the country, to obey
every order given through the channels
of the society, never to reveal Its Sc
crets, and to kill any person however near
and dear to them whom the committee
might condemn to suffer death.
Harsh Greed Necessary.
''The harshness of this creed was due
to the necessity of fighting with fire the
devil who ruled the nation. and who him
self had organized the most diaboical
espionage system ever conceived-a sys-
tenn that created suspicion between man
and wife, brother AID shtor or even
mother and child-lest an indiscreet word
should bring death from the despot whose
