A warrant is said to be out for
the arrest of hired man, who has
been employed on the farm OF
Murdock Buchanan near Twin
Lakes, charging him with attack
ing and beating Mrs. Buchanan.
The man demanded his pay dur
ing Mr.. Buchanan's absence. Mrs.
Buchanan explained that she had
no money, and the brutal attack
followed. The man, who was in
toxicated, then disappeared, and
no report of his whereabouts has
since been received. At last ac-
counts the condition of Mrs.
Buchanan was improving.

ON The MEXICAN BORDER
Bullets Cross Line And Kill
Americans.

New interest was aroused in the
Mexican insurrection April 13, when
the reports were sent out from Doug
las, Arizona, stating that Mexican
bullets crossed the border and killed
two Americans on United States soil.
Six others were wounded. The dead
and injured were all non-combatants
of Douglas which is close to the
Mexican border and Just opposite the
Mexican town of Aqua Prieta, and
the casualties are said to have been
incident to the capture Of Aqua
Prieta by a rebel force under "Red"
Lopez.
American troops crossed the border
and induced the federals to surrender,
thus checking the firing which was
endangering the lives of Americans
on United States territory. Douglas
was under constant FIRE for three
hours.
The incident was reported to the
government at Washington and an
order was issued by the war depart
ment warning the Mexican federals
and rebels to refrain from firing
across the border 10 the future.
President Taft also issued orders to
the United States troops to hold the
people of Douglas away from danger,
and directed that the troops do not
cross the line, but to arrest all non.
mbatants crossing from Mexico.
Much anxiety was felt IN official
circles at Washington, Sunday, and
increased as events progressed.
In the meantime, on Sunday, the
rebels, 1000 strong, occupied Aqua
Prieta and prepared to defend the
Mace against an effort OF the federal:
to retake 1t.
The federal troops made their at
tack April II but were repulsed afte
four hours of fighting, during which
the town OF Douglas, Arlz)na, wa
again under fire, two Americans be
Ing hit, several rushing to the bound
ary line to watch the battle despit'
warnings to keep out Of danger.
After "a hours OF fighting, the Mex
icap federals recaptured Aqua Priets
on the morning OF April l8. the reb
els abandoning the town after ex-
hausting their ammunition and foot
supplies.

Roosevelt Finishes His Last Ex-
tended Trir.

Theodore Roosevelt brought to
a close at Helena, Mont, April IL
with his departure for St. Paul,
the far western portion Of the tour
that he has designated as his ''last
extended speaking trip" and
which he planned while still in the
White House.
Mr.. Roosevelt has not allowed it
to appear at any time like a pre-
campaign tour. In view Of his
own conduct on the entire trip and
Of the one published mention he
has made of his plans when he
said at Spokane that he was snot
an aspirant for anything" and his
declaration that the tour is but a
"thank you" journey. this is the
only explanation to be made OF his
"swing around the circle"
Mr.. Roosevelt has been under a
running fire Of argument and per-
suasion by progressive leaders for
the last four weeks. In every one
OF the western states, where the
progressive movement is strong,
his coming has been the signal for
reports that he would lead that
wing OF the party in 1912.
Mr.. Roosevelt has refused to
discuss that possibility with any of
the men who have boarded his car
at different points hoping to talk
it over with him. His only ut
terance on the subject, unless in
purely private conferences, and
there have been very few, was the
Spokane declaration.
The view Of the situation taken
by the various progressive senators
and other leaders who have met
him on this tour is that Mr.. Roose-
welt does not desire ever again to
run for public Office. He is, they
.. say, entirely content with private
/. life.
His progressive friends are con-
vinced, however. that il the Re-
publican party should meet with
disaster in 1912 and the following
/ Democratic administration was not
to come up to his ideas Of govern
i ment, he may be induced to enter
the field in 1916.
Mr.. Roosevelt's tour through the
south, southwest and far west has
been marked by his "sermons" on
good citizenship. He has preached
his doctrines over and over again,
always striving for new illustrations
of his meaning and new ways Of
presenting his views. The re-
sponsibility Of the individual
citizen for the conduct of the
government, under which he lives,
has been the keynote of nearly
every address he had made in the
IL states where he has spoken.
| The popular election Of United
States senators has been
another point on which Mr.. Roose-
welt has talked with unflagging
zeal. In every state he has de-
clared for it and urged his hearers
to battle for it until the passage oil
the amendment to the constitution
was achieved.

Some Legislation Now in Pro-

The WOOL SCHEDULE
Senator Warren Opposes Hasty
Action.

Action.
Washington, D. c., April l5,-
The special session Of congress in its
second week has taken up its legis-
lative work with great vigor and the
democrats are encouraged to believe
that much work will be accomplish
ed during the session. By vote Of
2o6 to Is the bill proposing con-
stitutional amendment providing for
the direct election Of United States
Senators was passed. Only one
democrat opposed the measure, the
other fifteen voting against it were
republicans. The Canadian recipro-
city bill has also been favorably
reported. Among important bills
introduced was one to regulate the
traffic in cold storage products, an
other to increase the prestige Of the
American merchant marine, third
to regulate the issuance Of injunc-
tons and another bill to change the
date of the Inauguration of the Presi-
dent to the last Thursday in April
This last bill has often been up in
congress and it is an effort to ex.
tend the term Of the short session and
to fix the date of Inauguration which
has become a national pageant,
attracting hundreds Of thousands Of
people, to time Of year of fairer
weather than the proverbially cold
and stormy 4th Of March.
Up to the present time the demo-
cratic ways and means committee OF
the House had not contemplated
much more than a revision Of the
wool and cotton schedules, but
owing to their successes this week,
they realize that they have time for
! additional tariff revision. 1t is ex-
pected that the ways and means
committee will take up the woolen
schedule of the tariff bill without
waiting for the. report of the tariff
board, inasmuch as it is understood
that this board will not be able to
furnish information concerning the
woolen schedule during the present
session. The possible revision o
this schedule came up in the Senate
! on Thursday, when Senator Warrer
whom the late Senator Dollivel
characterized as the greatest shep
herd since Abraham" offered {
| number Of protests and memorial!
deprecating revision Of the WOO
schedule. The Wyoming senator
represents wool-growing state, bu
he said that these memorials do no
protest against ultimate revision, bu
simply prayed Congress to defe
action until proper information
could be received as a basis for scien
ti6c revision.
Senator Cummins has opened !.
long expected attack on the some

mission to present its final report a

the repeal Of the law creating tn
commission and removing it fror
the payroll as soon as its report
submitted. The commission, it wi
be remembered, consists OF eightee
members. This commission wa
organized in 1908. Senator Cum
Minis says that he believes it is tim
a definite financial plan should
submitted to congress, that he is ne
opposed to any Of the members I
, the committee. but that he though
sufficient time had elapsed for pos
tive results.

This was proved by a lit tie thing that happened to a close friend of mine, recently.

or less effectively.
 The social custom is ungener- ous because it takes the time of the governor, or the mayor, dur ing hours of the day when un- der ordinary circumstances his time would be his own; that is, most invitations are for the even ing. A popular mayor is forum ate if he can complete his social duties by midnight.
 Now it so happens that Mayor Buckingham has not evaded the social part of his duties. He has met the proper public demand for . his presence here and there with the same unvarying good nature with which he has confronted the other duties of his office, and this despite the fact that no mayor of Bridgeport has ever beenmore sought by neighboring communi- ties, whose invitations he has ac- cepted, carrying to their people . some of the atmosphere of pro- gress and social helpfulness which characterizes the second city in Connecticut.
 Yet some few have so forgot ten the customs of the land as to make it an issue against Mayor Buckingham that he has perform ed his social duties, and blame him because he has faithfully represented Bridgeport on so many occasions.
 When this criticism is analyZ- ed it reduces to the simple for mula that the mayor has been too generous in his devotion to social duties." It is admitted that there are some he must per form, but it is claimed there are some he might have omitted.
 This is we'll enough, but the diff. ficulty is in saying what should have been omitted.
 Should the mayor be the guest of your organization, sir, and not of the other fellows? Should he extend freedom of the city to State Business Mems association, and not to the State Federation of Labor?
 Should he greet Elks and not Moose?
 As There may be those to whom such questions are problem, but not to Mayor Buckingham.
 His answer was found in the dictates of sound democracy. He responded to all social demands as far as more important duties permitted. In doing so he has not lost friends, but has gained them. He has not injured his party, but, worthily representing it, he has increased its prestige and he has increased the city's reputation for hospitality and the love of the people for the city.
 Beyond the precincts of the city he has represented Bridge port more frequently than any other mayor. At home and abroad he has represented Bridge port well, and Bridgeport is proud of him.

THE SOCIAL DUTIES OF THE MAYOR THEIR
 ORIGIN AND THEIR DEMOCRATIC PERFORMANCE

From time immemoria1 the smost exalted public servants have
 been required by custom and long use to appear at certain social functions The origin of the .rps is buried in the misty past,
 But in this country, from Wash .inxton's day until now, it has, prevailed and the president is ex- pected to appear on suitable oc- easions at purely social affairs, where he is seen of the people, and where sometimes he express c important views on matters of state.
 If, this rule bears heavily upon t1Ae executive of the nation, it makes greater demands upon the fHovsrnors of states. But it is
 upon the mayors of cities that tths chief burden falls. Time was
 when the mayors appearance at ssfestivities was limited to the an- uua1 banquet of the Board of sr.asr or of some-'gFeats~cfvic ,ss1lxation. in whs per-
 ship was numbered the wealthy ana the influential.
 But civic organizations. frater- I mites and associations for use- ( ful or benevolent purposes have nourished nightly in the last few years. The time has passed when the. mayor can escape by accepting one Tor two invitations ; and ignoring all others. He must present an appearance on all suitable occasions to represent the city, giving, in the name of the municipality, welcome to the . stranger within the gates, or en- . couragement to men and women assembled for some good pur- : pose. sfs asfoi-ss F saali ha
 Again a certain demand Is made . upon a mayor. from outside, the more especially if he be a man of note, or a pleasing speaker. Here also custom demands ac- ceptance as far as possi- bIe of all invitations ' the the ofys being tfiatsia Tfty,ifnust not be churlish in dealing with it's neighbors.
 ] In fact a city counts itself for tunate, in having a chief executive who is much in demand among neighboring cities. There is a certain competition, legitimate and wholesome, among Ameri- can communities, for recognition and that which can be had through a successful and popular mayor is of the highest quality, and much more enduring than that gained by expensive adver- Using.
 In Europe the socia. demands upon public functionaries are ta- ken into considera ton, and a financial allowance is made to meet the .pecuniary demands in- Nolved in attendance upon all sorts of public events.
 But in this country the mayor, I or other officer, is expected to meet such demands out of his own resources and does so, more
