MAN AND WIFE IN AUTO SHOT
Wealthy Buffalo Couple Attacked From Ambush While Riding on
 Country Road.

Buffalo, Sept. 1.-The police are unable to solve the probable fatal shooting of George Hammer of this city and the wounding of his wife while riding in their automobile, near North Tonowanda, en route to this city. Both are in St. Mary's Hospital in Niagara Falls, where it was said that Hammer, a wealthy man, probably would die.
 The shooting was from ambush, and both Hammer and his wife insist they have not the slightest idea who was responsible for the shooting.
 Just as the car turned into Schenck street, North Tonawanda, some one fired shot from behind a pile of lum- Der. Hammer threw up his hands and slid into the bottom of the car, with a bullet through the top of his head. The chauffeur brough the car to a stop just as the person in ambush fired again. the second bullet striking Mrs. Hammer in the leg.

U. S. WARNS OF SUMMARY Ac- TON IF FEDERALs AND REB-

DOUGLAS IS THREATENED
ReVoutionist Says He Will Shell the Town if American Troops h. terfere-Twenty Ameri-
 cans Prisoners.

El Paso, Tex, Sept. 14.-Warned by United States officers in command on the border that any firing across the line would be followed by prompt action on the part of the United States troops, 5000 Mexicans fought all night on the outskirts of Agua Prieta in the most desperate engagement of the vices received here. Fifteen hundred rebels, under Gen. Rojas, began the attack on Agua Prieta, under cover of darkness, driving the federal out posts back from the skirmish line and moving to the outskirts of the town.
 Reinforced by 900 Yaqui and Maya Indians from Juarez, the federals moved out to meet the rebels, the defenders numbering about the same as the attacking army.
 In Douglas, 1,500 American troops guarded the border line, and the American city virtually is in state of siege, menaced constantly by the bullets from both armies across the border.
 Twenty Americans Prisoners.
 Inez Salazar, rebel leader in So- nora, is taking no part in the battle at Agua Prieta. Instead, he is at tacking Americans and seizing Amer. ican property in Colonia Morales. the dispatches received here declare. With 600 men, Salazar Is said to have taken possession of Colonial. His men broke into all houses, stores were footed and the fate of 20 American Mormon col. onists, who were taken prisoners by the rebels, is unknown
 Gen. Rojas, commanding the rebels attacking Agua Prieta, has taken a most hostile attitude toward the United States soldiers in Douglas. He sent word to Gen. W. s. Schuyler, who has assumed personal command of the American troops, that he has can. non trained on Douglas and will bonn. bard the American town If there is any interference. Rojas declared that as the Americans had aided the fed erals they must take the conse- quences. All American troops are held ready to cross the border on a mo. ment's notice.

Washington, Sept. 14.-All S3 so- celled Cunningham Alaska coal land claims involving alleged fraudulent hlanbet patents, which contributed to the Ballinger-P -Pinchot controversy, have been disposed of finally by the Interior Department.
 The appeals have been decided ad- yersely, and Secretary Fisher has di- rected the immediate execution of the decision of Commissioner Dennett of the General Land office, who held the claims were improperly allowed and that the entries should be canceled.

BUSINESS MEN AS WATERS

Twenty-Five walters walked out at the

prominent I'm business circles, volun-
teered their services, and seventy-tiye
guests were served with little delay.
Frank Archambault, the manager, had
heard that his twenty-nine walters were
mutinous, and he called them together.
They didn't seem able to agree on any
special grievance. So Archambault told
them to go. All but four did.
Then the manager explained his pre-
dIcament to the men and women in the
dining room and asked them to have
patience. In a moment the novices had
donned aprons, taken checks and PEN
ellis and begun work. Arthur Tunis, a
Wall Street broker; Howard Morton, a
retired broker, and Daniel j. Singer. an
insurance agent, were among the vol

Washington, June 12-By the close

The action of the Senate to-day practi-
cally puts the question up to President
Taft, as it is taken for granted that the
House will agree to the report of the
conference committee.
The narrow margin by which the mo
ticn to reconsider the report was lost to-
day and the previous vote on the adop-
ton Of the report indicate how the slight
est change would have turned the scales
in favor of General Wood. The report
would have been called back and re
jected yesterday afternoon had Senator
MARITIME made his motion to reconsider.
This he refused 10 do at the time. When
the motion was put to-day the anti
Wood forces happened to be in the ma
jority.
Officials of the War Department as
sert that the bill would cripple the Gem
eral Staff and the war college. The in
sular bureau would be swept bare OF
specially trained officers. Most of the
military attaches abroad, including two
Oriental experts i'm China, would have
