 Her After Arrest. BABIES ARE POISONED
Hospital MySter Deepens-AttOrney For Young Woman Makes
 Statement.

New York, Feb. 24.-"I told them that I poisoned the babies. Yer as sure as God is above me I am not guilty. l said I couldn't pay the state $1,0O0 and I couldn't lose my baby"
 With these words Winifred Ankers in her cell in the Tombs today re- pudiated the confession made to de- tectives last night after three days of intense questioning that she pois- oned the, eight babies who died wys- teriously in the Brooklyn Nursery Hos pital, where she is employed as maid of all work.
 Edward J. Riley, who was engaged as attorney for the young woman, today after a two hours talk with her, said:
 ''From what the young woman tells me am fully convinced that sne did rot give the poison to the babies, as she is alleged to have stated in confession to the police. She told me that there is only one supply cab- inet in the hospital and in this she storad the disinfectants used for clee. ing. In this same cabinet is kept the lime water used in diult- ing the infants milk. It is en- tirely likely that one of the nurses tool. the poison bottle by mistake" !"
 1s.iss Ankers declared that she mad been questioned for three days by detectives and finally confessed under duress.
 CT insisted that I was not gull ty,' she says, until last .night when Det2 2ctive McKirby said it is going to cost you $1,000 tohave those bod ies exhumed' Twenty minutes lat CT he said, We will have to take your child away T cried out I did fs, did it; Don't take my baby. But I did not do it. I am not guilty J
 At the nursery today it was de nied that the young woman had I been Haunted by the nurses and that she might have sought revenge on that score She will be arraigned Monday and in the meantime will be examined by alienists to determine her mental condition.

 TALKS OF INITIATIVE
Tells of the Cost of Initiative and Re-

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 24.-When the adoption of the Initiative and Re- ferendum amendment ill 1910, George Judson King, a national lecturer of the Direct Legislation League, was much in evidence ill Arkansas. He made che tour of the state with the Bryan special, and for several months devoted his time and energy to the propaganda of the I. & k, becoming well known, in person or by reputa. tion, throughout the state.
 Leaving here he weIt to Arizona California, Oregon, and other states where similar fights were one. In z curremi issue of Equity, a journal ot scientific politics, MT. King is heard from again in two articles, "The Ari zona Story in Nutshell" and Con cerning the Cost of Petitions" H' classes the Arizona constitution witl the Declaration of Independence, ant says, "Befere you throw the conssi tuition of Orizona out of the window turn your portraits of the fathers tt tht wall.''
 On the subject of the cost of pc tisions, he says that an Oregon pc tition, requiring $500 worn sigma tures. when circulated by voluntar, committee organized for the purpos costs about $1,5oo. He says "th' srendSof opinion aanong the most abl advocates of the Initiative and Re xerendum in America is now towar.

It is clearer, more definite. and in view of the fact that the time rapidly approaches when American women will be given the right of suffrage, it will save a ne- cessary change in the adjustment of the matter when the voting popula- ton of a state is suddenly doubled, as was the case in California this year."

NO HURRY ON FRENCH LINES
Record for Poor, Service Surely Is Held by Railroad Managers ot
 That Country

Naturalization of railroads gets very black eye from the French rec ords this year. During the last sum- mer the fruit crop failed absolutely in Germany, and there was great de- mand on France for this kind of food. Brittany and Normandy shipped nf- teen thousand carloads-smaH "Wag- on trucks"-to Germany. The value of the fruit, when started, aggregated $4.250, 900. The average distance from the fruit growing districts to the frontier may be put down at about three hundred and sixty miles. and the average time taken was two weeks, though sometimes six weeks were required. The same wagons and trucks harpessed to German engines. were delivered at distances of from one hundred and fifty to two hun dred miles in twenty to thirty-six hours
 In ether words, on the French rail- way French fruit progressed at the rate of about twenty-four Miles a day, whilst. including the customs formali- ties, they Quickened up to about one | hundred and seventy miles in the twenty-four hours as soon as they changed hands. Dozens of wagons never reached their destination at all, owing to the tickets being defaced or the chalk scrawl on the panel Of the truck having been oblitcrated dur ing the long pilgrimage. Sometimes l 5, sometimes 10, and sometimes 50 per cent. of the fruit was so damaged as to be worthless. The result has been endless litigation, and loss of S625,O00. The Frankfurter Zeitung, from which these figures are taken, remarks that if in time of peace the traffic is, so wretchedly managed by the companies, what will happen in case of mobilization?
 A traveller on the celebrated West ern State railway relates how, on re turning from holiday in the north his friends gave him bag of beauti full apples. He registered them. and on his arrival at St. Lazare, tendereo his receipt to clerk, Without ask ing me any questions the official lee me to the bicycle depot and told ma to take my own. l thought he was joking, but 1t took three-quarters o an hour to persuade this excellen functionary, instead of giving mt somebody else's bicycle. to deliver m. bag of apples. which naturally wal found under heap of heavy cases ripped open and crushed"

U, s. TROOPS
 INVADE MEXICO President Taft Sends Troops to the Border With Orders
 to Prevent Firing. CITIZENS COMPLAIN Americans and Other Foreigners Are
 Hurrying to Ell Paso By The Hundreds.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Under jn- structions to prevent firing across the border, even if they are obliged to invade Mexican territory, the Twentysecond regiment of Infantry in batteries A. and B. of che Third Field Artillery, were hurried from San Antonio to reinforce the Ameri- can garrison at Ell Paso today.
 With achievements, the United States forces now at Fl Paso num- Der 2,500 troops, under command Of General Duncan. Aroused by the complaints of the citizens committees from Fl Paso that reign of terror exists all along the Rio Grande, and that The tives of American citizens are in immediate peril, President Taft, Acting Secretary of State Huntington Wilson and Secretary of War Stimson, held long confer ence this afternoon. Following this conference orders were issued for the movement or troops.
 A complete plan of campaign that will be rigidly followed, should it become necessary for the. American troops 70 cross the border, is now in possession of the Military Was College in this city.
 Information received at the State |Department today indicates that the revolutionary movement is now gen eral throughout Mexico. No news could be obtained, however, as te | the whereabouts or intention o1 General Orozce, who, it was stated yesterday was moving upon Juarez So terror stricken are American ant ! other foreign residents in Mexico that they are hurrying to Fl Paso b! the hundreds.
 Moving On Juarez.
 El Paso, Texas, Feb. 4.-The ad vance of the rebels on Juarez began l today and the surrender of the cit. is expected almost hourly. Tn Juarez authorities are unable | offer more than feeble resistanc and they will probably hand tn town over as soon as the demand i
 made. Most of the residents of tn city have fled to this city. A rebe
 train stopped fourteen miles fror
 Juarez on the northwestern line g
 neon and after the troops had de
 trained, it started back to bring al
 other detachment. American feders
 and municipal officers here decide today to raid the plant of the prin ing office from which the new ant
 American proclamation has been i:
 sued and from which came VI . Trevino-O Orozco manifesto.
