"THE GOOD OLD DAYS"
 WERE LARGELY A DELUSION

burglars were branded, ears were cut Ofr as a punishment for dishonest cooks" and careless fish dressers" in Virginia. The plllOry was in gen eral use. There were twenty crimes for which a man was hanged Penn sylvania; in Virginia twenty-seven, The law fell with special severity on the unrepresented and voiCeless A pauper and his wife and children had to wear the letter "P" on their cloth ing.
 The comforts of life were few. New York had no paved streets until 175O, and Philadelphia long after that was known as filthy dirty" even for that time. Goats and pigs wandered in her streets as late as 1S4O. Except for the rich the houses were small, families were large and in almost all houses trades and manufactures were carried on. So the conditions of life may be imagined. There were only two small hospitals in the whole country until after the revolution. Sur geons were few, and .n case of acci' dent a neighbcr cut off a crushed limb with a carpenters knife and stanched the blood by soaring with redhot irons. There was perjudice every where against fresh air, and all hous' es were tightly closed. Heavy drink ing was universal-as much so among the clergy as the laity.
 A Hartford clergyman supplemented his slender salary by running distil lery. So the conclusion is that nei ther in the heroic virtues nor in other ways were the "gold old times" any, thing to which We should like to re. turn. They held the seeds of mod ern progress, but the world today is much better place to live in than 1t was a century ago, and this is es' pecially true as to the man of little income or influence.

[ ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH l

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-In a march on Leon, the last stronghold of the Nj caraguan insurgents, American forces under Lieutenant Colonel Long, oust- ed the rebel mob at Chichigalpa, killing thirten outright and wOunding many more. Five Americans were slightly wounded In reporting the engage ment to the navy department, Rear Admiral Southerland said, Long was trying to secure to arms and dynamite bombs when he was sourounded by the rebels. Disregarding the orders of their officers several rebels fired upon the Americans. The fire was promptly returned.
 The equalization of Leon, the be- leagured town from which reports of distress have been coming since the rebel occupancy, completes the aggres- sive program of the Americans which has been put through swiftly since the surrender of General Mena at Granada. Confirmation of the surrender of Leon had not been received up to late hour tonight

Auto Burns On Road tO
 Roosevelt

When he cranked his car after re- pairs on the Roosevelt road near De sert Wells yesterday, a young man whose name is understood to be Barker, exploded some waste gaso- line in the apron, and in the lapse of a few minutes the machine was scrap iron and cinders Mrs. Barker and her daughter were picked up by one of the first cars of the returning geogra phers and brought to Phoenix Her son is at the Goldfield mine awaiting the arrival of an insurance adjustor. who was telegraphed for to Los Angeles.
 The Barkers had toured all the southern part of the state. They wanted just one more little trip and then they would all have gone back to California. Their hearts set on reaching the Roosevelt dam, they left Phoenix early yesterday. About twenty five miles from Mesa, the car developed a cough. The driver un- corked the hood and looked into the carburator When he was through with his repairs he gave the ma chine a twist of the crank and the
 
 the defective carburator caught fire and burned the wood leather and rubber work of the whole car, so that when the geographers' began to ar rive the unlucky machine was on it's rims, without shape, a mass of black ened metal. In trying to smother the flames in a laprobe,' Barker cooked his hands but the injury was slight enough to allow him to stay with it until the insurance man arrives.
 The burned car was under Cali fornia license, number 61167 It has been driven all over the south of the state and met no serious trouble. Be fore the start the owners congratu- lated themselves over the great good luck they had enjoyed so far. Before noon their motor was ruined and they were apparently stranded in the desert The anxiety of the ladies was soon relieved, however, for or the coming of the first set of cars from Roosevelt they were cared fol and brought to Phoenix. The loss of the automobile is covered entirely by the insurance.

WORLDSER|ES| IN
 STEEL THEATRES
Big Games Will Be Staged Both at New York and Boston in Enclosures of Fireproof and Stable Ma terial
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPATcH1

NEW YORK, Oct 6.-The world series games will be staged both at New York and Boston, in theaters of the new steel and concrete type
 which nearly half of the major league cities now boast of and which others are fast copying for the safety and convenience of spectators The building of these permanent homes for baseball is repeatedly pointed to as an index to the stability of the national game.
 The New York National club claims to have eclipsed all other major league cities in this respect with it's mammoth stadium at the Polo grounds, at the hollowed base of Coogan's rocky bluff, at the north of the city. This will be the scene this year of world series contests for second consecutive time In Boston, the American league peunant winners boast of as fine a structure, but of 1 smaller proportions, erected early this year at Fenway Park, in the Back
 Bay section of the city
 The historic Polo Grounds, home of the Giants, is expected to provide this year for a greater crowd of spectators than ever witnessed a ball game before. The world record was established there at the opening
 game last fall, when in an incom- pleted state the ampitheater was
 crowded with 38,281 persons by actual count at the gates.
 The great stadium has since been
 completed, and will now seat com fortably a crowd as large as last year. at which time several thousand persons stood. The main structure is in the shape of a horse shoi. of seel and concrete, curving around
 more than half the field and having double decks, seating in individual chairs over 23,000 persons. In addi- tion to this bleacher seats accommO-
 date 15,000.
 The structure which the Boston 1 Americans have in Fenway Park | is also of the fireproof and modern convenience type, but a single -decked
 affair, seating about 11,000 in the main stand. It was built with the
 idea that an upper tier might be added later if needed, but this was
 not attempted for the world series temporary addition to accommo- date about 5000 persons has been
 made to the grand stand, and tenn
 porary seats provided also between
 center and right field bleachers to
 accommodate about 300 also. With
 the regular bleachers, the total ca
 pacity will be raised to probably over S0,OO0.

MEXICO C|TY'S
 POPULATION
Capital Filling With Re fugees From the Condi- tions Created by the Con flict in All Parts of the Republic
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

MEXICO CITY, Oct. 6.-MeXico's S capital is slowly becoming a city of refugees. Foreigners, especially Amer jeans. have been leaving for months and hundreds of Mexicans of the we'll tO-dO class have deserted the city on account of the deplorable conditions created by civil war. The number of those deserting. however, is not so large as that of those who have fled here from the plantations, mines and smaller cities and towns of the inter- for.
 Possibly the population of the capi- tai is slightly greater now than it has ever been, but dealers in these articles classified as luxuries complain bitterly of the state af affairs
 Prices Of staple supplies have con tinued to increase on account of the decreased production throughout the republic and reports from the agri- cultural districts give little hope of relief There has been little crop planting in numerous districts. Men who formerly worked in the fields and factories now find that campaigning with the rebel chiefs is quite as profit
 
 standing the drastic measures author ized by the government for their ex- termination.
 Residents of the capital appear not to be greatly perturbed by the knowl- edge that a score of states are em- barrassed by rebels. Society is look ing forward with great interest to the opening Of the opera season next month and the devoteeS of the bullfight are displaying a keen interest in the inauguration of the winters season of fights The management of the big steel bullring has gone ahead with its plans for bringing to Mexico the best matadores obtainable this year-Ma- chaquito, Puntaret and Gallito-confi- dent. apparently, that the residents of this capital whether governed by Ma dero, Orozco or Zapata, will. vet pro vide it's quota of some 10000 every Sunday to witness the skillful work of "the great Spanish "torreros."
 The president himself appears not tc let the disturbed conditions in his country interfere greatly with his so- cial movements and a not infrequent note in the morning papers is one tell ing of a picnic attended by the presi- dent and Mrs. Madero or a banquet that was distinguished by the presence of the president.
