stamps the story as an absolute lie"
There is positive evidence at hand.
Kremer says. that Mrs. Szabo knew from
the receipt of letters from home, which
witnesses in this country have seen.
that her mother died in February. 1910.
The Pinkertons are working at Green
wood Lake among guests who were at
the Ferncliffe Hotel at the time Of the
drowning. and reports from there are
to the effect that important evidence is
at hand. The body of Mrs. Szabo will in
all probability be exhumed. inasmuch as
only "a perfunctory examination was
made at the time of her death, all the
superficial evidence having indicated that
she was drowned. Dispatches from
Greenwood Lake say that some difficulty
is being experienced in locating Mrs.
Szabo's grave, and Deputy Sheriff De
Graw declares that Gibson has declined
to lend any assistance in that matter.
There is also a report that wound was
seen on the leg Of the drowned woman
at the time her body was taken from
the water.

Uncle Sam Plans
Exhibition of
Freak Rat Traps

Uncle Sam is to hold a national rat
trap exposition for the scientists of the
world
This became known yesterday when
Surg. Blue. of the United States Public
Health and Marine Service, announced
that all the latest ideas in rat traps.
freak and otherwise, will be on exhibition
when the International Congress on Hy-
g!ene and Demography meets in the Cap

Traps in which rats sneeze themselves
to death, go insane and commit suicide,
are catapulted to death, poisoned, crush
ed BY steel springs and sent to destruc-
ton BY various means will be on ex-
hibition for the edifcation of scientists.
Recently Surg. Gen. Blue let IL be

be would be pleased to acquire for gov
eminent use model rat catcher-destroy-

country Immediately got busy and he has
been flooded with traps ever since. They
are still coming in.
Not only that, but some of the inventors
Travelled thousands of miles TO the Can

of the latest received is a device CON-

PROMOTER TELLS
OF BURST BUBBLE
Lloyd G. McCrumm, a Frank Wit
ness Before Examiner in
Bankruptcy.

New York, Sept. 6.-Lloyd G. McCrup1,
the man who blew the McCrum-Howell
bubble that resulted in the loss OF mil
lions of dollars 20 investors, was a frank
witness when examined in bankruptcy
to-day before Referee William H. Willis.
Considerable wrangling on the part of the
attorney and creditors of the bankrupt
followed the statement by Attorney
Joseph NJ. fairfield, who represented the
creditors committee. that further inves-
tigation has developed the liabilities are
greater than generally believed, and the
assets smaller.
In the examiDation of Mr.. McCrum,
who was president Of the McCrum How
ell Company at the time it went into
receivership. it developed that he and
George D. Howell. the vice president,
were the largest shareholders. and that
other directors of the company were not
large holders of the preferred stock.
The faint hopes entertained by share
holders of ever getting anything out OF
the wreck was reflected by the small
number present at the hearing. 1t was
brought out upon direct examinati ton that
most of the property taken over by the
company at various times belonged TO
President McCrum and Vice President
Howell. who received new preferred
stock in exchange. Whether they also
placed the value they were to receive in
exchange for the business turned over
was not brought out.
That the former head of the McCrum-
Howell Company was a poor specuiator
and investor was further proven by the
fact that he purchased some laundry
stock for $500, but following the receiy-
ership sold it for only $50.
1t was stated that assets of McCrum
and Howell valued at about $500, 900 had
been transferred under deed Ct trust TO
H. C. Telling, of the First National Bank,
but the belief was expressed by Mr..
fairfield that their value would not ex-
coed more than 500, 200.

Demand Troops to
Shield Americans

Mexico City. SEPT. 6.-American Ambas s.
sador Henry Lane Wilson to-day received
explicit instructions to make urgent re-
quest of the Mexican government that Il
send more troops into Northern Mexico
One hundred and fifty American mining
companies, operating within Il distance
OF $50 miles of the United States border
appealed TO the United States govern
nent for protection more than a week
ago. and to-days order to the Ambas-
sador is the result. Ysabel station. near
the Eltigre Mining Camp. an American
property was robbed yesterday of 81. 900
worth of merchandise. There is a fed
eral force near Ysabel. but the rebels
surrounding the camp are much more
numerous than the soldiers. The Ambas-
sador will see the government on the
matter Tomorrow.
Additional material was given the anti
government campaign to-day by a we'll
substituted report that Gen. Gertrudis
Sanchez. commanding the federal garri-
son OF 1000 men at Ojinaga. had gone
over to the rebels. Sanchez surrendered
Ojinaga to the Orozco forces without
firing a shot, though the rebel leader had
only 1000 men.
Americans Plan Invasion.
Well founded reports have been re-
ceived from government agents along
the Sonora-Arizona border that citizens
OF Douglas and Bisbee, Ariz., have Or
ganized a large armed party to cross
into Mexico to relieve the American de-
Tenders of the Nacozari copper mining
camp, who have been standing off a
rebel force for two days. Such an in
vas!on would involve grave international
complications.
Federal troops were ordered to-day to
concentrate in Sonora, just south OF
Douglas, Ariz., to give battle to the
Orozco forces. which are moving west
from Chihuahua.
President Madero has issued call for
an extra session of Congress to con-
vene just as soon as the necessary no.
tees can be served TO senators and
deputies in the various States. The extra
session will consider only ways and
means for putting down the rebellion,
the securing OF more funds for this pur-
pose, and the plans of Congress. A
$4,000 bond issue is to be asked by Err
neSto Madero. Minister of Finance, and
uncle of the President.
The present Congress is an inheritance
from Diaz, and the majority Of the
members are opposed to Madero's plans.
The new Maderista Congress. elected in
July, will not take Office until next year
On account Of this attitude of Congress,
1t is likely little will be accomplished
at the extra session.

that will be called upon to do some new
financing in the near future is the West

MEXICAN TROOPS
ARE TO Be SENT .
THROUGH TEXAS


little more than town guards. or police.
The United States government having
previously given the Mexican govern
ment permission to transport troops
through American territory in order to
reach otherwise inaccessible regions OF
Mexico. IL is expected that there will
be no difficulty on the part OF the United
States in making a similar arrangement
again with the Madero government. The
Mexican government. however. is OBJ
liged to obtain authority from Congress.
1t is stated. before its troops can be
sent out OF the country. 1t Is understood
that a special session has been called
by President Madero to obtain the sane
ton for the contemplated movement OF
troops.
The movement Of a considerable force
into Sonora is likely. however. to en-
barras the Mexican government on an
other score. Zapata has succeeded in
demoralizing the governmental authority
in large area of Southern Mexico. and
is active within less than twoscore miles
of Mexico City itself The fear is ex-
pressed that if troops are moved from
this region into the north, the Zapatistas
will advance even closer to the capital
To Send More Cavalry.
Upon the request OF the Americans at
Cananea. FL Tigre. and Nacozari. the
War Department is sending 81 Krag-
Jorgensen rifles to the border to be con-
Veyed to the Americans. The nearest
consul will have to assume the respon-
sibility for the arms getting into the
hands of none but those for whom they
arc intended before they will be sent
across the line. Previous experience has
shown that there is a great danger OF
arms intended for Americans in Mexico
falling into the possession of rebels.
The rifles and ammunition are being sent
from the Rock Island Arsenal. Rock
Island. Ill. and will probably reach
Arizona in about a week.
There is a likelihood that more cavalry
will be sent 10 Arizona in the next few
days. Gen. Schuyler reports from Ari-
IONA that more men are needed there,
ard. through Gen. Murray. commanding
a. San Francisco. asked that some in
fsntry be SEM from FL Paso. The War
Department decided that no infantry
could be spared from FL Paso. but in
