TRAIN IN MEXICO
AMbUSHED BY
ZAP AT|STAS
But Few of the Passengers and
Guard Escape
WOUNDED ARE BUTCHERED
Cars Set On Fire and Many OF the
Occupants Are Cremated
Alive.

Mexico City. Aug. 13.-Thirty
six soldiers and more than 20 pas
sengers were slaughtered by Zapatis
tas in a canyon near Ticuman, 11C
miles southeast of this city Sunday
when a passenger train southbound
from Mexico City was attacked from
ambush. Only meager details had
reached the capital last night. Sc
far as known, only part of the
train crew escaped. The first news
of the assault was sent to Mexico
City bysConductor Martin and Collect
or Dominguez who although wound
ed, manged to make their way to
Yautepec, IL miles away. They were
forced to steal through the Zatapa
lines and did not arrive ~ the tele-
graph station until yesterday after
noon.
After a murder0us rife fire had
ceased, the rebels swarmed down the
hill side and set Ere to the three cars
composing the train. A few OF the
wounded had crawled out on TO the
right of way, thus escaping the fate
of those unable to leave the cars
which were burned According to Ie-
ports, the leader of the rebels made
absolutely no effort to restrain his
men from acts of brutality greater
yet than has marked the campaign
inthe south. The wounded, pleading
for their lives, were struck down
without pity, and even footing was
held in allegiance unit! the slaughter
was complete
Not satisfied with robbing their
victims in an ordinary manner, the
fingers of the men and women were
chopped off with machetes, that
rings they wore might he more quick
ly obtained. Ornaments were torn
from ears of women and their bodies
were otherwise mutilated. Among
the passengers were two newspaper
men, and they were among those
killed. They were on their way to
interview Emiliano Zapata, the chief
of the rebels. One of these, II. l..
Strauss, a native of Uruguay, and
consular agent of his country in Mex.
leo, was employed at one time on the
New York Herald He was making
this trip to see Zapata as a represen.
tative of FL impartial. The other
correspondent was Ignacio Herraras
of El Pals.

A coINER OF WORDS.
Mirabssu's Busy Brain Enlarged the
Worlds Vocabulary.

The authorities seem to assign the
origin OF the word aristocrat to the
French Revolution. which coined its
opposite, democrat oddly enough. the
word seems to have been first applied
to our harmless military order. the
Cincinnati.
When the Cincinnati was organized
In 1873 a storm OF objection was rails
ed. One Of the pamphlets that de-
nounced the military order, of which
Washington was the head, fell into the
hands OF Mirabeaa who Immediately
made It the subject of a slashlng tract
in which he called the society unre-
publican. un-American and much else
that was not complimentary.
To cap the climax. be wrote, les
Cincinnati sont done des mobiles. des
aristocrates. de vrais patriciensw The

Frenchman OF the time. liked the new
word so well that he repeated 1t sew.

His pamphlet was written in 1885,
and since no Paris publisher was will

strongly republican It was printed in
London in 17SS The word was accept
ed in many languages and led TO the
formation of many similar words. like
democrat, autocrat, theocrat, plutocrat,
bureaucrat and others. In 1855, when
Mirabeau wrote. there was no prece-
dent for such words unless It were the

SCHEPPS WILL Be
HELD FOR WHAT
He CAN TELL
Paymaster of the Murder Crew
Wanted as Witness
ARRESTED AT HOT SPRINGS
Authorities Are Keeping Close Watch
OF Lieutenant Beckers Safe
Deposit Box.

New York, Aug 13.-Sam Schepps,
"paymaster of the murder crew,
that killed Herman Rosenthal, is to
beheld on his arrival here from Hot
Springs, Ark, where he was arrested
Saturday as a material witness and
not as one of the accomplices, it was
stated by District Attorney Whitman
last night. This form of immunity
is conditional, however, upon Schepps
willingness to corroborate the stories
of Jack Rose and Bridge" Weber,
charging that Police Lieut.. Charles
Becker was the instigator of the
murder. Mr.. Whitman does not be-
lieve that Schepps took any part in
carrying out the murder plot but he
does think that he had knowledge of
what was going on, and would be
able to add links TO the chain of ey-
idence against Becker that would
help materially toward the investi-
cation.
Neither Ross nor Weber AVE i'm
plicated Schepps in their confession
farther than to say that he acted as
paymaster of the murderers, and act
ed as general handy man." after the
murder while Rose was in hiding.
Schepps knew Becker, they said and
heard him give some of the alleged
orders ito get" Rosenthal, but was
not intrusted with executing them.
What Schepps heard is what the dis
trict attorney would like to hear al
so. The fugitive is expected in New
York on Thursday in the custody OF
Assistant District Attorney r. G.
Rubin and Detectives Stewart and
Thomas, whom the district attorney
sent TO Hot Springs yesterday to
bring him back. Mr.. Whitman tel
egraphed to Mayor Petit of Hot
Springs yesterday that these repres-
entatives were coming, and requested
that Schepps. who fears the New
York police. be turned over to no
other authority.
Bernard Sandley, Schepp's attor-
ney, announced that Schepps should
tell his story TO no one but Mr..
Whitman, telegraphed Schepps Sun
day mot to talk" and yesterday re
ceived from him a telegraphic reply
promising Ito obey instructions"
Meanwhile the district attorney,
who returned from his weekend at
Manchester, VT, yesterday had I'M
earthed more interesting facts about
Police Lieut.. Becker, whose attitude
continues TO be one of silent def
ance. The latest revelation is the
fact. that Becker has since last De
cember rented a safe deposit vault
for the deposit of securities. The
prosecutor has at present no legal
right to order the vault opened, but
he regarded the fact of its existence
with the allegations that Becker has
grown rich out of gambling graft
that for several days he has had de
tectives on guard to see. that the
contents of the vault are not with
drawn. Anyone attempting to open
the box will be hailed before the pros
ecutor as a witness and asked to ex-
plain the reason for wishing to do so
Deckers wife has, within the last
ten days, the district attorney has
learned. withdrawn $4,000 out of the
$4,000 to her husbands credit in va
rious New York banks.

BUSY WEEK FOR BALL TEAM.
Indian Players At Morgan Park On
Thursday Afternoon,

quay TtbClNOOfs
This is TO be a busy week for the
Bennington baseball team. This af-
ternoon the team plays in Pittsfield,
tomorrow it goes to Cambridge, N
Y. on Thursday it plays Green's Ne
braska Indian team at Morgan park,
Friday morning at 1880 there will be
a game here with North Adams and
on Saturday afternoon Pittsield will
be seen at Morgan park.
The season tickets sold some time
ago will not be good for the game
with the Indians Thursday afternoon.
A percentage arrangement was the
only one that could be made with the
team and for this reason 1t would be
an expensive move for the local
Management to put the game in the
regular schedule of games. The
booking with the Indians is on a ba-
sis of so per cent of the gate receipts
and on this basis 1t is impossible to
put the game in with the season
ticket schedule. IN order that the
purchasers of season tickets may re-
ceive their full number of games the
management has arranged for anoth-
er league game TO be played in Ben
nington. This game will De with
the North Adams team and will be
played at Morgan park TUESDAY af

The Gollmar Brothers Circus
Parade

Those who are disposed to be
skeptical regarding the size and
merit of the Gollmar Brothers Cir
Gus will have all doubts dispelled
by seeing the tremendous spectacu-
lar street display given by that
concern on the principal streets of
this city, Tuesday, July 80.
The pageant of the Gollmar
Brothers Is a complete surprise.
1t is lengthy professional array,
such as can only be produced by
the fortunate combination of unlim-
tied wealth, undaunted courage,
original ideas, and determination to
eclipse all similar displays. That
the Gollmars have succeeded in
achieving their purpose is generally
conceded. Their parade Is like
their circus. The highest class in
the world"
Instead of the wooden dens, the
Gollmar Brothers adopted the mon
ster steel cages and dens, each one
being as large and as strong as the
average railroad car.
The Gollmars were among the first
showmen to make a feature of fine
horses. They were first to make a
feature of the ever attractive Shet-
land ponies, and this season have in
parade and horse fair" more of
these children's pets than are to be
found with all other circuses.
Managed under lofty ideals, it is
not strange that the brilliancy,
attractiveness and instructiveness
of the matchless Gollmar Brothers
Parade is a revelation to all who
have never seen it, while the con-
slant progressiveness of this amuse-
ment institution also astounds those
who have witnessed it annually.
