FRANK MILLER WIS.,
TIED old MEXICO
Spends Day in That Country and
Talks Interestingly Of What
he Saw There.

Frank Miller, who has just re-
turned home from nine weeks
touring Of the west, took in almost
every city and place of interest In
his travels and has much of interest
concerning the west ID tell. While
absent, Mr.. Miller visited old Mex
leo, where at the present time an
uprising is at it's height. He visit
ed a station on the Mexican side of
the line called Tiwana and spent an
entire day at that place. AS 1t is
expected that the United States army
will have to intercede at almost any
moment to insure protection to
Americans on the Mexican side, the
observations of the local young man
are interesting.
Tiwana is a small village about
twenty miles on the other side of
the Mexican line and is one Of the
few inland ports in that country
which American tourists visit to
look over the situation. Near the
village a Mexican fort is Located
which is the object of much curios-
ity, as it is a great deal different
from the up-to-date kind seen in this
country. Travellers are not allowed
to take pictures of the Mexican fort
ress or soldiers, nor are they allow
ed to advance closer than one hun
dred feet to the building without
special permission. For this reason
Frank had no opportunity to see the
interior of the place, but as men,
Der of his party attempted to take
snap shot of the fort he was able
to take mental notes of the disci-
pine of the Mexican army. The
tourist had his camera in place
when it was noticed by guard who
Immediately seized the machine and
crushed it under his foot on the
ground. This brought forth several
members of the Mexican army and
Mr.. Miller says they appear very
crude in every respect when compar-
ed with the soldiers of Uncle Sam.
The men in stature are of course
mach shorter than ours and most of
them appear to be hunchbacks from
the weight of the haver sacks car
ried on their travels. While under
orders they resemble the American
boy more than the soldier.
Even in that part of the country
where less fighting has been going
on than in other parts of Old Mex
leo, the residents harbor deep ha-
tired for Americans, which is dis
played by the educated inspectorsl
at the custom houses on the line.
An American must be on his best be-
havior while sight seeing there, as
on the slightest provocation thel

HARVESTER CASHIER
ACCUSED OF Theft
Ambition Was to Become Moving
Picture Magnate.

San Francisco, CAL, Nov. 5.-An
ambition to become the moving pict-
ure magnate of the Pacific coast is
alleged to have led Wallace j. Po-
land, until three weeks ago cashier
of the San Francisco Office Of. the In
ternational Harvester company, to
embezzle $4,000 of his employers
money. Judge X. M. Greene, attor-
ney for the Harvester company,
caused Poland's arrest yesterday on
the specific charge of having en-
bezzled s1,500 on Oct g. Judge
Greene said Poland admitted this
peculation and that admissions of
other thefts brought the total up TO
$S4 900.
The speculations are alleged to
have begun early in 1911 and con-
tinued until early in October. when
Aubrey E. Ambrose, travelling audi
tor for the company, arrived in San
Francisco and began an investiga-
ton of Poland's accounts. Poland
is held at the city prison in default
OF $4,000 bail.
