DIPLOMACY IN A CORNER.

Possibility OF renewed American Intervention

action cease TO follow the outworn pattern set
by men who were tyrants In their own right?
Everybody knew last March why the troops
were being sent to Mexico. The humblest cit
izen was aware that the revolution which had
been laughed at for its own weakness was sue
ceeding because OF the even greater weakness
OF the Mexican government. Everybody knew
that United States troors on the border meant
nothing more nor less than that this country
be safeguarded Everybody knew that this de-
termination took the form of making certain
the success of revolt which milder methods
had previously proved powerless TO crush.
Why. then the palayer. the fatuous talk about

we were RECALLED. And why now. in the face
OF the facts, renewal Of this puerile policy
of strong government?

SHORE LINE CAR BLAZE
PUT PATRONS IN PANIC.

While speeding along at lively
rate between Pleasantville and Allan
tic City on Monday broken electric
wire caused fire to break out on a
Shore Fast Line car, and as the flames
shot up to the windows on the outside
of the car, the women passengers
were thrown into a panic. His atten-
tion attracted by the shrieks of the
cars occupants, the motorman glanc-
ed back and when he saw the flames
applied the brakes with such force
that some of the passengers were
thrown from their seats. This added
to the confusion and terror of the
women, who were in a hysterical state
when the trolley was finally brought
to stop.
In the rush to leave the car the
women escaped injury only through
the cool work of the motorman, con-
ductor and male passengers, and af-
ter they had restored some semblance
of order they set about extinguishing
the flames. This was accomplished
only after a hard fight, as the fire
had good start, and the car, badly
damaged, arrived in Atlantic City half
an hour late.

THE INDISCRETION OF TRUTH
REVEALS SCOTTISH Diff :.
CULTIES OF MATRIMONY.

The attraction at the Apollo Thea
tire for three nights and matinee,
opening on November 7th, will be
"The Indiscretion of TRUTH" the lat
est comedy from the prolific pen of j..
Hartley Manners, author of "The
House Next Door," "Zira," and other
pleasing plays. His latest play en-
joyed Boston run last spring and
the local engagement is by way OF
warming UP" for New York open
ing. The original company, headed
by the eminent English actor, Frank
Kemble Cooper, and the complet met
ropolitan production will be seel.,. and
the opportunity is one which no local
playgoer should miss.
ssTruth" in the play is charming
young girl whose "indiscretion" con-
sists in planning to elope with Bruce
Darrell, a gentleman athlete" all
Drawn, small brain and no morals.
He fails to meet Truth at the little
Scotch inn, which was appointed as a
rendezvous, but sends friend to tell
her that his father is i'll. AS a matter
of fact, the old man threatens to cut
the athlete out of his will unless he
weds the heiress. !.
Truth, having posed as married
woman to gain admittance to the inn,
Darrell's friend, Captain Greville, calls
for her as his wife, which, under the
Scotch law constitutes presumptive
marriage. Afterward Darrell appeals
to this old Scotch law that Truth is
Captain Greville's wife so that he can
marry his fathers choice; but it ap-
pears their correspondence in arrang-
ing for the elopement constsitutes a
previous marital contract between
Truth and the designing Darrell.
This is the matrimonial tangle upon
which the curtain rises, and how Sir
George Stirling not only relieves his
charming ward of two presumptive
husbands and manages to win her for
himself constitutes the action of a
most amusing and thrilling comedy.
Miss Anne Meredith continues in
the title role, while the cast contains
the well known names of Mrs. Thomas
Whiffep, Muriel Starr, Henry Morti-
mer, Dan Collyer, Richard Purdon and
Charles Sinclair. Miss Violet Kembel
Cooper, daughter of the protogonist
and the youngest scion of the famous
English family of thespians, makes
her first American appearance in the
ingenue role of Kate.

STEAL $1,000 IN GOLD.
Amount Taken in Bags From Bank
in Newark.

NEWARK. n. j., September 2S.-After
carefully cOncealing the fact for nine
days, even from the local police, re-
luctant admission was made yesterday
by President David II. Merritt of the
National Newark Banking Company that
the bank had been robbed about noon
September 1S of three bags of gold coins.
11,OO0 in all. Mr.. Merritt admitted that
no cfle to the thieves or the money had
been obtained. Burns detectives are at
work on the case.
The canvas bags containing the $11 900
in S., $40 and $50 coins had been placed
on a ledge in the paying teller's depart
ment, about four feet from a window
in the glass and wood partition This
window is not in daily USE On the day
of the robbery, the bank officers say, it
was closed.
All the windows are protected with the
usual heavy metal sratings, with a space
about four inches high at the bottom for
the passing of money and books. To
draw the. bags of gold within reach of his
hand a person standing outside the win
dow would have had to use a hooked rod
at least four feet long. The bank officials
think that was the method used.
The belief that the theft took place at
noon is based on the fact that at that
hour most of the clerks and the day
Waterman were absent at luncheon.

AID IN COMPUTING RATES.
Postmasters to Receive Maps for
Parcels Post Service.

Preparation of special maps, with zone
circles marked off in red, for use of post
masters in determining rates on parcels
post packages is being rushed by the
Post Office Department. The maps, 125-
900 of which are to be printed. are to be
taken from a so-called 'fiawless'' map
Of the United States coast and geodetic
survey.
The necessity of obtaining a perfect
map is to prevent the slightest error in
computing postage, as such would make
a considerable difference in the rate from
any given point. The aim is to get the
maps in the hands of the postmasters as
much in advance of January l next,
when the law becomes effective, as pos
sible to give them time for study.

WOULD NOT KILL TAFT.
Pittsburgh Story Says Assassin
Chose to Kill Himself Instead.

PITTSBURGH, September 2S.-The po-
lice yesterday called on some of the men
active in the colony of Reds on the
North Side, in an endeavor to ascertain
the cause of the suicide of Carlos Cez-
mar Wednesday night.
1t was reported about police head
quarters that CeZnar was commissioned
to go to Altoona Wednesday to kill Pres
ident Taft The police learned that the
Reds had meeting last Sunday at
the cobbler shop of "NihiliSt Frank 1t
Is said lots We're drawn, and it fell to
Ceznar to strike the great blow for 1.-The
cause"
During Monday and Tuesday Ceznar
worked at the NatrOna mills, but was
morose and would not speak to his COM
panions. Wednesday he bought ticket
for Altoona at the Union depot. He left
the train ut East Liberty station and
walked east to Spruce street. where he
threw himself in front of train. Among
the detectives the theory is held that
CeZnar lost his nerve after starting for
Altoona. and. fearing to return and face
the "Reds,' killed himself.
