DoozE CAPTURES IMPERIAL

ID Booze took Imperial yesterday,
this being the first time in the his
tory Of Imperial valley that a com
munity has put itself on record final
Iy i'm favor of the debauchery OF The
saloon. And yet the result OF the elec-
tion was not a surprise. The move
ment toward surrender to booze be
gan there several years ago. when
the elevation Of men who had made
their money ont of blind pigs or We're
allied with those men began 10 gain
the ascendency in public affairs. This
condition worked in a double Way to
promote the liquor interests. Making
the town less desirable for residence,
the supremacy of these men retarded
the growth OF the place. finally bring
ing about an exodus of many families
who preferred different environment.
The check on the prosperity thus
brought about injured business, and a
number of business men, in despera-
tion, fell in line with the booze cam
paign. in the hope that to turn the
town wide open would draw the trade
OF those who like that sort of thing.
This tendency was supplemented by
assistance rendered by the Los Ang-
eles breweries, which have been deter
mined to break into Imperial valley,
using the town of Imperial as the gate
way, thence spreading their influence
over the entire valley.
That the establishment of saloons
and the institutions that alwagS a
company them will bring about a
great change in Imperial is GER
tain. The population of the
town was first laid on an
anti-saIoon basis, and while many
families have left because of the re-
cession of the place from that stand
ard, many other families declare they
will do the same. Several business
houses have left the town. and at tEis
writing one OF the leading merchants
is preparing TO move his stock Of
goods to FL Centre. About loo farm
ers recently signed a statement that
in case the town surrendered to booze
they would transfer their trade to
other places.
Thus, from this time on, recognized
as the one place in Imperial valley
which has abandoned itself TO the
dominance Of booze, Imperial unques-
tionably will draw the class of peO-
pie who like that sort of thing and
repel the class who prefer sobriety.
Whether a new MeXicali, planted
IN the middle of Imperial valley, Gan
thrive remains to be seen. May be
il is just as well to have the expert
ment made, in so much as there are
those who insist on it, and the draw
ing of the line between those who
prefer the rule of debauchery and
those who prefer sobriety and decency
may not be wholly evil. No one will
compel the better grade of citizens
to go 10 or remain in the town where
debauchery is given free rein.

SLAIN BY REBELS
Shot, SIashed to Pieces or
Burned Alive After Cars
Are Wrecked.

MEXICO CITY, Aug. 13.-Twenty
passengers and every man of a mill
'tary guard of thirty-six soldiers con
voying a train have been shot to
death, cut In pieces with machetes or
burned alive in an attack by a band
of Zapatistas under Eufemio Zapata,
near Ticuman, 10 miles from this
city.
A rail was loosened in the track
and the train, running about forty
kilometres an hour, went into the
ditch. Although not a rebel was in
sight when the engine left the rails, a
moment later they swarmed by hun
dreds out of the Undiscovered hills
and poured a mdrderous rifle fire into
the overturned coaches. Lieutenant
Reynaldo Espinosa, commanding the
guard, e~xtricated his men from the
wreck, lined .them up behind the
coaches and returned the fire of the
rebels until every n of his men had
been killed and himself wounded, TO
die later under the machete of a
rebel.

SEES CHUM DROWN
AS HE SAVES SELF
Forced to Stun Friend with
Blow in Death Struggle !
in River. !

NEW YORK, Aug. Is. The three
sons of Patrick Murray, head of the
department OF corrections stables on
Blackwell's Island, escued John j.
Ryan, a machinist, of 607 West Forty
sixth street, from the East River. off
the island yesterday. Ryan, who said
he had been floating down the river
borne up by a soap box for nearly
three hours, told of saving himself
from drowning by stunning his best
friend, John Long, of Tarrytown,
striking him in the face and letting
him drown before his eyes.
Another Tarrytown man, John Ber-
gen., who, like Long, was a station
cabman, and was his partner in the
ownership of the m~otorboat, Mary
Jane, is believed to have be%o.
drowned. "
RYAN is in a ward of the City
Hospital. The physicians fear for his
sanity under the strain of his remorse
for saving himself at the expense of
his friend and his long struggle in
the water in h dark.
According to Ryan's story, Long
and Bergen met him in Tarrytown
last night ana tOlu MIN tney Wele
going to have a 'cooling-of' party.
They showed him the Mary Jane.
stocked with sandwiches and many
crates of beer and he agreed to go
along.
They were in the northbound chan
me- and off their course when a Lack
awanna Railroad float, with many
freight cars aboard, approached. Tne
motorboat was unable to get out OF
the way. The Mary Jane was struck
and overturned
When Ryan came up he struck
a big box He saw Bergen striking
out for shore. Then Long arose and,
panic-stricken. grabbed Ryan by the
throat. Ryan said he reasoned with
Long and tride to calm him and then,
in fear they would both go down,
drew back n struck Long full in
the lace with his fist.
Jacks eyes closed" Ryan said. I
saw them close while he was looking
at me and then he sank, and II ne
came up again / did not see him.

HIS STATEMENT
Rosenthal Suspect Held in
Arkansas States His
Case.

HOT SPRINGS, Ark, Aug. 1S.-Sam
schepps. held in custody by the po-
lice of Hot Springs as a material
witness in the Rosenthal murder case
today authorized the following state
ment for the Associated Press:
4 want to say that every sensa-
tional story that has been sent out
from Hot Springs, no matter by
whom, which quotes me either di-
rectly or indirectly as having made
any confession of any connection as
regards police graft, white slave traf-
fc and so on, | brand as maliciously
manufactured from garbled reports
gotten by / know not whom.
7 ant the newspapers to know for
a certain fact hat this interview
which l am willin gto sign and
to is the first and only statement
made by me to the representative
of any newspaper press association
whatever. As regards the killing of
Herman Rosenthal l have made no
confession. l have nothing to confess
Mr.. Whitman knows this. The
paper men who have asked me for
some statement know 1t. but l think
some of them have wanted to make
a little money out of misstatements.
When l was taken into custody
Postmaster johnson took from me a
letter | received from Jack Rose and
a reply l had written to him. He
promised to seal them in ar envelope
and hold them subject to District At
;o~ney Whitman's orders. l, fearing
some sentence in those letters might
ne misconstrued by those not know
ing everything connected with the
Rosenthal case. requested that they
be returned to me or given In the
care of Police Captain George Pow
ell or Police Chief Leonard. This
was not done. 1 was powerless, not
knowing whether any charges had
been made against me. l understand
these letters have been used. l want
to say that their use was in my opin-
ion. illegal n libelous. My attor-
ney will examine this feature when l
return to New York.
Il fear no person or agent in New
York city, but since 1t seems to be
legal that Mr., Whitman has a right
to demand hat I be given into his
custody as a witness, Ihave demand
ed my right as a detained witness
against whom no charge of crime has
or can be made. to be given into the
custody of none except Mr.. Whit
mans authorized representatives.
I want to repeat that this is the
only authorized statement l have
made for the representative of any
newspaper or press association.
