STILL SEARCHING
WOMEN AT BRIDGES

Searching continues at the interna-
tiOnal bridges in spite OF the fact that
the federals are in control in Juarez
and there is no necessity for ammuni-
ton smuggling. The women, who are
employed by the Mexican consul. con-
tinue their search of all women who
go to Juarez and the rush of sight
seers Wednesday afternoon delayed
the traffic on the bridges. for each car
is held until all of the women passen-
gers are searched in the little yellow
tent and the men have been 'frisked''
by the soldiers.
Just why this searching is con-
tinues no one seems 10 know. There
are no rebels within miles of Juarez
and as the federals have all the am
munition they need there is no longer
an incentive for the border runners to
attempt to take ammunition across the
river at the bridges

or any other place. never killed a

who is being held by the sheriffs de-
partment on information that Geek is
wanted by the Los Angeles chief of po-
lice to answer to the charge OF murder.
c. Z. Sebastian, chief OF police of
Los Angeles, says in a telegram to sher-
if Edwards that he has warrant for
Geek for the murder Of J. H. Felter on
October l, 1910. Geek, who says he is
II years old, was arrested Wednesday
night by deputy sheriff Stanley Good,
IT., and ranger Baker IN front of the
Monarch pool hall.
MY record Is clear and I have no
fear of not getting out of this" the
Young man said. When asked if he had
killed a man named Felter in Los An
geleS while working as a clerk in an
office in which Felter was bookkeeper
the motive being robbery, young Geek
replied that he had never worked a day
IN Los Angeles. He admits he was there
IN October. 1910. and saws he came di-
Tectly back to Ell Paso, later going to
Mexico. where he is at present employed
as electrician for the Mexican Light and
Power company at Pachuca, Hidalgo.
Father Well Known
Sam Geek, father Of the prisoner, who
Tor 10 years was county commissioner
IN Dona Ana county, living at Las
Cruces, where he still retains his farm
ing interests, although living in Il Paso
at the present time, saws his son is guilt

UNFAIRLY.
He volunteered the statement that his
son left FL Paso about October, 1910,
going to Los Angeles in company with
young woman, with something between
$500 and $500 OF the elder Gecks mon
ey. The father said this was the bows
first escapade to his knowledge. and that
he had been informed by his son that he
had not married the girl while on the
coast He thought it possible the story
OF the murder might have developed with
the girl as the informant in order to
get even with young Geek, although this
IS purely conjecture on the part of the
father.
Boy Often In El Paso.
Sam Geek says his son has been back
to FL Paso three times; that he has
been visiting with the family at their
home on Overland street since August
9; this being the first time he had heard
OF the Los Angeles murder story.
S. J. Gillette conferred with Geek and
his father Thursday and stated that
young Geek would not be taken before
the justice court until the arrival of
Maj. ". H. H. Llewellyn of Las Cruces,
an old friend of the family, who is ex-
peeted here Friday

no danger of his going back to Califor-

sive, but he is absolutely guiltless," said
Gillette
Geek Admits Trip With Girl
Further than admitting that he made
the trip to Los Angeles with a girl, who,
he said, was a good girl. young Geek
would not comment on his conduct He
SAID that he was not married because

Their Homes salazar Is Reported
Near Colonia Dublan

Talk about land indemnity for the
! damage done by the rebels to Amer
! lean property in Mexico continues to be
/ general among the Mormon officials
and refugees who are in Ell Paso. Ac-
cOrding to one of the leading Mormon
men who are in Ell PaSo, the reimburse
ment of the Americans who have suf
fered losses in Mexico, including the
members of the Mormon colonies, will
take the form of large land grants in
the state of Sinaloa, Sonora and Chi
hUahua- These men say that money in
demnity will not be paid by the Mexican
government, and that the granting OF
large tracts of land in payment Of
damages sustained by American citi-
zens will be the method finally used
for the settlement of these claims.
No Mormon claims have yet been
filed. but all are being prepared by
the Mormon officials and filed in the
Mormon headquarters in FL Paso Lists
are being filed with American consul
7. D. Edwards, in Juarez and a request
has been made for an appraisement by
American and Mexican government rep
resentatiTes before the colonies are
Apostle 4. W Wins, of the Mormon
church. who is in charge of the Nor

indemnity has ever been discussed Of
ficially by the officials of the church
and that the church is now interested

the matter of indemnity for losses sus-
tanned.

Objected To Aid From ArehboId.
In reference to the charge made by
senator Penrose that a heavy campaign
contribution had been received from
Mr.. Archbold in behalf of the Standard
OIL company, Col. Roosevelt read from
copies of letters which he said he had
sent Mr. CortelyoV in the latter part
OF October, 1904, in which he said he
had been informed that the S .andard
on people" had contributed 100000 to
the campaign and he told Mr. CorteIyou
that II 1t was true that such a con
tribut1on- had been made the money
should be returned at once. He wrote
that 'in view Of the open and pro
nounced opposition of the Standard Oil
company to the establishment of a
bureau of corporations, one of the most
important accomplishments of my ad-
ministration, I do not feel willing TO
accept its aid I request therefore
without further delay"
Mr.. Corteloyu informed me-" said
Mr.. Roosevelt. that no contributions
had been received from the Standard
Oil people and that none would be re-
ceived If any contribution was re-
ceived it was against my explicit and
reiterated directions as set forth in
these letters"
Col Roosevelt quoted from an open
letter issued just prior to the 1904 cleo
ton by Mr.. Cortelyou, saying that every
contribution waS&made without pledge
or understanding regarding the policy
of the administration.
I hit hard. I never hit if I can help
1t, but never hit softly" said Col
Roosevelt today in referring to his re-
ply of last night to senator Penrose's
statement in the senate.
Col Roosevelt said he would make no
further comment on the PenroSe state
ment at this time. taking the ground
that he had disposed of the matter, 50
far as it affected him. He had come
to Wilkesbarre primed for the senator's
statement. having brought with him
which he had collected before his de-
parture in the expectation that Mr.. Pen
rose would attack him
Thinks Statement Is Sufficient.
Col. Roosevelt was asked whether
he was willing to go before the Clapp
committee 20 testify in regard to the
statements that contributions were
made to the 1904 campaign by the
Standard Oil.
The question is absurd" he said.
the letters and kilograms that passed
between Mr., Cortelyou and myself are

MAY ASK TENTS FOR
COLONISTS AT DOUGLAS

Douglas. Ariz.. Aug. 22.-No prepar-
atoms have yet been made for the
housing of the colonists who are max
ing their way to this city for protec-
ton. 1t is impossible to secure houses
for them at the present time in Douglas
and the only way out Of the situation
seems TO be to secure a supply of tents
from FL PasO, which the government
has furnished the army for such emer-
genc1es as now present themselves.
However, as no requests have been
made to the proper authorities for such
a move, nothing has been done, and
Douglas may find several hundred
women and children on her hands with
no means of providing shelter for them
unless immediate steps are taken.
According to Sam Suplee, who has ar
rived from the San Miguel mine, near
Bavispe no rebels have yet made their
appearance in that district.

FLYNN SAYS STANDARD OIL
PUTS o. Is. on SENATORS
Former Pennsylvania Senator Asserts
He Never Asked Penrcse to
Support Him.

Philadelphia, Pa. Aug 22-Former
state senator William Flynn, the rec
ognized leader of the Roosevelt forces
in this state. refused to discuss the
charges made in the senate by senator
Penrose except in formal statement
which he gave out through the North
American. His statement in part fol-
when the senatorial vacancy oc-
Cured in 1904, a practically solid Re
publican delegation in the assembly
from Allegheny county and a large
majority from western Pennsylvania
favored my selection to succeed Quay.
Penrose was in favor Of Oliver. He
was not allowed to name his man, for
the appointment of Knox was decided
upon at a conference had in the Of
fices of the Pennsylvania railroad in
Philadelphia by president A j. Cas-
satt, Henry Clary Frick and ex-senator
Don Cameron, the latter two represent
ing the corporations in this state and
the big interests in New York.
Says PenrOse Is Controlled.
Under the old system in Pensylva-
MIA no senator has been chosen from
his state without the o. K. of Stand
ard Oil and the Pennsylvania railroad.
If the kilograms which PenroSe read
in the senate are genuine they show
that I made pretty good guess as to
who would dictate the appointment TO
succeed Quay and also that Archbold
and his associates were opposed to me.
The fact that q selection was made
and forced on Penrose demonstrates
that he was then, as now, under the
domination of Archbold and the in
terests which turned down my ap-
pointment
"Penrose alleges that I offered one
million dollars or two million dollars
to him and to Israel w. Durham to
favor my appointment to the senate
Penrose's allegation disproves itself
from several angles
"As a matter OF fact I never asked
either Penrose or Durham to support
me for senator and never discussed the
matter with them These men were
my personal and political enemies with
whom ] have had no connection or re-
lations asince 1895"
