New Bethlehem, Pa.-Ela Latimer,
a former employe of the postoffice
here, is alleged to have admitted that
she is responsible for a shortage of
$6,S00 in the accounts OF Postmaster
George l.. Thomas. While the resi-
dents are eagerly awaiting develop.
ments, the young girl appears to
have nothing on her mind but the
fact that her father refused to al ow
her to attend the automobile show in
Pittsburgh last week. The girl spent
three days in assisting the postoffice
inspector in his investigation. Other
wise, it would prob ably have taken
months to discover the amount OF the
shortage and the system used, The
girls salary was $32 month.
New Bethlehem is all agog over the
one and only sensation in its history.
THAT postoffice shortage of $6SOO

fire in 40 years said one old resident,

money!" is the question beieng gen

Miss Latimer's friends explain how
she disposed of the cash she is alleged
to have stolen.
"'Ep," said one of her girl friends

very independent and kept her pFi-

good to her friends and to her family.
She liked to dress well and she kept

Miss Latlmer has not been seen on

their loss by looters at $4,000 Fl.
Spring had loss of $4,000. Jacob
Kleinmans loss was $4,000. Other
losses were not so heavy, but the ag-

Amerio .As who visited Juarez say
they counted eight dead and saw nine
wounded men as result of orgies,
but the mutineers say that only three
were killed Three wounded men were
brought to FL laso. They are Fred
Leyva, Gus Ruhnke and Mariana Rod

Two Men and Two Women
Strikebreakers Murdered.
FOREIGN QUARTER IN TERROR
"Scab" Chaked On Door-Vlctlms
Had Celebrated Uproarously the
Return to Work Night Be-
fore Their Death.

Lawrence, Mass.-Terror prevails
throughout the French-C Canadian col
ony in Valley Street as the result OF
the murder of four strikebreaking op.
eratives, who had returned to work In
spite of threats made by members of
the Italian colony in adjacent streets.
In all the foreign quarter there is in.
tense excitement over the crime, and
only the presence and activity of the
militia have prevented serious disord-
er and possibly interracial conflicts.
The four victims are:
Mr.. and Mrs. JOSEPH SARVARIA.
Miss ANNA TANGUAY.
FELIX CONN.
A fellow-countrywoman visited a
three-story ramshackle tenement be-
tween Hampshire and Franklin sts.,
in which dozen families of French
Canadian operatives are housed.
While passing the landing on the Sec
ond floor she discovered blood coming
from beneath the door of a three-room
tenement occupied by the Sarvarias
who two days before returned to work
in the mills Shrieking in fright, she
rushed from the house and told a
group of tenants, gathered on the side
walk One of the men went up to the
second floor and forced open the door
In the kitchen he discovered the
bodies of two men and a woman with
their faces slashed almost beyond re-
cognition. IN an adjoining bedroom
was found IL body of the second wo
man, who lad also been mutilated In
most f1endish fashion
In an Incredibly short time the
crime became known to other inmates
of the house, who fiocked into the
streets, hysterlcal with terror.
One Canadian forced his way to che
front of the excited mob and in stem
torian tones urged his fellow-country-
men to take reprisal upon the Italians
in the adjoining section of the mill
district.
Before the mob could act on this
advice two companies of infantry
swept into the rect at either end,
and with leveled bayonets began to
drive the crowd to the sidewalks and
then into the neighboripg tenements.

Mexico City.-The Madero Govern
ment faces a crisis. The President and
members of his Cabinet now admit the
rebellion headed by Emiliano Zapata
has grown to such proportions as to
make it the most formidable menace
yet faced by the present Government.
The conduct of the campaign against
the Zapatistas, now operating over
wide area, and the uprising at Juarez
were discussed in special Cabinet
meeting. The President was not will
ing to admit that the mutiny of troops
at Juarez was directly connected with
the Zapatista rebellion, and 1t was
agreed that Pascual Orozco and 400
men whom he has been ordered to
take from Chihuahua to Juarez would
be sufficient to restore order at that
point, Nevertheless the Juarez upris-
Ing Is more seriously considered than
the officials here will admit,
