Four Things Accomplished

Four things he said he had brought about in the department; First, he had done away with police Hviolence and club bing;" second. he had forbidden the prae- tice, of policemen degrading themselves to get evidence against disorderly houses by consortng with immoral women; third he had insisted on the integrity of the civil service, so that Murphy or any body else can't influence appointments" fourth he had done away with graft in connection with enforcement of the liquor laws. This graft. he said, had amounted to $3,000.0O0 annually.
 Though the mayor lost his temper time and again and protested to MT, Buckner that he was asking foolish questions, the young lawyer kept at his task patiently. unruffled by the rebuffs. The crowd which damned the aldermanic chamber until standing room only remained, fre- quently broke into applause at the mayors retorts
 "I hope you do not think [ am trying to badger you, MT Mayor remarked MT. Buckner.

Hayes Trial Ends

New York. September i0.-After the heads of all r inspection districts of the Greater New York police zone had been called as concluding witnesses, the depart mental trial of Capt. Cornelius q. Hayes ended late today. Decision of the issue, mainly one of veracity between Hayes and Police Commissioner Rhinelander Waldo, concerning the attitude of the police de- pertinent toward disorderly houses, rests with Deputy Police Commissioner Douglas L Mackay sitting as judge. He reserved decision.
 Hayes, recently removed as head of an inspection district because he officially stated that Commissioner Waldo had or dered him not to enter disorderly houses SO long as there was outward show of decency, has sworn on the stand to hav- ing received such orders, which the com missioner has hatly denied under oath. Hayes 1T associate inspectors were called to the stand one after another late today. Their brief testimony was uniformly fav- orable to the commissioner, in that they all declared they had never received the mo raid' order which Hayes described On the other hand q number of the n- spectors testified that the commissioner had repeatedly admonlshed them, under penalty of demotion, to keep their districts clean

 Attack Schepps' Testimony
 New York, September 10-An effort to discredit the testimony of Sam Schepps state witness in the Rosentllal murder case, was begun today when District Att torney Whitman was served with an or- der to show cause why commission should not be appointed 10 examine three witnesses in Hot Springs. Ark The witnesses, among them Acting Ma yor Petit of Hot Springs, are said to have i been told by Schepps while he was in custody there, that he could exculpate Police Lieutenant Charles Becker, ac- cused of instigating the murder, and whose trial is scheduled to begin next Thursday Schepps. according to the con tention of John r. Mcintyre. counsel for Becker, upon whose application the or der was granted, told a story of the Ro- senthal murder to those with whom he was associated in Hot Springs. entirely different from that he told to District Attorney Whitman. He is said to have declared that Rosenthal was t victim of gang feud.
 Mr. Whitman said tonight that he would oppose the order, but, if he lost, would send an assistant district attorney with the commission to eross-examihe the wit nesses.
 A clause in the aplieation ordering thu trial to be stayed until the commission made its report was stricken out by Jus. tice Newburger. in granting the order thus defeating the first of what Districi Attorney Whitman expects to be a se- i ries of steps to have the trial post poned He antiuipates that an application for q change of venue will be the next stet taken.

Permission Given Mexico to Move Troops Across Uni

DEFEAT OF. SALAZAR
 VERY GRATIFYING
Assault on Ojinaga Is Repulsed Satisfaction Felt at Washington. Rebels Planning New Maneu-
 ver-Cavalry Is Delayed

The permission to move troops was granted Mexico with out hesitation and everything will be done to insure careful transportation of the federals.
 While a certain amount of unrest will exist on the international boundary line as long as the trouble in Mexico con tinues officials here are deeply gratified that the scene of hostilites apparently is being removed from the border. With a considerable force of federals already garrsoning strategic towns in Sonora it is expected that the 12oO additional men will be sufficient either to subdue the rebels or force them further south
 The Mexican troops will be entrained at Fl Paso and be transported to Nogales Ariz. Their arms and ammunition will
 
 they will go through American territory unarmed. In addition they will be guard ed by a detachment of United States regulars. The date for the movement has not been set
 Salazar's Defeat Gratifying
 The defeat of General Salazar by the federals in Ojinaga was learned here today with satisfaction His presence on the border has been a menace to the continuance of peaceful relations with the Mexican people because of his raids into American territory.
 There is much speculation on the con- centration of rebel bands in the Ojas mountains and their preparation for a lcng and hurried march. t
 Military observers are inclined to be- lieye the rebel leaders intend either to gain the Mexican Central railroad and intercept the federals before they can get to Fl Paso or they contemplate escape from the federal cordon seek ing to surround them and are planning a fighting retreat along the mountains until they can join the Zapatistas In the south. M
 If the latter move is adopted, the campaign, 1t Is acknowledged would be lengthy and costly one The rebels are reported to have plenty of horses and consequently much better equipped for such a campaign than the federals.
 President Taft today authorized com mercia1 shipments of 1000 rifles, shot guns. pistols and revolvers and 1885, 900 cartridges and shells from New York to Mexico by water. The ship ments are destined for undisturbed portions of the republic.

PURSUING REBELS
Federal Troops in Fine Condition with
Small Loss Compared with En-
emy-RebuiIding Bridges.

General Huertas Headquarters, Rel
lano, Mexico, May 25.-General Huerta
this morning ordered a division of
cavalry to pursue the rebels who are
fleeing northward, and he has his en-
gineers repairing the railroad bridges
burned by rebels, who destroyed all
bridges between Rennalo and Cor
ralitos.
The federals are in much better
condition than are the defeated rebels,
as their losses in the recent fighting
were small because the field artillery
kept the rebel infantry from getting
in range. General Orozco's cannon
proved to be practically useless, many
of the shells falling some three hun
dred yards short.
II is estimated the rebels lost fully
5000 of 5000 men engaged in battle.
More than 800 dead and wounded were
found behind at Rellano by the ad-
