NO ARMY IN MEXICO
Federal Troops Scattered,
Says George R. Scrugham.

WIFE INSISTS HE ABDICATE

The Mexican crisis has brought many
interesting stories from Washingtonians
familiar with the country and the people.
George r. Scrugham of this city, who
has spent much time in the republic on
the south of the United States since the
present revolutionary troubles began, last
night, in conversation with a Star re-
porter, threw many sidelights on con-
ditions in that country. He said:
Our troops could march from the pres
ent base at FL Paso to the City of Mexico
without encountering an organized army,
because Mexico has no such thing. The
federal troops consist of large bodies
of men scattered over a wide area. while
the so-called insurrectos are bands of
100 or 200 men armed and invariably
mounted. They ride little Mexican ponies,
which they have no hesitation in pre-
empting anywhere they choose joke
was current down there that the insur-
rectos would go into ranch as infantry
and emerge as cavalry The federal
troops are convictS who have been SEN
fenced to the army, and the recruiting is
done largely by the jeffe politicos making
charges and trying men for alleged Of
lenses, and then sentencing them to
serve in the army.
Ihey are not uniformed, but wear any
sort of clothes, sandals, and are gen
orally provided with a Mauser rifle and
a sufficient quantity of ammunition. They
are only on the move in the daytime,
as at night they are placed in corrals
and guards set over them. In spite of
the way they are treated, they are most
vicious fighters, was shown in the
CasaS Grande battle, where. of the loo
troops engaged, TOO men were killed. The
dead left on the battlefield were piled into
trenches, oil poured on and the bodies
burned. There were no surgeons except
a few jackleg Mexican doctors who
amounted to nothing Simon Garcia
Cuirere, then on the staff of Madero's
army, was shot in the hand SO that it
was necessary to amputate, and they
were obliged to take an ordinary saw and
cut through the bone above the wrist

Vote a Death Warrant.

"The law in Mexico required that the
voter take blank ballot, register his
name and address in his own handwrit-
ing and indicate his choice for president
Formerly a vote against Diaz was
death warrant, as after an election all
such voters were spotted and their death
accomplished in one way or another. BY
the way, they never call him Diaz in
that country. He is always Don Porfirio.

"WirclcSS" Wilson Dies.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 27.-Just as he
was folding a letter he had written
to his daughter, Ola Wilson, It her
home in Lancaster, Texas, telling her
of his excellent health and a quick
parole he felt sure would come after
the next session of the pardon board,
Christopher Columbus Wilson,
known during his spectacular trial
and since his conviction as Wire
less" Wilson, became suddenly i'll.
and, despite heroic efforts by physi-
clans and nurses, breathed his last
Sunday night at 1910 o'clock in the
Federal prison hospital.
Wilson'S death was not only sud-
den, but, despite his 67 years Of life,
was a great surprise to the warden
and other officials about the prison.
For months past Wilson had been
working in the prison library. His
education, his extensive reading and
his wide observation In days gone by
all c%onspired to make him a valuable
man in that line of work.
A dispatch from New York says:
Col. Christopher Columbus Will
sons death leaves his financial af-
fairs still unsettled and a tangle of
legislation growing out Of the United
Wireless Telegraph Company, of
which he was president, to be ad-
justed.
Last May Wilson produced a sched-
ule showing how he had spent more
than a million dollars in four years.
He also testified that, although
worth half a million dollars in 1909,
his wealth had shrunk to a gold
watch and a pair OF cuff links. Col.
Wilson lived regally before his con-
viction, but the receivers search for
assets has been almost a fruitless
task.
G.. G. Wilson, whose death occur
red at Atlanta last night, was a
native OF COrSicana. Texas, and was
wcli-knOwn over that State.

CONFIDENT THAT
He Will WIN OUT
Lightweight Championship
Aspirant Declares That If
There Is a Knockout He
Will Get It.

San Francisco, Nov. 23.--"If wolgast
fights, I'll fight; II he stalls. I'll stall.
I'll meet him at his own game and beat
him to it as I did before. Mark my
words. II there Is a knockout I will
score 1t. If the fight goes the limit, the
decision will go to me-"
Weighing just 1S4s pounds and ap-
parently as strong as a young bull,
Willie Richie here this afternoon un-
bosomed himself as above on what he
will do to Ad Wolgast when the two
meet next Thursday at Daily City, near
here, in a 20-round go for the light
weight championship of the world. The
fact that the odds today are 10 to Z
against him apparently does not worry
Richie. He and James w. Coffroth.
the promoter Of the fight. and a big
delegation visited Wolgast's quarters
at the beach this afternoon. Wolgast
worked out in apparent good form, but
admits that he is bothered by a cold,
and that his left hand still pains him.
Wolgast, his strongest admirers adj
nit, is not as rugged in appearance as
he was before his operation. The old
hard lines have dropped out of his face
and body. He is rounder and appar-
emily slower. When he gets into the
ring. Ritchie's hackers say, he will not
be the Wolgast who tore through AZ
bruising rounds with Battling Nelson,
and money is already going up in fair
volume that after Thanksgiving day
San Francisco will hail native son
as lightweight champion

weak. The Harvard line held. Brick

from punt formation, Notwithstanding
the fact that Yale followed and COW
cred him closely.
During the second period Brickley
advanced the hall to the 40-yard line
and then on line plays he helped to
advance it further, but failed when
he again attempted a drop kick. Dur
ing this period Brickley made what
was perhaps his only misplay. fumb-

He had replaced Philbin. His punting
was also good.
During the third period Harvard
piled up 10 more points.
Flynn fumbled on Yales 1S-yard
line, Hitchcock recovered and Brick
ley was given the chance. He raced
around left and was downed exactly
at the corner of the field, but safely
over the line for a touchdown.
The first time the forward pass was
used successfully was made near the
close of the quarter. Harvard was
within striking distance of the Yale
goal and Brickley dropped back as
