Rebels are threatening to sack the
Hearst estates at Babicora, in the State
of Chihuahua. Mexico. according to dis
patches received here yesterday. Consul
Letcher has been informed and has al
ready made a request to the Mexican
government to send troops there at once.
He reports that assurances of protec-
ton for the Hearst properties have been
given him.
No change in the situation was appar-
ent in any of the dispatches received
here yesterday. The southern situation
is now the most serious, owing TO the

from Los Angeles. he will still be In
opposition to the administration, for.
though it is known that the President
regards Intervention as nearer than ever
before, it is equally understood here that
not only Mr.. Taft but all the officers
Of the government are really opposed
to Intervention.
Reports that Intervention has been de-
cided upon by the President are univer-
sally denounced in official circles. Only
the force of circumstances can ever
bring a decision to intervene in Mexico.

F|REMA LOSES
JObAND ENDSL|FE
Lentie L. Jett Shoots Self Dead
After Telling Wife of
Threat.

A few hours after he had declared he
would commit suicide. the lifeless body
OF Lentie L. Jett thirty years old. a
fireman. was found in bed in the front
room on the second floor of his home, at
So Florence Street Northeast. last night.
In his right hand. clenched in a death
grip. was a .32-Caliber revolver with one
chamber empty. and in the right temple
was a wound showing where the bullet
had entered. The lead probably lodged
in the brain.
Jett was discharged Saturday night
from the brewery where he was en-
ployed as a fireman. and the loss Of the
position seemed to cause him to grow
respondent. Mrs. Minnie Jett, his wife,
tried to cheer him by saying he could
soon procure another situation.
Told Wife of Threat.
AT supper last night, it is said. Jett
told his wife he was going to end his
troubles by killing himself. Mrs. Jet
Gid not take his threat seriously. She
believed his poodiness soon would dis
appear, and that in a day or two he
" ould be seeking a new Job.
Shortly after supper Mrs. Jett went to
the home OF a neighbor. leaving her hus-
band alone in the houses She told her
friend of her husbands threat. and the
friend told Mrs Jett she should not
leave her husband alone in such frame
Of mind. This caused Mrs. Jett to be-
come uneasy.
She went home and found the front
screen door had been locked on the in
side. The rear door also was locked,
and all the windows had been fastened
While she was trying to gain entrance.
persons living in the adjoining house
told her they had heard a shot shortly
before o'clock. Mrs. Jett sent for the
police.
Detective Smith and Bicycle Policeman
Barteman. Of the Ninth Precinct, went
to the house. They cut through the
screen door and entered, discovering the
body shortly after.
The coroner is making an investiga-
ton. He had not issued a certificate
at an early hour this morning. Police
officials, however, do not doubt that Jett
committed suicide, as there was nothing
to indicate that he met death at the
hands Of another than himself.

SAFETY OF BLOND

Explorer Stefansson Says Traders,
Missionaries, and Scientists
Should Keep at Distance.
FEARS EPIDEMIC OF MEASLES

New York. Sept. 29.-vilhjaimur Stef-
ansson, the young explorer who discover
ed the blond Eskimos, uttered a vigor-
Gus protest to-day against invasion Of
their country in the far north by white
men. In his judgment the advent of civil
ization among them will cause the deaths
of many of them, and not improbably the
determination Of the entire tribe. Mea-
sles is the particular disease OF civiliza-
ton from which he would protect the
newly discovered people. No distinction
Is made by Mr.. Stefansson between
whalers, fur traders, game hunters or
even missionaries, so far as the health
and existence of the EskimGs are Con-
cerned. All of them. he declares. and
even scientific investigators like himself
are a menace
With the object of literally protecting
the Eskimos from civilization. Mr.. Stef-
ansson stated that he will visit Ottawa
in a short time to urge action by the
Dominion government He suggests that
It would be feasible for Canada TO quar-
antine them m the same way that the
Eskimos Of Greenland are quarantined
from the outside world by the govern
ment of Denmark.
When a new people are discovered the
commercial interests want to know IL
there is any money in 1t and the churches
saved" said Mr.. Stefansson. mo one
cares a hang whether or not the people
are eXterminated.
Likely to Get Measles.
The most deadly disease that has
ever struck the Eskimo of Alaska is
measles. 1t has killed over so per cent
of all the Eskimos that have died
within the last twenty years in Canada
aUly ne mis- eli ms II mr.
ships that bring in supply stores
for the missionaries are just as
likely to bring in measles as whalers
or fur traders.
1T was the measles that reduced the
tribe of 1000 Eskimos at the mouth
of the Mackenzie River to forty in
sixty years Three hundred Eskimos
in a tribe at Point Barrow have been
reduced to twenty in less than thirty
years. l am giving up opportunities to

oughly before an epidemic of measles
breaks cut as the result of the visits
of missionaries and others"
When It was suggested that he was
probably in for considerable adverse
criticism for advocating the exclusion
of missionaries. Mr.. Stefansson re-
piled:
The missionaries should place the
commandments of sanitation on a par
with those of Sinai. I look upon my
self as being exactly as dangerous as
the missionary. No matter how good
our intentions may be either one of US
may be a germ carrier. II had my
