VACANT LOT PLAN
IS STARTED MERE
Plan to Cultivate Them tC
Aid Poor and Beautify
City Proposed.

In conjunction with other lines of
philanthropical work in this city n
movement is being started which, 1t is
thought, will beautify the city and
give a large number Of poor famt-
lies work and aid them to become self
sustaining. The cultivation Of vacant
lots in the city is the idea which is be-
ing advanced. 1t is believed by the
persons who are back Of the movement
that it will be most extensive and that
it will meet with the approval OF a
large number OF people.
Captain H. H. Deuter, of the local
branch of the Salvation Army Is en-
thusiastic over the idea. He Is sure
it will be successful. He says that he
has helped in such movements in 9TH
er cities and that they have always
been carried to 4 satisfactory culmina-
ton.
1t is the plan to interest the city Of
ficials, the city health board and the
park superintendent in the movement
and with their cooperation it is be-
lieved the economic and hygienic in
terests of the city would be greatly inn
proved. The board of public works
and the health department probably
will be requested to attend to the work
of having vacant lots cleared. Persons
who are backing the movement will OBJ
tain the consent from the owners of
vacant lots, which are not used or
cultivated now, to allow the charitable
organizations to place such lots in
cultivation.
! In speaking of this matter today one
person declared that he knew OF moth
ing which offers such return on the
investment as the cultivation of va
cant lots. He declared that the cit,
could be beautified in this manner and
that If the plan is carried out as it il
in other cities the lots will be void ol
rubbish, which makes q city look un
cleanly.
| There has been q great deal Of tall
about this matter at meetings OF vari
GUS organizations and it Is likely tha'
joint meeting will be called within
a short time when plans may be per
fected for a city-wide movement O
this character. ...-

QUARANTINE ORDER
IS WELL OBSERVED
Owners of Unmuzzled Dogs
Will Be Prosecuted, Au-
thorities Announce.

A general observance of the new
sixty-day dog quarantine was reported
by members of the county health de-
partment this morning, after noting
the first effects of the edict that
went into effect at midnight last night.
Not much activity was evidenced by
the county officials In punishing vio-
lators Of the first general quarantine
in the county, but DR.. J. E. King.
health commissioner, made tour and
secured evidence against several vio-
lators.
Sheriff Steen and his deputies sta
toned in other parts OF the county are
ready to enforce the new order. The
law Furnishing dog owner for violat.
ing the quarantine by a fine OF from
IS to $50 will be taken advantage OF
by the officials.
Local authorities are agreed that q
rigid enforcement of this order is the
only way in which the present rabies
epidemic can be eliminated. At the
end of sixty days all the animals now
infected will have died.
Most Of the dog owners accept the
order favorably. and but little oppo-
sition has developed. 1t IL thought
that only few unmuzzled CANNES will
remain for the sheriff to shoot.
In asserting that he heartily ap.
proved Of the action taken by the
county department, even though it
over-rode his authority, city health Of
ficer, T. H. Davis, said today: Il want
to get rid OF this mad dog business.
because eventually some little child
will be bitten, and l believe a single
child is worth more than all the dogs
in the county"

Ell PASO. Tex. Feb 27.-The Mexi-
can City Of Jaurez, across the Rio
Grande river from this city. is in the
hands OF the Mexican insurrectos to-
cay for the third time within a year
The city surrendered to a rebel army
OF seven hundred men under Col Cam
pa. shortly before noon today without
a drop of blood being shed. The rebels
advanced slowly upon the city, firing
as they marched, although their entry
was not opposed.
There was not a casualty in the
ranks of either the rebels or federals,
SO far as could be learned here. The
garrison refused 10 fight. despite the
Pleading of the mayor. The mayor re-
fused to surrender the city but the
rebels were received by the citizens by
acclamation. The few federal soldiers
in the garrison fraternized with the
rebels and the insurrecto standard was
iloisted above the barracks.
From the sound OF the firing, caused
by the useless volleys Of the rebels as
they advanced upon the city from the
; south, it was thought in this city that
an engagement was raging. So positive
was this belief that Col. Steever, com.
mending the United States forces,
massed his troops along the American
side of the river about the northern
end of the International bridge
Information received from Jaurez,
about noon today. stated that Col
Campo had proclaimed himself com.
maEder Of the garrison and that the
erctwhile federals were enrolling
themselves under the insurgent ban.
ner. Campo issued a proclamation OF
warning against any opposition TO- his
occupation OF the town, ana Ills tfttie
army was split up 20 that the south
ern outposts could be guarded against
any surprise attack by Gen. Villas fed
cral forces, which is known to be
somewhere between Chihuahua and

NEW YORK. Feb. 27.-Whether the
1st 900 mine workers employed in the
hard coal region will lay down their
picks and walk out on strike on the
last day Of next month, and by their
action inaugurating one of the great
est industrial struggles the United
States has ever known. depends in a
great measure upon the results Of the
conference between the miners and op-
orators began today at the offices Of
the New Jersey Central Railroad in
this city. George r. Baer. president of
the Philadelphia Reading Coal Com
yany. appeared at the conference as
the chief representative of the opera
tors. The committee to present the de-
rUands Of the miners consisted Of John
p. White. president Of the United Mine
Workers, and several Of the other ma
t.onal onicers and district presidents.
There has been peace In the anthra-
cite coal field for nine years. The pres
ent agreement. which has been in
force since the Strike Commission, ap-
pointed by President Roosevelt in
1909. made its report, will expire at
midnight on March 81 next. The min

HAYES SAYS WALDO
APPROVED HIS WORK
Denoted New York Police In
spector Ayers Commissioner
Upheld Him.

New York, Sept. 10.-An ordeal of
cross examination was ahead of Cor
nelius G. Hayes, deposed police inspec-
tor, when he reported at the ~headquar-
teEs for the second day of his trial on
charges of making false statements re-
n%ecting on Commissioner Waldo.
Hayes was on the stand when ad-
journment was taken yesterday. He
made a good witness under direct ex-
animation, fatty contradicting the tes-
timony of the police commissioner, who
had preceded him on the stand. He
insisted that Waldo had given him or
ders not to modest ~disorderly houses
making an outward show of decen-
Cy.
When Hayes took the stand the first
question was:
What did you conceive to be your
duty toward d~isorderly houses when
o first went to the Fourth district?"
T proceed against them, get evil
dence and suppress them. That was
my duty until l was ordered by my SUI
perior officer to do otherwise
Hayes said hat after Waldo had for
hidden him to raid ~disorderly houses
where there was no outside evidence Of
disorder, he (Hayes) instructed his
men not to enter the houses to get
evidence. He added that he told Waldo
what he had done and Waldo ap-
proved
