 IS TRIAL OF POLICE
Mayor Gaynor's System of a Superficial Regulation of Vice Becomes a Sub ject of Attack by De- fendant's Counsel
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

NEW YORK, Sept 6-Whether Po- lice Commissioner Waldo gave gen eral instructions" to suppress disor- derIy houses and private verbal or ders to allow them to run as long as conditions of outward decency' were observed, became a question at issue today when Cornelius C. Hayes, the suspended inspector, was placed on trial before Deputy POlic COmmis- sioner Mckay on the charge of mak- ing a false statement with regard to his police duties.
 While Hayes was ostensibly the de- fendant, Thomas D. Thatcher, his counsel, virtually transformed the in quiry into a probe of the police de- partment and an arraignment of the policy of Mayor Gaynor toward the regulation of vice.
 The attorney grilled Commissioner Waldo in an effort to show that out ward decency" was the criterion by which the mayor wished the question of vice prosecution to be determined and then he put Hayes on the stand to prove that the commissioner had given the inspector verbal orders in pursuance of this policy and had not cOuntermanded them until they had become public.
 Hayes emphatically denied that he made a false statement when he told the commissioner that the latter had ordered him not to make raids on disOrderly houses except on the com missioner's instructions.

TOPEKA, Sept 6-The Roosevelt presidential electors won another round in the legal battle to get them off the republican ticket of Kansas today. Judge Sanborn of the United States circuit court of appeals denied an injunction asked by the support CTS of President Tafts candidacy to prohibit the names of eight Roosevelt electors being placed on the general election ballot in the November cleo ton under the republican emblem.
 In his opinion Judge Sanborn said: The consideration of the arguments and the consideration of the briefs submitted in this case has convinced me that it is unnecessary to consider and decide any disputed questions of fact herein. Conceding the truth of all the averments of the bill. the ap- plication for the injunction cannot be granted because under the decision of the supreme court of the United States in GilIs vs. Harniss which is controlling in this court the threat ened wrongful deprivation of a citizen of his right to vote under the con stitution of the United States by cleo ton officials and others. presents no cause of action in equity for an in- junction to prevent it.
 The remedy is at law, not by in junction in equity For this reason. in difference to numerous decisions the application for the injunction must be and is hereby denied"

Land Commissioner of Sys- tenn Explains Withdrawal of Grant Lands From the Market in Violation of Terms of Grant
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArcHI

PORTLAND, Ore, Sept. 6.-Placing upon the shoulders of the Booth Kelly Lumber company full responsibility and blame for the Hartman order of 1903 withdrawing 2,300,000 acres of Oregon and California grant lands from entry and sale C. w. Eberlin, former land commissioner of the Southern Pacific introduced novel ideas into the land forfeiture hearing today.
 Because the big lumber and timber company of Willamette valley wanted a monopoly, thought it could coerce the railway into selling it's timbered holdings to one great concern, Eber- lin said, war was declared on the Southern Pacific. One result of this struggle was that the Southern Pa cific concluded to withdraw all its grant land from the market.
 Eberlin also said that the records and titles had become badly confused and that the withdrawal was partly to enable the company to get these affairs in shape. The San Francisco fire destroyed a large part or all o1 the records, making it necessary tC maintain the withdrawal for an in definite period.
 No reference was made by the for mer land commissioner to the alleged declaration of E. H. Hartman that he would keep these grant lands as z great wood yard for the entire liar riman system

CHICAGO. Sept. 6.-Details of the interior workings of the alleged vice ring at West Hammond, which is be- lieved to have claimed John Mess maker, a railroad engineer, as one of several victims who are said to have been slain by poison, were revealed today before Judge John E. Ownes. in the county court when Mrs Ethel Parker. known as Frankie Ford" took the stand for the first time in court and told her story of Mcssmaker' s death.
 Mrs. Parker told of black bottle" " she said Henry Foss, the keeper of the resort always kept back of the bar, and declared that in her opinion drink was given Messmaker of this, the morning of the day he was killed.
 She declared that on one occasion Foss said he would fix" Messmaker if he did not keep away. The woman hinted that perhaps jealousy might have had something to do with Mess makers death.

COMPLICATIONS
 SEEM AIMED AT
Additional Troops Have Been Sent to Threatened Point Along With Signal Corps to Keep Rebels on Their Own Side
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

FL PASO, Sept. 6.-Reports of a skirmish between United States troops and rebels who crossed the international line below Hachita, New Mexico. were received today by Gen eral E. z. Steever, at Fort Bliss, Texas. According to the official re port the Mexican rebels engaged fif- teen men of the Third cavalry and one rebel was captured. An hour later a strong body of rebels crossed the line but were driven into Mexico by the American soldiers after fight ing at long range
 This entrance of Mexican rebels, as reported. marks the sixth invasion of American territory in the last few weeks. It is probable that the border patrol along the Sonora line will be strengthened, say the officials at Fort Bliss, from where General Steever commands the department, as well as the Arizona and New Mexico borders adjacent. At present three troops of the Third cavalry are stationed near Hachita.
 Although no one was injured the incident is deemed of more than passing importance in military circles. It is asserted that Inc Salazar, the rebel chief. operating below the New Mexico border is intent on causing international complications, consistent with his disarmament of American settlers in the state of Chihuahua.
 Since the invasion of Sonora by rebels Salazar has made many in Cendiary speeches as wei as issued 9 proclamation against Americans, according to advices received by the military authorities here.
 It is believed that the rebels know the dividing line between New MeXi- co and the Mexican state of Sonora, and that the expedition on American soil, as was reported today, was merely to antagonize the troops sta tiOned along the border to preserve neutrality. The rebels are in great need of ammunition and the activity of the American soldiers in prevent ing the smuggling of munitions of war has caused much i'll feeling It was determined to receive the rebels warmly, as it was impossible for the American soldiers to pursue invaders farther than the international boun- dary
 In the fight today fifteen American troopers met a superior number oi rebels who attempted to raid g ranch on the American side, result ing in a long range engagement anC the capture of one rebel while an others horse was shot from under it's rider The rebels later returned in great numbers only to be driver over the boundary by the American soldiers
