County Assembly.
DELEGATES ARE SELECTED
Name Men Who Will Go to National
Meeting Held at Springfield
May IS and 10.

Strong resolutions denouncing the
head officers of the Modern Woodmen
and demanding a thorough investi-
CATION into the financial administra-
ton of the head office, were passed
at the meeting of the Rock Island
County Modern Woodmen assembly
held Saturday at Beselin's hall. Prac-
tically all of the afternoon was taken
up with a discussion of the report
of the committee on resolutions. Sec
ton by section the report was dis
cussed and a number Of changes made.
Delegates we're selected to the ma
tioual meeting with is to be held in
Springfield. May Is and 16. Those
named were: p. S. Wilcher, No. %,
Rock Island; William VOTERS, No. 3S,

dale. The alternates were: George
Brown, No. 81, Milan; L. X. Eihl, No.

designated TO give out all informa-
ton concerning the movement
The question of rates was thorough
ly discussed and the entire sentiment
Of the meeting seemed against the
proposed increase. Most of the speak
ers admitted that a raise ought to
come and some of them advocated
an increase of so per cent over the
present charge. but none of them IA
vored the figures arranged at the Chi
cago meeting.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
The complete text of the resolutions
as amended and passed follows:
Rock Island, Ill, May 3, 1913.-We,
the representatives of the insurgent
Modern Woodmen of Rock Island coun-
ty, in convention assembled adopt the
following platform as expressive OF
our attitude on the issues now con-
fronting the membership of the Mod
ern Woodmen Of America:
II LII Jul III oN lSASh 10 llLt
restoration of representative govern
ment in the Modern Woodmen, to the
end that all it's policies may be de
termined by the membership and all
its problems by them solved.
Second-That our second is the re
peal of the illegally enacted Chicago
rates.
Thlrd-We believe that all members
of the M. w. A. should be on the same
basis, and believe that only one plan
of insurance and only one table OF
rates should be in use by our society
We accept no change Of rates unless
it be first approved by referendum
vote Of the membership. We believe
that the present officials of the head
camp have outlived their usefulness
and that the best interests of the SO
ciety demand a change in the officers
of the organization.
Fourth-We believe that the Mo
bile bill, In its present form or sim
liar measures, are against the inter
ests of our society, and demand it:

 General Scott, who is in charge of the American troops here, ordered troop of cavalry and company of in fantry to guard the bridge, instructing them that they were to kill the first Mexican that crossed over it.
 Reports received here from across the river state that many American women had been grossly insulted by the greasers, and were in state of mortal fear.
 The leaders of the Mexican forces as- sured General Scott this afternoon that the attack of Lieutenant Acosta was directly contrary to the orders of his superiors. Several of the Mexican off, cers attempted to prevent the attack, but Acosta was drunk and threatened to shoot them if they did not get out of his way. The Mexican officers sent their apologies to General Scott, and assured him that they would do any thing in their power to rectify the in- jury done.

INVASION THAT
 LASTED QUICK

Fl Paso, Sept. 2l.-In an attempt to cross over into this city, Lieutenant Acosta of the Mexican federal army, was today shot dead, and a number of his followers wounded.
 Acosta, with small following, started across the bridge with the avowed intention of killing the grin goes. As they were nearing the American side the Mexican officer or dered his men to fire upon the customs officers. The latter reciprocated im- mediately and with telling effect, the leader of the invaders being shot dead, and the command driven back in great disorder. Three Americans were in jured in the fracas, and arrested for the death of Acosta, but were later re- leased on s1, 900 bonds each.
 Immediately after the fracas about 8 thousand Mezicans crowded the
