REBELS FIRED ON U. S. TROOPS
Ranchmen Also Were Attacked Near Mexican BOrder-kiIied Raider.

Fl Paso, Tex, Jan. 2i.-Telephone reports late yesterday afternoon state that Mexican rebels yesterday morning fired on United States troopers of the Thirteenth Cavalry, patrolling the border near Fabena, Tex. Raiding of ranches by rebels in the same vicinity yesterday re- suited in a fight with American ranchmen, who drove the raiders over the line, killing one of them.
 It was said that the Troop c pa trol did not return the rebels vol ley, and that none of the American soldiers was injured. The firing on the United Stetes troops occurred directly opposite Guadalupe, where 400 rebels were stationed. The American ranchers were raided several miles to the west. Troop B of the Thirteenth Cavalry has been sent to the scene.

All shall have equal rights in the public highways laid with rails. Secret combinations shall not con- trol the prices of beef or glass or bathtubs or wall paper or bread. There shall be no restraint upon trade other than the restraint that comes upon trade through un- proftableness. But trade shall profit only to the extent that profit comes to fitness and cheapness of service. So this is what Woodrow Wilson means when he says at New York or Chicago or elsewhere, that Service" is to be the talismanic word of his administration.-The Mirror.

Terre Haute, Ind. Jan. 24.-Eu- gene V. Debs, Socialist candidate for president of the United States, in the last election, was arrested here today on an indictment returned against him in the federal court for the Third district of Kansas. Debs was charged with obstructing jus tice.
 Debs furnished Si,0OO for his ap- pearance at the May term of the United States circuit court of the Kansas district.

 It is alleged that Debs influenced the witnesses in this case to leave the juridiction of the court.

O'CORNAN REPLIES
 TO SENATOR ROOT
New YOrk'S Representative in Up per Branch of Congress Have Diff ferent Views Regarding Canal
 u. $. Must Control Ditch.

Washington, Jan. 22.-Senator O'Gorman of New York, replying today to Senator Roots speech of yesterday in which he favored the repeal of the provision of the Pan anna canal act granting free pass age to American-owned ships en- gagged in coastwise trade, said the United States would create a pain full impression abroad if it sur- rendered to any foreign power the control of American domestic poli- cieS and domestic commerce, as would be done by adoption of Senator Roots suggestion to permit board of arbitration to decide the equity of Great Britain's conten- tiOns.
 Speaking from his experience as member of President RooseVelt's cabinet when the Panama canal zone was purchased, and when over 225 arbitration treaties were made with foreign nations. Senator Root yesterday delivered the most vigorous speech that has been heard in the senate for some time. Senator Root declared that United States would violate all of it's pledges and promises to the world; would be guilty of false pretenses' in it's advocacy of arbitration, and would proclaim itself indifferent to national honor and integrity if it refuses to submit to arbitration or to retreat from the unjust position it had taken.
 He declared free coastwise tolls to American ships were illegal un- less the same concessions were made to foreign ships. The claim that the United States had domes- tic rights over the canal because it owned the canal zone constituted violation of the express guaran- tee of the United States to Great Britain, he said.

FOUR KILLED IN
 POWDER MILL
Equitable Powder COmpany's Press Exploded Wednesday Morning at Plant Near Ft. Smith
 Four Negroes Dead.

Ft. Smith, Jan. 22.-In an eXplo- sion of the powder in the press of the Equitable Powder Company, three miles southeast of Ft. Smith at 6:l5 o'clock Wednesday morn ing directly after the men started to work, two negroes were so badly burnt that they died immediately and two others injured so that they died about noon.
 The dead are: Two brothers, Ed M. Furh, 37, and Will Furh, 30, who died at once, and Dee Dixon and George Pyles.
 Ed Furh was married Only these four men were in the powder press, which is a small shack about 400 yards from the main mill. The shack was blown to pieces by the explosion of from 2,500 to 5000 pounds of powder.
 E. D. Bedwell general agent for the powder company, is making in- vestigation of the cause of the ex- plosion. Shortly before noon this was known, and Dixon, before he died, said he could give no eXpla- nation.
 The explosion was not a heavy one. No damage was done to any other property on the ground other than the shack. Not even win dow was shattered in any of the other buildings.
 Residents in the southeast part of Ft. Smith heard the explosion which was dull and heavy. Those out of doors who glanced around quickly enough saw a flash of flame and the shack. was bursted open.
 The reason that the explosion was not greater is that nearly all the powder was in cakes. These cakes are pressed tightly together and will not explode under ordi- nary conditions unconfined, but will burn fast and fiercely.
 Before Dixon died he said thai the Furh brothers were standing close to the press, having just pressed the first cake of powder The Furhs were roasted to death but none of their limbs were torr away by the explosion. The other two men, who died within five hours, were standing few fec away from the press.
 Dixon did not know the cause ot the explosion, but he said the flames seemed to leap out of tho bottom of the press box. Nor coulC the powder company officials, after a careful investigation, find ou anything that would explain it.
 If the explosion had occurred when the pressure was on, 800, pounds to the cubic inch, the re. suits would have been far mor' serious. When it did occur the meI had just taken out half the pressed cake, which is 28 inches square, ant one and half inches thick.

WINS DIVORCE WITH DREAM.
New Yorker Pictured Wife Pre- viOusly Married, Found It True.

New York, Jan. 24.-A dream so vivid that it's truth could not be doubted, caused Charles Grellett to- day to sue for an annulment of his marriage several years ago.
 On the witness stand Grellett said he dreamed that he met his wife in Paris with another man whom she introduced as her husband. When he awoke and asked his wife about the dream her replies aroused his suspicion, and he went abroad to see if his vision was true. The rec ords in Paris, Grellett testified, showed that his wife had been mar ried there in 1900 to Victor Coun- tant, then living. The case was undefended. Justice Erlanger re- served decision.

 SWEPT TO DEATH.

Suakim, Egypt, Jan. 22-Three hundred and fifty Mohammedan pilgrims from India to Mecca were drowned today by a flood, which overwhelmed the entire caravan at its encampment, midway between the sacred city of Medina, Arabia, and the port of Yembo, on the Red sea.

London, Jan. 23.-The immediate consequences of the decision of the Turkish grand council to conclude peace with the Balkan allies will be the cessation of hostilities be- tween Greece and Turkey and the surrender of the Turkish fortresses of Adrianople, Janina and Scutari. At each fortress the Turkish garri- sons will withdraw with the honors of war.
 Difficulties may arise concerning the fate of Scutari, as no one knows to whom it is to be surrendered; whether to the Montenegrins, to the provisional government, and to the representative of the powers.

EFT rs consider another Princeton team,
IL this time against Cornell, in similar
situation, both teams weary, their nerves
fraycl by hard fighting, waiting for the
whistle 10 blow: both scorclcss.
Bacon, a Cornell fullback, was about to
punt from his tcn-yard line. y lineup, q few
dcsultory plays, and the game would be
over. But al this moment luck took hand.
Itmadc Phil King and Cornell man engage
in an encounter. The umpire saw blows
struck, and ordered the offenders out of the
game. With only a minute left, the Prince
ton coach called the first substitute that
came % mind. Frank Moss, hopclcS5ly
green. was given q chance. His ineyperience
didn't matter: any moment the whistle
would blow.
As soon as Cornell formed 70 punt, Moss,
being absurllv green, ran away out 10 the
LEFT end Of the line. According 20 Princeton
football teaching at that time. Moss should
have crouchcd behind his center and tried
TO break through and block the kick. But
luck sent him out on the wing. Unprcparcd

"Rcadcrs, | suppose he would call them,
