AMBASSADOR ROBBED.

NEW YORK, Aug 2.-Detectives
today are closing in on pickpockets
who stole a wallet of official papers
from the pockets of Henry Lane Will
son, American ambassador to Mexico,
at the Pennsylvania station here yes
terday. The ambassador came to New
York to lunch with some friends. He
escorted two women of the luncheon
party to the depot. During the rush
for trains there was much jostling and
crowding and in this period the thieves
obtained the papers and s12S in mon
ey which was in the wallet.
The ambassador on discovering his
loss appealed to three policemen in
the station. The officers were apa-
thetic and told the diplomat they could
do nothing unless he could identify
the men. He then appealed to the
railroad officials, and Pennsylvania
detectives were put on the case. Three
men, two of whom are known to be
pickpockets, have been seen in the
crowds about the station recently. and
suspicion has been directed to them.
The detectives believe they know the
robbers, and are making desperate ef-
forts to apprehend them.

Denies Asking An Appropria-
tion to Bring Americans
Out of Mexico Is to Mean
Intervention.
(National News AsSociation)

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.-Secretary
of State Bryan today issued another
statement attacking what he charac-
terizes "scare-head jingoism." The
statement, which came as the result
of published reports that the secre-
tarys request for a congressional ap-
preparation of 100000 to bring the
Americans out of Mexico, was the
first step in the administration policy
of intervention, is as follows:
Statements, such as these, which
occurred in some of the morning pa
pers. attempting to put scare-head
construction upon my request for an
appropriation. are entirely without
excuse and can not be explained on
any theory consistant with interests
in the public welfare.
I'm furnishing aid to any INDECENT
person desiring to leave Mexico, this
government is simply doing what it
does at any time and any where when
American lives are endangered by in
surrection and there is no reason why
any one should attempt TO misconstrue
it"

Terry Case.

Prosecutor viii Keller went to

in the Richmond Jail charged with be-
ing an accessory to the shooting and

Marshal Richardson with his deputy
George Webb, searched for Robert
Terry with a warrant charging him
with burglarizing box car. The faith
er and his two sons. Robert and Owen,
were found sitting on some railroad
ties. Robert Terry knew Richardson
could not read and asserted that he
would not accompany the officers to
jail unless the warrant was read TO
him. He refused to believe that
George Webb had been deputized
when that officer was instructed to
read the warrant by the marshal
A verbal argument ensued and
Robert Terry with an open knife in
his. hand started toward Richardson
slashing the air with it. William
Terry cut short the argument when he
shot the marshal, killing him almost
instantly. Owen Terry is alleged TO
have handed the gun to his father.
There are four or five witnesses in
Union county who were cross-examin-
ed by the prosecutor today.

FOLGfR P WILSON
TELLS ABOUT THE
CHURCH CAMPAIGN
Returns From Geneva Lay
mems Missionary Confer
ence Enthusiastic.
TO RAISE A BIG FUND
Richmond Churches to Join
in National Move to FL
nance Missions.

Folger p. Wilson has just returned
from Lake Geneva, Wis, where he
was sent as a delegate to a confer
ence of the Layman's Missionary
Movement by the East Main Street
Friends church. lie speaks of it as
most successful event. 1t is the plan
for all of the Protestant churches of
this city to join in a national move
ment one week next March, which Will
engage the active cooperation of mil
lion men throughout the country. By
the simple process of asking every
church member to pledge something,
however little, to missions, IL is ex-
pected that these million men will OBJ
tain pledges for $4,000, 900, more than
has ever been given to missions before.
U. p. Took the Lead.
Mr.. Wilson said: The United Pres
byterians tried this plan first. They
had already given more money per
capita than any other denomination
and yet by simply asking people all at
the same time and reaching all of
them, they raised their total offerings
from 100000 to over 100000 in one
estant mission boards for the United
States and Canada have endorsed this
plan and are loaning their best men
to push it.
Mr.. Wilson says that instruction in
methods of doing this large job of So
liciting will be given by teams of men
who will visit various cities for con-
ference with local church men. AL
ready arrangements have been made
for 600 of these conferences and it is
the aim to reach as many as possible
of the cities of American of 5000 popu-
lation and over, of which there are
! 1850.
Some denominations are planning to
make specially large efforts to reach
every member in the week designated.
The Disciples of Christ will train the
members of their 1000 Brotherhoods
to do this work. The Methodists have
arranged the biggest convention of
men of that denomination ever held at
indianapolis this fall. Other churches
are taking other means of poining this
biggest cooperative church work ever
attempted.

he added that no attempt was made to
molest them.
Before reaching Ell Paso the party
was again held up, but there was little
loot to obtain and the Americans were
permitted to continue their journey.
Reports Exaggerated.
Mr. Commons says that conditions at
MADEIRA have been greatly exagger-
ated. The Americans there were not
attacked and no attempt at violence
was made against them. However,
their property was looted. He added
. in his letter that the report that the
Americans were short of food was also
untrue. az
Fifty Americans, number of them
having families, are still in MADEIRA
and intend to remain there. Mr. Com
mons, however, does not intend to re-
turn to Mexico because conditions are
so unsettled.
Among the Americans still in Ma
dera is Warren w. Grubbs, a Rich
mond young man.
