FROM DUCAL HALLS
TO STOkER'S BERTH
Dartmouth College Athletef
Have Interesting Exper-
fences Abroad.

Boston, Sept. 9.-From ducal halls to
forecastie was the range of experience
travelled by two Dartmouth college
athletes, M. Arthur Meyers, of Chicago,
and George Read, Of Boston, who re-
turned from England yesterday on the
steamer Canadian. . w..
The boys worked their way to Eng
land as cattle men to take part In Eng
lish athletic games. Their prowess in
sports at Dartmouth, England, att
tracted the attention of the Earl of
Dartmouth, who, when he heard that
they were from Dartmouth college,
named for one of his ancestors, in
sisted that they should spend the
week end with him as his guests.
After leaving their titled host, how
ever, the boys had hard luck. AT
London they lost all their money and
had to pawn rings, watches and stick
pins to buy tickets to Liverpool, where
their prayers for a passage home were
answered with berths as stokers in the
engine room of the Canadian. Off
duty, they whiled away their time with
poker, using potato parings for white
chips and carrots for red" The boys
were not used to the fare Of the sea
and when their plight became known
to some college girls in the first cabin
various It'd bits were struggled down
to them. Saturday night they were
Tnable to resist the music. of the saloon
deck and were dancing with some of
their college girl friends when found
by the ships officers and ordered be-
low in the interests OF ship discipline.

PRESIDENT HUERTA
SIMPLY 'STALLING'

Washington. d. c.. Sept. 9.-Charge
O'Shaughnessy's public declaration at
the Mexico City embassy saying no
assurances had been given him that
Huerta would not be a candidate at
the coming elections and authoritative
declarations that such assurances had
been given aroused a disposition in
some quarters to question whether
Mr.. O'Shaughnessy and the state de-
partment were working in accord, but
officials denied fatty that there was
any friction. Diplomatists regard Mr..
Q'Shaughnessy's denial as being re-
quired by the politics Of the situation
in the Mexican capital and the ad-
ministration view is hat Huerta will
not be a candidate. The understand
ing is that Mexico. City authorities will
maintain to the last that the consti-
tuition alone prevents Huerta becoming
q candidate to succeed himself and
thus avoid appearances Of having &C
ceded to the American proposal.
Some advices to the Mexican gov
eminent as to the conditions under
which Washington will continue negu-
tiations with Senior Zamacona, now
enroute to the United States, are ex-
pected to go forward within the next
three days.

DOMINICAN REVOLT
BECOMING SERIOUS
Threat to lombard Port Stirs
United States Government
-Gunboat Is Enroute.

washington. ID. c., Sept. 9.--Puerto
Plata in the Dominican republic where
a revolution is In progress, is threat
ened by Dominican gunboats with great
danger to American lives and property.
Jose Esteva, American vice consul
there, so reported today. The gunboat
Des Motnes is on h way there
The Des Moines is at Guantanamo
today coaling for the run to Puerto
Plata, where she Is due tomorrow.
Puerto Plata has been in h hands OF
the Dominican rebels ever since the lat
est revolution started with the an
nouncement OF the governor that the
state had seeded from all allegiance
to the central government. The pres
emit DANCE to Americans and their
property bmes from the attempt OF
the Dominican government to force the
rebel stronghold to capitulate.
The supposed leader OF the uprising
Is Hector Velasquez, one time proyi-
sional president of the republic. Previ-
II meager advices gave no indication
that n fighting had occurred.
So far as naval authorities here are
informed the Dominican navy consists
of two or three converted yachts, armed
with six Founders and machine guns.
They could cause enormous damage to
an unfortified town like Puerto Plata,
especially since 1t is largely OF wooden
construction and might easily be set
afire.
The reason for the revolt against
President 4Bordas is understood here
to be founded pm the objections Of Gov
Cespedes, Of the province of
Puerto Plata, against the attempts Of
the general government to wrest con-
troll from the provisional officers of the
government railroad from Puerto Plata
to San Diego, which has figured fire.

Productions.

New York. Sept. e.-Chief Magis-
trate McAdoo today decided to Issue
warrants for the arrest Of leading per-

Of two plays dealing with life In the

CLAIMANT CONVINCED
THAT HE IS CHARLIE
ROSS, KIDNAPPED BOY
Cleveland Man, After Visit to
Sayreville, Sure Of His (.
T. Identity. II,
RESEMBLANCE rs STRONG


e York, Sept. 9.--On a passenger
train that left this city yesterday for
Cleveland, Ohio, was Charles Brewster
Ross, who had come east a few days
ago to see If he could identify himself
as Charlie Ross, who was kidnapped
from Germantown, Pa, on July i, 1874.
Detecttves searched far and wide for
Charles until the death Of his father,
Christian X. Ross, In 1897.
The Cleveland man says he satisfied
himself, by his trip here, that he was
the stolen boy. On the strength Of
what he learned he will make affidavit
in Cleveland as to his birth and par
entage n thus complete his quail
hcations for a license as pilot on the
great lakes, where he has been a sailor
for years. ".' %. #gE
Identification had to be made among
the claybanks OF Pegtown, a mining
settlement in the township Of Sayre-
vile, N. J., near New Brunswick. 1t
was there that Ross believes he was
hidden by his captors, who judged
rightly that detectives would never
go to the place. '.. ~
f. " Chief Is Convinced.
Pegtown remains now as secluded
as in 1874, but the diggers have died
off and the memories of the survivors OF
that period no longer. serve them as
well as might be hoped. Ross had to
rely on his childhood recollections OF
the settlement. On his arrival Monday
In ~Sayreville he met Chief OF Police
Boyler, who went with him through
the Birch Creek district to Pegtown.
They talked with various old clay
workers when they reached the. settle
ment without making much progress.
On Tuesday, when they went over
again, Ross pointed out a clay pit In
which he said he thought he had lived
with a man and woman. Settlers re-
called that the pit had once been used
as a habitation. No one could say. or
did, who had rel lived there.
Ross explained to Chief Boyler that
acquaintance with his guardians would
naturally not be admitted, for they
were criminals. When he spoke of his
memories Of the old, hard life there the
settlers warmed to him. saying he
could never have imagined such things.
They still shook their heads over
his identity, for he looks younger than
43, which would be his age If he is the
Charlie Ross who was kidnapped In
to Boyler that If he looked younger
than his age 1t. a because he had
lived a clean, healthy life, and the chief
was convinced.
Resemblance 10 Strona.
One of the things that convinces
Sayreville folk is hat Ross bears a
strong resemblance to the pictures Of
the wavy-haired boy whose photo
graphs flooded the country SO years
ago. The eyes, mouth and forehead
are strikingly alike.
He started wandering very young,
but he says that % years 6 he felt
that he wal Charlie Ross. Once he
conflded that belief to a shipmate, who
warned him to keep still, as several
persons had already been committed
to insane asylums for harhoring that
delusion.
