plained to the court. and then he told how the physician lost $10,000 and he lost $10,000 and Mckee had it all. Tn answer to a question from the judge as to whether he had intended to vic timize the physician, Big Lem" said:
 Sure; I intended to take the mans money. You see, the men in the bus- ness I follow don't call it a crime to trim an easy mark. He was out to trim me if he could. and he was well come to do it if he could. Instead I trimmed him and trimmed him good"
 In 1910 Strosnider was arrested in connection with the theft of S1SO. 1000 from the National City Bank of Cam bridge, Mass. The money was em-
 bezzled by young bank clerk named George W. Coleman who is now in prison. Coleman told on the stand how he had lost nearly all Of the stolen money in fake faro games in New
 York. Strosnider was charged with be-
 ing an accessary before the fact of the
 larcenies committed by Coleman. He furnished cash bail to the amount of
 S1O,0O0 and so far as is known no fur ther proceedings were taken in the matter
 About year ago Strosnider again came into the limelight by working the
 Wire-tapping sWindle in Providence, R. His victim was Samuel Butter, a
 junk dealer of RoXbury, Mass, whom
 he decoyed to Providence by stating that he had lot of wire to sell When
 Butter returned home he was minus $7,500 which he had lost in a fake pool room.
 The offense for which Big Lem" is now under conviction here was the
 swindling of Dr. William T. Kirby out of $20,000 by the wire tapping game.
 Dr. Kirby conducted a small private bank which failed some time ago Ar ter the failure Dr. Kirby and his wife were arrested on @ charge of holding out" $20,000 of the funds of the bank. 1 Dr. Kirby declared in court that he l had lost the money to wire tappers '' The story he told of how he had been fleeced seemed so absurd and incred : ible that Judge Landis. who was trying the case, practically accused the banker and his lawyers of framing up the story in order to defraud the deposi- tors But the police investigation dis closed the fact that pr. Kirby in reality had fallen victim to the smooth MT. Strosnider- Some time later Big Lem was arrested in Montreal. After hard fight against extradition he was re- turned to Chicago, tried and convicted.

 FOR FEDERALS
 AT QUAY MAS
Thousand Men Arrive from the South to Help Ojeda at Gulf Port-May Fight No More Near the West Coast City
ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH

MORALES, July 14-Insurgent in vestment of Guaymas received an other disappointment today. The fed erals defending the gulf port received achievements to the number of at least one thousand. They came from the south. probably by boat. This was admitted by state officials.
 The attack has been delayed until more heavy artillery can be secured to offset the effect of the two federal gunboats in Guaymas harbor Also there is a hope that Didier Massons $ aeroplane can be employed to advan tage in dropping bombs over the town and boats.
 Reports from the eastern border of the visit of Juan Dozal, General Villas chief of staff at Nogales, can not be verified. The state officials visit The Chihauhua rebels at any rate will probably not secure artillery from Sonora to employ in the planned at tack on Jaurez. All available forces are being used to press the Guaymas attack.
 Another version as to the cause of the delayed Guaymas attack was given by Joe Pollen, who arrived to- day from the front He said that through Admiral CoWles on board the United States Cruiser Pittsburg, Gen. Ojeda and General Obregon agreed to finish their fighting outside of the town.
 Obregon's insurgent army Pollen reported. has withdrawn to the north but until his departure Ojeda's fed erals had not advanced The insur- gents are said to have abandoned all positions near the city.
 Admiral Cowles is reported to have withdrawn sailors from the Island in Guaymas Harbor after supplying the refugees with nine thousand gallons of water daily.

By Mutual Exhaustion,

LONDON, July 14-That the Balkan struggle will end by the process of mu- tual exhaustion seems to be the only hope Sir Edward Grey, the British for eign secretary is able to hold out. In statement to the house of commons tonight he said mere words are not likely to affect the situation and it will be most difficult for the European pow CTS to resort to force to impose peace.
 Neither Servia nor Greece has paid attention to Russia's proposal that they cease hostilities. They appear determ- ined to negotiate peace with Bulgaria on the field and without intervention by a third party unless Bulgaria proves amendable to the expected advance that will be made upon Sofia to en- force the acceptance of the Servo Greek terms.
 Serious fighting for a time is being suspended but the advance of the Turkish and Roumanian troops con- tinueS without opposition. A Belgrade report says the Servians on Sunday captured an important position eight miles west of Kustendil. According to

ASSOCIATED PRESS DISPATCH
 LOS ANGELES, July 14.-The re- spOnsiblity for the wreck at Vineyard station last night when two Pacific Electric trains collded lies, according to road officials, between Conductor Emil BarthOlomai and Motorman JO- seph Forester. The conductor in sists that he waved his red lantern in the path of Forrester's train in ample time TOT the motorman to stop. Forester was found today at his home only slightly injured and he de- clared he did not see the lantern until within 800 feet of the standing train. This distance he asserted was too short, as the brakes failed to stop his train. The officials of the road insisted today that the distance is not too short.
 Forresters train weighed about 255,00O pounds including the passen- gers packed in the seats and aisles. Before the state railway commission today the officials of the road stopped train of cars Of the same type weighing thirty-five tons each within less than 800 feet. Forrester's train was of three cars only as was the train into which it ran.
 Thus the blame lies between the motorman, the conductor and the brakes.
 The coroner's jury was empanelled today but the inquest will not be held until tomorrow afternoon.
 In the meantime the death list grows Tonight is stood at four teen through the death in a hospital of Sidney Johnston, of Youngstown. Ohio, and the identification of Carl Murray. Of Los Angeles.

 CHICAGO, IL, July 14-John H. StrOsnider, known as the king of con men" is under conviction in Chicago, and the police of many large cities of the United States and Canada are hopeful that he will soon be behind prison bars StrOsnider has been ar rested times without number and has been convicted on more than one Oc casiOn. But, with the exception of a short sentence in a New Jersey prison, he has never served time so far as is known. To avoid wearing stripes he has been known to forfeit cash bail of $25,OOO
 Strosnider, or Big Lem as he is familiarIy known to the police, is one of the top notch" confidence men of America, and he has seldom made pre- tensions of being anything else The only defence he has ever made is that he never swindled a man who was not
 trying to sWindle him or some one else
 His home is in the east, though his operations have extended to nearly all
 parts of the United States and Canada
 With his wife and a valet he lived until
 quite recently in a beautiful home in
 F'Iatbush, L. l., and by his aristocratic neiShbOrS was supposed to be a wealthy broker.
 Big Lem has always played for
 high stakes. His speciality has been the so-called wire tapping game. In 1905 he was arrested in the home of d wealthy physician residing on River side Drive, in New York city, on a charge of swindling the physician out of $12,500 in a fake gambling game. The charge was never pressed. but Mrs. Strosnider gave deed for some prop erty which she later made an unsuc- cessful attempt to recover.
 In court Strosnider told with much self-satisfaction how he had trimmed" the physician. He said he had first met the latter in Paris. After return ing to New York he introduced the 1 physician to a man named Mckee, who was represented as being sore at the gambling syndicate and as one who would deal faro so the players could 1 a gambling house in Thirty-f first street ] New York city, for $250 for the night and hired twenty men to stand around as players. As Strosnider and the phy- sician were going into the house they were warned by a policeman that it was gambling house.
