San Antonio, Tex.-In a fight be-
tween United States soldiers and
Mexican smugglers at Carrizo
Springs, Tex, one Mexican was kill
ed, six Mexicans wounded and IA cap
tured. Only one of the attacking
party was injured and only two cav
airy horses were hurt.
The soldiers came upon the Mexi-
cans shortly after daylight few miles
from Alimito Crossing, at the Rio
Grande River, and at once began
firing. An American, who is the re-
puted leader OF the MeXicans, but
whose name is unknown, replied to
the order to halt and declared that his
party would never surrender. The
soldiers were then ordered to open
fire, and at the first yolley one Mexi-
can was shot dead, two others ap-
parently mortally injured and several
received minor wounds.
The American leader, realizing that
the odds were against him, surrender
ed. Besides the leader, 13 Mexicans
were captured All of the prisoners
were taken to Windmill Ranch and a
surgeon was summoned to treat the
wounded.
The capture was made by detach-
ment of the Fourteenth United States
Cavalry, under command of Lieuten-
ant McLane.
The Mexicans had attempted to
carry large shipment of ammunition
and rifles across the border from a
point about fifty miles In the interior
of Texas. They abandoned most of
this contraband when attacked by the
sheriff's posse a few days ago. The
munitions were said to be for Con-
stitutionalists, but the latter announc-
ed they would execute the smugglers
if caught on Mexican soil.

MISS WILSON IN
PASTORAL PLAY
Presidents Youngest Daughter
Takes Star Role.
IN INTEREST OF THE BIRDS.
ness the Remarkable Production
Given In Grove OF Pine
Trees At Meriden, N. n.

Meriden, ~ H.-President Wilson
his youngest daughter, Miss Eleanor,
play the star role in a pastoral masque
symbolizing the protest Of the natural
ist against the slaughter Of birds for
millinery purposes.
With a dramatic skill which surpris-
ed her closest friends, as it was her
first attempt Miss Wilson voiced in
soft and appealing tones the spirit OF
the bird lover exhorting the hunter to
forsake his rifle.
The sharp crack of a gun followed
by the sudden fall of "Ornis, the bird
spirit" Miss Wilson's role. marked the
climax of the piece. Wounded and
sobbing. "Ornis" is consoled by the
fauns, poet, Dryad and naturalist, who
in the end dissaude the repentant
plume hunter and make of him bird
lover. The Presidents daughter spoke
her lines with careful expression and
was enthusis stically applauded.
The setting was both unique and
picturesque. Those in the audience,
composed entirely of the artists, poets,
playwrights and literary folk from
Cornish and the surrounding hills,
were costumed in various colored
gowns and coats and sat on rough
wooden benches fixed on the slope of
a hill at the foot of which was the
stage This was marked by logs, be-
hind which colored footlights threw a
shadowy light on the encircling pines.
Bird whistles and the incidental
strains of an orchestra concealed in
the trees and an occasional dance by
the players, lightened the piece, which
was written by Percy MacKaye.
AS prelude to the performance,
Miss Margaret Wilson, oldest daugh-
ter of the President, sang The Hermit
Thrush. At the conclusion of the play
Herbert Adams presented on behalf
of the artists and members of the
Meriden Bird Club, to Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson, patron of the performance, a
parchment scroll in dedication of the
Bird Sanctuary, where the play was
given.
Besides the President and Mrs. Will
son, the presidential party consisted
of Miss Jessie Wilson, second daugh-
ter, and her fiance, Francis B. Sayre,
and several house guests.
Mrs. Herbert Adams, wife OF the
artist, slipped on rough ground and
broke her left leg and dislocated an
ankle just before the performance be-
gan. She was taken to her home and
cared for by a physician.

LIFE TERM FOR
MRS. GODBEE
Convicted of Numbering Di-
vorced Husbands Wife.
SHOT HIM IN P0STOFFICE
Contended In Her Defense That the
Former Spouse Had Mistreated
Her Before and After
Divorce.

Millen, Ga.-Mrs. Edna Perkins
Godbee was found guilty of the murder
of Mrs. Florence Godbee, wife of her
divorced husband. Mercy was recon-
mended by the jury.
The verdict was returned after the
jury had been out 13 hours.
Two minutes after the jury returned
its verdict Judge Hammer sentenced
Mrs. Godbee to remain in the peni-
tentiary the rest OF her natural life. y
She stood while sentence was pro
nounced Her daughter Sarah broke
down and wept audibly, but Mrs. God
bee was as calm and stole as she had
been throughout the trial.
Mrs. Florence Boyer Godbee and
her husband. w. S. Godbee, a promi-
ninet resident of this place, were shot
to death by the convicted woman Au-
gust IS. The killing occurred at the
Millen postoffice.
The first Mrs Godbee was in the
postofiice when Judge Godbee and his
wife of few months came to get
their mail. AS they passed into the
postoffice she took revolver from a
handbag and shot Judge Godbee twice.
He fell mortally wounded. The in
furiated woman then turned her re-
volver upon Mrs Godbee and, firing
three times, fatally wounded her.
Judge Godbee died at once and his
fa tuO dove
The case has excited the keenest in
terest throughout the State. Mrs.
Godbee claimed as a defense that she
had long been mistreated by her hus-
band before and since his divorce, and
that he applied vile epithet to her as
he entered the postoffice on the fatal
morning. Her excuse for killing the
judges wife was that after she began
shooting she was so excited she did
not know what she did. The dead
woman was from Williamsport, Pa.
The defense is expected to apply for
a new trial at once, and if this is
denied, to appeal the case to the Su-
preme Court.
