MEXICAN REBELS TAKE juAREz
VILLA CAPTURES GARRISON AND
EXECUTES FEDERAL OFFICERS
Taking of the City Presages Constltu'
tionaIst Control of Northern Mex
leo and Means chihuahua's Fall.

Ell Paso. TeX-Ciudad Juarez was
captured in a bromide battle at an
early hour Saturday morning by the
revolutionary forces of Pancho Villa.
Villa was accompanied by Generals
MacLoyio Herrera and Cortega and
| their forces.
The capture was remarkable IN
Mexican military annals for its dis
patch and for the fact that it was not
preceded by any buster or other pub
licity. The revolutionary forces num-
bered about 1000, while the federal
forces of the garrison were approx
mately one-fourth that number. The
loss of life amounted to about one
hundred, twenty-five OF whom were
rebels and the others federals.
AS a result of the capture of Juarez
revoIutionists have taken about one
hundred and twenty-five prisoners,
5000 rounds of ammunition, two field
pieces and two machine guns, besides
a great many small arms and supplies.
The biggest item in the list OF spoils,
however. is the port of Juarez and the
strategic advantages that go with it.
The reVolutionists arrived in Juarez
about 2 o'clock Saturday morning ON
freight train that had been captured
| near Chihuahua the day before. There
had been no Geographic communica-
ton for several days along the line
of the railway between Juarez and
| Chihuahua and the federals at Juarez
were under the impression that the
rebel army was still besieging Chlhua-
hua. That was what the rebel leader
desired them to think.
Two thousand men detrained noise
lessly at the edge of the city and made
their way quietly in the bright moon
light into the very center OF Juarez
before their presence was even sus-
pected. The federal garrison made
but little resistance. The battle be-
gan at 8 O'clock and the military post
/
was taken at 4. Desultory firing con-
tinued until about 7 o'clock, when the
last federals were routed from stand
| they had taken smear the edge of the
city.
This is the sixth time Juarez has
been taken by an opposing faction
during the three years of recent mill
tary disturbances in Mexico. But it is
the only time it has fallen without
previous notice, and the moving pic
ture people had no chance at this bat
tie. Ell Paso citizens who heard the
cannonading and the machine guns
rushed to the vicinity of the border to
the number of several hundred. They
were in very slight danger from the
firing, however, owing to the fact
that General Villa had given orders
that no artillery be used and that
rifle fire be not directed toward the
American side. The, Mexicans have
learned the lesson that they must not
shoot into AmeSican territory during
battles near the border. A few shots
entered Ell Paso, but no casualties
resulted during the battle.

my income for nearly twenty years

from lectures, and since both writing

not augment my income from them.

aries of cabinet officers, neither would
advocate an increase, although the
position of secretary of state carries

other position in the cabinet, because
of it's relation to the outside world,
and my acceptance of hospitality
throughout the country and through
out the world has increased the
amount of entertaining expected of

VOWED TO KILL WIFE
EVELYN THAW SAYS HARRY
PROMISED DEATH TO HER.
Actress Is in Terror of Her Life, Be-
iieving Whites Murderer Will
Fulfil Threat.

New York, Aug. 18.-Under the pro-
lection Of the police and private de-
tective, the latter hired by Arthur
Hammerstein, Evelyn NeSbit Thaw
went to and from the Victoria theater
on business connected with her vaude-
vile engagement there, in mortal fear
of her life. For with her husband,
Harry K. Thaw, roaming at large, the
beautiful young woman, who is now
doing a dance with Jack Clifford at
Hammerstein's and over whom the ia
nous Madison Square garden tragedy
occurred, believes that her life is in
danger.
For the first time Evelyn Thaw told
of the last words between herself and
her husband
Il will have to finish you to COM
plete my job" the words which froze
the blood Of the young wife when,
with an almost maniacal smile, Thaw
addressed her for the last time just
as she had concluded testifying for
him during the White Plains examina-
ton into his sanity now more than
two years ago.
"And what's more, he meant it. /
know that look in his face. l know
how remorseless he Is in what he de-
termines to do" said the young wom-
an. 81 knew 1t only last summer
when, at the hearing, again at White
Plains and behind the big palmleaf
fan which he used all during the hear
ing he made ugly faces and stared and
glared sullenly at me at frequent In
tervals while the hearing was proceed
ing.
Harry can do me no harm, unless
it does harm to my little boy" said
Evelyn. THAT boy is my all-my pres
ent, future, my everything"
"By the way, Mrs. Thaw," was
asked, did Harry know when the
little one was bornw
mo. / purposely kept it from him,
and Russell was year old before the
story of his birth appeared in the pa
pers. Only few close friends knew
and they were pledged to secrecy.
What have to say regarding the birth
and paternity Of my little boy will all
come out in good time. l do not
want to go into that now. l can prove
all l have to say about our boy, but
there is no reason for doing so now.
Later the world will know all of the
facts"

fuu speed and dashed away. Before
a half mile had been covered by the
taxicab it overlook a six-cylinder
touring car that had been moving
slowly, also toward the Connecticut
line The taxicab slackened speed
and Thaw leaped out as the smaller
machine drew alongside the touring
car. The door Of the latter was open
and Thaw leaped aboard. AS the
door slammed. the touring car speed
ed away at a rate of at least eighty
miles an hour. The machine dashed
through Stormville, N. Y, fourteen
miles from the asylum, without any
diminution of speed and, according to
late reports, received by the asylum
authorities, crossed the Connecticut
line in the vicinity of New Canaan,
Conn.
Conspiracy Is Suspected.
Dr. Raymond Charles Francis Kieb,
superintendent of Matteawan, be-
lieves that Thaw's escape was the
result of a carefully planned and well
executed conspiracy. He received in
formation few Aqurs after Thaw's
escape that led aim to believe, he
said, that the fugitive had been car
rfed to Connecticut seaport town,
where a yacht had been waiting off
shore to take him aboard.
The superintendent ordered the ar
