 Children Are Taken.

Mayvills, N. r., Jan. 19 - Sheriff Anderson failed today in two attempts 10 break the seven day siege of the Beardsley farm at Summerdale and place Edward Beardsley behind the bars of Mayville jail. In the first he used two out of town detectives, posing as photographers, to get close enough to Beardsley to Sgrapple with him and make him prisoner. Beardsley posed for a picture at the window, but never relfnQuished his vigil, and the detec- lives failed to get close enough to carry out their plan.
 Late this afternoon a second attempt was made. Fred Beardsley, a cousin of the besieged and Axel Olsen of Jamestown, friend, called upon Lu- ther $. Lukin, county clerk of Chau- tandua county, and asked him to ac- company them to the Beardsley shack. They said Sheriff Anderson had given his consent te the trip. The sheriff thought that with MT, Lukin present Beardsley might be induced to give up
 Beardsley received them at the win dow and talked freely but hs stuck te his determination not to surrender just yet.
 T will surrender on Wednesday. when the mother-in-law takes the kids,' he said. "Then I am going to jail with Attorney Pickard. If there's any monkey business from the sheriff and his gang then there's going to be trouble'

Cole is Elected
 by Ten Votes
MIDDLEToWk CHOOSES A RE-
 PUBLICAN FOR MAYOR,
FISHER CLOSE SECOND
Friends of the Professor to Ask for a Recount-Fight May Be Made Over 34 Rejected BalIots-Fisher III.

Middletown, Conn, Jan. Is@The marrow margin of ten votes, out of 1,SO6 cast, decided Middletewn's three cornered mayoralty fight today, when Frank A. Coles, republican. was chosen mayor, defeating his nearest opponent, ex-Mayor Willard c. Fisher. formerly a Wesleyan professor and now a lec- turer at Harvard, by a vote or 69e to 6s9- Dr. James A. Lawton, the dem ocratlc candidate, who defeated Pro- lessor Fisher at the caucus, was third in the race, with AIS votes.
 Recount to Be Demanded.
 The republicans elected five mem and the democrats four With hold overs, this gives the republicans com plete control of the city government twelve to four.
 Former Democratic Alderman James F. Connery, who was chairman of the citizens ticket, which Professor Fish CT headed. declared tonight that the citizens party would demand a recount of the votes. Shortly after the result was officially announced the retiring mayor, John L. Fisk, democrat. admin istered the oath of office to MT. Coles
 Feeling Ran High.
 Of all the stormy elections and po- itical disturbances that this city has encountered, today's election. probably
 
 was not as bitter as in some elections as far as ''mud-slinging' was con- cerned-the feeling ran high and in tense interest was aroused.
 Professor Fisher has twice been mayor of the city and was once before defeated for the office, the votes in each instance being extremely close. He was defeated for the democratic nomination this year by less than twenty votes and then he decided to head the citizens ticket. The repub- icans had red hot caucus fight also, MT. Coles winning by Is votes.
 34 Ballots Rejected.
 The appearance of prominent state labor leaders here in behalf of Pro- lessor Fisher, injected interest in the fight, as well as an unsuccessful at tempt to secure the invalidation of the citizens ticket
 The polls were closed at two o'clock today, as custon2ary, but it was well along after six before the result was unofffcially known, so close was the vote- Thirty-four ballots were re- jected by the moderator and the cit izens' party claims that these would have elected Professor Fisher.
 Prof. Fisher Taken III.
 To add to the excitement. Professor Fisher was stricken suddenly i'll dur ing the day and was removed to his home. It was at first feared that he was threatened with pneumonia, but his physician said tonight that he is suffering only from a severe attack a few days rest Professor Fisher learned the result of the election on his sick bed. but had no comment to offer

 Strikers Representative.

Binghamtons N. Y. Jan. 19-Edward G. Hornshu, publicity chairman of the Delaware and Hudson railway strikers, in a statement to the public, says:
 Tt was the intention of the company that the men should disregard train orders governing speed restrictions, be- ing expected to make ten miles an hour when the order read five miles The object was to shifs responsibility from the shoulders of the officials to the men We are sure the public will agree with us that such practice is damnable. With considerable reluct- ance, because we feel it is degrading to make even reference to a condition, we submit that it is not to the best interests of the road neither is it to the best interests of the employees, to have the employees called into the of flee of a certain one of the officers of the company, there to be damned and cussed and to be intimidated by the boastful arrogance of that certain of ficial, who is proud of his assertion that he is numbered among the opera lives of detective system, and who failed to deny the accusation when we called your attention to the fact that we have been informed he occasionally has a gun in evidence for the seeming benefit of his employees when they are called into his office for an inves6ga- ton, evidently for the purpose of maintaining the semblance of his au- thority. Surely the public will recog- nize, and we think you should the effect of such tactics on men when they are in the performance of their duty, and its possible after-conse- uuences to the public when their safe ty and lives are placed in the hands of men who are confronted with con dftions such as these"

For Money to
 Feed Mexicans
WAR DEPARTMENT TO APPEAL
 TO CONGRESS.
TO COST $25O0 A DAY
United States Has Already Expended $15o,ooo in This Way-Huerta Gov ernment Ceased to Reimburse Us.

washington Jan. 19.-The kindly treatment accorded the Mexican fed era1 refugees from Ojinaga py the American government has excited deep gratitude among the people of Mon terey and vicinity and has done much to encourage the belief that the United States is really friendly to the Mexican people, according to a report to the state department today from Consul Hanna
 Care of the uninvited guests is prov ing costly and today the officials of the state and war departments were casting about for means to defray the expenses of maintaining these thou sands of strangers. Even before the evacuation of OJinaga the United states government had expended about SloO,00O for the keep of Mexicans un- der detention and with the Ojinaga fugitives added the daily bill will amount to some $25,000. For a time the Huerta government regularly re- mltted the money to pay for feeding the refugees tnterned at Fort Rose crans and Brownsville, but the pay ments stopped some time ago because of the exhausted condition of the Mex ican treasury.
 Congress to Be Asked for Money.
 Congress will be asked to give the war department an indefinite credit to meet this expense, although the de- partment officials realize this may pre- clpitate an undesirable congressional discussion of the whole Mexican prob lem. Ultimately Mexico will be ex- pected to reimburse the United States in full for all amounts spent in this way.
 Early Siege Expected at Torreon.
 Todays report to the state depart ment sid that the appearance of many constitutionalists in the neighborhood of Torreon has led the American con sular officers at that place to appre- hend an early siege at the hands of Villas victorious army.
