Chief YEGGMAN
IS IDENTIFIED AS
JNO. WILLIAMSON
WANTED FOR TRAIN ROBBERY
One Of Band Caught by Capt.,
Harley

Conductor Hollis Hurley, of Ameri-
Gus, who recently turned up four sus-
pected burglars on a Seaboard pascal
ger train few days ago, had the sat
isfaction of being informed yesterday
that one of the men, still in the Mont
gomery jail, had been positively iden-
titled as John Williamson, wanted az
one OF the gang who held up a mail
train near Birmingham two weeks ago
and robbed the mail car of a large
sum-
The man who thus processes to know
the suspected yeggman is Dr. C.P.
Martin, surgeon of the Alabama Great
Southern railway who, after looking
over the bunch spotted by Conductor
Hurley pointed out the man William.
son as the one whom he had seen Just
/ n hour before the wreck and at the
scene thereof.
Following DR.. Martins identified
tion, Chief Taylor, of the Montgomery
police, telephoned Special Agent BAH
of the Alabama Great Southern at Bir-
mingham, and requested him to send
the negro fireman of the train which
was robbed to- Montgomery, to make
sure of the Identification.
DR.. Martin informed Chief Taylor
that the yeggmen forced the negro
fireman to start the engine for then
after it was detached from the rain,
carrying only the baggage, mail and
express cars with it, and that after
starting it they made the negro jump
from the cab. He says the negro got
a good look at them and will be able
to identify Williamson.
Phillip Reilly, chief of the bureau q:
explosives of the United States and
and Canada reached Montgomery yes
terday and visited police headquarters.
He examined the explosives and de-
.clared that the men can be prosecuted
in the federal courts for carrying ex-
plosives from one state to another,
which is in violation of the federal
statutes.
Mr.. Reilly was ready yesterday d
have them carried before United States
Commissioner Elmore, to hold them on
this charge, had the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings been held and the men given
their freedom or allowed bail.
The habeas corpus proceedings,
which were instituted by attorneys
for the men, scheduled to come up
yesterday at noon before Judge Cas-
ton Gunter, were postponed until next
Tuesday at noon by consent.
Following DR.. Martins inspection OF
Williamson and while the latter was
being taken back to his cell by Detec-
tive r. S. Cloud, he attempted to grab
one of the iron weights on the scales
which were in the prison corridor n
front of his cell. but Detective Clna,d
vas too quick for him and pounced
upon him just in time to prevent the
alleged yeggman from securing the
weight.
Detective Cloud says he has no DOUBT
but that the man would have tried to
fell him with the weight and make 4

Federal Troops Are Gathering at Tani-
picO Preparatory to Attack on the
COnstitutiOnalist Forces

Washington, D. c., March 1.-TWO
more regiments of United Ctates
troops we're moving to join the Mex
ican border patrol today. Two bat
talions of the Ninth Infantry, at Fort
Thomas, KY, and Fort Logan H.
Rotts, Ark, and the Seventeenth In
fantry at Fort Mcpherson, Ga, were
loading baggage trains to proceed to
Laredo and Eagle Pass, to become a
part of the military force in Texas,
larger by 1900 men than the one
General Shafter led into Cuba.
The border patrol is being increased
at the requests of Senator Sheppard
and Representative Garner of Texas,
who explained that the Vergara Incl
dent had caused uneasiness. 1t was
pointed out that cattle are being
stolen from Texas ranches and that
inasmuch as the American banks on
the line are rlll of cash, confidence
would be restored in great meas
ure by the presence of more troops.
AT the white house. and at the war
department it was stated that such
was the only significance of the
troop movement.
At the war department it was said
the two regiments probably actually
would begin to entrain on Sunday or
Monday. 1t is expected that the Sew
enteenth will make the trip from Sa-
vannah to Galveston on one of the
army transports leaving Savannah on
Tuesday.
Conditions along the east coast of
Mexico were summarized today by
Rear Admiral Fletcher in the follow,
ing report to the navy department.:
Rear Admiral Mayo reports from
Tampico that federal troops in that
vicinity are concentrated at Tampico
and Dnoa Cecilia. No news of the
constitutionalists. No alarm at Tam

GLAWSON FOR SHERIFF

County Commissioners Howell and

The primary election for county Off
GERS yesterday resulted in the re-elec
tion of every one of the present incum.
bents, not a change in the list from
court clerk to coroner having been
made. A very good vote was polled
H. the city and county precincts alike
and the result was, in some respects,
not little surprising to the anxious
candidates, and their co-workers rs
we'll
H. E. Allen is again clerk of court
for the next term; l. B. Small, tax coll
lector; @. w. Fuller, sheriff; P. H.
Williams, treasurer; John T. Howell,
tax receiver; Arthur Rylander and T.
& Hooks, county commissioners; r. r.
Howe, surveyor; Edward jenkins, cor
oner.
AT the courthouse precinct the to-
tai vote cast was TAG. The vote in the
county precincts was not so heavy, and
will not be officially known until the
consolidation of the vote this morning.
Enough is known however, to insure
the result
The vote as announced last night was
as follows:
Americus Precinct.
For Clerk of Court-H. E. Allen (un-
opposed), TAI votes.
For Tax Collector. B. Small (un-
opposed), 744 votes.
For Sheriff-Q. w. Fuller 346; J. l..
Glawson 39S. The vote for sheriff in
the county, as given out last night
gave Fuller a plurality of 92 votes over
.Glawson. These figures are not Off
cial, but are considered as being ap-
proximately correct
For Treasurer-P. H. Williams 454;
H. D. Watts 289. Williams majority
in the county was reported, unoficially
as 81.
For Tax Receiyed-John T. Howell
482; w. C. Gray 26O. Howell's vote
in the county may increase this re-

Hooks vote was announced as $50, Ry-

tically the entire vote cast.

Schenectady, y. Y, June l3.-lhe
mutilated lower part Of the torso OF a
young woman, with stubs of legs at
tached. was found in the Mohawk River
three miles east Of Schenectady early
this afternoon by four fishermen.
The torso was wrapped compactly in
two pieces Of reddish oilcloth, such as
is used to cover kitchen tables, and
tied in a burlap sack. Attached to the
string fastening the sack were a piece
Of concrete about two-thirds of a cubic
foot in size and heavy stone. In the
sack with the torso were parts of an
outside skirt Of pink material and parts
of a white underskirt One of the
pieces of oilcloth was figured in bright
red.
The bundle was pulled to the surface
on line which had been set last
night by the fishermen about thirty
feet from shore and in about eight feet
of water. The men who found the
trunk were Max Hoffman, his son
Stephen, George Krego and Tony Lane.
They called the police, who notified
Coroner Jackson, after Policemen Kel-
efant. Friday and Bencivenga had
opened the sack and discovered its con-
tents.
Indications are that the body had
been in the water three or four weeks.
The arms, legs and head are missing,
but the police and the coroner are
dragging the river in the vicinity to-
night in the hope of finding some Of the
parts which would lead to identification
of the victim.
In the coroner's opinion the woman
was from twenty to thirty-five years
old and weighed from 125 to 14O
pounds. The trunk had been cut in
two and dismembered and the legs had
been severed half way between the
hips and the knees.
No woman in Schenectady has been
reported missing, and the police have
little to work on except the pieces Of
oilcloth and clothing. The clothing was
Of cheap material, indicating that the
girl might have been a foreigner of the
working class. 1t would have been i'm
nossible for the trunk TO have fiOated
TO the place where it was found, as it
was too heavily weighted. From this
the police draw the conclusion that it
was dropped from a motor boat, row
boat or a canal boat as it passed along
the river.

NEW N. H. RULES
PUT SAFETY FIRST
Strict Instructions for Rear
Guard of Trains Given
Flagmen.

Quietly, lest attention he called to
name Of being the most dangerous rail
road in the United States, the New
Haven has adopted and placed in effect
a new book Of rules for the operating
Of all trains that are described by rail-
road men as the most drastic Of any in
force on American railroads.
The new rules are the work of a
committee of operating officials ap-
pointed almost before the Wallingford
wreck Of September 2, 1913, in which
twenty three were killed and thirty in
jured, was cleared up and before How
ard Elliott had become fairly seated in
the chief executives chair.
That wreck was caused by failure
properly 20 protect the rear end OF the
Bar Harbor Express. a failure in turn
due TO too much confidence in the
power Of block signals TO prevent ac-
cident. Similar negligence was charged
in other wrecks
The new rules are calculated TO elm
mate this danger in the future by com
pelling all train hands to go as far
In the protection of the front or rear
Of a train as though there were no me-
chanical signal
The new rules further make for
safety by compelling the engineman
and train hands always to assume that
things may not be as they should be.
