BANDIT INvADEs U. s.

Ell n so, Texas, May 15.-Roderigo
Quevedo, the Mexican bandit chieftain
who, angered because American ranch
men complaints led General Villa to
order his capture, threatened to kill
three Americans for every one of his
men the constitutionalists killed, was
here for several hours yesterday, it was
learned today.
He made no attempt to concealment
and bought a suit of clothes and a
quantity of ammunition. The fact that
he had visited Ell Paso became known
through the arrest of Captain Rambeo
one of his followers, who had accom-
panied him. In the meantime QuevedO
got safe'y away.
All the time be was here, United
States and constitutionalist troops were
seeking him on both sides of the Rio
Grande.

"a. B. C." MEDIATORS
PAY FORMAL GOODBYE
Admiral Badger Sends Report Perfect
Order Said to Exist at rampico-
Barracks Blown Up.

Washington, May 15.-The navy de-
partment had the following report to-
day from Admiral Badger concerning
the events Immediately following the
rebel capture of Tampico:
"This morning Admiral Mayo sent
Officers, accompanied by the United
States consul, to visit the constitution
slist General Gonzales and Caballero
and to notify them of his hopes that
onstitutionalist control of the city and
the district would insure perfect order
and an immediate resumption of busi-
ness.
Believing the American warships
had taken charge of the Mexican gun.
boats in the Panuco river, Gonzales in
formed the consul that he had prepared
letter of protest against such vio-
lation of Mexican territory and had
demanded that the gunboats be turned
over to him. When informed that we
had not interfered with the gunboats
he said it would be unnecessary to send
the letter.
Previous statements that the con-
stitutionalists would respect and protect
the lives and property Of Americans
and other foreigners were renewed.
"Ijerfeet order is said to exist in the
city. The liquor shops are closed and
the city is well policed.
" After the retreating federals had
crossed the Tamesi bridge the gunboat
Vera Cruz partially destroyed it. The
gunboat then went up the river and is
said to have been beached and aban-
doned at Tamos.
1.-THE Tampico barracks were blown
up before the evacuation. They burned
'ast night. Damage to other buildings
was slight.
THE constitutionalist field guns
were of comparatively little value. They
evidently had few, but none was
used against the federal gunboats.
"The federals' evacuation of the city
resulted principally from a shortage of
ammunition. The gunboat still had
ammunition left.
Several tank steamships have come
up the river.
"Admiral Mayo considers that Amer.
leans should be slow in returning until
the whole Mexican question is settled
Gonzales expressed regret that the
Vera Cruz incident had occurred and
hoped 1t would be settled with honol
tc - country"
The ga. B. O." mediators paid .
formal farewell visit to the White
Ponse TODAY, preparatory to leaving fol
Niagara Falls. The occasion being an
official one, President Wilson was at
tended by his full staff of military and
naval aides, in dress uniform.
The merits Of the American. Mexican
controversy were not discussed.
Information in the navy department 's
hands indicated that the number Of
killed in the Tampico fighting was
about 300.

TWO MASKED IN
HOLD UP C. n. TRAIN

Great Falls, Mont, May 1.-two
masked bandits early today held up
the Oriental Limited train of the Great
Northern railroad near Rexford, Mont,
detached the combination mail and
baggage car, ran it four miles down the
track and dynamited it. Thoy secured
little or nothing of value, as the reg
istered pouches had been sent west on
an earlier train.
The bighwaymen tagged the train.
As it slowed down, the crew of the
car locke dthe doors, leaped to tho
ground and secreted themselves in q
thicket alongside the track.
After compelling the engineer to
pull the car down the track, the high
waymen, thinking it occupied, fired a
number of shots into it. Receiving no
response, they then used a heavy
charge of dynamite to force it open.

MYSTERY IS CLOSED
BY FEDERAL SEIZURE
Counterfeiting Plant Captured In Seat
tie as Result of An Attempt to Evade
Arrest.

Seattle, May 15.-With the seizure
here yesterday of a counterfeiting
plant valued at several thousand dollars,
there is brought to a close, it is thought,
a mystery that has baffled the officials
of Washington and British Columbia
and United States secret service men,
and even stirred the Canadian author
tiles at Ottawa The seizure was made
by j. F. Slater, federal operative.
Statter has been working on the case
for several months, but gained his first
real clue from business card found
in pocket of Frank G. Bright, alias
Frank Berger, wounded by a policeman
here on April 30 while attempting to
evade arrest for trying to pass $5
counterfeit Canadian bill
The card led to the location of the
plant stored in a room on Railroad
avenue, which Slater estimates is
worth between $4,000 and $4,000, and
that he gang has passed bogus money
amounting to $4,000 during the months
they have been operating.
Statter thinks there are five men in
the gang and that they are all
foreigners.
Counterfeit bills have been passed
in Puget Sound and British Columbia
cities since last November and even a
Seattle bank accepted three counterfeit
500 bills.

TEXAS SOCIALIST REPENTs.


From Texas comes the news that
Wilford b. Smith, popularity known as
"Pitchfork," for number of years
one of the most prominent Socialists
in the Lone Star state, has renounced
the party Of Debs and has aligned him.
self with the Democrats. Mr.. Smith
makes this announcement in the last
issue Of his magazine on the front
page Of which he gives the following
definition:
"A Socialist is an earnest. sincere
gentleman who would like to see the
great industries managed as the La.
dies Aid society would manage a
strawberry lawn social"
In statement setting forth the rea-
sons for his change OF faith, Mr.. Smith
says in part:
-Four years ago. after a great deal
Of patient study and consideration,

fork that was Socialist | had read
numerous books, pamphlets, tracts
and leaflets on the subject of Social
ism and was convinced that it was en-
tirely correct from philosophical
standpoint and right from an ethical
standpoint. | did not accept Socialism
as medium for expressing blind,
passionate protest against the existing
order of things (as great percentage
of it's party members have done) but

on the subject. When announced
