AMERICAN IS KILLED IN MEXICO
Floyd w. Chapin of Tucson Shot on
 Nogales Street.

Last Monday evening while Floyd w. Chapel of Tucson, agent for the Ford automobiles, and V. c. Condon, district agent for the Standard Oil Company, and two friends from California, Lot Barstow and E. c. Murray, were sightseeing in NOgales, Sonora, Chapel, without cause, or warning, was shot by a Mex ican soldier, and later died at the St. JoSeph's hospital in No gales, Arizona. where a short time after being shot, he under went an operation by Dr. Sneaker, one of the best sur geons in America.
 After dining at Lulley'S where they met the two gentlemen from California, the four gentle men strolled across the interna Mir. Chapel who desired to step on Mexican soil for the first time. At about seven thirty, the gentlemen, visited Chinese store, the proprietor of which was a customer of Mr. COndOn. From there they walked through the city plaza; thence south to AriZpe street, stopping to admire the handsome school house.
 Just beyond the school house, near the old Louis B. Fleischer clothing factory, now used as barracks for soldiers, MT. Con- don said he heard the voice of man cry out: ''Dejenme senoras, Get me go, women) and then all was quiet. Thinking that it was some quarrel that was no concern of the party, they kept on walking and approached the building. As the Americans, Mir. Condon and MT. Chapel arm in arm, Murray ahead and Bal stow behind, reached the first doorway, ,Condon saw a man in khaki, with two women, one on each side, cling ing to him. The man without saying a word fired point blank at the men who were only a few feet away
 <"He got me-" exclaimed Chapel, as the shot was fired, doubling up and reeling
 Condon immediately turned his wounded friend around and started to run back towards the American line, half dragging half carrying Chapel, whose life blood was streaming over Condon. Assisted by Murray and BarStow, Condon placed Chapin in a friends carriage and rushed him to the St. Joseph's hospital on the American side of the line, where short time later an operation was perform ed in the hopes of saving his life The bullet from 3O-3O rifle had entered Chapin's ab- domen on the right side and then took a turn and pierced the body, coming out on the right side, near the spinal column.
 Chapin died about three o'clock Wednesday morning.
 The body was taken to Tue son, being accompanied by the widow, who on Tuesday motor ed up from that place, being ac- companied by J. Moss Ruth rauff and Mrs. Condon. Mrs. Condon motored home with her husband The murdered man was from Lansing, Mich, where his mother lives. It is thought the body will be sent to Lansing for burial

Strengthen the National Guard

DY FAR the easiest and least objection
- able method of building up an adequate
force for national defense is to strengthen
the National Guard of the several Common
Wealths. At present New York is the only
State that has conformed TO the provisions
OF the Dick BILL and is able to put a full dIyi-
sion, completely equipped in all arms, into
the Held. Pennsylvania stands next, but has
not quite met all of the requirements. Many
states have been culpably negligent, and
their attitude is reprehensible.
or the l5647.s47 available for military
service. as reported by the Adjutant General
of the United States. only 1864 47s are now
serving in the State militia, and MANY reRt-
znents are inefficient that they would be
useless for quick service. Pennsylvania has
1912 officers and enlisted men out OF l,1s9 526

In order to bring the National Guard up 10
the standard OF efficiency there should be;
Fuller training for commissioned officers

an extension OF time for field service and an

IN armory duties. drills and arms practice.
the creation OF a militia reserve from the
men who have served their term In the

men. in improving their physique, creating
habits Of prompt obedience and in teaching
the value OF practical patriotism

Free the Roads

PHILADELPHIA is surrounded by vigilant
i sentinels in the form OF toll collectors.
They are everywhere, these leviers OF tribute
relics of a period when peculiar circum-
stances warranted private ownership OF
highways. But Pennsylvania now is the
richest State in the Union. without debt and
without any tax on real estate Long ago
private rights in highways should have been
extinguished. 1t is a question simply of
money, and certainly there is nothing for
which the Commonwealth can more properly
expend its revenue than the acquisition OF
the roadways on which people must travel.
prerequisite TO good roads would seem 10
be ownership of all roads To tear down the
tollgates and free the highways would be a
crowning glory for any administration. There
are few tasks 10 which Doctor Brumbaugk
and the new Legislature can more prontabiy
dedicate themselves.

Safeguarding the Dinner Table

A ANNOUNCEMENT comes from Harrisburg
IA that number of dealers in this city are
to be prosecuted by the State Food Commits
sioner for selling goat meat under the guise
of lamb and mutton. Doubtless goat meat Is
palatablo, as are horsefiesh and muskrat
steaks, but the purchaser should not be hood
winked by false names.
Commissioner Foust is to be commended for
keeping up an active and continuous cam
paign to protect the consumer. Sporadic
raids and occasional crusades, during which
arrests are made by scores, are not nearly
as effective as constant watchfulness and
daily activity. Exactly as the criminal ele-
ment is held in check by continuous 24-hour
policing, so, too those INSCRIPTIONS food
dealers who resort to adulteratlons and mis-
branding to defraud the public should be
kept under constant surveillance and prose-
cuted, whenever detected without fear or
favor.
The food show in the Reading Terminal
Market has shown that the people of Phila-
delphia have an ample supply OF pure meats
and vegetables. There is no room for the
dealer whose only thought is the main
chance"

OFFENsEs AGAINST OUR CITY
Shall We Have Election Frauds and Rotten
Boroughs Always With Us?
BY THOMAS RAEBURN WHITE

TT is we'll understood, 1 think, that the
i Committee of Seventy will continue and
increase it's active work in prosecuting ballot
and registration frauds. 1 fear that such
frauds are again on the increase, More sup
port should be given the committee In its
efforts to stamp them out. The work of such
n citizen body, nonpartisan in character is
absolutely necessary to keep the elections
pure: but to be successful the work must
also be supported by the citizens at large,
not only with financial support but by active
cooperation and interest in the election divi-
sons where they live In no other way can
offenders be brought to justice.
AS a striking instance of the character of
work which citizens should do 1 am tempted
to refer to the fact that few years ago Dr.
Talcott Williams came at his own expense
from North Carolina, where he had gone for
his vacation, in order to appear as a witness
before a Grand Jury which was about to con-
slider the case of Negro accused of voting
Illegally. He came not only because he felt
he should give his evidence but also because
he deemed it unfair to postpone the hearing.
as the man was confined in prison. II We
had thousand such citizens distributed over
the city there would be no election fraud
Although cannot speak for the committee
1 feel sure that at the coming Legis ature It
will centre attention again upon the neces-
sity OF enacting laws TO do away with So
called Assistance to voters" the worst form
of election crime now committed, and to
eliminate from the ballot the party square,
which might properly be called a device to
encourage lazy and ignorant voting.
The committee has also announced that it
will actively support law for the reform of
City Councils, We now have a system of
'rotten boroughs" as bad as anything of that |
kind England ever knew There is no ex-
cuHe for IL, nor for a cumbersome body of 1872 |
members TO do work which would be much |
better done by one-tenth OF that number
sven If they were selected by lot from the |
present members OF Councils. This does not
suggest commission form OF government |
nor does Il contemplate materially changing
he powers Of Councils or OF any OF the ex-
'cutive officers; II contemplates nothing more
han substituting a wel-organized body OF
size for a poorly organized body
which is numbered by it's own numbers An
,ther pI pIoYislon, however. the law should CON
ain, and that is one making It impossible
or a Councilman TO hold any other public
nice OF profit counclmen should vote as
hey think, not as they. think those who gave
hem their employment want or expect them
0 vote.
do not now think OF any other laws which
he Committee OF Seventy intends to push al
he coming session. simple program with
ut undertaking too much, seems 10 be best.

PolI of Councils Fore.hadows Yiotorr

Poll of Councils Foreshadows Victory
! COUNCILS is for the Taylor plans. That
- is the significant fact revealed by the
EVENING LBpoER poll. The obstructionists
are hopelessly in a minority. But three Of all
the Councilmen openly admit themselves to
be in opposition. There are 40 noncommittal
or doubtful, but 10 declare that they favor
real rapid transit instead of piecemeal rapid
transit; that they are for the Taylor plans,
as providing a solution OF the whole problem:
that they stand for a metropolitan Phlladel-
phia and are ready TO vote for what all men
recognize is a prerequisite to the fulhlment of
the city's destiny.
The majority for the Taylor plans II all
those who are now noncommittal go finally
into the opposition, is in Select Council; in
Common Council. IS. The margin Of victory
is ample in both chambers.
There must be no hesitation now, no time
for subterfuge or trickery to confuse the
Issue and Jeopardlze the undertaking. There
has been evidence OF such tactics already, a
bold and even defiant attempt to draw a red
herring across the trail and ruin the whole
transit program by playing one section
against another and introducing elements of,
discord that should be carefully avoided.
II is up to the people even before 1t is UP |
to Councils. They must make the demon
stration of January IA SO significant that It
will carry with 1t the weight Of q formal edlct
from the electorate. 1t must be the unmis-
taxable answer of Philadelphians to the few
pygmies who stand on the track waving their
red flags. The very magnitude OF the out
pouring in January should effectively silence
and terminate all opposition TO comprehen-
sive transit plan.
The course of action has been marked out
and is clear as the broad highway. Let
Councils formally approve the plans and order
an election whereby the people may authorize
The necessary loans to begin work. Consld-
'ration and approval thereafter by the Pub
ic Service Commission will complete the
equisite legal formalities and the contracts
an be let.
There need be no hesitation on account Of
he Union Traction Company. The new sys-
EN- will be built whether It decides to par
icipate or not. There will be no trouble find
ng an operator when there is something to
perate.

ASKS EXEMPTIONS
TO TRUST. MEASURE

Washington, March 21.-President
Wilson, within a few days, will have
conference with Senator Hughes
and members of the House who are
urging a provision in the antitrust
bills that would exempt labor unions
and cooperative farmers organiza-
tions from prosecution under the trust
laws.
This subject has not been taken
up by the president in any of his
conferences on the trust program, it
was stated today. 1t is also said that
the president has not changed his
views since he signed the sundry civil
bill and declared at that time that
if he could have separated from that
measure the provision prohibiting
the use of any of the funds in prose
cutting labor organizations and farm
ers' cooperative organizations, he
would have done so. At that time
the president stated that the provision
placed restriction upon an appropri-
alton that was "unjustifiable in char
acter and principle"

AUTO ACCIDENT
IMPERIAL AVENUE:
FOU r INJURED

Frank Clark and B. H. Lewis, to-
gether with Myrtle Nicholson and
Margaret Garrick, while coming from
Imperial to FL Centre Friday even
ing in an automobile driven by Clark,
narrowly averted a terrible accident
about one-half mile south of Impe-
rial when their car ran into the If
rigation ditch, seriously injuring
Lewis, who gave his residence as Los
Angeles.
Their injuries were attended to by
DR.. Stanley of Imperial, when it was
discovered that they had all sustained
numerous bruises, but that no bones
were broken. This was the scene
of recent wreck, when a large stage
car toppled over on another machine,
seriously injuring a woman passenger.
Motor Policemen Owen Chick and
William Stancel were both on the I'm
perial highway last night and claim
that the accident was entirely due to
the carelessness of the driver.
