MExICANS CROSS BORDER
Refugees Seek Food and Shelter From
American NeiQhbors

American Neighbors
Presidio, Tex, Jan. 11.-Twenty-
eight hundred Mexican soldiers, six
generals, 100000 rounds of ammuni-
tion, two cannons, four large field
pieces and 1,500 civilian refugees were
in the custody of the United States
army border patrol today as the result
of the federal army's evacuation of
Ojinaga, Mex, its fight to American
territory, and the occupation of the
Mexican village by General Francisco
Villas rebels last night.
The distress of the refugees is ap-
palling. They have scant food and no
shelter. Men, women, children, dogs
and chickens and cattle are packed
together in a space covering several
acres. About them are scattered all
the wreck and turmoil which they
brought in fleeing from the Ojinaga
battle.
From a military view the situation
was regarded as being without prece-
dent, since in time of peace the Unit
ed States army has never had to sur
round, disarm, hold in custody and
care for so large body of aliens.
Less than 500 cavalrymen handled
the panic-stricken mob of almost 10
times their number. Although many
of the federal soldiers had loaded
their rifles and ammunition, the round
ing up and disarming was done with
out any untoward incident.

Furniture Dealers Complain

Milwaukee, Jan. 9.-Merchants in
this city who make a business of fur
nishing houses for newly married cou-
pies today estimate that the dearth
of marriages resulting from the new
Wisconsin eugenics law is costing
them nearly $4,000 day. Only five
marriage licenses have been issued
in this city since the new law went
into effect on January l. Previous
to that time the county clerk issued
on an average of Is to 80 licenses a
day. Dealers estimate that each new
ly married couple invests $500 in fur
niture, groceries, fuel and rentals.

Radium Cure for Cancer

London, Jan. 8.-Great progress in
the cure of cancer by radium is re-
ported at the Middlesex hospital, Lon
don, under the direction of DR.. Laz-
arus Barlow. Only inoperatable cases
are admitted, and while from June to
September, 1912, the mortality rate
was 100 per cent, in the same period
of 1913, out of 6S cases admitted, 36
died and 30 were discharged. Most of
the discharged patients apparently
are well, and there have been only
one or more cases of recurrence re-

CONGRESS WILL Be BUSY

Anti rust Legislation is important
Feature Of Program
Washington, Jan. 9.-With the end of
the Christmas recess but two days
away, senators and representatives
who went home for the holidays are
arriving in Washington today by al
most every train.
When the two houses reassemble
Monday, they will get down to bust.
ness Immediately, for many important
matters are to be considered and act
ed upon by the lawmakers in the COM
paratively brief period remaining be.
fore constitutional limitations bring
the congressional session to an end.
Most important of all, however, is
a proposed amendment to the anti
trust law. Unless his present plans
are changed, President Wilson will
waste little time after congress re-
assemblies in laying before the law
makers his very definite ideas on the
trust question. Precisely what rec
concentrations for further trust legis-
lation President Wilson may make
are not yet matters of public know
ledge.
1t is we'll understood, also, that At
torney General McReynolds has both
convictions and definite ideas upon
what he consideres is necessary and
desirable in the way of further legis.
lation to curb the big combines. 1t is
therefore reasonable to expect that
the presidents special message on
the subject will contain strong and
clear statement of the plans of the
administration.

Visions of the city series between the Giants and. the Yankees that have been hoat1ns over the Polo Grounds for some time became more pro nounced than ever yesterday, and even the loyal followers Of the cham pions are now ready to admit that only a miracle can save the National league title for the NGcGrawites.

Denver, Sept. 2S-Chick Fraser, the scout for the Pittsburg Pirates and confidential man of Barney Drey- fuss. is in Denver, trying to get Jack 'CoEey. manager and skSrtstop of the Denver Western tearn,4 to sign his name to a contract to play with Pitts burg. next year. Coffey was drafted by Pittsburg, two weeks ago, but he still is a long way from being the suc- cessor of Hans Wagner, because he is baking at going to the big league.
 Coffey, a month before he was drafted had signed a contract to manage the; e;Denver team another year at an increase in salary, and he an nounced when he received word, of Pittsburg's action that if he were compelled to go East he would ask for material increase in pay. It is un- derstood that Fraser is here to ar range terms with Coffey, believing he would be. the man to succeed the great Wagner.

Should the Brewery boy defeat McATahon he will come near to a match with Ki1bane. The reported defeat of Harry Stone. the New York lightweight and. wei terweight, by Phil Bloom. of the game place and also a. lightweight, is rath- CT surprising in view of the fact that Stone had claimed the velterv7eieht title and wanted to! fight Ritchie for the American lightweight champion ship The New York papers diG1efsd on the report, some giving Stone a good draw and others not hesitating to give Bloom the decision. It will be @ setback for the boy who made such fine showing in Australia and will compel him to start over again J for the championship rung of the lad der Tt also speaks we'll for Bloom, for it takes a mighty eleven lad to defeat a clever one like Stone

GREEK HERCULES
 ON PENN SQUAD


 The coaches of the University gof Pennsylvania football team are trying an interesting experiment this year with Mike Dorizas, Q Greek student who has broken all the university s records for strength. but has no foot ball experience Out of the crude ma teriaI which Dorizas represents the coaches hope to make a real football machine. Football experts are watch ing the experiment. with great interest, as it will go a long way toward prov ing or disprovtng the saying that, given the requisite strength and stam-- ina, football player can be made"
 Dorizas is a giant in stature, and the feats Of strength which he has performed in the college gymnasium are worthy of a professional strong man.
 In the preliminary practice so far Dorizas has made a creddtabIe show ing and Gas tossed come of the 200 pound line candidates around / like feathers. He has not yet got a real try-out, however, and it is still a problem how he will act in a real scrimmage. If he can be taught even the rudiments of the game, the Penn coaches figure that he will make good.

 That a wealthy man is, seeking to purchase the Bridgeport baseball franchise is the statement made by Secretary Reddy. This bidder. whose name is not mentioned, has secured a three weeks option on the club His offer was better than the other re- gently received but there is only one thing ha1ting progress of the transac- ton. The bidder is not a baseball man and he wants an active player or a retired veteran associated with him. If he does not find such a man he may not complete the deal.
