IRATE DENVERlTES
KIDNAP PREACHER

Denver, Colo, April 7.-Physicians
attending the Rev. Otis L. Spurgeon.
of Des Moines. who was kidnapped
last night by unknown persons, taken
to a lonely point north of the city,
beaten and released, with q warning
not to return. today refused to permit
any one to visit his patient and ex-
pressed uncertainty as to the outcome
Of his injuries.
Spurgeon was brought to a local
hospital early today. After a thorough
examination, physicians reported that
in the beating administered by his
kidnapers he suffered a broken nose
and other serious injuries. Efforts to
learn the identity of Spurgeon's as
satlants had been unsuccessful up to
noon.
The kidnapping last night followed a
small riot Saturday night during a
lecture, in which Spurgeon accused
the Catholic priesthood of immortality.
Seven men are said to have visited
the hotel and ~overpowered Police Ser
geant George Merritt, who with Spur
geon was placed In a high powered
automobile. Shortly thereafter Mer-
rift was released and the kidnapers
continued their flight to a point "a
miles north of Denver. There Spur
geon was beaten and released after
being given $2.1O by his assaiiants. .
Finally he reached the house of
Deputy Sheriff George w. Rucker, of
Adams county, where he was located
by city detectives and brought to the
hospital. n

An Aneedote of Lincoln.

A day in May, 1868, found Lincoln
visiting a camp hospital. He had
spoken cheering words of sympathy to
the wounded, as he proceeded through
the various wards.
Now he is at the bedside of a Yer
mont boy of about 16 years Of age, who
lies there mortally wounded. Taking
the dying boys thin, white hands in
his own, the president said in a tender
tone: Well. my boy. what can I do
for your"
The young soldier looked up into the
presidents kindly face and asked:
Wont you write to my mother for
me?'
THAT I WILL" responded The presi-
dent, and, calling for writing materials.
he seated himself by the side Of the
cot and wrote from the boys dictation.
It was a long letter, but he betrayed
no sign Of WEAKNESS, and when 1t was
finished he arose, saying: II will post
this as soon as I get back to my office.
Now, is there anything else I can do
for your"
The boy looked up appealingly to the
president. Wont you stay with me?'
he asked. Il do want to hold on to
your hand"
Mr.. Lincoln at once perceived the
lads meaning. The appeal was TOO
strong for him to resist; so he sat
down by his side IND took hold OF his
thin hand. For two hours the presi-
len sat there patiently, as though he
had been the boys father.

The Albanians.

Albania, to which Prince William of
Wied has been called as ruler, Is
hardly even "a geographical express
sion" and 1t is Inhabited by a sadly
mixed lot of people. There are few
who accept the title Of Albanians, and
these are of the widest and least
desirable kind. The more civilized
repudiate the name of Albanians, de-
claring themselves to be Turks, or
Greeks, or Slavs. A recent writer
says: Five different ~translations Of
the scriptures were required for col
porteurs to distribute among them.
There are both Catholics and orthodox
Christians among them-the sort of
Christians who regard the c~ruciaxion
as a convenient starting point for a
blood feud, and Moslems who like to
realize the beauty of holiness by the
waging Of hold wars. In the mass theE
are a barbarous people, incapable OF
organized civilization. They are In
trepid soldiers, but good for little else.

accept any authority which imposes

SPANIARDS ORDERED OUT
OF TORREON BY REBELS

Torreon. Mex, April 7.-Gen. Fran
cisco Villa a ordered that the 600
Spaniards of this city be deported. He
issued instructions that rains be pro-
vided at once and that the exodus to
Ell Paso, Tex, should begin at once.
Their property will be c~onfiscated, tenn
porarily at least.
1t is the tragedy OF chihuahua over
again, and is said to express the deep
rooted suspicion and even hatred with
which the native Mexican, and particu-
larly the peon, looks upon the Span
lard.
Villa expelled the Dons from Chihua-
hua four months ago. and since then
has repeatedly stated that other Span
iards would better get out OF Mexico
before he caught them. His abiding
conviction that they were working as
one man against the revolution found
frequent expression while he was in
Juarez at which time he asserted he
would execute every n that he found
in TOrreon.
The order was received in tragic ST.
lence, followed by passionate outbursts
Of pleading 81 lament. All asserted
that they had remained neutral so far
as they could, but with the military
government In the hands Of the fed
erals they were compelled at times to
render such aid as was demanded-the
use OF houses II %corrals, for instance.
and the forced contribution. OF money
and food.
To have refused, they said, would
have meant death or at least imprison-
ment, but Villa is inclined to believe
that there was little reluctance in the
aid n comfort they extended to his
enemy, and he resents the fact that
they did not leave the city when he
announced it would be we'll for them to
do so.
Mexican hatred of the Spaniard Is a
tradition handed down from the days
OF the conquest.

ON NAVAL

Washington. April 7--Secretary Dam

liquors IN the navy, effective after July

val and other circles here. today. The
order, of the most sweeping ever

1t is absurd to suppose that men ever

today, by the prohibition forces, who
declare 1t will nave a great influence in

cause. E8
In "a statement Secretary Daniels
said: X
Il am in hearty agreement with the
view expressed by the surgeon general
In his paper accompanying the recon- )
mendation. There should not be on
shipboard. with reference to intoxi-
cants' rule for the officers and an
other and a different rule for the en-
listed personnel. The saddest hour in
my official life Is when an officer or
an enlisted man must be punished for
intoxication. During the last week IL
has been my painful duty to approve
a courtmartial for dismissal Of an Of
ficer for intoxication. He told me that
until he did so in the mess on one of
u cruisers. Others who have been
disciplined for drinking to excess have
made similar statements to me.
"Officers are now commissioned at
the early age Of % years Has the gov
a right to permit this temp
tation. which too often destroys the
highest usefulness Of young officers?
l think not. If there Is one profession
more han any other that calls for a
clear head and a steady hand it Is the
naval profession. Experience has shown
the wisdom of having no intoxicants
on u ships for the young men who
enlisted. ]
II believe experience has demon
strated that a uniform rule should pre-
vail in the navy for all who enlist, from
the highest rank to the youngest en-
listed man or officer who comes into
the service. and that the abolition of
the wine mess will be Justified"
When asked today to on the
order, President Wilson said It be-
longed strictly to the department. 1t
Is understood that the president was
not consulted by Mr.. Daniels before he
issued the order and no one processes
to know whether it had the presidents
