ARRESTED ON SUSPICION
OF PURL0|N|NG BRASS
Two Martinsburg Youths Held on
Serious Charge-Had Bag of
Precious Metal.

Clarence Shipper and Lawrence
Shipper, two Martinsburg boys, were
arrested Wednesday on a warrant
sworn out before Squire H. S. Thomp-
son by Constable Wild.
Mr. Wild acted on information fur
nished by parties at Cumbo to the ef-
feet that the boys were seen with a
sack of metal (brass) and acted in
such a manner as to create suspicion
The constable soon located the boys
on the outskirts Of town and made
the arrest, finding in their posses
sion considerable brass, supposed to
have been taken from either traction
or dinkcy engines. Acting on the lat
ter theory, party came here from
Cumbo but failed to identify the
brass as having been taken from rail-
road property there.
The boys claim to have purchased
the brass, but have not made definite
or satisfactory statements as to where
or from whom they got it, and are be.
ing held for further Investigation OF
the matter.

Last Peaceful Measure.


That President Wilson was spurred
to this course by a fear that the
Huerta government might procure
money abroad if not hastened to it's
downfall was the report here yester-
day President Wilson has been most
reluctant to aid in the induction of
any more munitions OF war into Mex
lco and the raising Of the embargo
Is thought to be almost the last peace
iuI measure to which he will resort
in his effort to aid in the setting up
OF an orderly government in Mexico.
The proclamation as we'll as the
statement which accompanied it, de-
clares that the order prohibiting the
shipment of arms from the United
States into Mexico was based upon a
condition which does not now exist
Whether this last unfriendIy act Of
President Wilson's will be met with
rcprisals on the part OF HMerta is a
matter OF uncomfortable conjecture
on the part OF those who best know
the situation in the City Of Mexico.
An anti-American uprising Of the pop
ulacc, however, now is said to be
less Of a pOtentiality than hitherto.
Necessities Of life have climbed to
such value in Mexico City as to be
beyond the reach of thousands, and
formerly Well-to-do people feel the
pinch Of real poverty.
May Keep Carranza Out.
The growing strength Of Villa and
the well-known turbulence Of tho
bandit chief, Zapata, are factors with
which Gen. Carranza will have to
reckon, and it is by no means GER
tain that the titular head of the rev.
O!ht:onists will be permitted to outer
the City Of Mexico even upon Huer-
ia s downfall.
