the Carranxa forces under General
Gonzales who drove the Zapata army
from the capital ten days ago. have
marched hurriedly northward to en-
gage an advancing Villa column be-
lieved to be planning junction with
the Zapata troops now menacing COM

partment dispatches announced that
General Gonzales with most Of his
army had evacuated Mexico City. turn
ing the government over to the civil
authorities.
This was just preceded by advice
that Gen. Villas flying column. which
circled Obregon's forces after the bat
tie Of Aguas Calientes and captured
Queretaro, had taken possession Of Pa
chuca, within forty miles Of Mexico
City. and was marching on the capital.

came the news that Gen. Carranza had
taken possession Of the reconstructed
railroad east Of Apizaca. q junction
point south Of Pachuca. and had or
dered that It be held exclusively for
transportation Of troops and ammuni-
milton, thus preventing further ship
ment Of provisions from Vera Cruz to
the needy thousands at Mexico City.
Officials here made no effort to con-
ceal their belief that the situation sur
rounding the Mexican capital was
grave one. With another battle for
possession of the city imminent, and
with much.needed food shipments from
the east coast cut off. 1t was feared
that further suffering among the civil
population would follow.

the city in an effort to head off the
invading villa forces. together with
Carranza's action in closing the rail-
road to freight and passenger traffic,
It Is feared here, will make further
relief work at the capital practically

Notwithstanding Gen. Gonzales -
sertion that q military force was left

ficient to prevent trouble or to main
tain order in the capital.

tation," said the man, land Ill let you

The last quotation was a quarter of
cent higher than the price Jim was
to pay. MAKE it half the profits"
said the capitalist, land I'll go you"
Jim assented. The man paid the mar
gin on the copper, and before the bal
ance was to be paid copper had risen
half cent pound.
Meanwhile Jim had gathered Stats
tics as to the copper on hand and the
amount likely to be required. Orders
for ammunition We're beginning to
come from abroad, and copper kept go
ing up. Jim convinced his partner
that the price must continue TO rise,
and the latter consented TO hold on.
One day after the war had been go
ing on for nearly a year the copper
was sold, and Jim pocketed what was
for him a small fortune. He and his
wife had, on the strength of Jim's cop
per holdings, been able 10 borrow
enough TO keep them, and now they
were in fine fettle.
"My DEAR" said Jim. "as told you

panion Charles Z. jefferson, pastor OF
Broadway tabernacle, New York City
writes a sermon to fathers In which he
saws:
1T is an extraordinary fact that so
many American men should be willing
TO shirk their religious obligations. They
DO il habitually, while in the days Of
courtship they may be found in the
church, but after the wedding day they
attend church less frequently, and by
and by drop out altogether. This con-
stitutes for many a woGan her first Sc
rious domestic problem. She does not
know what her duty is. She loves the
church. and she also loves her husband.
II he prefers 20 stay at home. she is
likely 70 stay with him. In this way
many a woman orucifces her spiritual
inclinations and sinks down into the in
difference of a worldly life"

Murdered Man Promised to
Wed Each One cf.
Them -
HOUSEKEEPER,
DRESSMAKER
And Clerk Tell of Romances
with Rhode Island
Justice

Providence, r. l., Sept. l6.-A maj
whose name the police refuse to divulge
is being detained at police headquarter
as suspicious person, and has beer
questioned regarding the killing OF Jus
tice Willis Knowles.
He is 81 years old and was taken into
custody Tuesday night on Willard ave
| nue. as the result of information con
tanned in letter. The suspect is al
legged to have threatened man.
The police declined to give his name
saying it would be unfair to the man
until something more definite is learned
about him and his movements.
Recent Investigations OF the police
show Justice Knowles was friendly with
three women at the same time. Each OF
the trio says the Judge was engaged to
her. The women are Miss Louise Bow
en-, 3S, of East Greenwich, employed as
clerk in the insurance commissioner 8
office at the State House; Miss Mabel
Bowes, 35, of 10 Ontario street, dress
maker, with parlors at 1879 Matherson
street, Providence; and Mrs. Cora T..
Wardwell, AZ, divorced woman, who
was his housekeeper for Il years. Miss
Bowen is grand niece of the late Gen.
Charles r. Brayton, who was known as
the "blind boss of Rhode Island.
To Mrs. Wardwell the judge left his
magnificent home in which they both
lived at the time OF his murder.
All OF the women with whom the
Judge was friendly were shocked to
learn of the existence of his other
"friend."
When Mrs. Wardwell was told Judge
Knowles was engaged to marry Miss
Bowen, she said, II don't believe it. If
she came here and told me so face to
face | would not believe it, The judge
loved me and | loved him and he told
me several times that he would make
me his wife, although he kept putting
it off from time to time"
When Miss Bowen was interviewed at
the State House she said. "Judge
Knowles was too big and manly for
such deception, and | do not believe it.
His biggest fight in life was against
the very things which they now charge
against him. When | was sick at the
Hope hospital he came there every day
for five months TO see me. He neglected
his profession in order to visit me-"
Close friends Of Judge Knowles say he
liked Miss Bowen more than he did the
other two women whose names have
been connected with his private life. IL
is said she "called him down" several
times because he insisted on having Mrs.
Wardwell as his housekeeper, and that
she returned presents he gave her.
All three women say they are anxious
10 have the judges assassin brought TO
Justice, and that they will do all in
heir power to that end.
