SOUND SHIP SINKS;
SAVE SIX OF CREW
Captain and Others are Re-
ported to be Missing After
the Isabel Founders.

Stamford, Conn, Sept. 29.-Five bare
footed, shivering sailors in charge of
their second engineer, George Brown,
stumbled into police headquarters here
and told of the sinking Of their ship,
the Isabel, q 125 footer, off Cow reef.
At last accounts only these six men of
the crew of twenty had reached land.
The Isabel, which is owned by the
Norwalk Steamboat company of Nor
walk and plies between Norwalk and
New York, left pier 30, East river, for
South NOrwalk with cargo Of general
merchandise. According to the sur
vivors, she began TO sink rapidly on
reaching the famous Cow reef, two
miles out In the sound from Stamford.
The sailors express doubt that the
ship struck a rock because they insist
they felt no sudden jar, but there are
many rocks in the sound where their
ship sank beneath them, and no other
explanation seems plausible.
The men say that four lifeboats were
manned at once. one In charge of Cap
tain Roland, one in charge Of Chief
Engineer Wells Clough, the third in
charge of First Mate f. n. Degan and
the fourth, which reached here, In
charge Of George Brown.

HOSTILE MEXICANS

Galveston, Tex, Sept. 29.-Five hun
dred uniformed Mexicans, apparently
from Carranza's army, fully armed and
well organized have intrenched them
selves across the Rio Grande from Pro
greso. American troops, principally
cavalry, guard the crossing, but their
number is insufficient to ward off an
attack.
Mexicans at Progreso have been
warned by friends across the border
That the Mexican army will invade
Texas, and United States infantry and
artillery are being rushed to the scene.
Major Anderson says that mountain
artillery may be used to clear the bad
men" zone if signs OF attack are mani
tested He anticipates trouble, but be
lieves that the Mexicans will not be
able to cross. Infantry and artillery
should arrive on the scene soon.
Four different bands of Mexicans
have Joined those already opposite Pro

soldiers Mexican scouts have been
seen riding along the river at various
points, evidently looking for places
where crossings could be effected.
American soldiers have orders to re

SECRETARY GARRISON.

gress at the next session for approxi-
mately $250,000, 600 for the use of the
army.
When Secretary Garrison appointed
committee of ranking officers to go
into the questions they presented the
viewpoint and then advised the head of
the department that it would require
5000, 100000 this year to provide these
needs.
The secretary took the plans and an
alyzed them piece by piece until he has
finally cut the cost by $350,000,O00.
As now worked out the plans provide
for an army built along the following
lines:
An immediate increase of between
25, 900 and 10000 men and 1000 Off
GERS.
The present enlistment terms to be
changed to the short enlistment, with
a reserve provision which requires the
soldiers to return to the colors upon
call.
By the operation of this plan the
army at the end of five years would
consist of 100000 trained men-125, 900
in the service are 375,O0O prepared to
| join the colors at Il moments notice.
The theory upon which this plan was
| worked out was that the American
standing army should be for defensive
purposes only. In other words, it was
prepared upon the assumption that the
| navy will be increased to such an ex-
| tent that it can for long enough time
protect the two coasts against attack
| to give the army chance to build up
| a tremendous force with the 100000
| men as basis.
The plan provides for the enlarge
| ment of the most important coast for
| tiications and the use of the greatest
guns at the principal points.
| A general increase in all branches of
| ordnance and the purchase of a stock
| of ammunition plentiful enough to car
ry on an initial campaign.
In addition to the plan for the regu-
| lar army there will be a number of
| suggestions for the standardization of
| the militia. Because of the failure of
most of the state organizations to meet
| the standards set down by the war de
| partment it has been deemed inadviSa-
| BILE to spend any great amount of fed
| eral money on these branches. 1t is
declared that President Wilson will
urge on the leaders that the proposed
| increase is imperative.

ed here by two city detectives on Il
warrant charging him with assault and

made him immune from such an in
dignity"
The 'fndignity" followed several
hours of most active work on the part
of the sheriff In arresting saloon keep
ers and a plain politician who are fol
lowers of H Otto Wittpenn, naval off
Ger of the port Of New York, leader Of
the so called Hudson county progress
sive Democracy.

lice headquarters for a bOndsman he
got into a mess with Acting Chief of
Police Edward NJ. Griffin and tore
Grif1n's coat
Kinkead has had his heart set on
carrying Bayonne for the regular De
mocracy and made himself unpopular
among the Wittpennites by doing much
campaign work He decided that q
dry election day" would be good for
his cause saloons are supposed to be
closed while the polls are OPEN and
arrived In Bayonne in his automobile
at II 10 to enforce the law.
The sheriff stopped at police head
quarters and then crossed the street to
the saloon Of Doc" Dennle O'Connor
whom he arrested twice during the
Standard Oil strike and once last Sun

ed and made his way through restau
rant to a closed door,
Kinkead picked up a heavy chair in
tending to break his way in, and O'COn-
nor saved him the trouble by unlocking
the door. He promptly arrested OCon,
nor. although the latter insisted he was
not doing business,
The sheriff then whizzed through the
city in his car and locked up four other
Wittpenn saloon keepers before he got
tired He forced his way into two OF
the saloons.
Kinkead was bailed by Surrogate
Iohn P. Egan of Hudson county for eX
animation on Friday. He did not &C
straight home. but fingered here in the
interest Of the regular Democracy. A
one polling place where he stopped q
crowd of 1000 gathered around his cal
and said many uncomplimentary things
to his face, but he did not even scare.
AS soon as O'Conpor was released or
bail he went before Recorder Kain anC
swore out a warrant charging the sher
if with assault and battery. O'Connol
said the sheriff punched him. The ar
rest followed.
