MiIlionaires and Cheap Smokes"

1t is common delusion that great
American millicnaires smoke large
cigars that cost about dollar apiece.

the august person asked him for a

of the widespread activities to bring

A. JUDAH DIES IN KANSAS CITY
Well Known Owner and Manager of
Grand Opera House Succumbs to
Kidney Trouble.

Kansas City, Oct. 2S.-Abraham
Judah. the dean of theatrical manag-
ers of this section, died at his home
here after an illness which had con-
fined him to the house for two weeks.
For more than twenty years Mr.. Judah
had been manager and principal own
er of the Grand Opera House, one of
the most successful playhouses in the
country.
Mr.. Judah was always prominent in
charitable work, being the first to
suggest and organize benefits in his
line for relief of the stricken. When
San Francisco was devastated by
earthquake and fire. Mr.. Judah was
one of the heads of the local relief
committee. A big benefit was given
at the Grand and the relief check for
funds was signed by him.
He came to Kansas city in 1883 and
started the first Kansas City museum
on Ninth street, with one attraction
and a ten-cent admission. Other at
fractions were added and the enter
prise grew into a pronounced success.
resulting finally in the goal to which
he aspired, the ownership and man.
agement of a popular priced opera
house, his policy being to give good
plays at prices within the reach of all.
He was independent of the great the
atrical organizations, booking his own
attractions and winning out.

Won Kissing MUST ANSWER
Military Governor of Belgium Sum-
moned by Kaiser to Tell of
Miss CaveIl's Death.

London, Oct. 26.-According to an
Amsterdam dispatch to the Daily Elk
press, it is said in Brussels that Gen
era1 Won Bissing, military governor
of Belgium, and General Won Der
Lancken, civlt governor, have been
called to imperial headquarters to re-
port on Miss CavelPs death.
The reported summons of the two
officials to report personally to the
kaiser concerning Miss Cavell's death
was interpreted here as meaning that
their superiors may not as unquali-
fiedly approve of their action as was
indicated in a statement given out
by the under foreign secretary, AL
fred Zimmerman.
The impression here has been all
along that the German military au-
thorities at Brussels fastened the
nurses death lest the kaiser pardon
Miss Cavell or commute her sentence
The attempt to prevent Brand Whit
lock, the American minister, from
knowing that sentence had been pro-
nounced until after its execution also
was attributed to fear that the Eng
lish woman's life would be saved some
how, if the real situation were re
vealed in time.

SHOOT ANOTHER U. S. SOLDIER
Clash Again at Scene of Recent
Railroad Wreck.

Brownsville, Tex, Oct. 25.-Soldiers
of the Fourth United States infantry
and Mexican bandits engaged in a
skirmish tonight shortly after s
o'clock at the scene of the train rob-
berry and murders last Monday. One
American soldier, Private Herman E.
Moore, was wounded in the fight, ac-
cording to reports received at Fort
Brown.
Sergeant Arthur Estridge of Com
pany c, Fourth infantry, was in com
mand of the detachment attacked. He
reported to Fort Brown headquarters
that five Mexicans were seen to cross
the railroad track just beyond where
the infantry was stationed. Mexicans
and soldiers promptly opened fire and
the commander gave alarm to head
quarters. AS the Mexicans returned
the fire their number seemed larger
The firing lasted about five minutes.
Probably 100 shots were fired. Pri-
vate Moore was wounded in the abdo-
men and is not expected to live. There
were no Mexicans killed so far as
known.
The plans of the Mexicans are be-
ieved to have miscarried. 1t is
thought they intended surrounding the
Americans 10 denver d surprise at
tack. This was prevented, it is be-
Heved, by the vigilance of the sol
diers who saw the five men crossing
the track. Reports from the scene
said there seemed to be about sixteen
Mexicans in the band. When the
Americans opened fire the Mexicans
took to the brush while the soldiers
awaited reinforcements from Browns
vile, eight miles away. Army Off
GERS at Fort Brown said that as it is
only four miles to the Rio Grande
from the place of attack the Mexicans'
retreat across the river could be pre-
vented by reinforcements in automo-
biles.
The departure of achievements
from Fort Brown tonight was the
quickest in the history of the late Dor
der troubles. Within six minutes
after the reports of fighting were re-
ceived half dozen civilian-owned au-
tomobiles filled with soldiers sped out
of Fort Brown through the main bust
ness streets of the city. Police
cleared the streets of all traffic and
gave the military automobiles the
right of way.

the United States government do
everything in its power to bring an
end to slaughter and persecution of
Armenians by the Turks
Mr. Topakyan said he had received
news that among the slain Armenians
were many of his own relatives. In
the memorandum he gave to Score
tary Lansing he declared that the up
risings against the Christian Armen-
fans had resulted in 100000 persons
being driven from their homes and tor
tured or murdered
Secretary Lansing assured Mr.. To
pakyan that President Wilson had
taken keen interest in the Armenian
situation and that the government
was doing all it possibly could.
London, Oct. 26.-Viscount Bryce,
the former British ambassador at
Washington, speaking at Manchester

ian massacres, said:

WILL STOP VILLA
Gen. Funston Ordered to Allow
Carranza Troops Only to
Cross the Border.
To TREAT OTHERS AS OUTLAWS
Battle Between Contending Mexican
Forces at Aqua Prieta is Expected
at Any Time.

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Shouid Villa
troops cross the border and attack the
Mexican town of Aqua Prieta from the
Texas side, as press reports from the
scene have indicated they might do,
they would be treated as outlaws, dis
armed and, in the event of resistance,
shot down by the United States troops.
Officials at the State and War Depart
ments made this clear tonight, al
though no official advices had been re-
ceived that such developments were in
prospect.
Major General Funston, commanding
the American border forces, has full
authority to take any necessary steps
to prevent violation of American terri
tory by Mexican armed parties, short
of actually invading Mexico. An order
to cross the border would have to come
from Washington but if bullets fell on
the American side in the course of any
battle across the line, General Fun
stone may use his artillery to drive
the combatants away.
Border Situation is Changed.
In d message to General Funston
yesterday, Secretary Garrison renewed
general instructions for the conduct of
the border patrol. With the recogni-
ton of the CarraEza regime as the de
facto government of Mexico the border
situation is somewhat changed. Should
armed men in revolt against that gov
eminent cross the line they would be
considered, officials explained, merely
as outlaws to be placed in custody and
surrendered to the Carranza forces on
proper application for extradition.
Should Carranza soldiers be defeated
and forced to flee into American terri
tory they would be disarmed but per-
mitted to return to Mexico at some
other point on the border, where their
arms would be returned to them. The
United States does not recognize that
a state of belligerency against the Car
rama government exists, and there
would be no question of internment.
