MORE EVIDENCE WANTED.
Neat Packers to Strengthen Claim
on Goods Seized by England.

The Chicago meat packers whose
goods were seized by Great Britain
have been asked by the State Depart
nrent to forward further evidence that
their product was not intended for
Englands enemies. The packers have
been protesting through the State De-
partment at the seizure Of great car
goes of meat products, aggregating
$15,000.00 in value.
The cases are covered in general
way in the American note to Great
Britain on the subject of neutral trade,
now awaiting President Wilson's sig
nature. Whether. in addition, special
representations will be made on behalf
OF the packers depends on the evidence
new asked for. 1t is believed.

TEN MEX|CANS KILLED
BY CITIZENS IN TEXAS
Accused of Completely in Staying
Americans During Train
Hold-Up.

BROWNSVILLE Tex, October 90
Ten Mexicans were put to death yes
terday by posses of citizens for al
legged completely in the killing of three
Americans and the wounding of four
others aboard a ST. Louis. Brownsville
and Mexico passenger train near
Brownsville Monday night. Several
hundred civilians, county peace off,
GERS and United States troops last night
continued in pursuit of other members
of the band.
The death of DIR. E. S. Mccain, dep
uty state health officer, brought the
number killed by the bandits to three.
All of the others wounded are expect
ed to recover.
After wrecking the train the outlaws,
said to number about seventy-flve men,
fired on the passengers and robbed
them of their money and valuables.
Meager Reports Available.
Only meager reports of the killing of
the Mexicans are available. One of
the men was a passenger aboard the
| train. and Is said to have revealed the
hiding place of DR.. Mccain. When the
physician refused to leave the COM
partment in which he had taken refuge
the bandits opened fire through the
door, mortally wounding him. Sheriff
Vann denied that the Mexican was
killed. but it developed later that he
was shot to death after the sheriff
left the scene of the wreck. Four
other Mexicans were hanged to trees
at various points during the day, and
the others were shot.
One man captured by United States
troops was turned over to the civil
authorities. Five other suspects were
placed in the Brownsville jail

opinion that the raid was organized on
the American side of the Rio Grande.

service who retired or lost their lives
before the act went into effect.
Those two women who live in New
York city are not the only contributors
to the fund. although it reaches no
great magnitude beyond their donation.
A woman who lives on Long Island
sends in an annual contribution of $40.
There are also few other more or less
regular contributors of small amounts.
Then the fund is also increased in a
small way from royalties on the book,
The Heroes of the Storm" written by
W. D. OCennor. The author was for
merly an assistant general superin-
tendent of the live-saving service, and
wrote many magazine articles on the
activities of the life-saving service
in storm and wreck. Upon his death
published them in one book. The widow

The case was argued by Crandal
Mackey, attorney for the common

Judge Thornton reserved his opinion

How the Gift Originated.

The two women who donate the an
nual sum of $1,000 came into the office
of Supt. Kinball a great many years
ago. informed him that they wished
to make donations to some charity, and
that they had been told of distress
needing relief among those who had
been dependent upon men of the life
saving service. Supt. Kimball revealed
to them conditions as he knew them;
the result was that the first check was
turned over to him as trustee to dis
pose of as he saw fit.
Fifteen years or more ago, another
woman. friend of these regular con-
tributors. gave Supt. Kimball thou
sand-dollar check to dispose of as he
saw fit in this charity. He called upon
her to ask what disposition to make
of 1t. but she would not be induced to
suggest any way other than such as
he should be induced to take in getting
1t to the most needy beneffciaries.
Last year the fund, amounting to
$1.O3S, was distributed among lis bene-
fciaries. The preceding year there were
107 beneflciaries. who received a total
aid of $1.017. Between the two years
eight had been dropped from the relief
list. one of them dying; sixteen were
added. The new cases grew out of
conditions occurring during the year.
Pensioners dropped from the list, other
than the one who died. had received
legacies or by other means been re-
moved from the necessity of such spe-
cial aid.

With reference to the Black Incl
dent the following may be of inter
est to you: The hearing Of the case
developed these facts:
THAT the men called on Black
for an amicable adjustment Of the
matter.

exchanged and Rogers pointed his
finger in the face of Black, declaring:
you are. not going to make that
speech tonight, 5" Hall and Black grab
bed for their guns.
3-That Hall BLACKS companion)
fired the first shot, firing twice in
rapid succession, and killed Rogers,
who was not armed.
THAT Copeland fired the third
shot, hitting Black.
5-That Hall did most of the shoot
ing. On the witness stand he testi-
fed that having emptied his No. 38
Colt automatic he reloaded it since
he carried two or three extra maya
zines in his pocket.
When Ryan was asked why they
went to Blacks hotel armed he said:
eve heard the statement these fell
lows made, that they were ready for
resistance and we took precautionary
methods"
The above L. NJ. is the court rec
ord of the affair and it very clearly
shows that the blame is not on the
Catholics whose protest was surely
called for, but on Black and his COM
panion Hall, who provoked shooting
from the other side as a matter of
self defence.

Better Maintenance of
HarbOr Defenses Necessary

Washington, Dec. s. A fixed
policy in maintenance of harbor de-
lenses under which at least per cent.
of the older battery empioyments
would be replaced annually. is advo-
Gated in the annual report of the chief
of engineers of the army. 1t is point
ed out that only 10 per cent. of the
present harbor defense projects have
been built or rebuilt since 1909.
The report declares that .ft cannot
be too emphatically stated that the
art of fortification is a progressive
one" and points out that the countries
coast defense equipment has not kept
pace in its development with the i'm
provements in naval armament against
which it must be matched.
While no mention is made of tho
$50, 100000 four-year program urged
by the Administration for improye-
ment of the coast defenses. the renort
estimates that s5,369.260 will be need
ed during the coming year for neces-
sary work on present or projected

CHRISTMAS RUSH
EARLY THIS YEAR
Local Passenger Trains Need
Extra Cars; All Roads Re-
port Big Rush

Reports from the passenger depart
ments of the Pennsylvania Railroad,
and the Philadelphia and Reading
Railway, indicate an early Christmas
rush. Travel between Harrisburg and
Lebanon has been exceedingly heavy
this week. An extra car was to-day
placed on all local trains.
On the Pennsylvania Railroad the
extra express cars have been added
to local trains and a special messenger
assigned to each car. On ordinary oc-
casions baggageman does double
duty. Local trains have been crowded
between Harrisburg and Miffiin, and
on the Northern Central, and Phila-
delphia divisions. Previous records
show normal travel up to a week be-
fore the holidays when the rush
started. This year, it is said the semi
monthly pay days with the busy times
are bringing the business earlier.
