ing his wife in the crowded station
Of the Philadelphia and Reading rail-
way here last night after having
traced her from town to town for five
weeks, Claude Dawson. Of Aspidan,

the woman with seven shots from an
automatic revolver, while hundreds
looked on aghast.
With her arms to her eyes and
blood coming from the fatal WOUNDS,
the wife only twenty one years old
and pretty, staggered oa grass plot
outside the station, where she died.
Dawson followed her, meanwhile
keeping the spectators at bay with ms
revolver. Those who followed him
with their eyes saw the man pick up
the dead woman in his arms and i'm
print kiss on her lips. He then laid
her down gently, deliberately reload
I'll the revolver and sent IL bulI"'

OUT ROOSEVELT
FOR WILSON
Many Former Progressives
Refuse to Follow The
Colonel
HENEY is THE LATEST
Formal Bull Moose Candidate for
Senate Praises Presidents Policies
and Pledges Support

Washington, July 3--One by one
the militant and thoroughly indepen-
dent leaders of the late Progressive
party are coming out for President
Wilson and are serving notice upon
Theodore Roosevelt and Charles E.
Hughes that they will not lie deli
vercd into the hands of the men who
have dominated the Republican or
ganization since 1912.
Raymond Robbins, chairman Of the
Progressive Convention at Chicago;
John NJ. Parker, Vice Presidential
nominees of that convention; Brain
bridge Colby, who placed Roosevelt in
nomination; Roscoe G. Fertich, one of
the Bull Moose founders in Indiana;
J. As. H. Hopkins, State chairman of
the Progressive organization in New
Jersey, and Norman Hapgood, one
of the most brilliant factors in the
one-time party, have let it be known
that they vii! not swallow Mr..
Hughes.
The White House has given out
telegram received from Francis J.
Heney, the graft prosecutor, Of Sam
Francisco, former Bull Moose can
didate for the United States Senate
and one of the stanchest of the Pro-
grcsSive leaders, East or West in
which he announces his determina-
tion to support Mr.. Wilson and ten
dcrS his services to the Democratic
National Committee during the cam
paign.
No declaration yet made by a for
MGR follower of Colonel Roosevelt is
more significant than that contained
in the Heney telegram. This is not
based upon mere resentment that
Roosevelt should have surrendered to
the Republican nor upon the sole fact
that the Republican party now is
controlled by the same reactionary in
flucnces that controlled it four years
ago. This circumstance is cited by
Mr.. Heney as one reason why sin
cerc Progressives cannot ally them
selves with the old party, but his
most impressive point is the state
ment that the Wilson administration
commends itself to every patriotic
American.
The Presidents foreign policies are
praised by Mr.. Heney. He refers to
our negotiations with Germany as the
triumph Of a wholesome diplomacy
that has kept the country out Of war
without sacrificing either American
r"r or prestige. He praises the
Mexican policy just as generously,
and then cites the success Of the do
mcstic program of the Wilson Adj
ministration.

ITALIANS PROGRESS
Smashing Austrian Mountain Defens-

London, July 3-On the entire Tren-
tino front the Italians are smashing
against the Austrian mountain de-
fenscs and further progress is re-

The Italian heavy guns have now

SPOKE ON JUDGMENT
Another Large Congregation in Tent
Last Night

"The Judgment" was the theme OF
the discourse at the gospel tent on
north Washington street last night.
There was a large congregation, the
members of which manifested in
terest in the sermon which was
delivered by Evangelist Gibson.
The speaker said that the investi-
gative Judgment began in 1874 A.
D., when the Prophet Daniel said
it would begin; that it begins with the
house of God, as the Apostle Peter
said, and that all will have to ap-
pear before the judgment seat OF
Christ, as the Apostle Paul said. The
speaker, continuing, said we know
rot when the judgment will begin
with the living, but we know that II
is very near, even at the doors.
The speaker said we should be
prepared to meet God, so that wher
our names come up in the judgment
the Lcid may say of us "Well done
enter thou into the JOY of the Lord. ,
The music was special feature oi
the service. Chorister Ellers sang q
special song, and at the close of the
services a song on the judgment wa:
sung by the quartette.
The subject tonight will be "Sin-
what is it," etc. There will be M
services tomorrow (Tuesday) night

der to a pitch of intense excitement
Virginia's troops, in spirit, at least
are ready for the call to action. In
action has hung heavily upon them.
The dull routine Of camp life has moi
satisfied their longing to perform mill
tary service. The bare prospect OF
a rush to the border has, filled them
with enthusiasm and many heart
was made lighter.
While declining to say definitely
Just when the troops would be sent
to Texas, military authorities did not
hesitate to say that the Fourth of
July season is bad time for such an
undertaking. Railroads are embar-
rassesed in the running Of special
trains. There is danger, they say, of
wrecks in a congestion of traffic. Il
is impossible to move on lines with
numerous excursions with the same
degree of safety as in other times.
Commanders are loath too, to move
their men without all the training pos.
'sible to be had at the concentration.

Having made himself, it is alleged
personally and officially offensive to
many officers Of the Virginia militia
Lieutenant Colonel Sterrett, United
States Army, has been relieved by
Major-General Wood, commander of
the Department of the East, from
duty as chief inspecting officer for
the War Department with the Virginia
troops. Colonel Sterrett will be sue
ceeded, it is said, by Colonel Cham
bcrlayne, of the Inspector Generals
Department.
The exact causes which led to the
action reported to have been taken by
officers of the Virginia National
Guard IN asking General Wood to re-
lieve Colonel Sterrett from duty in
Richmond are difficult to learn, in
view Of the position taken by the off,

take such radical action. it is stated
that ever since his arrival, Colonel
Stcrrett's attitude toward the troops
and their commanders has been such
as to arouse intense resentment.

Mexican Leaders Believe Chances of
Hostilities Have Been Materially
-Lessened ...l-..

Washington, July 3.-Concentra
tion of General Pershing's troops
nearer the American border was
dictated by military necessity ahe
is not the beginning of withdrawal
from Mexico.
This explanation was given at III. .s
War Department today where y
was declared General Pershlng mas
found it necessary to concentrate
his forces not only to guard agalhs'
hostihties, but because it was I'M
possible to provide supplies for the
men and forage for the animals with
base so far from the border.
The War Department will not ad-
NIT that Pershing's army has peen
withdrawn 800 miles, and Is no"
within 100 miles of the border. on-
der the military censorship, the ex-
act location of the troops cannot
be given. It was stated, however
that orders have not come from the
White House for withdrawal.
Mexico City, July 3.-The foreign
office today was unable to make any
definite statement as to when Gen
eral Carranza's reply to the Am
erican. note Will be presented.
Friday it was stated upon appar-
ently reliable authority that the re-
ply was practically completed and
would be delivered within few
hours.
The following day the statement
was made that the note probably
would be ready by Monday night.
Today the best information was that
the final draft would not be made
foY several days.
PRESIDENT Wilson'S peech before
