TRA|MOADS OF CUARDSMEN
ARE ARRIVING AT PAS0
Military Leaders Believe Adequate Concentra-
ton Soon Will Be Realized Along Border

Ell Paso, Texas, July 2.-National
Guardsmen by the trainload reached Ell
Paso today. While many unloaded for
stations in the vicinity, the great ma
jority were rushed on to points west
ward to complete concentration on the
frontier.
Military men say at the present rate
of transportation all points along the
border soon will be strengthened to a
degree that will make impossible Mex
lean forays on American soil.
The Second Massachusetts Infantry
which detrained here yesterday, was
ordered to the expeditionary base at
Columbus to reinforce the regiment of
New Mexican guardsmen and the 1900
regulars there. A and B batteries of
New Jersey Field Artillery were sent
to Douglas, Ariz., presumably to re-
lieve regular cavalrymen. 1t is report
ed that the cavalry will be ordered to
the San Bernardino valley, east of
Douglas to protect its large supply of
cattle, horses and forage from possible
bandit forays.

two troops of cavalry and a signal
company also left westward for an un-

General Bell announced today that he
had employed a corps of local under
takers to go to Carrizal to bring here
the bodies of the American soldiers
killed in the engagement there. The un-
dertakers will go into Mexico under
personal guarantee Of safety from Gen.
Alvario Obregon, Mexican minister of
war.
The terrific heat that greeted the ar
irving guardsmen today kept most of
them under cover. The word sent out
that, following their arduous trip from
the cool Atlantic coast region to the
burning messas of western Texas, the
soldiers should take things easy.

TiNkER's SINGING ORCHESTRA
Successfully Opens Its Season Satur.
day Night at Island Park

lnaugurating another season devoted
to the PRONUNCIATION of the terpsicho-
rean art. enhanced by music rendered
by New England's most famous Sing
ing Orchestra, the Island Park dance
pavilion was formally opened on Sat
urday night, July LIST. Local lovers of
the dance needed no other recommen-
dalton as to the calibre of this sea =
sons entertainment at Island Park
than the mere fact that the renowned
Thinkers Orchestra will once more
preside over the destinies of this re-
sort for the summer. Memory Of
the past two years, when the Think
ers were at Island Park. is altogether
too fresh and pleasant to occasion any
extraVagant promises as to what will
be in store in the line Of diversion
there for this season. 1t is safe to
say that throughout all New England
there can be found no more popular
a resort than Island Park, and with
the dance pavilion conducted under
the guidance Of the Thinkers, the last
iota of skepticism as to the success
of the summer is banished
While in past years, the work of the
hihSiS DtSH VI ii phenomenal ma
ture, still, this year, the novelties and
new ideas which will be introduced,
bid fair to eclipse anything that has
previously been attempted. Elaborate
equipment has been added to the
musical end of the Thinkers program,
while dances. both standard and mod
ern, may be INDUCED in to the hearts
content Then, there is the prime es-
sential of good department, a feature
for the maintenance of which the
Thinkers in the past have justly earn
ed considerable praise.
There will be dancing at the pa
vilion every Monday. Thursday and
Saturday nights. while for the Fourth
of July there will be two special dan
ces, one in the afternoon, the other
in the evening. making this day a
truly gala occasion at the park OF
course. there will be free moving pic
lures every night, beginning Monday,
July 8. and a diversified program of
subjects will be presented
All in all, the present season at ISL
and Park, promises to be one that
will long set standard for similar
amusement resorts.

Billie Burke in the first episode o.
''Gloria's Romance"
This new serial, and newest thing IN
serials, gets away with everything In 1T
favor. The elements Of sustained interest,"
appear to have been. carefully studied
and handled with an expert hand, and the
result is pleasing to the eye and stimu-
lating to the imagination.
A dainty star. a capable support. beauti'
full scenery, brilliant photography and an
absorbing story clearly presented are the
features which commend the firt chap
tars to exhibitor and public. Billie Burke
as Gloria Stafford has personality which
does not disappointed her popularity; she
is known and liked from Orient Point to
Coronado Beach, and she has seldom
shown to better advantage than in these
pictures.
"Glora's Romance is the story of a
little girl who grows up. Miss Burke has
mirrored with exquisite precision the ad-
descent unfolding skilfully indicated by
the Hughes. Through her youthful roy
densm peep glmpses of aspiring young
ladyhood, but her attitude is mostly of
rebellion and effervescent mischief. Along
with her mschievousness Miss Burke is
mistress of naive selfishness that flnds
particular scope in some of the moonlit
scenes where she wanders through lovely
gardens or scrambles slyly over the We
randa balustrade. "Gloria's Romance" is
the human kind of story that will find
echo in hearts In every city street and
village home.

'SHERIFFS MAKE
Two RUM SEIZURES
AND SUNDAY
And Find Liquors at Mrs. Sarah
Roderique's on Mt. Vernon
Avenue and at Will Shaw's
on Snow Plow, Both of Whom
put One Over" on Officers
and Make Their Escape

The sheriffs visited Saturday night
and Sunday morning two Of the places
within the city limits where it is al
legged that something stronger than
cold tea is dispensed to the thirsty and
were successful in each case so far as
the seizure of intoxicating liquors was
concerned. but regarding the time al
which the alleged proprietors of the
two places will be brought before the
municipal court to answer to the
charge which will be preferred against
them is matter of some conjecture.
| The action of the sherffs began
Saturday night when Deputies Lewis.
Rice, Pomerleau. Emery and Bullock
made trip up on Mt. Vernon avenue
and called at the house Of Mrs. Sarah
Roderique. The woman was at home.
but whether she was glad to see her
guests is matter of some doubt be-
cause of the liberties they took in
searching the house. The main seizure
consisted of four quarts of whiskey,
besides some fragmentary parts of
quarts in different bottles, and also
some Sterling ale. The officers COR
rallied the liquor all right but when It
came to taking possession of the per-
son of Mrs. Roderique she was not
there as she had succeeded in taking
French leave of the party by quitting
the house by way of a barber shop that
is located therein. Her departure was
not noticed until too late and her
whereabouts are as yet a mystery. 1t
is presumed that her escape may have
been induced by the remembrance on
her part that there is already one case
against her at the coming term of the
superior court.
The search Sunday morning had for
its scene the premises of Will Shaw
out in the Togus district, on the "Sno "
Plow." so-called. and the officers en-
gagged were Deputies Bullock, Emery,
Lewis and Rice. Mr. Shaw was there
apparently catering to the early morn
ing trade and evidently not looking for
any interruption on the part of the of
ficers. The principal find there con-
sisted Of four pint bottles of whiskey
under the bar They also found on the
Home reservation not far from Shaw's
place two shorts bags, each partly
filled with pint bottles of whiskey. Mr..
Shaw seldom makes any trouble when
his presence is wanted in town and is
said to have told the officers that whor
they came back from their trip up the
road he would be ready to go to town
with them. 1t is presumed. however,
that he must have forgotten his agree
ment for when the time came for the
return to the city he was absent and
has been absent ever since One of the
members of the Shaw family told the
officers that he would be back Monday
morning and-perhaps he will

who drives one of the large mail teams
Tor w. V. Hunt & Sons had about as
narrow escapes from death Saturday
afternoon as it is mans good fortune
to have and live to tell about it. when
train No. II, bound for Bangor hit a
baggage truck which they were load
ing.
No. II. which is due at Augusta at
2.o9 +. NJ, is supposed to pass train
No which leaves Augusta for Port
land and Boston at 3.07 P NJ. at the
RIVERSIDE crossing, but owing to the
fact that the train from Portland was
late the conductor of No. 4, acting upon
orders, proceeded to Augusta and wait
ed here for the eastbound train. En-
glneer Charles Watson of No. IL, ex-
pecting to pass No. at the usual
crossing, and intent upon making I'D
lost time, sent his train around the
curve under Rines hall at high rate
OF speed unconscious of the fact that
the Portland train was standing on the
Baggagemaster Sylvester and Mr..
Bangs were loading one of the hand
trucks from the westbound cars and
were so busy with their work that they
did not see the approaching train until
the big engine was almost upon them.
Both men kept their heads, however,
and by some remarkably quick action
Mr.. Sylvester with dow in tow, leap
ed directly across the path of the To-
connective to safety, while Mr.. Bangs
climbed for the baggage car of No.
just in time to escape being hit. TO the
Mortified spectators it looked for mo-
ment as if one or both men had gone
beneath the train and a general sigh of
relief went up when both were seen to
be unhurt.
There was a big crowd swarming
over the tracks in the station at the
time, and it is largely due to the quick
work in clearing the rails done by Con-
ductor Webster, who was off duty,
and Yardmaster Fred Merrill that a
number were not killed or injured. One
trunk of clothing belongong to Carl
Wardwell of Pittsfield was almost
completely demolished and it's contents
scattered for rods over the platform;
while the truck that held the baggage
was total wreck, parts of it being
carried far up the track by the i'm
pact. No. II finally left Augusta for
Bangor at 324 P. NJ. while No. 4
steamed out for Portland at 315.
