the next one more. Now, to be square
with all his customers and charge no one
more than the just amount, he carries
with him his alarm clock. which he keeps

SIX HURT WHEN BEE
STINCS AUTOIST'S KNEE
Car Dives Through Fence and
Crashes Against Tree.

A busy bee settled on the knee Of
Sidney Brewster as he drove his
fathers automobile, containing three
women and two men friends along the
road near Syosset, Long Island, yester-
day. The car was going forty miles
an hour, but the impulsive Mr.. Brew
ster removed his cap TO swat the little
bee. In quick succession these things
happened:
The automobile bolted across the
road and dashed through a picket
fence.
Three women and three men were
hurled from their seats across Samuel
HARNESS lawn.
The automobile, continuing across
the lawn, hit big pine tree and split
1t almost in half and wrecked itself.
When the young folks were carried
into the Karnes home it was discovered
that Miss Catherine Hall, of Manhat
tan, had a broken leg. Another young
woman and all che young men were
cut BY glass from the windshield.
Brewster's mother, informed by tele-
phone of the accident, summoned physi-
clans and later took all the party TO
her home in another automobile. They
are guests over the weekend at the
Brewster home.

according to official statements to-day
of Ives G. Lelevier, Mexican Consul
here, preparatory to repelling any at,

The garrison at Aqua Prieta, com

SAYS ENGINEER TRIED
TO BLOW UP VESSEL
Captain Found Fires Under the
Empty Boilers Just in Time.

Charged with disorderly conduct,
Francisco Cecocinni, forty-one years
old, engineer OF the ship Mary f., tied
up at the Lehigh Valley dock at Pier A,
Jersey City, was locked up Friday night
in the Communipaw Avenue station by
the Jersey City police.
Cecocinni had been in irons for thir-
ty-fve days before the vessel docked
after a six weeks trip from Buenos
Ayres with a cargo of quebracho
wood, said to be used in munition
manufacture. According TO Captain
Frank Hunter, Cecocinni had attempted
TO blow up the boat of the coast OF
Brazil. near Para. About o'clock one
morning the ships cook smelled smoke,
and, thinking the ship was on fire, gave
an alarm. Investigation revealed q
Are in all the furnaces and no water
In the boilers. The engineer was found
hiding In the forward part of the ves-
sci and was put in irons.
When the Mary +. reached port
Thursday Captain Hunter did not re-
port the case TO the Jersey City police,
but attempted to get a Federal war
ran from the United States Commits
sioner in Newark. Meantime Italian
dock laborers heard fellow country
man was in irons on the boat, and they
attempted 10 rescue him. Captain
Hunters crew met the raiding party
with drawn revolvers and quieted them.
Lieutenant Collins, of the Communi-
paw Avenue station, learned Of the af-
fair, and with Patrolman Milton went
to the ship and arrested Cecocinni. He
will be held pending action by the
United States authorities.

Dual Oath Causing Hitch
in liberalization of
National Guard.
ALL GOVERNORS
TOLD OF CONDITION
Kansas Troops Only Ones That
Have Complied with the
New Law.

Washington, June 17.-So far as
known the War Department has taken
no additional steps toward modelling
the national guard. A peculiar situa-
ton has arisen as a result Of the fact
that the new army bill providing for
liberalization Of the militia will 20
into effect July 1, automatically re-
pealing the present militia law.
The new act requires state troops
who participate in Federal appropria-
tons to take a dual oath OF allegiance.
Only the Kansas guard now Is required
to take such an oath, and unless all
the remaining units take the require !
oath before July J. legal hiatus will
occur in their status which may prove
embarrassing.
The attention Of all Governors has
been called TO this condition, and they
have been urged to see that their men
are promptly sworn in in accordance
with tho new law. This correspondence
is said to have led TO reports that the
guard Of various states had been called
for active service on the border.
The 4sth and the l4lst companies Of
the Coast Artillery Corps left Boston
to-day for Fort Sam Houston, Tex.
where they will report to General
Funston for duty on the border. The
companies, which were in command of
Captain Carl o. Zollers and Lieutenant
]. C. Nichols, respectively, comprised
1873 men.
It became known to-day that several
ermy transports are being held in
readiness for use as refugee ships
should the need arise. Whether any
actually have been ordered to Mexican
waters officials would not say. The
navy transport Hancock will go 10 Vera
Cruz. however, as soon as she lands
her marine passengers in Santo Do
mireo. She should reach Vera Cruz IN
The army transport Sumner, laid up
at Newport News, Va, was ordered
into commission to-day, but officials
said there was no truth in reports that
she was about TO sail.
The destroyer tender Panther and
number of destroyers have been or
dered to Key West, ready for a quick
dash to the relief of Americans along
the coast. It is understood also that
other navy craft are being prepared
for emergency use, although plans have
been carefully guarded.
Official advices have indicated that
the recent border raids have created
great excitement in the American col
ony in Mexico City. Many Americans
are said TO be preparing to leave.
There are approximately 1000 Amer
leans in the Mexican capital and 1900
In and about Tampico.

ARRESTED IN EFFORT
TO DINE WITH WOMEN
Lawyer Asked Passersby to Eat
with Him, Says Policeman.

A polite but determined head waiter
stopped Irving Wsshburne, q lawyer,
when he attempted to enter the ladies'
dining room Of the CRUDE restaurant at
Seventh Avenue and Twenty-third
Street, last night.
Gentlemen may dine on this side OF
the restaurant only when accompanied
by ladies'" the waiter said.
"All right, I'll fix that soon enough"
the lawyer replied.
And, if Patrolman MeConnelley's
story is 20 be believed, the lawyer did
everything that a man could DO 10
remedy the situation. He said that the
lawyer had stepped into the street and
invited every womsn who passed the
place 10 dine with him. He had failed
TO find hungry woman when the pa
trolman appeared and interrupted the
proceeding by taking him to Night
Court.
Suddenly confronted with the task OF
acting as lawyer and client rolled into
one, Washburne succeeded in having
the hearing delayed until tonight
