Nogales; AriZ., Oct. 31.-LouiS Loos,
American, connected with the Nogales
Hardware company, was arrested by
department of justice officers in con-
nectiOn with the alleged conspiracy to-
furnish arms and ammunition to Lee
galista Mexicans.
The arrest of LOos, following that
of Charles Kisszelbach, a naturalized
German, and Guillarmo Ruarmo Bar
nett, all of the Nogales Hardware COM
pany, together with Eduardo Rasirez,
q Legalista agent and another Next
can, supposedly backs up the warning
given out by Secretary of War Baker
that q plot existed to bring about am
other border raid by MeXicans before
the presidential election, November z.
Barnett, Mexican subject, said to
be MeXican-English half-caSte, was
not executed summarily at sun-up, as
threatened by Mexican officials. Bar
nett was arrested in NOgales, Sonora,
on the Mexican side, and imprisoned
there. On the intercession of Ameri-
can department of justice agents that
Barnett be not executed until they had
gone TO the bottom of the alleged con-
spiracy, Barnett's life was spared by
the MeXicanS.
New York, Oct. 31.-Luis Cabrera,
Joint commission, said here that he did
not authorize the statement issued by
the Mexican news bureau in Washing
ton assailing American officials for al
legged laxity in dealing with anti-Car-
rama propaganda in districts along the
border. A representative of the Next
can news bureau conferred with the
Mexican members of the joint body in
Atlantic City recently, Mr.. Cabrera
added, and probably carried back with
him to Washington the impression that
the Mexican commissioners were of the
opinion that the United States should
adopt firmer attitude toward anti
Carranza propagandists.
Washington, Oct. 31.-Luis Cabrera,
chairman of the Mexican commission
TO the United States, made public a
scathing denunciation of the failure of
the United States to keep order along
the Mexican border.
Cabrera asserted, substantially.
among other things, that, although the
United States government has at it's
disposition sufficient laws to make it
possible TO maintain order on the Dor
der, the government is not enforcing
these laws.
The Mexican commissioner asserted
that scores of conspiratOrs are at work
along the border In plots menacing the
peace of the United States, and that
these conspirators are known.

MExICANS FEAR VILLA;
FLEE CHIHUAHUA CITY
Residents Leave Capital After Warn
ing by General Trevino-Villistas
on Way to City.

Sarf Antonio, Tex, Oct. 27.-Gen ia
cinto Trevino, commandant of the Chi
huahua garrison, has issued warning
to residents to leave the city, accord
ing to a report that reached army
headquarters from Gen. George Bell
1T Ell PasO. General Bell said Mrs.
Trevino was among the many refugees
who have arrived at Eel Paso from
Chihuahua.
Washington, Oct. 27.-Following re-
ceipt of a San Fra cisco bulletin say
ing that apparently authentic reports
there were to the effect that Chihua-
hua City was taken by VILLA General
Gonzales at Juarez announced the re-
ceipt of a message from Gen. Jacinto
Trevino at Chihuahua City stating
that all was quiet there.
General Bells report on the situa-
ton at Chihuahua follows:
Following telegram was received
from Chihuahua last evening:
Carnival about 1000 men from the
south have made local conditions
more secure for the present. Add
tional forces are expected from the
south
This morning persons who arrived
from Chihuahua state General Ire
vino had a train made up to take to
Juarez the families of all government
officials, including his own family,
which arrived Tuesday night. The
train left Chihuahua at 9 a. m. and
was escorted by two military trains,
one preceding and one following, as
it was feared the Villistas would at
tack the train while en- route.
Before departure of the regular
passenger train, General Trevino con-
fidentially advised certain parties to
get their families out of Chihuahua at
once as while he had plenty of men,
he was short of ammunition and
thought he would have to evacuate
Chihuahua panic-stricken. Passen-
gers say that General Haycotte had
arrived with four trains of troops and
that it was reported that there were
IA more trains on the way to Chihua-
hua which are due to arrive"

FIGHTING MAN is ADMIRED
Successful Military Record Has Put
Many a Candidate Into Office iii
the United States.

can interesting and possibly peril
nent fact to be remembered in consid-
ering national sentiment is that the
successful warrior has cast his spell
over us as he has over other nations
since the dawn of history. The Unit
ed States is q, country devoted to
ideals of peace, but war presidents
elected by the people would have gov
erned about half the time had not
death interviewed. Peace, like heaven,
seems indeed a hypothetical state of
bliss, 1audable and longed-for in the
DRY, but secretly feared as deadly dull
to live in. In his autobiography,
General Scott sets forth the idea that
men at heart adore fighting, and to
prove it asserts that he had been told
by Revolutionary worthless that Jeffer-
son, brilliant and successful though
he was, felt himself diScredited and i'll
at ease in the presence of Washington,
not because of Washington's calm dig
nifty and great wisdom, but because OF
his military record, and that it was
Cn1S 'palD1uI sense OF 1HIerlOrIIy lLltL
forced him into political opposition. 1t
is an interesting theory; and it must
be confessed that we find a military
record a valuable asset in any walk
of life. 1t would make curious reading
could q table be compiled that would
show how many candidates for office,
from coroner to president, have been
helped up the political ladder by bay
Onet and carbine.
perhaps the real reason is that Sue
cessful military record presupposes
fearlessness and ability to strike out
from the shoulder, qualities that have
always had their fascination for us.
We have done not a little in the way
of hero-worship in the United States,
but we have done much more in wor-
Shipping the heroic spirit, and the adj
miration of which we have been lavish
has been most freely offered before
the shrine of pure motive and high
ideal."-Century Magazine.

WASHINGTON Is TOLD THAT
VILLA PLANS NEW RAIDS
Secretary of War Baker Charges At
tempt to Turn Election Senti-
ment in u. S.

Washington, Oct. Is Secretary
Thursday saying that definite informa-
ton had been received by the war de-
partment that a bandit attack upon
American troops i'll Mexico or on an
American border town had been ar
ranged to take place between now and
election day to create sentiment
against the administrations Mexican
policy. 1t added that Generals Fun
stOn and Pershing were forewarned
and in readiness for such an attack.
The statement follows:
1.-THE war department has received
definite information, confirmed from
other sources, that enemies of the ad
ministration's policy toward Mexico, in
cooperation with Villa or other ban
dts in Mexico, have arranged spec
tacular attack to be made either upon
some part of the American forces or
upon some American community on
the border between now and the date
of the election for the purpose of turn
ing the tide of sentiment against the
policy which the administration has
adopted for the projection of the bor-
der.
1T is significant in this connection
that both the state and war depart
ments were advised that the bandit
forces operating at the present time
in Mexico are being paid in silver
coin.
Full particulars have been trans
mitted to General Funston and Gen
eral Pershing. All American forces
are therefore forewarned and in readi
ness for such an attack"

BlOuses

THE love of outdoor life has grown
and is growing with such ra-
a pidity in this land of ours, that
greater and greater attention IS being
paid to suitable costumes tor this
sport and for that. Dealers have been
very quick to seize upon the idea and
to put forth great many attractive
costumes labelled Sports" Some
few of them are really practical and
they. might be worn during the game
of golf or tennis, but the greater
number belong to the spectators
rather than to the participant and
should rather be called spectators,
costumes than sports costumes. they
are pretty, they are attractive, they
are picturesque and they will add
greatly to the pictures OF summer lite,
but women who love the game, for the
games sake, who play golf with zeal,
who enjoy the game OF tennis tor Its
exercise and its health giving pro-
perties wear costumes that allow the
freest of movement, that will not
hamper in any way. Tramping over
damp meadows in pursuit OF the golt
ball, calls rather for skirt Of sturdy
material than dainty silk, and suit
ability is, after all, the first requisite
of really good dressing The so
called sports" costumes are pretty
and attractive and they will undoubted-
" be much worn at the summer resorts.
They do indeed make ideal costumes
for morning wear. Whether one walks
or motors or whether one sits on the
piazza or visits the Country Club, the
costume is correct. The materials
are comfortable and satisfactory from
that point of view and the styles are so
generally becoming that they are
real boom. The actual lover OF the
outdoor games, however, chooses, very
\ different garments and thinks tar more
of the sport than of the costume. The
skating fad of the winter brought
forth a great many picturesque and
striking effects, but a visit to the winter
resorts where the outdoor skating was
enioyed to the FULL was quick to reveal
the fact that the greatest enthusiasts,
the most eager skaters, were tar more
intent upon going upon the ice and
enjoying it, than upon the costume
they wore. The latter must be COM
Portable, they must serve the purpose
and they must be suitable, but no
woman who really is an enthusiast in
the matter of outdoor life, consents to
devote all the time and consideration
to the selection Of her clothing that
the general display of so called
sports" costumes would suggest.
