THREATENS BORDER CrrY

Ell Paso, Tex, Sept. lo.--Morc than
100 Mexican refugees who fed Chi.
huahua City following Villas attack
last Saturday arrived in Juarez to-
day, bringing with them their fami'
lies and their household goods. Most
of the arrivals expressed the intention
of crossing into the United States
in search Of work.
Earlier reports placing the Villa
losses at between 200 and $50 were
borne out by the arrivals, who also
estimated the Carranza casualties va
riously from 200 to 800. An Amer
lean mining operator, who passed
through Chihuahua City on his way
from Zacatecss, said that he had been
told that the government troops lost
about 400 men.
American military reports here to-
day indicated that during the attack
a number of the members of the gar.
rison joined Villa and that he since
has been joined by several independ-
ent leaders.
An air of subdued excitement was
manifest in Juarez today. Cavalry
patrolled the railroad south Of the
town and artillery and field pieces
were mounted on the hills to, the
south. General Francisco Gonzales
denied, however, that any fears that
Villa may attack the town are enter
tanned. He added that no reports had
been received in Juarez from the force
under General Matias Ramos, which
is pursuing the bandit chieftain into
the Santa Clara canyon district.
A story current in Chihuahua City,
according to arrivals, is that on his
retreat, Villa captured peon and or
dered him to say to General Jacinto
Trevino on his return: villa says
next time he comes after you he'll
drop out of the sky, but first he is
going to Juarez to drive the garrison
there into the Rio Grande.'"

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. l9.-Charges
against thxee of the seven members
OF the alleged $l,OOO,OOO band Of black
mailers were dropped when they were
granted a preliminary hearing before
United States Commissioner Foote
today.
Lack of evidence to hold them, it
was said, prompted the action, which
was requested by Charles F. Clyne,
United States district attorney. Those
released were:
Mrs. Frances Allen, alias Chap
man; Mrs. Edward Donahue and
George Bland.
The charges against Edward Dona-
hue, Henry Russell, Mrs. Helen Evers,
alleged ring-leaders of the band, and
James Christian were continued un-
til Friday.
Michael L. Igoe, assistant United
States district attorney, said that Mrs
Regina Klipper, Philadelphia di-
vorcee, who declares she was black
mailed by the band, identified the four
defendants held. She was unable,
however, to identify those released.
Mrs. Regina Klipper, a divorcee OF
Philadelphia, the governments chief
witness, arrived early in the day un-
der guard of federal agents to ap-
pear against the alleged blackmailers.
Hinton G. Clabaugh of the United
States Department of Justice, said he
was confident Mrs. Klipper would
identify Edward Donahue, Henry
Russell and Mrs. Helen Evers as di-
rectors of the organization.
"The case against the others under
arrest" Clabaugh said, "is doubtful. !
am satisfied, however, of the guilt of
the first three"
Russell, Donahue and Mrs. Evers
are held under bail of $4,000 each.
James Christians bonds was fixed at
$4,000.
Mrs. Klipper is the sole woman Of
the scores believed to be victims of
the syndicate, who is willing to tell
how shewas fleeced. She declares she
was placed in a compromising posi-
ton in New York hotel by MEM
bers Of the band last January, black
mailed out of sum reported to be
less than 81 600 and some jewelry and
later kidnapped and held prisoner in
Montreal when she threatened prose-
cution,

GENERAL STRIKE
THREAT RENEWED
Mayor Mitchell Calls Business
Mems Association Into Con-
ference to Avert Walkout.
MR.. sHoNTs STANDS PAT

New York, Sept. lo.-An effort by
committee representing business in.
terests to settle the city's transit
strike and avert general sympathetic
labor strike failed late today when
Theodore P. Shonts, president Of the
Interborough Rapid Transit company
refused to consider a plan suggested
by the committee to reopen negotia-
tions with the street car employees.
Mr.. Shonts informed the commit
tee, which went to his office from
a, conference with Mayor John P.
Mitchell, that there is no strike on
the Interborough.n He asserted that
the company was handling the situa-
ton without difficulty, thanks to Our
1000 loyal men"
In view of Mfr. Shonts' attitude,
the committee explained, announce
ment OF the suggestions made to him
was withheld. 1t was further stated
that the committee would not put its
plan before the union leaders, but that
a meeting of business interests would
be held tomorrow in the hope Of
evolving some new means OF bringing
about an adjustment before Friday,
the day set for calling a general strike.
Mayor Mitchell called into CONFER
ence today representatives OF the
Chamber of Commerce and Mer-
chants association to try to avert the
threatened strike of 100000 workers
in this city in sympathy with the
street railway employees. The mayor
has received warning from the labor
leaders that unless he and the conf
mittee of business men settled the
carmen's strike by Thursday night a
general walkout OF virtually all the
labor unions in this city and vicinity
will be ordered.
100000 Vote to Quit.
Representatives OF about thirty
unions united in calling upon their
organizations to strike If settlement
with the transit companies were not
forthcoming. The unions asked to
take this action included 100000
members of the United Hebrew
Trades, 5000 stationary engineers
and firemen, 1000 longshoremen, TO-
900 subway builders, 100 masters,
mates and pilots, 10000 teamsters,
5000 tidewater boatmen and $4,000
machinists.
Members OF the United Hebrew
Trades, the longshoremen and boat
men already have voted to strike, it
is announced.
No plan has been proposed for the
consideration of the mayor and the
business mems committee. Presi-
dent Shonts of the Interborough
Rapid Transit company, said it
seemed absurd to negotiate further
and that the company would have no
further dealings with the Garments
union, but was willing to consider
any proposition from the mayor.
Strike Extends to Queens.
The street railway strike was ex-
tended to Queens county early today,
when many conductors and motor
men of the New York G. Queens
County railroad went out in protest
against the use OF their members to
operate cars and break the strike in
Manhattan. Union leaders asserted
that fourteen street car lines in
0ueeue county were tied i'm

CANADIANS MAKE
GOOD IN BATTLE
British Commanders Discover
} Men from This Continent
Have Great Initiative.
RIDES IN TANK

British Front in France, Sept. 49,
(Via London, Sept. lo)-The most
dramatic and picturesque battle of
the British army in all its two years
in France was fought on September
Is. Here is the story of how all
kinds of men from the ends of the
earth took part in this mighty con-
flict.
In the same dressing station this
week the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press has seen Canadians, New
Zealanders, English, Scotch, Irish,
New Foundlanders and Americans.
There were some of the men of many
countries who took part in the now
historic battle and with them there
went into action those armored mo-
tor cars called tanks" which are to
the credit of a quiet officer of engi-
neers. When the correspondent met
this officer in London six months
ago and asked him what job he was
now on he replied: "Sh, sh; don't
tell" 1t was the tanks" that COM
pleted the wonderful business of this
battle. Today when the correspon-
dent was calling on Canadian briga-
dier it was tank" called the Cor
don rouge" looking like a prehis-
toric monster in a skin of modern
armor and with engines inside which
took him across the field of shell
craters. weaving its way with
pythonic adaptablity by all Irregular
tiles up to the door of the brigadier's
dugout. ..
The skipper of "the Gordon rouge"
aliphted and with phleamatic drawl
announced that he reported for fur
ther orders. The brigader laughingly
bade him not to start the brute down
the stairs of the dugout, but move it
to one side and wait. So the tank"
ambled with the bulky leisure OF a
over some more shell
craters TO a place where it would be
out of the way until it was needed.
