YaQuiS Made Goats
For Mex's MisdOings

Ell Paso, Texas, July 9.-Yaqui In
dian depradations in the Mexican
border states are becoming more
but not all acts of boundary
in the Yaqui country can be laid at
the doors of the Indians, according
to advices reaching here from So
nora. ut is a case of giving a dog
bad name and hanging him." an
American reported, who is familiar
with the marauding activities of the
sYaquis.
1t is the custom in Sonora, he
said, for Mexicans to shout "Yaqui," /"
whenever foreigner has been kill
led in isolated territory or whenever
a fragrant violation of Mexican law
has been committed anywhere in the
section where Yaquis' may be found.
This is supposed to impress the Wis
itor with the idea that real Mexican
banditry exists largely in the imagi-
nations of outsiders. Hence, the
'Yaqui is blamed for violent acts
whether he was responsible or not.
Yaqui and Mexican bandit bands
are both active and it is said to be
impossible to tell which is guilty Of
various reported raids, robberies and
murders.

Thus far the fleet has covered an

these, 45 per cent have been account

The lnnd on which the Equitable
building stands, and the territory
around and about 1t, Is Of sacred mem
ory so far ms early American history
is concerned. Just across the way on
Broadway was Burns coffee house,
where the Revolution really started.
Here was erected at n later date the
City hotel, the scene of many memoir

OF the republic.
On the northeast corner of Nassau
and Cedar streets is a bronze tablet

At which time the post office moved

Hall park.
On the site of the present subtrens-
ury, at Pine, Nassau and Wall streets.
anew city hall was erected In 1899. In
front Of the building was cage for
criminals, with whipping post and
stocks-but not the kind of stocks they
sell there now. When independence
was declared the building became the
capitol and was called Federal hall.
Here the Declaration of Independence
was read from the steps in l776, and
here also Washington was inaugurated
first president of the United States, In
'1779.
The wide strip Of pavement on the
west side-of Nassau street in front OF
the Bankers Trust building bears evil
dence of the former existence of Fed
eral hall. The latter extended across
Nassau street to the building line OF
the street and so closed the thorough
fare that a passageway was estab-
llshed around the building in order
that pedestrians might more readily
get to Nassau street When the sub
treasury was built In 1886 on the site
of Federal hall, Nassau street was
opened to Wall street. and the little
passageway was left, and forms the
wide sidewalk Of today.-Equitable
