Mexican Bandits
Cut OFF Hands of
Brother Captiyes
Scores of Young Men, Vic
Tins Of Rebel Barbarity,
Are Forced Into Lives
of Beggary.
By LOUIS P. KIRBY.

Mexico City, Mex, Oct. 10
Scores of young. men, Some of them
little more than boys, with both
hands cut off, are living reminders o.
the barbarities practiced during the
recent revolutions in Mexico. They
are condemned to life of beggary,
and are among the multitude Of beg.
gars< soliciting aims if the streets Of
this city and elsewhere throughout
the country.
They were mutilated by bards Of
brigands calling themselves r1eolu.
tionists. The most active of the ban
dit-rebels in the work of mutilatior
it is said, were the Zapatistas.N
1t was the usual thing to hang CAP
tured members of an enemy force.
The men whose hands were cut off
were usually laborers engaged in the
work of repairing damage to the raj,
roads and other property wrought by
the rebels.
When the roadroad track was torn
up the government would send bands
of laborers to make repairs. Some of
these laborers fell into the hands os
the rebels. Many intaddition to. hav.
ing both hands cut off lost both
ears under the knives of their cap
tors.
Without hands, the unfortunate
men have been unable to earn liv-'
ing by labor. It is even impossible
for them to receive aims in the usual
way, and the charitable must drop
their gifts into the pockets of the
mendicants.
As most of these manned men are
young, their appeals for aid will
probably keep fresh in mind the hor-
'rors Of %he revolutions for manv
years to come.

"Kimbing Kate Shod
>. With Miller Tires

In southern California there is a
passenger touring car which has
been called "K1imbing Kate" In its
travels the car has covered a consid-
erable portioH-of California, particu-
larly in the mountain4section.
Besides two round Atrips up the
coast, the car has visited Lake Tahoe
three times, beer to Big Bear Valley
once, and made very strenuous
trip through the Sequoia national
park.
"In\ "Kate's" travels she is shod
with Miller tires-the original
equipment. The car has crossed the
Sierra Nevadas at least seven times
at attitudes of from 1000 to 5000
feet. Adding together the various
attitudes at the SUBMITS crossed.
and taking into consideration only
those that have exceeded 1900 feet,
we have total altitude record of
approximately 80 miles.

These ingredients are melted to

Battery Advice Too Common,
Service Station Man Saws

Battery advice is free" says FL
mer Rosengren of the Nebraska
Storage Battery company, "and like
all free products it is drug on the
market. 1t is estimated that if a
car owner would try to do all the
things suggested by the trade papers,
the car builders and the battery
manufacturers, he would have no
time to drive, to attend to business
or keep up speaking ACQUAINTANCE
with his family. y
"As matter of fact, battery
does not need a great deal of care,
and the average driver gets good
results by putting in little water
every week or so, and making regular
calls at fhe service station"

William Jennings Bryan Declares
Time Is Near When Government
Will Have to Act.

Washington, Sept. 27.-William Jen-
nings Bryan in an address before the
international Congress Against Alco-
holiSm, declared he believed the time
was not far distant when, to prevent
leaks" in enforcement of the eight
zenith amendment the government
would have to take over all stocks of
alcohol in whatever FORM" and de-
clare a monopoly of alcohol manufac-
ture. Declaring against any "discrim-
nation" i'll favor of beer and wine
MIR. Bryan said: ave are no more in
favor of wine and beer than alcohol in
any other form. The men who made
beer have been a greater corrupting
influence in this country than the men
who made whisky. They have worked
hand-in-hand, and now that they are to
die we shall not separate them in
death" Permanently of prohibition in
America is assured, Mr.. Bryan de-
clared, by the fact that it was not a
sectional or party achievement, but a
victory of the nation" The future
task of prohibitionists, he asserted,
lies in the cultivation of total alb

Humanity Flows to the U. S.
Shores by Thousands
ALL BIG SHIPS ARE FILLED
Europe Again Piping Its Worn and
Molly Peasantry to the Land of
Promise-AiI Records Broken
Last Week.

! New York, Sept. 2T.-Once again
a suffering, congested Europe is piping
its worn and motley peasantry TO the
United States. Not record OF ancient
nations is in existence which can tell a
tale of such flow of humanity.
From Italy is heard the report that
no less than million have booked
passage for the dreamiand. Wherever
liner docks in Europe sweaty peas
ants, burdened with striped and shape
less baggage, wind their way into the
Steerage. In every nation the poor are
forsaking the reality of their own soil
for the dream of America, free golden
America.
Emigrants Disseminated.
When the war was over there was a
scampering for passports and a flock
ing back to the homeland of immi-
grants of prewar days, Polish, Italian,
.CZecho-Slovak, Irish and BritiSh-all,
hungering for a breath of mother soil,
departed. But it is not what once it
was over there, and they are coming
back, Disseminated. These form a
goodly part of the steerage population.
The tide of immigrants has swelled
week by week until last week the
brusque but kindly gates by which all
aSpirantS for entrance must pass
cIogged and choked. Five giant liners
attempted to unload their human car
goes ON the island at once. The bikes
were down, as it were, and Ellis island
was jammed. So an embargo was i'm
posed. For As hours no bright-eyed inn
migrant climbed down on the island
from Steerage gangway.
Those that had landed were packed
into the narrow sleeping quarters. The
island is a tight little island in any
event, and the quarters were never
meant to accommodate thousands.
A curious body might tiptoe into the
quarters at night. They are sleeping
tight against one another, legs flung
out and twiSted one over the other in
an indeeipherable tangle.

Admissions Are Denied
Although Shakman denied many of
the admissions he made following his

would have paralyZed industry and
transportation in the central West.
