Cured in Matamoros Wednesday
morning but it was not until IL
o'clock Wednesday night when
Garza crossed into the United States,
that the details became known.
Garza'se story also revealed the fact

the effect that he (Longoria) had
conspired to murder Arturo Guerra.
These and other relatives Of the de-
ceased claimed that Natividad Cara,
then in the Matamoros Jail, had told
them this.
Natividad Cara was brought be-
fore the court and denied that he
had ever told onyone anything about
the case. He said that he knew
nothing Of the case except what the
Brownsville papers had published
Longoria likewise denied knowledge
of the case other than the informa-
tion published and informed tha
court that he had no connection
whatever with the killing of the
smuggler. The case was continued
until Tuesday. Garza was placed in
jail and Longoria was returned to
the American side.
CARA declared in his story, tsld
from his bed in Mercy Hospital,
that he again was about to be brought
before the court Wednesday morn
ing when Guerra grabbed him and
threw him to the floor of the Jail
after asking him what he was going
to say in court. The judge ques-
toned CARA but not in connection
with the shooting on the river In
which Arturo Guerra was killed.
Cara was ordered released and
he asked for police protection as far
as the ferry. This was refused him .
but the authoritorIes promised to al

so that he could return more safely.

American officers were driven To-
cover by rifle shots and when they
returned with re-enforcements they
found the BODY had been taken to the
Mexican side.
CARA was born in Gonzales and
had gone to school in Brownsville.
ID. w. Brewster, United Sttaes Inn
migration chief, in a statement after
details of the affair were learned,
said that Longoria had no connection
with the supervision of the move
ments Of officers in the service or
had any authority over the patrol
force and that he was in no way re-
sponsible for the death OF Guerra
who was killed while resisting ar
rest.

from 80 to 81 musicians. He said
also that he had refused to renew his

His resignation, Jacchia said, was

1t Is not safe to Judge a fighter on

Dempsey said he would let the

next Tuesday. He said he wanteu
that day for himself.
Very few Of the experts agree on
anything in this camp. Some OF
them coming from Stroudsburg say
1t is a shame to toss nice fellow
like Tunney into the ring with a
killer like Dempsey. and others say
Tunney will furnish the biggest
surprise in, the history Of boxing.
Some say the trains will be pulling
out of Philadelphia by 1915, and
others say the fight will go the limit.
The opinion as to Dempsey's con.

The Unusual Happens When

Star, Cochet.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
FOREST HILLS, n. Y, Sept. II.
Vincent Richards today went into
the semi-fnals of the National mems
singles tennis championships. the
sole representative of the United
States.
One by one the three French sters
|-Lacoste, Borotra and Cochet
moved down the7best tennis skill the
United States could offer; they
ctr1ck a crushing blow by Cochet's
defeat of the great Bill Tilden yes
terday; and today those three and
Richards made up the quartet from
which two will emerge as finalists
for, the American title.
Not in eight years has the sport
ing world seen such an event as
took place Thursday when Cochet
crushed Tilden.
The tall, slender American, who
never before had failed to answer
an opponents challenge in cham
ionship play since he assembled the
tennis throne six years ago, made a
gallant effort, but Cochst was too
fast and strong. "
Tilden, with the score two all,
went into the final set to win. He
forgot his injured leg which had
given him trouble. He became the
Tilden who time after time has
thrilled the stands with his tennis,
saving himself from impending de-
feat. He carried the score to all
and then to 6 all.
But that was the best he could
do. Cochet was everywhere There
didn't seem to be a place on the
court where the Frenchman could
not reach the ball to return it with
amazing speed and accuracy. Tilden
put all his power into his service,
but Cochet shot the ball back with
cool elaboration that would have
taken all the fight out of any one
but Tilden.
When the set ended Sc and the
champion had been dethroned, there,
was a cheer from the gallery, Wild
er than has gone up on most OF the
Tilden victories of the past. The
crowd realized that Tilden had gone
but that he had made a glorious
fight.
Today Cochet was to meet his fel.
low countryman. Rene Lacoste.
while Richards must defeat Jean

States is not to witness an all
French final round.
