PEARSON PEOPLE
MAY COME HERE
Although rebels have torn up the
Mexico North "Western "railway pre-
venting any federal troop movements
by rair no attack has been made op
any town along the line according to
officials of the road today. The only
motive in the destruction of the Amer- i
lean and Canadian owned road appears
to be to prevent any movement Into
the district south or this point of the
federal troops which are planning to
move through the United States from
Ciudad Porfirlo Diaz to Juarez by way
of Eagle Pass and El Paso Tex.
Trainmen 3fade Prisoners.
A Mexico North "Western work train
was captured by rebels Thursday night
near Aguaje 325 kilometers south of
Juarez engineer Holmes and conductor
Caine were taken prisoners the engineer
forced to open the throttle and run the
engine" and three" cars of ties down the
Incline. The engineer jumped from the
cab after he had started the engine
which was derailed two kilometers
further down the road and after turn-
ing over twice landed in the bottom of
an arroyo.
Tk three cars of ties were kept on
the main line by the rebels and burned
together with the station" building
water tank and pump house at Aguaje.
The rebels then went two kilometers
further south and burned five .bridges.
Holmes and Caine were held until late
Thursday night when they were re-
leased and allowed to start for Pearson
on a handcar. They were picked up by
an engine which had been sent out from
Pearson to see what the trouble was on
the main line. This engine was fired
at by the rebels at long range.
Arcs River Bridge Burned.
Another band of rebels destroyed "the
30Oeet suspension bridge over the Aros
river Friday cutting the communication
over the Dolores trail to the Dolores
mines. This bridge is six miles west
of Madera. This is the "bridge over
which Rojas went when he left Chihua-
hua for Sonora.
It was announced today that the
railway company at once will begin
reconstruction- of tie three small
trestles and the 200 foot bridge burned
by rebels although the federal troops
are not patroling the line nor nave
they offered any escort for the work
trains. The 1500 federal cavalry in the
district has not srone out to meet the
rebels. thveramCTttro?is'remaiiMf3IjH-Tcg1s Howard Tokt -rancVSman-
ine in the garrisons of the various
towns. What at first waS-a rebel
group of 600 men appears to have
grown materially and spread over al-
most the entire line of the railway.
"With the longest trestle on the line
burned a few days ago the recent de-
struction cripples the railway and
shuts off Juarez from any communica-
tion with the interior of Mexico. Reb-
els for many days have been threaten-
ing to attack Pearson the American
lumbering center on the road and ex-
pected reinforcements evidently have
arrived.
Repairing the Damage.
A "shoo-fly" has been built around
the 196 foot structure between Casas
Grandes and Pearson and traffic con-
tinued over that section of the road.
It Is- expected that today the two
bridges burned "farther south will have
been reconstructed. The. passenger
train -which left Juarez yesterday and
marooned at Pearson by the bridge
burning below Pearson will continue
south and a train will arrive Sunday
at Juarez from the south if no more
bridges are destroyed by the rebels.
Federal Inactlie.
As far as is known the bridge burn-
ing gang of rebels numbered only a.
few men. They did their work in face
of federal garrisons at Pearson and
Casas Grandes. The federals although
knowing of the rebel activity sent out
no detachments of cavalry to prevent
the railway destruction. .Gen. Kabago.
the federal cavalry commander is re-
ported to have returned to Casas
Grandes with about 500 men who
marched overland the other day to the
reilef of Pearson threatened by at-
tack of 600 rebels. These rebels ap-
pear to have been reinforced by small
bands continually arriving from
Sonora.
"What's the KensonT
Motive of the rebel destruction of
the railway may be two-fold in mean-
ing. It may be with Intent to prevent
the movement of federal troops who
expect to go from Ciudad Porfirlo
Diaz to Ciudad Juarez by way of Eagle
Pass and El Paso. It also may be part
of a plan to attack Pearson the Amer-
ican lumbering center where nearly
1000 American men women and chil-
dren live. This Is indicated if there
s any method In the rebels' actions
by the fact that bridges have been I
burned both to the north and iouth of I

tomorrow from Pearson where about
1000 mencan men women and chil-

Judge Browning Refuses to
Grant Plaintiff's Request
of Court.
NO HEARING YET
FOR ACCOMPLICE
Amarillo Tex Sept. 2$. Judge
Browning of the 47th district court
refused J. Beal Sneed bail on his In-
dictment for the murder of Al G.
Boyce jr. In Amarillo Saturday Sep-
tember 14.
This action upon the part of the
court come 'as a great surprise to the
attorneys for the "defence and the
many relatives and friends of the ac-
cused. The action of the court came
almost without any suggestion as to
the course that would be pursued and
there Is a probability of a change of
venue within a short time maybe not
later -than tonight.
This being the last day of the term
the case will be taken to the court of
civil appeals In Austin at once.
The Judge's Opinion.
Following are the court's remarks
in rendering judgment off Sneed's ap-
plication for bail notifying the' spec-
tators that he would hold as contempt
of court any demonstration of ap-
proval or disapproval of his deefsion:
"The defendant is charged by indict-
ment which was offered in evidence
with the offence of murder in the-first
degree and that indictment was fol-
lowed by the testimony of 24 witnesses.
All of the indications of express- malice
was proved. Particles here and there
put together made xhat would be ex-
press malice. The law says that ex-
press malice Is not to be inferred but
must be proved by the- facts and cir-
cumstances or the case and the law
a nofcr attnmov i Vnwt in th
I -" I-- .;. ; .. .
state is familiar with the statute that
says that every person -who with a
sedate mind and formed desltm shall
take the life qf another with malice
aforethought is guilty of murder. Now
malice aforethought as statetL must be
proved and what do they say takes to
prove it? Such indications as lying
in wait in disguise former grudges
preconcerted schemes to take the life
of the Party or do him some serious
bodily Injury. Now these matters with; j
qui entering into lag uetauz ul mei-u
have been Droved that is to jar. they
show all the ear marks of malice 1
aforethought.
"The defendant took up as defence
to show that notwithstanding1' these
things existed that there was an ex
cuse for It. Now the statutes says
wife is adequate cause for passion.
such passion as sudden anger; rage
resentment or terror or anything that
so excites the mind as to render It In-
capaoie 01 cooi rejection ine statute

manslaughter and not murder but the
decisions say that that degree of an
ger rage resentment or sudden re-1
seiiuuem 11 proauces muse oe proven
Like express malice it must be proved.
The law says we cannot and we
know it to be a fact that we cannot
loofc into the heart and mind of the
man to see what his mind was but
we infer it from acts of the person
or words spoken Jiefore at the time
and immediately after the killing-
There is where we ge't at what the
condition of the mind was at the time
so far as express malice is concerned.
When a person commits a crime of
that kind and seeks to- reduce it to
manslaughter he is required both to
a jury and the same to the court under
circumstances of this kind to prove
that there was that condition of the
mind that rendered him incapable of
cool reflection at the time of the kill-
ing. I cannot tell whether it was or
not."
Sneed Sheds Tears.
Tears welled In the eyes of Sneed
yesterday for the first time when his
attorney referred to the once happv
home of the Sneeds and Its alleged
ruin by the man he killed here on Sep-
tember 14. Heretofore Sneed had
listened stolidly unmoved by the argu-
ments of his attorney and the prosecu-
tion. Contrary to expectation arguments
in the habeas corpus proceedings were
not concluded yesterday. The chief
counsel .for the defence began his ar-
gument this morning. At his closing.
Judge Browning denied the applica-
tion for bail for the prisoner.

last night's disorders in which'two men
were killed and one wounded by state
militiamen guarding property of the
local street railway company w.hose
employes are on strike. Fire companies

militia last night and In which the
shooting of three persons' occurred.
The dispatch of these additional
guardsmen was ordered "by governor

situation was critical.
Alfred Dorn and Robert Christie who
were killed and Ben F. Baker who was
wounded are Augusta business men.
Christie was driving an automobile and
the others were in a carriage when
they crossed the "dead line." It Is said
they were in ignorance of the order
limiting traffic in the territory. When
a guard ordered them to stop they
paid no attention.
Charles Wilson his wife and child
in an automobile also were fired on.
but escaped unhurt. Soldiers shot at
a boy on a motorcycle but did not hit
him.

and attracted thousands to the scene.
At the same time great crowds were
assemblying In the mill district which
was the scene of rioting.
Strike leaders pleaded with the men
to go to their homes and finally the
crowds-dispersed.
The immediate cause of the strike
was the objection to certain rules of
the company. Strike leaders say the
company seeKs to destroy the union.

Thousands of Ulster Men
and Women. Take Oath to
Eight "Conspiracy."
GUARDS IN HALL ARE
ARMED WITH STAVES
Belfast Ireland Sept. 28 Sir Edward
Carson today wrote his name as the
first to sign the solemn covenant of the
Ulstermen which binds them to "use
all the means that may be found neces-
sary to defeat the present conspiracy
to set up 'home rule in Ireland" and
also to refuse to recognzie the author-
ity of an Irish parliament He was fol-
lowed by thousands of the rank and
file of the Orangemen and Unionists In
the northern province of Ireland.
The town was gaily decorated the
Union Jack being everywhere pre-
domlnent one huge national flag en-
veloping the facade of .Ulster Hall the
center of today's proceedings.
Most of the shops and all the big In-
dustrial wfcrks were closed so that
j every njaii ueslring to do so "might be
i able to participate in the manifesta-
I tion.
A se.mlrmIJItary aspect was not lack-
ing the meeting as 200 picked stalwart
members of the Unionists clubs and
Orange-lodges wearing bright -sashes
acted as a guard of honor standing
around the .pulpit while 700 of what is
known as the reserve squad occupied
seats in the gallery.
Beresford Is Cheered.
The congregation was unable to re-
strain itself as noteworthy personages
came Into the halL Amonc the first was
lord Charles Beresford who was greet- (-
ed with a loud cheer Capt. James Craig
the Unionist member for East Down
reminded the audience that the service
was a religious one and said Sir Ed-
ward Carson wished it to be looked
upon as such in the real sense of the
word.
When Sir Edward Carson and Fred
erick Smith arrived the people for
getful of the appeal that had been
made again broke into cheers which
continued as the two leaders proceeded
to the platform behind the Orange
flair of the battle of the Bovne.
The service concluded with -the sing-
ing of the national anthem.
The scene around Ulster hall when
Sir Edward Carson proceeded to sign
the covenant was a remarkable -one.
The approach to the hall was lined by a
bodyguard of men wearing sashes and
armlets and carrying -wooden staves.
Other men were posted about the
grounds of the hall much as if they ex-
pected an attack from the nationalists.

Many women sisrned a declaration .
associating themselves with the men of
Ulster in "uncompromising opposition
to the home rule bill."
Blind Mnn Signs Covenant.
After the leaders had signed the hall
was temporarily closed to be opened
later on for the rank and file. Some
of these marched to the hall in a body
while others came singly. A pathetic
incident was the arrival of Sir William
Ewart who took part in the conven-
tion of 1892. As he is blind ha was
led up to the table to sign.
Each man who signed was given a
souvenir of the occasion in the form of
a miniature copy of the covenant to
which also his signature was attached.
In the course of the day Sir Edward
Carson received many messages con-
veyed by dispatch riders and the sig-
naling corps from all parts of the
province of Ulster. Informing him of
the progress that was being made.
A message from the lord primates was
received and publicly read. It said:
"May God give you strength and
wisdom to guide aright Ireland's faith-
ful sons in trying to save our beloved
national land from degradation disas-
ter religious strife and civil war."

Two Senators Believe United'
States Army Should Oc-
cupy the Country.
WOULD RESTORE
PEACE THIS WAY
"All Orozco Needed for Sue-
cess Was Arms as Maderd
Got in United States."
Los Angles. OaL Sept. 28. Havm
beard testimony from 500 witnesses it
is believed the report of senators "Wil-i
liam Alden Smith and Albert B. Fall
who have been investigating affairs in
connection with the Mexico revolution?
will hold that the evidence adduced
points to the necessity for the United
States to intervene in Mexico in order
that Americans and American interests
receive proper protection.
While members of the committee are
non-committal as to the subject matter
of tne report they will submit to Ilia
senate committee of foreign relations
senator Smith says that it will embody
evidence showing that since the becni-
nine of the Madero revolution large
quantities of munitions of war have
been shipped into Mexico acros stae
American border.
The committee has been in continuous
session since Septmber 1 at which timo
the senators left Washington. The in-
ves.tieu.tor3 scent ten davs in El Pao
gathering facts and ten days' In Lo-j
Angeies. Xhe remainder of the time im
been taken up in travelinff.
The interrogators have taken tesn-
inony of 590. The testimonl coe.s
more than 500 typewritten pages. TTm
transcribed notes will be attached to
the committee's report to the senate.
Orozco Is Handicapped.
SpeaMn'r of the testimony today sen-
ator Smith said:
"The testimony ol every Mexican nhou:
we interrogated agrees upon this ono
point: That if arms ammunition and
supplies needed in warfare were per-
mitted to enter to the country during
the Orozco rebellion the same as thev
j were durinjr the Madero revolution
urozco wouia nave oeen in Mexico (Jitv
long ago. The rigid enforcement of the
law against the admission into. Mexico
of firearms and ammunition has beeir
Orozco's creatcst handicap."
Analyzed the evidence shows that dur-
ing the past two years 10000000 rounds
of ammunition went into Mexico from
El Paso and 80000 rounds from Los An.
celes. It also shows that from El Paso
40000 rifles bad been sent across the
border. It was further shown that more
than 500 tons of dynamite had been
shipped into Mexico durinsr the revolu-
tionary .periods. The dynamite has been
used for mining as well as for the Wow-
ing up of bridges- 2fo dynamite is per-
mitted to go into Mexico at the present
time.
American Funds Aided Madero
"A lanre percentage of total amount
of firearms ammunition and dyna-
mite" said senator Fall "went into the
republic during tbe Madero revolution-"
It is said the evidence proves con-
clusively that no American money was
used in financing the Orozco revolution
but that American funds were used in
tft. Madero revolution.

Jit is possible that while in El Pa3o en
route additional evidence tending to
prove that American monev was used
in the Madero revolution will be secured.
Senator Smith will ioin senator Fall
eitier in El Paso or Washington. The
committee has until January 4 to file
its report but the findines will be
transmitted to the foreign relations
committee with as little delay as pos-
sible. FELIX DIAZ JUNTA
IS THE LATEST HERE
Former Followers of Ororco and Cornea
Are Xott Talking DIa or
de In Barra for President.
Juntas continue to spring up in El
Paso with every new shift in the Mexi-
can political situation. The newest
junta which El Paso has fostered is a
Felix Diaz-Calero-de la Barra organiza-
tion which has been in existence here
for moreT than a week which is the
time limit for Mexican revoutionary
juntas in this arid region The junta
leaders include a number of former
followers of Orozco. a few Vasquez
Gomez-satellites and advocates of Gen
Felix Dlax to be president in plfe of
Francisco Madero. the present presi-
dent. The junta sessions have be n held
on Third street which is in the Mexi-
can quarter. They have been attend" I
by a number of the Mexican patriots
who are burning up with patriotic zil
of the hotel lobb variety. Calero is to
be provisional president according to
the junta program. He is to be suc-
ceeded by either Felix Diaz or Fran-
cisco de la Barra at the next election.
I AH of this is conditional upon the over
throw of the Madero government by
force of arms- The junta in El Paso is
said to be cooperating v-ith organisa-
tions in Mexico City and i. the souh.
but the members are being careful not
to violate any of the neutralitj pro-
v!sion! for fear they will continue their
junta meetings in the count jail.
The department of justice ia keep-
ing its more or less eagle eye on the
movements of the junta leaders and
will arrest them as soon as the present
term of federal lourt adjourns it be-
insr -ery busj just now with court rou-
i tine.
