Mexico City.—No immediate steps
will be taken to dislodge the rebels
from Juarez either by siege or battle.
Instead the government will devote
Its energies to cleaning up the district
about Torreon and Chihuahua. This,
according to information obtainable
Wednesday, was the conclusion
reached by administration officials
after the difficulties of starving out

Interest to Readers
Would Bar Illiterates
Washington—The nouse immigration
committee decided to report a bill
which would bar illiterate immigrants
from the United States but what the
illiteracy test would be has not yet
been decided. Representative Burnett
has a bill which provides that all male
immigrants must be able to read, write

Taxicab Robber Is Caught

formerly a prize fighter, as the prin-

In which two bank messengers were

El Paso, Tex—Offering scant re-
sistance to invaders, Juarez, Mexico,
fell into the hands of rebel troops.
The attack lasted hardly an hour.
Throwing a hail of machine gun fire
into the city the rebel troops, self-
Btyled adherents of Emflio Vasquez
Gomez, advanced on the city from two
directions at 10 o'clock. The troops
coming from the northwest were met
by feeble firing from the government
soldiers. But soon this ceased. Their
way cleared, the invaders took com-
plete possession of the city.
Before 11 o'clock they were march-
ing through streets of the town that
was the scene of a Madero triumphant
ten months ago. Business houses were
closed but apparently there was no
attempt at sacking.
Not long after the beginning of the
rebel advance, Mexican Consul Llo-
rente in El Paso announced there
would be no resistance to rebel Invest-
ment of Jaurez. He declared this de-
termination had been reached in or-
der to prevent a repetition of last
May's battle in which Mexican bullets
hissed across the American boundary
into El Paso.
Followed Madero's Course.
The rebel army advanced upon
Jaurez along the Rio Grande, the
course taken by Madero's army last
May. The rebels spent the night near
the old Madero camp and began their
advance from Peace Grove, where the
peace parleys took place just prior to
Madero's assault on Jaurez in May,
1911. The rebels carried a red flag be-
neath the Mexican tri-colored flag. I
The United States troops now in El
Paso include the entire Twenty-second
infantry, four companies of the Eigh-
teenth infantry and four troops of the
Fourth cavalry. Colonel E. Z. Steever,
commanding the Fourth cavalry regi-
ment is in command of the American
patrol. The soldiers are stationed in
the downtown district except tli«i ar-
tillery, which detrained at Fort Bliss,
five miles out of town.
Boston.—The federal government is
to investigate the action of Lawrence
municipal authorities in preventing the
exportation of strikers' children from
the city. Federal Attorney French an-
nounced that Attorney General Wicker-
sham has ordered him to determine
whether the municipal authorities of
Lawrence had violated the interstate
act by preventing the railroad from
carrying out its contract with those
who had arranged to send children out
of the state.
Washington—Admitting that it is
not able to protect the lives of Amer-
ican citizens in Mexico or to guar-
antee the safety of their property un-
der the state of anarchy that now
exists without physical intenvention,
the United States government has
cabled to Ambassador Wilson at Mex-
ico City instruction to warn all Amer-
icans to leave the danger zone with-
out delay.
The ambassador is charged with
the duty of ascertaining the particu-
ular localities in which it is not safe
for Americans to remain.
By this act the administration spec-
ifically admits that not only is it un-
able to protect the lives of its own
citizens but that it will not be re
sponsible for the safety of the lives
or property of citizens of other na-
tions now in Mexico.
The president thus puts the issue
directly up to congress. Either he
must be authorized to send troops
over the Mexican border and restore
order by force of arms or the Monroe
Doctrine must be abandoned as an
active force and other nations be per
mitted to step in and protect their
own citizens.
It was pointed out here that
the situation in Mexico is not one of
a single force rebelling against a gov
ernment but a condition of complete
anarchy in which no one is respon-
sible to anybody else.
That the United States is fully able
to meet the situation and restore or-
der in Mexico if congress will give
proper authority is illustrated by the
fact that not only is the entire army
in readiness to move but that a plan
of campaign has been completed by
the army war college at Washington
Catarrh of the Lungs
Threatened Her Life
Miss Ninette Porter, Braintree, Ver-
mont, writes: "I have been cured by
Peruna.
"I had several hemorrhages of tho
lungs. The doctors did not help mo
much and would never have cured me.
"I saw a testimonial in a Peruna
almanac of a case similar to mine, and
I commenced using it.
"I was not able to wait on myself
when I began using it. I gained very
Blowly at first, but I could see that it
was helping me.
After I had taken it a while I com-
menced to raise up a stringy, sticky
substance from my lungs. This grew
less and less in quantity as I contin-
ued the treatment.
"I grew more fleshy than I had been
for a long time, and now I call myself
well."
Lawrence, Mass.—There was little
disturbance during the hours preceding
the opening of the textile mills here
Tuesday. Six pickets were arrested.
Five of these were women who, the po-
lice Bay, had carried persuasion to a
point approaching violence. It is orti-
mated that there are now a total of
18,000 operatives at work with 12,000
still on strike.
The plan to export children to
Philadelphia has been abandoned, it
is understood, and aside from the
children who are to be sent with a
committee of strikers to Washington
there may be little ones sent away
from their homes in groups.
The Washington-bound children who
witt be drawn from each nationality in
the ranks of the strikers, will not be
accompanied by their parents. City
Marshal Sullivan intimated that he
may prevent the children going unless
the court decides that he is acting con-
trary to law in preventing their leav-
ing the city. /

started in the campaign for the repub
lican presidential nomination, Taft
keeps on piling up delegates. A total
of sixty-eight delegates are now
pledged to vote for the renomination
of President Taft, while Colonel
Roose has no delegates elected by
regular convention. Two delegates
were given him by a rump convention
in the Third district of Missouri, but
it is likely that they will not be seated
in the national convention.
Twelve delegates were named on
Thursday.
Six of thees delegates were named
by the South Carolina republicans in

since the republican call was issued
Two others are from the Third Mis-

the fact that I engage no talent that'

ment, as in matrimony, knowledge is
most important"
Then Mr. Bagby smiled and said:
"Two ladies were talking the other
day about the Chinese revolution. Tho
younger lady said:
'Isn't it dreadful in China? A
woman doesn't know her husband till
she marries him.'
"The other lady, a divorcee, answer-
ed bitterly:
" 'I didn't know my husband till I
married him, either.'"—St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
Natural Avoidance.
Mayor Gaynor of New York was de-
fending his unti-suffrage views:
"Woman has her place and man has

the confusion that would come from

minded of an anecdote about Lady
Holland. Lady Holland once said to
Lord John Russell: 'Why hasn't Lord
Holland got a post in the cabinet'.
'Well, If you must know,' Lord John
answered, 'it is because nobody would

wife opens all his letters."'

"Did you hear young Pounders play-

"Yes. I consider him a remarkable

A WOMAN DOCTOR
Was Quick to See That Coffee Poison
Was Doing the Mischief.
A lady tells of a bad case of cofTee
poisoning, and tells it in a way so sim-

"I had neuralgic headaches for 12
years," Bhe says, "and have suffered
untold agony. When I first began to
have them 1 weighed 140 pounds, but
they brought me down to 110.
"I went to many doctors and they
gave me only temporary relief. So I

doctor advised me to drink Postum.
She said I looked like I was coffee
poisoned.
"So 1 began to drink Postum, and
gained 15 pounds in the first few

fast as at first. My headaches began
to leave me after I had used Postum
about two weeks—long enough, I ex-
pect, to get the coffee poison out of
my system.
"Now that a few months have pass-
ed since I began to use Postum, I can
gladly say that I never know what a
neuralgic headache Is like any more,
and it was nothing but Postum that
relieved me.
"Before I used Postum I never
