Col. Charles
Muecke Lays Arms
Down in Cuba
But American Who Fought in All
the Island Revolutions Ready
for a New Call.
Camaguey, Cuba. Co". marles
Muecke, American who has fought
in all Cuban revolutions beginning
with that against Spain, laid down
his arms the other day after two
months in the field and came back
to his home to "remain quietly un
til the next one."
The veteran of the war for inde
pendence, who became a colonel in
that war, went to Ciego de Avila to
appear before Dr. Luis Cowley, spec
ial judge trying cases growing out of
the recent movement against the
government of President Machado
and posted $300 bond for his free
dom. Thereafter he returned to his mod
est home in the Lo Mosca section of
Camaguey.
"I took to the field." Muecke said,
"because I learned. I was going to be
arrested on charges filed by a per
sonal enemy of mine, a member of
the army, that I was conspiring
against the government.
"About the only thing I found in
the field was hunger."
Muecke said he was given all re
quested guarantees and showed all
possible courtesies in connection with
his surrender.
Asked as to the revolutions in
which he had participated, he re
plied:
"I was in all of them."
"I rose to the rank of colonel in
the war for independence," he added.
"In the uprising of August, 1912
(called the race war), I was chief
dynamiter of the veterans' column
In the revolution of 1917 (against
President Mario G. Menocal) I was
chief of dynamiters with Gen. Jose
Miguel, Gomez (former president)
blowing up several bridges close to
the government forces under Col.
Rosendo Collazo."
The remark was made that "You
are now back at home, in peace."
"Yes," Muecke said, "until the
next one."
The colonel said he had two daugh
ters, one of them married, living in
New York, and another, widow of an
American army officer, in Washing
ton. A son-in-law, he added, is a
captain in the army at the Aberdeen,
Md., proving grounds.

Branches of
Mormon Church
are United
Come Together at Memorial Service
in Nauvoo, HI., Honoring the
Founder of Their Faith.
Nauvoo, 111., July 26. Two
branches of the Mormon church,
which went their separate ways when
they were forced out , of Illinois in
1846, and have since maintained
their distance from each other, came
together here today in a Joyful yet
solemn ceremony honoring the found
er of their faith, Joseph Smith.
From Salt Lake City, seat of the
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day
Saint3 in Utah, came George A.
Smith, of the council of the 12
Apostles of his branch. From Inde
pendence, Mo., came Dr. Frederick
M. Smith, president of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints
in Missouri. With each of these
leaders arrived a number of their
faithful followers.
In a spirit of reunion the two
groups, together, listened to each
other's speakers and in concord dedi
cated a striking monument to Joseph
Smith. It was here in Nauvoo that
Smith (so he said) had a revelation
from on high expressly approving
and encouraging polygamy.
A striking memorial is this huge
slab of quartzite his modern follow
ers have placed upon the hallowed
ground where once stood the found
er's store. On either side of it are
seats and in front a sun dial. It hon
ors Smith, but also it honors the Mor
mon National Women's Relief so
ciety, founded in 1844. Both
branches of the church had their
part in the preparation of it. The re
organized. or Missouri branch, had
landscaped the property, which it
owns and the stone was set up by
the Utah unit. World-Herald.

ordered Pennsylvania national guards

Pennsylvania because the movement
can be effected much faster.
The governgrj said the troops will
be sent as soon as the railroads can
move them.
Earlier the governor had told
Sheriff Hackney to remove his de
puties or martial law would be de
clared. The governor told Hackney
that he "was deliberately provok
ing strife and disorder" and that he
was informed "that the Frick Coal
company with your co-operation, was
importing gunmen from New York."
In reply to this Hackney refused
to withdraw his deputies, saying that
he could not neglect his official du
ties. The governor then ordered out
the guards.
