frontier world of men. where wide
shouldered riders move and have their
being under conditions that make hickory
withes of them, physically, and hard
close-mouthed citizens, mentally. Born
and bred to the. border life, she looked
level-eyed at her lovers and judged them
by the outdoor testa of gameness and ef
; f Iclency. Swept Into a series of startling
adventures, the story carries Phyllis

- THE RAID OP THE GUERILLA. By
vnanes ijgoert Craddock. 334 Pp. $1.26.
. a. .uppincou company.
In this collection of ten short stories
the conventional love story does not ap
pear. One notes very frequently a strong
sense of the humor of situation, bnt
always subtly rather than broadly made
manifest, and sometimes glinting with the
mocking irony of life. Two tf the atorles
hark back of the civil war for their
motives. One of these, that from which
the book takes Its title, is perhaps the
best of the collection.

John Garwood Is a radical congressman
who breaks away from party allegiance,
who turns from the machine boss"
to fight alone for the political and in
lustrlal independence of the people he
realizes he has so long exploited in
Washington. The one who shows him
the light is a girl in the biological bureau
of the Department of Agriculture, a
piquant, womanly woman with an almost
; masculine directness of intellect. The
young congressman and his campaln
take on national Importance; and the
dramatic, the ugly and the amusing fea
tures of a political fight are presented.
THE MAN FROM JERICHO. By Ed

The scene is laid In Kentucky and the

THE BLUE WALL. By Richard Wash
burn Child. 378 Pp. $1.25. Houghton
Mifflin company.
. "What is behind the wall?" inquires
he doctor in the first line of the story.
The answer to the question carries the
iiaJer, with attractive, unattractive, yet
always very human companions, through
a series of incidents and ' adventures
which do credit to the imagination of
Mr. Child.' Aside from the narrative,
there is a certain running scientific com
mentary1 on human character, as revealed
by atavism and the phenomena which
connect 'the life of mortals with that beyond.

sense of the demand of the fans. He has
gone into the major leagues at various
angles and various games and taken out
matters of most absorbing Interest and
welded them together into a reading that
lures and lead the fan on to the finish
without any more Interruption than Is
necessary. Base ball is a thing, with all
Its heroics, that never palls on a real
fan. Its reminiscences are sometimes
even more attractive than Its contem
porary doings. And the author of this
book has made the most of that.

WOMEN AND SOCIAL PROGRESS.
By Scott Nearing and Nellie M. S. Near-
ng. 281 Fp. $1.90. , rne Mac.Minan com
pany.
The domestic, industrial and social pos
sibilities of American women are dis
cussed at length. The work endeavors to
prove that women have capacity, and
that It matters not a whit whether that
capacity be equal to man's, inferior, or
superior. Succeeding chapters contain the
solution, viz; that women's capacity, It
combined . with opportunity, will neces
sarily result In achievement; that there
fore they should take their places as in
dividuals In the vanguard of an ad
vancing civilization.

teristics, and has done It in so loving a
way that his stories, although they show
his people In amusing guise, arouse In
the reader only the kindliest feelings
toward them.

Of the others, one tells of life In a little

And they are all sad, with the weary,
hopeless sadness that colors all the fiction

LOS ANGELES. Aug. 16. There was no
desire on his part to protect the local at
torneys of the McNamara defense in the
bribery-scandal, according to District At
torney Fredericks, who resumed today his
closing argument In the trial of Clarence
S. Darrowi
The defendant had charged that the
district attorney held his . former asso
elates Immune from prosecution because
they lived In Los Angeles and he (Dar-
row) was a stranger.
Captain Fredericks declared the bribery
must have been instigated by an attorney
in the McNamara case, but that none of
the attorneys knew what Bert Franklin,
the briber, was doing but Darrow.
. Fredericks attacked the Important wit
nesses for the defense, branding most of
them as perjurers, the half dozen news
paper men who Impeached Franklin's tes
timony alone having been absolved from
that characterization. The prosecutor
then went into an analysis of the state's
evidence as to the various alleged offenses
charged against Darrow during his prepa
ration of the McNamara case.
"There was not a week during . that
time," said Fredericks, "that the de
fendant was not committing some crime
against Justice."
New York Safe from
Attack Until Today
MANEUVERS HEADQUARTERS,
STRATFORD, Conn., Aug. 16. There was
no collisions of large units of the Red
and Blue armies today and. the invest
ment of New Tork City was delayed at
least one day. Tomorrow the engage
ment will begin somewhere on the high
ridges bf the picturesque Connecticut
Berkshire. Alt day . the Red and Blue
forces were quiet
The battle will be productive tomorrow
of great noise for ..the artillery muster
about forty guns, and about 18,000 men
of all arms will be engaged. Everything
points to. a clash on a front which will
be less than four miles In length. The
Infantry will , have to work over the
ridges and .'through the woods while
ravKlry of both side will fill the high
ways. Thd armies rested tonight in the
NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-At the request
of District Attorney Whitman, the grand
jury today withheld the filing of its
Tending indictments Rgatnst the mur
derers of Herman Rosenthal in order to
hear the testimony of Sam Schepps, now
on his way here from Hot Springs, Ark.,
in custody of Assistant District Attorney
Rubin. ' While the county prosecutor, be
lieves the evidence thus far submitted
to the Jury Is sufficient for the purposes
of Indictment, he advised the Jury today
that It would be best to hear the testi
mony of Schepps In order further to
strengthen the case.
The district attorney expects Schepps,
who is said to have been a passenger in
the "assassination car," will add Inter
esting details to the manner In which
the murder"-was planned, which will
strengthen the true bills contemplated
against "Gyp the Blood, " "Dago Frank"
CIroflcl, "Whitney" Lewis and "Lefty"
Louie, the alleged murder crew. Whit- j
man believes Schepps will be able to
throw light upon the manner In which
the alleged murderers were paid, thus
corroborating the testimony of Jack Rose
and "Brldgie" Webber that Lieutenant
Charles Becker, charged with instigating
the murder, was. responsible for the payment.
Schepps Before Grand Jury.
Schepps Is expected here Saturday and
will go before the grand jury Tuesday,
as a material witness, unless In the
meantime he disappoints the expectations
of the state by refusing to tell his story.
In that event it was intimated tonight
by the district attorney that one mors
indictment would be handed down that
day and the name of the man it would
accuse of complicity In the murder would
be Schepps. .
News that the grand jury had failed to
hand down Its expected Indictments to
day gave rise to reports that there had
been a clash among the jurors, growing
cut of doubts expressed by several that
the stories told by Rose, Webber and
Vallon were to be credited.
"Any statement as to a clash or dis
agreement in the grand Jury room Is
absolutely unfounded," said Whitman.
"It is essential that all the evidence be
so presented that indictments found
against the several defendants may be
properly found. I requested the grand
Jury myself to delay the filing of the
Indictments until Tuesday and I assume
that it was at my request that such a
delay occurred. The grand Jury and the
district attorney are In entire accord
and there has been no suggestion of fric
tion or disagreement of any kind."
Whitman to Offer Reward.
Impatient over what he regards as the
"peculiarly unprecedented" failure of any
city authority to offer a reward for the
capture of "Gyp the Blood" and "Lefty
Louie," who tomorrow will have been at
large one month since Rosenthal was
slain, Whitman declared tonight that he
himself would offer next week a reward
of $3,000 for the capture of the two
men dead or alive.
Although the fugitives are wanted for
the most sensational murder In years
a murder that has led to reaelatlons of
organized graft in the police depart
ment, no reward, such as is commonly
offered for the capture of criminals by
the smallest county community has thus
far been offered, it Is pointed out by the
county prosecutor tonight, for the arrest
of those two alleged murderers, by .any
authority representing New York City.
Deiecwve William J. Burns saw the
district attorney today, but has thus far,
It was learned, turned up no evidence
of importance. He told the prosecutor,
however, that. he was on a trail which
he predicted would lead to a high city
official in connection with police corrup
tion. Ho also said he expected to "get"
three men known as ' "the disorderly
house triumvirate," one a lawyer, one a
police inspector and the other a hotel
keeper. The detective also gave assur
ances to the district attorney, It was
learned, that he would find "Gyp the
Blood."
' Hnltllnsr the Tenderloin.
-Raids on alleged disorderly houses in
the tenderloin district were made by
the police tonight. The descent on the
dozen and a half places was on author
ity of warrants issued by the Justice
of sessions court on evidence furnished
by agents of the Society for the Pre
vention of Crime. Twenty-three prison
ers were taken.
The tenderloin was set all agog by the
raids, which, though conducted by the
police, were made over the heads of In
spector William J. Leahy. District At
torney Whitman was apparently much
interested, for he was near the scene, as
were Assistant District Attorney Smith,
who was in charge of the proceedings
and Deputy Police Commissioners McKay
and Dougherty.
According to Mr. Smith, agents of the
society have been busy for three weeks
securing evidence against what is termed
the "disorderly house trust," conducted
It is declared, by five widely known
tenderloin characters. On his request,
after the warrants were Issued, Commis
sioner McKay furnls'hed policemen from
.various precincts to serve the warrants.
Smith said the evidence obtained In
dicates that the "trust" has a "clear
ing house" where women are frequently
exchanged.
Schepps on Way in w York.
8T. LOUIS, Aug. 16.-Sam Schepps
passed through St. Louis tonight en route
from Hot Springs, Ark., where he was ar
rested last Saturday. j
Schepps reiterates his assertion that nil '
first definite statement of the whole of
what ho knows about the Rosenthal case
will be made in person to District At
torney Whitman and no other person. He
has been consistent in the declaration
for three days.
Mexican Rebels Get
Out of Juarez and
Move Southward
JUAREZ, Aug. 18. Preparations for the
evacuation of Juarez began tonight and
the first train was dispatched over the
Mexican Central railroad for the south.
The last train is expected to leave at
midnight, depopulating Juarez of rebel
soldiers. The citizens' vigilance commit
tee Is ready to take charge until the
arrival of federal troops.
The last train will carry General Pas
cual Orozco and staff officers. It was
said at Orozco's headquarters late tonlgTit
that an attempt would be made to en
ter Sonora by a flank movement behind
the advance federals who today reached
Guzman . only sixty miles southwest of
Juarez. This movement by Orozco Is
planned, to avert the danger of passing
directly to the west, and yet to connect
with the rebel Jders In Sonora and
make for the west coast.
A brass band plavtd a farewell con
cert In the plaza tonight at the rebel
soldiers ran here and there packing their
belonging. The evacuation was orderly.
Fearing a repetition of the looting and
burning of the town, merchants closed
their shops.
The rebels are burning what railway
equipment they cannot use In . their
movement to the south. The fire started
at 11 o'clock.

former mayor of Milwaukee and now
candidate for vice president on the social

Instead of be! ng satisfied with a little
bit of the railroad, we want the whole
