f OOO Americans Are Keeping Up the Mexican Revolt By JOSE YVES LIMANTOUR. Mexico's Minister of Finance Q by American Press Association. OOO HMKKICANS who liavo allied themselves with the insurrec tionists can scarcely expect PROTECTION" LONCJER UNDER THE AMERICAN FLAG, and it would seem obvious that they tako their own chances for committing depredations on property under a foreign flag. ! I AM FIRMLY CONVINCED THAT EXCEPT FOR THE 8YM PATHY, FINANCIAL SUPPORT AND ACTUAL PARTICIPATION IN CONFLICT OF AMERICANS THE INSURRECTION IN CHIHUAHUA AND 80N0RA COULD NOT LONG CONTINUE. ALMOST DAILY ONE READS OF THE PART TAKEN BY AMERICANS IN THAT INSUR RECTION, AND THEY ARE THE ONLY KNOWN LEADERS EXCEPT MADERO. . I wonder if those individuals and other Americans who have had any SYMPATHY for or have taken any part in that INSURREC TION realize tho full significance and importance of their attitude and acts. As is pretty generally known, tho line of the National Railway Twtween Juarez and Torrcon is prnctically out of servico because of the DEPREDATIONS COMMITTED IJY MEXICAN REBELS 'AND AMERICAN SYMPATHIZERS. p y Poverty Would Cy Vanish if We'd All Help One n Another $ J' 2 & By fREDER,CK T0WNSEND MARTIN, f ' New York Society Leader Providing of Counsel For Criminals Tends to Encourage Them By Captain II.

Following is Ihe interesting story of this remark able play: Eli Tupper, an eccentric mil lionaire, has left a portion of his fortune to carry out a theory that man, if allowed to return to his primitive stale, would live longer, be happier and finally found a race almost god-like in their strength of brain and sinew. His will provides that two orphan ed infants be taken by old Win ters, an (dd servant, and brought up in a forest of 10,000 acres, shut out from the sight of human eye until they reach their ma jority, when they are to be taken and set down in New York so ciety under the future tutelage of Mrs. Tupper-Tlellamy, where the final test of the theory Is to be made. The first act finds Adam and Eve grown to their majority and ready to lie taken to New York to carry out Ihe final experiment. The second act shows the furore Eve makes in society, which Eve, in her innocence, is much in love with. Adam, with his man's mind, immediately sees through the shallow veneer which covers that society and tries to prevail upon Eve to relurn In Eden at once be fore Hie world nnd its evil way claim her for ils own. She re fuses and remains, while Adam and Old Winters return sadly to their Eveless Eden. In the third act Eve herself has (be veil lifled and sees the emptiness of the liTe she has chosen. She finds ln men sofl-handed and shallow; Ihe women hypocritical and mean, and the dowager. Mrs. Tupper llellaiiiy, whom she has learned to love, she finds to be only anxious lo get the money the old million aire willed her for her chaperon age. Eve denounces I hem all and returns to Eden, Ihero presum ably lo live her years as she be gan I bem, with Adam nnd Old TORNADO KILLS TWO IN ILLINOIS Storm Strikes Peking anil Caus es Great Damage lo Property.
