New York bowed and made ready to do
bomase to "man's best aud most affec

Tha season's exhibition of horse flesh,
from tho sli ndei-llmbed timber topper to
the ponderous I'erchetone, and from tho
child's Shetland pony to the strong-fibred
military mounts, the prime of French and
Dutch, Canadian and Norwegian cavalry,
offers an array of, equine grace and breed
ing which other ohows could not boast.
Vanderbllt Is It.
The present executive of the horse show,
Alfred O. Vanderbllt, whose coaching rib
bons were adopted by the governors thl;
year as horse show colors, has been lavish
In decorating the great pavilion and gen-
trous In encouraging entries and making
provisions for visiting exhibitors.
More horses are entered this yesr than
ever before. The garden naa undergone

canopied celling to the maroon and whtte
rlbboned boxes and balconies the garden
spreads In spacious tleis about a tan-bark
rlnc and arena of ample space, and Grecian
pillared outposts. .
Great Imitation arched gates, resembling
for all the world the masonry entrance to
country gentleman's estate, open Into
the tan-bark course on the Fourth avenue

is aiched over Into a great box, where the

seven days of the show today finds plenty
of favor among the 2,000 orphans from va

NEW YORK, Nov. ir.-tSpeuial Tele
gram.) Peter Ullyou's dream of Thursday
night that he would be arrested came true,
for today he Is detained at police head
quarters, charged with writing three let
ters in Hungarian dialect, two of which
contained a threat that If John V. Rocke
feller did not turn SW.nOu over to the
"Kekede keze," which means black hand,
he would suffer death. ' '
Liliyou, who la about 23 years old. went
Into the Hungarian banking office of Man
del Irkovitz In the Bronx, handing Hugo
Kardos, the head of the bonking house,
three letters he said be wanted translated.
Kardos began to read one of the letters,
and as he did his eyes began- to pop and
his breath came In gasps: Jumping from
his chair as If he had suddenly sat on an
electric battery, Kardos grabbed the young
Hungarian, who could not speak Ktigllsh,
and demanded an explanation of the ipls
nlves. ' '
"I'll come back at S o'clock," said Liliyou,
departing.
Liliyou did return at i, but found sev

waiting for him. He wae arrested ' and

are satisfied today that Liliyou alone
schemed to get 150,000 from Mr. Rockefeller
through the medium of threatening letters.
How Liliyou (came to' hit upon Mr.
Rockefeller is' explained by Mra. Beit, his
landlady. . .
"He told me," said Mrs. 8eiUj "that In
Cleveland there waa a man who had more
money than all the other men In the world,
and this man had come to New York.. He
said this rich man waa good to poor people
and would give them enough to make them
rich. , He said he waa going to see this
rich man and. would get rich himself."
Liliyou did' not confine his threats to
kill Mr. Rockefeller. The first of the three
missives contained the assurance to Kardos
that If he failed to translate the letters he,
too, would be killed. . .
"If you have me arrested,"' the letter
voncluded, "It makes no difference, as my

Alleged Mexican
: Was a Citizen of 1
the United States
New Mexico.
-WASHINGTON,. Nov. 12. Througli un
official sources a report has reached the
State department that Antonio Rodrtgues,
the alleged Mexican who was burned at
the stake at Rock Springs, Tex., by a mob,
waa really born in New Mexico.
If this should prove to be the case, of
ccursu .the Mexican government would be
obliged to withdraw Its protest and demand
for reparation. It would leave the United
States the aggrieved party In the rioting
and antl-Amerlcati demonstrations In
Mexico.
Little doubt Is entertained here that the
wireless message on the subject of the cltl
denshlp of Rodriguez which was picked up
last night by the War department's wire
less station at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.,
waa one being sent from Secretary of Statu
Knox to President Taft, who Is on board
the oruiser Tennessee enroute to Panama.
Just bare mention of the disturbances at
Cludad Porflro Diaz and Guadalajara
came over night to the Btate department, ;
giviug no ueiaua auc niw eiy coniirming
so much of the press reports as Indicated
an outbreak of anti-American 'feeling In
the Mexican cities.
The Inference la that Ambassador Wilson,
who forwarded the news, either found it
difficult to obtain the details or looked
upon the disturbance as of minor Im
portance. The fact that the Mexican gov
ernment lost no time in suppressing the
uprising la taken aa a confirmation of Mr.
Wilson's statement that Ita attitude has
been oorrect throughout.
MEXICO CITY. Nov. 12.-A special dis
patch received here today from Guadala

American manager Df the Weet End Realty

Sketch of Hie Career.
Lafe Young was born on a farm hear
Albla, la., Mxty-two years ago, shortly
after Iowa became a state. Baby stales
and baby boys had a hard road to hoe in
those days. His father turned from farm
ing to manufacturing, having built woolen
factory, and here the youngster developed
hla mutcles handling bundles of wool. They
were hard day and long days, saya a re
cent biographer, but they paused somehow
until the tragedy came. It came on July
11, ISSl. . three months after Fort Sumter
had been flrod on. It came like a blow in
the dark and thu family crouched and
trembled. The mill burned down:
Koine time, perhaps, a greater tragedy
will come into the life of l.afe Young. b'U
It has not come yet. He wag only a hoy,
IS years old. but he realised what the blow
meant. It meant that the family waa
turned out to Brass where . the pasture
waa poor, with thistles plentiful and water
hole few and far between. .
! The family disaster sent nine adrift in
search of a livelihood. There were four
boy and three girl In the family and
such of the children as were able had to
hustle for themselves. Lafe drifted on
foot. Into a print shop at Ontervllle and
having learned the "boxes" moved on to
the larger field at Keokuk. In this way hn
absorbed the atmosphere of newspaper Uf.
and stuck to It with varying success uiTTli
kindly fate bado him launch the Des Molnuu
Capital twenty year ago.
Worklnar at tho Case.
When IS yeurs ot age Lafe struck Des
Moines and worked at the case for f 10 a
week. At 20 he was In Ht. Louis working In
the Job department of the St. louls I'ost
Dlspatch. The Dispatch was emu 1 1 and
struggling, but I .a re. Young managed to
pull down $2S a week and to save 110 of It
each week. He worked hard all day and at
night attended the Jones commercial Col
lege six night week.' What he did the
seventh night he does not tell, but inas
much as he adds: "I returned to Iowa for
the purpose of getting married," it ia a
fair Inference that he continued his Jour
nalistic practice by writing love letter to
the prAe.it Mrs. Young. At any rule, after
two years In HI. Ioui. he returned , to
Iowa and has been there ever i-lnoe.
Mart aa an Editor.
"While in Dos Molnea with my wife
vUltlng our old friends, F. M. Mills offered
me the local editorship of the LegUter," is
Mr. Young' story of how fate, which had
burned th Alhia woolen mill, threw him Into
the Journulistio whlrloiI of Des Moines "i
accepted and did not return to my place
in Ht. Louis. I was to b paid US a week
in lea Molms. I remained with Mills k. Co.
until December , 1870. They sold the Reg
ister to Clarkson Bros. Then, with the
money I saved In St. Louis and some bor
rowed from a relative 1 started the. At
lantic Telegraph, which I published nine
teen years, in Cass county I took part In
everything that was going on, helped to
build up Atlantic and to advertise It. Ia
