WASHINGTON. Nov. 17.-lanser of an
other well organised and formidable
revolutionary movement in Mexico has
caused the suspension of the return to
their home stations of the American
troops sent Into the border country dur
ing the Madero revolution Tho attitude
of the United States Is one of apprehen
sion of further trouble, against which
every precaution is to bo taken to Insure
the strictest neutrality.
AUSTIN. Tex., Nov. 17. Two captains
of Texas rangers today were ordered to
the border with instructions to prevent
any activity In Texas toward starting a
revolution In Mexico.
Theso movements were made after a
conference between Governor Colquitt and
ranger Captain Hughes, who claims to
have evidence that part of the prepare-
tions for a Mexican revolution are under
way In Texas.
From a heretofore reliable source It
was learned that uencrai iteyes. now at
San Antonio may be placed under the
surveillance of the Texas authorities. The
rangers have been ordered to prevent
mnrauradlng on the American aide of the
border.
WOMEN CANNOT BE PRESENT
Trial of Tar Case Resumed Behind
Partly Closed Doers.
JUDGE OBJECTS TO PUBLICITY
Reporters Cautioned Not to Color
Stories, as County Has Had
Too Much Notoriety
Already.
LINCOLN CENTER. Kan., Nov. 17.-
Twelve Jurymen, all subject to challenge,
sat .In the box when the case of Sherrlll
Clark, a wealthy merchant and brother
of Everett G. Clark, who already has
pleaded guilty; A. N. Slmms, a mill
worker, and John Schmltt, a farmer, was
called In the district court today. The
three are' charged with assault and bat
tery in connection with the tarring of
Miss Mary Chamberlain of Shady Bend,
Kan.
Farmers from surrounding counties who
had driven as many as forty miles to
hear the "tarrin' ' case, and every citi
zen who could "knock off!' from his work
filled Judge Grover's court room so that
the Judge himself with difficulty got in
side.
Following Judge Grover's order that no
women or children be allowed in the
court room because the Judge believed
the testimony would be unfit for the ears
of any mother or daughter of- Lincoln
county,; the few women regulars who
have been attending the trial were no
ticeably absent and the men had the
court room to themselves.
. Judge Objects- to Colored Stories
Judge Graver passed around A "quiet
tip" to the pewspaper reporters that it
would be distasteful to the rfourt to have
to exclude them from the oourt room for
sending colored stories to their papers.
The man who carried the message said
Lincoln county has enough detrimental
advertising a a result of the tarring,
The Judge's order to exclude women and
children and to curb sensational news-
paper reports followed a petition from the
Women's Clvlo league of Lincoln county,
New Venire Summoned.
The first panel ot thirty-four talesmen
having been exhausted in securing the
twelve men In the box, a new venire ot
100 was summoned during the night and
early hours today and was In attendance
when court convened. The defendants
are asking each venireman If he would
consider the separate guilt of each de
fendant, although the three are being
tried together. Unwillingness to do this
results in challenge for cause.
The possibility of securing a Jury be.
fore night led the prosecution to declare
that Miss Chamberlain would take the
stand tomorrow and tell her story. Ac
cording to Miss Chamberlain three men
did the actual work of tarring, while the
remainder of the moo looked on. One
man held her prostrate, another held the
bucket of tar and a third smeared the
black mess over Miss Chamberlain's body
and limbs.
Jury Mar Be Completed Boon,
Tho defense by noon bad used half of
its twelve challenges, and both sides be
gan to hope that a Jury could be ob
tallied by late this afternoon. Miss
Chamberlln was expected to go on the
stand then after a short opening address
to the Jury by County Attorney McCan
Miss Chambcrlin arrived at the court
room early under the Impression that
she would be placed upon the stand at
once. She appeared greatly chagrined at
not being able to do so and remained
with her mother screened from obser
vatlon In the county attorney's private
office.

REMAKE: AROUSES ATTENTION

In Custody Sufficient to
Justify Writ.
CHUCAGO. Nov.- I Indicted packers
who are seeking a ruling from the United
states supreme court on the validity of
the Sherman anti-trust act. expressed
themselves as much encouraged late to
day, when United States Circuit Judge C.
C. Kohlsaat said ho saw little reason to
question the effectiveness of the custody
of the defendants, upon which tho dis
puted habeas corpus proceedings orig
inated.
Although Judge Kohlsaat announced
that he would not band down his decision
on the government's motion to quah the
habeas oorpus writ until tomorrow morn-
ng, the defense hailed the court's prac
tical decision of the point of custody as
4 forerunner of victory for the packers
In the habeas corpus fight.
Comment regarding the point of cus
tody was made by the court while United
States District Attorney James II. Wll
kerson was concluding his arguments
against the packers' writ
"I don't think , there Is much question
but these parties were In custody that
would Justify the Issuance of the writ,'
said Judge Kohlsaat.
The remark challenged Instant atten
tion from lawyers, defendants and. spec
tators In the court room.
Counsel for both sides today finished
their arguments on the government's mo
tion to quash and Judge Kohlsaat asked
for a list of citations advanced tn the
last two days. The court then announced
that his decision would be ready tomor
row morning.

Stanley of the house stftel trust lijfvaall-
gaung comnuitee nad a conference to
day with President Taft after which
he made a statement regarding former
President Roosevelt's editorial In the Out
look on the government's prosecution of
the United States Steel corporation.
I doubt that any one man," said Mr.
Stanley, "will make up the minds of the
American people as to the good or evil
of the steel corporation. I believe there
are a great many facts In the case
which Mr. Roosevelt does not know. I
doubt that Henry C. Crick and Judge
Klbcrt Gary made Mr. Roosevelt their

Mr. Stanley said the Sherman antt-trust

proceedings at tho 6ta( capltol and Indi
cates that Auditor Barton has doclded to

Auditor Carton refused for some time
to issue any warrants under the new act
unless he was given nn indemnity bond
by Omaha business men or those who
were Interested In seeing the medical col
lege built up in Omaha. His change of
front Is said to have come from a rigid

WRITES ST0RY0F HER LIFE
Millionaire Stronss Hired Patterson
to Marry Girl.
ACCUSED OF KILLING HUSBAND
Dlographr Tells ot Trip to Curope
for Purpos ot Studying; to He
come Suitable Wife for Sup.
, posed llenefactor.
DENVER, Colo., Nov. 17,-Gertrude
Gibson Patterson, who will be placed on
trial next Monday on the charge of mur
dering her husband, Charles A. ratter-
son, has written a biographical sketch
for the use of her attorney, O. N. Hilton,
In which she accuses Emll Strouss, the
millionaire clothing manufacturer of Chi
cago, of having ruined her life and of
having bribed Patterson to marry her.
She and Strouss, she avers, lived to
gether as man And wife for five years.
Excerpts ot this story of love and
tragedy, made public today, are charac
terised by Attorney Hilton as being as
black a record of betrayal as ever Jury
listened to.
When seen at the jail today Mrs. Pat
terson seemed much less ooncerned oVet
the fata a Colorado Jury ha In store for
her than the effect ber story will have
on her mother.
-'Oh!" she moaned, "It will breaX my
poor mother's heart to learn that I was
never married to Emll Strouss nor di
vorced from him."
The biography read, In part, as fol
lows: "When I was 18 years old I went with
my sister, Mrs. Farnsham, and her hus
band to Chicago. We stopped at the
Auditorium hotel, where a friend of my
sister Introduced me to Strouss. He was
much older than I, for at that time my
hair hung In a braid down my back,
but he was very kind. He asked me to
marry htm, but said that first I must
go to school and study.
Trip to Paris.
'After many conferences with my peo
ple he finally took me to Purls. His in
tentions always seemed to be honorable.
In that city he provided me with a tutor,
paid for my muslo lessons and departed
almost immediately. I was very happy
and work very hard at my studies, aa I
wanted him to b proud of his future
wife."
Mrs. Patterson says that they cor
responded for five months, at the end
of which- time, responding to a cable
gram from Strouss, she returned to New
York and, in company with her supposed
benefactor, went Immediately to Culcago,
where, the biography states, Mr. Strouss
registered . for both of them as "Miss
Gibson" and "Mr. Strouss." helr rooms
were adjoining. v
It was here, Mrs. Patterson declared,
Strouss began to renew his promises of
marriage, but always ha postponed the
wedding day.
I was so miserable and unhappy, al
though he gave me everything," the
narrator exclaimed, "for when I thought
I had him persuaded he would put me
off again until ons day he sent ma back
to Paris.
The fall of tha same year he came
for me again. This time he told me that
he had given out the Information that
we were married and that everyone be
lieved it.
"So we came again to Chicago, where
we stopped at the Stratford hotel, In
wlrfch Mr. Strouss was financially Inter
ested.
"For five years I lived with him as
his wife. He introduced rue as Mrs.
Strouss wherever we went and to his
friends. No one ever questioned that I
was married to him least of all my peo
pleand all that time I begged and
pleaded and coaxed him to marry mo.
I wanted so nu'ch to be like the other
women I knew."
Meets Futtersoj.
Miss Gibson, as Klie waa then, met ber
futuie husband, Charles A. I'atterson, at
a skating rink. Thoy became greut friends
and, although she told hlin hf-r story, he
asked her to beconio bis wife and ex-
preab-ed a deulie to' meet Mr. Strouss.
"After his talk vlth. Mr, I'atter-ion,
Mr. StrouKS camo to me and said that he
was glad that the blggr-st thing In life
had come to me and he wanted me- to be
happily married," the narrator continued.

such a reorganisation as that sanctioned

and VV prevent such delays 1A prosecwion
as hve uu: urred in tha beef Jlrust hear
ing. -were Ueulared tiecestary by Senator
Cummins today at the hearing before the
Interstate Commerce committee of the
tenatd.
"Questioning II. 13. Martin of the anti
Trust league, who opposed any amend
ment to the Sherman law, Senator Cum
mins referred to the decroe In the to
bacco company case authorising the re
organisation of four companies and called
attention to the announced report of the
Deportment of Justice not to Interfere
with the reorganization.
"I do not believe the organisation of
four companies will restore competition,
but in the minds of the authorities, It
is apparently In harmony with the anti
trust law," said Senator Cummins. "In
my opinion the anti-trust law will not
maintain competition and it ought to be
amended and strengthened."
Amendments Hugajeated.
Senator Cummins referred to a pos
sible limitation of the capital stock ot
corporations, a deforcing of manufactur
ing business from sources of supplies and
a separation of business and transporta
tion elements as changes In the law would
lead to better competition.
Mr. Martin said the Anti-trust league
of which he Is secretary, proposes to
fight the dissolution decree In the Ameri
can Tobacco case on the ground that it
docs not comply with the anti-trust law.
He declared that succeeding officials of
the government in the last twenty-one
years had failed to enforce the law prop
erly.
'Do you claim they betrayed their
trust?;' anked Senator Cummins.
"That Is strong language," said Mr.
Martin, "but in some canes I believe they
did."
Senator Cummins said that In his opin
ion when a certain course had been pur
sued over a period of year by puhllo
officials It Indicated there was either
something essential lacking In the law or
that all public officials constituted "a
band ot rascals."
"It Is hardly conceivable," he said,
"that ail of our Judges, attorney generals,
presidents and other officials have been
In a conspiracy to defeat this law. It
would teem that the law could be so
amended that questions of doubt would
be removed and that public condemna
tion would fall on the man who fulled
to enforce Its piovHons.'

District Attorney Fredericks announced
today that be had assigned G. I;ay Hor
ton, chief trial deputy, to try the case of
A. M. Muhla, F. Ira Bender and B. II.
Connors, indicted for an alleged attempt
to dynamite the Hall of Records here a
month before the Los Angeles Times wes
destroyed In the fall of U10. Counsel fur
the McNamaraa likewise are defending
the three men and the case Is expected
to be a corollary to the McNamara trial.
Horton has been the most active thus
far In court for the state other than the
district attorney himself, and his delega-
Ion to try Mahle, Bender and Connor
will mean that the state will lose an im
portant member of Its staff In the Mc
Namara trial.
The trial of tho trio Is scheduled for
December 1. but Attorney Darrow oe-
clared today ho thought a postponement
until after the McNamara hearing was
over could be secured.
Bender is president ot the Blacksnrths
union here and Connors Is a member of
the Bridge and Structural Iron Workeu'
local.
FEDERATION ASKED TO AID

ATLANTA, Go., Nov. 17. Anticipation
that the California delegation to the con
vention Of the American Federation of
Labor In session here will make further
attempts to obtain recognition for , a
resolution appropriating 170,000 for the
defense of the McNamara brothers, held
the Interest of delegates today.
The successful efforts of President
Gumpers and other labor officials pre
vented tlie introduction of a resolution
for the appropriation yesterday, the last
day on which resolutions could be placed
before the organization. The unanimous
consent ot the convention now must be
obtained before the matter can be In
troduced In the form of a resolution, but
according to a ruling of President Gum
pers, It may be introduced by a delegate
as a sUPHlltuio lor a pomou oi a com
mittee report.
Another matter of Interest pending Is
the probability of Mr. Gompers and four
