TIIK BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 16 TO PUNISH CHIEFS CROSSING BORDER American Officers Leading Men Into Mexico Likely Will Be Put on Trial. TWO SOLDIERS ARE RELEASED WASHINGTON, Jn. 2. There was no Indication tonight that the United States government would con sider any action necessary in the ruse of the two American soldiers cap tured yesterday near Brownsville, Tex., and returned unharmed to their commands today, other than to in vestigate, the Incident and probably court-martial Lieutenants Ileytan, Mort and Waldron, the officers who led the detachment of soldiers into Mexican territory to rescua their captured comrades. Secretary Garrison said positive orders had bean riven every officer In the army not to cross the boundary under any provocation without specific Instructions from Washington. Should the Investigation ordered by Major General Funston prove that the officers violated this order It was said they undoubtedly would be court-martialed and probably held responsible for the death of the four soldiers, members of the rescue party, who were drowned In the TUo Grande while returning- from their expedition. Tha prompt action taken by Cartansa military authorities In returning the two soldiers wss regarded by Stats depart ment officials as Indicative of their de sire to prove their Innocence and to dis play their good will towards this country. Officials generally appeared relieved by the developments, particular satisfaction ting expressed at the report from Consul Johnson at Matamoros that the Carranta military authorities appeared satisfied the act was committed 'through Ignorance."

Biding Brake Rods From De Moines to Hastings afoot and by brake beams by turn Is too great a distance for Herman Vsn Close and his cousin, Chris MeCaughn, both II years of age. Wednesdsy they started from Des Moines. Yesterday they stumbled Into Omaha police headquarters hungry. cold,, miserable, and Van Close with his foot se badly frosen that the police have decided to put him In a hospital for several days until It can be determined whether bis foot will have to be ampu tated or not. The boys said their uncle conducts a produce farm near Heatings, and that they had started from Des Moines to neat their way to Hastings to get on their uncle's farm. Their campaign failed ,at Omaha. The cries of women snd little children for clothing and fool la the feature of this winter's relief work In Omaha that Is focusing the attention of the organisa tions thst csre for the poor. Hitherto the demand coming from mn has been the greeteat. "This winter we have had a moat ex traordinary call from womin and chil dren and there baa been a falling; off In the number of men seeking relief," ssld Mrs. MeCormlck of the Volunteers of America. "I think this Is largely due to the new plan of making the men work for their board when they get Into the hands of the police or county Jail. The claaa of gentry who aim to get free lodging and board m the Jail during the cold weather Is steering clear of Omaha. It's a dengerous place for lasy fellows to hang around. "On the other hand, women snd chil dren are In dire nel and we are cloth Ing and caring for msny of them every day. Hardly a day paases that several children do not come from some school for clothing, principally from the Cass school. When the teachera or principals see sr child Insufficiently clothed they send the child to us. We hsve given warm clothing to a score of little ones during this cold snap. "Teaterdsy old Aunt Maltle came through the cold and anow to our head quarters, ffhe wore a klmonb and had on a heavy coat that we gave her some time sen. Phe had not nine to eat. We gave her a good hot breakfast and ahe , stayed here ail day. Bhe lias a warm room and ws have decided to rslee the money to psy her rent through the win ter. r'he has an Idea that she could take a position caring for children, but. poor soul, she can't care for herself even. "A poor man and his wife came shlv erlng to us last night. He wss a la borer, but there is no work for him In cold weather, and the couple hsd a place taking care of a furnace and doing Notiom of What U Worth While Gained from Experience, of Other. TELLS WHAT THINGS TO AVOID "Stay persistently In the presence of the best. In the sphere in which we seek achievement. The rest will pretty well take care of itself," was one of the thoughts impressed by President Henry Churchill King of Oberlln college, speaking yesterday afternoon In the auditorium of Cen- odd Jobs for their board and a place to j trai jIIgh ncboo to the public school sleep. Their employer discharged them and ordered them out. They had abso lutely nothing snd no place to go. We hsve cared for them now two days and expect to get them something to do." Mrs. MlcCormlck emphasises the great need of warm clothing of all kinds. v"If people will telephone us our wagon will call for such things and they will serve to keep some poor people warm." she ssya, "All kinds of clothing and bed clothes are needed. No matter how old. they will serve to keep the cold from the poor." AFFAIRS ATJOUTH OMAHA Superintendent Graff Urges Eighth Graden to Continue Through High School.

"The American school system Is the greatest factor In the country today," he said, "In the transformation of Ignorant Individually patriotic foreigners Into good American citizens.
