But if BY THE REBELS Refugees, From Toreon Report- ed to Have Been Captured. WERE LEAVING THE COUNTRY Mexican Federals Declare Atrocities Would Follow Any Attempt at Rescue—Women and Chil. dren in Party. The City of Mexico, Sept. 15.—One hundred Americans, including a num- ber of women and children, refugees from Torreon, are reported to have fallen into the hands of rebels while Proceeding overland to Saltillo, The authorities at Saltillo decline to take the responsibility of sending a force to their rescue, fearing, they say, that the rebels might commit atrocities upon the refugees. The report comes from an official source at Saltillo, but has not been confirmed. The American embassy has called upon the Mexican forces to investigate the matter and do what- ever is possible to relieve the Amert- cans should the report prove true. Senor Gamboa, the foreign minis- ter, has had no advices further than the communication to the embassy. He expressed regret, but added that it was no more than might be expect- ed as the result of the “neutrality Policy” of the United States, which had hampered the administration in proceeding with a strong hand against rebels and bandits. Gen. Trucy Aubert, a federal com- mander, with one thousand men, who is proceeding from the north to the relief of Torreon, has just passed Saltillo. He is traveling over approxi- mately the same route as the Ameri- cans and it is regarded as possible that_the rebels will disappear before Who for the fourth time has won the national amateur golf champion- ship at the tournament at Gardea City, N.

GOVERNOR’S ACCOUNT OWN, SAYS BROKER, New York €xecutive Opened Account With Firm While in Congress, Declared Witness, New York, Sept. 18.—Governor Sul- zer’s transactions in Wall Street from June 27, 1910, till they ceased, July 12, last—at least so far as one firm of brokers -was concerned—were de- scribed under oath by Melville D. Fuller, who said he was Sulzer’s broker, in a hearing held by the nine impeachment managers appointed by the assembly, Mr Fuller, who before the Frawley investigating commission refused to testify concerning certain matters, an- swered all questions, He tetsified that Sulzer had paid him $16,000 in person within a month and a day after the last election and that he (Fuller) had had no dealings with Mrs, Sulzer. __ According to Fuller’s testimony, Sul- zer, while a repreesntative, opened an his advance. He is, however, making slow progress.

Left Torreon Septeber 1. The Americans are headed by Gen. J. C. Allen, deputy consul of Monterey, who went to Torreon to notify Amer- ican residents there of President Wil- son’s exit warning. They left Tor- reon on September 1, traveling by the most available conveyances across the plains in the direction of Saltillo, there having been no railroad com- munication for many weeks. They were passed on the way by, J. R. Everett of Palestine, Tex., near Paras, about half way to Saltillo, or approxi- mately eighty miles from Torreon. Everett reached Saltillo September 1 and reported that the caravan was making slow headway owing to the bad roads and poor equipment. NEW MOVE BY THAWLAWYERS Apply to Federal Judge for Writ of Habeas Corpus—If Granted Will Mean Freedom. Colebrook, N. H., Sept. 15—Although still under guard here, Harry K. Thaw is believed now to be nearer complete legal freedom than ever before since he shot Stanford White. His case finally has got into the federal courts and the way now is paved to have the supreme court of the United States pass on his case if necessary. The fourteenth amendment enabled the Thaw attorneys to go into the federal court and get a writ of habeas corpus, returnable Tuesday before Judge Aldrich. William Travers Jerome, specially deputized to bring. the fugitive back to the asylum, heard the news with ill grace and characterized the move as one of bad faith. There had been a gentleman's agreement, he said, that neither side was to make a court move pending the extradition hearing before Governor Felker in Concord. “Should this federal writ be grant- ed, it will mean that Thaw is a free man in any state in the Union.” The Logan Swept by Violent Storm While Crossing the Pacific From _ the Philippines.

These he paid on his ac- count, his indebtedntss, owing to other transacaions, having increased to $507 612. December 6, Mr, Fuller said, Governor-elect Sulzer paid in person $6,000 more in cash on his account. June 16 of this year Sulzer’s debt to the brokers had been further reduced. One of the checks, Mr. Fuller said, was from A, E. Spriggs, a former governor of Montana, Lieutenant Commander Josephthal of Governor Sulzer’s staff visited the office of Harris & Fuller, July 16 last, Mr. Fuller added, and closed the ac- count by paying the balance, $62,739. Mr, Josephthal received the stock left by Sulzer as collateral. Josephstal presented an order, which was pro- duced. It was signed, “William Sulzer, for Mrs, Sulzer.” BANDITS USE TWAIN’S CAVE Youthful Robbers Made a Rendezvous of the Spot Made Famous by American Humorist.
