ESTABLISHED TOWN FEARS ATTACK FROM NIGHT RIDERS Armed Guards Keep Watch Over Clarkton, Mo.,—Dectectives Fight With Band in Swamp. Clarkton, Mo., Nov. 24.—Armed guards kept watch on the outskirts of this city until daybreak today for the so-called night riders, from whom an attack was feared. Eight men to whose homes blood- hounds led a posse yesterday were in jail at New Madrid, Mo., today, suspected of being members of the party of night riders which yester- day fought a battle with six detec- tives in a swamp near here. The pris- oners asserted their innocence. No trace of five night riders who are be- lieved to have been wounded in the battle has been found. The night riders, who are thought to be farm laborers, and tenants, have committed numerous crimes in the campaign for higher wages, cheaper rentals and lower food prices which they have been waging for months, AMERICAN EXECUTED BY MEXICAN BANDITS Carranza Claims Villa Killed Engineer Nov. 2—Loot- ed Homes.

Detloff. Bean had been in Canada for eight years, employed the the Cananea Consolidated Mining company as an: electrician. He is said to have rela- tives in Bridgeport, Conn. Advices from Cananea confirmed the killing of Engineer Edgar Bean by Villa officers and statéd that other Americans there were safe: Bean was killed after aiding, un- der compulsion, in the escape of ing that if necessary Japan would send a very strong army to Furope, as Ja- General Jose Rodriguez’s troops from Cananea.

STOCK WAS | “HARD T0 PROGURE” Goveroment Wishes to Know Rea- son for High Price Paid LITTLE SATISFACTION GIVEN Mellen Makes Unsatisfactory Witness on Point of Inquiry—Boston Firm Retained by Two Concerns Studied Draft of BilL New York, Nov. 24.—The reason Charles S. Mellen permitted the Bos- ton banking firm of Kidder, Peabody & Co., to charge him an excessive price for Boston and Maine stock at 2 time when he and Robert Windsor, a member of the firm, were ‘“co- operating legislative matters” was again the subject of inquiry today at the trial of the cleven former direc- Hartford railroad under the Sherman anti-trust law. The government was, however, unable to gain from Mr. Mellen, as witness, any other explana- tion than that Winson had charged the price, about twenty points above the market value, because the stock was difficult to procure. The government in this connection brought out that the same Boston law firm’ was under retainer both by the New Haven and Kidder, Peabody & Co., and that a member of the firm, Frederick E. Snow, had had an opportunity to study a copy of Jdraft of the bill which created. the Boston Railroad Holding company, through which the New Haven was legally permitted to control the Bos- ton and Maine. It was also testified by Mr. Mellen that the shares of Boston and Maine stock which he bought from Kidder, Peabody & Co., eventually found their way into the possession of the holding company. F. L. Batts, of counsel for the gov- ernment, wanted to know if any ac- tion yas taken in regard to the 19,000 odd shares of stock which Mellen purchased from Kidder, Peabody and company, of Boston. “The New Haven road had nothing to do with them.” replied the wit- ness. “They were in the hands of THE HERALD WILL NOT BE PUBLISHED TOMORROW (THANKSGIVING DAY).

Washington, Nov. 24 —President Wilson’s annual message to congress, approved unanimously by the cabinet. Wwas nearing completion today. It will be featured by a discussion of national defense and revenues, though other questions on which the president looks to congress for action will be taken up.

Rochester, N. Y., Nov. 24.—The conversion of the United States bu- reau of education into a national uni- versity for school teachers, was ad- vocated today by former President William H. Taft, in an address before | the New York State Teachers’ sociation. Mr. Taft criticised the present sy tem of education in the United States | as being in many instances inefficient and superficial, and suggested that the federal government might, through a system of inspection and criticism aid the states in bringing about higher standards, both in re- spect to teachers and methods. Incidentally, the former president declared ,that the boys of England, Germany and France were better ed\.l» cated than their contemporaries in this country because of lax discipline and lack of thoroughness here. Scheme of Co-operation. Explaining his scheme for co-oper- ation of the federal and state author- ities, Mr. Taft said: “Through its bureau as- of education to promote state education by offer- ihg machinery to the people of a municipality, of a ‘county, or of a state, by which they might, if they chose, have the schools they pay for investigated and examined, and the value of the education given treated by a survey or representative officer of the United States of education. Such officers would be trained ex- perts.” TImprove Teachers. Referring to his plan for {the bureau of education a n university for teachers, Mr. Taft NO MORE BOMBS FOR UNCLE SAM Guards About Public Buildings in Washington Have Orders 10 Search Any Suspects. Washington, Nov. 24.—The watch- fulness of the guards about all the principal government buildings in the capital has been redoubled in special orders. Todays guards stationed at positions commanding all the en- trances in the building which houses | the state, war and navy departments were under orders to question and, if necessary search uny persons of whom they had doubt. Any one carrying a package of any sort was subject to questioning. Hundreds of tourists pass through the buildings daily. Since a bomb explosion wrecked a room in tae capiol last summer and bomb plots generally have kept the | government detectives busy, there has been more than usaal activity among the guards here. Guards employed by railroad com- panies are gonstantly on duty in the railroad tunnel leading to the bridge over the Potomac river, which is the principal gateyay to the south.

Appar- ently heavy fighting is under way in the section of the country wh Teutonic invaders are attempting to form a junction with the Bulgarians. The fate ot Monastir is still in the balance.

OBREGON FORCED TO CHANGE PLANS Rodriguez Escapes From Cananca— Fighting Between Advance Guards. Douglas, Ariz., Nov- 24.—Available Carranza reports early today indicated that the failure of his commanders combined with erroneous information had resulted in a complete change in the plans of General Alvaro Obregon to crush the Villa forces in Sonora and end revolutionary strife in Mexico- General Rodriguez, escaping from Cananea, is reported on his way to | reinforce the Nogales garrison and his army of between 2,000 and 7,000 men. Colonel Cardenas. leading 1,200 Car- ranza cavalry, was last reparted headed for the Sonora river valley in the belief that a few hundred of Rod- as a lure was the main Villa body.

It was brought out yesterday that Robert Winsor and Mellen were at that time, prior to the passage of the holding company act, co-operating in legislative affairs. “Did you make any communication to Winsor other than your order to buy the stock.” “No,” replied the witness. “Or to your board of directors.” “Nothing, other tnan to say that Mr, Winsor had said he had ta charge a price in excess of the usual com- mission because of the great difficul- ty in dislodging the stock.” “Did he say what the were ?"” “He did not.” Attorneys in Boston- Mr, Batts then brought out from the witness that the Boston law firm of Gaston, Snow and Saltonstall were attorneys for the New Haven at the time the holding company act was passed and were also attorneys for Kidder, Peabody & Co. He said that he had been told that a draft of the holding company bill, at the time it was proposed: was in the possession of Frederick E- Snow of that firm. difficulties Boy-Ed Not Guilty. ington, Nov. 24.—Secretary TLansing made it clear today that so f: as he was able to judge Captain Boy-Ed, the German naval attache, was not guilty of any violation of law in supplying funds for the sending out from American ports of Hamburg American vessels to provision German warships at sea.

The German youth at fif- teen is as well prepared to enter a ! and nineteen. He has made up three vears by harder work, longer hours and fewer vacations.

While admitting that there cannot be religious sectarian education in schools supported by public funds ,Mr. Taft urged that the study of the Bible, especiaily the New Testament, is admirably adapted to promote mo- rality and incidentally to stimulate a good English style, In order to mecet the objections of those who are op- »osed to compulsory Biblical instruc- tions and at the same time supply moral instructions in the schools, M=. Taft outlined a plan based on the Gary system. “Moral or ethical instruction,” he | suggested, ‘“might be required for two or three hours of the week and then | any parent or pupil might be per- mitted to substitute for these three hours thus required, religious and Biblical instruction for the same pe- riods by the teacher of any church the parent or student in some of the school rooms designated for the purpose. In that way we | would have some moral instruction for all and religious and Biblical in- structions for those who desired it. Tt would be compulsory in the sense that | some kind of moral instruction would have to be taken.
