S8TRONG MILITARY PATROL ESTABLISHED AT EL PASO Burial of Three of the Victims of the = -Santa Ysabel Massacre. E1 Paso Texas Jan. f4—The bodies of 4hree of the victims of the mas- sacrhe near Santa Ysabel were buried hera today. without any demonstration on the part of Americans whose threats of reprisals asainst Mexicans led to the establishment last night of = strong military patrol and for a time threatened serious consequences. Those whose obsequies were held today were Thomas Evans M. B. Romero and J. H. Woon. THe only cause for serious anxiety herg today on the part of the military and municipal authorities was the pos. sible fate of a party of Americans en- route from Chihuahua City and the vicinity of the massacre of last Mon: day. < This anxiety however was dis- pelled tonight when a special train arrived - bearing fifty-two American refugees amiong whom were a num- ber of women and children. More than 150 Americans still re- main in what is considered the dan- ger,.gone however and some apprehen- sion is felt regarding their safety. A train, which was despatched for them from’ El Paso last night, was reported to have arrived tonight at Parral, at which point the refugees were to mo- bilize. _They are expected to arrive In I Paso Monday. It is said pre- cautions will be taken by Carranza authorities to obviate the - possibiilty of an attack on the train by the out- laws. - ‘Reports of Incendiary Posters. polorts that incendiary posters had circulated throughout Juarez were reckived tohight, but Mexican consu- lar” officlals asserted that they had been unable to find any of these.

Practically all of the big universi- ties and colleges this year have en- tered teams for the intercollegiate rifle champlonship of the United which will be contested for nine colleges and universities have se- lected teams of ten men each and a series of thirteen matches will be shot. These matches begin January 15 ana continue ugtil April 8. Each team will shoot on its home range against a team shooting elsewhere. The scores of the five highest men on each team will constitute the record for the team. The regulations call for the use of .22 calibre rifles, each man shooting 20 shots prone at 50 feet. The thirty-nine teams have been divided in thres ‘classes. The championship trophy will be awarded to the Class “A” team having the highest score at the end of the competition and medals will be given to the winning teams of Class “B" and Class “C.” Teams composing the three classes are: Class A: Washington State college, Pullman, Wash.; Massachusetts Agri- cultural college, Amherst, Mass.; State University of Iowa, Jowa City; West Virginia University, Morgantown; Cor- nell University, Ithaca, N.

Munitions Shares and Bethlehem Steel New York, Jan. 14—The unsettle- ment created yesterday by acute con- ditions in Mexico was dispelled to a considerable degree today, in conse- quence of assurances from Washing- ton and other officlal sources. For a time, however, shares of companies {operating in that ill-fated country were under severe restraint, but moved for- ward in the final hour, Mexican Pe- troleum making an extreme gain of 4 7-8 at 115 7-8 and American Smelt- ing 2 3-4 at 107. Shares of the munitions companies recovered, some of them buoyantly, from low prices of the mid-week, Cru- cible Steel leading the rise with am overnight gain of 9 1-2 to 69 1-2. Con- current strength was shown by Beth- lehem Steel, which advanced 25 to 455 and gave color to rumors that inter- ests in that company had acquired a large block of Crucible. Other strong and active issues in the war group included Baldwin and American_Locomotive, American Car, Pressed_Steel Car, Lackawanna Steel, rGeat Northern Ore, Colorado Fuel and the motors. There was more man- ipulation in some of the high priced specialties whose products form the basis of war supplies, notably Ameri- can Coal Products, International Nick- el, Corn Products and U. S. Industrial Alcohol, the latter scoring a new rec- ord on its gain of 5 1-4 to 138 3-4. Mercantile Marine stocks and bonds were the strongest and most active of the standard issues, preferred ris- ing 2 1-4 to 80 5-8 and the 4 1-2 per cent. bonds one point to 99 5-8, both new records. Dealings in marine bonds constituted the real feature of the bond market and strengthened the belief that events are shaping towards a settlement of differences between opposing interests in the company. Later in the session speculation trickled into new channels, chiefly tel- ephone and telegraph shares, which are unusually active at higher quota- tions. Partial explanation of this movement was offered by the report of the Western Union Telegraph com- pany, whose statement for 1915 dis- closed net income of $10,218,381 against $3,371,395 in 1914, United States Steel followea the gen- eral trend of the market, rising 1 3-8 to 86 5-8, but was overshadowed by the activity in special stocks. Rails also showed firmness, but were rela. tively dull. Total sales of stocks amounted to 720,000 shares, Aside from the strensth of marines, the bond market was irregular. Total sales, par value, aggregated $6,100,000. DUnited States bonds were unchanged on call. STOCKS. Sales. 100 Adams Express 200 Alaska .

Coliyer Lost American Lightweight Title to Billy Edwards. Doc Almy in the Boston Sunday Post recently calls attention to the 42 round fight between Billy Bdwards and Sam Collyer found on a little island off Mystic on March 2, 1870. The old timers remember how Sam Collyer and Patsey Sheppard hurled challenges to Edwards from all quar- ters, but there were all let go unheed- ed by Billy, who preferred to_devote his time to the boiler shops where he was employed. Collyer _eventually claimed the lightweight championshi) and his_claim was allowed by the press. Finally Edwards came out of his shell and announced that he would meet either Collyer or Sheppard for a side bet of $1,000 a side. Sheppard immediately decided that he did not want to fight and dropped out. Not &0 with Collyer, however, and agreements were signed whereby the two should meet at a point within 400 miles east of New York on March 2, 1870. The toss falling to Edwards, he named Mystic Island as the place to stage the battle. Police Tried to Stop Training. The formalities all duly completed, the men went into training, Edwards at quarters in Ninety-second etreet, New York, under the direction of Dooney Harf®, and Collyer in Balti- more, where he was assisted by John 0ddy and Herr Holton, the latter a stage cannonball tosser. Edwards was bothered by the police, who threatened to arrest him if he did not stop train- ing. Billy immediately changed his quarters. The morning of March 2 found the combatants and the host of seconds, camp followers and admirers at the place of meeting. At 8 o'clock the principals went on the scales, Bdwards lifting the bar to 120 1-2 pounds, while Collyer topped 12§. "As a matter of fact, this was a killing poundage for him, a point that was foreseen by Ed- wards, and would have been given more consideration by Collyer but for his intense desire to get the English- man between ropes. "Twas a Roughhouse. The fight that followed Was a flerce one, a habit with the old-timers. As was his wont, Collyer went in to slug his way to victory, and in the initial roung drew first blood and copped Bd- wards a right to the chin that dropped him. Sam showed in front in the sec- ond, the round ending with Edward: being thrown and fallen on somewha: after the manner of the present day Jlu-jitsu. In the third Edwards began to warm up and land, but was thrown by_Samuel and given the knees. Despite the rough treatment and sore ribs, Billy came out confident in the fourth. The Post's story of the battle is as follows: Edwards opened with left to Sam's nose, crossed right to jaw. There was a clinch; they broke and then stood toe to toe and swapped. Collyer’s Tight eye retired for the day, and Edwards crashed him two on the neck that rocked him. Blinded by blood and wild with rage, Sam at- tempted to close. Edwards' straight lefts and rights held him off. It was the turning point of the fight, a battle that was to end Collyer's career in the ring as a pugilist of the first rank. In this round Collyers lower jaw was broken, but aside from himself and his seconds, none about the ring were are of it, aithough it was evident something was wrong with him. The agony because of this injury that Collyer underwent must have been something frightful, but he was sheer grit and a fighter all the way through, and the battle went on for 42 rounds. There are many.in the present day ring who are ready to ehriek and quit if an opponent steps on their toe; think of Collyer sticking to it for 45 minutes. Edwards Stops Collyer. In the. 42d round the end came. Ed- wards whipped right to the jaw and left to temple, and Sam Collyer, third cham- plons, went down and out, losing his title for keeps along with his stake. He was carried from the ring a wreck and it was 30 minutes before he was able to talk. In the meantime the fans, and among them his late admirers, cleared out, leaving the injured man and fallen idol alone on the island, with the excep- tion of his fiithful trainer, John Oddy. So sudden is the shift from fame to misfortune; so fickle the throng that cringes, smirks and smiles about the throne of popularity . Collyer on his return to Baltimore issued a letter in which he praised Billy Edwards and admitted that the New Yorker had won fairly and squarely. Attached to the letter was a challenge, but Bdwards refused to give it serious attention, and was sustained by the public. ‘About this time Barney Aaron, the ex-champion, elso chal- lenged, and arrangements were made for him to meet Edwards for the titl but the match fizzled out.

Yale's track dates for the season have been announced, knights of the cinder path a total of nine events before the short Aside from the list published Yale will have a spring meet for.the track team and will hold an interscholastic contest for the pre- paratory school athletes of the east, making a total of eleven events for the season.

Crimson Athlete Undecided as to What He Will Do When He Leavea tfter his graduation from Harvard June, for the possibility if his nu’: ing the Boston Braves is regarded as @ fairly safe bet. Mahan is slated for the big leagues, if he cares to take the jump and there is only one ofher feld of endeavor_that has the same attraction with TWim as professional basehall. That is football coaching. Will Be Free Agent. ‘When he gets his degree at Harvard in June, Mahan will be a free agent, unshackled of all amateur restrictions and the like. He may then choose to do as ke wishes in the way of earning a yearly wage. Bacause of the close association of Percy D. Haughton and Mahan, it is likely that the football star will give his former coach the prior Tight to claim him as an em- ploye, if Haughton wishes to. Mahan has one more season of col- legé baseball to go through before he will have finished his athletic work at Harvard. Next month he will answer the preliminary call for battery candi- dates for the varsity ball team, and report for work each day. As a result of his steady work in the pitchers box last year, Mahan is slated to be one of Harvard's pitching mainstays during the coming season. To pre- serve his amateur status, however, Ed- die must hold aloof from all binding contracts, and so there is no chance of his signing up with the Braves or any other major league ball club un- til late next June, when the last of the Yale-Harvard baseball games has been played. A year ago Charles Brickley was in a similar position, for he had been of- fered the head coaching job at Johns Hopkins. Brickley came to an under- standing with the Baltimore college and signed no_ contract until after the Harvard baseball season came to a close. Mahan Undecided. Mahan has promised to sign with no team as vet. He has not made up his mind exactly as to what he will €o when he leaves college. He has re- ceived many good offers to be football coach at universities and colleges in the South and West, but so far he has not revealed his inclination. Unless the professional baseball lure proves stronger, he may go into coaching. Professional baseball clubs have looked ratherly longingly at the Har- vard star for more than a year. Scouts from half a dozen big league teams have lcpked him over in his games for Harvard, and Barney Dreyfuss of the Pirates was reported to have been hot on Mahan's trail with a contract but Mahan denied that he had any agreement with the Pittsburgh mag- nate at the time. Should Mahan decide on basebail as | a career he will undoubtedly go to the Braves, for his friendship with Haughton ‘would lead him to follow under P. D’s banner. Mahan has a great respect for his head coach and would like nothing better than to em- bark under Haughton’s direction if he chose baseball to follow. He will have nearly six months in which to make up his mind, however, for his signing a contract will be out of the question unt{l the latter part of June. Mahan is not only a pitcher of the first calibre but a very clever outflelder. Danny Moeller of the Washington team, who saw Mahan playing centre field in a college game, said he was the best| outfielder he has ever watched in col- lege haseball. Mahan bats for about .270 wken he is in normal form. Golfers Elect Officers.

The trial of Mrs. Elizabeth F. Mohr and two negroes, Cecil Victor Brown and Henry Spellman, charged with the murder of the woman's husband, Dr. C. Franklin Mohr, a well known phy- sician of Providence, R. L, and New- port, began in Providence. There is no death penalty in Rhode Island and a conviction wonld probably result in a sentence of life imprisonment. The Jury was completed after Willlam H. Lewis of Boston, who is a negro and a former assistant United States at- torney general and counsel for Brown, questioned each man as to his attitude regarding the alleged confessions of the negroes that they had shot down the doctor and seriously wounded his secretary, Miss Emily G. Burger, in their stalled automobile on Aug. 31, 1915, at the instigation of Mrs. Mohr. The two men later repudiated their purported statements. Efforts were made without success to have Mrs. Mohr, who is/ charged with being an accessory before the fact, tried sep- arately. George W. Healis, chauffeur for Dr. Mohr, pleaded nolo contendre to a charge of manslaughter, and Judge Rathbun deferred sentence, which it was unofficially stated, would not be pronounced until after the trial of Mrs. Mohr, Brown and Spellman.
