This is F. Sumner, the Washington
cobbler who mends the shoes of the
presidents. His little shop is not far
from the White House, and some of
his best customers have been the chief
executives and their families. Me-
McKinley was his first presidential
patron, and Roosevelt, he says, was
the best. The colonel had a liking for
tan shoes, and Mr. Wilson wears light-
er footgear than any of his predeces-
sors.
Brimingham, England, Mar.
15. — Worshippers in the
cathedral today found the'walls
and floors of the edifice covered
with suffragette proclamations
painted in white letters a foot
high, reading:
“Votes for women! The clergy
must rise in our behalf and stop
the torturing of women in
prison!”
Every foot of space except the
altar had a sign painted on it, in-
cluding the pews.
The work is believed to have
been done by women who con-
cealed themselves in the cathe-
dral last night. It is thought
it was done for the benefit of the
judges of the assizes, who at-
tended services today. The as-
sizes open here tomorrow.

ter. The sum stolen, wbicU was
partly in silver and partly in cur-
rency, was in charge of Reb
Martin, railway messenger of
the Wells Fargo Company.,
The robbery was committed
by a middle-aged white man,
who had hidden himself in the
baggage car behind some boxes
and trunks.
He had evidently gained en-
trance to the car before the train
left Houston, but was not ob-
served until the train was going
through a stretch of timber
country just north of Helbig.
At that point the robber
sprang from his hiding place and
covered Messenger Martin with
a revolver.
Word was sent to Houston im-
mediately after the robbery took
place. Martin made a report to
Superintendent Taft, and special
officers of both the railroad and
express companies were detailed
to go to the scene at once.
Martin reported to the office of
the express company in Houston
that when the robber made his
appearance he covered him (Mar-
tin) with a gun and ordered
to lay down on the floor,
order was promptly obeyed
the robber evidently jumped
of the car with the money.
When the conductor of
train found Martin he was
on the floor.
Officials of the Kirby Lumber
Company declined to discuss the
matter Wednesday afternoon.
It was admitted at the office that
pay day was due at Browndell,
but those in the office declined to
say whether money had been
sent from Houston or not.
Martin has been in the employ
of the Wells Fargo Express Com-
pany about four years and has
always been considered one of
the best messengers in the
service.

El Paso, Texas, Mar. 18.—The
thousands of persons in this
section whose fortunes are
locked up in the military and
political developments in Mexico
today awaited authentic infor-
mation of the reported battle
north of Torreon. In the last 24
hours exactly 15 wmrds of a press
■dispatch seeped through thecen-
sokand over the single telegranb
lij)*? connecting Juarez with
sent war zone. It was
stricted as to be Scarce
than an index of what it is as-
sumed the censor removed.
Meanwhile federal agents here
asserted that General Villa,
moving confidently in the direc-
tion of Torreon, suddenly came
upon the federals 100 miles north
of where he had expected them,
was defeated at Escalon, on the
main line of the railway, and at
Rosario.
If tbe claims of the federals
are correct, General Villa had to
do battle. for his life and still is
in a precarious position withan
enemy in front and another
threatening a flank.movement to
occupy his rear.
Federals assert, and tl’c.e
were rumors to the same effect
in the redel camp at Juarez, that
the fi r s t federal detachment
moved out of Torreon west of a
range of mountains beyond
which lies/ Escalon and the rail-
road. This column, proceeding
in the direction of Parral, is said
to have come upon the rebel gen-
eral, Urbino, at Rosario, and the
latter was forced to retreat pen-
ding the arrival of reinforce-
ments. Rosaria is 110 miles
west of Jiminez, and the latter
city is directly in the rear of
Escalon.
The Federal attack at Escalon
apparently was delayed until
the western column on the other
side of the mountains had engag-
ed Urbina. Exact information
as to the fortunes of this general
were eagerly, though not con-
fidently, awaited today. Feder-
als here claim that not only was
the rebel western column defeat-
ed at Rosario, but that it was
unable to prevent the entry of
Huerta troops into Jiminez. If
this proves true, much of Villa’s
’ army has been cut off from re-
treat with an enemy in front and
■ behind and mountains and the
desert on either side.

All those pupils, who wish to

be given at the close of school,
should be present Friday to re-
ceive their pieces.
