MOTHER JUNES TALKS.
Mother Jones was then introduced, and
was greeted wiMi cheers. She began her
address with the quotation: "Man's in-
humanity to man makes count h-st thou-
sands mourn." She told briefly of the
oarly history of immigration to the
United Stat-s. making tin- point that all
the immigrants weie running from ty-
rants of one sort «»r another. She told
<>f tii< defeat of King George of HSnsland
i. y the American revolutionists. "That
was freedom from one sort of slavery,"
she said. 'Then another war put an end
to chattel Flavors. N«»w we are fighting
the war of \uig« slavery. The same
American capitalists whom we are fight-
ing in tlie I'nited States, the Mexican
working people are fighting in Mexico,
rii- Standard Oil crowd, the railroad
owners and the mine owners are there.
In many cases they are the same indi-
viduals. We must help the Mexicans
win their fight oi go down with them.
Tht Yellow Peril is a long ways off, but
the Mexican peril is olo>e at hand."
Mother Jones expressed disgust for the
manner of fighting followed by men. She
• Iso suggested that they have not ae-
• «>mpiishid \ery much by It and are st:!l
Bolng slowly. "Walt until we women
pet nto it," she said, "then we will clean
op czars and despots every day. A wo-
men is tho most desperate fighter in the
•vorld. Put we won't fight with bullets.
I long for the day when all the lead
bullets in the world will be turned into
>ad type and the mind will be appealed
to. 1 was talking to President Taft about
these things not long ago, and he said it j
wouldn't do for the pardoning power to
be in my hand:?. 1 told him that If they
would use half as much energy making
good people out of men as they do to put
them in Jail, they wouldn't need my par-
dons. He's a pretty good sort of a fel-
low, though. He's like the rest of them;
he isn't his own boss."
RESCUE or SARABIA.
Then Mother Jones told the story of the
rescue of Manuel Sarabla. "1 was stand-
ing on the sidewalk in Tucson one day
talking to some men," she said, "when
someone came along and said they had
kidnapped our litle Mexicant revolution-
ist, Sarabla. I asked about the case and
was convinced they ought not to have
taken lnm out of an American jail and
across the border that way. 1 told them
to telegraph the (iovernor of Arizona, a
man named Kibbey, and also telegraph
Washington. Then I started about hav-
ing a meeting. We had the meeting, and
half those people wanted to go right down
into Mexico. Hut finally the Governor
threatened to order out tho State rangers
and send them after Sarabla if he were
not returned. And then Diaz backed
water tind they brought Sarabia back,
and when his case came up in court
they din't have anything against him
at all." ^ ,, ,
Mother Jones, though to years old. has
tho strength of voice and mind of a
much younger person. Her remarks
were full of humor. A native of Ireland,
\her voice has the characteristic rich ac-
cent. She explained the reason for her
activity in cases of this sort last evening
by saying that her own father esoaped
to the United States from Ireland when
she was five years of age because the
British soldiers were alter him.
Miss Is id re. M. de Ibarra, the las.
spei.kor, objected to the manner of the
arrest of Sarabia and Rangel. She pro-
tested that the oficers had no right to
enter the home of the persons arrested
"liko they were hunting hungry wolves.
Miss Ibarra and Davila spoke in Span-
ish.
Tb* meetings v.iU continue Indefinitely.

YOUNG LAWYERS MAKE NOISE.
"As for political disturbances In Mexico,
they amount to nothing. There are al-
ways a few people In every country who
are not satisfied with conditions. Ber-
nardo Heyes is not to blame for this dis-
turbance. ||e is not giving hi.* sanction
to it. They are seizing upon his name
and making him their leacter. fiie activ-
ity of the federal government In send-
ing troops into the few St'it-?* in North-
ern Mexico where trouble might occur
does not Indicate that the government
is threatened. In Europe events in
Mexico are patched because of their bear -
lug on the value of Mexican securities.
General l>i;i7. knows that business is hurt
in Mexico if it Is reported in Paris or
I'erlln that a battle was fought in
Mexico. It Is for that reason troops were
sent in such larger numbers as to make
:i disturbance of any sort improbable.
1 have not the slightest fear in the world
as to the security of the government and
the speedy return of normal conditions, i
Tills noise Is made principally by young
lawyers and others who are not satisfied
because they are not in the game."

Submission—Government Au-
thorities Take the Trail.
PITTSBURG, Pa., Aug. 21.-A charge
of peonage whs formally made late today
against Frank N. Hoffstot, president «>f
the Pressed Steel Car Company, and
Samuel Cohen, head of the service bu-
reau at tho Schoenville plant.
The charge was contained in an affi-
davit sworn to by Albert Vamp, an im-
ported workingman, before United States
Commissioner W. L. i>inusay. The spe-
cific charge is that the two men have
violated Section 6620 of the Revised Stat-
utes cf the United States in having "ar-
rssted, held and returno 1 the complainant
to a condition of peonag?."
Vamp, who claims to he a resident of
New York City, alleges he was brought
hero in complete ignorance of the state
of affairs at Hchoenvllle.
August 16, he avers, he made an at-
tempt to escape from tho plant, first ask-
ing permission from the officers to leave.
He then alleges he was beaten, being
lnujred so badly that he had to go to a
hospital from which institution he was
released only yesterday.
Tho United States Commissioner has
started an investigation.
Tho Austro-FIungarian Consul, Edgar
Ij. G. Pvoicnlck, said tonight he had been
informed that many of his countrymen
were being held in the car company plant
against their will.
"If this bo true," said the consul, I
will take extreme measures to straighten
out the matter."
Late today the car company officials
sent emissaries throughout the strike
zone, it is said, and made advances to
the striking men as individuals. With
the offer or a cash bonus, a month's rent,
free and tho 1907 scale of wages, the
agents asked the striking men to return
to work Monday. It is claimed by tin-
strikers that the car company will he
unable to operate permanently without
skilled workmen, hence the offer.

was ineffective.

HAVANA, Aug. 21.—The feeling of un-
easiness which has prevailed recently,
owing to the circulation of rumors of
conspiracies against the government, was
intensified last night by the departure for
Cayo Cristo of Gen. Pino Guerrera, com-
mander of the army; Gen. Monteaugudo,
commander of the rurales; Inspector Gen-
eral Machada and Secretary oi the In-
terior Lyva, who is also practically Sec-
retary of War, in response to a sudden
summons from President Gomez. Im-
portance is attached to this action be-
cause the president announced today
that he will return to Havana tomorrow.
Among the rumors are those that there
exist serious dissentions among the of-
ficers of the army and that a demand
has been made for the resignation of
General Monteaugudo, between whom and
General Machada there exists jealousy.
A promulgation of the order by the Sec-
retary of the Interior, placing restric-
tions upon the importation of arms and
ammunition and restricting tho stock of
dealers has been issued.
President Gomez's arrival In Havana is

KIDNAPERS OF WORLD'S
FAIR BABY ARE CAUGHT
ARE TAKEN FROM A TRAIN AT
KANSAS CITY.
EVIDENCE MAY SHATTER
BANK CONSPIRACY TALE
FORMER CASHIER OF FAILED
BANK TAKES STAND.
Tot, Which Was Taken From Its
Home in Topeka by a Ruse and
With the Assistance of a Wo-
man, Is Recovered.
KANSAS CITY", Mo., Aug. 21.-Three of
the alleged kidnapers of Marion HIeakley
of Topeka arrived in Kansas City at 11:20
o'clock tonight on a Burlington train
from Atchison. Kan., and were at once
taken into custody. The kidnaped child
was recovered.
A tl.tory has b?en advanced hero that
it was the intention of the kidnapers to
get out of the Stato as soon us possible
In tho belief that the court order of the
Kansas Supreme Court, by which the
mothtr, Mrs. Charlotte UJeakley, seeks
the child, will he invalid in another State.
The penalty for kidnaping: in Kansas
Is a sentence of six months to five years.
The kidnaped child was the St. Louis
World's Fair incubator baby, who was
the cause of litigation extended over
several years.
She was kidnaped In a sensational man-
ner from the home of her mother here
this morning. Tho baby was born in Illi-
nois. Two men and a women were en-
gaged in the kidnaping and the child
was secured only after an exchange of
shots, which, however, went wide of their
marks. The kidnapers fled in a buggy.
The little gnl. who is five years old,
has been carefully guarded at Topeka,
and has been constantly attended. This
morning a woman ostensibly selling soap
appeared at the HIeakley home. She soon
left. Half an hour later a buggy in
which were two men and the same wo-
man appeared in front of the house. One
man alighted and entered tho yard where
the child was ploying with a neighbor
in whose charge she had been left. As
the kipnapers ran toward her, the neigh-
bor, a youth, attempted to interfere. The
kidnaper shot at him but missed. He
then knocked the boy down with the re-
volver, carried the child to the buggy
and drove off.
Telis of Plan to Turn Over Assets
Long Ago and Reduce Capital, but
Plan Was Objected to by
the Comptroller,
ASHEVILLE, N. C., Aug. 21.-W. tt.
Penland, former cashier of the failed
I'lrst National Hank, who Is Indicted
jointly with Messrs. itreese and Dlckcr-
son, but is not on tr'ai, gave evidence
today which, if unshaken on cross-ex-
amination, may disprove the claim that
there was a conspiracy among the three
men named to defrau 1 the bank.
Witness told of the money borrowed
by him, his mother and Eister from tli®
bank in 1887 and 18SS. the money being
used to develop real estate. In 1S0>
said, he favored the closing of th" b.i.ik
and the turning over -.it his property and
that of his mother and sister to the
bank, such property ung w >rth $l«*(i tXK>.
Penland went on to state that it las
pointed out such a plan would greatly
depreciate the value of the property.
He told of the prop »val that the tanki
reduce its capital stock ona-half. liqui-
date the $20,000 surpius, and chantra from,
a National to a Statu hank. Such plan,
he said, was made impossible byt the
Comptroller, who declared that the pro-
jected change would endanger tho Na- •
tional bank in this city.
Mr. Penland said tlrU -he loans to him
and family were approved bv the direc-;
tors, that K. It. Ilawls, one of those)
alleged in the bill to have been defraud-,
ed, was a director, and as a member of|
the examining committee passed or* the'
notes and that the latter discussed the
letters sent to and »ecei/ed l'rom the

Street Car Men's President Arrives in
Chicago, Where Trouble Threatens.
CHICAGO. 11!., Aug. 21.—The arrival In
this city today of President William D.
Mahon of the International Street Car
Men's Union, gave a brighter outlo/k io
the controversy between the street ear
companies and their employes, who have
ihreatened to strike if their demands for
higher wages are refused.
Although President Mahon declined to
make any statement in regard to the
situation, it is said he is strongly op-
posed to a walk-out, and would endeavor
to the best of his means to avert such
action on the part of the street tar men.
Immediately after l is arrival here he
was taken to the union headquarters,
where he held a conference with the of-

and will never be a vehicle to take the place of the Victoria for the use of ladies
who can afford a coachman and "pair". This is particularly true of the Babcock
Victoria.... As it is with the Babcock Victoria, so it is with the Babcock Carriages,
Surreys, Phietons, BuggKes and Runabouts, nothing quite so stylish and good.
Once you buy a Babcuck vehicle, you will never be satisfied with any other make.
And yet, the prices we make on these first-quality vehicles place them within the
reach of modest purses.... The Mitchell Delivery Wagons, Farm Wagons, Heavy

owner of either a Babcock or a Mitchell vehicle. We know they will advise you to
buy those makes.... We are always getting second-hand vehicles in part pay for
new ones, and we put prices on them to move them quick... .We have anything
you may waqt in harness and at prices that you wiil not complain of. Horses,
too—always have some good single and double drivers; ani they are cheaper now
