Seagirt. N. J, July 29-—Governor
Wilson returned to the summer cap-
ital at Seagirt tonight after a five
days' cruise at sea.
The governor brought with him a
shorthand draft of the speech of ac-
ceptance of the f'residential nomina-
tion. it is about six thousand words
long Tomorrow night he will dic-
tate the speech to a stenographer In
preparation for the press.
The secret made of the governor’s
movement during the last few days
was cleared when he returned to-
ntght . He had spent the Iasi five
ilajs on Cleveland H. Dodge's yacht
Coronla, a sailing craft of less than
130 tons burden. The governor said
the cruise was pleasant and extend-
ed Into Long Island Sound.
"Just as 1 had completed my plans
for a week away from interruptions
a! a friend’s country home, my old
friend a.nd classmate Cleveland H.
Irodge generously suggested that I
lake his yacht and run into quiet
waters somewhere as a complete es-
cape from business. It was a delight-
ful solution of my difficulties, for It
is not easy to get away from busi-
ness nowadays.
"Mrs. Wilson, my daughter Marga-
ret, and Dudley Field Malone went
with me.
"Since then we have been lying
quiet at some safe anchorage dur-
ing the night and cruising about the
sound In the daylight and moonlight.
The weather was Ideal."
A statement that the Stanley re-
port had been seen and approved by
Governor Wilson before it had been
made public, the governor declared
to be untrue. He said he had also
been misrepresented In the battle-
ship matter
"My position In regard to such
matters Is that I have no right to In-
tervene In the program of the house,"
he said

He cited repeated instance* of in-
solence, innumerable acts of insult,
untold exultations over vituperations
passed by congress so that the federal
authorities might be sure they were
acMng within their rights.
The chamber of commerce called
a meeting for 3 o’clock to discuss the
expressed toward all Amerians. It | question and make arrangements for
was the most terrible narrative of
treatment toward Americans ever lis-
tened to in the southwest.
Measures of Relief.
Mayor Kelly arose and told how he
and Judge Eylar had wired Senators
Bailey, Culberson, Fall. Smoot and
others of the true conditions in Chi-
huahua and Eastern Sonora. Later a
message was received from Washing
ton to the effect that Heritor Fall had
introduced a resolution In Congress,
which had been instantly passed, au-
thorizing Colonel E. Z. Bteevcr at Fort
Bliss to turn over all tents and mili-
tary eqluprm nt which might be need-
ed to properly care for tnr, incom-
ing refugees.
But before this word was received
Judge Kylar and Mayor Kelly had al-
realy taken action. They had given
orders and Instructed both the city
and the county physicians to care for
any of the refugees that might need
medical aid. They had arranged that
all refugees now In (he city would be
housed at Magoffin avenue and the
Texas Pacific, crossing and orders
were Issued to see that sanitary ar-
rangements were made there at once-
Refugees Guests of City.
Everything was rushed to these
temporary quarters. Ice. milk and
everything that might be needed w-as
sent and the refugees told that they
would oblige tho people of El Paso if
they would make out a list of what
they wanted- nothing would be luck-
ing.
Tears coursed down the cheeks of
the women and children at the hospi-
tality extended to them, latter tho
committee appointc<l met and saw to
It that every attention was shown the
the care of the refugees. But, even
while good plans were being made
there Mayor Kelly and County Judge
Eylar were rushing the-Tefugees out
to Magoffin avenue and the Texas Pa-
cific crossing where they were housed
In an old lumber yard whose sheds
protected them from rain and sun.
The city sanitary department was
Immediately Instructed to get to work
and put In sewer connections. This
was done. Dr. W. H. Anderson, head
of the health department was given
charge of the- quarters and he Imme-
diately set to work making them sani-
tary.
Lumber was secured, a floor pul In
and arrangements made for beds. Ice
water was rushed to the place and
plenty of lee procured. One aged wo-
man, wno was III, was Immediately
given medical treatment and proper-
ly cared for.
All this was done so quickly that El
Paso has not yet realized that so man
people could be so well cared for In
such a short length of time.

1-os Angeles, Calif., July 29.--
Agents of the Mexican government
have learned that Mexican rebels
have opened headquarters here and
are working energetically to reor-
ganize the scattered forces of the
Insurgents.
It Is said that the Intention of
Orozco is to abandon Chihuahua, re-
sume operations In Sonora and grad-
ually move toward the western coast
of Mexico.

Mormon Church Will AsQsl.
'•So far as money Is concerned
many of these refugees are without
means. They have left everything—
their farms But our church Is he-
hind us We have received advices
today from President Joseph F. Smith,
now at < irean Psrk, California, In-
structing us to draw on him for any-
thing that we may need
tears for Colonists’ Lives.
"We have appealed to Salazar and
other leaders 'Go to Huerta or Taft,'
was their reply. They have laughed
In our faces and shown us every man-
ner of indignities that I did not be-
lieve that man could stand.
"We ask that you extend to us—
not as mendicant*—but as people
needing momentary assistance, tempo-
rary quarters. Many of our people
will leave for their relatives’ homes
In Idaho, Wyoming. Colorado, Utah
and Arizona at once. Apostle Ivins,
who is not well, has been up day and
night to arrange railroad transporta-
tion for them.
"The Orozco movement is now with-
out money. They are looting wherev-
er they go. Conditions could not
possibly he more grave.
•‘Up to Saturday we thought we
might ■ ’come through.’ But after
Salazar's edict we realized at last
that we were facing a grave situa-
tion.
Omani's and Salazar's Defiance

cans call us bandits. We propose to
live up to the name They call us
murderers We will prove that we
are murderers. These are Orozco's
orders. We are after Intervention and
we will get it. The Taft government
don't dare to fight. We'll kill as
many Americans as we can and see
if we can force the cowardly Taft ad-
ministration into a fight. We'lt whip
them like wo have licked the Madero
soldiers Taft don't dare fight- He
and hts following are dirty, cowardly
American dogs.'

end such insults. We have been will-
ing to suffer more. But for fear of
our families being massacred we have

Committee Appointed.
At the conclusion of fh* talk there
was no applause. It was not a time
for plaudit*.
The representative men of the city
present had but few words. They
showed to their great credit that they
realized that thJ situation demanded
action and not words.
Committee of Assistance.
President Clayton appointed the
following committee to work with the
representative of the colonics who had
delivered the most stirring, heart
compelling, yet simple story of hu-
man outrage ever heard within the
walls of the El Paso Chamber of
Commerce- The following were nam-
ed:
James A Dick, chairman; J. H. Na-
tions. Thomas O'Keeffe, J. C. Wll-
marth. H. S. Potter. George Tlory.
D M. Payne. J. A Smith and W. S
Clayton.
Murdered By Red Flaggers.
The rpesker was then askad several
questions by those present. "Have
they killed any of us?” h* repeated.
"There Is Adam* and two or three
others murdered In cold blood. But
The second train hearing refugees
from the settlements of Americans in
Western Chihuahua reached the Et
Paso Union station yesterday at noon.
There were approximately 000 per-
sons, mostly women and children In
the party. They were met at the sta-
tion by A. W. Ivins, Henry Bowman,
and other representatives of the colo-
nies and taken to a temporary camp
provided by dty ami county author-
ities on Magoffin avenue, near the
electric car barns.
Four freight cars, loaded with what
little household effects the refugees
could bring with them tn their flight,
were a part of the special train. The
most of the people were from Colonla
Dublsn. About 100 American men
remain there, hut there are only two
women left In that colony.
The huddled groups of homeless
Americans, standing In the station,
being transported to their temporary
camps In all sorts of conveyances, and
finally attempting to make the best
of the terrible stress through which
they are going under the protection
of the local authorities, gave El Paso's
people a subject for discussion all
day. It was one of the most pitiful
spectacles ever seen here—hundreds
of prosperous families reduced In a
twinkling to homeless waifs In a
strange community.
Distribution of some of the fami-
nes to colonies In Arizona will begin
in a day or two. Others will he sent
to the Mormon settlements in Utah
and Idaho, where many of them have
relatives. It Is probable that settlers
will be nrrlvlng from the Chihuahua
and Sonora colonies for a week or
two to come, abandoning their homes
In that section until the Red Flag re-
bellion ahall have been suppressed.
Adolfo Puentes, who has been held
by the immigration authorities on a
charge or unlawfully entering the
United State*, was released from cus-
tody last night at six o'clock. It is
charged that Puentes ran past the
Inspectors in an automobile, but was
later caught by state rangers. Ad-
vices from Washington caused the
local Immigration men to release
Puentes. Ho immediately went to
Juarez upon gaining his liberty.
GONZALEZ MADE A
SCAPEGOAT
BY OROZCO.
Superintendent Gonzalez of tho
Red Flag Immigration service, has
been made a scapegoat by Orozco In
order that the "Generalissimo" might
win favor In the eyes of Americans.
Saturday night Gonzalez was given
orders to stop all Americans from
going to Juarez and to keep all that
were In Juarez at the time from com-
ing back without a written permit.
Now Orozco comes out. saying that
ho did not give such orders and that
Gonzalez was assuming too much nu-

BEHIND THE SCENES
Houston’s Leading Druggist Tells
About Plant iuice Testi- .
monials.
E. M. Alflbury, with F. H. Alabury <fc
Co., well known engineer** and contrac-
tor*, who Ujllt the McKee atreet
bridge ir» Houston, talked as follows
to the proprietor* of Rouse’s
store In Houston, Tex.
“That Plant Juice is a wonderful
treatment, 1 have been buying it for
my wife. She has been a sufferer
from stomach and nervous troubles for
a long time. We have tried many
things but the results were never satis-
factory. I got some Plant Juice for
her and it has worked a wonderful
change In her vase.''
Regarding the manner of getting
Plant Juice testimonials, Druggist
Rouse states that they are brought
voluntarily Into the store in the same
manner this one was.
When Mr. Alsbury was asked if he
would sign his name to his statement
for publication, he said:
"Yes. sir, you can publish it. and it
is the first medicine I ever endorsed
with my signature; but Plant Juice Is
worthy of It and I am glad to do It."
There is no tonic so effective In com-
batting ailments of ‘Stomach, liver,
kidneys and blood as Plant Juice. It
acts quickly and directly and will do
you more good In less time than any-
thing you have ever taken. Go to
Kelly A- Pollard's drug store and get a
bottle from the Plant Juice man. If
you are not benefited after taking It
bring It back to him and he will re-
fund your money.

Ihority. The result is that Gonzalez j 10 ilRhL
manded (he respect of the nations of
the world.
As a leader of his people In peace
and In war he was both loved and
feared. To his virtues they attributed
the victories over their enemies, by
land and sea. To his wisdom they
credited the advance of ancient Japan
to a place In the front rank of na-
tions.
His reign began In 1867 and out-
lasted that of all but two or three
living monarch*. Under his rule Ja-
pan enjoyed an unprecedented era of
prosperity. Civilization has made ra-
pid strides. The arts and ideas of the
western world have been adopted and
Japan has emerged from darkness In-
The New Emperor.
The crown prince Yoshlhito, who
succeeds to the throne, was born Aug.
13. 1879. He was made heir appar-
driig i ('nl Aug. 31.1887, proclaimed crown
prince Nov. 3, 1 888 and decorated
with the Grand Order of Merit and
Grand Insignia of the Imperial Chrys-
anthemum. He was promoted to be
a lieutenant colonel in the army and
commander In the navy in 1901. He
became lieutenant general and vice
admiral on Nov. 3, 1909.
The Prince was married to Princess
badako, daughter of Prince Kujo
Mlchltaka on May 10. 1900.
Impressive Scenes.
The ceremony at the sanctuary will
be repeated in the next two days.
A more Impressive scene occurred
In the throne room of the palace when
the new emperor, Yoshlhito, received
the sacred treasures. His majesty en-
tered the hall preceded by the min-
ister of the household, the chief of
the board of ceremonies, the lord
chamherlain, military and naval aides
and the imperial prince. He was fol-
lowed by Prince Yamagata, president
of the privy council, Marauis Matsu-
kata, member of the privy council,
Marquis imouyo, councillor of state,
and others of similar rank, the
premier Marquis Balonji, their min-
isters of state, marshals, generals and
admirals.
Lacking Brilliancy.
The scene lacked brilliancy al-
though not solemnity, for the majority
of those present were without uni-
forms. They had remained in the
palace for two days and were not I
given time to repair to their homos |
prior to the ceremony.
The emperor ascended the throne \
before which had been placed simple ■
wooden tables. On these reposed the ]
sacred sword and necklace, two of the I
three sacred treasures.
The third of the sacred treasure#,
.the mirror, which is deposited in the i
shrine of. Ise. will be received by the I
emperor. The imperial and national j
seals also were taken over by his j
majesty, who immediately arose and |
standing, received the homage of the !
entire assembly. This concluded the I
ceremony.
The emperor then returned, fol- i
lowed by the ministers and the mili-
tary aides bearing the sacred trees- 1
ures, and by the lord chamberlain i
who hore the seals.
The date for the funeral has not j
yet been fixed.

KTARYING REBEL ATE
OUT OF GARBAGE BARREL
Ramon Flores, one of Orozco's
Red Flag soldiers, was found last
night eating out of a garbage bar-
rel In the rear of an Oregon street
store. The proprietor of the store
found him and asked what he was
doing. The soldier replied that he
was hungry, that he was almost
starved and that he had nothing to
eat for a solid week. He also told
the storekeeper that there was noth-
ing to eat In Juarez and that all of
tho soldiers were tn the same plight
that he was. He was taken Into the
store by the proprietor and given a
meal. He went on his way rejoic-
ing and profoundly thanking the
kind hearted "Gringo."
In 1869 the emperor established a
deliberative assembly. This and other
reforms then inaugurated ended feud-
alism which had existed for centu-
ries 'n Japan, and the nation moved
forward on the road of progress.
Everything European was eagerly
adopted. Including frock coats and
patent leather boots for officials. Tor-
ture was abolished in 1873 and a
modern judicial code was authorized.
The first railway was built in ^872
and the English language was taught
tn common schools. The emperor rea-
lized early in his career that Japan's
supremacy in the east depended large-
ly upon her ability to rule the seas
and he promptly added modern bat-

FIGHT IN PROSPECT
OVER WATER POWER
-v t
NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION AN
CONGRESS WILL PROBABL7
TRY CONCLUSIONS THIS WEEK
Associated Press Dispatch.
Washington, July 29.—7The admin- j
Istration is lining up for a fight in :
congress in defense of its policy of
the conservation of water powers and
in this Instance President Taft ha®
behind him such men as Gtfford Pin-
chot, former chief forester, and oth-
er conservation leaders.
Secretary of War Sttmson developed
the Issue when he instructed the arn.v
englneers to report In every case
whether the project had any commer-
cial value at present: whether that
value was likely to enhance in the
future; whether the particular stream
was likely to be improved at the pub-
lic expense.
Immediately protest* came from
congressmen who are furthering bill*
for the development of water power*.
The secretary, backed by President
Taft, served an ultimatum on these
senators, and repreaentatlves that no
water power bill would be approved
by the war department unless a
clause is Inserted looking To the di-
vision of the profits with the national
government
Today word came from the capitol
to the war department that a com-
bination had been effected of the con-
gressmen who believe the capitalists
who are willing to undertake the risk
of developing the water powers are
entitled to ail the reward and that an
effort la to be made Wednesday to
bring up all these measures In an
omnibus bill already favorably re-
ported, and put it through the house.
