CLAIMS HEAVY LOSS THROUGH REBEL BANDS Executive Refuses to Commit Himself on New York Po lice Situation. Bridges Burned and Telegraph Wires Cut Permission Granted to Move Troops. New York, Sept 11. The Southern Pacific Railroad company has appeal ed to the state department at Wash' Ington to protect its interest In Mex ico. The chairman of the executive committee of the railroad .made this announcement today. Simultaneously a formal statement was Issued contain ing telegrams received by the com pany that bodies of rebels, varying In size from bands of 100 to 3000 were pillaging the country, cutting tele graph wires and burning bridges. Washington, Sept. 11. Permission given to move 1200 Mexican troops through United States territory to at tack the Mexican rebels In the state of Sonora, and the reported repulse and retreat from the border of the rebel leader. General Salazar, and his men, combined yesterday to bring sat isfaction to government officials here, The permission to move troops was granted Mexico without hesitation and everything will be done to insure the careful transportation of the federals. While a certain amount of unrest will exist on the International boundary lino as long as the trouble In Mexico continues, officials here are deeply gratified that the scene of hostilities apparently is being removed from the border. With a considerable force of federals already garrisoning strategic towns In Sonora, it Is expected that the 1200 additional men will be sum dent either to subdue the malcontents or -force them further touth, ,. . President Taft yesterday authorized commercial shipments of 1000 rifles, shotguns, pistols and revolvers and 183,000 cartridges and shells from New York to Mexico by water. The shipments are destined for undlsturb ed portions of the republic. General Steever's message of last night telling of the OJinga battle re ported the rebels y repulsed and the situation on the American side of the line as quiet. General Schuyler, from Fort Huachua, Ariz., reported many rebels across tho border ' and last night said a force of 700 rebels under Roihs and Campa disabled a train south of Mace and took possession of San Pedro. They threatened to dyna mite bridges. Statements purporting to come from Cananea report the fed eral garrison there strengthened. Aajua, Prlrta Menaoeu. Douglas. Ariz.. Sept. 11. The rebel leader. Colonel Antonio Rojas, for mally demanded the surrender today of Agua Prieta. Unless the town sur rendered within 24 hours, Rojas de clared he would attack with 1000 men The federal garrison numbers 200. Agua Prieta was brought by John myself."

Scott said Rojas had 900 well armed men 12 miles south. MB DUTCH' FOB lYOROYiR Race Is Between Roosevell and Wilson Thinks Sen ior Senator. New York, Sept. 11. For more than two hours yesterday afternoon Wil liam J. Gaynor, mayor of New York, sat in a witness chair at the city hatl and evaded with picturesque retort the attempts of counsel for an aldermanic committee to learn his views on the police situation brought to a head by the murder of the gambler, Herman Rosenthal. Three times he threatened to leave the stand because he considered the questions irrevalantj twice he denounc ed the hearing as a Bcandal-mongering excursion and often throughout his testimony he repeated that attempt? to "scandalize" him would be in Vain, for he said he had lived in the city too long and had begun his efforts to purify government long before Emery R. Buckner, counsel for the committee was born. At no time during his examination would he admit that the police de partment was inefficient. He expressed renewed confidence in Rhlnelander Waldo commissioner of police and de clared that, If the social evil flourished It was at least on the decrease and was lesser evil than police blackmail, which he had tried to eradicate. By way of a counter investigation of the committee whose chairman, Al derman William H. Curran he de nounced the previous day, the mayor before taking the stand, set on foot an Investigation of reports that the com mittee had a high instead of low bid for its stenographic work. Nine out of every, ten questions ask ed by Mr. Buckner remained unan swered. The mayor had formed no opinions, he said, and had not come to tell his opinions anyway, if he were asked about facts or about any instances wherein the police depart ment had violated $he law he said he was ready to anew..- -- , Four things, he said, he had brought about In the' department: First, he had done away with police "violence and clubbing;" second, he had forbidden the practice of police men degrading themselvea to get evt dence against disorderly houses by consorting with immoral women; third he had insisted on the Integrity of the civil service so that "Murphy or any body else can't influence appoint ment;" fourth, he had done away with graft in connection with enforcement of liquor laws. This graft, he sam had amounted to J3,000,000 annually. Though the mayor lost his temper time and again and protested to Mr, Buckner that he was asking foolish questions the young lawyer kept at I Is task patiently, unruffled by the rebuffs. The crowd, which Jammed the aider manic chamber until standing room only remained, frequently broke Into applause at the mayor a retorts. "I hoDe sou do not think I am trying to badger you. Mr. Mayor," re marked Mr. Buckner. . "Oh, I have to make allowances for your seal and everything," replied the mayor laconically. "I was young once Gazette-News Bureau, Dally News Building, Washington, Sept. 11. Senator Simmons spent the day in Washington on his return trip from New York, where he went to confer with Josephua Daniels and Vice Chair man McAdoo, Ir. Simmons left Washington last night for Charlotte where Thursday he will open his campaign for renomlnatlon to the United States senate. The senior senator expressed him- elf as greatly pleased with the situa tion in North Carolina both as to his own nomination and the national ticket "I could not wish for better news than I am getting from all parts of the state," said Mr. Simmons, "my friends are standing by me In a most loyal manner." Senator Simmons does not regard the vote In Maine as signifying that the republicans have gotten together in the state. He said the issues there were purely local and that the Taft and Roosevelt people will be as badly spilt In Maine at the November elec tion as they are in other states. He believes Woodrow Wilson will ride into the White House with one of the larg est majorities ever given a presidential candidate. Mr. Simmons said he be llnun. n.n .t.U .U .1 1 I D - i ib wwi uiC I conditions ; graphically represented eaaers in iNew iorK, mai me ngm Thr.ro will h nhm.ni,. i n, from now on is going to be between exhibit of the watershed orf Mount loseveit ana wnson. xau. ne says.

Ga., Sept. 11. Mob spirit which has been at fever-heat here since threatened race irouuie Saturday, boiled over yesterday when several hundred white men stormed the local Jail and riddled Ed. Col lins, a negro, with bullets. The body of the negro was mutilated with a crowbar and then draggged to the Dubllc square. In the presence of s crowd of over two thousand cltiiens. tho dead negro was strung up to a tel ephone pole; Collins was arrested aiong wnn three other negroes In connection with the assault on a young white girl here Sunday. It is alleged that he assisted Ernest Cox, alias Daniels, the negro who confessed to the crime, In hiding the body.' Cox was taken to Atlanta for safe keeping. Sheriff Reld had difficulty In get ting the prisoners into the local Jail on account of the mob which as- semqled when the arrests were made- public. Shortly after the negroes were Incarcerated the mob attacked - the jail with crowbars and effected an entrance. None of the othor prisoners wm molested. While no further trouble Is antici pated here threats of violence are be ing made on all sides In the event that Cox, or the five negroes spirited to Marietta are brought back hore for trial. , After the heads of all 17 Inspec tion districts of the Greater New York police zone had been called as concluding witnesses the department al trial of Captain Cornelius G. Hayes ended late yesterday. Decision of the issue, which is mainly one of verac ity between Hayes and Police Com misstoner Waldo concerning the pol Icy of the police department toward disorderly houses, rests with Deputy Police Commissioner Douglas -1. Ma Kay, who has been sitting as judge. He reserved decision. Hayes, recently demoted as head of an inspection district because he of. ticlally stated that Commissioner Waldo had ordered him not to enter disorderly houses so long as there was outward show of decency, has sworn on the stand to having recelv ed such orders which the commission. er has flatly denied under oath Hayes's 17 associate inspectors were called to the stand one after anoth er. Their brief testimony was uni formly favorable to the commissioner In that they all declared that they had never received the "no raid" or der which Hayes described. On the other hand a number of the Inspec. tors testified that the commissioner had repeatedly admonished them un der penalty of demotion to keep their districts clean. Hayes' counsel had no further evidence to present, resting on the previous presentation of his side. Summing up wss dispensed with Tsft Going I Sets "Aunt DWIa." Beverly, Sept 11. Preside!
