(P.y Leased Wire to The Times)
Rock Springs, Texas, Nov. 16 Al
though the invading army of 300
Mexicans, reported to he on the way
here to avenge the burning of An
tonio Rodriguez could not be located
by rangers early today, this county
is an armed camp with 2,000 men
armed and on the alert. The sale of
drink has been stopped and no fire
arms were sold to Mexicans.
Rangers arrived today despite the
protests made to Governor Campbell
that the national guardsmen and the
rangers would ','only be in the way.
'The Texan army here is armed to Lie
teeth and each mnii knows how to
handle his weapon
Ranch hands who were sent to
wards Valverde county, 100 miles
sway, to get some trace of the sup
posed approaching army of Mexicans
returned today declaring that the
Mexicans hnd either never crossed
the Rio Grande or had become alarm
ed and turned back
The Mexican motuvas made up of
Vaqueros and borderland adventur
ers picked up, around Las Veras, Cul
dad and other Mexican points. This
report came from Del Rio, where
Americans saw a- body of Mexicans.
It -Is believed now that the report!
was grossly exaggerated.:
All of the romantic setting of a
frontier tale of adventure was to be
found in Edwards county today.
Ranchers gave their men a holiday
and the cowboys rode Into town all
ostentatiously displaying their guns
of the caliber of small cannon. The
arrival of the Rangers added further
to the picturesque setting.
The Rangers were inclined to be
skeptical and criticized Governor
Campbell for sending them upon
what they termed a wild goose
chase."
Captain' John H. Hughes, com
mantling the Rangers, Is an old In
dian fighter and well known to the
lawless element all along the Rio
Grande. He is a veteran gun tighter
and a fomons marksman. He discuss-
ed the situation with Sheriff Pope,
and both agreed that a Mexican army-
would never reach Edwards county
alive although they feared that the
tensity of the situation existing here
might cive way to violence. All
Mexicans in this town were ordered
to remain Indoors or take the conse
quences.
Over the long distance telephone
tmt.iv Sheriff John S. Robinson, of
Valverde county, where the Mexican
army was supposed to have crossed
tlie border, said he could find no
trace of the supposed invaders.
"Everything is auiet here,'' said
Robinson, "and there are no signs of
any Mexicans."
This town was, picketed all night
not only to give warning of ap
proaching Mexicans, but to prevent
hilarious ranch hands from carrying
out. the old time western Joke of
"shooting it up."
Scores of Arrests Made. ' ,
Mexico City. Nov. 16 Scores of
arrests are being made along the Rio
Grande by the Mexican authorities,
which are serving the double purpose
of quelling the threatened political I
revolt against President Diaz and of
checking the anti-American feeling

: St.' Louis, Nov. IB Cattetises are
being held secretly by : the socialist,
leaders attending the American Fed
eration of Labor with the two-fold
object of getting control of the Fed
eration and of defeating Samuel
ttompers for re-election as president.
The first caucus was held Monday
night ut the American hotel and was
continued dally.
The split has become so pro
nounced that separate -quarters ari
now maintained by the socialists..
Before the convention opened head
quarters for the Federation was es
tablished at the Planters Hotel and
that is where Gompers and the other
officers are staying. .
When Victor L. Berger, socialist
leader who has just been electee) to
congress from Milwaukee, regarded
as the strongest- leader among the
socialists, arrived, he went to th
American Hotel. Max Hayes, of
Cleveland, looked upon as the organ
izer of the socialists and who prob
ably will make the race for presi
dent against Gompers, left, the Plant
ers yesterday and has taken quart
ers at the American with Bercer.
Hayes says he can see the ultimata
domination of socialism in the labor
union ranks, controlling every vote
and in a position to dictate to its
officers. ...
' You can see its upward trend
here," said the socialist leader. "A
few years ago we had but few mem
bers with the workers. In 1900 there
was but one, possibly two, that dared
voice their conviction. Look at us
today. We are represented here by
S5 men. renresentine a bis- vole."
Hayes would not speak as to the
manner in which the men would cast :
their vote when it came to the nam
ing of a new president. 1

continued . Mr. Hayes. "I would
rather hot say anything about Mr.

justice, according to the present pro
gram of Attorney-general Wicker
sham, who heard today that convict-
d company had reduced the wages
of Its 'employes hi order to regain the
amount ..hf fine assessed by a federal

The attorney-general was in an in

learned of a report that the Imperial

burg, whose officers were recently
fined $l0,0o(l because of an alleged
violation of the anti-trust law. In
tend to reduce the wages of about
700 employes. This sort of retalia
tion does not appeal to the attorney-general,
and the attitude of the
Pittsburg ..concern may result in the
future insistence upon the part of the
attorneys of the department that
federal courts shall impose prison
sentences.
It is understood. that the attorney
general has some facts In his posses
