REBELSOLDIEK
NOW IN MUTINY
-
Orozco’s Forces In Mexico Split
and Many Flock Across Bor
der to El Paso, Texas.
EL PASO. TEXAS, Sept. 10.—Con
triderable relief was felt along the Mex.
loan border today when It became
known that a mutiny, had broken out
tn the afmy of General Orozco, the
rebel leader. Hundreds have deserted
and during the past 24 hours a large
number have flocked Into El Paso.
Indications are that If the desertions
continue Orozco will be without an
army and ■will have to surrender or
flee. Such an outcome would help the
Federal government immensely and
probably avert the danger of United
States intervention, as President Ma
dero would be able to divide the army
pursuing Orozco and send smaller de
tachments after the isolated bands
menacing Americans.
The desertions from Orozco, are not
confined to privates, but include some
of his trusted lieutenants. • Among
these are Santiago Mestas. former
mayor, and Alvino Tejo. former chief
of police of Juarez under the rebel
government.
The investigation of Senator Wil
liam Alden Smith of the border condi
tions continues. Senator A. B. Fall will
return here tomorrow from Los Ange
le® to assist.

Mother Claims Baby Stranger Gave to Police
SHE SOLVES MYSTERY
“I love my baby—love it as I do my
' own life. It was force of circumstances
1 that led me to give it away—not lack

room of the UnbAt station, a few days

the police station and informed Chief
Beavers that she is the mother of the
babe, unfolded a story of pathos, and
asked that the tot he returned to her.
After hearing Mrs. Row rtson’s story,
the chief dispatched a detective with
her to the Home of the Friendless,
where the babe was turned over to her.

Still Unknown.
The funeral of Miss Claire Cameron,-
the young Birmingham typist, who kill
| cd herself by swallowing carbolic acid

of the dead girl, took charge of the
body and accompanied it to Columbus.
Miss Cameron was the daughter of
John A. Cameron, former employee of

The girl’s father said h<- could not
account for the suicide, unless ill h'-alth
were tlie motive. Hoi brothers also
were at loss to explain the reason for
the act.

Reformer Who Spent Day in Chaingang Is 111
SACRIFICES HIS HEALTH
It may be that Philip Weltner, sec
retary of the Prison Reform associa
tion, the Atlanta lawyer who spent 24
hours in the Campbell county chain
gang as “John Marvel,” forger, learned
many things from his "Day as a Con
vict,” but in the opinion of his friends
the visible result of his penitentiary
adventure is shattered health.
Weltner is now in New York recu
perating from a month's Illness which
confined him to St. Josephs infirmary,
and for a time threatened to prove
typhoid fever. When the slender sec
retary of the prison association left
Atlanta three weeks ago he was twenty
pounds lighter than he was on April
13. the day he became a member of
the Campbell county gang to see how
the Georgia convict actually lived.
Weltner's friends declare that his ill
ness dates from the day he voluntarily
donned stripes, lived on prison fare
and swung a pick side by side with
yeggmen and slayers.
After his experience as a convict,
Weltner went to south Georgia in tlie

Witile the bill failed at passage in the
legislature. Weltner spent a month in
terviewing assemblymen in its behalf.
On his return to Atlanta his friends
immediately noted tile change in his
physical condition and ascribed It to
his 24 hours in tile chaingang. Welt

MILEAGE TRUCE
Official of Drummers Associa

sion to Let 'Matters Rest.’
Chairman Murphey Candler today
received a letter from W. M. Joyner,
national chairman of the railroad com
mittee of the Southeastern passenger
division of the Travelers Protective
Association of America, upholding Gov
ernor Brown’s veto of the mileage
“pulling" bill, and asking the commis
sion. on behalf of the traveling men
coming South, to let the mileage mat
ter rest where it is, for fear of some
tiling worse to follow the reversal of
the governor.
His letter is as follows:
"Let Well Enough Alone."
Suffolk, Va., Sept. 7,191 J.
State Railroad Commission, At
lanta, Ga.:
Gentlemen— l see you have not
rendered any decision in regard to
pulling mileage on the train. lam
in Baltimore for a few days and
the traveling men who go South
here again have asked me to write
you and say we think 1t would be
much better to let the mileage mat
ter rest just where it is. lam quite
sure Georgia otherwise would be in
the same fix as South Carolina, and
the traveling men would rather let
well enough alone. I am sure we
can not compel the roads to sell In
tereliangeable mileage unless they
wish to do -o.
Thanking you gentlemen in ad
vance for doing that which win
benefit the greatest number, by
letting the traveling men get the
exchange ticket for mileage, Yours
truly,
