' 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. MME. RABINOFF. YOUNG PRIMA DONNA.

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 ROSE PITINOFF ON 20-MILE SWIM THROUGH LONDON LONDON, Sept 10.—Miss Rose Pit , inoff. the young Boston swimmer, s t out this afternoon at Richmond, to L swim down the Thames through the . city of Lontlon. and thus establish a I new aquatic honor for women.
