Orozco’s Forces In Mexico Split
and Many Flock Across Bor
der to El Paso, Texas.
EL PASO. TEXAS, Sept. 10.—Con
tnderable relief wa» felt along the Mex.
F»n bonder today when It became
known that a mutiny had broken out
tn the army 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
les to assist.

Mother Claims Baby Stranger Gave to Police
SHE SOLVES MYSTERY
“I love my’ baby—love it as 1 do my.
own life. It was force of circumstances
i that led me to give it away—not lack
of affection.”
Seated today in the office of Police
Chief Beavers. Mrs. Daisy Robertson,
formerly of Locust Grove, but now of
Atlanta, a pleasant-faced little woman,
thus explained away the mystery of the
pretty, two-weeks-old baby girl said to
have been left with Mrs. Cora Fleming,
of Canton. Ga., in the main waiting
room of the Union station, a few days
ago.
Mrs. Robertson voluntarily called at
the police station and informed Chief
Beavers tha.t she is the mother of the
babe, unfolded a story of pathos, and
asked that the tot be returned to her.
After hearing Mrs. Robertson's story,
the chief dispatched a detective with
her to the Home of the Friendless,
where the babe was turned over to her.
Didn't Desert Babe.
Weeping and showering kisses on the
little head and face, the mother mur
mured :
"My little darling will never be sep
arated from me again.”
With the babe in her arms, Mrs. Rob
ertson then returned to the home of a
friend in Whitehall terrace, where she
is stopping until she obtains a house
here.
Mrs. Robertson told Chief Reavers

I decided to let her have it.
“She promised me. however, she
would let me have the baby back any

TYPIST SUICIDE I
BURIED BI 1
Motive for Girl Killing Herself
at the Terminal Station Is
Still Unknown. .
The funeral of Miss Claire Cameron,
the young Birmingham typist, who kill
ed herself by swallowing carbolic acid
in the crowded rotunda of the Ter
minal station Sunday night, was con
ducted from the Affleck hotel, in Co
lumbus, Ga., her former home, today.
She was buried in Riverdale cemetery.
Following the inquest held in At
lanta. Roy Whitehead, of Birmingham,
held by the local police in connection
with the suicide, was released. White
head proved that Miss Cameron had
worked for him in the capacity of ste
nographer.
John and Earl H. Cameron, brothers
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 Columbus Transportation Company.
Recently he has been connected with
the Birmingham Railway Company.
The motive for the suicide still is ar
mystery. Whitehead, who consistently
denied acquaintanceship with the git!
until cross-examined at the inquest,
said that he formerly had employed
her, but discharged her for irregular
hours.
Whilehead had a telegram in his
pocket signed “V.," which read: "Will
you meet me in Atlanta?" He told
the coroner's jury that he did not know
who sent it. Miss Cameron's initials
are "C. C.,” but Whitehead admitted
having known her under various names.
The girl’s father said he could not
account for the suicide, unless ill health
were the motive. Her brothel's also
were at loss to explain the reason for
the act.

j Reformer Who Spent Day in Chaingang Is 111
■SACRIFICES HIS HEALTH
It may be that Philip Welther, 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.
Weltnpr'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.
