CITIZENS PROTECT FUNDS lighting- Reported at Cuiclad Por firio Diaz, Where Revolutionary "''Leaders Flee Anti-American Feeling Is Not Marked. EL, PASO, Tex.. Juna 22. Although the expected attack on the Mexican custom house at Naco, Sonora, has been frustrated "by the arrival of soldiers from Cananea, the entire Mexican bor der, from Cananea to Cludad Porfirio Diaz, opposite Laredo, Tex., is in a state of revolutionary ferment and out breaks are feared at a dozen places. All available troops have been de tailed along the borders, with orders to suppress all disturbances' with an Iron hand. Principal reliance is being placed on the rurales, organized by President Diaz himself, and recognized as his ardent supporters and the most . efficient troops in the Mexican army. Citizens Pressed Into Service. Many citizens have been pressed Into service and armed to protect govern ment funds at the custom houses along the border. At Naeo, Sonora. the government funds removed to United States terri tory Monday night for protection, have been taken back to Mexico and the Mexican officials and women and chil dren who fled to Arizona soil have re turned to their homes'. The troops sent from Cananea are quartered In the warehouse of the Cananea Copper Com pany, and are making preparations for B.n extended stay. Two hundred addi tional troops are held in readiness at Cananea to march to Naco at a mo ment's notice. Citizens Protect Town. Commissarlo Cublllas has purchased B.11 available arms at Naco, Arizona, and has armed a body of citizens to protect the town. Reinforcements have been received by Colonel Kosterlltzsky, in command at Cananea. This has enabled him to spread details of troops along the bor der to Intercept smuggled arms. He has ordered the house-to-house search Tor arms continued in all the Northern Sonora villages. Three burros were seized by masked men on the United States side of the border Sunday night and loaded with ammunition, which was carried across Into the San Jose Mountains. A squad of rurales is In pursuit of the party. Serious Disturbances Occur. Serious disturbances are reported to have taken place at Cludard Porfirio Diaz, Coahulla, where the revolutionary leaders have fled to Eagle Pass to es fcape arrest. It is reported by Mexican officials that newspapers printed in Spanish on the American side of the border have been a large factor in stirring up the discontent now finding expression. The movement has been singularly free from expressions of animosity to Americans, in marked contrast to the election riots' of four years ago, where an anti-American feeling was strong. most conservative concerns in New York, has been absorbed by the Cry goods trust. The United Dry Goods Companies, a syndicate with a capital stock of $51,000,000. backed by J. Pier pont Morgan, has acquired the controll ing Interest In the long-established nrm and an important step in carrying out of a scheme to dominate the entire dry goods business of the country has been taken. The price paid for the interest has not been made pujilic, but it is under stood to be one of the largest ever paid for a business of this description in New York. Ever since the death of Edward P. Hatch, president of Lord & Taylor, in Burlington, "Vt., last September, the trust has been trying to buy out the old firm, but until recently the amountJ offered was not large enough, irately there has been so marked an improve ment in business that men backing the United Dry Goods Companies have con cluded that they could afford to pay the figure asked by the Lord & Taylor directors. Edward P. Hatch, Jr., son of the late president of the company and himself a director, would not give the details of the sale today and said he could not make an announcement now.

K.ersh is an intimate friend to whom she had ren dered every assistance at the time of her separation from her husband, was admitted by Mrs. Jesse P. Webb, wife of the man who is accused of the mur der of W. A. Johnson, In Portland, when seen at her home, 212 Eleventh avenue, this evening. . "Mrs. Kersh was very intimate both with myself and my girls," said Mrs. Webb. "We were neighbors in Ballard and when the trouble came up between Mrs. Kersh and her husband we helped her out all we could. I do not want to talk about the trouble between Mr. and Mrs. Kersh, because it is none of my affair, but I will say Mrs. Kersh was not to blame. The statement that Mrs. Kersh and Webb eloped is ridic ulous. Mrs. Kersh went to San Fran cisco immediately after leaving her husband, while Webb and a? linotype operator named Frank Bell went to Vancouver, B. C. Mrs. Kersh is a fine little woman and I do not beleve that she and Mr. Webb have ever been other than friends. When Mrs. Kersh was ill in the Seattle General Hospital I would send Webb up to her with delicacies when I could not go myself. Mrs. Kersh is a nurse and, after she left Kersh she supported herself and her little boy by nursing. T do not understand how Webb came to be In Portland. I received a letter from him the other day postmarked Spokane, and he did not Bay anything about going to Portland. He had been working in Spokane but not steadily. He seemed rather discouraged and spoke of returning to" Seattle." Webb has two daughters, one 18, the other 16. Both are vehement In defense of their father. Bert W. Kersh, former husband of Mrs. B. W. Kersh, left tonight for Portland, where he expects to ob tain possession of his little 7-year-old son who Is now in custody of the Port land police. . To his fellow workers In the line crew who were working with him near Forty fifth street and Wallingford avenue to day, B. W. Kersh said he had had no knowledge of his wife's whereabouts for some 'time. In regard to Jesse P. Webb Kersh said that he had known Webb for a long time and that two years ago he had furnished him with money to go to Alaska. A year ago Webb returned end was laid up witn a Droiten leg. At mat time, said Kersh, Mrs. Kersh took care of Webb and it was then that the two formed an attachment which ended in the Kersh separation. Kersh said that he and his wife be came acquainted with Webb soon after they came to Seattle from Vancouver, B. C, in the Summer of 1903. Last August Kersh and his wife separated. Kersh keeping the boy until Novem ber 16, when Mrs. Kersh left Seattle. taking the child wth her. Webb left at the same time.

Mr. and Mrs. Flannigan are at the Oregon Hotel. They were married here last night, after a rather exciting trip by automobile from Seattle. They came to Portland to .e married to escape a reception to be arbitrarily tendered them by their friends.

"The roads were fierce," he said "We left Seattle at 11 o'clock Sunday morning and arrived here this after noon at J. o'clock." Mrs. Flannigan was Miss Marion F. Orr, daughter of C. H.

This is the gist of an an nouncement made last night by Calvin Helllg,. who, with John Cort and others, recently organized the Theatrical ' Man agers' Association and will hereafter book independently star " attractions all over the country. A telegram was received from Mr. Cort last night, to the effect that the new theater, In -"addition to the new Heilig and the new Baker, Is impera tive in Portland by April, 1911. He said he had secured more shows than can be taken care of here, and for that reason work, looking toward the con struction of another theater In Port land, must be begun at once.

When Colonel Hofer made his closing re mark a man in the audience Insisted on taking Dr. Wilson's side of the argu ment. "I came here to debate this question with Dr. Wilson and not with the entire Methodist conference," said the colonel, and at this Juncture Dr. Wilson arose and stated to the crowd that Colonel Hofer is a personal friend of his and requested that the interruptions cease. After this there we.re no further interruptions. After the debate a resolution was unanimously passed asking Dr. Wilson and Colonel. Hofer to hold a series of de bates in the future under the direction of tlje Civic Federation. Both the Colonel and Dr. Wilson agreed to debate the same question again in Portland and also to hold a number of public discussions of the liquor question at different towns in the state.
