New York,June 25. Two youthful
fishermen were seated on the wall
about a factory inclosur; in Williams
burg when their patient manipulation
of fishing tackle attracted the atten
tion of Patrollman Meyers. The police

fishing in the factory yard, in which
several inches of dust proved the ut

"Look! Ain't this a whopper?" he
heard one of the two men say.

the reply.

and found, he says, that the fisher
men were using poles baited with min

which had been stolen from the in-
closure, owned by the Franklin H.

Around whose sill the millions wait,

The forum of a stronger sttate.
Make broad the bar, and big appear
The questions clamorous tobe tried,
And let the final judges hear,
Themselves, the causes they decide.
Write bold the text for age to read
The lesson not discerned by youth;
Aand raise the altar of a creed
Whose only article is Truth.
Though fair and dear the ancient mold
Wlberein the burning thought was

Into the patterns of the pudt.
Whatever channels lead apart
The currents of the lives of men.

Shull leap with common pulse again.

VILLA ALIVE, SCOUT SAYS.
Bandit leader Said To Be at Head of
1200 Men in Rurango.
FA Paso, Tex., July 5. Francisco
Villa with 1200 followers is in the
state of Durango near the Zacatecas
border, according to a report made to
General Bell by a scout who reached
the border today after a month's in
dividual pursuit of the bandit chief
tain. The scout, who formerly was
one of Villa a officers, undertook the
quest in the hope of obtaining the re
wards offered for Villa's capture. His
report, however, conflicted with pre
vious reports that Villa is at Boquil
las, 70 miles west of Chihuahua City.
The scout said he once was within
20 miles of tho outlaw's camp. " When
he reached there he was suffering
from wounds inflicted in the city of
Zacatecas by Mexicans he recognized
as having formerly been in Villa's
army. He escaped then, he said,
through the aid of friendly natives.
The scout's report supported
rumors current here that Villa was in
Jaurez a week ago yesterday. He
said that Mexicans in Chihuahua City
told them that this was true. The
scout added that he had discovered
numerous evidence that the break be
tween the Villastas and the Carranz
istas is rapidly being healed.
Wolgast Fouls Freddie Welsh
Denver, July ' 4. Freddie Welsh,
the lightweight champion, was fouled
by Ad Wolgast in the 11th round of
a scheduled 15-round, no decision bout
tonight. A low right ended the fight.
Welsh claimed a foul in the third
round, when he went to the ropes ap
parently in great agony. The physi
cian who was summoned announced
it was impossible to determine wheth
er Wielsh had been struck low. After
20 minutes' delay the fight was re
sumed. Hard infighting marked the
entire contest.
Wrestled Five Hours. No Fall.
Omaha, July 4. After five hours
of wrestling without n. fall, the Joe
Stecher and Ed (Sirangler Lewis
wrestling match was called a draw
tonight. Lewi3 was on the offensive
throughout.
At Evansvillo a year ago Stecher
und Lewis wrestled two hours and 10
minutes to a draw. Today Lewis set
systematically to elude Stecher. The
few times when they came to grips,
Lewis easily broke away. Once Stech
er laid down on the mat, offering
Lewis any hold he desired. Lewis
turned his back, ignoring the invitation.
