The Ambassador Is exceedingly wroth over the fact that non-official represen tatives of the State Department have I been reporting to Washington upon affairs in Mexico.

President Wilson some time ago received certain information from Hale, now traveling in Mexico.

It is claimed that there ore only oae-fourth as many policemen at tached to the precinct as there ought to be, and that there are less men than thero were ten years ago. Some men have posts of twenty square blocks to cover, and when a man is absent, sometimes there is doubling up, when a man has forty blocks to cover.

While seated at the door of her home, 949 Van Alst avenue, Long Island City, last night, with her 2-year-old daughter in her arms, Mrs.

was arrested and locked up over night iv the Astoria police station on a charge of homicide. Broschinski made a written confession to Detective Thomas Teeven, in which he asserted that the shooting had been done in a moment of anger when the woman tnunted him by bringing up an old family scandal, and telling him that ho ought to be iu Sing Sing. The taunt was an old one, and had frequently led to trouble between the two. Blind with rage, Ero-schinskl whipped the revolver from his pocket and fired at the woman. He did not know how many shots were discharged, he told the police, nor did ho have any coherent recollection of what followed.

Three Shots Lodged In Woman. Child's Arm Broken. One of the bullets struck the woman In the right arm, shattering her wrist; another took effect In her right breast, penetrating the lung and the third stuck her in the left side and passed Into the intestines.

Patrolman Peake of the Astoria station. ho was attracted by the sound of the four shots and the cries of neighbors who rushed after the man, followed him and placed him under arrest on Broadway. At the station house Broschinski made a clean breast of the affair, and told the police that the trouble started last February, when Leroy McLean, 29 years old, of 23 Ridge street, Astoria, was sentenced to from eight to fifteen years iu Sing Sing by County Judge Humphrey for an attack made on his 7-year-old sister-in-law, who was Broschinski's daughter.

Volunteers, American and British Citizens, Guard the Women and Children Massed in Ku-ling. HELENA LIES OFF KM KIANG, And Bluejackets on the Heights Keep Up Communication With American Warship by Means of Signals. Peking, July 26 Volunteer American, British and other citizens are tonight guarding the approaches to the mountain town of Ku-ling, where thousands of foreigners, mostly American and British women and children, have taken refuge from the heat of the Chinese summer months. The few American bluejackets on the heights are maintaining communi cation with the United States gunboat Helena, which is lying off the river port of Kiu-Kiang. Foreigners have been able to see some fighting between the government fores and the rebels from their position on the mountain top.

They advise other foreigners to remain away from Ku-Iung, owing to the difficulties of communica tion and the shortage of provisions. The Right. Rev. Logan H. Roots.

Bishop of Hankow, advocates the safeguarding of Ku-ling as a place of refuge for for-eigntrs. Civilians believe, despite the proximity of the fighting, that Ku-ling is a sate place. Only one ease of interference with foreigners has been reported. After a fortnight of rebellion the Northern or government forces have had the 'better of the fighting at the three main points of contact, namely, Shanghai, Kiu-kiang and along the Tien-tsln-Pukow Rnllway. While much ammunition has been expended by gun Hiring lasting whole days, there has been no decisive battle which foreigners believe is es-sntial to Provisional President Yuan Shi Kai's ultimate success.

Sizes of Armies Small as Compared With Those in Balkans. The sizes of the armies engaged are small compared with those fighting in the Balkan war. At Shanghai the northern troops on shore number while pitted against them are 4,000 southerners. The army of General Chang Hsun, which re pulsed the rebels above Su-chow-fu. numbers less than 5,000 afficers and men.

The largest northern army consists of probably 15,000 to 20,000 men and is now in the province of Kiang-si. European and Amaricau sympathy In the Yang-tse Klang ports us well as at Peking Is overwhelmingly in favor of President Yuan Shi Kal, while tho Japanese and Russians favor the southerners. The opinion prevails among Europeans In tho capital that Yuan Shi Kai soon will be victorious. It Is pointed out in some quarters, however, that the ability of Dr. Sun Yat Sen, the first provisional president of the republic, and his party to create a rebellion and to spread disaffection among the troops In the principal cities along the lower Yang-tse River wai not suspected three months ago.

Covernment officials are Indignant be cause the foreign consuls at Shanghai and at Hankow did not expel the rebel plotters from their concessions. Many foreigners and even members of the Legations here likewise consider the In activity of the consular bodies In the south unjustifiable. Vice President LI Yuen Heng declared In an interview today that Japanese were aiding the rebels. The refusal of Rear Admiral Reginald F. Nicholson, commander-in-chief of the American Asiatic fleet, to send American marines to Ku-ling is generally criticised In non-military circles here, although the German and British admirals are report' ed to agree with Admiral Nicholson.

An American guard was at first agreed upon by the British, German and Ameri can Legations owing to Chinese susceptl bllities. iiie "my uanger ai KU-lIng arises seemingly from outlaws and dispersed soldiers attempting to loot, and the American admiral has offered to escort the foreigners to the river, but refuses to detach a small guard.

Cahili of the Atlantic avenue station, whoso body was found outside St. Matthew's Church, at Utlca avenue and Lincoln place, on Monday morning, and who was at first reported to have been murdered by thieves, refuse absolutely to accept the nsw police theory that Caliill committed suicide. They will ask District Attorney Cropsey to make a full inquiry into all the facts. William J.

Cabill, a grocer of 631 Carlton avenue, and Philip Cahill, an ordnance serseant of the United States Army, sta tioned at Governor's Island, brothers of the deau man, will visit Mr. Cropsey tomorrow and have a talk with him. They bolh declare that it was impossible for John Cahill to have killed himself. William Cahill, by nature a quiet man with an equable temper, grew vehement last night in refuting tho suicide theory. Pounding the counter in his grocery store with clenched fist, he cried: "Brother No Suicide," Declares William Cahill.

"My brother did not kill himself. He was a normal, sane, healthy man. The attitude the police have taken has astounded me. Why, John had everything to live for.

Sergeant rhlllp Cahilll. the other brother, who is taking personal charge the investigation for the family, has addressed an open letter to the Police Department, which represents the views the dead man's blood rclativese.

The letter is as follows: "On Wednesday. July 23, 1913. a.m., went to look at the place where my brother was found dead. The church sexton came and showed me around and said: 'I think this case was only a frame-UD to kill Cahill. and they laid him out to show they had done a good I asked him how they laid the body out.

Ho stood in a position with legs crossed at the ankles and arms stretched, crossing them at the wrists, saying the body lay in this position. Then he marked the outline on ground where the body lay as found. described it as a possibility that after was struck he backed off the flagstones (about two or three IncheB high), being dark, and possibly was then shot or maybe shot before he fell.

Davidson, REV.C.S, DAVIDSON REPUDIATES CHURCH Former Brooklyn Rector Publicly Burns His Vestments at Charlottesville, Va. SCORES EPISCOPALIANS Says: Here I Burn Vestments of an Important Priesthood, Empty Emblems of (Special to The Eagle.) Charlottesville, July 26 At the gates ol historic Mouticello last evening, the Rev. Charles Steele Davidson, former rector of St. Mark's, Cleveland, Ohio; Holy Apostles and Epiphany, Atlanta, and assistant rector of Christ Church, this city, severed his connection with the Episcopal Churca by burning his vest- munts and prayer book. Later in a writ- ten statement he caustically criticised the workings of tho church which he has served for mauy years.

The statement reads "I charge that the Episcopal Church is i gentleman's church in general aud in Virginia In particular. It is uowerful financially and socially, stupid intcilcc-, tually, and spiritually dead; that is needs a Changs of heart; repentance or utter obliteration. She either segregates tho poor in missions on the back streets or relegates them, in churches, to the back pews. "In Virginia the Episcopal Church is a meie relic of social feudalism and stands for a dry-rotted conservatism that bars the jirogress of the Kingdom. It is wasting time on eugenices and putting no time on eupsycliics.

It Is contending with tho ritualistists about purity of worship when It has lost the spirit of worship. Says Episcopal Church Everywhere is "Shot Through With Materialism." "The Episcopai Church everywhere Is I shot through wita materialism. Its over- tures in the matter of unity are insidious and hypocritical. "Here, at the gate of Monticello, at the home of the apostle of the people's po- licital freedom, I burn the vestments of nn important priesthood the empty em- blems of ecclcsinsticism the mockeries of i a royal priesthood. "Hero I bury the prayer book the fetish of a false worship the idol of the diluted Word of God.

"Here I renounce and repudiate the ministry of the Upiscopnl Church, but 1 retain the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, and which the church nc''er gave and cannot take away. "Here, toe, I proclaim tne Bible as th? sufficient rule of faith and orderas tho sufficient guide Icok and prayer book for everyone that is born of tho Spirit." The Rev.

i The Rev Mr. Davidson's Career In the Episcopate a Stormy One. Rector Davidson's career iu the Episcopal ministry has been a Ftormy one. His first troubles came as early as 1900, when he was in this borough, act- i ing as the rector of the Church of the Holy Apostles, in Windsor Terrace. On June 6 of that year quite a sensation was created in church circles bore when i the vestry of his church brought serious charges against him, attacking his rec- ord.

Among other things. It was claimed i that he neglectod his duties, attacked various members of his flock, and even threatened to excommunicate those who opposed him. The charges were brought before Bishop Littleiohn. Finally, through the influence of his friends in his congrega- tion, the trial was discontinued and the charges entirely dropped. Then there was a love feast, and it was thought halt the matter was settled.

But, in 1903, there was even worse trouble i brewing in his church. The finances were in a bad way. and it was asserted I openly that the condition of affairs was due to his bad management. It Is understood that his resignation i was later asked for, but he declined to give it until, as be said, he had himself right in the diocese. 1 no matter was filially adjusted and Mr.

Davidson accepted a call to another city. In Cleveland, he was reprimanded by Bishop Leonard of Ohio for allowing the pastor of another denomination to preach from his pulpit when the bishop had forbidden it. Ho then resigned and went to Fincastle, Va. WHIRLED AROUND SHAFT. Clothing Catches in Wheel; Man Is Seriously Injured.
