TROOPS ON LINES OPPOSITE JUAREZ Entire Company of Infantry Patrolling the Bank Between Two Bridges. DIAZ PALACE IC News of Demonstration Against Mexican President Brought From Capital by American Official. El Paso, March 18-All approaches to the bridges leading from the American side to Mexico, were suarded, to-day United by States three troops. times the Hereto- usual fore only a small detail has been assigned to this duty, but at daybreak today tents had been set up along the de edge of the river and an entire company of infantry was sent to patrol the bank between the two bridges which form the main arteries of traffic to Juarez. Scores of Mexican.

soldiers came to the opposite river bank to look acress at the United States troops. It was a typical frontier scene, where the army of one nation might exchange salutes with that of another, while each remained on its own soil. An American who returned from the in surrecto territory to-day said that Captain Oscar G. Creighton, the American insurrecto leader who, with a small force. has been destroying bridges along the Mexican National Railroad, is still encamped in the hills a few miles south of Juarez.

Creighton's band, which is composed in large part of Americans, is suffering severe hardships according to this man. The men, he declared, have often gone several days without food, and only the chance coming up on a steer had saved them from actual starvation. Diaz Palace Stoned. San Antonio, March 18-An American returning from Mexico City yesterday brought an authentic report of a demonstration against the person of President Diaz about two weeks ago, which took the form of stoning the windows of the President's palace in the City of Mexico by a mob of insurrecto sympathizers. The statement is made by an official connected with the United States Government who witnessed the incident.

This official has broken the censorship in Mexico. which seems to have been SO rigid that the news has just crossed the border by word of mouth, though the official report may now be in the hands of the State Department in Washington. Shouting Madero," the rioters threw volleys of stones through the windows. The disturbance lasted about five minutes, said the informant. Guests of the President in the palace became frightened, but the President remained cool and sent one of his aids out to the police to inquire why they did not stop the trouble.

As far as is known here, this is the first demonstration against Diaz that has the beginning this been made in devoldistrict since TROOPS FOR HAWAII. Washington, March 18-The Second Infantry is en route to Honolulu in accordance with a general order issued by General Leonard Wood on November 16 last. The two battalions of this regiment. which are now on the way for San Francisco. will sail a few days for the Hawaiian Islands.

Two batteries of field artillery will sail for the islands on July 5. The one battalion of the Twentieth Infantry now at Honolulu will return to the United States upon the arrival of the full regiment. All this, it is pointed out at the War Department, is merely carrying out a plan worked out several months ago for increasing the inadequate garrison at olulu. WILSON EXPECTS EARLY PEACE. Mexico City, March 18-Ambassador Wilson, who returned to his Dost here yesterday from Washington, says he has nothing to add or subtract from the statement made by President Taft and Secretary of War Dickinson, which seemed to him to be sufficiently clear and concise.

IS LEGALLY DEAD.

Cousin of Ex-Senator Gilchrist Insurance 011 Life of Her Brother. To Miss Lettie Gilehrist, a first cousin of former Senator Alfred J. Gilchrist, Justice Gerard in the Supreme Court, Manhattan, awarded $2,720 insurance, with interest, to which she contended she was entitled in view of the reasonable certainty that her brother, from whom she had not heard years, had perished in a fire which destroyed the old Mission Lodging House, at 105 Bowery, in 1907. James Gilchrist, the brother of Lettie, lived with her and another sister, Lillian, until the latter got married. Then James shifted for himself.

It seems he didn't do very well. for he lived under the name of Joe Clark in the Bowery section. When the list of casualties of the mission fire was prepared by the po lice, "Joe Clark" was among the dead. Former Senator Gilchrist tried the case for his cousin, Miss Lettie Gilchrist. The insurance on the life of her brother was due from the Ancient Order of United Workmen, of which James was a member.

Club Long a Source of Worriment to Bluecoats, and Scene of Many a Raid. Some amateur Fawkes to blow up the Lion Club, with its members, early this morning by placing a bomb of some sort in the main hallway.

As far as can be. ascertained no one was but the explosion tore a hole in hurt, the flooring through which one could drop a plug hat, and sent the plaster flying in a cloud from the walls and ceilings. The police got around very soon after the thing happened, but failed to find out who the miscreant was. The people of the Lion Club are the most uncommunicative of mortals, anyway, when the police are concerned, and the simple fact that there were about forty persons in the building at the time, and that not one of them could tell the reason for the attempt to blow up the place, was all the authorities could 1 learn. Club Has Long Been a Thorn in Side of Police.

The Lion Club has been a thorn in the side of the police of the Adams street precinct for many years. It is a building in Adams street, not far from Myrtle avenue, adn is much frequented by negroes of sporty dispositions They drift around to the place at all hours of the day and night, from the saloons in the neighborhood frequented by their class, and there is a belief that gambling goes on there until the largest of the small 'hours of the morning. Over and over again the club has been raided, but Lawyer Rufus Perry manages to get persons arrested discharged on the ground that the club is regularly incorporated and that no real gambling goes on. The police have been deterred from breaking in by legal limitations and the presence of a most ferocious bulldog which is kept in the backyard. Entrances and exits alike are protected by "icebox" doors and iron-barred gates and windows.

It is known that there are warrants out for persons who were alp leged to have been conducting a crap game in the place, but on the occasion of the last raid by the police, when windows were broken open and the neighborhood turned out to witness -proceedings, not a soul was found in the building. The claim is that a very lively crap game goes on in the basement, where there is a pool table. and that many Pullman porter tips change hands on the turn of the dice. Unlucky Crap Shooter May Have Tried to Wreck Clubhouse. Just what happened to lead to the attempt to blow up the building is not known, but it is possible that some unlucky player started to put the clubhouse out of business.

The entire building is occupied by the club, and the parlor floor is fitted up with good furniture, a piano and pictures and is set apart as a loung-; ing There and were meeting several room. persons in the par- lor at 12:45 o'clock this morning. when the explosion occurred. The members report that there was no suspicious person around, but it is reasonable to supone of the persons who had the right of pose that the bomb was brought in by a entrance to the place. All who the strongly guarded portals are "members of this club." so the police supposition is that the bomb was thrown by a disgruntled member.

No one was in the hallway when the bomb disintegrated (if it was a bomb). but the explosion shook the building and ing clouds of plaster dust. There was a filled every room the he house with blindrush for the exits, but when there was no second explosion the members returned and began to look things over. Sole "Victim" of the Bomb More Frightened Than Hurt. One of those in the house, James Lewis, 25 years old, a negro, of 426 Hudson avenue, who was nearest the point of the explosion, believed that he had been injured and ran out for help.

Patrolman Strickland, of the Adams street station, who was on post in the neighborhood, mot him and took him to the station. Ambulance Surgeon Reynolds was called from the Brooklyn Hospital, but failed to find any marks of injury. Lewis was plainly more frightened than hurt. Detectives from the precinct inspected the building and saw the effects of the explosion. The floor was blackened and as has been said, a part of it was blown out.

showing that the explosive must have acted like dynamite, for the main force was downward. The building is owned by Mrs. Margaret Campbell, who lives at the Hotel St. George, and the damage to her property is estimated at $400. The police are making an effort to get a clue to the man who placed the bomb there.

WILL GO TO THE MAYOR, If Park Commissioner Kennedy Does Not Treat Them Right. At a meeting last night of the Homestead Civic Association at New Homestead Hall, in the Forest Park section of Woodhaven, Frank Klinzing, third vice president of the organization, reported concerning the preliminary work of the Forest Park Improvement Association, composed of the various civic bodies to the north and south of the park, and recently formed for the sole purpose of securing improvements for Forest Park. Mr. Klinzing said that, at a meeting held a few nights before, it had been decided to demand of Park Commissioner Kennedy many more improvements in Forest Park than had been at first contemplated. Not only will drinking water, comfort stations, music, more benches and paths be asked for, but many other things that will make of the park an ideal place for children and adults to go to all the year round.

A committee will wait upon Commissioner Kennedy, and if he does not give any satisfaction, the Forest Park Association will take the matter up with Mayor Gaynor. Mr. Klinzing said that each meeting of the Forest Park Improvement Association is to be held at a different place, and Just as soon as all the improvements desired for Forest Park have been realized, then the organization is go out of existence. W. P.

Beach told the members that next Monday night a meeting of delegates from all the civic organizations of the Fourth Ward of Queens will be held to consider the plans for improved transit facilities, as proposed by the Interborough, the Public Service Commission and the B. R. to see if the association cannot arrive at some comprehensive plan for the entire Fourth Ward. Mr. Beach said that several years ago the Allied Civics Association of the Fourth Ward laid out a scheme which ineluded the extension of the Kings County elevated line of the Lexington avenue road along Jamaica avenue to Jamaica, thus taking care of the ridge section of the Fourth Ward.

According to the present scheme of the B. R. the ridge section is left out. The former plan of the Allied Civics Association, Mr. Beach sale.

would be taken up at the meeting of next Monday night. CRAIGEN SAYS HIS BOOK COST THE CITY NOTHING His Own Time and Money Were Used in Getting Out Taxation Volume. HOW IDEA WAS SUGGESTED. Came as an Inspiration After a Lecture in Ohio -Records of Department Were of Little Use to Author. George J.

Craigen, former assistant chief deputy of the Tax Department, called at The Eagle office to-day, to give his of the controversy over the copyright of his book, entitled "Practical Methods for Appraising Lands, Buildings and Improvements." As told in yesterday's Eagle, the Tax Commissioners are trying to recover the manual, claiming that when Craigen secured the copyright he was to assign it to the City of New York. than surrender the copyright Craigen gave up his $3,500 position. This is what he had to say about the matter to-day: "The book was compiled in my own time, outside of office hours. No part of it was typewritten either by an employe of the department or anyone else. The book was prepared in my own handwriting.

paid the entire cost of printing, electrotyping and publishing this book, and it has not cost the City of New York one cent to publish it. I offered on March 8, to present the Tax Department with all the copies they needed, free of charge. I offered to resign the book to the City of Nw York, reserving the right outside the city, also without charge. Both of these proposition have been refused and demand has been made for the assignment of all right, title and interest in the book to the city, without any guarantee of repayment for the cost of printing the same, which was $800. "On September 29, 1910, Corporation Counsel Sterling in a letter advised the board to make a contract with me to acquire the copyright when it should be perfected.

This was before I had incurred any expense. This advice was ignored and no contract was ever made. January 25, 1911, a committee of three was appointed by the board to take up the matter of this publication. This committee never communicated with me in any way, and so far as is known to me, never reported. "10 the city spent $8,000 or $10.000 on this book, who got the money? The Controller could probably answer the question as to whether any bills were paid for this book.

"Three of the commissioners least were aware that book being wast copyrighted- by myself for my own benefit, with the understanding that I give the city, free of charge, what it needed for its own use." Mr. Craigen told how the book came to be prepared. December, 1909, he said, he went to Ohio to lecture, at President request, to 2,500 newly-elected assessors. After he had talked to the assessors at length, he was asked if there was any means of collecting in book form the information he had imparted. The Chamber of Commerce of the state of Ohio offered to print any part of it in hook form, he explained, if he would give them the figures.

"This was the thought that originated the idea of getting out a book for the use of real estate men which could be used generally," said Mr. Craigen. "and which would also assist the tax officials in arriving at a better knowledge of building values. The president of the department talked to me about it. I said I could get up a book for the use of the department and for the use of others as well.

I discovered that the records of the department were of little or no use for such a purpose, so I determined to write a book of my own." MEN AT SUFFRAGE RALLY Heard Women Orators at Brookholt, Mrs. Belmont's Home. One Man Addressed Meeting -He Is Dr. Jackole of Finland, Where Women Sit in Diet. (Special to The Eagle.) Hempstead, L.

March 18-At the urgent request of the people of the East Meadow District of Hempstead a suffrage meeting was held at Brookholt, Mrs. 0. H. P. Belmont's home here, last evening, under the auspices of the Political Equality Association, of which Mr.

CHARLES MULDOON KILLED IN QUARREL OVER WOMAN Tragedy at St.

Patrick's Day Revel in Rear Room of a Saloon in Manhattan. STABBED THROUGH THE HEART Brothers and Sisters in Brooklyn Home Fear to Tell Aged Mother of the Murder. In the midst of a St. Patrick's Day revel, in a crowded rear room of the saloon at the northwest corner of Lenox avenue and One Hundred and Thirteenth street, Manhattan, last night, Charles Muldoon, a custom house clerk, 32 years old, of 4507 Seventeenth avenue, Brooklyn, was stabbed to death. This morning detectives from the West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street: station placed under arrest seven witnesses to the der and they were all held by Coroner Hellenstein to appear later at the coroner's office.

The witnesses held were Mrs. Theresa Martin of 57 West One Hundred and Twenty-second street, James Heaney, 28 years old, of 300 West One Hundred and Fifty-first street: Joseph R. Dunn, bartender of the place, of 124 West One Hundred and Twelfth street; Fred J. Sallada, piano player, of 315 West One Hundred and Thirteenth street; Archibald Benham, violinist, of 54 Lenox avenue; Miss Catherine Mooney of 57 West One Hundred and Twelfth street, and Mrs. Anna Vaughn of 57 West One Hundred and Twelfth street, Manhattan.

Quarrel Started When Woman Was Ordered Return to Her Home. According facts learned by the to detectives and statement made to the the coroner by some of the witnesses, Mul- doon was in the rear room of the saloon with Mrs. Martin, one of the witnesses held, when a man, said to be her brother, Charles McDermott, of 57 West One Hundred and Twelfth street, who was recog- nized by several in the place, entered and, walking over to Mrs. Martin, told her that that was no place for her and ordered her to go home. Mrs.

Martin, according to the witnesses, replied that she had a right to do or go where she pleased and with whom she pleased, and an argument ensued between her and the young man. While the argument was going on the others in the place who had been listening and singing, accompanied by the three musicians in the place, stopped singing and watched the dispute. The young man attempted to force Mrs. Martin to go out of the place with him, when her companion, Muldoon, interfered and told him to mind his own business. The two men then got into an argument and McDermott suddenly pulled a long knife from his pocket and plunged the blade deep into the breast of Muldoon.

Knife Entered Muldoon's Heart and He Dropped Dead. The attack was unexpected, and the knife was buried in the left breast of Muldoon. He staggered a few feet and then dropped to the floor with a groan. The knife blade had reached his heart and he died instantly. In an instant the place was in confusion, during which the young man who did the stabbing escaped.

Mrs. Martin, according to the police, has not been living with her husband, and her friendship for Muldoon has been opposed by her brother and others of her family. Muldoon lived with his mother, a woman over 70 years of age, and his four brothers and four sisters, all unmarried. There are twelve in the family, the other four unmarried sisters residing in Philadelphia. The affair was a cerrible shock to the family, for Charles was known as a quiet man, with a punctiliousness that brought him home every evening within five minutes of a set time.

He had served four years in the Custom House and was well thought of there. One of his brothers, John, has been an inspector in the same department for ten years, and another brother is a clerk in the liquor entry department. Family Afraid to Tell Aged Mother of Their Bereavement. Charles was a member of St. Rose of Lima Church, Parkville, and also belonged to Naval Officer Kracke's Eighteenth Assembly District Republican Club.

In speaking of the matter. this afternoon the family was surprised that Charles should have been mixed up in any fuss, for he was not known to have any woman friends, and it is surmised that he must have met the woman spoken of through her unmarried sister. He was, before his connection with the Custom House, employed in a saloon in Manhattan, and it is supposed that he became acquainted with the Martins at that time. A pathetic side of the affair is in connection with the mother. Her hus-.

band, who was over 80 years old, died only last December, and the widow has not recovered from that shock. In view of this the family is afraid to tell her of the death of her son Charles. MR. RECORD TO SPEAK. George L.
