CUBAN IN BIG ■ — Former Birmingham Boy Has Trouble With Alleged Servian Soldiers Hinton G. Clabaugh. chief of the bureau of investigation of the department of Justice, had a lively time in Chicago Fri day night with Servians eti route to Can ada to join the English forces. Clabaugh will be remembered as a former Birming ham boy who became prominent through his prosecution of the Southern Whole sale Grocers' association. He is a brother of S. F. Clabaugh, postmaster at Tus caloosa. The Chicago Tribune, after an nouncing the receipt by the police of a riot call, continues: “Three patrol wagons loaded with re serves swooped down on the Polk street station. Six coaches standing on a track under the train shed'were in an uproar Twenty inspectors working under Hinton O. Clabaugh. chief of the bureau of in vestigation of the department of justice, were having the battle of their lives. “The coaches were fairly bursting with shrieking, gesticulating, struggling Ser vians. They fell over each other in the aisles, battled with each other to reach the doors, climbed and fell througli the windows, and sprawl'd over the plat forms. “They picked themselves up to leap on the United States deputy marshals like so many rats. Some of the marshals were knocked down and the men swarmed over on top of them. “Then the police waded in. They used their clubs right and left, beating the men slowly bark into the cars. Five of the travelers, more belligerent than the rest, were collared and hustled Into the patrol wagon to be driven to cells. Finally the police restored a semblance of order and then learned where the Invading army had come from. “The travelers came from Pittsburg over the Wabash and were on their way to Canada to take boat for England. They claimed to be reservists of the Servian army, but Chief Clabaugh received word that many of them were not. “Accordingly, when the coaches rolled into the Polk street station at 8:50. 20 deputy marshals were on hand to make the proper investigation. The coaches were uncoupled from the engine and the deputies started through the cars. "Instantly there was an uproar. They leaped upon the marshals with yells that would have made the blood of the Aus trian army curdle. They shoved some of the deputies out of the ears and then followed up their advantage. "A second riot broke out when Deputy Marshal John II. Anderson put handcuff? on one of the men who refused to answer questions. The Servians got him down but the police waded in and rescued him. “Chief Clabaugh. who also questioned the men. was unable to find any evidence to contradict the denial of the men that they had enlisted. Federal officials in Net* York, however, were informed by wire to be on the lookout for the crowd. ♦ When the squad arrived there they were taken into custody and after a severe grilling the men were ordered held for return to San Francisco. “None of the deputies or officers was seriously injured.” DESPE E NEGRO IS IN IN TOILS Opelika, June 27.—(Special.)—Pomp Dickerson, the negro who made a dur ing and sensational escape from the Lee county jail early last Monday morning by the use of wooden keys which ho fashioned with a pen knife, was re captured this morning at 5:30 o'clock by Deputy Sheriff Tobe Betts, Chief of Police Buck Jones and a posse of citi zens about five miles west of this place at the home of Mitchell Merchant, who was harboring him.

Tribute to Mrs. Forney To the Editor of The Age-Herald: At her residence in Jacksonville, on the 25th day of June, calmly fell asleep in Jesus, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Forney, at the age of 92 years. The deceased was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Ira Whitaker, prominent citizen of Troy, N. Y. She was born at that place February 26, 1824, and seminary. On September 24, 1849, she 1 seminary. On September 24, 1949, she was married in Troy, N. Y., to the late Joseph B. Forney, brother of the late Generals William Henry and John H. Forney of Jacksonville. She was one cf the pioneers of this town and its oldest inhabitant at the time of her death and was known and loved by everyone in the community. Having known her well for 25 years, the writer can truthfully say of her that In his wide acquaintance of men and women he has met none more noble and lovely than she. Through the heart agony of the civil war and trying scenes of the recon struction days, and the burden of the after years, throughout her long pil grimage, she was always the same cheerful, practical, hopeful and help ful "Mother In Israel." One of her noblest traits was that she never spoke ill of people—always tried to throw oM upon troubled waters. She was one cf that number described by the Mas ter as especially blessed—"the peace makers," She will ever be remembered os a ministering angel to the suffer ing and afflicted In life and for her tender ministrations to the dying. In all the relations of life, as wife, mother, grandmother, friend and church member, she was faithful, con scientious, loyal and true; and in her whole life she reflected “the tender grace of a day that Is dead”—when chivalry of knighthood and the gentle Indefinable grace and womanliness ol the south, wi|h Its hallowed traditions of all that is sweetest, kindest and most lovable In man or woman, shone at its height with the halo of ante bellum days. As a gentle zephyr wafted from Parndlse, she breathed upon us all a sweet spirit of love and peace; an. when She passed to that “rest thul remaineth to the people of God," she left a benediction upon her commun ity In the beautiful example of a saint ly life, and she left a void In the heart) of her friends that cannot be filled. And tier death was like her life calm and peaceful, as some stately shit with sails full set, that victoriouslj weathering the storm, after a lotrf voyage makes the haven of promts) at last, in safety and peace. She leaves a son and daughter I-Ienry Forney of California, and Mrs Sarah Forney Caldwell of Jacksonville seven grandchildren, Mrs. J. Knoi Fleming of Rlrmlngham. Mrs. Carl I.a' r.nd Mrs. Kyle Elliott of Gadsden. Johr Cnldwell and Misses Kate, Amelia an< Avery Caldwell of Jacksonville, to gether with a host of friends to mourl her loss and cherish her memory am strive to emulate her example. Th. Impressive funeral service was hell at St. Luke s Episcopal church at 10:31 a. in., Saturday. A profusion of beau tlful flowers attested her many de voted friends. W. T. ALLEN, Rector of St. Luke's Church. Jacksonville, June 28, 1918. Half Spring Chicken 20c Daisy Barbecue 1715 3d Ave. Ia Ord cries Goode Please Steatloa TUB AUE-H8HIIP I ROM NEVER MOVED SO SAYREIS TOLD Windsor, Vtv June 27.—President Wilson and members of his family out for an afternoon automobile ride, became lost today in the foothills of the Green mountains and for nearly five hours were riding through dense forests, up and down steep inclines, part of the time in a driving rain. The President was accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Francis B. 8ayre, Miss Margaret Wilson, Miss Helen Wood row Bones, Dr. Cary T. Grayson and several secret service men. The chauf feurs of the two cars carrying the bridal party were from Washington and the President knew the country as well as anyone with him. At one place Sayre leaned out and spoke to a farmer. “Where does this road go?" he in r. hi red. “I’ve been living here all my life and it never went anywhere," replied I the man, while the President tried to preserve his gravity. Gen. V. Huerta Arrested By Federal Officers at El Paso (Continued from Page One) people, as a soldier shall be deemed guilty of high misdemeanor and shall be fined not more than $1000 and imprisoned not more than three years.” Another section, No. 5286, says: “Every person who within the territory or Jurisdiction of the United States, be gins or sets on foot, or provides, or pre pares the means for, any military expedi tion or enterprise, to be carried on from thence against the territory or dominions of any foreign prince, or state, or any colony, district, or people, with whom the United States are at peace, shall be deemed guilty of high misdemeanor and shall be fined not exceeding $3000 and Im prisoned not more than three years.” Officials at the department of Justice re fused to say under which statute General Huerta and General Orozco had been held but said this would be developed If for mal arrests were made, a contingency de pending upon the information contained in the expected reports from the agents of the department of Justice. While the department here will keep a close watch on the case, officials made It clear that It was now' entirely in the hands of United States Attorney Camp. Upon him rests the responsibility of keep ing the Mexicans under surveillance while they are at liberty on bond. Speculation was widespread in official and diplomatic quarters as to the effect of the arrest of Huerta on the political j situation generally in Mexico. The Villa and Carranza adherents regarded it as contradicting reports that the American government had lost its previously ex pressed sympathy for the original con stitutionalist movement and was now ready to turn to those formerly in con trol of Mexican politics. So far as the state department is concerned, the ques tions involved are concerned merely with violations of neutrality. No officials would admit that the desire of the Amer ican government to prevent Genera! Huerta from further complicating the sit uation in Mexico had any bearing on the arrests, but this was the interpretation which Elizio Arrendondo, Washington representative of Carranza, placed on it in his statement issued tonight, saying: CARRANZA OFFICIALS PLEASED AT ARREST “The detention of Victoriano Huerta. Orozco and their accomplices at El Paso is an act of justice on the part of the T'nlted States government. The maze ol machinations conducted in secrecy againsl the peace of Mexico by well-known re actionaries has culminated In this at tempt at inaugurating a counter revo lution. Tt gives President Wilson's ad ministration an opportunity to express definitely its adherence to the principles of liberal and democratic government as opposed to the government of the reac tionary element. It has frustrated a sedi tious plot. “Huerta's aims are not the bettermenl of the Mexican people but the gratlflca tion ©f his own selfish ends. His move ment Is headed by the same man w’hr hears the guilt of the murders of Presi dent Madero and Vice President Pin* Raurez.” Enrique C. Ulorente, Washington agen of General Villa, also declared his grati fieation that General Huerta had bee? detained and reiterated that General An geles was on friendly terms with Villt and would return to the field after com pleting a military mission to the Unite* States. While future steps in the policy whicl President Wilson is formulating for i solution of the Mexican problem will no be decided until his return from Pornish N. II., diplomatists familiar wMth the sit uation took the view that the Washingtoi government was unwilling in any event uality to permit General Huerta and hi associates to return to Mexican soi through American territory.
