If you do not know by actual test the time saving merits of the Column Selector of the Model 10 Remington, then you do not know the Remington Typewriter of today. And the Column Selector is only one example There are many new improvements on the present day Reming- commander in Juarez before the recent rebel victor)-, is a refugee with Max Weber, German consul at Juarez, said a report received today by Gen Carranza from Gen Villa Gen Carranz told Villa to request the German consul to surrender the Federal officer on the grounds that Castro had been guilty of offenses against the public peace and tranquility.

Villa reported lie had placed a close guard around the German consulate to prevent escape of the former Federal commander. John V. Cot. who is a member of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, on his way to California through Texas, stopped over at El Paso last week. He made several trips across the Mexican border at the time the Federal troops and the rebels under Gen Villa were fighting south of Juarex.

In a Utter to relatives in Boston Mr Cox describes some of the scenes he witnessed on Mexican soil, and he writes that he is strongly against Intervention by the United States. Mr Cox writes: "Arrived here early this afternoon and went at once to Juarex, Mex, to get a touch of war. The battle was raging, probably 10 or 12 miles away. We could hear the cannon plainly at first, but later the sound died down. Either the ammunition gave out or the regulars had been driven back.

The rebels, with whom every one Is in sympathy, are said to have very little ammunition. "I saw a tram start for the battlefield with about a dozen nurses and two or three ragged men. supposed to be doctors On the cowcatcher were two boys not over 16, one of them slightly wounded, who held their guns at ready There was also an armed guard standing very suggestively behind the engineer and fireman, who did not appear perfectly happy. ROCKLAND, Sle, Dec 1 Vindication came today to Alton W. Decrow, deposed railway mail clerk, in the form of a telegram from Congressman Mc-Giliicuddy congratulating him upon the restoration of his position, an order for which will reach him in due season.

Decrow, whose home is in this city, had been In the railway mail service about 17 years, most of that time on the Rockland and Portland division. Inspectors seeking to discover the cause of heavy losses of mail matter in the past three charged that Decrow had diverted from the mails two articles valued at 10 cents, one being a magazine and the other an advertising knife. The latter bore no wrapper or address. Decrow admitted taking the magazine, but said that he intended to restore it to its wrapper before it came time for the continuation of its journey. The case lasted two days in United States District Court at Portland, and attracted widespread attention.

Decrow was acquitted by the jury in three minutes. Extraordinary efforts have since been made by his counsel to have his position restored, and in this they have been aided by Congressman Me-Gillicuddy and Ex-Senator Obadiah Gardner. The latter personally presented to Postmaster Burleson a petition headed by Gov Vrilliam T. Cobb, which bore the signature of every business man in this city' and every railway mail employe in New England who could be reached. It is believed here to be the only case on record where a railway mail clerk has been restored to his position aftef being tried on a criminal charge.

EVERETT, Dec 1 The frantic cry of "Mother!" by Allan McClay, at 6 Cedar terrace, who was asleep in his attic bedroom, brought Mrs Richard McClay to his bedside in time to rescue him and her two other children from probable death by suffocation, about 8 oclock this morning. Mrs McClay was working in her kitchen when she heard the cry. Upon opening the stairway door she ws met with a volume of smoke, which took her breath away. Groping up the stairway, she succeeded in reaching the bedroom in which the children had been sleeping. Grasping her 2-months-old baby in her arms, she took the hands of the other two children, Allan and Mildred, and pulled them down the stairway to safety.

She rushed to the home of a neighbor and an alarm was sounded from box 57. Another neighbor, seeing the smoke, pulled an alarm from another box, which brought many pieces of apparatus to the scene, as well as a large crowd. Fortunately the fire proved to be more of a smudge than anything else, producing quantities of smoke, but doing a damage of only $50. The cause is unknown. FOSS CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.

Tho finding of a bankbook among the dead man's possessions, which contained the correct name, caused the New York authorities to communicate with the Somerville National Bank, but Cashier Joseph E. Gendon reported that no such person had an account there. It was learned later that Commins had an account at the Somerville Trust Company. Commins left home a week ago without telling his folks where he was going. but this caused no worry, as he was In the habit of going away, al-wavs returning safe and sound.

His family has lived for many years in Somerville, where his father, the late Thomas C. Co -mins, conducted a profitable milk bus. ness. He is survived by two brothers Rnd four sisters Dr Thomas Commins Jr. a brother, while at the Somerville High School, was captain of the football team as well as the football team at Bowdoin College He is now in the Government service In Cuba.

The dead man was a football plaver at the Somerville Latin School, from which he graduated in 1P0S His father died about five years ngo and his mother about 18 months ago. The family was noncommittal as to what action will be taken to determine how the young man met his death It was stated in the New York dispatches that while at the hotel there he was accompanied by another young man, believed to be C. W. Thomas of Detroit, and two young women. NEW YORK POLICE AT WORK.

Charge That Commins Was Drugged Causes Headquarters Men to Be Sent to Investigate. NEW YORK, Dec 1 Coroner's Physician Albert T. Weston severely criticised the detectives of the West 47th-st Station tonight for their failure to recognize that a crime had been committed in connection with the death of Edward F. Commins, aged 25, in Flower Hospital last Friday while here on a visit from his home in Somerville. Mass.

The neglect on the part of the police to act in the case, where a young man suffering from a powerful narcotic is taken to a hospital and there tells of having been drugged and robbed, is pr -e5)ori sajj to absolutely criminal, a reporter. Commins came to New York 10 days ago with a theatrical troupe which had been playing in Boston With C. W. Thomas, connected with a costume company of Detroit, he registered at the Times-sq Hotel, 206 West 43d st. Two members of the theatrical company, Miss Wilson and Miss also registered at the hotel.

At 6-30 Wednesday morning Mr Commins telephoned to my loom that he was sick and had been robbed of $20 by a woman who placed a white powder in a glass of beer, Miss Wilson said tonight. I Joked with him about taking care of his money, as during the three weeks Miss Hamilton and I knew him he spent on an average $50 a night. I told him I would see him after the show that night, supposing he had imbibed a little too freeiy A chambermaid went to a room 'n the hotel shortly after 10 oclock that 'norn-mg, found the door locked and returned at 1 o'clock. The door was open and Commins was lying on the bed unconscious. Dr Walter A.

Shoales of 230 West 44th st recognized symptoms of narcotic poisoning, applied remedies and then advised Commins be taken to a hospital. Policeman Duffy of the West 47th-st Station, a recent appointee, called Dr ODonnell of Flower Hospital, who also noted that Commins had been poisoned by morphine, he thought. At the hospital Dr Keating of the house staff asked Commins if he could recall what had happened. I was given knockout drops, he said. 1 was drinking beer with a woman and saw her put something in her drink.

She switched the drinks and I got mine. Thursday night Commins developed pneumonia and less than 24 hours later he died Sundav Dr eston received information which made him decide to investigate. The autopsy I performed revealed that pneumonia did cause death, Dr Weston said. The crime was in giving the man a narcotic which indirectly caused death. At 6 oclock tonight detectives from Headquarters began to question everv one connected with the case.

Search was made for the woman described by Commins. The body was identified at the morgue by a relative, Thomas J. Commins of 147 Luqueer st. Brooklyn. VILLA LOOTS STORES.

Arranges to Sell Booty in El Paso Merchants Protest to Washington $100,000 Taken From Bank. JUAREZ, Mex, Dec 1 Unknown to any one but the sufferers. Villas forces hae looted all the principal stores in Juarez and Villa has arranged to sell the ill-gotten gams to the El Paso and Mexican wholesale merchants at a discount. This fact developed today when Juarez merchants wired a protest to Washington against allowing the exportation trom Juarez to El Paso of $75,000 worth of wholesale, groceries, wines and other goods which had been taken from the Truba wholesale stoie in Juarez by Villa. This store is one that was closed when Villa demanded that the stores accept hig fiat money.

The Spaniards refused and turned over the keys to the store to American Consul Thomas D. Edwards in Juarez. "In spite of the fact that the goods were unde- the protection of the American consul, Villa's men went to the store and looted it, using wagons to haul away the booty to private ware- houses, where it was stored until it could be disposed of at retail or Eent to the American side. A number of El Paso wholesale merchants are implicated in the plan for disposing of the goods. It is probable that an effort will be made by attorneys for the foreign merchants in Juarez to pt the goods from being released at the customhouse on the American side.

Carloads of supplies, fine wines and liquors and wholesale groceries were taken from the stores of the merchants who closed their shops. The Banco Mineroelonglng to the Creel Terranzas interests, was also looted of $100,000 Mexican money and the Banco National opened but no money' found, as it had been removed. Some of the Spanish storekeepers of Juarez are said to have been insured against looting in an English, company.

The evacuation leaves the city open to possession by the rebels. The town was Invested weeks ago. The report received by ilia states Salvador Mercado, military Governor of the State, with 2000 Federal troops had left on foot for Cjinaga on the United States border near Marfa, aex, that Gens Jose Inez Salazar and Pas-cual Orozco with more than lOnO e-erals had retreated to the mountains west of the city, and that 'Mmdreds or civilians, including women and childrer who were on the verge of starvation, had started out to walk to the Lnitefl States border Besides being the capital of the State, Chihuahua, with a population normally of 35,000, Is the metropolis of Northern Mexico. Neither In the Madero revolution nor in the piesent uprising has Chihuahua been taken from the ed-erals. Its gairison and the commanding positions for sharpshooters and machine guns afforded by the cathedral Rnd the public buildings heretofore had presented a formidable barrier to invaders.

Had the rebels reached the city and the Federals resisted it was believed a fight in the city would have resulted in great loss of life and property. Conditions in the city were said to be such that life there was no longer endurable. The Spanish viaduct which convevs water was reported to have been destroyed and the food supply exhausted. Gen Villa tonight telegraphed details of the evacuation to Gen Carranza at Hermosillo, stating the proposed advance of the rebels southward to Mexico City would now be expedited The possession of the city, he said, ould make lebel territorv straight through to Zacatecas and operations would begin about that city and Aguas Calientes Gen Villa said Fedei ico Moye, a prominent merchant, had been named Civil Governor of Chihuahua State, his election being based on the belief he would be accepted bv the rebels. "The report of the capitulation of Chihuahua.

said Vi'la. "came to me in an official dispatch, which said the city was evacuated on Sunday. The rebel courier at once set out and rode 130 miles northward, where he met the lebel advance guaid. This is a point called Villa Ahumarta, where w'e have established telegraph communication. I have transmitted the details to Gen Carranza, the head of the revolution.

"It is my purpose now to send a force to intercept Mercado, who is fleeing to Ojinaga, and also to capture Oiozco and Salazar. Our main body probably will concentrate at Chihuahua prepaiatory to the advance southward. We ill be nearing Mexico City within a month. ESCAPED TO GUAYMAS. Federal Garrison Fled From Culia-can by Night and Took Steamer for Sonora Port.

NOGALES, Ari, Dec from American sources at Guaymas states that 1700 men of the Culiacan Federal garrison reached Guaymas by 1 steamer after evacuating he Sinaloa State capital to Obreson Constitu- tionalist forces. This number accounts for all but about 100 of the original Fed- eral garrison, so it is believed the total of killed and wounded and deserters must be covered by the latter figures. Residents of Culiacan are quoted as saying the evacuation as made shortly after dark and was not discovered by the Constitutionalists for 12 hours, so it is supposed the 75-mile retreat to the boats was made good order. Reports circulated here that the Federal garrison at Guaymas had surrendered were generally discredited. It was believed, however, that the disaffection of the troops under Gen Ojeda and the rebel preparations to renew the attack presage the early fall of the Sonora seapoi t.

TO ATTACK MONTEREY. Rebels Said to Be Mobilizing at Can-della Banks Request Deposits Be Withdrawn. LAREDO, Tex, Dec 1 Reports received here today stated that rebels were mobilizing at Candela, near Monterey, for an attack on Monterey. The revolutionists, it was said, have not molested the railroads and are giving noncombatants every opportunity to leave the city-. Color is given to the report of prepa-tations for an attack bv the rumor that Monterey banks have requested the withdrawal of money' there.

One banker reported in gold had been withdrawn last Saturday. Refugees al ready have deposited in gold in Laiedo banks. It was learned definitely today that the Bank of London and Mexico has closed its Monterey branch and that the Banco Mercantil also has arranged to withdraw all deposits.

Says Troops Will Probably Have to Stay on Border for Long Time-Arms Embargo Hard to Enforce. WASHINGTON, Dec 1 How the American border patrol has found it well nigh impossible to enforce the embargo against the shipment of arms and ammunition into Mexico was described in a report from Brig Gen Bliss, commanding the forces on the border, made public today at the War Department. Practically the entire population along the International line, the report said, is in sympathy with the Mexican rebels and as the result large quantities of war munitions have been smuggled across in spite of the unceasing vigilance of the troopers. Gen Bliss complained of the vagueness of the 4aw He recommended that two of the best equipped officers of the Government's legal force be sent down to travel along the line and decide questions of doubtful rights and powers. In this connection the General referred to instructions sent to him last June to hold troops in readiness to go to the aid of the threatened American consular representative at Piedras Ne-gras.

For several days, the General pointed out, the question of possible peace or war rested entirely upon the discretion of this consul, as it was a foregone conclusion that the American soldiers would have had to fight their wav into Mexico if the necessity of pro tecting the consul had arisen The necessity of keeping a consider- able proportion of the United States oiates Army on the border for an indefinite period was forecast in the report. Gen Bliss called attention to the fulfillment of his prediction that the breaking up of Orozcos army last year into small bands would not restore peace because the large lawless element among the troops would not consent to return to ordinary vocations. "This attitude, said the report especially characterized the leaders and forces in the State of Chihuahua. These are the forces that have always been popularly known along the border as red-tlaggers Their leaders preach the distribution of land and of wealth generally, and apparently have small concern with any other faction of the revolution." A consideration of these facts, Gen Bliss added, is of interest, as they suggest another forecasting of the future conditions across the border -which lead to one successful revolution unfortunately seem always to point the way to a counter-revolution If this be the case, 'he first reasonable hope of continued peace will come when. an established government proves strong enougn to rrum the counter-revolution "The prevalence of the present conditions means the continued aceupation of the border by a strong force of troops.

The success of the present revolution will probably mean the Indefinite continuarce of this occupation in anticipation of the counter-revolution. When a counter-revolution is thoroughly crushed (at least in the Northern States) and the established government can Occupy and hold its own border towns, normal conditions will be restored end a redistribution of our troons will be possible." Saw Villa Arrive in Juarez. "The train had brought in 50 dead and wounded Just before I arrived, and about a dozen of the latter were hanging around, more or less bandaged. One boy tboy seem to predominate) took off his hat and showed me where a bullet had plowed along his scalp. "Others were more seriously wounded.

The are very stoical and there does r.ot seem to be a nickels worth of intelligence In the whole bunch, but they certainly are not cowards They have no uniforms and most of their guns are old-fashioned affans." In a second letter describing another visit to Juarez Mr Cox says: "This morning I went to Juarez again. 1 at the railroad station just as a long train of about cars and seven or eight engines rolled in. There was a bugler on the front car, in which Gen Villa rode, but there was no demonstration either from the soldieis on top of the tiain or from the spectators, except a little handclapping from the Americans It simply shows what a stoical race the Mexicans are. "The cars were full of wounded and pusonets, w.th quite a sprinkling of f.ead. It was a horrid sight and might have been a good object lesson to Americans wbo were sicking us on to Mexico and doing what they can to hamper the good man at Washington in his efforts to settle matteis without embroiling us Americans Behind Machine Guns.

"Besides the prisoners, the cars were tilled with the returning soldiers and the spoils of war. There were a good many women camp followers among them and in nearly every car a fire was i burning on the floor and cooking w-as going on "The rebels captured an armored car, which was very interesting, and also a good many machine guns. I saw the young American who had charge of Villas artillery and he was a bright, frenk-appearmg young man. It was I said that the machine gunners were almost all Americans, who werepaid from $13 to $20 a day in gold. The train had hardly arrived before the cavalry came pouring in from the battlefield, and it was a sight of my life.

Such a one I had never seen before, although I have seen 15,000 Guatemalans passing in review. These fellows, however, have been fighting tor a long time and are trained down to business. They are a wild, nerce looking lot, and when anv one tells you that a few of Uncle Sams troops tan come down here and put them to rout he is talking through Pis sombrero. They know the country and they can outride and outshoot us. Furthermore, they are well drilled and have the blod lust and desire to kill, which is not In our boys, thank God: Women March In Ranks.

There were. I should say, 30 women in the crowd, all carrying rifles or big revolvers and with ammunition belts over their shoulders. By the way, this talk that Villa has no ammunition must be taken with a grain of salt, as his men were fairly bristling with it. There weie also a great many very old men who looked particularly hardy and implacable. "I did not see a single case of intoxication, nor were we Americans interfered with in anv way.

These fellow certainly are good winners and I cannot imagine a crowd of our good Ameiiean boys behaving so well under the circumstances. To be sure the saloons are all closed. The gamblers are setting up tents all along the streets and the soldiers and others are reducing their rolls by bucking Mexican roulette, lottery and other Mexican games of chance. "A great many of the soldiers are cl id in the uniform of the regulars, or Federals, which means that they were kind enough to separate the previous owners front their garments before shooting them, thereby providing themselves with fr clothing free from bullet holes. "It was said that all officers and volunteers were shot as soon as captured.

Lively Visit to Battlefield. "Our American soldiers are keeping strictly on their side of the river; presumably they have orders to do so.
