-jp vV-SV THE WASHINGTON HERALD, MONDAY, APaRIL 24, 1911. CHILD RESCUED FROM 1 ATTACK III LONELY SPDT Edward Gayer, Aged 48, field as Girl's Abductor. CAUGfiT NEAE VIADUCT Seized Under Arms, Slie Is Made to Bide on Car. Attracted by agonizing screams coming from a lonely spot near a Baltimore and Ohio Railroad viaduct at Second street and Rhode Island avenue northeast yesterday about 6 o'clock, three pedestrians found nine-year-old Achsah Petty, of 421 street northwest, struggling in the grasp of Edward Gayer, a bricklayer, forty-eight years old. The little girl was fighting with all her strength to prevent the man from making a brutal assault upon her, according to the story told the police by her rescuers, who arrived in time to halt a horrible crime.

CHARGED WITH ABDUCTION. Gayer Is locked up at the Tenth precinct station, charged with abduction under section 612 of the police code. It was one of the most sensational attempts at absault on record in the District. She was picked up bodily by "Gayer, who was standing on tho platform of a moving car at Fourth street and New York avenuo northwest, and made to ride with him to the isolated culvert. At the time the streets were crowded with strollers, but the little girl was too frightened to make an outcry.

The child had been playing with Florence Jones, twelve years old, who lives next door to tho Petty home, and accompanied her chum when she went with ber mother to take a car downtown. Mrs. Jones told Achsah they would return In about fifteen minutes, and she promised to wait for them. She waved them good-by as they boarded a Fourth street car and ran to the center of the street just as another car, bound In an opposite direction, was coming past. Palled Child on Car.

Gayer, the police say, was on the second car, standing on the rear platform. As the girl ran past the steps he Beized her under the arm pits and lifted her to a place beside him. At first the hardly realized her situation, and becoming terrorized, could not cry out. Tho man calmed her fears by telling her he would give her a nice car ride. He took her, according to the police, to the culvert, where she began to scream, and it was then that the pedestrians, James Burnston, of 933 street southwest, and Walter Bartholomy.

of 933 street southwest, arrived oni the scene. They asked Gayer what the troubls was. He said the4 girl was his daughter and that they had no business interfering. The girl, seeing that the men were her friends, told them what had occurred, while Gayer was slipping away. Incensed beyond measure, the two men gave chase, and caught the alleged abductor before he had a chance to make his escape.

They brought him back to where the little girl was waiting. Benjamin Gordon, a motorcyclist, came by at this time and he was urged by the two rescuers to go for a policeman. Burnston and Bartholomy held Gayer until Gordon returned with an officer from the Second precinct, who took him in custody. The police say Gayler offered the child money and treated her kindly un'til they left the car and reached the spot. Will Prem Cbarsre.

Mrs Petty said last night that she would press the charges against Gayer the limit. Tho mother felt that her daughter had narrowly escaped assault, and that no penalty would be too heavy to Inflict on the accused. "I do not think Achsah realized at first what her captor meant, and It was not until she reached the culvert that the full horror of her abductor's purpose dawned upon her," said Mrs. Petty "He told the child he had no home, after offering other proposals, and that he lived in the woods and wanted her to go with him." Late last night the child, who la extremely pretty, had partly recovered from her although she became hysterical at times during the evening when she recalled the ordeal through which she had passed Achsah attends the Abbott school and is in the second grade.

PEACE WILL COME SOON Government Ready to Agua Prieta Mix-up. MEXICAN MINISTER IS FOR ARMISTICE PLAN Special Dispatch to the New Tort American and Washington Herald. Mexico City, via Laredo, April 23. The Mexican government Is sincerely desirous of avoiding loss of life and International complications and Is now studying the suggestion for an armistice made by Dr. Vasquez Gomez In Mr.

Madero's name. As stated by me before the Chamber of Deputies, the Mexican government's first consideration is the defense of tho natlons vital Interest and dignity. DE LA BARRA. Minister Foreign Affairs. By OTHEMAX STEVEXS.

Mexico City, April 23. Secretary of Foreign Relations de la Barra is in receipt to-day of further telegrams from Dr. Gomez, which I understand are of a tranquilizing nature. It is the belief of the government that peace will be formally declared in two weeks' time. MAUKIIO AAVAKEXS.

Madero is finding that the new policy of the government ls nearly Identical with what he has been fighting for, and Is beginning to be convinced of the sincerity of Ministers de la Rasra and Llmantour The general amnesty, that Is to follow the arriving at agreement, will be followed, I am able to say on authority, by a determined effort on the part of the ministry to create political parties with platforms of principles similar to the political machinery of parlies In the United States. The ministerial authority for this said: "To -make peace effective wo must remove from the political field any man on horseback. Our project Is to bring about the creation of real parties based on political principles and not on personal idenUties or momentary heroes. "We have reason to believe that peace will be formally declared In two weeks' time: after that the efforts of the government will be directed toward tho creation of parties. "Leading politicians of varying creeds will be invited to conferences, and will he encouraged to construct central committees of their parties with a branch working In even' State and district.

Clinnere Politics. "By this means we expect to rehabilitate the political scheme in Mexico, and make It a country of contests by reason of propaganda. The personal element, the presence In politics of captains, has been nearly the ruin of the country. "We have learned our lesson, and from now on the fighting here will be done In regular conventions, and not In the field. There will be an open field.

Discussions will be open to all parties, and as soon as the matter has gone enough to Justify It, conventions will be urged for the preliminary canter over the free political course." "The government feels greatly Irritated over the premature disclosure of the note given by tho Mexican foreign office In reply to our government's notes regarding the Agua Prieta mix-up. Expressions of surprise and regret at the disclosure have been sent to our State Department, Intimating that an explanation would bo acceptable and due to the dignity of the Mexican government "Even If Madero should fly the coop now and smash the negotiations. I doubt very much If his revolution would continue to assume any serious proportions. The government, through de la Barra and Llmantour. has proied Its capacity, and to-day.

Instead of being sick of the government, the people seem to bo sick of the war." ARMISTICE IS EXPECTED BY BOTH ARMY LEADERS El Paso, April 23. The armistice between the lnsurrectos and the federals has been extended for another Ave days. The time dates from this afternoon at 1:30 o'clock, when Francisco I. Madero puts his signature to the terms. Prior to that.

Gen. Navarro, commanding the federal troops In Juarez, had already signed the document. The agreement provides that there will be no fighting during the term of the armistice, and that- each side will take no further steps to re-enforce or construct fortifications while Its terms are In operation. The lnsurrectos are to be given permission to take food for themselves and horses, also clothing, from El Paso or Juarez "without molestation. These supplies are to be passed over the international bridges between El Paso and Juarez without payment of duty to the federal officials of Mexico.

The peace negoUatlons are to be carried on from El Paso. Dr. Gomez, In charge of the Washington agency of the lnsurrectos. Is expected to come here at once. The Madero family is now here, and Oscar Branlff and Esqulvel Obregon, congressmen from Mexico City, have been here for several days representing President Diaz.

Having found that the army will soon be disbanded, labor contractors are beginning to arrive here to Ire men for railroad work. One man. who hires thousands of men every month, believes he will be able to place several thousand men on railroad track, work in the United States in a few days. Farms and ranches throughout Mexico need mep, and It will not be a month until all will have employment if they only want It If the army Is disbanded. Report Flsrhtlnsr.

Advices from Torreon state that after one of the. bloodiest fights In the history of the present war, Parrias has bea cap- it rmartiftn tured by a force of S00 revolutionists urf-der local leaders. It Is reported that a battle Is In progress at San Juan do Guadalupe In the State of' 'Durango. kThe attacking parties are said to be members of Moyas' band. From all accounts the band is the most dangerous of all the combinations which are working against the public peace.

The band has been operating under the command of Aga Fleto Banahuelos. On Saturday morning. In a drunken riot, the men fought among themselves, six of them being killed. During the same day Aga Pieto Banahuelos was killed by two of his men. One of these was afterward killed by partisans of the leader.

On the following day Dlonclo Salas, the manager of the Alamo ranch, denied the rebels corn and money. He was roped and dragged 500 feet by one of the mounted men of the attacking party and badly cut up with a machete. REYES RECALLED. Former Minister Ordered to Mexico by Diaz.

Paris, April 23. President Diaz, of Mexico, has recalled Gen. Bernardo Reyes, the former Mexican minister of war, whom ho sent to Paris during the last elections on a mission of military research. Gen. Reyes Is busy preparing to leave.

"I am going home to help my country." he said to-day. WILL GEORGETOWN GET CHEAPER GAS? A Question Which Interests Citizens of the Old Burg. Will tho people of Georgetown get cheaper gas? That Is the question which Is now agitating tho citizens west of Rock Creek. There seems to be a division of sentiment In the Washington Gaslight Company, which controls the Georgetown company, upon the question. One side Fays that a reduction will be made In the near future and the other side says It Is not at all likely.

Jr. tho meantime the Georgetown citizens are paying Jl per 1.00) cubic feet for gas, as against cents In this city, jujt as they paid II 25 when the price here was only Jl. This condition of affairs has naturally excited crftlclsm and protest, but nothing has been done In the way of relief. I'roKrnmme Under Connldprntlon. According to the programme which Is now under consideration.

It Is proposed that the Washington company shall furnish gas to Its Georgt'town neighbor at a price said to be alxiut 4) cents, which will allow It to be distributed In Georgetown for 85 cents, the price In Washington It Is said that this can be done without violating the terms of the charters of either company, besides which It Is believed that no court would Interpose a technical objection to any proposition which would give the Georgetown public the advantage of cheaper gas. When this arrangement Is made, according to the scheme which is now being discussed, the Georgetown company will cIo-e its old plant and proceed at once to finance a bond Issue which will enable It to pmchaFe a large tract of ground in the suburbs of Georgetown and erect upon It a modern gas plant This will not only remove the manufacture of gas from the city, where It Is always more or less objectionable, but It will also afford ample room for enlargement In the tuture Air. noIilHhorouKh'a Statement. The authority for tho statement that no reduction In price Is likely to occur within the near future Is Joseph Letter, Interview appenred In The Washington Herald yesterday. regard to this interview.

R. H. Goldsborough said last night- "Inasmuch as a newspaper controversy In regard to our local gas matters might proe Injurious to the Interests of all concerned. Including the public, I do not feel called upon to reply to the statement made by Mr. Letter yesterday, further thnn this: A careful perusal of the remarks attributed to me In on afternoon paper will show that they did not purport to represent any other than my own deductions In the premises.

My opinions on all points raised were based upon familiarity with the law of the case, my long acquaintance with the views of the owners of both the Washington and Georgetown- properties, and my own convictions as to the duties of each to the other and of all to the community we are privileged to serve. "It may not be out of place to add that whatever may or may not be thought elsewhere at present, lt will clearly appear which of us correctly represents the views of the great body of the stockholders when their wishes ere finally expressed." Comniiaalonera Have No Authority. With reference to Mr. Leiter's statement that the matter was dependent upon the consent of the District Commissioners to a merger of the two companies. Commissioner Rudolph said he old not see where the sanction of the Commissioners would figure in the matter.

"That Is a matter for the stockholders to settle, and not for the District authorities," said Commissioner Rudolph last night. "It would be an Ideal thing to merge the compajiles Is my personal opinion. As I Informed, It costs the Georgetown company almost twice as much to manufacture the gas as It does the Washington company. This being the case. It seems to me that a merger would beneficial to both companies." Corporation Counsel E.

H. Thomas said yesterday he knew of no law on the statute books that called for the sanction of the Commissioners for the proposed merger. Capital and Snrpiaa. gJOO.OOa. I Store Your Valuable Silverware and jfamily plate with this company.

"The army and navy form the most exclusive set of people in the world," he said. "That not only applies "to this country but to others as well. Why they should consider themselves such Is something I have never been able to fathom.

I have no patience wjth such people and when they Insult respectable people It Is time to call a halt- The Committee on Naval Affairs of the House has never met. but I am Inclined to think that this will be the means of calling a meeting and finding out Just what status the naval people think they occupy." Mrs. Robert M. La Follette, wife of the Senator, who Is not only a social leader In Washington, but prominent along the broader educational lines for women, did not hesitate to condemn most decidedly the attltudo taken by the authorities of the Academy, and expressed her disapproval of the quotation, "Misunderstood the social status of the young lady." "Wo can't begin to make any such distinction In this country, I am very glad to said Mrs. La Follette.

as any other true American woman and mother, should bitterly resent the at tempt by any official, however exalted, to make social distinctions In official life. I believe that any good girl's social position should not be questioned because she simply strives to pay for her existence in the world by working. A working woman should be welcomed In any circle to which her education, culture, and general bearing will admit her. Irrespective of whether she Is a working voman or a woman of independent means. DLaapprovea of Attitude.

"I believe In democracv," continued Mrs. La Follette. "as much In society as In politics. What official In this country has a right to decide upon the social status of any young girl? I most heartily disapprove. of the attitude taken by the officials, and believe that nn apology Is due Miss Beers.

Not because it has leen discovered that she has influential friends, but because she Is a girl of refinement and culture and fitted to move in the same circle as any naval cadet, and that her working for her living Is ronorablo and should be no detriment to socially." Miss Mabel Boardman paid a tribute to the working woman when she said: "I think it an honor for a woman to earn her living. But I don't think the officials In Annapolis meant the Beers affair quite as It was taken generally. Of course, there are certain planes for the officers and others for the enlisted men That Is a matter of discipline. Because a young lady Is obliged to work should not put her outside of the sphere of her kind. and there will never be such a system In America to any great extent, officially at any rate.

Mrs. A. L. Barber has come out as the chamnlon of the working girl also. "I canot be too emphatic In said Mrs.

Barbtr, "that there should decldely not be any difference made so cially between a girl who Is obliged to earn her own living und one who does not have to I mean thero should not be any difference made for that reason A young lady who works should be given the same social recognition as her brother who also works Whoever heard of man bo barred from society because he earned money? Mrs. William Cummlng Story, who Is the honorary State regent of New York D. A. said: "That one could look down upon and Insult a young girl of gentle birth, and breeding, well educated, and of pleasing personality simply because she worked for a living, is Inconceivable to the real American. History teaches us that true patriotism Is closely nllled with living the right kind of life the year around, and snobbery of any kind Is never found In a true patriot.

To love one another and be kind and considerate to others are after all the cardinal principles of living." Condemn Social Rales. Dr. John Reld Shannon, pastor of the Metropolitan M. E. Church, was vigorous In his condemnation of the present social rules and requirements.

"This thing of excluding a woman of pure morals and lrreproachablecharacter from social circles on the ground that she makes her own living Is contemptible American snobbery." declared Dr. Shan non. "There Is no one in this world more ti be honored than the woman who in a reputable way supports herself and re lleves her family of the necessity," he continued. "This sex doctrine is In per fect keeping with the genius of American institutions, and social standing should rest on nothing but good character and culture, nnd when this Is not recognized at the Naval Academy I fear for the future of our navy and Its officers." Dr. Rabbi Abram Simon, one of the most noted Jewish preachers In the United States, was Indignant that a clal lino should be drawn by government authorities.

"We have a right to feel that an lnstl tutlon maintained by the people and for the protection of the people has no ethl cal right to create an artificial social barrier between those who give and those who are to be protected," Dr. Simon said. "I notice with the growth of wealth and Increase of the leisure class there seems to be a tendency to widen the breach between the so-called upper and lower classes, which has caused the de velopment of an affected social aristoc racy. The American as a rule loves fair play and square dealing, and even In social questions snobbery Is always a concession that one does not possess that which he pretends he does. The Amerl can at heart condemns every indication of this stupid and prejudiced sort of artificial life, nnd especially In our gov ernmental Institutions for the training of our young men along proper and ele vating lines." Gives Snrcastlo View.

When asked his opinion of the subject. the Rev. Dr. John Van Schalck, pastor of the Church of Our Father, waxed sar castic, and gave his views accordingly "Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs.

Toft have both taken rather advanced ground and often received as' friends and social equals young ladles who have earned their living," Dr. Van Schalck said. Continuing, he said: "The suggestion that some one even remotely associated with domestic service has been Invited to a "hop' at Annapolis fills me with horror. Such -nn Intrusion into the sacred precincts of that time-honored ballroom cannot but cause the blood of all patriots to seethe and boll with Indignation. The superintendent of the Academy and the Secretary of the Navy should take prompt action.

No flimsy excuse that the one referred to comes of an ancient and honored lineage can be tolerated. What needs to be dragged into the light of day Is the ugly fact that she 'tolled for a living and as a companion. "As a people wo cannot be too careful. The future officers of. the navy must be guarded from all contaminating- influences.

The unhappy day may dawn for America when a midshipman may marry a teacher of domestic science or a private secretary, and when that day comes the stars of our flag will lose their luster, the tall of the eagle drag In the dust." Dr- SamueT Woodrow, pastor of the First Congregational Church, did not mince words. "To draw'the line against Miss' Beers or any other woman of good character Is raer 'aobbery' no other word would 'ex On account of the death of Gustave Lansburgh, senior member of the firm of Lansburgh store will be closed to-day and to-morrow. LANSBURGH 420 to 426 7th St. 417 to 425 8th St. press adequately the intolerable offense," said Dr.

Woodrow. "I understand that the cadets have been In the habit of escorting to their social functions girls whose moral character was not what It should have been and that, of course, is wrong. But any woman, of Integrity and purity has as much right In the exclusive precincts of a government Institution as a queen of fashion or of leisure, and. If she tolls for an honest living, more honor Is due her for that fact. "A girl who would prefer to earn her own living Is entitled to more reverence In my opinion than one who is content to let family or friends support her and who takes an elegant ease and does nothing for the advancement of the race," Dr.

Woodrow added. "I stand for the fullest recognition of the respectable working girl everywhere In broad America," Dr. Woodrow said with much emphasis. Representative Korbly announced last night that he Intends to write another letter to Secretary Meyer asking for the facts In the case. If he falls to get a satisfactory reply, he said that he would Introduce a resolution calling for the entire official correspondence in the case.

WOULD SEGREGATE' ALL "BAD" NEWS Kev. Zed H. Copp Wants Special Editions Printed. Publication of sensational and criminal news In special editions of newspapers was the plea of Rev. Zed H.

Copp, in a sermon at 3ethany Chapel last night. The adoption by the newspapers of such a policy would, he said, prevent the contamination of youthful minds and relieve parents of the necessity of censuring a paper before allowing children to see It. He said that society segregates wrongdoers for tho benefit of Its members, but nevertheless permits that accounts of crimes, pictured in highly colored words, should come to the fireside In the dally papers. Mr. Copp announced that he would keep up the movement for the segregation of criminal news In publications by advocating his plan before the various religious organizations and civic betterment associations of the District.
