HARDWICK WILL
BE ANTI PBOHI
Representative Says That He
Wants Congress to Meet the
Question Squarely.
Washington, D. C. —Returning from
Georgia to attend an Important session
of the rules committee of which he la
a member, and to urge the adoption of
a special rule for the consideration of
nation-wide prohibition at this session,
Congressman Thomas W. Hardwick let
ft be known today that he would op
pose the proposed legislation on its
merits. The rule, committee will con
sider the questio nos a special rule this
afternoon.
“7 think the congress of the United
.States should meet th's question of na
tion-wide prohibition fairly and square -
I ly," said Mr. Hardwick, "I do not think
the Democratic party should counte
i nance delay. For my part lam willing
that my constituents who sent me to
congress and the people of Georgia
whose support I am asking In my sena-
I torlal canvass shall know where I stand
on this question. T shall favor a spe
cial rule for the consideration of the
Hobson resolution at this session of con
gress, and I hope the other members of
the rules committee will Join me in my
efforts to bring up the question on its
merits.”
The congressman will, it may be stated
positively, oppose the prohibition amend
ment, on Its merits, If a special rule for
Its consideration by the house is pro
vided. He may be relied upon to take
an active hand in the fight against the
proposal to submit a constitutional
amendment prohibiting the manufacture,
sale or importation of spirituous or
malt liquors In the United States.
Mr. Hardwick, whose Democracy has
never been challenged, considers the
question of prohibition a matter for the
several states, and regards the Hobson
proposal as an Infringement on the Dem
ooratlc doctrine of state rights He does
not believe that the federal Constitution
should be amended In a way to deprive
the several states of their right to rgu
lat and to control thier Internal affairs.

SIDELIGHTS ON MEXICO
The Story of Martinez, “King of the Snipers,” One of
the Underhand Fighters Who Picked Off Good Ameri
cans for Two Days After the Landing at Vera Cruz.
By A Veteran.
Washington, D. C. —While the me
diators mediated at Niagar Falls
Huerta went merrily on granting con
cessions in Mexico City, I learn. I
would scarce dare to appraise the val
ues of these concessions, but conces
sionaires seem easy to find and per
fectly willing to sign contracts for
tens of years. One can only guess at
the unwritten sections of the contracts
trade by the dictator.
For instance, two concessions have
Just been granted for the exploitation
of the pearl industry. One of these
went to Manuel Romo for the Isla An
gel de la Guarda, off the western coast,
the other to Carlos Agtiila for the west
zone embraced between Puerto Angel,
Ouxaza and San Benito, Chlpas.
The terms provide for the breeding
and exploitation of pearl shells, moth
er of pearl shells and pearl abulon
shells. The concessionaires are oblig
ed to pay the government $66.80 for
every thousand of pearl shells, $20.00
for every thousand of pearl abulon
shells and $lO for every thousand of
mother of pearl shells produced. The
contracts run ten years.
There are many clauses assuming to
protect the government and also the
natural resources. The pear shells
must measure at least eighteen cen
timeters In diameter and the mother
of pearl and nacar must have passed
their second spawning. It is strictly
prohibited to exploit the breeding
grounds of the pearls.
The concessionaires are obliged to
establish artificial beds for the breed
ing of the pearls, with all the neces
sary conditions, such as rocks, gravel
and other matter, forming at least ten
hectares annually. At the end of ten
years these beds and all Improvements
revert to the government.
This Is the story of Martinez, so
called “king of the snipers." one of the
underhand fighters who picked off
good American sailors and marines
for two da>*s after we had seized Vera
Cruz.
Martinez was a Mexican who had
fled before Villa from his vast cotton
plantations In the Torreon district
and had gone to Vera Cruz with his
American wife. All through the win
ter they were frequently guests
aboard United States warships in the
harbor.
His house was on the same street
as the t'nlted States consulate, where
fighting was hot the first day. On
the second day when the Americans
advanced through the entire town and
held It, sniping continued In many
sections especially In the block In
which Martinez’s house was situated.
Owing to the fact that the snipers used
smokeless powder and kept them
selves well hidden It was next to im
possible to discover them.
Ourlng the afternoon of Wednesday
Martinez came along the block, where
a party of marines had been stationed
In an effort to locate the snipers. He
was warned by Col Neville of the Ma
rine Corps, not to go Into his house, as
It was strongly suspected that snipers
wore located there
Martinez professed his regret at
,such a suspicion, asserting his strong

admiration and friendship for the
Americans, and said he was sure no
one could be using his house for such
a purpose. He was finally allowed to
enter his house.
Subsequently it was noted that ev
ery time Col. Neville exposed himself
In the street a shot would come from
near by. It was obvious some one was
trying to “get" the marine officer.
Col. Neville finally mounted the bal
cony of the American consulate and
began watching the roofs and windows
of the houses up the street throug a
pair of field glasses. He saw Martinez
sitting in his balcony with a newspa
per spread out on his lap and smoking
a cigarette, apparently watching the
proceedings.
As he watched him the Colonel saw
to his amazement Martinez quickly
pull an automatic revolver from tinder
the newspaper in his lap and fire a
shot, restoring the weapon to Its hid
ing place under the newspaper with
lightning speed. Calling a marine,
Col. Neville pointed out the man on the
balcony and said bluntly: “Get him."
The marine fired and Martinez fell
off his chair. He was wounded In the
stomach. He was removed to another
house by a Mexican doctor and his
wound dressed. The next day, appar
ently not satisfied with what the
Mexican surgeon had done for him,
he sent for Dr. M. S. Elliott, U. S. N.,
a personal friend, who has been in
charge of the shore hospital. Dr. El
liott dressed the wound again, but
Martinez died
His American wife was at the time
on hoard the American refugee ship
Esperanza. She was told that her
husband had been forced upon the
balcony by snipers and shot by them.
Most readers of American newspa
pers are probably unaware that in
theory the Mexican government is not
only as good as our own but Is pat
terned very closely after It. Remem
ber I say In theory.
Mexlcoo. is. like the United States,
a Federal Republic with executive
powers centralized. There are 27
states. 3 territories and a Federal Dis
trict. the latter on the anology of our
District of Columbia.
The central government has three
co-ordinate branches—executive, leg
islative and Judicial —each nominally
independent of the other. The presi
dent. vice president and cabinet of
eight compose the executive branch.
The cabinet officers are the secretar
ies of foreign affairs, Interior, justice,
public instruction and fine arts; fuel,
colonization, and industry; communi
cations and public works; finance and
public credit and war and marine.
There are many other analogies—ln
