WEDNESDAY, JUNE 17. First Chief of the Constitutionalists VENUSTIANO CARRANZA Tin pictures show the fi st chief of the Constitutionalists as he appears in the field. Above is seen a camp in# the shadow of a freight tr in. The diners are some of them sitting on a bale of fodder as thev devour the con tents of the pots. others stand about with pieces of food in their hands. General Carranza is the soldierly figure in the centre, with the long “paint brush” beard. Below he is seen again on horseback. Carranza is fifty-five years' old, a lawyer turned ranchman on account cf poor eyes, a learned man and at the same time a forceful character. He wns the prime inspiration of Francisco Madero, tlie murdered Mexican president. By recent events Carranza has put a quietus on rumors that he might be superseded by Villa. Villa, however, never had failed to announce his loyalty to the first chief. Carranza was the first man to proclaim against Huevta and he has gathered to his standard hundreds of rebel bands, turning guerrilla waifare into regular revolution and setting tip a government. His view is that the government of Madero continues on his own and that Huerta has never been president of Mexico. USELESS DUPLICATION.

Carranza , Man of the Hour in Mexico First Chief of the Constitutionalists and Perhaps Soon de Facto President of Mexico—He Comes of Fighting- Stock. His Father Was a Commander in the Warfare Which Ended in Execution of Emperor Maximillian. Wa*«.ington, D. C. —If Venustlano Pino Carranza, first chief of the constitution allsts and perhaps soon de {acto presi dent of Mexico, were to put on strictly American dress and walk down the promenade of an American city no one meeting him would take him for a Mexi can or Spaniard. He is ruddy, but not swarthy, rugged of .face rather than fiery, full bearded in the manner of many American physicians aged in the fifties or sixties. Behind spectacles which tell of near-sightedness shine grey eyes. An Angls-Saxsn grandfather from head to foot. But one must remember the Germanic hordes which poured upon the fertile fields of Spain in the middle ages. The fierce Goth is mirrored in Carranza. He is a Mexican nf pure Spanish descent, but drawn from a race which entered Spain about the time the Angles and Saxe ns reached England. Carranza’s instincts, nevertheless, are anti-Anglo-Saxon. His position to In tervention has been f rm and defiant. To understand tills man whose shadow' lengthens in the land of Mexico every day it is necessary tc understand his life of constant struggle towards a goal he now believes almost within reach. Not Realized. It is not generally realized that Car ranza was the intellectual god-father of Francisco Madero. Now' fifty-five years of age. he w’as much older than the mar tyred president. Madero was of the top most circle of Mexican aristocracy, with enormous wealth. Carranza was a ranch er of moderate estate. The first chief came of fighting stock. His father was a commander in the warfare which end ed in the execution of the Empero Maximilian. Around his father’s board be heard words which might have mean death if uttered in public. As a younc man he became strongly impressed wit' the wrongs of the peon. He studied law in Coahuila. the state where he was born, and in Mexico City. But h s poor eyes drove him back to the ranch. In combination ;>f intellectual life and out-of-doors existence, it has been re marked. he closely resembles Theodore Roosevelt. Twice Candidate, Twice he boldly offered himself at the polls as a candidate for governorship of Coahuila against a man backed by Pro- Uric Diaz. Diaz sent envoys to warn, and even threaten him, but wns afraid to order his death on account of the loy alty of the people to the scholarly ranch er. Of course, the Diaz candidate won in a walkover with the polling places filled with soldiers. But the brave stand of Carranza had interested the young aristocrat, Francisco Madero. He put up money for Carranza’s second guber natorial contest. He sat at the feet Carranza and drank in his discourses on the robbery of the peons’ lands. It was the opening of his eyes by Carranza which caused Madero to head his suc cessful revolt which placed him in short lived possession of the National Palace. “Senator Carranza’s independence and his high ideals in politics.” Madero once said, "caused me to support him in his campaign for the governorship. I made speeches for him and contributed to the expenses of ids campaign. The people wanted him for governor, hut lie was counted out. I saw then what the Diaz system meant. I had taken no active interest in politics up to that time, but ihen I realized that we could have no real self government so long as the Diaz machine, or any other machine with the same purposes, was permitted to per petuate itself. From that defeat of Car ranza we went on to tfie national con vention and the organization of the movement against Dlaz.“ Refused Title. Carranza refused the title nf General under Madero, and he led ills men with out a regular rank. He is not a soldier by train ng, except the training of ac tual hostilities. He was secretary of state in the provisional government of Madero. for a time, but declined a cab inet office later. He had spent many years in Mexico City as a senator and knew what ts graft-infested atmosphere meant. On Madero’s success, however, Car i ranza stood a third time for governor of j Coahuila and was unanimously elected. Tills was in 1911. Madcft*o had scarcely fallen when his i preceptor raised the standard of revolt. Governor Carranza was the first leader to declare against Huerta. He gathered I 10,000 men at Monclova and issued his j famous declaration principles, a tlme ; honored paVt of the inauguration of any I hat ini American revolt. His battle cry has been “give the land back to the people.” Yet he would pursue more or derly and lawful methods than the rougher Francisco Villa. Is 9 ern. Carranza is a stern, uncompromising character, with the simple habits of the sollcitary frontiersman. He is a total abstainer from liquor arid tobacco and < rises at 5 o’clock every morning of his | life. His six feet figure is most com ! mandlng. tie Is a type that naturally dominates. The one side of his nature which is hard for Americans to under stand is his cruelty in warfare. While not so ruthless as Villa and Zapata, he Is wont to prefer the shooting squad as a punishment for minor offences. There was Carlos Plan, a young mountaineer, who joined Carranza about the time of his declaration against Huerta. Piza harassed the enemy unceasingly with his little band and did great service to the constitutionalist cause. But In Mexican style lie looted the villages through which he passed. CaiYanza himself is given to extorting immense sums from wealthy Clentificos, but he was seeking to free his ranks from the charge of brigandage. Ho when it was found that young Piza had brought In 500 pesos from a certain village he was ordered to rettirn the money. Tills he failed to do. Further he grumbled and suggest ed to his followers that they bike to the bush. Such conduct meant the end of discipline. General Carranza order ed the young man shot. Kven after he wns stood up against the adobe wall and the firing squad of twelve lined oppo site. an appeal was sent to the first chief. The messenger brought hack the command, “la Muerta/* and the rifles spoke. Sympathetic Letter. A few hours late* the chieftain wrote a sympathetic letter to the mother of the boy announcing his death and ex pressing grief at the necessity. “We shall,” he onee calmly announced, “execute anybody who recognizes a president unconstitutionally elected and directly or indirectly guilty of participa tion in the murder of Madero.” Carranza is the most re««Tved of the Mexican leaders. His personal attend -1 ants co-operate with him to keen an- I noylng questioners awav. Yet fie lias long endured the hardships of the field and proved himself a hardy specimen of middle age. Lawt autumn he made a. 1,300 mile Journey on horseback and muleback along mountain trails through Nuevo Leon, Coahuila Durango, ChTl i iiuahua, Cinalna and Sonora, with the i danger of an ambush confronting him at every turning. His lack of fear Is fa | tallstic, his friends say. His military I secretary, Captain Hsplnosa Mlreles, rs ' '-ently declared. “He believes, like Na | poleon, that the bullet which will kill ; him lias not yet been moulded.'* Type of Man.

TELLS OF RiVER OF DOUBT The Colonel Addresses a Pack ed Audience a>-Royal Geo graphical Society's Lecture, London.—Col. Theodore Roosevelt ap p.iarcd before the Royal Geographical .society last night to tell how he put the JMvida river’’ on the map of Brazil. l lie society’s theatre in Burlington inrdens was packed. Those anxious to 11 ear the former president would have til ud the largest hall in london. but he preferred a small auditorium where an intimate talk would be possible. The tlirentre seats only 700, but the society issued m.vre than a thousand cards. The result was close crowding, while two or three hundred, including many promi nent people, were unable to get in. The 1 iors were closed and signs ‘‘Theatre Full” were posted half an hour bet ore the colonel arrived. The police had plenty to do in keeping back disappointed men and women who waved their cards and shouted their names and claims for consideration. Tlie street was blocked with automo biles and an hour after the lecture be gan. silk-hatted groups continued fre quent rushes, like a football line, upon the barred doors. The colonel waved his hand when h% alighted from his motor but the crowd was too decorous l'or cheering. Hearty applause, however, greeted his appear ance on the stage. The lecture was mainly a repetition of that delivered at Washington in May. A cool bungalow on Monte Sano for sale, cheap. Phone 75-W between 7 and 10 this evening.
