Sidelights on Mexico
Stories of What Americans in Interior Towns of Mexico
Suffered Just After Vera Cruz Was Seized Are Just
Trickling Into Washington Slowly—ls Outrages Had
Been Known at Time, There Would Have Been War.
Washington, D. C.—Stories of what
Americans in interior towns of Mexico
suffered just after Vera Cruz was
seized /ire trickling into Washington
slowly fend I haven’ t a doubt that if
all the outrages which were perpe
trated on United States citizens in
those stormy days had been known at
the time to the folks here at home our
forces would never have paused on
the seacoast.
• Ira Adler, whose home is in New
York City, has just made public a de
scription of the escape from Guadala

town after the eaputure of Vera Cruz
was impossible. After many hard
ships Mr. Adler and his companions

to San Francisco aboard a British
steamship.
Indignant.
f He is indignant at the of the Amer
ican government which, he declares,
did nothing to save the refugees from
Kjuadalajara, although Commander
.Thomas P. MacGruder allowed the
feedont of the port of Manzanillo to
Mexican vessels on condition that the
sixteen prisoners from Guadalajara be
allowed to go free. MacGruder com
jnands the cruiser Raleigh,
f “The first notice to get out came
from W. A. Davis, the American con
sul, without warning,” said Mr. Adler.
“On April 21 the second order to leave
Same and all Americans were asked
to gather in a council at the Ameri-
Scan club. There 140 decided to go at
once and did. The next day at an
other meeting more Americans were
able to make arrangements to leave
and a party of 160 was taken to Man
zanillo on a special train. This day
the Mexicans became active and
threatening. They tore down signs on
the American Consulate and other
buildings of American citizens.
Kill the Gringoes.’’
f; "The following day was worse. Cries
of ‘Kill the gringoes,' and ‘Hurrah for
Huerta and Mexico,' were heard. Led
by a band a mob appeared in the the
German Club in the evening, singing
jMexican and German airs.
■ “The populace was infuriated by
stories originating God knows where,
that many Mexican women and chil
dren had been killed in the streets of
the large cities of the United States.
I "A howling mob followed our party
t|of twelve men, two women and chil
;fdren as we went to the train. We left
there in the morning and arrived iin
HColima. We took coaches to the cen
tre of the town and tried to find a

■proprietors refused to receive us. They
declared that the mobs would burn
down their buildings If Americans
were sheltered. We finally found the

consul, told us we would be escorted
to a car at the railroad station under

The women covered their ears. The

“Tea and Coffee
are just as harmful to children as alcohol is
to grown-ups,” says Dr. Charlotte Abbey,
superintendent of the Women’s Directory,
New York.
Tne reason why coffee and tea injure is because these beverages contain the poison
ing drug, caffeine, (from to 3 grains to the cup), which physicians have long known affected the
heart, stomach and liver.
Children especially, with their delicate nerves, are susceptible to the action of caffeine, and
should never be allowed to have tea or coffee or any other beverage containing drugs.
Thousands of adults have found that their headaches, nervousness, indigestion and sleepless
ness have vanished when a change was made from coffee and tea to
POSTUM
“There’s a Reason*’
Posti(ai contains no caffeine or any other injurious substance. Made from whole wheat and a
small per cent of molasses, It Is a pure food-drink, having a delightful flavour, and containing the
nutritive values of the grain. That's why it Is good for both children and grown-ups.
Postum now comes in two forms:
Regular Postum— must be well boiled. 15c and 25c packages.
Instant Postum—a soluble powder *ade In the cup with hot water. No boiling required,
30c and 50c tins.
The cost per cup of both kinds is about the hame.
—Grocers everywhere sell POSTUM
our clothes in our hands. There were
some Red Cross nurses and soldiers in
the second car. AVe were hunddled to

“The line to Manzanillo passes
through a wide and pestilential swamp
and then across a small mountain
range. AVe were stopped in the swamp
and awaited there the parley between
the commander of the troops and Com
mander MacGruder.
“All of us, men, women and children,
were without food and drink from 4
o'clock in the morning until 5 o’clock
the next night. At last were told we
could go aboard a Mexican vessel
which was in the harbor and we were
escorted from the railroad station to
this craft. We remained from early
morning until late at night and then
were conveyed in a small boat to the
Raleigh.
“I learned later that we were allow
ed to go aborad the Raleigh because
the commander had promised to allow
two Mexican ships in the harbor to
leave unmolested.
Woman’s Story.
Mrs. Ray Morgan, who has a hacien
da near Monterey, wrote the follow
ing in her diary:
April IS. —Today a band of men rode
into our hacienda. AVe knew by the
yucca leaves in their hats that they
were Carranzistas. By 2 o’clock sev
eral hundred were in the ranch, get
ting food and clothing and taking all
the horses. The officer in charge used
our car. to which Ben Van A’oorhis
stuck as chauffeur This was the ad
vance guard of 2,000 men under Gen.
Gonzales, who comes a second time to
take Monterey. With him are Gens.
Gastro and A’illareal.
Our telephone was cut at once, but
the troops had been seen from Obis
pado, for presently we saw a cloud of
dust over the Topo Chico Hill, annd
soon made out 200 Federal cavalry
through the glass. The rebels rode
away from our ‘ buildings, loitering
back and forth to draw’ the fire of the
Federals, which they soon succeeded
in doing. AVe fled to our mattress
forts with the baby and the servants
as the Federal came into the ranch.
The fight was so close w r e could hear
the bullets sing. It lasted twenty
minutes, the shooting being incessant.
Then, suddenly there was a wild shout
and the sound of pursuit, which told
us the rebels had won
Presently they brought in two pris
oners, and officer and a private, whose
horses had beenn killed. They were
the first bound men T had seen The
federals lost thirty-nine dead, the re
bels but two wounded. The boy of
ficer had been crazy to venture up
with but eight men.
Gen. Gonzales.
Sunday, April 19. —Gen Gonzales is
here this morning. He gave us a re
ceipt for everything taken. All the
horses are gone, some of the best mules
and the store is cleaned out. Nobody
enters our house. A young American
gunner fighting with the rebels sa
luted “Old Glory,” which flies from our
roof, so we had him in for a moment.
A nice boy, but a little too important.
We slept well, and so did our tired
visitors. We had a pit dug in the pan
try In case of more fighting.
Try to picture our little bungalow
in its gorgeous plot of flowers and
pretty lawn, looking as gay as you
please, and Old Glory flaunting its
beauty. The Union Jack is whipping
the wind at the office, and red, white
and green banners wave down the
brown line of the road. I've been herd
ing my chicks through the flower
garden.
I wish I could forget that young of
ficer boy as he passed with bound
hands. I am sorry to say they execu
ted him at our gates as he said: “Live
the supreme Government!”
No More Mutilations.
Thank Heaven, there are no more
mutilations to record. The young of
ficer was a mere cadet. It is the Fed
eral custom to send out for these
first engagements some madcap boy
with raw troops. The really import
ant men are kept for the final glory,
If possible. It appears when the Fed
erals came yesterday they ordered all
our people out of thetr quarters and
finding one family hidden they drag-
ged them out by this boy’s orders and
were about to kill them when the
fight began. The boy’s horse was
killed and so he was captured.
The burial of this poor boy was a
very characteristic scene, AVe have
been sitting ono the porch watching
the group. They buried him just out
side the gate, his body covered with
fresh cut barley. Two buzzards swept
low till their wings almost touched
the barley, just to make sure they
were not deceived.
LETTEHS FROM THE PEOPLE
ABOUT HUMANE EDUCATION.
To the Editor of The Herald.
I am glad to announce to the pub
lic a growing interest in humane edu
cation. As I have been giving my
time without compensation 1 thought
others might contribute for literature
and generously our friends are re
sponding. AVe had printed in one ot
our local offices 500 copies of the
Ten Commandments for House Own
ers and made a SIO.OO order from
Boston, Mass., for humane literature.
Nothing like sowing tho land with
literature. There is such dense ig
norance upon the part of so many
good people as to how to treat ani
mals.
In reading Beautiful Joe, I was im
pressed with the paragraph: “I have
made a study of horses —Joe. Over
lorty years I've studied them, and Its
my opinion that the average horse
knows more than the average man,
that drives him. AVheu I think of
the stupid fad® that are goading pa
tient horses about, and beating them
and misunderstanding them, and
thinking they are only clods of earth
with a little life in them. I’d like to
take their horses out of the shafts
and harness them in and I'd trot
them off at a pace, and slash them,
a,nd jerk them, till 1 guess they’d
come out with a little less patience
than the animal does.”
Any one desiring humane leaflets
or humane books to read can find
them at 1035 Broad in the office of
S. C. DAVIS, M. D.,
Secty. A. H. E. Society.
N. B. —It will be interesting for all
humane people to know that this or
ganization is in the M. & M Contest.
We want the SI,OOO for a Humane
Farm, and need your cooperation.
0. P. COX COMMITTED
SUICIDE AT ROWESVILLE
Row-esville, S. C. —Mr. O. P. Cox
committed suicide here Friday morn
ing about day light. Mr. Cox has been
in bad health for several years anl
for the past few months he has been
in bed. He spent several weeks at
the hospital and apparently was im
proved when he returned and for the
past two weeks he was able to be
up and about. Consequently, his
death was quite a shock to the com
munity. Mr. Cox was a good man,
and highly respected by all who knew
hlim. He leaves a wife and five chil
dren, besides a host of relatives and
friends, ivho mourn bis loss. Mr.
Cox was buried Saturday at eleven
o’clock in the New Hope Cemetery.
OLD LADIES’ TANGO TEA.
Atlanta, Ga. —The hold that the
tango, the trot and the hesitation
have on Atlanta has been given a new
proof. For many months the married
set, including portly dames who for
years hadn't walked a block, have
been dancing tile new steps, but this
week a genuine surprise has been
sprung. The 28 inmates of the Old
Women's Home are learning the hes
itation.
There is to be a celebration of the
ninth anniversary at the home next
Friday, and the old ladies' manager
planned a bit of dancing.
“We will have a real Virginia
reel,” she said.
“Indeed, we will not,” replied the
old ladles, with one voice.“ We’ll have
the new steps everybody is talking
about,” So they got some tango re
cords for their phonograph and now
the whole 28 —and most of them are
iti their eighties—are practicing for
a real tango tea next Friday.
WOULD HELP OTHERS’ EARS.
"She has a splendid ear for music,”
remarked the old fogy.
“Has she?” returned the grouch.
■‘Well, it is too bad she can't play
with her ear.”—Cincinnati Enquirer.

NATION'S MIS.
YEARLY MEET
65 th Annual Convention of
American Medical Association
Opens at Atlantic City.
Atlantic City, N. J.—Wrestling: with
the world-wide problem of public health
is to be undertaken with renewed vigor
by The American Medical Association.
This broader aspect of public health
Conservation was dominant over the ease
of the individual at the opening here to
day of the sixty-fifth annual meeting: of
the association.
Today’s session was that of the House
of Delegates, the IcglH’attve body of the
association, which now represents a
membership of 41.020, as the secretary
reported. The treasurer's report shows
a balance of over $1 10.0-00. Among tlie
expenditures for the year were SIS,4GS
for education of tie public, and over
SIO,OOO “for propaganda against frauds
and fakes.”
The report of tho Council on Health
and Public Instruction outlined a com
prehensive program for extending the
study of the public health. The plans
are for a thorough investigation of pub
lic health conditions in the United States,
with thegathering of more reliable data;
tlie education of the public “by every
possible means;” and “the crystallizing
of public sentiment in securing necessary
public health laws, regulations and or
dinances which will render possible a
conservation of human life commensu
rate with our advanclmr knowledge.”
Decide to Walt.
At its last convention the association
pledged itself to support “such a public
health program as IVesident Wilson
might decide to recommend.” The Coun
cil reported this year: “As existing con
ditions make it clearly impossible for tho
president to take up this matter at pres
ent. it seems advisable to wait until tho
administration is prepared to make defi
nite recommendations on tills subject.”
The Council on Medical Education pre
sented its tenth annual report showing
that in 1904, when tho Council was
Created, there were 160 medical colleges
in the United St lies, manv of which
were organized and conducted on n pure
ly commercial basis; that, due largely to
the Council, the number of colleges has
been reduced to about 100, and that,
whereas in 1900, there were only four
medical colleges having a high standard
of entrance requirements, there are now
82 colleges which require one or more
years of college work in addition to a
standard four years’ high school course
as condition for entrance. A striking
feature has been that in many cities in
which a number of weak medical schools
existed, they have through merger and
absorption been combined to form one
strong and well equipped institution.
To the South.
The Council pays a tvihute to the med
ical colleges of the South for the re*
markable manner in which they have
grappled with the problems of medical
education In that part of the country.
Although working under greater ob
stacles than elsewhere, they have been
gradually overcoming their difficulties.
In 1907, the Southern section of the
country had 41 medical colleges in which
17. re* 41.5 per cent., could be rated in
class “A.”
For the first time, provision has
made for a careful investigation of post
graduate medical schools of the country.
It is a new line of work which the Coun
cil has not heretofore undertaken.
The committee to consider the move
ment. to commemorate the completion
of the Panama Canal recommended that
a monument he erected to he financed by
the American Medical Association, lo
cated on tlie Canal Zone, at a point to
be chosen by the secretary of waT: this
monument to becommemoratlve of tin*
contribution of the American Medical
Association to preventive medicine and
sanitary science.
THU! SALLIE
‘SALARY LIMIT’
Below is a Clipping From an
Albany Newspaper in Regard
To the Shaw Proposition.
Following is a dipping from the Al
bany Herald in reference to the Shaw
proposition in Augusta:
The ruling in the South Atlantic
I.eague (which, by the way, has never
been a printed ruling) that no player
who drew more than $l5O in any other
league last season could play in thl.i
league this season, was given an awful
jolt yesterday by Secretary Farrell of
the National Commission of Minor
Baseball Leagues, when he decided
that Hhaw, of Augusta, who was ruled
out just before the Savannah series,
was eligible to play and that I’resl
dent Corish had no grounds to rule
him or any other player out on the
grounds of the higher salary propo
aition, as long as he is now willing to
play for $l5O.
The $l5O proposition has been a
known rule in the league for two or
three yetiTs, or rather as an agree
ment, so as to make dubs adhere to
the salary limit and keep young play
ers in the circuit. There has been
much talk around the circuit by play
ers that the rule would not and could
not stick if ever carried to the na
tional rommlsion, and when President
Kalbfieisch, of the Augusta club, took
it to the baseball tribunal f'orlsh’a
decision and ruling were reversed, and
Augusta has now protested the three
games with Savannah in which Shaw
vas not allowed to play.
GEORGIA’S NEW TAX LAW

state tax eommihtsloner, has given
out a statement in which he do
Clares the new tax equalization law

to plant one acre.
It takes 1,650 pounds of seed cot
ton to make a bale of 500 pounds lint,
and 1,150 pounds of cotton seed.
Tlie seed from a bale of cotton will
yield 17 gallons of oil, 350 pounds of

pounds of linterß.
Three fourths of the Texas cotton
crop Is sold in Europe.
Texas has 26 per cent pT all the

SCHOOLHOUSE
It is going rather too strong when
Mr Chas. G. Armstrong, a consult
lug engineer who made, an examina
tion of public school buildings for a
committee, says in Fire Prevention
for March that every public school in
New York is a fire-trap. It might bo
quite within hounds to say that none
of them is entirely as 11. should lie,
that the older ones are really bad,
and that even the newest contain
combustible fittings which ought, not
to have been placed there. For this,
especially as to the newer buildings,
the contusion which has to this day
prevented adoption of a real and
workable building code may be chief
ly blamed. Over-statement and over
sweeping generalization are hinder
