In the earls days of the Diaz administration he went to Sonora. where he became ider- tified with the fiscal guards. Tn this frontier service his bravery and good judgment won him repeated promo tions. and at last he was placed in command of the frontier forces of the government in the states of Sonora and Chihuahua. From this command he was called. sixteen years ago to become governor of Chihuahua. and during the twelve years of his admin istration in that state yTclazrful pro- gress wes mace.
 In November. 1902. Col. Ahumala was elected governor of Jalisco. and he was inaugurated for the first term of four years on March l. 1903. The history of Jalisco since he took charge of state affairs has been one of steady and rapid advancement Early in his first administration he
 
 the result that more than 200 addi- tionai schools have been established and the educational appropriation in- creased to more than one-half million dollars a year A policy of liberal con- ceSsions and wide reforms has result ed in turning the tide Of foreign in- vestment in this direction and today the possibilities of Jalisco are attract ing more attention than those of any other state in the Mexican union By clever business management Gov. Ahumada secured for the state the sum of s4O0,000 in return for the con cession of electric street traction in Guadalajara. and this money will be spent exclusively for public improve ments. In the last two years asphalt pavement to the extent of 50,n00 square meters has been laid in this city. and work now in progress will result in nearly doubling the asphalt ed area. It is the governors inten- tion to continue the paving work each year. In the fiscal year 19G5-06 the property transfers in this state reach ed a value of $50. .000,0 900, an increase of s1e,0o0.000 compared with the ore ceding fiscal year. The percentage Of increase in mercantile business was as great.
 While Gov Ahumada's name is used in connection with cabinet positions. it Is regarded as certain that he will remain here at least until the end of the term on which he is now entering. The next few years will seen tremend- ous development in Jalisco. and a pro- grassiye man like Ahumada is needed at the head of affairs.

DISCUSSED BY DUMA
Alleged Brutal Torture Of Pris-
oners by Russian Officials.
PR0L 0NGED FOR MANY DAYS
Evidence That the Victims Were
Beaten by Cossacks' Whips and Rub
ber Rods and Their Finger Nails
and Hair Pulled Out. gal5

st. Petersburg, April 24.-The inter-
pellation Of the government in the
lower house Of parliament April Is on
the subject of the mutiny in the prison
at Riga April 1S when seven mutineers
were killed and twelve wounded and
which developed into an investigation
Of the charges brought against the
prison authorities that they had tor
tured prisoners in order to obtain con-
fessions, which was alleged to be the
cause Of the mutiny, was the subject
of a debate in the lower house of par
lament. M. Pergament, Constitutional
Democrat and a prominent lawyer Of
Kherson, read the reports Of the in
terpellation committee, which con-
tanned details of the seventy cases Of
alleged torture, in which the names of
the victims were given. It was stated
that they were beaten with Cossacks'
whips and rubber rods and that their
finger nails and hair were pulled out.
The tortures in some cases we're pro-
1Onged for from eight to ten days. One
man, who was only twenty-five years
old, looked like an old man after hav-
Ing been tortured. -
The report added that it was diff
cult to determine exactly the number
Of victims, but it could safely be as
sumed that all who we're sentenced by
drumhead courtmartial or who over
powered the prison officers at Riga
April 13 passed through the torture
chamber.

There have been several changes in the
makeup Of the Georgetown varsity and

as varsity stroke. Dowd is wiry and is
always in perfect condition, his weight
alone keeping him out Of the varsity

veterans. however, returned yesterday,
and the varsity eight was sent over the

first time this season. the Henley crew
rowing against il for the first two miles.
and the Georgetown preps picking up the
varsity for the remainder Of the distance.
Alvin Tighe is now str0king the Henley
boat. and the junior eight is more than
holding its own. as compared with former
Georgetown junior crews. GlenB0n. an
other football man. is doing well on the
port side. and together with Reilly, OF
the junior class crew. seems sure of re-
tanning positions from the lighter and
more experienced men.
