Officers Assume Disguise.


Finally the Governor of Durango
became desperate over the affair and
called three OF the besr r,rrales in his
service and told them to go and bring
in the dead bodies OF the robbers
The officers armed themselves TO the
teeth. and in disguise went to the sec
tion where the robbers were last seen
After considerable maneuvering the
gang was located not far from little
mountain ranch. After much firing OF
guns and pistols they suddenly began
TO retreat in the direction where
they knew FL Jorobado and his men
were in waiting.
During their retreat they kept up
constant firing, running from tree It
tree as il pursued by officers OF the
law. Suddenly, as they had antici-
pated, they were met in the rear by
rhe real robbers, who at once de-
manded their surrender, but the dis
guised rurales made the plea that
they belonged to the same class of
people, ard invited them to help in
their defense against the Officers"
who were on their trail. Upon in
vestigation it was found these off

Thus the two bands joined forces
"El Jorobado" and his men were
suspicious, however, and one of them
was always stationed to watch al
night 1t was not until the fifth night
that he and all his men were caught
asleep at the same time The three
rurales then opened fire on them and
never ceased to fire until all their
bodies were filled with lead
The captors then stole the horses
that had belonged to the bandits
strapped the dead bodies across them
and after two days journey reached
the city of Durango. The bodies

READY WITH FARM DATA.
Country Life Investigators Finish
Months Trip and will Place Con-
illusions Before President.

That there are problems and diff

country to the other. the solution of
which they are going to demand, was
the declaration of L. H. Bailey, chair.
man of the Country Life Commits
sion, who, with four members of tina,
body, arrived at Washington, Mon
day to prepare their conclusions for
presentation to President Roosevelt.
The first meeting of the commits
sion to consider ITS report was held
Monday. Since the commission began
its trip on Nov Z, last through every
state and territory, concluding dts trip
Dec. Is, voluminous amount of data
and other information has been col
lected The commission expects to
have the report in the hands of the
President the latter part of the
month.
Commission Well Received
After declaring the commission
was everywhere received with the
greatest cordiahty, especially in the
West, Prof Bailey stated the COM
mission felt there were many import
ant questions of concern to the farm
err winch the President and Congress
ought to understand
Everywhere there are serious eco
nomic questions along the lines of
distribution, marketing and the lack
of efficient cooperation among the
farmers" eaid Prof. Bailey. Farmers
are In need of organization, and more
particularly of social organization.
We found, for example, where farm.
ing is prosperous, the social condi-
tons may not be good. Great en-
phasis has been placed on the def
ciencies in schools and of better high
ways"

AVENGE DEATH
OF ARGOS MAN
MEXICAN BANDITS WHO MUIR
DERED H. S. JONES ARE
SLAIN IN SLEEP.
Rurales Joined Band and Catch
Them OFF Their Guard on the
Fifth Night.

A dispatch from Washington dated
Tuesday says: The State Depart
ment today received from David E.
Thompson, American ambassador at
Mexican CITY, a thrilling account of
the murder of H. S. Jones of Argos,
Ind, by bandits in Mexico and the
swift vengeance melted out TO his
slayers. Jones was killed last May,
but the circumstances of his death
have been shrouded in mystery.
1t develops from the complete re-
port sent in by Mr.. Thompson that
the matter has been subject of ne
gotiations between the ambassador
and President Diaz, and thar the lat
ter personally showed such interest
in seeing that justice was done as to
forestall any claim the United States
Government might make against the
Mexican government for indemnity
on account of the assassination of
the Indiana man.
According to the ambassador re
port rle body OF Jones, who resided
on the San Idnaceo ranch in the Ser
ra Madre State OF Durango was
found in the park of his ranch. The
notorious bandit Rodriguez, known
as "El Jorobado," and his gang were
supposed to be guilty of his murder
and police and rurales were at ,once
set on their trail.
The bandits, after killing Jones
had threatened Mrs. Jones, VINO lived
with her husband in their mountain
home with several children. She
complied with their demands to turn
over to them all tine arms and am
munition in the house and then
sought safety in the adjoining woods
For months the search for the ban
dts continued. Frequently the
searching party was close 10 them

THE SCHOOL OF HUGHES.

Tottering and groggy the New York republican machine is wandering to- wards it's corner The work Of Cover nor Hughes in educating the voters, of that state in the mysteries of selfish political leadership Is telling He win be renominatcd as he should be, and elected as he should be. because the people willed 1t and not because the bosses wished 1t.
 iSot in quarter of century has the Empire state been aroused to It's pres ent Ditch of profound determination. The voters there, speaking of them as constituting the majority, have never liked to be bossed Americans don't like to be bossed in any state. Their hunt has been steadily for the man who was willing to fight the bosses with the people behind him. And so far as the voters of the state of New York are concerned, 1t is the height of irony that the leader they wanted and have got was originally selected by the machine to take advantage of the awakened conscience of the people as result of the insurance disclosures Had the machine read him more in- telligently 1t would never have nom, mated him. It should have known of the unlikellhood of it's bending him to its will. With the New York machine the insurance disclosures was means to an end. With Governor Hughes the insurance disclosures was the justif- cation for bigger movement to up lift the whole political atmosphere of that commonwealth,
 New York has had Croker school of politics and Platt school of poll tics; 1t has a Woodruff school of poll tics and 1t has Murphy school of politics Now 1t has to meet a Hughes school of politics supported by Presi- dent Roosevelt and Judge Taft. Its philosophy Is expressed in these words by Governor Hughes: Popular rule means that we shall not have govern ment by favor, but government by justice. The executive must do what he honestly believes is right and not what some one else wants him to do. All interests must be conserved and guarded, the interests of agriculture as well as the interests of labor. The theory should be to put the men in off, flee who will look after all the inter ests and not sacrifice the state for anyone's comfort. In other words we must follow the old standard There Is no business which can stand im- proper favoritism But every business can stand justice and a whole lot of it. The people want partisans, but they want partlsans who are such for the best interests of the state and not for their own"
 It is absolutely impossible for a po- litical machine to last long in opposi- ton to such sound philosophy The evil which low down machine does is not the result of the alleged greater power of the evil-doer. It can be direct

EAST CHAPEL TREES,

As cities grow and the encroachments of brick. stone and cement in many forms slowly but surely crowd out ev. cry growth of nature and every leaf of green, and as the handsome shade trees begin to disappear one by one, first in the business sections and then in the residential parts. there comes a greater appreciation of those trees that arc still left and a stronger desire that they may not be impaired To nse homely example, 1t Is much the sasne as with Q man who, along to- ward middle life, when his Sampson

(Ansonia ,SentInel.l

Mir Lilley is looking for vindication, and Connecticut republicans are per he should have sought 1t In another term as congressman-a at large, and not as governor of Connecticut. When he Is rendered the nomination by the republican leaders to- day, he would do well to pass 1t back as not theirs to give by right. He should release them from their promise, made a year and a half ago, and in the interests of the republican party of Connecticut, should refuse to further arouse the resentment of independent voters. From the kind of political manipulation which this state Is now witnessing, self-respecting men shrink.

side, roots and all, begins to realize how much he wants to keep his hair, Quite generally then it is too late for him to make things better, Quite gem orally the city finds it begins too late to try to save It's trees,
 There are enough trees in our cities that are lost through the agencies of old age, of encroachments that take their light and keep the water from their roots, and of the thousand and one pests and afllictions that seem to hesiege trees, to think lightly of wil- fully felling perfectly healthy and beautiful trees. New Haven's reputa- ton as a city of shade trees is too en- viable to impair it. unless that is ab- solutely necessary, Especially is the sentimental loss to nearoy residents to be carefully considered whenever such a move is made. Their material flnan- cial loss, too, due to the deterioration of property values whenever the sur roundings are made less pleasing be- cause of the loss of the trees, Is not to be sighted,
 For many reasons the widening of East Chapel street, which has been going on for some days, is commend able. Adequate access co the boathouse bridge Is today very circultous and un- satisfactory. Any change in the phy- sieal layout of the streets that lead to the bridge Is to be welcomed The part of the city that lies beyond, over 10 the east, has a future before it. For that reason the section deserves 10 be made as accessible as Is possible. Thus there are two distinct sides to the problem which Henry L. Hotchkiss has brought up by obtaining an injunction from the superior court to prevent the city from feliing two beautiful shade trees on East Chapel street in front of the property of the estate of the late Elizabeth D. Hotchkiss, at the cor ner of Brewery street, of which Mir Hotchklss is trustee. From an aesthet- ic viewpoint his argument Is not diff cult to see.
 As for the law of the matter, ht claims that the permanent commission has ordered these particular trees down because they interfere with tn, widening of the street He says tht board of aldermen has the sole right t' lay out or change new or old stree corners. The fact that like remon strances from other nearby residenti may be expected but adds emphk sis tt Mir. Hotchkiss argument. Every love- of New Haven, every believer in fai play must wish proper airing of thu problem in court IL would be regretta
 ble to prevent commendable widen ing of the street It would also be re grettabe to lose the trees It is the olt ! problem of nature against the dolla
 and usually the latter wins. howeve
 much 1t may be lamented.

REAL FLYING.

Some weeks ago the public read m the papers of a corporation formed with millions Of dollars of capital to establish practical line of passenger and freight "air-packets," us they were called, between New York and Bos- ton. The announcement bore so prom inently the ear-marks of the realm of conjecture and 1t seemed so surely the prdouct of the vivid imagination of some over-enthusiastic promoters, seek Ing some possible pot of gold at the end of novel sort of rainbow, that It Is questionable whether even the name of the proposed organization has been remembered by the average read CT. Yet now, in view of the remarka- ble 1ights at Fort Meyer just made by Orville Wright, the American aeronaut of whom every American today is as proud as Punch. the "air-packet" an- ncuncement is recalled to memory and the well-lounded hope naturally fol- lows that flying and aerial navigation, as practical means of transporta- ton, may not be so far off after all
 With every new chapter recorded Of the many efforts made to conquer the air, the fact Is made more apparent that final success must lie along the general lines of aeroplanes, rather than along those of dirigible balloons or so- called airships. Count Zeppelin's last accomplishment in his Inflated. mons trous and cumbersome invention was remarkable. He has f ny deserved all the praise and suppo-, he has receiv- ed. But the three record breaking flights of Orville wrlSh, on Wedn, s. day were more than that. They com prised an epochnak!re event that promises untold success later on No more striking contrast between the
 
 "gas-bag' variety of flying and the heavier-than-air inventions could be had than two events of Wednesday. At the Richmond county fair fifteen thous- and people saw a dirieibe balloon l burst and dash boy -baloonist and a young lion cub that was with him to the ground mortaly wounding them. Al Fort Never Orviiie Wright made three successful flights. Two of these were Of approximately an hour each and the third was with Lieutenant Lahm of the army as passenger at his side. That was 'renlly-truly" fy- Ing. Tho accounts of the flying read like the descriptions in Jules Verne g "A Trip 10 the Moon" Mir. Wright had been required by the government 10 stay aloft for an hour. He more 1 than did what was required of him on l two occasions and besides showed wha, his machine could do carrying pas senger.
 Mir. Orville wright's success is only further emphasized by the equally sue, cessful work of his brother, wilbur, al Le Mans, France. These brothers are Americans and their fellow countrymen nre proud Of them-prouder even than of Hayes. the Marathon winner, ant prouder even than they will be of Com nander Peary If he succeeds in reach. ing the pole. America expects tn, Wrights to perfect flying into an ar, and finally into a science.
