NEW WORKERS PLAN
TO GIVE BONUS FOR
AN HONEST MAYOR
MUNICIPAL PURlSTS OFFER
S5O0,OO0 PRIZE
Would Give Half Million Dollars to
Chief Executive Who Conducts
Office in Proper
Manner

NEW YORK, March 12.-In order to
obtain for the Office of mayor OF New
York a man of sufficient merit and
honesty to carry out the changes pro-
posed in the new city charter promot-
ers of an independent movement Tor
the election of a purified" municipal
ticket proposed to pay him an annual
salary of $125, 900. or for the term of
four years a bonus of 100000 over and
above the regular salary of the office.
1t Is suggested that the difference be
raised by popular subscription. A state
ment issued by those active in the
movement, who as yet designate them
selves merely as taxpayers, says IN
part:
such man for such job should be
found among the younger generations
of the captains of industry. In COM
mercial life such a man could count his
income in the hundreds of thousands.
Ask for Contributions
therefore. let twenty-five public
spirited citizens pledge themselves
anonymously, so far as the public Is
concerned-to contribute every year
during the next four years an amount
sufficient to produce in the aggregate
the sum of $125,000 year.
and is elected he must agree not to be a.
candidate for reelection. nor partici-
pate in any partisan politics during his
incumbency."
Backers of the plan assert that radf-
cal measures are necessary because OF
almost six years of the worst govern
ment that any city in any civilized
community has ever endured.
James Brownson Reynolds, who was
a special investigator in the Roosevelt
administration, has arrived in New
York and opened an office in Fifth av-
enue. 1t is said that he has the back
ing OF Mr.. Roosevelt In bringing about
a fusion of all anti-Tammany forces in

MEXICO OR UNITED STATES
MUST INTERVENE QUICKLY

MEXICO CITY, March 12.-"Condi-
tons in Central America are becoming
SO intolerable as to be menace to civ
ilization. 1t is a question of but few
weeks at most when Mexico and the
United States will be compelled to in
teryene in the affairs of at least three
of the republics and make them realize
the pledge signed at the recent peace
conference"
This is the summing up of the Cen
tral American situation today by a high
Mexican official.
1t is generally reported here that
Mexico and the United States have ar
rived at full accord in the matter. In
tervention being apparently inevitable,
it is understood the United States will
take the initiative, Mexico backing up
that country with moral support alone.

SEVEN PERSONS BURNED
TO DEATH BY BURGLARS
Incendiary Fire in Mexico, Follow
ing Murder, Traced by
Police

PUEBLA, Mex, March 12.-Seven
persons were burned to death in the
town of Resurrection when the home
Of Augustin Serrano was destroyed by
an incendiary fire.
The theory of the police is that either
murder was committed for the purpose
of robbery before the house was set
afire, or that the victims were chloro-
formed and left to their fate.
The victims include Serrano himself,
mis- wife and their infant child which
was found clasped in its mothers arms
wher the remains were discovered In
the ashes of the ruined dwelling. The
Serranos were reputed to be wealthy.

Mr.. Taft around the world on his now
famous tour, is to be the presidents s

cial news from their respective coun-
tries.
At the White House diplomatic re-
ception today President Taft retained
the Mexican ambassador in audience
longer than any of the others and this
led to the natural inference that he
discussed the Central American situa-
ton.
Mexico, it is said in high official cir
cles, has no desire whatever to annex
any of the Central American republics.

Nicaragua, hearing of this, ordered the

encountered off Corinto, but succeeded
In getting into action first, and dis
abling the MomotOmbo.
The latter was compelled to withdraw
and limped back to Corinto. The TWO
vessels accompanying her also with
drew Hasty repairs were made on
the Momotombo and within few
hours she was ready to put to sea
again. AS she is a faster and better
equipped ship than the Presidente, it
is considered certain she will overtake
the Salvadorean gunboat.

MEXICO CITY, March 12.--It is per-

gagement between the salvadorean gum
boat Presidente and the Nicaraguan
gunboat Momotombo. The result is

The general opinion here Is that in

to the United states to make the initial
move.

tonight absolutely confirms the report
that ships of Nicaragua and Salvador

CONVICT GRASPS
AT FINAL STRAW
PATRICK MAKES DRAMATIC
FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
Former Attorney Displays Wonderful
Fortitude and Succeeds in Con-
fusing Courts as to Status
of Case

NEW YORK, March 12.-Albert T.
P..trick, the lawyer who was convicted
and Sentenced to death for the murder
of the aged Texas millionaire. William
Marsh Rice in 1900, is making des-
perate fight for his liberty. Patrick,
by his wonderful fortitude. pluck and
legal knowledge, has managed to get
his case into such a tangle that the
courts can find no precedent to guide
them in disposing of it.
After a fight that carried the case TO
the United States supreme court
Patrick found himself just where he
started-facing the death chair in sing
Sing. The late Governor Higgins COM
muted the sentence to life imprison-
ment.
That left Patrick the loophole he
sought, so he at once set about getting
the case reopened on the ground that
he was entitled to the original SEN
tence of death or liberty. He has twice
recently appeared in court in Brook
lyn to argue this point and Will now
file a brief.
Through it all Patricks wife has re-
mained loyal to him and daily declares
he is innocent.
Patrick's latest action. and which
caus 1 considerable of a sensation, was
his dramatic appeal to the court to let
him be electrocuted or give him ms
freedom. He insists. if guilty of the
murder of Millionaire Rice, he shouln
pay the penalty with death, but II IN
nocent he should go free.
He insists he is a victim of circum- =
stanial evidence. Patrick declares
death is preferable to Incarceration at
Sing Sing.
