NEW ORLEANS MAN HOME
AFTER A HARD STRUGGLE
BY Associated Press.

New Orleans, May Eighty miles
over the winding tortuous grades of a
Mexican railroad, under a blistering
sun and after the back breaking, hand
blistering experience of pumping" the
levers, H. Guitterez reached this city
and his home yesterday one week from
the time he left his employers sugar
mill at Las Mochis.
Guitterez, in a graphic manner, told
of how he and four miners, after hear
ing nothing from the states for weeks
because of the revolution. decided to
charter a hand car and start for the
border. All went well until they came
to wrecked bridge over a canyon.
They chucked the handcar over the
embankment and ferried it across the
shallow stream and after a heart
breaking struggle finally got it on the
rails on the opposite side with a fifty
mile stretch up grade to Navajo facing
them. Guitterez says the crew could
hardly crawl when Navajo was
reached. A train at this point carried
them to the border where he took the
train to New Orleans.

institutions of higher learning. The
Tampa Fair Association proceeded
with the fair and issued certificates
for the amount Of the premiums to the
winners, upon the assurance OF the
governor that the money would be paid
by the state as soon as available. The
validating act was ably championed
by Senators McMullen and HUMPHREYS.
The motion to indefinitely postpone

Representative Dougherty gave no.

Grafton Of the vote by which the veto
of the governor was sustained of the
relief association bill This measure
was the subject of a stubborn con-
test in the house. Its main provision
is that no employee of a corporation
shall sign away his right of suit for
damages against the corporation by
accepting the benefits of relief associa-
tons A number of street car COM
panies and some of the railroads
operating in the state have such relief
associations. The governor based his
veto largely on petitions that had come
up from the Tampa association and
others signed by employees protesting
against the passage of the bill. The
advocates of the bill claimed that
membership in such associations was
made compulsory, or practically so.
with the purpose Of saving the COM
panies from damage suits.
DAVIS BILL PASSED.
Senator Davis's bill designed to cur
tail the custom Of treating in sa-
looms and to further reduce the con-
sumption of liquor, was passed by the
senate. 1t had been under considera-
ton several times during the past two
weeks.
The senate also passed over the gov
ernor's veto a measure concerning OBJ
structions to navigation with attend
ant remedies. The only vote against
the measure on its repassage was that
of Senator Henderson.

was reported that two sons of Judge
Melvin Goodman had been murdered
by alleged revolutionary bandits at
their fathers hacienda, Buena Suceso,
not far from Acapulco The neighbor-
hood of the reported crime is said to be
overrun by bandits who owe no allie
glance to any responsible organiza-
ton. Mr.. Wilson states also that
Americans in Mexico City are becom-
ing alarmed and that their unrest is
due in some measure to apprehension
of the failure of peace negotiations
and a consequent prevalence of an
archy.
Considerable uneasiness among for
eigners is noticeable. A new cause of
apprehension on their part is the re-
ported impending assault by the rebels
upon Monterey and Saltillo, capital Of
the state of Couihoula on the Mexican
Northern Railroad, which would mean
the severance of all communication
to the north, with the possibility that
railway traffic to the south might also
be interrupted.
While few believe that an assault on
Mexico City would be successful the
possibility of it being besieged is
causing many foreigners to leave. The
Ward line steamer which sailed from
Vera Cruz last night carried many
refugees, most of them women.
The routes to the United States have
narrowed down to the circuitous one
by way of the National line to San
Luis Potosi, thence to Tampico and
Monterey and to Laredo.
That the withdrawal of the Ameri-
can naval vessels sent to visit the
Mexican coast cities was a mistake, is
now privately admitted in official cir
cles. They were originally sent south
ward on the usual practice cruises and
If it should become necessary to dis
patch them again to Mexican waters
there could be no concealment of the
real purpose of their movements.
A reference of the state department
to the "intolerable conditions existing
at Acapulco is taken in some quarters
as a sign of the intention of the gov
eminent to dispatch vessels to that
port.

ing last night in the rooms of the Com
mercial Association and discussed the
approaching opening of the club house,

plans for the holding of the racing re-
gatta to be held on the Friday follow
ing the opening of the club house.

ten days and that the furniture which
was ordered some time ago had already
arrived in the city and is ready to be
installed as soon as the building is
completed. A house committee was

ments of installing the furniture.

quarters. A committee consisting of
N. J. Lillard, P. Lindenstruth and ]. G.
Ward was appointed last night to take
the house warming affair in hand and
make all necessary preparations.
A resolution was adopted to issue
special invitations to the mayor and
council Admiral Lucien Young of the
navy yard, and the editors and report
ers of the local papers. In addition to
these, each member viii have the
privilege of inviting number of
friends, and the club is determined to
make the affair a success.
It was also decided to have a pic
ture of the club house taken as soon
as it is completed and have cuts made
from it so that it can be printed be-
tween now and the opening of the
house.
The regatta is to be held on Friday
following the house warming and plans
have been made to make this an event
full occasion. All of the boats owned
by members of the club will be eligi-
Bile, and they have already been ar
ranged in classes according to speed.
Asscommittee was appointed last night
to select prizes to be offered in the
races and the prizes selected will be
purchased and placed on exhibition at
the club house on the night of the
house warming. The course for the
race has already been mapped out and
application blanks for entries have
been prepared, so that the holding of
this regatta is a certainty.
number of applications for mem
bership were received last night and
it Is thought that a number will be
received the next few days, and the
club is in good condition financially.

gates are being erected across the
highways leading into this town at the
corporate limits for the purpose of
keeping wandering country cows from
rambling through the streets. The

the council, resulting in the ordinance

dozen senators on the various mo-
tons that were made in an effort to
keep it from coming to passage. But
a majority Of the senator's were plain
ly in favor of the bill. Nearly every
man explained his vote, the explana-
ton being that the debt was an honest
one and should not be repudiated. The
failure to pay the Tampa appropriation
grew out of the fact that the legis-

money than was provided for in its
revenue producing acts, and it became
