REIGN OF TERROR IN DURANGO
Mexican Rebels, Beyond Control,
Burn, Loot and Murder.

Parral, Mexico, May 20. Many
Federal officials, including jefes polit
icos, have been killed, scores of other;
have been put in Jail, stores have beer
looted and hundreds of people are or
the verge of starvation as the result
of reign of terror, waged in the
state of Durango and Southern Chi
/ huahua by a band of insurrectos who
have heard nothing of the peace agree
ment. The entire state of Durango,
with its capital, city of $4,000 peo-
pie, is at the mercy of rowing bands,
who have unsettled all the regularly
constituted authorities.
The worst feature is that all COM
munication has been cut off for weeks
and the country, being non-agricul-
tural region, is without food The
mining camps of Ganacivi, state of
Durango, are in chaos.
The first act of the insurrectos after
charging a town was to place all the
government officials in Jail. Stores
were then looted and governent docu-
ments burned.
Thomas Urdina, who claims to be
the insurrecto commander of the
Southern Zone, was informed that
Madero was perfecting peace plans.
He answered he would dictate the
peace terms for his territory, and the
looting continued.
In the town of Villa Escobedo,
few miles south of here, the munich
pal buildings were burned, all the res
idents having fled to the mountains.
A previous report that all govern
ment and municipal officials in certain
towns had been killed has been con-
frmed
Robert J. Swazie, an American
planter in Michocoan, was killed by
band of insurrectos; his ranch house
burned and his wife probably carried
off by marauders, as she disappeared
the night of her husbands murder.
James Mcintyre, an American
miner, was held up and robbed by a
oand of Mexicans near Ahuijudla.
After they secured about 5000 from
Mcintyre, the Mexicans decided to kill
lim and promptly filled him with lead.
DR.. George D. Rich. an American
physician at Colima, received word of
fate.
A battle is reported at Acapulco in
which 83 Federals and an unknown
lumber of rebels were killed.
Shipping at the Mexican Pacific
,orts is at standstill and great diff
ulty is being experienced in loading
md discharging by vessels calling at
he various ports of stop.

The Controller Bay episode, with this

It Is undisputed that Richard s. Ryan

soldier: the tme has come when we
have to look and work where we can
get help. A year ago last fall, when a
Representative was to be elected to
Congress from my district, the Repuh-
licsns and Democrats both put up good
men; the district was Republican by a
good majority; the old soldiers called
upon the Republican candidate to See
where he stood on the pension ques-
ton; he was evasive anil would not
give satisfactory answer; they called
upon the Democrat. to see how he felt
In regard to the matter; he said he
was strongly in favor of a liberal pen
sion policy and would do everything In
Ills power to help legislation to thai
end; he was elected: the post to which
/ belonged cast a solid vote for him,
while there was only one Democrat In
the post.
A great majority of the old soldiers
need the help; / was a member of the
Soldiers Relief Commission for a num-
Der Of years, and I was often surprised
to see who applied for aid, SO l know
whereof speak.
As to the politics in the case, I will
leave that to the politicians; am look
ing at the practical and just side Of the
question. The feeling in the West and
Northwest. where the old soldier vote is
strong, Is such that they will help the
men who will help them in return, with
out regard to party lines.

in time to be a creed, and later on 1t
came to be an adjunct of the moral pre-
cepts. In a rude and ignorant age the
moral precepts are laws proclaimed by
the tribal chief, patriarch, king, or
other ruler. and with the moral pre-
pie.
Ever since the Caucasian ceased to
inherit life-sufficing instincts. 1t has
been necessary for him to receive in
struction from others. The necessity for
this instruction gave rise to the voca-
ton Of teacher. The teachers came in
time to be a company or society, and
they were the guardians of the creed.
During long periods the ,creeds were
helpful to the teachers in maintaining
discipline, and in bringing the race for
ward.
In the admission of new members to
the ranks Of the teachers the novice was
required to avow the creed. The ten
dency Of this practice was to perpetuate
the creed unchanged while the intelli-
gence OF the people slowly advanced.
Thus a creed at one time may accelerate
progress. and at another time retard It.
And this Is a paramount fact
