Death came as the result OF a com
piication or heart disease and kidney
trouble, from which he had been sGf-

secretary, X. II. Russell. and his
housekeeper, Mrs. Margaret Wailing-

rita Vasquez, who fought with Madero
when Madero fought Diaz, is to be
part OF s5OO0O damage suit against
the government OF Mexico.
The suit is brought by j. l.. Davie,
former mayor of Oakland, and his
three sons, Frank, William and Fred
erick Davie.
1t is alleged by the Davies that dur
ing April of last year, In the time OF
the Mexican insurrection, they were
forced by the Maderistas to abandon
tiIeir gold quartz mine near Mazatlan,
in the state of Sinaloa, and have not
since been able to return to their
property because of the continued
threatening conduct OF Mexican ban
dts and because of the unsettled
political conditions in Mexico.
The expulsion of the Davies, and
the part which Senorita Vasquez
played in Il, was one of the most
romantic episodes of the Mexican, re-
bellion-the one before the one that
is now in progress.
With other Americans engaged in
mining and other enterprises in the
state of Sinaloa, Davie and his sons
with their 100 workmen. We're SUR,

NORWALK, o., March 23.-Six in

precarious condition by gas which In

day. This situation was discovered
this morning when an attendant went

At. first 1t was supposed that nat

tragedy, but after preliminary ex-
animation had shown that the fur

as they should have been, Coroner Z.

ana unexpected attack on the town Of
Rosario by a troop OF rebel cavalry.
The horsemen dashed into the
town, rounded up all the inhabitants
and ordered them 10 quit Rosario
within six hours, upon pain OF death.
And at the head OF the troop rode
Senorita Vasquez. the Joan OF Arc OF
Mexico She was a young girl, but
the fire Of zealotry had changed her
into demon of war. In her military
garb-her uniform Of an officer or
cavalry--she looked every inch a
soldier A rifle was slung across her
shoulder, and over her shoulders
hung double belts with cartridges.
This slip of girl was the dom
inant figure of the raiding rebel troop.
Every word she spoke was word OF
hatred against the population of the
terror. stricken town. Neither excuse,
pleading nor prayer availed the peo-
pie against the unyielding will OF
Senorita Vasquez. The other officers
and the men of the troop obeyed her
command without question, and her
command was TO force the entire
population of the town TO flee or to
be put to death.
None waited for a second order
and hiked to Mazatlan without more
ado. The insurrectos were in posses
ion there and things We're intolerable,
so the Davie family left.

whose initiatory ceremonies were
weird and, fantastic in the eXlIepe,

some spectacular happenings at tae
time OF the annual initiation OF these
societies. All OF them have prom

their full membership, equipped in
their formal initiatory costumes.

The Turkish delegation announced
today it was empowered to confer
only with the three Balkan king

All conferees expressed the belief

Prospects for a successful Issue OF

declarations Of the Turks that they
