FORMER POPULAR
HERO LYNCHED.
General Montero Slain by Mob
in Courtroom.
SHOT, BEHEADED, BURNED
Had Been Proclaimed President Of
Ecuador BY the Troops, But
Turned over the leadership
To General Afaro.

Guayaquil, Ecuador. - Gen. Pedro
Montero, who recently was the popular
hero of Guayaquil, was shot by the
amy populace, dragged into the
streets, beheaded and burned.
General Montero in November last
was proclaimed president of the troops
stationed in Guayaquil, but handed
over the leadership in the provisional
government TO Gen. Flavio Alfaro. A
revolutionary army went from Guaya-
quill to meet the government troops
from Quito, who under the command
of Gen Leonidas Plaza, defeated them
and eventually forced Quayaquil to
capitulate
General Montero, with other leaders,
was captured on January % and Fri
day General Montero was brought be-
fore a court-martial and sentenced to
16 years Imprisonment in peni-
Tertiary.
When General Plaza, who presided
over the court-martial, announced the
sentence, crowds of angry people, who
had surrounded the government
palace, awaiting the result, shouted
violent protests. The excitement in,
creased rapidly and some of, them
rushed into the courtroom, riddled
General Montero with bullets, seized
his body and dragged it into the open
air There they hacked the head off
the shoulders, gathered fuel, with
which they started fire and then cast
head and trunk into the flames.
Generals Eloy Alfaro and Paez, who
were captured at the same time as
General Montero, it is reported, were
sent TO Quito at midnight. They will
be tried by court-martial in the capital.

A PoRTIA COMES TO JUDGMENT.

United States Court.

Cincinnati.-A Portia came to judg.

Mrs. Mabel Van Dyke Bell assumed
the duties of Federal Commissioner, to
which office she was recently ap,
pointed.
Mrs. Bell is said to be the only

in preliminary hearings in a United

of man charged with sending libel
Gus matter through the mails, and she
bound him over to the grand jury and
fixed his bond at $500.
The room was crowded with attor.

spectacle of a woman on the bench.

NOSTRUNs, SAYS
PRESIDENT TAFT
Progressive Policies Denounced
by the President.
HTS ON JUDGES RECALL
Addresses Ohioans, West Virginians
and Aeronauts and Attends Ball
In New York-Whirl-
wind Tour.

New York.-On the eve of his
three-day visit to Ohio, his home
State, President Taft spoke at the
Waldorf-Astoria to the Ohio Society
Of New York, delivering, probably, the
most imprisoned speech he has made
in many months, directed against the
"nostrums of reform" and particular
ly aimed at the recall of judges.
In the efforts that the President
said have been made to reform legis-
lation in this country he saw much
that was good. He saw the faults of
government in the United States to-
day and admitted that in trying TO
eradicate them much might be accom-
plished by reformers. But in the eff
fort to make the judiciary responsible
to every within" of the people he saw
destruction.
He declared that the conservative
element of the nation must eventually
get together to prevent move
ment that would make the courts the
creatures of popular will and might
make the decision in every case not
accord with the law but accord with
what a majority of the people thought
the law should be.
The time is coming, in my judg-
ment, when the conservative people
of this country who are in favor Of
the eternal principles of justice and
their administration so as to make
them prevail should rise to meet these
misguided supporters of an utterly
indefensible theory and end the agita
ton against the courts.
The Presidents speech to the Ohio
Society was only one of his many
engagements here. From Ohio he
stepped over into West Virginia" in
the same hotel and addressed the New
York society of that name and then
motored to Sherry's to speak to the
Aero Club of America. Before retir
