MASSACRE SIXTY
DemoIish Train by Placing Dyna.

STAY INJURED WITH RIFLES
Zapatista's Followers Accused of Hav.
ing Killed Wounded as They
Lay in Debris-American
Victim.

Mexico City, Mex, July 23.-ln an
attack on a passenger train en- route
from this city to Cuernavaca, Moreios,
on Saturday, zapatista rebels killed "a
persons and wounded nearly as many
more.
The Zapatistas, said to number 500,
placed a mine under the railroad
track, which exploded as the locomo-
tive passed over it.
The overturned engine hardly had
settled when the Zapatistas sprang up
from all sides and poured murder
Gus fire into the train.
The first object of their attack was
second-class coach in which were
riding Mexican federal military es-
cort with a captain and two lieuten-
ants
The federals got out of the car and
answered the fire of the assailants, but
their efforts were futile.
All Of the command with the excep-
ton Of five wounded and two who es-
capped were killed.
Thirty passengers in the second
class coaches were killed and many
wounded.
In the frst-class coach no one was
killed, but one person was dangerously
wounded and may die.
The conductor, an American named
Aller, is not expected to live.
After the train had been swept by
their fire the Zapatistas rushed on
their stricken victims and began kill
ing. the wounded.
4 priest, unhurt, pleaded with De
Loa, the rebel leader, to stop the
slaughter, and finally 1t ceased.
After sacktng the express and bag
gage cars, the rebels poured oil on
the cars, and, putting the bodies of
the dead in them, set fire to the
train.
When the relief train arrived there
was nothing but debris and few per-
sons, most Of whom were hurt, to tell
the tale.
The train between Matemoras and
Puebla, in the state of Puebla, was
fired on and windows in the cars
were shattered, but so far as known
no one was hurt.

The plan is to put colonists into
right relationship with tracts of
non-productive land without having
tribute to the spectators or middle
men.
1t is proposed that the state ac-
quire the land at its cheapest whole
sale price, sell it to colonists for it's
talr market value, the entire profit
to be converted into d communal
fund for the benefit of the colonists.

take advantage of the cheap land and
actually refuses to place it in the

multiply the efficiency of individual
savings by using them comparatively.

forcing community spirit, for the
administration of the communal fund
is left in the hands of the colonists
themselves, subject to the veto power
OF the board of commissioners to in

HANF0RD RESIGNS
WHILE UNDER FIRE
Federal Judge at Seattle Quits
as Inquiry Closes.
SENDS TAFT WORD BY WIRE
Jurist Threatened With Impeachment
Says Ill Health Is the Reason for
His Retirement From the
Bench.

Seattle, Wash, July 24.-United
States District Judge Cornelius H
Hanford, the first federal Judge ap-
pointed when Washington was admit
ted TO statehood, twenty-three years
ago, sent his resignation to President
Taft on Monday, while the last wit
nesses were waiting to testify before
the house judiciary committee, which
has been hearing evidence relative to
charges Of misconduct filed against
the jurist. At the tine set for the
hearing a series of conferences be-
tween the committeeman and Judge
Hanford's attorneys was begun. The
proposal that the Judge resign and
the hearing be discontinued was sub
mitted by Judge Hanfords attorneys
and accepted by the committee.
Judge Hanford gives Ill health as
the reason for his resignation.
The impeachment proceedings
against the Judge were the direct out
growth of decision rendered by MIN
last spring declaring forfeited the
naturalization papers Of a resident Of
this city named OLSON because of his
sociaIistic views. Hanford based his
action on the ground that OLSON had
deceived the court and that his rad
lcal opinions constituted menace to
the institutions Of the country.
The impeachment resolution was in
troduced in the house by Representa-
tive Victor Berger of Milwaukee and
on its adoption a subcommittee head
ed by James M. Graham Of Illinois
was appointed to conduct an investi-
cation in this city.
In the hearings witnesses testified
that Judge Hanford had been seen re-
peatedly in an intoxicated condition
on the bench and in the streets; that
the judge manipulated receivership
cases to The advantage of a favored
appointee; that he had sought faVors

When the Fork Was New

II fingers were made before forks
forks We're made before spoons. Tom
Coryat, when passing through Italy in
the year 1911, observed a custom that
is not used in any other country that
| saw in my travels; neither do !
think that any other nation in Chris.
tendon doth use it, but only Italy.
The Italian, and also most strangers
that are commorant in Italy, do al.
ways at their meals use a little fork
when they cut their meat. For while
with their ldfe, which they hold in one
hand, they cut out the meat of the
dish, they fasten their fork. which
they hold in their other hand, upon
the same dish, so that whatsoever he
be that sitting in the company of any
other at meat should unadvisedly
touch the dish of meat with his fingers
from which all at the table do cut,
he will give occasion of offense unto
the company as having transgressed

that for his error he shall be at the
