snuffed out.
This revolution, although 1t had been

trada.
Last Thursday at Guayaquil General
Pedro Montero, who was proclaimed
president Of the troops after the death

a mob which later burned his body.
The shooting of Montero took place
in the court room where the general
had just been tried by court martial

volt. The people evidently annoyed at
what they considered a too light SEN
tence, rushed into the court room and
after -iddling Bontero's body with bull
lets. dragged it into the open. Then
they decapitated it, built bonfire and
threw into the flames the torso and
head of the man who once was a popu-
lar hero in Ecuador.
Eloy Alfaro and Generals Paez and
Montero were captured Jan. % at
Guayaquil. Flavio Alfaro had been
wounded in battle a few days be-
fore the fall of Guayaquil. Medardo
Alfaro was captured Jan. %.
Severe fighting followed the out
break Of the revolt and continued with
varying successes until Jan. 10. when
the revels suffered bad defeat at
Yaguache, northeast of Guayaquil.

adopted the proposed readjustment
plan, increasing the life insurance
rates of the society, and closed the
adjourned regular meeting here. The

perts at Mobile, Ala, and thereafter
known as the Mobile bill. This mo-
tice warned the society that certain
requirements would be made before

society were prepared by head off,

in 1914, under present plans, the lodge
would be unable to pay $500. 000, 900
of its liabilities, or about $685. OF a
$1,000 policy. State insurance COM
missioners spoke for the measure,
which was opposed by many speakers
as a plan not in accord with fraternal
insurance ideals.
The plan adopted which will be in
force after one year. will increase
rates of members under 81 years old
by from 80 to 100 per cent Members
over 81 may not be assessed more
