Many Federal Officers De-
posed At Frightened Die
tatOr's Command.

MEXICO CITY, Dec. 5.-Reports of
a threatened mutiny among the Fed
eral garrison were freely circulated
here today. Officials of the Huerta
government denied the rumors, but it
was noted that during the last twenty
four hours many officers whose loyal
ty has hitherto been unquestioned
have been relieved of active duty and
placed on the reserve list.
Important cabinet changes probably
will be announced Sunday, according
to information given out today.
Minister OF Foreign Affairs MOheno
is slated to retire and Luke MendeZ.
the republics expert on international
law, is to succeed him. Mendez has an
unblemished reputation as a lawyer
and though nearly 80 years of age has
never been mixed in politics.

WE WONDER WHY2
Question Officials About the
Mayors Finance Report.

Just why Mayor Zimmerman re-
Quested City Controller McMahan TO
prepare an estimate of the amount of
money the city will have on hand at
the first of next year, when the pres
ent administration goes out of office,
is a mystery to most of the city Off
cials.
In the first place it will be almost
Impossible for McMahan TO prepare
such a report for he has no way OF

ditures for this month will be-" said

place | do not know OF what value
such a report. even if it could be &C.
curate, would be to the mayor. The
amount in the city treasury is bound
TO be small December 81, and there
would be a deficit if the city had paid
for its public lighting bill this year
There are several who believe that
the report of the City controller will
submit TO the mayor will be incorpOr

BELIEVES DAMAGES
SHOULD Be DIVIDED
Board of Works Head Sug-
gests That G.. & 0. and
City Pay Cost.

Damages to property owners who
will be affected by the widening of
North Third street near ID should be
divided between the city and the G. 4
0. railroad in the opinion of b. A.
kennepohl, president OF the board of
works. Valuation placed on the prop
erty by appraisers was $4,000.
MIR. kennepohl said he believed the
railroad and the city should each pay
$4,000 of this amount. Both would be
equally benefited by the improve
ment, he said.
The remaining $1,000 he believed
should be apportioned among the fac
tories in the vicinity which use the
street as an outlet from their plants.
MIR Kennepohl did not know whether
the other members OF the board would
agree to this arrangement.
The widening of the street will
leave a triangular space at the inter
section. which probably will be i'm
proved as a small park with trees and
a fountain.

FUNCTION OF BUREAU
GIVEN ENDORSEMENT
DR.. David w. Dennis EX-
plains Attitude on NUM-
cipal Research Plan.

Admitting that he misunderstood the
function of the bureau of municipal re-
search, which prominent business men
wished established here, DR.. D. W.
Dennis, of Earlham college, explains
his attitude in a statement which is
appended.
DR.. Dennis in a previous communica.
tion to the Palladium, expressed the
conviction that Mayor Robbins should
be unhampered in the discharge of his
duties. He was under the impression
that the bureau was to consist of a
voluntary commission of citizens who
would advise the mayor regarding the
municipal administration.
His Statement.
The statement of DR.. Dennis fol
lows:
In a note to the Palladium recent
ly entitled Give the Mayor a Chance.
Il was wholly misunderstood The
cause. Of the misunderstanding was
this: A number of citizens are organ
| izing a plan to establish a Bureau o.
| Research here. wholly at the expense
of public spirited private citizens.
, knew nothing of this plan at the time
I wrote and therefore could not have
referred to it in any way. With this
plan | am heartily in favor. II viii
/ be the duty OF this bureau to assis
| the mayor by giving exact information
as to what is going on that could b.
more economically done or that coulC
be dispensed with altogether TO th'
advantage of our city budget
What I was objecting to was tn
| establishing of more officials TO do tn
very things We had elected the mayo
/ to do. when we already have too man.
/ instead of too few officials.
See Educational Purpose.
II thought that these officials coult
give us no more assurance OF unselfisl
service than the mayor had alread
done and that we should then need an
other man to look after these official
ad infinitum. But a Bureau of Re
! search will educate us all or If il fail
the trial expense will be paid by thos
who believe in it. who can spare mC
nev to put into it and who will get be
hind it as a board of directors of
corporation gets behind its executiy
officer.
We would not tolerate typhoid feve
for a minute if we knew that il was
wholly preventable disease. We woul
not permit every tuberculosis patien
to become the focus for the spreadin
of the disease. Indeed these patient
themselves would be greatly grieve
if they knew that they were unnece'
sarilv a menace not only to the publ
health but most of all to their ow
dearest friends.

Keller TO FIGHT
RELEASE OF BURTS
Judge Fox Raises Bond of
Negro Burglar to
$4,000.

Court rules we're not adhered to by
Judge Fox in fixing the bail of Ed
ward Burts, and it was raised from
81, 900 to $4,000 today when the pris-
ner, charged with burglarizing the
home of James Carr on East Main
street. was arraigned and pleaded not
guilty in circuit court. Burts shows
no inclination to pay the increased
bail, although he had drawn a check
for $4,000 on the Indiana Trust com
pany of indianapolis Wednesday and
placed it in the First National bank
here.
He will ask the appointment of a
guardian for his daughter. who is at
tending school in Jefferson City, Mo-
and for his business interests in Chi
cago His accounts will be trans
ferred here and placed under the care
of Cornelius R. Richardson, whom he
has retained as attorney.
Judge Fox fixed the bail for felonies
of the nature of the offense of Burts
at $4,000 at the beginning of the court
term. However, because of the nu
merous burglaries, the judge decided
to double the bill.
May File Second Charge.
Should Burts furnish bail in the
sum of $4,000. Prosecuting Attorney
Keller will not allow him to be re
leased on that alone. as he will file
a charge of assault and battery witt
intent to kill. The alleged assault oc
Cured when Burts hit Burton Carr
: when the latter was pursuing hin

The prisoner says his business in
terests are suffering from his con
fnement in Jail. He will have his aC
counts in indianapolis and Chicago
banks transferred to the First Ma
tionaI bank here, and place the mat
ter in the hands of Mr.. Richardson

Charge of Stabbing Cook.

A plea of not guilty to assault and
battery with intent to kill Richard
Cook. was entered by Donald Nestor,
p. who stabbed Cook in the head with
& pair of scissors on October 5. Nes-
tor will be tried soon as Cook 5 physi-

Steps i'm Front of Work Train
and Is Knocked on
Tracks.
WHEELS CRUSH CHEST
AND MANGLE BODY
It Is Probable That Coroner
Pierce Will ExOnerate
Members of Crew.

Stepping from the rear OF stand
ing freight train directly onto the
main line of the Pennsylvania east
yards, Alonzo G. Moore, %, residing at
1908 North f street, night air inspec-
tor of the Pennsylvania Road, was in
stantly killed by backing work train,
shortly after O'Clock last evening.
The body was badly mangled and was
almost severed across the chest. The
crew of the work train was Engineer
+. w. Martin, Indianapolis, and Con-
ductor w. II. Roach, also of Indiana
polls.
There was a single eyewitness to
the tragedy and, according to his state
mentS, Moore was riding to work in
the east yards on the rear of No. SO,
an eastbound freight, and when the
train stopped to get the signals upon
entering the yards, the inspector was
seen to alight from the caboOse and
walk around the rear of the freight.
At the same time the approaching
work train passed the end of the
standing freight and struck Moore. He
was thrown under the wheels, which
ran diagonally across his chest almost
completely severing his body. Only a
few shreds of skin held the horribly
mangled body together.
The work train was stopped within
a few yards and the body was taken
from beneath the cars. The body was
taken to an undertaking firms par
lors, in North Tenth street.
Wife Frustrated.
He is survived by widow and one
child. The wife was prostrated when
she heard of the tragic death of her
husband. She has been attended by a
physician since the news of her hus-
bands death reached her.
The deceased had been in the en-
plCy OF the Pennsylvania company for
more than two years. He came to Rich
mond from New Albany, Ind.
The body was taken to New Albany
this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Funeral
services will be held in the Christian
church, at that place. Interment will
be made in the New Albany cemetery
Moore was a native of New Albany
and his parents now live in that city
Hold Inquest Saturday.
Coroner Pierce will hold an inquest
tomorrow afternoon. The train crew
was held until the coroner arrived on
the scene. After saying that they
would return to Richmond, Saturday
for an inquest they were permitted tC
take the train through to indianapolis
The other railroad man who claims tC
be an eyewitness will also appear be
fore the coroner.
1t is quite probable that Coroner
Pierce will eXOnerate the train crew as
1t is believed that the stories of those
who have any knowledge of the acci
dent will be that Moore merely walk
ed directly onto the tracks. 1t is under
stood that the signals and lights were
in perfect working order so that i
would not be the inefficiency of the
system that was responsible for the
death of the Inspector

FUGITIVES IN DISTRESS.
FederaIs Seize Innocent Peasants az
Hostage.

PRESIDE, Texas, Via Maria. Dec.
5.-COuriers travelling in advance of
the caravan of refugees from Chihua-
hua rode into Preside today with trag-
ic stories of hardship and distress.
They said that the main body of fugi-
tives would reach the border late this
afternoon. The fleeing Federal soldiers
seized whole families along the way as
hostage to prevent any attack by the
rebels.
For more than week the refugees
soldiers and civilian, men, women and
children. have plodded over the $50
miles Of Mexican desert and mountain
land lying between Chihuahua and the
border
Exhausted men. women and chill
dren, foOtSOre and worn out by hard
ships and lack Of water and food. were
left by the wayside to die slowly of
thirst and hunger.
Some of the rich members of the
fleeing army were compelled by Gen
eral MerCado's soldiers to kill their
horses and mules for food. Even the
pack animals carrying a treasure in
bullion and plate. owned by the ter
raZas and other rich Mexican families
were slain for food.
Straegling bands Of soldiers thanked
the caravan and acted as advance and
rear guards to prevent ny attack by
bandits.
