Galveston, Tex.-Agents of the
United States secret service who have
been investigating conditions In Mex
leo have made report to the govern.
ment in Washington in which they
verify in almost every detail the story
told by Raoul and Emilio Madero, two
OF the younger brothers OF the slain
President. concerning the torture and
mutilation of President Madero and
his brother Gustavo.
From the secret service report,
Emilio Madero's narrative was con.
servative statement, and the worst de.
tails of the torture to which Fran
cisco and Gustavo Madero were sub.
jected were not told by the surviving
Madero brothers.
copy of the Madero brothers
statement was shown to United States
army officers. THAT statement is a
conservative recital of the actual facts
as to the manner of death meted out
to President Madero and his brother
Gustavo," one of these officers said,
but does not go quite far enough,
for the secret service has reported
other tortures much worse than those
told OF in the Madero statement were
inflicted upon the unfortunate Presi-
dent, his brother, and others of his
administration"
These tortures, 1t is stated, we're in
flicted with the consent ii not at the
actual direction Of General Victoriano
Huerta. now President of Mexico, and
who, until the day of Madero's being
made a prisoner. was supposedly one
of his most loyal friends.
In addition to the gouging out "
eyes. cutting off of lips and other afro
cities, Gustavo Madero. these secret
service agents say, was tortured in a
manner almost beyond belief with a
rcd hot iron poker. The details of this
part of the torture inflicted upon Gus
tavo are impossible of publication. so
savage and horrible are the facts.

REV. FIR. O'CONNOR
ON ANNEXATION
StrattOTd Pastor Vigorously De-
nOunCeS Proposition As
Political Scheme

Rev NJ. J. O'Connor, pastor of St
James r. c. church. Stratford declar-
ed he was unalterably opposed to the
annexation of a part of Stratford by
the City of Bridgeport in strong SER
mons delivered at both masses in the
church yesterday. He characterized
the proposition of annexation of the
Ho111ster Heights district, to Bridge
port, as a political scheme and de-
nounced it in vigorous terms.
Explaining that he felt it his duty
to minister not only to the spiritual.
but to the temporal q welfare of his
flock, he took up the subject of annex
alton. He said he considered the
so-ca11ed "O1d Guard whose member
ship looked askance at the progressive
spirit manifested by the rapidly in
creasing element of population in Hol-
lister Heights
From having treated this element,
with contempt, the politicians have
c1ared the priest, and fearing their in
creasfng strength, are now anxious to
rid themselves of the voters who they
fear viii eventually destroy their pow
eT.
The speaker declared that to him the
whole proposition appeared like a, plot
some real estate men, with the idea Of
the first named to get rid of men op-
posed to them and deprivtng them of
their power, while the last named were
for their property Because it would be
included In Bridgeport.
Father O'Connor declared that the
proposition to annex the whole of
Stratford or none, was picked UP by
one prominent man with the remark,
THE man who favors such q project
hasn't a drop of Stratford blood In his
Veins.''
Father OsConnor referred with tell
ing sarcasm to this assertion
81 see we have a. new blood test in
frV@1 , f1ka a how OoTY al
what blood Is in your veins by wheth-
er or not you favor their schemes.
IT WIN ADMIT that I am not a ma
tinued, but if 1 had to be Hike Ger
tain of those fellows in order to have
Stratford blood in my veins, I'm glad
t"The rich red blood of a working
man is good enough for me-
He declared that he was not so I'M
patriotic and too much an American
to trade a slice Of the old town of
Stratford to Bridgeport for a few
pieces of silver.
HOLSTER Heights cut off from STRAIT
ford and the new form OF goverru1 ent
adopted the so-caHed ''Old Guard
would be firmly intrenched in power
in their desires. He pointed out clear
ly and forcefully that it was the duty
of the HOLSTER Heights people to stick
to Stratford rather than be led away
to Join Bridgeport with the anticipa-
ton that over night, as it were, they
would wake up and find their lot i'm
proved as they would not find this re-
suit true, but on the contrary they
would discover that instead of being
a powerful part of a town they had
become only a small part Of a big and
powerful city. TheS efore he urged
them all to carefully consider their ac-
ton and to insist if their section must
become a part of Bridgeport that the
entire town of stratford be taken along
at the same time. His talk is said to
have made a deep impression on those
hearing st.

BRICANDS HOLD
FOR RANSOM RICH
NETWORK WOMAN

Rome, Jan. 20.-The police authori-
ties, today. were convinced that
brigands in the mountain Businesses in
the north were holding for ransom
Mrs. William Mansfield said to be the
wife Of wealthy New Yorker, who
nysteriously disa ppeared several dtys
ago.
Mrs Mansfield, with other Ameri-
cans, was a guest of the Hotel Vic
toria here, up to last Sunday, when
she went into the north of Italy. She
reached ST. Lakagarra and then all

From the clue. the source of which
they refuse to reveal, the police say
they are informed that a letter al
ready is on its way from the brigands
to Mansfield, in New York, demand
ing q, ransom from his wife.
The situation Is complicated by rea-
son of the fact that Mrs. Mansfield
disappeared near the Austrian frontier
and the police must have the CO.
operation of the Austrian police to
make protracted search
