Charlie Mitchell Saw Mexican
Battle Ground of NacO.
A Moving Story of How VictOrs
Bury the Dead.

Charles Mitchell, of Crane & Co, who
| has just returned from business trip
/ through Arizona, brought back hrst-
| hand impression of Mexican war meth
DDS. After an inspection OF the pattle
! field at Naco, on the National line, he
| is of the opinion that war of the Next
/ can variety is about as the late w.
| T. Sherman described it..
While at Naco, Mr.. Mitchell crossed
the imaginary line into South Naco'
where a little band of federal troops
were wiped out by insurgents and Yaqui
| Indians about ten days ago.
There was no difficulty in observing
| that trouble had occurred in that
| neighborhood at a recent date, says
Mr. Mitchell today. ION some of the
buildings. there was not a wall space
the size of ones hand that was not
Dunctured by rifle or machine gun buI-
let's. Buildings were totally wrecked
by the homemade bombs manufactur-
ed by the Yaqui Indians. These gren-
AIDES were made of anything available
tomato cars, cigar boxes, gourds-any
old thing that would hold quart or SO
of dynamite. Some of the 1ndfans
should have gone into baseball, Juds-
ing from the speed and accuracy with
which they threw the bombs. WIN "a
short rope or rawhide thong tied 10
the package, they would give 1T Few
whirls and throw it about block, ana
it got results where it landed
After the battle the victors turned
undertakes, but they couldn't join an
undertakers' union on account OF tnelr
cr1de work. The handiest place was
a well, 200 feet deep and feet in oi-
ameter They chucked bodies into TINS
well until it full to the top
and then tossed in a few shoVe1ulS
of sand The place is now marked ny
a horrible smell ana a nuSe column "a
bluebottle flies.
Another handy burying place was
little arroyo near town, which was nlI-
ed with bodies strung 1engthWlse alohg
the steepest bank, and the dirt caVeo
down on them. This grave is SO Snail
low that it is almost impossible to APP
proach it against the wind AFTER tne
well and ravine were filed, a large
number of bodies were still leIl' anu
these were partially cremated by pour
ing oil over them and setting fire They
are merely roasted, not cremated-
Mr.. Mitchell is of the opinion that
there will be no permanent peace IN
Mexico until the United States taxes
charge of every foot of ground from
Arizona and Texas to the Panama ca
nal. and protects the property inter
ests of foreigners.
Among the relics brought back Dy
Mr. Mitchell are photographs OF par
TALLY burned bodies of Mexicans.
"They are not noted for the NUMBER
of prisoners they take" says Mr.. Mltcn-
ell las ammunition is cheaper than
groceries, and it pays to shoot them. -
Citizens of Naco who witnessed the
battle at short range, told Mr.. Mitch
ell that the MexicanS who were slaugh-
tered at the little border town appear
ed cool under fire, and took their nleul-
cine like real soldiers.

Every Edition, However, VIII
Be Censored Closely.
<COIOneI" Kerr Tells of Burn
ing Private Property.

Manchester, May 13.-T. Benson
the director of the National labor
press which has announced its deter
mination of continuing the puplca-
ton of the Suffragette, said today:
1.-The fight is one of principle. Every
edition will be censored by the man
agement of the National labor press
and any Indictment to outrage ex-
cluded. The management believes that
an attempt to suppress a newspaper
before it is published affects the right
of free speech
During the hearing the printers of
the militants newspaper, the Suf-
fragette, related the negotiations
which led to their undertaking the
work. Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst
conducted the negotiations and in re
ply to expression of fears by the pr1n-
tiers that the job was dangerous one
gave her personal promise that no
offensive or illegal matter would ap-
pear. She laid stress on the point that
her daughter, Christabel, had legal
training and was a specialist in con-
stitutional law. The interesting reVela-
ton was made on the witness stand
that the militant organization, the
Women's Social and Political union,
paid for the printing of the election
address of George Lansburry, the for
mer Socialist member of parliament,
who failed to secure his election.
London, May IS. Katherine
Strange, proprietresS of tea pa
vilion which was burned in Kew
gardens by the militant suffragettes,
described a visit she made to Miss Re
becca Kerr. after the destruction of
the property. Miss Kerr told her that
she took too personal view of the
matter. No doubt, Miss Kerr said, the
women employed in the tea pavilion,
although they had lost their job, would
ultimately be very glad that they lent
q helping hand to their fellow Wom-
en-. Anyway, she continued, the only
means of rousing the government was
to attack private property and that
the militant SuffragetteS intend to con-
tinue to do until they had obtained
the vote. Mrs. Strange informed Miss
Kerr that her husbands tea pavilion
in Regents park was also destroyed
had suffered enough and its members
would be glad if the militant suffra-
gettes would leave their other refresh
ment pavilions standing.
In reply Miss Kerr declined to make
any promise-just said she would re-
port the suggestion to headquarters.
A medal manufacturer testified about
the decorations supplied to the Wom-
ems Social and Political Union. He
said that medals inscribed for valor

The most distinguished decorations,
known as Grille" brooches, cost
$1,000. he said.
Bars We're also supplied for addf-
ton to the ribbons the medals
when subsequent acts were considered
worthy of special mention in dis
patches. Testimonials recording acts
of lawlessness by adherents of the
militant organization were also dis
tributed among the rank and file by
the leaders of the union, according to
today's evidence.

CARMICHAEL DENIES IT
Doctors Did Not Blame Hodges for
Chiropractic Bill.

Reports that Dr. F. A. Carmichael of
Goodland criticised the actions of Gov
chfropractic bill when it came to him
from the Democratic legislature, were
misleading and untrue. Instead of criti-
cising the Kansas executive for his ac-
tons, DR.. Carmichael declared that the
Kansas doctors themselves were to blame
for the passage of the new law because
of their failure to work for its defeat and
that the governor could not be expected
to assume the responsibility of vetoing the
act after its passage in both houses with
out apparent opposition.
Speaking of the protest against the gov
ernor, DR.. Carmichael said in part:
I'm perusing the pages of the March
Journal, I was impressed with the ut
ter childishness of the protest against and
criticism of the action of Governor
hodges relative to the chiropractic bill.
Considering the fact that it is a human
frailty to place the blame of our own
calamity on the shoulder of the other fell
low when possible, we all usually hasten
to saddle him with the responsibility of
our own delinquencies no matter how far
fetched or inadequate our grounds for so
doing may be- Therefore why censure
our governor and stigmatize the act as
ingratitude when he fails to veto meas
ure that presumably, to him. represents
popular demand on the part of the peo-
pie whose best interests his official oath
Obliged him to conserve? Would we ex-
pect him TO place his individual judgment
above that of a majority of the house and
senate on a measure that involves no
question of administration policy.
Let us come back to earth and place
the blame where it rightfully belongs
on our Indifference as profession, to the
public welfare
Throughout DR.. Carmichaers speech, he
placed the blame for the passage of the
chiropractic bill at the door of the Kansas
doctors He declared that the passage of
the new law was only a just recognition
of the efforts made by members OF that
profession, which Kansas physicians made
no effort to Offset and that the Kansas
executive could not have been expected
to Interfere in the matter and exercise his
right to veto to a bill against which no
protest had been filed.

CUT IN HAIL INSURANCE
From is to 40 Per Cent Reductions
Have Been Filed.

Several stock insurance companies
writing hail insurance have filed sche-
dulles of heavy cuts in the rates for
merly charged with Superintendent Ike
S. Lewis, of the insurance department.
The cuts in rates range from Is to
nearly 40 per cent of the rates charged
last year, according to the new sche-
dulles.
The eastern portion of the state al
ways has been favored with better rates
than the western portion. The cut in
80 counties lying east of the east line
of Washington and Sedgwick counties
is from to 3 per cent, 20 per cent
reduction. In % counties in the CEN
trail part of the state the cut is the
lightest, being from to per cent.
The heaviest cut is for 25 counties ly-
ing in the southwestern corner of the
state where the former rate of per
cent has been reduced to 5 per cent.
In 10 counties in the northwestern cor
ner the cut has been from 9 to Z per
cent.
The cut makes the stock companies
rates lower than the hail mutual COM
pan1es rates in most respects. The cut
was made voluntarily by the companies,
and came as a surprise to the superin-
tendent of insurance

Judge Pollock, before whom movie people
recently appeared to plead for an in
junction to block the enforcement of
the Kansas moving picture censorship
law. Attorney General John S. Dawson

represent the state in contesting the
issuance of an injunction.
-Four causes of action are set out by
the picture film manufa cturers and dis
tributors in seeking an injunction
against the enforcement of the new
Kansas law. 1t is claimed that the
law was created producer, that it re-
stricts the freedom of speech and of
the press, that enforcement of the law
is in conflict with the interstate COM
merce law and that the law is further
imperative for the reason that the
legislature made inadequate appropria-
ton for its administration. In event
the writ is denied, representative of
film manufacturers have declared
that they propose to carry the case to

TO TEST The LAW.
Insurance Companies Go to Court on
Fire Marshal Clause.

Suit against Ike S. Lewis as superin-
tendent of the Kansas insurance de-
partment. for the return of $46S.41 paid
under protest for the support OF the
Kansas state fire marshal, which 1t is
alleged was illegally and wrongfully
collected. was started by the St. Paul
Fire & Marine Insurance company in
the district court today. Incidentally the
| suit will test the power of the marshal
! to levy and the superintendent OF IN
surance to collect such levy mace
against premiums collected for any
| other than for fire insurance for the
support of the marshal.
The company bringing the suit cites
that its premiums for hail, tornado
! and marine insurance is considerably
| in excess of the sums collected for lire
insurance in Kansas. 1t is upon the
| amount of premiums collected that the
levy for the support of the fire marshal
is made.
According to the petition the plaintiff
company collected during the last year
the sum of $127 070.08 in fire insurance
premiums. 1t collected $123, 900 in hail
premiums and $40,315 in tornado pre-
niums A collection of 81, 592 was made
! for marine premiums. 1t is urged that,
| inasmuch as the fire marshal mas no
| connection whatever with hail and tor
nadoes that premiums paid for such
| insurance should not be taxed for his
support.
| On April A, last, the company paid to
Superintendent Lewis the sum of $685.
81, being the levy on fire insurance
premiums. 1t failed to pay the balance
| of the levy Lewis urged that the
payment be made under protest and
| that suit be filed. if the company
wanted to test out the law. This has
| been done.
| In case the court holds that tornado
and hail premiums are not taxable it
| will leave Fire Marshal Parkman with
very little money on which to carry out
his work this year, taking more than
half. it is estimated, of the amount
levied, and on provisions being made
for change in the levy until next
| spring.

rough-and-tumble School Days. but is
a better show The audience liked it. 1t

whose voice is about the average. Willis
Hall is as full of jokes A. Bonham is
of music. The show has more snap than
many productions shown at the Grand
It's short and spicy-a cross between
tabloid vaudeville and farce. Caroline
Ross, as the american Girl changes
costumes as rapidly as a chameleon and
has some nifty little gowns The chorus
is small but good.
Many who saw the performance last
night declared it furnished more enter
tainment than many a production or
more than triple the expense that has
been shown this winter at the opera
house
Willis Hail. Jack Reid and Ella Reid
Gilbert furnished a good bit of sport at
an ina ginary banquet Hall and Reid

Alice Carver wants a Divorce.

The second suit to be filed under the
new divorce law was begun in the district
court this morning when Alice A. Carver
asked to be freed from Robert Lee
Carver. The case is the first that 1nten-
tionally was filed under the law, the
former case having been filed with view
to bringing it under the old law.
Incidentally the case this morning IS
the first in the month, an unusual record.
Court officers are wondering If the failure
to file such suits means that the divorce
business will be cut to an extremely low
mark on account of the new law.
The plaintiff this morning charges that
for two years her husband has failed to
support her, compelling her to make ner
own way, and that he has wrongfully dis
posed of their home and her possessions
She wants in addition to a decree, to
have her former name, Alice A. Dunn, re-
stored to her
The case must be investigated by the
county attorney and at least 60 days must
elapse before it can be heard, according
to the new law that provides for d.

WILSON is SILENT.
President Will Not Commit Himself
on Tariff.

Washington, May 13.-President Wilson
has taken the position that he ought not
commit himself in any way with respect
to numerous minor amendments to the
tariff bill being suggested by Democrats.
Secretary Redfield had a half hours
talk With the president before the cabinet
meeting today and declared he believed
unimportant changes would be made but
that if the president consented to certain
ones he would be besieged with requests
to open up other schedules.
Secretary Redfield said since it had be-
come known that an inquiry was to be
made by the bureau of domestic and for
eign commerce into wages and industrial
condition in connection with the tariff
bill some requests had come from manu-
facturers themselves inviting such in
Vestigation. These, Mr.. Redfield declared.
were based, however, more on the belief
that the inquiry would be the basis for
tariff rates rather than an examination
as to the effects of the bill after it had
become law.
Senator Simmons declared today many
manufacturers had notified they did not
want open hearings. The senator said
the finance subcommittee were making
some changes but that they were not
material
Reduction of the proposed duty of II per
cent on structural steel to per cent is
said to have been considered.
