VERA CRUZ MAYOR ASSAILS
LIND AND CONSUL CANADA
FOR AIDING MADEROS ESCAPE

Vera Cruz, Mexico, Nov. 22.-'T am sur
prised and incensed at the action taken
by Mr.. Lind. and United States Consul
Canada in assisting three Maderos and
others of their party to elude the laws
of Mexico" declared Mayor Lagos. of
this city, today. These men were taken
from the Ullua Prison, where they had
received the best of attention at the
request of Gen. Huerta, and placed un-
der a very light bond. They were given
the limits of the city as their zone of
freedom.
Now, il these men are guilty, then
we have been thwarted in taking action
against them. We had reason to be-
lieve that they were attempting to evade
the law, and the military commander
ordered that they appear before him so
that he might communicate to them a
message direct from the President. They
were not to be molested in any way be-
yond the notification.
''I had special men keeping watch On
them, for It was my duty TO do SO.
They were my charges. 1t Is impossible
for me to believe that the people of the
great United States, high respectors of
laws, will sanction and look favorably
upon the action OF the representative of
President Wilson in acting as a smuggler
and guard of our delinquents."
Rebels Are Warned.
United States Consul Miller, at Tam
pico. reported today that Capt. Wood,
commanding the battIeship Nebraska,
has sent to the rebel leader. Aguilar. a
written warning that the persons and
properties of foreigners must be protect
ed. Capt. Wood also has notified the
oil companies against paying any war
taxes levied by either side.
Considerable alarm is felt over the in
creased activity OF the rebels along the
lines of the railroads between here and
Mexico City, particularly at orizabar.
There have been threats to cut the lines.
and the government does not appear to
be prepared to meet the emergency, be-
cause of the necessity for relieving Tam
pico. Tuxpan. ard Victoria.
The battleship New Hampshire return
ed today from Tuxpan and took her
place outside the harbor. while the vir-
ginia came inside the bay, taking the
place of the cruiser Chester. The Ches-
ter left port early in the morning with
the Madero party on board. 1t is under
stood that the Maderos VIII be transfer
red to the Ward liner Moro Castle.
which sailed from here two days ago for
Havana and New York.

FLYNN MUROERERS
HIDING IN HILLS
BELIEVED CRIME PLANNED IN
VIRGINIA AND COMMITTED
IN CAROLINA.

R1DGEWAY. VA, Dec. 1.-THE
murder of Frank Flynn, of King s
MILL whose dead body was discovered
lying in his home last Thursday. is as
much of "a mystery as it was when
tho crime was discovered. and his
slayers are still at large. M rewards
have yet bean offered for their ap-
prehension, in spite of rumors to the
contrary, no extraordinary meeting Of
the town council has been called so
far, and no cash reward can be offered
by the city pnul it is authe rized by
that Body
The absence Of clews and the com
plications caused by the crime being
committed upon the horGor line OF
Virginia and North Carolina pre- vents
rapid action. 1t is generally thought
however, that the crime was planned
in Virginia, committed in North Caro-
lima, and that the Patrick hills are the
refuge sought by the perpetrators OF
the crime. The names of the two men
who were seen here. on the day pre-
ceding the crime are believed to have
been discovered by the County police,
who. for very obvious reasons, are
keeping them to themselves. While
the means CT the local authorities and
the personnel is somewhat restricted,
the matter will not be dropped, and
every possible. effort win be made TO
arrest the inch who committed this
act of lawless sayagery.
The Flynn family Is highly respect
ed In this neighborhood. They are
all Woodworking farmers, and have
received the sympathy OF the people
of this section. 1t is, however, gen
orally understood that Flynn met his
death In an affair which he not only

anticipated, but which he also caused
Very little Is known Of Flynn's early
life. He has lived In this section for
several years, and although devoted
to his family, he made few friends and
mixed little with the neighb3ring folk
He is described as being strange
mixture of good and bad. and those
in whom he confided and who had
business dealings with him say that
he was always prompt to pay his
debts, and that he was always pos
sessed of a good sum of money, al
though where 1t came from Is hard TO
say. All readily agree that he was "A
man of high temper. and that when
provoked he was a dangerous man.
II Is said that when in semi
intoxicated state he admitted to some
men who were with him that he had
killed two men, Under what circum-
stances he did not say. He is aso
quoted as saying that he expected to
die with his boots on, and he in

London, Feb. A terrific bonn
pie was begun last evening by the Bull
uarians and Servians surrounding the
city to the number of over 100000. Al
most at the moment of the conclusion
Of the armistice at seven o'clock, siege
q MS and field guns from various
points commanding the forts opened
fire. Not even the residential portion
Of the city was spared.
Some quarters of Adrianople are in
flames as the result of the lombard
rient by the BuIsarians and servians'
v hich was resumed with even more
intensity today, according to advlces
received here from the front.
There is considerable difference of
opinion as to how long the fortress
will be able to hold out. One dis
patch from Mustapha Pasha today,
which reported that the heavy can
nonade continued throughout the
night, concluded with the prophecy
made by the Bulgarian staff that two
weeks would suffice for the besegers
to force the Turks to capituate.
Military men, however, who know
something about the several lines of
forts which form the defense OF
AdrianopIe look for prolonged de-
fense by the besiesed garrison, which
comprises many of the best OF the
Turkish regular troops.
Shukri Pasha, the Turkish com
mander, who is defending Adriano-
ple, has declared that he will not sur
render the fortress until the last OF
his soldiers have been killed.
While there have been some deser'
tions from the ranks Of the garrisons,
these have been chiefly Christian. sol
diers serving with Turkish regime
..,rukri Pasha still has 10000 men a
number which is considered suf-
flcient to man the forts and hold at
hay the much greater besieging force.
The Bulgarians are said to have
o5Q.QQQ men IN the province or Thrace,
with $4,000 Servian soldiers and per-
haps few divisions of Greeks assist
ing them. The greater part of this
force, however, is compelled to re-
main in front of Tchatalja and at

armies concentrated at those places.

ia has greatly improved during the

Although no Serious fighting has
occurred along the Tchatalja lines,
the Bulgarian troops are not idle. The
