In connection with the late lamented"
(see New York chess columns) victory
of Frank Marshall, American champion,
over Olrchs Duras, Bohemian cham
pion, it is worthy of note, as showing
the yictor's great fear of his opponent,
that on the three occasions when he
had the move he only once dared to
play POI, contenting himself the other
times with such slow and solid openings
as the kings and Danish gambit That
he lost with one of these debuts the
kings gambit, given below, only goes to
show the marvellous luck which must
have attended his other efforts, particu-
larry as this was the last game Of the
match. and he had won only three and
drawn one of the first four games.

FROM SALOON men

New York, Feb. 20.-Additional
figures to show the enormous pro-

loon and hotel keepers were question
ed and one negro, Leroy wilkins. ap-
peared later before the grand jury, to
which he repeated his statements that
he was assessed from $50 to 800
month by the police for protection.
The evidence that the district at

confession followed that of Policeman
Eugene Fox and led to the indict-

total revenue from these places Is es-

of a thousand Scared and crumbling
dwellings hang bands of crepe. The
destruction of the city could not be
more complete if it had been visited
by an earthquake. The total cost in
human life is enormous, it being es-
timated at twenty-five hundred SOL
diers and two thousand non-combat-
ants killed. About four thousand SOL
diers and three thousand non-com-
batants were wounded.
l witnessed the opening act of the
fearful war drama in the Zocalo and
Plaza before the national palace. On
Sunday morning February 9th, news
was flashed over the city that a revo-
luton had begun and that General
Diaz and General Reyes had been
liberated. l saw both those leaders
escorted to the palace by soldiers
through crowds of cheering and ex-
cited people, filling the huge plaza.
Long lines of infantry stood backed
against the palace wall and lines of
skirmishers, who were lying flat on
the ground, were a few PAGES in front
of them. l noted many machine guns
ranged on the palace roof but did not
imagine they were to be used in real
warfare.
1 was slowly crossing the plaza when
the lines of soldiers 1 had so casually
inspected. opened fire with scattering
volleys. The machine guns instantly
answered, sweeping the crowded 70
Gallo and sending a storm of bullets
into the throngs of unsuspecting wo-
men, children. and men. With the
first volley. the terror stricken
crowds scattered everywhere, women
shrieking, falling and fainting. to be
trampled upon by the fleeing thou
sands.
I ran with the rest for San Francis
co street and saw men and women
fall on every side from bullets from
the federal machine guns which flew
high and wide in every direction ex-
cept into the ranks of rebels.
Two hundred and eighty bodies
were removed from the streets around
the Zocalo as a result of the first
massacre and fully eight hundred
non-combatants were seriously
wounded. Day after day and often
at night the same frightful conditions
prevailed.

COMPETITIVE BIDS
RECEIVED FOR WORK
OF PAVING STREETS

Competition for paving work in
Pendleton is again on competitive
bids having appeared last evening
when proposals were received for
paving East Webb street from Cotton
wood to College and College street
from Webb to Court. The Warren
Construction company submitted a
bid of s1,45 per yard on gravel btu
lithic, while the DOORWAY company
submitted an offer of $131 per yard.
The bids were referred to the street
committee. Should the bid of the
Dolorway company be regarded with
favor it seems that the city will have
to readvertise the work, since the bid
submitted last night by the new COM
pany was not upon the class of work
asked for by the council
The council last night received a
communication from the firm of Sloan
& Bisbon offering to provide the city
with new system in the form of a
septic tank. The offer was referred
to the sewer committee.
A plat for Wade's Addition to PEN
dleton was filed with the council and
was accepted. Wade's addition will
consist of four lots located between
the old academy building and the
Christian church. That property has
never been plated heretofore and has
been described only by metes and
bounds.
Complaint was registered with the
council last evening that the sidewalk
along the federal building site on
West Alta street is being demolished
by parties who drive teams across
the walk to reach the vacant tract
which is being used as feeding
ground. The complaint was referred
to the street committee which body
was instructed to take the matter up
with the postmaster.
