Admiral Mayo Demands Immediate
Release and Salute to
Flag.
MISTAKE, is THE DEFENSE
Mexican General Said Affair Was
Unintentional; Investigation
Promised.

Il Mexico City, April 11.-A launch
from the United States gunboat Dol
phin, carrying the paymaster and a
small detachment of marines, put in
yesterday at Iturbide bridge at Tam
pico. The Americans were after a
supply of gasoline. They were in
uniform, but unarmed. The launch
flew the American flag.
i Colonel Hinojosa, commanding a
detachment of Mexican federals,
placed the paymaster and his men
under arrest. They were paraded
through the streets and held for a
time under detention.
Admiral Mayo made vigorous rep
reservations to the authorities, and
the men were released. Gen. Ignacio
Zaragoza expressed to admiral Mayo
his regret. Although President
Huerta in an official statement to
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American
charge d'affairs, has apologized for
the unusual zealousness Of the Mex
lean commander at Tampico, there
existed here last night great uneas-
mess because Admiral Mayo is re-
ported to have given the govern
ment authorities at Tampico until 6
o'clock last evening to salute the
American colors.
President Huerta's statement was
not received by Mr.. O'Shaughnessy
until after 6 o'clock, and it was con-
siderably later before communica-
ton with General Zaragoza was pos
sible. The statement follows:
"In view of the fact that the
charge d affaires Of the United
States hears that the whale boat
carrying the American sailors was
flying the flag of his country, an in
vestigation will be made to establish
the responsibility Of Colonel Hinojo-
sa. In accord with the line of con-
duct which the government of Mexi-
co always has followed in fulfillment
of it's duties of an international
character regarding all nations, It'll
deplores what has occurred.
This case has grown out of moth
ing more than mistake of subordi-
nate officials, since the superior in
rank of this same official, General
Zaragoza at once proceeded to point
out that what had happened was I'M
Intentional, and imposed upon
Colonel Hinojosa disciplinary pun
ishment, within the faculty of said
General Zaragoza.
IF the Investigation which is to
be made, should develop greater re-
sponsibility on the part of Colonel
Hibojosa, corresponding penalty
will be imposed upon him by the au-
thorities legally competent in the
case"
Rear Admiral Frank F. Fletcher,
the ranking admiral of the govern
ment who is now at Vera Cruz, has
forwarded to Charge O'Shaughnessy
Mayo's report to him, in
which the latter says the paymaster
and marines were marched through
the streets two blocks then back to
their boat and released"

ELL UNDER THE WHEELS?

Des Moines, April 1O.-Herbert
j. Zimmerman, thought to be a stu.
dent at the Iowa State college at
Ames, was instantly killed last night
| by Rock Island train at Second
street and the Rock Island tracks.
The body was found by Conductor
c. J. O'Neil as he was walking to
the rear of his train after closing a
switch. No witnesses to the accident
were found last night. 1t is thought
that the young man had attempted
to board the train after it had left
the station. His body, which was
terribly mangled, was taken to the
Dunn undertaking parlors.
The train which is thought to
have caused the accident had left
the Rock Island station eastbound.
According to Conductor O'Neil, it
was moving at slow rate of speed
as it was necessary to switch onto
the main line track before leaving
the yards. 1t was after he had clos
ed the switch and was on his way
to the rear end of the train when
he discovered Zimmerman's body ly-
ing across the track. A car belong
ing to the Fort Dodge, Des Moines
e Southern was standing near the
crossing and it is thought that this
may have obstructed a view of the
oncoming train.
Engineer Margrum and Fireman
johnson both say that the young
man was not struck by the engine.
An examination of the track indicat-
ed that the man first came under the
wheels at point ten feet east of the
sidewalk crossing. From this point
the body was dragged to the center
of the street.
In pocketbook found in the
mans coat was membership ticket
to the Y. M. c. A. at Ames, and also
a meal ticket at the Iowa cafe. Sew
eral street car tickets on the Ames
college line were found in his pos
session. A receipt from the United
States Express company bearing the
name Of w. F. Zimmerman, Kenil-
worth, ILL.,, indicated that his home
was in that place. References to
several engineering firms were
,ound among his possessions, and it
S thought he is student in the en-
department.
The body gives the appearance of

Xix or seven inches tall and weigh

POLICIES OUTLINED
BY Dr. WTHYCOMDE
Primary Law Endorsed, Econ.
Omy Urged and Rural DeveI-
opment Advocated.

In statement issued at Medford
Thursday, DR.. James Withycombe, Re
publican direct primary nominee for
governor outlines the policies and
ideals of state government to which
he adheres as an aspirant for the of
flee OF chief executive. The statement,
in effect, is a platform and in it he
discloses fully and unmistakably his
stand on the vital issues of the cam
paign The statement follows:
"As the Republican direct primary
nominee for governor of Oregon, |
wish to address to the people of the
state brief general outline of those
ideals of state government which it is
my ambition to put into effect and
which moved me to become candi-
date for the high office of governor.
Aim is to Tighten Burden.
"At the outset | am going to name
economy in the administration Of state
affairs. Not economy at the expense
of efficiency, bat economy as a part
of efficiency. 1t is my firm belief that
the present burden placed upon
the taxpayers of Oregon is out of all
proportion to the taxable wealth of

the state. The burden has become
CALLING, particularly at this time, and
it will be my aim to tighten this load.
1t can be done. 1t must be done.
Eliminate extravaganza in state af-
fairs, administer the affairs of state
on sane, business-like basis and the
harvest will be tens of thousands of
dollars saved to the people who foot
the bills
ut is hardly necessary for me to
say that rural development is mat
ter of the greatest possible Importance
to the state. Our wealth and prosper
ity have their foundation in farmer
and producer. Encouragement and co.
operation must be given to the men
who till the soil and develop that
wealth which is reflected in every in.
dustry and in which each and every
citizen shares.
Needs Of Oregon Known.
"In this connection | believe | ap-
preciate and understand fully the
needs Of Oregon, the richest of states
in natural resources During the 43
years Of my residence in Oregon there
is no part of Oregon whose resources,
industries and special needs | am not
thoroughly in touch with. For Is
years, as a member of the Agricultural
College faculty, practical and scien-
tific agriculture have occupied a con-
siderable share of my interest and
activity.
THE building of good roads is an
other matter the importance of which
must not be lost sight of. 1t is un-
necessary to dwell upon the value and
Importance of good roads in the de-
velopment of Oregon. The working
out OF a network OF good roads will
add to the welfare and prosperity not
only Of the farmer, but OF every one
OF US, since the prosperity of the farm
er is reflected to the state at large.
/. Construction Cost a Factor.
"Of equal Importance is the cost OF
constructing these roads, cost which
may grow out of proportion to the
value OF specified road. There must
be an equable method OF placing the
cost OF good roads, and above all
there must be insisted upon a system
Of highway construction which will
give = dollars worth Of read fer every
dollar expended.
