After enduring many hardships
and experiencing indignities at the
hands of the Mexicans, John McDer-
mott, an electrician, has returned
from the war ridden country of Mex
leo and is visiting at the home OF his
sister, Mrs. T. J. Daley, at 2S4
State street.
Mr.. McDermott, who is an expert
wireman, was in the employ of the
National Railway of Mexico, and liy-
ed over three and a half years at
Atuacaliente, 500 miles away from
Vera Cruz, the port at which the
scene of the first bloodshed took
place
Inclined at first to slight the state
OF affairs following the first out
break, Mr.. McDermott felt safe, and
assured his relatives In this city that
they need not experience any anxiety
on his account A sudden turn for
the worst then came, and the Mexi-
can governor issued a proclamation
ordering all Americans to fee. Since
an outbreak was melted at that time
by strong sentiment against all
Americans, McDermott took advan-
tage of the opportunity and with
number of companions made for the
port of Vera Cruz. where thousands
of refugees were hocking for the pro-
lection of the United States guns His
tale of the hardships endured by the
refugees and the strong feeling
against everything American In the
country below the Rio Grande is most
interesting; as he claims the reports
of the indignities to which the Unit
ed States flag Is submitted are not
exaggerated.
Leaving beautiful homes and bus
mess interests behind them. the
americans were obliged to fee in or

local harbor yesterday with several
Perth Amboyans aboard feeling
somewhat dismal over the prospects
OF having to remain on the boat for
thlrty-six hours under quarantine at
the orders of DR.. c. w. Naulty.

that the boat intended to dock there

steamer in his power boat, accom-
panied by DR.. Hanson, bill" Haf-

who were pleased to avail themselves
OF the opportunity to take a pleasant
little cruise down the bay. They board
ed the boat, which was being piloted
by Captain Beebe, of the local pilot
office, and it merrily pursued its way
up the bay until the Perth Am
boyans happened to see the quaran-
tine flag raised on the craft. DR..

RESTS WITH BOY
Negro Youth Brought Into Muir
der Trial Today.
Special By United Press Wire.


New York, May 15:-On the word
Of negro boy apparently hangs the
life of Charles Becker, once the czar
OF New York's tenderloin, on trial
for the murder OF Herman Rosenthal,
who 'squealed." James Marshall,
colored, was brought into the case
by Harry Valon, gambler and inform
er, who on direct testimony declared
that Marshall was able to prove
Becker took part with Bald Jack"
Rose, "Bridgie" Webber and Valon
himself, In meeting in Harlem
where Rosenthals death was finally
planned.
While he, Becker, Rose and
Webber held their conference, Valon
said negro boy came up and talked
to Becker. This boy, James Mar
shall, has been found and is being
held by District Attorney Whitman
as his most vital witness
Absolutely unshaken in the main
facts of his story, Valon ended his
ordeal as a witness today
Hour after hour during the morn
ing session Valon stuck to his story
despite the terrific arraignment by
Martin Manton, Becker's chief coun-
sci. When Manton forced Valon to
admit he was a gambler and gener-
ally man of bad morals, Becker,
watchful in his corner, smiled and
glanced at his wife across the court
But when Manton's repeated assaults
brought only repeated affirmation of
the main features of his story, Beck
er's face grew grim.

, gan their work of looting and de-
stroying the property. A number of
his Mexican friends urged him to re-
main with them until the difficulties
blew over, but In order to be assur-
| ed OF his absolute safety he made the
journey to the Mexican seaport, leav-
lag large estate behind him. The
insults to which the Americans are
submitted and the derision in which
| their flag Is held Is enough to make
patriots blood boil, Mr.. McDer-
mott says, and he believes drastic ac-
ton is the only way in which order
can be restored in that country and
restitution made for the property
which has been lost.
On their way to the seacoast the
party passed through Mexico City,
where the feeling of resentment
against the United States is at the
highest pitch. In this city they saw
the MeXicans tear down the statute of
Washington in the market place and
drag it about the streets in derision,
as well as many other sights show
ing their defiant spirit in startling
manner. On reaching Vera Cruz, the
party found the city to be under the
control of the United States marines
and Mr.. McDermott, with a large
number Of other refugees, went on
board the transport steamer Han
cock, arriving at New York Monday
after a trip of seventeen days, made
almost unbearable by the lack of ac-
commodations on the vessel on ac-
count of its crowded condition. Mr..
McDermott, who speaks Spanish, will
make his home now at Perth Amboy
stating that he does not believe
Americans will ever be able to safely
conduct business in Mexico again,
even If martial law restores order
there, on account OF the treacherous

DENY B. & D. COAL
TERMINAL HERE
Rumor Railroad Company Will
be Forced to Leave Stat
en- Island UnfOunded.
WOULD USE LEHIGH LINE

A well defined rumor to the effect
that the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
is contemplating removing it's coal
terminal from St George, S. l., to
this city, was discredited this morn
Ing by General Traffic Agent George
j. Brown, of the Staten Island Rapid
Transit Company, subsidiary of the
.& o. In communication with the
NEWS on the subject, he declared
that he was at a loss to understand
huw such rumor could have origi-
rated. When it was suggested that
it may have arisen following the ac-
tion Of the New York Board of
Health in harrassing the railroad in
compelling it to operate with mini
mum of noise and smoke nuisance,
the latter of which is source of con-
tnual complaint from residents of
the island, the traffic agent declared
this but minor matter, and said he
did not think the action Of the
health board would bring about such
critical condition that the railroad d
would seriously consider removing
Its coal terminal from Staten Island
to this city.
According to the rumor, the Balti-
more and Ohio would use the tracks
of the Lehigh( Valley railroad into
this city and either use the Lehigh's S
pier terminal here, or construct piers
for its own use in the vicinity. Thi,
would require the establishing of a
pier terminal In this city probably
twice the size of the present Lehigh
Valley docks. Then according to to
the rumor, instead of the coal on
the B. & o. being shipped over the
bridge across the Kill Won Kull, or
the upper part Of the Staten Island
sound, 1t would be shipped over the
Lehigh Valley tracks to this city,
which could be easily accomplished.
This would give Perth Amboy access
directly to four big trunk lines, and
wonderfully enhance the shipping
advantages and conveniences of the
city, as If the coal terminal were es-
tablished, freight terminal would
probably be located here also.
