HOMELESS army
DEMANDING FOOD
FROM SACRAMENTO
City and County Authorities Refuse
to Furnish Unemployed Men
With Supplies.

Sacramento, CAL, March ga de-
mand for food was made upon the
city yesterday by $500 unemployed
men who are here planning to con-
tinue their march to Washington,
D. C.
City and county authorities have
definitely decided that no more food
will be supplied the men. When
they began arriving in divisions sew
eral days ago, they were given sup
plies of -four and other necessities.
General Kelley, in command,
said the men were becoming desper-
ate from hunger, and that if food
was not furnished them by today he
could not control them any longer.
When the men made camp, hav-
ing arrived here in trains furnished
by Benicia and other towns near
San Francisco to get rid Of them,
there were two factions, Kelley's
men and seceders. The factions re-
united yesterday, with Kelley in
Offers of transportation to San
Francisco, from which city the men
started, were made yesterday by
citizens committee, but only a few
men accepted.

ed the river into Mexico on mess
age from three federal soldiers that
Capt. Apolino Rodriguez, of the HI
dalgo garrison, wished to settle for
eleven horses taken from Vargara's
island pasture in the Rio Grande.
Mrs. Vergara pleaded with her
husband not to risk seizure by the
Mexicans, but disregarding her
warnings, he crossed the river in
company with his young nephew.
Mrs. Vergara since has told how she
saw her husband assaulted by the
waiting soldiers and after being
knocked unconscious, carried off.
Vergara's nephew, at the time of
the attack on his uncle, escaped and
hid in the brush until he could re-
cross the river.
On the following day, Mrs. YER
CARA went in search of her husband
and found him in the Hidalgo jail.
So far as known there was no charge
against him. He had been cruelty
beaten, according to the wife. She
dressed the wounds, she said, and
remained with him until forced to
leave. That was the last time she
ever saw him alive, for early next
morning he was taken from the Jail,
supposedly to be transferred to Pie
dras Negras, and disappeared.
When a search was begun for the
missing American, it was learned
that a man had been shot and his
body hanged to a tree outside Of Hi
dalgo early Sunday morning, Feb.
Is, and the body left hanging for
several days.
Soon after United States Consul
Garrett at Nuevo Laredo, Mexico,
started inquiries, the body was re-
moved and fresh grave was MOTTO
ed in the old Hidalgo cemetery. 1t
finally was determined by American
investigators that he had been exc
cuted. Persistent denial was made
by the Mexican federals, however,
and prior to this General Alvarez,
commander at Piedras Negras, had
promised American Consul Blocker
at Piedras Negras that Vergara
would be released and his captors
called to account. .,sq,ss ~

.hree men were arrested.

Lnree MEL were arrested. 80
Among those arrested was Miss
Zelie Emerson of Jackson, Mich.
Miss Emerson has been arrested sew
ereal times for participation in suf-
fragette demonstrations, and re-
Gently there were rumors that steps
were being taken by the British gov
eminent to deport her as an unde-
sirable alien. Replying Feb. 26 to q
question as to whether this report
was true, Reginald McKenna, the
home secretary, asserted no such
steps were being taken.
Yesterday afternoon several wom-
en- and men had marched ia process
sion to the square, to attend a meet
ing of the Mems Federation for
Woman Suffrage. Sylvia Pankhurst,
who for some weeks had been hid
ing from the police, arrived in the
square in a taxicab to deliver a
speech, but detectives surrounded
the cab and started it for Holloway
Jail before the militants realized
what was happening.
The militants surged toward the
government buildings in Whitehall
with the suffrage banner borne aloft,
until Gordon of mounted police
barred their way. Some of the wom-
en- assailed the police with short
sticks, but they were soon dispersed.

State University Soldiers to Pre-

Huerta.
WILL MARCH TO WEST LIBERTY
Lieutenant Phinney in Charge of
Arrangements for Ma
neuVerS.

Iowa City, March GLOW to fight
in Mexico will be taught the Univer-
sity of Iowa regiment when it holds
it's annual camp the middle of May.
West Liberty will be converted in
to the Mexican border, and for
three days the 500 student soldiers
will imagine that they are in the
south.
Lieut.. Robert T. Phinney, the uni
versity commandant, plans to give
the most practical instruction posi-
BILE to the six companies which will
make up the camp. Although the
dates have not been definitely set,
it is probable that the regiment will
march to West Liberty on Sunday,
May II, and continue in camp until
Wednesday morning, May 20, thus
giving the student soldiers ample op-
portunity to receive full instruction
about Mexican warfare.
"In placing our camp, We will do
our best to approximate the field
conditions in Mexico" said Lieuten-
ant Phinney, in outlining the plans
for the annual encampment. 1--WE
are planning to give extensive in
struction in field problems.
The student regiment at the Uni
versity of Iowa is the largest in the
history of the institution, and it will
take almost $50 tents for the
soldiers.

tent in saying that they have nothing
to offer.
The Southern Pacific Company has
agreed to take our per cent bonds
at par in payment. Some opposed to
the district have said that the South
ern Pacific would not take the bonds,
but the fact remains that the South
ern Pacific has never disavowed its
agreement with our board to do so and
we do not believe that it will repudi-
ate the agreement at this late date,
but, on the contrary, will faithfully
fulfill its part of the contract with
as reasonable dispatch as IS consistent
with deal of this magnitude.
The ability of the Irrigation Dis
trict to own that part of the prop
orty lying is Mexico is being provided
for by an amendment to the state con-
stitution which will unoudbtedly be
adopted at the general election, No
vember 3, and which will appear upon
the ballot as "Amendment No. 30"
Had this amendment not been pro-
posed, there is and would have been
nothing seriously in the way of our
acquiring and holding the property
equally as securely as it is now being
held by the Southern Pacific COM
pany. Public ownership is therefore
practically within your grasp and we
confidently believe that all the de-
tails will be worked out and the prop
erty transferred to the district within
q very short time after the bonds are
authorized.
Every step that has been taken in
reaching the present stage of progress
has been taken with care and delib-
Grafton, nothing done hastily or il
legally, so when the bonds are au-
thorized there will be no question as
to their value and legality. The same
care will be exercised in the future as
has been in the past and you may de-
Iend upon your board to see to it

Of Directors of the Imperial Irriga-

10000 of which is to be used in

furnished to lands of said district,
known as the California Development
Company system, and $5OO,OOO of said
bonds to be used only when necessary
for emergency protection as against

Complying with said request, the
board did, on the 9th day of Octo-

the 10Th day of October, 1914, as the
date for holding said election.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
