LEGIsLATURE DID GREAT WORK.

From the Snow Hill Messenger.
The Legislature which has Just ad-
journed, has the reputation Of passing
more good laws than any Legislature
for a decade.
There was considerable criticism
when the Legislature of 1914 first or
ganized because of the lavish employ
ment Of subordinates, but aside from
this extrava CANT procedure, the work
Of the Maryland lawmakers has been
more than acceptable to the people.
For the first time in our recollec-
tion the entire press of Baltimore
city-Democratic, Republican and In
dependent-unites in praise OF the
work of the Legislature. The Balti-
more News independently says:
"It carried out substantially the
promises of the Democratic platform.
There we're, Of course, many minor
measures of a commendable nature
enacted, but the big reforms we're the
home rule amendment, the working
mems compensation law, the tax COM
mission law. the state roads law, the
health laws and the penal reform
bills"

RECALL MYSTERIOUS
CRIME BY MOVE
FOR A PARDON

Cambridge. Mass, May 1.-THE
murder of Annie Mullins in March,
1908. one of the most mysterious
crimes with which Middlesex county
authorities have had to deal, is re-
called by movement to secure the
pardon of James Mantir and Peter C.
Delorey, convicted of the murder. Dis
trict Attorney William ]. Corcoran an
nounced yesterday that an investga-
ton had satisfied him of the innocence
of the young men and that he would
ask Governor Walsh to give them their
liberty. Mantir is serving a life term
and Delorey was sentenced to 20 years
Imprisonment.
The body of the young woman. who
was employed as maid by Professor
Won Jagerman of Harvard, was found
in a field in Arlington. Her throat had
been cut. 1t was not until year later
that the authorities secured enough
evidence to warrant an arrest. Delorey
made a confession to the police I'M
plicating Mantir, but later declared
that it had been forced from him by
the police. Mantir was convicted OF
second degree murder and Delorey OF
manslaughter.
At the trial the prosecutor. was DIST
Atty. John j. Higgins. Mr.. Corcoran
succeeded him in Office last fall.

Brothers on Way to Waterville

while at TERRA Amarillo we were
bothered by Generals Blanco and
Aguila and paid tribute of $4,000 pc

American money equals to about $500.
After the fight at Vera Cruz and the
landing of American sailors, the Fed

from Consul Miller to leave at once.
My brother and l. along with three
others, started early in the morning OF

Vera Cruz. MAY 11.-Emilio Rabasa,
Augustin Rodriguez and Luis Elguero,
the three peace commissioners ap-
pointed by Provisional President
Buerta to represent him at the Mag
ara Falls conference, who sailed late
today for Havana en- route to Key
West. are clothed with full powers,
nominally at least, to sign any agree
ment or convention
The Mexican Senate in a resolution
approving Huerta's nominations of the
three commissioners, conferred full
power and ample authority to judge,
counsel, carry on business and sign
any agreement or treaty whatever.
Question Authority
Many prominent Mexicans here,
however, are not inclined to regard
their broad authority as real. Others
believe that Huerta has instructed the
commissioners to place no insur-
mountable objections to a suitable ad-
justment of the difficulties with the
United States, believing that the fail
ure of he negotiations might result
in pushing American Intervention,
which they feel would not unite fac
lions but force Huerta to fight alone,
1t is the general opinion here that
Huerta entertains no fears of an ad-
vance of the American forces until
after the South American diplomats
have concluded their work. This the
ory is supported by reports brought
by Americans arriving from Mexico
City. who say that General Mas Is
evidently only holding outposts for
observation and that he is not con-
centrating or entrenching his force te
resist an advance.
Those skeptical of the good faith Of

That the Mexican Federals and Con-
stitutionafsts rob and threaten Amer
leans and foreigners in the revolution
rent republic to the south of the Unit
ed States is the statement of Robert
III. Caller, former Worcester Tech
student and local resident, who with
his brother William recently escaped
from TERRA Amarillo to Tuxpan Bar
after many thrilling experiences. The
Caller brothers, who have been VS.
iting friends in Worcester, have left
for their parents new home in Wat
erville, Me-, but previous to their de-
parture gave a review of their expe-
riences in Mexico amid fusilades from
insurrectos. with whom they had sew
eral running fights.
The two brothers were employed by
the Eagle Oil Co, an English concern,
operating oil wells in the interior OF
Mexico and when word came from
Consul Miller at Tampico to fee for
their lives, they started on III
mile trip through unknown country,
eluding mounted rebels and FEEDER
ais.
Robert and his brother William
claim they wandered for three days
and two nights. during which time
they had several battles with small
bodies of rebels, one resulting in Will
liam being shot in the leg, leaving a
bad wound.

Vera Cruz Rejoicing in New Life

Venturing to Mexico City has result

military authorities are determined
not to be embarrassed because of the
Americans venturing into dangerous
territory and only those having ur-

pass from the city into the interior.
No obstacle, however. will be placed in
the way of Mexicans wishing to tray-
ell either in or out of NeVra Cruz.

The city is humming with new life

ception of distributions into the inte-
fior General Funston is encouraging
all activities, offering transportation
to the interior, but merchants inland
50 far have not availed themselves OF

BlueJackets from the American and

booths have sprung up along the pier,
where natives are selling soft drinks
to the men who few weeks ago swept
through the city under fire. An effect
of the daily concerts by military
bands is that popular American airs
are finding their way into the cafes,
where the native orchestras attempt
their rendition with weird effects OF
time and harmony.
