MEXICANS AS SEEN
AT BULL FIGHTS
(BY N. C. PARKE)
written for the United Press

(WrlICeH 1Or CHe OHlCeu TTeSS)
Juarez, Mexico, May 28.-(By mail
to New York)-If the good ladies of
Juarez held ladies' aid society meet
ings or did the family darning on
Sunday afternoons, choice lot of
matadors, picadoras, banderillos and
capeadoros might be otherwise engag-
ed as bartenders, BARRIERS or cobblers.
It's the feminine fans in Juarez who
furnish the "velvet," otherwise known
as the profits, at the weekly bull
fights. In no city in Mexico, accord
ing to prominent bull-fght promo
ter, do women form quite as large
number of the Sunday afternoon
crowds that watch the bloody sport as
in this border town. And it is only
ffteen-minute ride by street car to
Ell Paso, Tex, where the above men,
toned ladies' aid societies and darn
ing circles hold forth on Sunday aft
ernoons.
A third of the crowd that saw five
bulls tormented to death, horse torn
to pieces and a matador severly gored
by maddened bull on a recent Sun
day in the Juarez bull ring, was made
up of women. They came very early
and stayed very late, because-accord-
ing to the posters-it was all being
done "in honor Of the great General
Francisco Villa"
The Juarez amphitheater, like most
others, is divided into two sections
"sombra" and "sol," or "Shade and
SUM-" On the sombra side. where the
price of q seat was two pesos, sal
the elite of Juarez, tourists from El
Paso hotels and military officers from
the cuartel. There were so many OF
the military on the sombra side that
you got the impression they were
"dead-heads." On the sunny side were
grouped the poems, the women of the
lower classes, and about as many
youngsters as were occupying the
bleachers at the ball game over ir
Ell Paso.
Ranged along the first tiers of seats
that swung in semicircle closest tt
the scene of gore, were the senoritas
of Juarez, pretty, dark-eyed, slender
figures, whose steps earlier in the day
had haen devoutlv directed To the lit.
tie white mission behind the centra
plaza. But having said their morning
prayers, they were there applaudine
with little gloved hands the torture
Of the horses and the spilling Of blooo
in the arena.
Babies were there, too--at least Q
score of them, sleeping in the arms Of
tired-looking mothers. When the fight
grew tame and the groggy bull drag,
ged himself wearily about the ring

Washington, June 8.-Officialdom
sighed with relief today upon the an
nouncement that Huerta had counter
manded the order for blockade of Tam
pico. The news was brought to the
state department by Spanish Ambas-
sador Riano, who is representing HUI
erta here during the breach in diplo-
matte relations. He said Huerta Of
iered no reason for the change of
course. 1t is known, however, that
all the mediators were bringing strong
pressure to prevent Huerta doing any,
thing to endanger the success of the
negotiations. The assumption is that
the ENJOYS persuaded him not to take
G step which would make another
break inevitable.

CITY TREASURER
HAS BOND FIXED

The bond of Thomas Bath, who
handles the finances of the city in an
ex-officio capacity, was fixed by the
city council last Monday night at
$4,000. Mr.. Bath appeared before
the city fathers, and requested that
the amount of security that he would
be required to furnish as city treasur
be designated. +.
When the law was passed by the
legislature in 1909 making the coun-
ty treasurer custodian of the city's
financial resources, a bond was given
in the sum of $4,000 by Treasurer
A. S. Leahigh.
