MORE TROOPS READY
FOR TRIP TO MEXICO
Transports Ordered to Be in
Readiness to Sail.

Galveston, Tex, May 6.-The Gal
weston water front is humming with
preparations to embark more troops
for Mexico.
Just when the order will come for
the troops to go aboard the four
army transports here is not known at
headquarters, but instructions have
been given to the quartermaster's de-
partment to have the transports load
ed with supplies and ready for sailing
by Friday.
General Davis, in command of the
Second division of the army at Texas
City, has two brigades-the Fourth
and Sixth-ready at the bugle call to
break camp and sail for Vera Cruz.
Secretary Garrison has not desig-
mated which of these infantry organ
iZations will be sent to reinforce Brig
adler General Funston.
The four transports, the Meade,
Sumner, Mcclellan and Fitzpatrick,
scarcely had swung alongside their
piers after their trip from Vera Cruz
when scores of cleaners we're put to
work securing the ships and putting
them in condition to take on more

Is "Inconsistent."
Washington, May 6.-When the
South American mediators on the
Mexican trouble resumed their SEES
sions the field of their work was for
the first time definitely defined as be-
tween the United States and Huerta
and not as between Huerta and Car
rama, although it was still hoped this
might be brought in later, so as to
include the whole range of Mexican
affairs
The text of the note from the me-
dating ENJOYS sent to General Car
rama withdrawing the invitation for
COnstitutionalist representative to
come to Washington to participate in
the mediation, was as follows:
I'VE have received your telegram,
in which you are kind enough to tell
us that you deem it inconvenient for
the Constituencies cause to suspend
hostilities against General Huerta on
the ground that such suspension would
accrue only to the benefit of Huerta,
and in which you declare that the in
ternatlOnal conflict between Mexico
and the United States for whose solu-
ton you accepted our good offices is
Independent of the internal strife in
that country.
inconsistent, They Say.
1--WE consider this unexpected state.
ment as inconsistent with the idea
which caused us to offer our good Of
fees.
I'VE think, indeed, that all the diff
ficulties which have contributed to.
ward the present situation in Mexico
bear either directly or Indirectly on
the solution of the pending conflict
between Mexico and the United
States.
Should you not deem it so, we
would be compelled in that case to
withdraw, as inopportune, our invita-
ton for the appointment of repre-.
sentatives Of the Constitutionalists in
such negotiations.
1--WE beg to assure you of our high
est consideration"
The foregoing was sent in reply to
one from General Carranza outlining
his refusal to enter into agreement to
suspend hostilities against Huerta.
A second message has been re-.
ceived by the mediators from Car
rama in which he specifically asks
them to make definite the terms and
scope of the negotiations before he
proceeded to appoint representatives.

MILLIONAIRE: IS
Slain BY son.
Hiram Duryea, Aged Eighty,
Murdered in Brooklyn.
USES PISTOL AND RIFLE

Return of Previous Mental Breakdown
Only Explanation of the Tragedy.
Patricide Refuses to Give Any Rea-
son for His Act.
New York, May 6.-Hiram Duryea,
aged eighty-one years, retired million
aire starch manufacturer and Civil
war veteran, was murdered at his
home in the Bay Ridge section of
Brooklyn by his son, Chester Duryea.
Seven shots were fired by the son in
to his fathers body, causing instant
death.
The murder occurred on the porch
at the rear of the Duryea home, where
both father and son were in the habit
of sleeping. About / a. m. Chester
Duryea, who is forty-three years old,
slipped from his cot into the house,
where he kept a number of rifles, re-
volvers and shotguns for hunting
purposes. He selected an automatic
pistol and a magazine rife, both of
which he loaded and returned to the
open air porch.
Standing within a few feet of his
father he fired first from the rifle and
then emptied the revolver.
indications of Struggle.
Although servants said that there
had been no quarrel between General
Duryea and his son before they re-
tired for the night an overturned ta-
BILE, a broken screen and books scat
tered about the floor of the sleeping
porch led the police to believe that
Chester had awakened his father and
that struggle had ensued before the
shots were fired.
Duryea would give no reason for
killing his father. For the past few
days, servants told the police, he had
been acting strangely and they feared
a return Of previous breakdown. In
1909, when he showed signs of mental
trouble, his father sought to have him
removed to Bellevue hospital for OBJ
servation; but as he was not violent
this request was refused
At the outbreak of the Civil war
Hiram Duryea organized the Duryea
zouaves and became it's colonel. He
served throughout the war, retiring at
it's close with the rank of brigadier
general.
General Duryea's father was found
er of the National Starch company
and the general succeeded to the pres
idency Of the company. The general
retired from active business life some
time ago.
Had Trouble, He Said.
After the murder Chester Duryea
summoned the police, personally ad-
hitting the detectives on their arrival
1--WE had a little trouble" the de-
tectives say Duryea declared. Then
he began mumbling and complained OF
being faint. He was given a glass of
water and resumed mumbling to him.
self. I'm justified in what I've DONE"
he declared. 1T was all right that
should do it. People will know I did
it,
The detectives said young Duryea
would be quiet for a time and then
would declare Historically:
people will know it, but I'm right"
Chester Duryea's marriage to Nina
Larr,e Smith, daughter of Franklin
Waldo Smith of Boston, in 1898 and
their divorce in 1902 attracted wide
attention. Mrs. Duryea charged that
domestic trouble started on their
honeymoon when her husband dis.
played violent bursts OF temper.

A Fear Proved unfnundsd.

Omaha Bee: When the direct pri-
mary law was first proposed and
adopted the people were warned that
1t would enable the newspaper to
dictate candidates through its infu-
ence upon public sentiment. The pic
ture was drawn of the people abdicat-
ing their rights of self-government in
favor Of the purveyor Of newspaper
publicity inspired by personal likes
and dislikes or aiming at private
profit.
Sufficient experience has now been
mad to prove all these prophecies false
except as the spread Of popular intel
lgence increases the importance Of
the newspaper as a our OF. common
information. The aspirant for public
favor, 1t goes without saying, must
now more than ever submit to the
glare of the searchlight upon his rec
ord. but the people erv the right Of
decision, and there is no menace Of
dictatorship.
Where the newspaper is powerful and
will always be powerful, is in exposing
r~ottenness, corruption and incon-
potency disqualifying for public trust.
When the knowledge that a vigilant
monitor cannot be avoided or evaded
Is thoroughly understood, the vulner-
able candidates for Office will become
fewer. and the standards of public
service raised.

For when all is said and done all
modes originate in Paris.

a special cable Is not likely to find it's
course free from rocks. Either by ac-
cident or design it's first manifesto is
addressed to women of fashion and
young women. thus indicating that
there is a difference. To mere man, of
course, this may not be important, but
womankind, it is safe to assert, will
find q challenge in the unfortunate
phrase and will not be slow an an
swer it.
At any rate. having killed the tango
by needing the ecclesiastical denunci-
of that craze, the originators Of

atoms and eXaggerations is as great

dance.
