FORD, THE PITCHER,
HELD VISITORS SAFELY
Rain Interfered with Game
and But Small Crowd
Was Present

The "old calcimine" was applied to the
lads from the Vermont institute of agri-
culture of Randolph Center by the God
dard seminary baseball team yesterday
afternoon, final research of the tally
shet revealing ii to 0 victory for the
seminary team, which added another to
it's long list Of victories over Vermont
preparatory schools this season.
The weather forecast previous to the
game was inauspicious. When the hour
arrived for the commencement of the
game a crowd of the same dimensions
that has characterized all games in Barre
this spring were scattered through the
bleachers. During the initial inning
there was a pluvial outburst that caused
Umpire Davidson to announce sus-
pension of play. The players repaired
to shelter within the shadows of the
seminary buildings and there remained
for upwards of an half hour before the
indicator holder summoned the players
to resume their positions. The heavy
rain rendered the playing conditions of
the field anything but pleasant and in
the presence of bakers dozen the life
of the bout fingered along for a small
two hours.
The nine lads representing the little
institute where the science of soil tick
ling is instilled into the coming Vermont
generation proved to be weak combina-
ton and failed to uphold all the nice
things that have been said of the ag-
gregation this season. But one inning
sufficed to show the relative strength of
the two teams. After the first inning
it was apparent that only time would
tell the Goddard total. The Vermont
Aggies were never dangerous and, in
fact, were never approaching the scoring
zone. Backed by excellent support,
Pitcher Ford was master of the situa-
ton and easily disposed of his oppo-
nents. His control, was perfect, not hit
ting batter nor passing lone man.
Baird, the Vermont pitcher, was no eng
ma to the Goddard sluggers, who hit at
will.
Goddard started scoring in the first in
ming, when a drizz!ing rain held sway.
Deyo opened with hit to center. He
made third when Buchanan allowed the
ball to roll to deep center. Deyo scored
on Gray's hit. Gray went to third on
Wits double to center. "Bill" Bailey
brought both runners home with two
play hit into right field, down near the
end of the maple grove.
In the fourth Goddard swelled its col
umn with quartet of runs. Hastings
hit for two sacks with one down. Fitch
hit to the pitcher. BY a sensational
burst of speed, Hastings beat Baird's
throw to third Fitch then stole second.
Ford assisted his teammates by doubling.

had reached third on the throw in scored

Huerta Meekly Submits to
His Army Chief at
Door of Prison
TROUBLED CAPITAL
PUTS UP BARRICADES
Shops Boarded Up in An
ticipation of Fighting
in the Streets

Vera Cruz, May 26.-With Genera
Banquet, minister of war, openly defy,
ing General Huerta and the dictator
meekly submitting, while business
houses in the capital are barricaded, for
eigners in Mexico City sent word here
yesterday that they believed Huerta
might not last through the week.
The break between Huerta and his
war minister came with the discovery
of an alleged plot against the provisional
president on Saturday. Almost beside
himself with rage when he discovered
that his subordinates were in league
against him, Huerta hurried to Belein
penitentiary, where 100 political prison
ers Were confined, and ordered their ex-
ecution.
He told the jailer to lead the 100, sus-
pected of connection with the plot, out
side and shoot them against the wall.
The prison keeper secretly telephoned
to Banquet, who was in bed. The war
minister went post haste to the peniten-
tiary in an automobile. He called
Huerta outside and then ordered the
prisoners returned to their cells.
"You must stop this killing of your
supposed enemies if you want me to
stand by you in this crisis" Banquet
told the dictator, and to the great aston
ishment of the prison officials Huerta
meekly allowed Banquet to countermand
his order for the execution of the pris-
oners and fled to one of his favorite
cafes.
Banquet is said by refugees to be the
man of the hour in Mexico City, and
should a crisis come it is believed that
he will take charge and attempt to send
Huerta out of the country.
Fifteen French cannon have been
placed in Chapultepec castle, where it
is said Huerta will make his last stand
if he is unable to escape.
The situation in the capital is very
intense. Almost all Of the shop win
dows have been boarded up for the last
three days in anticipation of street
fighting. The store doors are ready to
be locked and barricaded on a moments
notice and customers do their shopping
by lamplight.
Terrified by the rumored approach of
General Francisco Villa, Spaniards are
leaving Mexico City by every train. 1t
was learned here yesterday that a party
of 20 Spanish men and women, bound
for Vera Cruz, left the train at Soledad
because they were told that Spaniards
were not wanted in the American lines.
The American army authorities at once
notified the Spanish consul here that
Spaniards are welcome
A report from Mexico City said that
of Agriculture Lusano quit the
cabinet because Huerta discovered that
he was plotting to grant renewal of
the Mexico City street railway lines
franchise without Huerta's knowledge.

DEMAND END OF
COLORADO STRIKE
The Senate Urges a Powerful Investigat-
ing Commission to Probe
the Situation.

Washington, May 26.-Big develop
ments in the Colorado situation may
grow out of the informal conference o.
Senators Kern, Kenyon and MARITIME Oh
Saturday with the wives of Colorado
miners who went through the horrors
OF the strike and saw the desolation anc
tragedy which have resulted.
A movement is on in the Senate to
take up the Colorado situation and pass
a resolution authorizing the selection Of
powerful investigating commission.
Unless President Wilson acts on his
own initiative and names commission
to deal with the Colorado strike in sub
stantially the same way Roosevelt dealt
with the anthracite strike the Senate
will probably take cognizance of it.
Since the wives of the miners depicted
the horrors of the strike and told of
women and babes shot down and of
women and children smothered in pit
where they had taken refuge beneath a
tent, which was set on fire by mine
guards, numerous senators are saying:
This thing must stop. Something has
to be DONE"
Senators Kern, Kenyon and MARITIME
are trying to get the president to deal
with the situation himself and pick a
powerful investigating commission which
would command the attention of the
country, at the same time directing this
commission to use its efforts to bring
about peace.
In order to do this, undoubtedly the
president would have to stretch his au-
thority. just what he has told the SEN
ators who have talked with him about
it is not disclosed Senator Kenyon saw
him yesterday, but declined to make a
statement as to what occurred. 1t is
believed the president hesitates to take
such drastic action as the senators urge.
One of the embarrassments is that the
House has been conducting an investiga-
ton through subcommittee.
A way out of it would be to have both
houses adopt resolution for a commits
sion to be made up of two or more
senators, two or more House members,
and two or more citizens. Ono sugges-
ton is to have member of the SUI
preme court on the commission. This
commission would not only go to the
bottom of the situation, but it would en-
deavor to settle the trouble.
The bitterness Of feeling in the Sem
ute was manifested Saturday when there
we're outbursts of sentiment from va
rious senators against Rockefeller. SEN
stors Kern, Kenyon and MARITIME plan to
have the statements of the wives of
miners who are in the East, Mrs. Jolly,
Mrs. Petrucci and Mrs. Thomas, tran
seribed.

The victims were riding with their
parents Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Luetger, who

Down With Public Dinners |!

From the New York Evening Sun
1t has long been the agreeable habit
of friendly organizations. from the
Sons of st. Patrick to the New Eng
land Society, the Ohio, the Southern
and others. to give occasional dinners
at which they may refresh their spirits
with the familiar dialect which is
grateful in the ears long unuse1 to 1,
and by reminding each other Of what
good place the o d ho.l. Vas md
is. But the old custom has long since
cause of the inordinate attention re-
quired of the diners to a tons a-t
speakers none OF whom has anything
in particular to say. and at the same
time because Of the very Indifferent
quality of the dinner provided. 1t is
no doubt true that the great majority
of persons who go to these dinners do
not know or care what they eat, and
therefore gobble the usually very in
different food set before them and wait
helplessly. for the speakers" Their
own Indifference is much to blame for
the general stodginess. 1t Is encourag-
ing. of course. to observe that the dis
gust with such ~illiness as this has
finally resulted in an explosion which
would do away entirely with the public
dinner. The private dinner. of course
chosen carefully and served to a small
and congenial company. Is one Of the
most honorable and sacred social rites
in the civilized world: men and women
maintain it. But the great machine
made dinner is foolish anomaly to
begin with; nobody but the hotel
keepers, who charge enough to pay for
a much more tempting dinner than
they serve. feels any tenderness for it

Mexican Matters.

The reported attempt to assault an
American naval officer at Vera Cruz
should not unduly excite the fears of
the people of this country regarding
the safety of American officials now in
Mexico. AS yet there is no evidence to
prove that this was actually an assault
upon Lieut.. Cook. He was undoubtedly
shot while riding in carriage. the bullet
passing through the body of the coach
and fortunately infiicting only a slight
wound, but there is nothing 10 lead TO
the positive conviction that a deliber-
ate attempt was made upon his life, al
though that is the first assumption.
Hostility against American officers in
Mexico is a natural result of the present
state of feeling there 1t is indeed re-
markable that Secretary O'Shaugnnessy
and Special Representative Lind have
been thus far so free from molestation
and annoyance. The Mexicans are an
excitable people and il would not have
been surprising if the raising of the en-
barge on arms had melted them to mani
festat.ons of i'll will against the repre-
sentatives of the American government.
Thus far the raising Of the embargo
has not made any apparent difference In
the situation in Mexico. but that 1t will
soon result IN a quickening of the mill
tary activities OF both sides is to be be-
lieved. 1t will of course. take some time
to secure and distribute the arms and
ammunition purchased In the United
States, but when these have been obtain

Roosevelt and New York.

Il the New York progressIves give Mr..
Roosevelt the surprise suggested upon
his return from South America, will he
accept their nomination for Governor of
New York?
Upon his return from Africa four years
ago some OF his friends desired him To
run for governor then. They sa" what
was coming-the break with Taft. and
all 1t implied. But MIR Roosevelt would
not consent. He was suli u republican,
and still openly diseourasing the sugges-
ton OF his name in connection with an
other race for the presidency. So he
conten.ed himself with the chairmansEip
of the republican state convention and
the nomination of personal friend for
governor. The republicans. even with
him as the directing force, lost the cleo
ton.
Things are different now. Mr.. Roose-
welt is no longer a republican. He has
not only broken with that party. but de
nounced ii as unworthy of public conf
dence. He has since made d race for the
presidency as the leader of new party,
and is eager to make another lis
friends are as eager to nominate him
again So that race for the governor
ship of New York on the progressive
ticket this year would be preliminary TO
a race for the presidency in 1915
This would change plans already made
Accord .ng to those plans, Mr.. Roosevelt
is TO be rover this year. He is to
stump for his party wherever there
seems chance for success In state
campaigns and congressional campaigns
he is TO appear as the star progressive,
and appeal for votes for progressive can
dida es.
But if he becomes a candidate himself
he viii have to remain close TO base and
work hard. New York is in a chaotic
condition politically. Badly off as the
democrats are, something may come OF
the effort of Gov. Glynn directed by
President Wilson to reorganize the party
And the republicans are girding for a
struggle. No time, therefore. will be let
to Mr.. Roosevelt if he heads the pro-
Eressive ticket to run about the country
Stumping for others He will have to
obey the first law of nature, and stump
for himself
It would be a gamble, and a big one
Success IN such a state and in such cir
cumstances might mean much both to
Mr.. Roosevelt and his party. 1t would
increase his prestige as third party
leader, and at the same time boost pro
gressive pretensions in other states.
On the other hand. failure would be
depressing both to him and his party
and should the failure be pronounced
with either the democrats or the repub-
lcans victorlous-progressiv as be
expounds and advocates it, might disap-
pear from the equation altogether.
Mr. Roosevelt, as a rule, likes sport

If he does, New York conditions, always
complex and confusing, will become more
puzzling than ever.

ment Mr.. Watterson challenged and de-
feated Mr. German for the chairmanshiI

convention to accept his rather than Mr.
CIevelands plank.
At Chica go in 1892 where Mr.. Watterson
again served as delegate, the national
democratic convention was urged by Mr.
Cleveland 5 representatives to straddle the
tariff question. Again Mr. Watterson OBJ

a tariff for revenue only, and carried the
