TRAMPS KILL
STATION AGENT
Struck Down at His Desk, He Fights
Until Shot--Their Loot Is
Only S17.

Tappan. n Y, May 22.-Burglars held
lup Clyde Hotalling, ticket agent and
night telegraph operator of the West
Shore railroad, in the station here, at
an early hour yesterday, and when he
attempted TO escape after flashing the
alarm over his wire to Haverstraw, they
shot him dead
The highwaymen, of whom there wet
seven or eight, looted the money drawer
and secured Sl7 but Hotalling by hold
ing them off for few minutes while he
telegraphed for help kept them from
taking any of the valuables or money
out of the station safe. 1t contained
$500 and valuable jewelry.
By refusing to surrender at once the
brave operator drew the fire of the re-
volvers and the fusillsde of shots that
followed aroused the neighborhood
The robbery and murder occurred at
2 o'clock. Hotalling was all alone in his
little Office, the nearest person to him
being a switchman in a shanty some
distance away. Thirteen miles away in
the station at Haverstraw the telegraph
operator nHu UeH ldtkluE over the wire
with the Tappan operator just to while
away the dismal hours before the dawn
when operators are most lonely. Tap
pans ocular messages were suddenly
cut short and the Haverstraw man was
stunned when there was flashed over the
wire:
Robbers are trying to get into the
stationl"
Repeat, repeatl" clicked back Haver-
straw. 'Do you mean it"
No answer came from Tappan and the
Haverstraw man pounded frantically on
his key. Suddenly Tappan broke in
again with:
They are going to shoot. Send
help k"
The staecato appeal broke off abrupt
~, and that was the last Haverstraw
could get, A few seconds later Haver-
straw was sending the alarm far and
wide.

VILLAS HANDS
AGAIN in BLOOD
Hard for U. S. to Explain
Execution of Federal
General
SPAIN GETS ANXIOUS
ABOUT REBEL THREAT
Foreign Office at Madrid
Has Many Claims Be
cause of Outrages

Washington, May 22.-General Fran
cisco villa, second chief of the Mexican
constitutionalists, has again SPILLED the
beans"
Once again, according to dispatches
which reached Washington yesterday
morning from Juarez, he has dipped his
hands in blood just at time when
everything is moving smoothly in the
campaign of the Washington government
to extol him as hero and savior Of
the rights of the downtrodden Mexican
poems.
In short according to these reports,
Villa, after a victory over the fedeTals
at Zertuche, captured detachment OF
the federal army under General Ozorno,
and promptly executed that general and
his entire staff of 80 officers.
Secretary Bryan, perturbed by the re.
port, was early at the White House yes
terday morning and had long and ear
nest talk with the president. He left
the presidents office hurriedly, declining
to answer questions.
May Expel All Spaniards.
While the reported execution of the
prisoners by Villa has shocked the adj
minstration, even more disturbing is the
news reaching here from the same quar-
ter to the effect that Villa had an
nounced his determination to expel all
Spaniards from Mexico as soon as the
constitutionalists have overthrow Huer-
ia, and to put to death those of that
nationality in Mexico City whom he has
marked as enemies of "the cause"
On numerous occasions the state de-
partment has had to plead with Car.
rama and Villa to respect the lives and
properties of Spaniards at Torreon. Chi
huahua and other cities captured by the
rebels.
Sometimes these prayers have been
needed and sometimes not. At any rate
the foreign office at Madrid has piled up
a lot of claims to be adjusted after the
war is over.
As patron of the rebel cause the
United States will, to a certain extent,
The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1914-05-22

be morally bound to effect a settlement
of these claims.

Spain in Sympathy with Huerta.
Spain has long eyinced sympathy
toward General Huerta and the present
regime in Mexico. When diplomatic re-
| lations were finally broken off between
Washington and Mexico City the Span
ish ambassador here, Senior Riano, took
over the interests of the Mexican provi-
sional government.
When the Huerta delegates to the Nj
agara Falls conference passed through
Washington Ambassador Riano enter
tanned them layishly at dinner at the
embassy.
Yesterday morning the ambassador
was at the state department early with
representations, it is understood, regard
ing the reported intention of Villa to-
ward the Spaniards.
Despite the denials from Huerta that
he had instructed his delegates at Nj
agara Falls to concede his elimination
from the provisional presidency under
certain conditions the White House still
believes that Huerta will get out.
Significance is attached to the fact
that when one of the Huerta delegates
at Niagara Falls was told of the first
report that Huerta would get out he in
dicated that while he did not expect
such an announcement at this time it
was no surprise to him.
The question of war or peace will be
settled within 10 days. This is the be-
lief at both the White House and the
state department. The United States
commissioners to the mediation confer.
ence have already made public that this
governments irreducible minimum de-
mand is the unconditional retirement of
Huerta. If that comes about all well
and good.
Once again, according to dispatches of
Huerta. If that comes, we'll and good.
Then they will take up the next step.
Ii it does not, they will come back here,
mediation will be at an end and it will
be up to President Wilson to determine
his next aggressive step.
Meanwhile, however, the administra-
ton continues confident that mediation
is to succeed. The measures taken have
all been precautionary. They may have
been useless, but so far as Secretary of
War Garrison was concerned he early
that if war was to come he
would have no repetition of the days of
1898, when hundreds of lives were sacri-
feed to disease because of unprepared-
ness. If the armed forces of the United
States take the field this time they will
do so in better condition than ever be-
fore in their history.
The war department now has evidence
that Private Parks was executed by the
federals. But the fate of Consul Sill
man remains as before a dense mystery
that will probably not be cleared until
Villa and his forces take Saltillo. There
is no disposition on the part of ofiicialdom
to take any action in either instance
pending the decision of the mediation
conference. 1t may bring about res
toration of peace that will obviate any
action, but If not either outrage would
furnish an excellent vehicle for drastic
action by the United States.

the Brigham academy nine is one of the
real contenders for the stated nterschol-

MOUNTAIN LIONS ARE

FORT COLLINS, Colo, May 49,
Mountain lions are spreading destruc-
tion among the elk recently imported
from Wyoming into Estes Park. For
est Supervisor Wheeler of this place
has received word that the forest
rangers and local ranchmen are or
ganizing to hunt down the big cats.
The mountain lion is a pertinacious
beast, and after he has once taken q
kill from q herd, he will camp or
the trail of that bunch until he has
killed all.
Tracks found by the forest rangers
show that there is one unusually large
lion which is doing most of the mis-.
chief.

THE FIRST WHO FELL AT VERA
CRUZ,

(By Grantland Rice.)
He has come back home, asleep,
Yet, within his resting place,
From the outer darkness deep,
Loves pale lilies hide his face;
And beneath blue summer skies,
Where he dreams below the sod,
But single rosebud lies
Now between his heart and God.
From the day-gleam to the night
He has passed, and yet afar
He has found greater light
Than We know from sun or star;
He has found a rarer CLEAN
Where no weary tears may blur,
He will know sweeter dream
Where the wind-blown grasses stir
He has come back home, asleep,
With the flag above his face;
With the starry fold to keep
Guard above his resting place;
And beneath blue summer skies,
Where he dreams below the sod,
But single rosebud lies
Now between his heart and God.

MExICANS PUZZLED OVER
ATTITUDE OF u. 8. TROOPS

VERA. CRUZ, Mex. May ls.-(By
Mail. .)-Mexicans still are puzzled
over the attitude of the United States
troops here. They can't quite figure
the answer. Not a man jack of them
but was certain that with occupation
of this seaport by hostile troops
would come the pillage and looting
that generally marks capture or TAX
ing of city or town by Mexican
soldiers. They have become used to
this procedure during the four or FIVE
years of revolutions and uprisings.
They were vastly amazed, therefore,
when the American troops not only
did not follow up their occupation
with disorders. but actually made
Vera Cruz safer and more pleasant
to live in than at any time in the
city's history.
Thess Mexicsns down here simply
could not understand it when the Am
erican troops cared for the wounded
Mexicans as tenderly as they cared
for their own wounded. They could
not understand when, after q really
wonderful exhibition of two-handed
fighting prowess, the youthful ma.
rines and jsckiss, rs soon as some
semblance of order was established,
went calmly about the work Of feed
ing the women and children Of the
men at whom they had SO recently
been shooting.
The Mexicans laughed scoffngly
when they were told that the marines
and sailors would not Immediately at
tack General Mas, the federal gen.
eral. and march on Mexico City. When
the Americans didn't, again they could
not quite get II.
"Oh, but welt until the regeular
troops arrive Under your Gen. Funs-
