ANSWERS
MONDELL'S ATTACK

(BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD)
(By United Press Staff Correspondent
Vera Cruz, May 28.-W. w. Canada,
the American consul at Vera Cruz,
whom Representative Mondell bitterly
attacked in Congress on April 9th
for sending alarming reports about
the situation of Americans in Mexico,
calculated to furnish reasons for in
tervention in Mexico, is an Indiana
politician.
During his sixteen year stay in
Vera Cruz he has absorbed some
thing of the Mexican idea of official
dom and he has for many years been
something of ruler in the American
colony in the city. There was never
any gentleness about his rule, either;
whenever he had anything to say to
Americans he sent the information out
in the form of orders.
"All Americans must positively
leave Vera Cruz at once -
W. w. Canada was a notice whic
he posted up about the streets of the
city recently when he thought that
the city might soon be crowded by
refugees.
"Anybody who criticizes President
Huerta in this office will be immed-
lately removed" is another sign he
once posted in the consulate.
When he was criticized for this on
the grounds that it was sign which
might be seen in the office of any
Mexican official, he changed the siga
to include criticism of President Viii
son.
"Mondell went after Bryan harder
than he went. after me-" said Consul
Canada, after he had read an Amer
lean paper containing a report OF
MondelPs criticism. "You know some
body's always been after me, all my
life.

old and rye held political jobs ever
since Somebody's always been try
ing TO get me, but I've always had
little majorities in my favor. You
know, back in Indiana, when | was a
boy, ] discovered that you always
find the most clubs under the trees
that have the best fruit, and a lot
Of clubs have been thrown at me-"
About the first words the bootblacks
Of Vera Cruz learned from Americans
were swear words. 1t is the custom
Of the little fellows to interrupt the
conversations of plaza diners by of
fering their services or wares and not
to depart until the diners order them
to go, with the word, "vamoos."
When the soldiers came the pestilen-
tial little chaps very soon picked up
the phrase "Get the hell out of here"
and, within few days, when a Gus
toner tried to tell them, in decent
phrases, that they were not wanted,
the boys, in departing, would say "get
the hell out of here" evidently think
ing it meant "goodby." "All right
was the phrase they picked up next.
Maryland, My Maryland" of all the
tunes which the American military
bands played in the plaza, soon be-
came the most popular among Mex
leans. Mexico has its song crazes.
just as the United States has and, at
the time of the American invasion.
Vera Cruz, Mexico City and other
Mexican metropoli were mad about
two new pieces Marietta and "Sera-
phina"
In Vera Cruz, however, "Maryland,
My Maryland soon took the place
in popularity of the other two hits.
Small boys whistled it; it was played
on pianos in private houses and Mex
lean orchestra leaders borrowed copies
of it from the American bandsmen
to reproduce with pen and ink for
their players.
1t is no uncommon sight, now, to
see half a dozen orchestra men gath
cred around pen and ink copy of
Maryland, My Maryland" all playing
from the same sheet, and all playing
well, to the delight of their hearers.

OLD MAN SUICIDES.
Found Hanging from a Tree On His
Grandson's Farm.

Mr.. Kaiser, aged 81 years, father
of Mrs. Gotleib Abraham, Sr., resid-
ing in the west part of the city,
committed suicide some time last
night. He had been living with his
daughter curing the winter and a
few days ago went to the farm
home of his grandson, Gotleib Alb
raham, Jr., three miles southwest of
Ramona, on a visit. Yesterday af-
ternoon he spent some time in RAJ
mona, and bought a bali of twine
similar to that used in tying express
packages. He returned to the farm
and retired at the usual hour. This
morning he was missing from his
room, and a search being made he
was found hanging from a tree
some distance from the farm house
in a grove. He had used the twine
by tying it to the branches in the
top of the tree, and then tying ii
about his neck had jumped off into
eternity. The tree selected for the
purpose was a white ash about four
inches in diameter.

thorize the payment of the policy
and instituted nationwide search for
the missing man. Members of the
order recently received a tip that a
nan answering Wagner's descrip-
ton was in a Kansas town. and Nit
chell Cox and j. A. Ward, members
OF the Sioux Falls lodge, who are
well acquainted with the missing
man, were sent to Kansas to investi-
gate.
After some difficulty they were
confronted by a man whom they, af-
ter a close inspection, knew as Wag-
ner. He at first denied his identity.
but finally weakened and admitted
1t. While in the Kansas town the
two Sioux Falls men also secured in
formation which will enable the de-
serted wife in Sioux Falls to make
her husband atone for abandoning
her, for they discovered that Wag-
ner has raised another family in the
Kansas town and that he is holding
a position which pays him a salary
of 5000 per month.
Further developments in the case
are expected at an early date, and it
is possible that Wagner will be pros
ecuted on the charge of bigamy and
may be brought back to Sioux Falls
on the charge of wife ~desertion.
