The people in Mexico are engaged
in an internacine war which must
inevitably result in one of two things.
The passing of the Mexican nation.
as such, or a new birth of freedom
for the oppressed and downtrodden
people of that unfortunate country.
The causes which have led up to
the present situation are not of re-
cent origin, it is struggle to right
the accumulated wrongs of 400 years.
The final conquest of Mexico by
Cortez was made possible because of
the character of the Aztec people.
They were warlike, brave, numerous.
But they were superstitious, and ira
dition led them to regard the white
invaders as Gods, Who could with
stand the anger of the Gods them
selves, who called upon the very ele-
ments to smite their enemies, who
made the thunder and lightning their
weapons, who were carried over the
great waters by white winged birds,
whose bodies were more impervious
in their weapons than the armor Of
Achilles, and who were borne upon
the backs of beasts more terrible than
the Cyclops of ancient Greece.
1t was the terror which the super
natural incnirnc in 11noivi1i1ad min 10
that made the conquest possible
The awakening was rude one.
These simple, industrious, trusting
Aztecs discovered that it was not
the gods who had become their mas
tiers, but men, as merciless, uncharit-
able and selfish, as ever oppressed a
conquered people.
For nearly 900 years the Aztecs
were the slaves of their conquerors
They worked the mines, cultivated
the plantations, built the cities and
constructed the roads, while their
masters neither toiled nor spun.
Under these conditions an aristocracy
was built up which heaped burdens
upon the backs of the people beyond
human endurance, until they arose in
open revolt against their masters.
Hidalgo declared as our fathers had
done, that the Mexican people were,
and of right ought to be, free and in
dependent. 1t cost him his life, but
the seed of liberty had been sown,
and Spain was driven from the Ameri-
can continent.
The transition from monarchy to
republic was slow, but gradually made
far better conditions.
Then came the French interven-
ton. Taking advantage of the condi-
ton of war which existed in the
United States. Napoleon sought to es-
tablish an empire in Mexico. Again
the man appeared to meet and over
come the crisis which had arisen.
This man was Benito Juarez, an In
dian of pure descent the greatest
patriot, the greatest statesman, the
country has ever known. His admin
istration was short, but during the
time he served as president he did
more to make secure the liberties of
the people and provide for their
education, than all of his predeces-
sors.
Coming of Diaz
Juarez was followed by Porfirio
Diaz, who seized the government by
force of arms, and dominated it for
nearly forty years. .Diaz did much
for the development of his country
He established schools, built rail
roads, invited foreign capital to come
in and develop the resources Of the
country, and organized an army
which he thought strong enough to
enforce his will through the republic.
We all thought 1t strong govern

IN SPRING.

It's said that frisky microbes breed
In numbers quite confounding:
That millions make spock of dust:
Now isn't that astounding?
Then get hustle gentle friend,
Go at 'em most emphatic;
And rout the rascals every one,
From cellar to the attic.
Magdaline Merritt.
The roofs are shining from the rain,
The sparrows twitter as they fly, -.
And with windy April grace
The vivid clouds go BY
Yet the back yards are bare and
brown
with only one unchanging tree
could not be so sure of spring
Save that it sings in me.

HOLDS FARINO'S KILLING WAS TO
 PROTECT SELF
Coroner Phelan Exonerates Slayer of Murder Ac-
 cusation
EXPECT CHANGE
 IN COURT CHARGE
Official Intinates That De Vivass Story on Stand
 Was Influenced

That Lawrence F,arino, who shot and killed Tony Della Peitro in the street in front of the saloon owned by Joseph, DeViva. at 437 Water street, Saturday night May 23, evidently fired in self defense Is the finding of Cor oner John J. Phelan.
 The coroner finds that, on the night of the killing. the two men were play ing pool in DeViva's saloon in coms pany with several other Italians. Della Pseftro lost on several occasions, and, in order to settle a dispute who was the best player. Della Peitro threw a dollar on the table and demanded that Farino play for this and the drinks for the house. Farino accepted, but DeViva, the saloonkeeper, bJected. saying that his saloon was no place to gamble in.
 Up to this point, all the witnesses were agreed as to thexevents that tram spired, but, after that, there was a. discrepancy in the testimony. A fight declared that both were striking while the other witnesses contended that Farinn at no time struck Della Peitro but merely put his hands up in an effort to protect his face. After De- Viva separated the two, Farino's arms were held by DeViva, and Della Peitro. who had gone to the street, challenged Farino to come to the street and fight it out.
 It was testified that after DeViva had pushed Farino from the saloon, he warned DeViva to leave him alone or he would shoot, and DeViva de- clares that one shot was fired at him and that he then grabbed Farino by the arms Della Peitro then coming up with upraised fist. Farino fired, two shots taking effect in his body.
 In his finding the coroner intimates that DeViva's testimony may have been influenced by his wife's relation ship with Della Peitro and the fact that Della Peitro had boarded at his home for two years.
 It is expected that. when Fsarino is brought to trial in city court, the charge will be change from one of first degree murder to one of murder in the second degree.

Passenger Rates Are Increased Tt Costs More Now to Ride On the New Haven
 Road
NEW RATES IN
 EFFECT YESTERDAY
Nickel More to New York and New Haven, and Way
 Stations, East and West

The increase in passenger rates be- tween New England points went into effect at the local station of the N. F.. N. H. & H. R. R. yesterday The i'm crease is expected to net over a. mill lion dollars annually. It is contended by the officials of the company that it was absolutely necessary for the com pany to increase the rates owing to the depleted condition of the conn pany's finances.
 The increase is approximately five cents for each division of the New Haven line. On points between this city and including New York the in crease is five cents. The rates are in creased five cents on the following g divisions out of Bridgeport: Shore line, Northampton, New Haven and New York divisions. This means that the rate to Milford which was formerly Is cents has been increased to 20 cents, and that all points that were formerly 10 cents by rail will be in creased. to Is cents.
 The rate between Bridgeport and Hartford has been increased 10 cents. On longer haI1ls the difference is as follows: Boston, $3.6O to $3.S0t Wor- cester, $2.9O to $3.00; Providence, $270 to $2.90. and other hauls are proportionally increased
 It is contended that the company s finances have been drained by the in staIlation of the electric zone.

Mayors Attack On School Board
 Is Not ReIisbed
N. W. Bishop Tells His Hon or the Criticism Is Not
 Justified
OTHERS ON BOARD
 AGREE WITH HIM
Onslaught Stirs Members, Who Say Mayor Is Anx-
 ious to Spend Money

"I do not think your criticism of the board of education as published in your annual message is justified or well advised.'S said Nathaniel W. Bishop when he met Mayor Clifford B. Wilson in the corridor of the City Hall today
 Mr Bishop was at the City Hall early today and made several calls at the mayors office, but the mayor had not arrived. It is believed that Mr. Bishop came especially to reply to the paragraph in the mayors message which voiced the opinion of the chief does not exercise the same business acumen in dealing with city affairs that the members do in their own business The mayor had also said that the board is too cumbersome. MT Bishop finally met Mayor Wilson office.
 T want to get more action out of your board said the mayor.
 You are getting action enough z replied MI BishoB. T and other nj leefs of the board arg doing our duty. I am no buffer I devote time and attention from my business in terests to the interests of the city of Bridgeport and the board of educa- ton in order that the city may get good value for every dollar that is ex- pended for public education. I do not relish your criticism of our board and do not think it is deserved
 Mayor Wilson, who appeared rather jared by Mr. Bishops plain manner of speech said he would see MT. Bish- op later and took the elevator up to his office.
 John J. Cullinan. one of the active members when asxeda his views on the mayors statements said: The mayor is prejudiced against the board anyway. He does not say in his mess age in what way they do not agree with him. He came into the room the other night and his chief object seem ed to be to get rid of that $2o0.000 as soon as possible He said he wanted that disposed of at the next meeting. We told him that we were not ready sibly this was in his mind when he wrote his message"
 Dr. William H. Ryan of the school board said the board before this time should have taken steps towards se- curing property for future schools LJY-- on the mayors criticism of appoint ments to the board and the unwie1dIy size of. it as constituted he would not comment other than to remark that the statements of the mayor were t'hot stuff. D
 board of education, when asked to comment upon the mayors statements said: Tt is really better not to talk about the matter. Anybody should know better than that. It was only two weeks ago we. voted upon the bonds and here he (Mayor WiIson) wants to go and spend the money
