Mexico City, March THE for
eigners of this city fear the revolution
of the south more than the one OF
the north. 1t is generally believed
that the worst scenes Of looting and
carnage ever witnessed here would
result should the Zapatas and their
bandit band march victorious into
Mexico City,.
Emiliano Zapata has been called
the greatest bandit who ever lived,
one New World savage more blood
thirsty than Geronimo. He has
fought and conquered the armies OF
four governments, and is today ravag-
ing an area larger than the states OF
New York and Texas combined.
more than 5000 men, women and
children to the sword: taken or de-
stroyed more than $1O0,0O0,0O0
worth Of property; killed some thou
sands Of federal soldiers In open
combat and rides today at the head OF
a well-armed, finely mounted force OF
10000 cavalry. !
The Zapata brothers fought in turn
always triumphantly-the armies
of President Porfirio Diaz. Francisco
Leon de la Barra and Francisco I.
Madero. In April last, when General
Huerta assumed power. he deter
mined to make peace with these dan
gerous bandits II possible.
To Emiliano Zapata he offered full
pardon for all past crimes and COM
mand Of all the Mexican rurales, or
federal mounted police. To Eufemio
Zapata he also offered pardon and
the governorship of the state of
Morelos.
The Zapata brothers not only
spurned these offers. but they arrested
and threw into prison the envoy of
the government-Pascua Orozco, ST.,
father Of the northern rebel leader,
who has Joined the Huerta govern
ment.
Before making this offer, General
Huerta, acting on instructions from
Felix Diaz, sent twenty-seven men,
each ignorant of the others presence,
into Morelos and Guerrero, with the
offer of a reward Of $1,000 for Emil
iano Zapata's head, dead or alive.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1914-03-07

Some of these men Zapata shot: still
others he took prisoners; one. who
became obstreperous, is reported to
have been burned alive, and from

government as warnings.
On April 6, 1918. Immediately fol-
lowing the arrest Of Pascual Orozco.
ST.. and the refusal Of pardon by the
Zapatas. 10000 men were ordered
modified to move against the Zapata
bandits. This army has been beaten
and routed. The Zapatistas are as
powerful as ever.
The Zapata brothers and their MUIR
derous band do not claim to be fight
ing for q principle. They are fighting
satisfying their bloodthirsty instincts.
They are likely to continue successful
because Emiltano Zapata, after Por-
flr1o Diaz, Is the shrewdest strategist
and cleverest soldier Mexico ever
produced. >

Commercial club rooms have been en-

the election Of officers there are a

For one thing they are dissatisfied
with the present city ordinance
whereby the license money for driv-

the administration Of the law
The motorcyclists who think this
arrangement should be investigated
figure this way: License tags cost the
state 81 cents each, leaving 6eA
cents to pay the clerical work neces-
sary in the recording of the license
and other information going with it,
and FOR postage and other incidentals
In the case of an automobile license,
and AN cents with motorcycle Ii
cense. All told there were approx
mately $4,000 licenses issued last
year, so they figure there was prob
ably sum of money somewhere be-
tween $4,000 and $25, 900 left for the
administration of the law, after the
cost OF tags had been deducted.
Four persons are employed in the
Office of the secretary Of state regu-
larly to attend to the work Incidental
to the issuing and recording of Ii
censes and of transfer Of licenses. A
very complete card index system is
Kept, and during the rush season adj
ditiona1 help is employed, but the
motorcycle people cannot figure out
how it costs $4,000 or $26, 900 a year
merely to keep a record Of licenses is
sued and to pay for postage stamps
and for the shipment of the tags.
Without any first hand knowledge of
the matter. they think the administers
