Refugees from the interior continued

May 8.

Several changes affecting the schedule
now in use on the Barre branch will be-
come effective Sunday through orders
issued from the Central Vermont offices
in st. Adams. Perhaps the most con-
spicuous change is the discontinuance
OF train No. Is, now leaving st. Adams

tion at Sis p. m. This means the aban-
donment of the ! 30 train going south,
from this station. There will be Nor

same hour. Sunday the same service
will be retained, although the train will
leave at s:45, as at present. Train 81,
which now leaves Barre for points north
and south at ll:25 will not depart un-
til l:45 after Saturday; Sunday it will
leave at ii 80, the present hour of de-
parture. A train for points north will
leave at 1926 p. M, instead of 3:40, the

MUCH TALK OVER NEW AUTO.
Some Think the Water Committee Ex-
ceeded It's Authority.

Practically all of the necessary arr
rangements have been made for the new
automobile truck which is to become
part of the water department equip
ment. The truck is obtained from the
Ford Motor Co. through the Perry Au-
tomobile Co.. and will be available for
departmental uses before many days.
Even now, it is said, the car is on its
way to Barre and will be pressed into
service Immediately on its arrival. Al
ready, according to report, the depart
ment attaches are qualifying themselves
in the art OF operating a car and there
will be no delay in utilizing the new
purchase once it reaches the city. 1t is
expected that the truck will perform its
most desirable function in transferring
men and material to the reservoirs sup
plying the city with its water. Men in
the department regard the truck as
utility that will fill long felt want
in this respect.
Meanwhile there are those who are
raising a point as to whether the alder
manic committee was acting within its
bounds in making mandatory the pur-
chase of truck for the department.
II is generally conceded that the COM
mittee, with one dissenting member, had
already signed a contract with the Perry
Automobile Co, for the lease OF car,
with provisions for purchasing at the
end of the year. The committee brought
the matter before the council for the
purpose of procuring its sanction of the
lease or purchase. As matter of fact,
il is claimed. the deal was already con
summated and the favorable or adverse
action of the council probably would
have had no bearing on the proposal.
The truck, if the contract is valid would
have been purchased in any event
1t is understood that the committee
looked for authority, in completing the
negotiations, to chapter eight, section p,
of the revised ordinances which author
izes the aldermanic water committee to
make purchases of equipment, teams,
etc, if they are needed in the depart
ment On the other hand, those who
contend that the committee exceeded its
authority in closing the bargain for n
motor truck, point to chapter Al of the
revised city ordinances, which, they say,
emphatically acts as an estoppel on the
committee from signing a contract with
ont the consent of the council. Not only
is the language OF the chapter subject
to only one construction, is the conten
tion, but it goes further by providing
penalty of $50 fine for violations of
the chapter. The proposal for the addi-
tion OF motor car to the departments
equipment was unanimously ratified by
the council. but there is legal authority
for restraining the committee from bind
ing the city to a contract. it is said and
readers who are interested in the contro-
versy will doubtless be able to decide
upon its merits by referring to the chap
ters and sections already mentioned.

MEDIATION PLANS
WERE BROADENED
To Include the Entire Range of Mexican
Affairs, to Include the Revolution
Itself-Change of Plan Follows
Receipt of CarTanza's Note.

Washington, d. c., April 30.-The
scope of mediation plans for the settle
ment of the Mexican crisis was suddenly
broadened last night so as to include
the entire range of Mexican affairs-not
United States and the Huerta regime,
alone the critical issue between the
United States and the Huerta regime,
but also the revolution in Mexico itself.
This signal enlargement of the media
tion program followed the receipt, late
in the day, of a formal acceptance by
General Carranza, chief of the constitu-
tionalist forces, of the principle OF me-
diation. as proposed by the ambassador
from Brazil and the ministers from Ar
gentina and Chile.
Already the United States and Gen
eral Huerta had formally accepted the
good offices of these South American
ENJOYS and now General Carranza has
been brought into the deliberations so
as to draw every element and faction
within the range OF any settlement
which may be attained.
Earlier in the day the mediators made
another decisive move in asking the

PRISON ORDERED VACATED.
Fortress of San Juan de Ulua, Notorious
for Centuries.

Vera Cruz, April 30.-The fortress of
San Juan de Ulua, notorious for cen
turies as perhaps the foulest prison on
the American continent, has been or
dered by Real Admiral Fletcher to be
vacated Immediately.
When the American sailors and ma
rines occupied Vera Cruz there We're in
this prison, which is constructed in the
form of little island in the harbor,
some 400 prisoners, most of whom were
confined for political offenses. Three
hundred of these men already have been
released or transferred to other prisons,
but there remains ll6, and now these
men are to be sent elsewhere.
The inspection by the American au-
thorities verified the tales that had been
written and told for generations OF the
terrible conditions prevailing in San
Juan de Ulua. Many dungeons were be-
low the water line when the tide came in
and the inmates. many of them half
blind on account of their long incarcera
tion in semi darkness, were drenched.
Other dungeons were so constructed that
it was impossible for the victims TO lie
down. Ancient devices of torture We're
discovered and there was evidence that
these recently had been in use.
Among the prisoners were men once
of prominence, but whose names have
been almost forgotten Some of them
had been there so long that their minds
were blank; some of them so enfeebled
by bad treatment that their transfer to
hospitals instead of to prisons will be
necessary,
The appearance of the prisoners was
pitiable. Emaciated creatures stumbled
forward to thank the inspecting officers
for their delivery. Long boards in many
cases were matted over dirty counten-
ances of which once the fashionable ele-
ment of the federal capital had looked,
for many OF those imprisoned were once
prominent in society, in politics and in
the army.
The late President Francisco T. Ma
dero inspected the prison Just prior to
his taking office. He was horritied and
declared that his first official act would
be the removal of the prisoners and the
conversion of the fortress into an arsenal.
He did go so far as partially to prepare
military prisons at a point a short dis
tance from Vera Cruz, to which he talked
of removing the prisoners, but his prom
Use to clean out the prison was one of
his promises which he neglected or found
impossible to keep.
