THE MUNICIPAL. CONCERT

In commenting editorially on the
municipal concert which is to be given
next Monday evening, the Sunday
Pioneer Press, which claims the dis
tinction of being father Of the idea
for st. Paul, says in part:
EST, Peter and MankatO have as
sumcd position, even beyond that OF
St. Paul and Minneapolis, through
their world-famous prima donnas. BuS
Little Falls suggests closer relation
between people and the people s music,
in their municipal concert, which Will
be given tomorrow night. Little Falls
is one Of the most attractive of the
smaller towns Of the state, in the ten
thousand class of Brainerd and Fari-
bault and Red Wing and Crookston
and Fergus Falls and Rochester. The
METROPOLITAN residents unfamiliar with
these towns are of necessity lacking
in appreciation of what such towns
mean to the state. There is sufficient
wealth and intelligence in them to
give quality to the population, while
The concentrated neighborliness OF the
small town still remains. What they
10, they 10 as a community.
The municipal concert Of Little
Falls, copied from the st. Paul plan,
and that plan closely adhered to II:
that all the music is given by loca>
musical organizations, is, if we are
not mistaken, the first such entertain
mcnt in Minnesota town distinctly
municipal. There are in Little Falls
seven organizations to share in the
program, two men $ glcc clubs, two
womcn's singing organizations, a
band, an orchestra, a woman $ strlh>>
;uartet, and there AZ, two or three
soloists of more than local reputation.
For the good OF the community and
to give the town stronger commun-
al sense, these organizations are unit
ing. The surrounding countryside Will
send it's people, in the excellent OLD
fashion, Of a spelling school or
husking bee. The quality Of neighbour
Illness, after all, is not dying down.
And particularly in Minnesota towns,
is there an increasing social sense,
which unites all the people for i'm
provement and for entertainment. -

LOUD CLAM0R FOR ADVANCE
Rebels at Torreon Are Eager to Move
Forward.

Torreon, Mex, May 14.-"On to Sal
tillo, San Luis Potosi and Mexico
City, is the constant cry heard every
where here. In the streets, plaZas,
government Offices, cafes and stores,
the speedy advance is the thing they
talk of. A note of Impotence runs
through the conversation and inquiry
often brings the statement that Mex
leo is tired of war and an expression
of regret that the United States re.
placed the embargo on arms.
Every measure to insure success at
Saltillo and points further south is
being taken. Ammunition is being
concentrated here and at Monterey
end the available food supplies are
ample. Question of transporting the
wounded has received special atten-
ton and many vehicles have been re-
modelled for that purpose. Large
stores of medical supplies have ar
rived and the staff of physicians has
be en- increased from fifteen to twenty.

Funston Asks for
More Troops.
MAYGRANT HIS REQUEST
War Department Preparing to
Send hcinf01ce|nentS.

Washington, May 9.-Tle war de.
rartment was the chief center Of ac-
tivity il the Mexican situation and
while no authoritative statement was
made beyond Secretary Garrison's
formal reply that mo orders for addi-
tional troop movements have been
sent it became known that the send
ing of additional troops to Vera Cruz
probably will be carried out This
step will not be intended in any way
as an aggressive measure, but as a
reasonable precaution to support the
fc-cs alrsady there in case Of any I'M
t71-2rd event.
such dn ;intoward event is consid,
cred one of the eventualities which
must be guarded against, although it
is not regarded as imminent.
Of equally serious portent to the
troop prepare tions was the report that
two German merchant ships are about
TO arrive at Puerto Mexico with large
supplies of arms and ammunition for
Huerta. It was realized that this, if
true, will present an incident similar
t. the arrival of the Yparanga at Vera
Cruz with her cargo of munitions,
which led Immediately to the Ameri.
can occupation of that port.

armistice by landing additional troops

cabinet and later Secretary Bryan an!

have been taken by the United States
forces and that nothing has been done

titles.

New York, May Ito the Amer.

Vera Cruz, the city, the state and
the nation paid tribute in a demon

silence and solemnity.
For four miles through the city

hours in passing.
At the city hall, the columns and

the cortege halted, while Mayor Nit

Wilson's Tribute to the Dead. :.
To the president was left the privi-
lege of voicing the nations grief and
the nations belief that those who died
in the performance of duty had done
for their country service not to be
measured by their individual deeds.
1.-The feeling that is uppermost," he
said, lis one of profound grief and yet
there is mixed with that grief pro-
found pride that they should have
gone as they did, and if l may say it
out of my heart, touch of envy of
those who were permitted so quietly,
so nobly to do their duty"
The head of the nation looked out
over the thousands mass,d about the
coffins on the parade ground and his
voice shook with emotion as he de.
clared his creed: ..~ &c.. *

Mexican Federa|S in
Full Retreat,
REBELS SECURE PORT
Desperate Fighting Precedes
Fall Of Coast Town.

Washington, May 14-Evacuation
of Tampico by the Mexican federal
garrison has begun, according to a
relayed wireless dispatch to the navy
department from Rear Admiral Mayo.
Federal troops were leaving by the
railroad, he said.
That the rebels encountered des-
perate resistance in their final attack
on Tampico and that they were COM
PEELED to carry their fight to the heart
of the town was indicated by Rear
Admiral Mayos report. He said that
when it was reported the retels had
occupied Tampico there was heavy
rife firing in the plaza and that big
gun firing continued.
Advices received by Constitution
alists here said the federals were
evacuating Tampico, but details were
lacking,
The federals were retreating by way
of the railroad leading to San Luis
Potosi and it was assumed that they
hoped to reach Pachuca, the terminus
of railway line that leads Indirect
ly to Mexico City. The railroad out
of Tampico to Monterey is held by
the Constitutionalists.
News of the fighting at Tampico
came in brief dispatches to the navy
department. First, Rear Admiral
Mayo reported firing. He said that
the federals lacked ammunition.
The taking of Tampico, the port
next in Importance to Vera Cruz, will
raise many interesting questions, as
the Constitutionalists have hitherto
held no seacoast towns. It is pos
sible that the federal gunboats out
side the harbor may seek to prevent
arms and supplies from landing at
Tampico, but such an interference
with international commerce might
not be tolerated by the big foreign
ships lying there and complications
are possible.

SETS VERA CRUZ TALKING
Fall Of Tampico Causes Much Specu-
lation There.


Vera Cruz, May 14.-The fall of
Tampico and what it may mean is the
subject of general speculation here.
1t is believed that the Constitution
alists have overrun the territory
around San Luis Potosi and Monterey,
which would make federal escape in
that direction possible only by a con-
tinuous rur-,ing fight for many miles,
Few, if eny, foreigners remain in
Tampico, according to the last re-
ports.
The. federals are maintaining the
armistice Sc far as the Americans are
concerned, according to a note from
General Rubio Navarrete.
The logical movement of the victors
from Tampico would be to join forces
with those besieging San Luis Po-
tOSi.

Are the Scenes of Terrific crushes
as Thousands of Persons Attempt
to Gain Entrance to Buildings
Where Bodies of Marines Lay in
State. 49,.
Chicago, May 14.-The return of the
body of Samuel Meisenberg, the Chi
cago boy who was among the first
of the American marines to lose his
life in the occupation of Vera Cruz,
was marked by panic in the city hall
where the body lay in state for three
hours.
So great was the crush to view the
catafalque in the rotunda of the mu-
nicipal building that scores of women
tainted, while some, caught in the
smothering press, cried for air. Only
the names of twelve women who sue
cumbed were obtained by the police,
but among these was Mrs. Morris Mel
senberg, mother of the dead hero.
Cool headed elevator men did much
to avert disaster. They opened the
doors of their cages and carried those
nearest them to upper floors, while
police sought to quiet those in the
corridors, and others at the entrances
fought to restrain the thousands who
blocked the streets outside and who,
ignorant of the situation inside, made
desperate efforts to crowd within the

Vera Cruz, May 14.-President
HCerta has placed General Narrete in
command of the forces in front CT
Vera Cruz, with headquarters at Cor

Huerta has called General Mas to
the capital to utilize him in the line of
defense against the northern Consti.
tutionalists.
General Narrete is regarded as the
best military officer in the Mexican
army. Placing him in charge of Cen
eral Mas command may have been
due in part to the record of General
Mas at Vera Cruz when the Amer
lean forces landed. General Mas left
the city early in the fighting without
calling out all his troops. For this
he was severely criticised by General
Huerta.

The new postmaster at Monticello

town in 1912. He is not known to
have ever been in democratic caucus
in his life and never attended demo-
cratic convention. He is generally re-
garded by everyone in Monticello a.
a standpat republican in politics. That
is not Of course to his discredit, but
has not generally been supposed to be
recommendation in the eyes of a
democratic postmaster general. It is
also understood that he supported
Lindbergh in 1912, which is consider
ed a terrible thing by the st. Cloud
Times in the case Of aspirants to
Office under the present administra-
stion, and it is-when it suits his pur-
poses considered very serious by
Lynch, despite Lynch's continual
support Of standpatter Congressman
Stevens in the St. Paul distr1c,.
Lynch had no qualms in making a
standpatter' republican postmaster, al.
though it involved turning down Edi-
tor Charles A. French, who has been
on the democratic firing line for years.
The trouble with French, who al
,.yocated democracy in days Of conflict
and defeat as well as in days Of
triumph-is, that he is too Independent
and too much Of democrat, and
therefore not popular with the power.
