TRAIN IS WRECKED
AND MANY KILLED
chARRED BONES GREET REScU.
ERS WHO PENETRATED
TUNNEL.
NO ONE KNOWN TO Be ALIVE
All People on Train Which Mexican
Bandit Tolled Into Death Trap,
Pershed.

Cumbre, Chihuahua, MeXico.--Noth-
ing but charred bones and buttons
were found by the rescuing party
which, with the aid of oxygen helmets
and pulmotors, penetrated the Cumbre
tunnel from the south portal as far
as the locomotive and first two cars
Of the passenger train which entered
the burning cavern.
These are supposed to be the re-
mains of the engineer and fireman Of
the Inflated passenger train. They
were probably killed when their en-
CINE crashed into the burning freight
train, which had been pushed into the
tunnel by Castillo's bandits several
hours before, it is said Now, it is
believed that every one of the fifty
or more passengers, including the
crew, aboard the train when it dashed
into the tunnel are dead, but whether
the train was hurried into the tunnel
to escape beieng captured by Castillo's
bandits or sent headlong to its de-
struction by the bandits may never be
known.
The wreckage is covered by from
to 10 feet of earth, and the only hope
of finding any bodies is that they
may have been covered with earth
before having been reached by the
flames, which is not probable. In the
whole distance traversed not a parti-
Gle of the woodwork of all the cars
burned was found. The only recog-
nizable body thus far recovered is that
of Juan Fernandez, rear brakeman Of
the passenger train, who had escaped
to within 200 feet of the north portal
when he finally succumbed, dying in
a sitting posture, with a handkerchief
tied about his nose and mouth, in a
vain endeavor to save himself from be-
ing smothered by the smoke and gas
1t is believed that all others in the
train, who were not MANNED or killed,
when the passenger train hit the
wreckage of the freight, attempted to
escape as did Fernandez, but were
overcome.
Washington.-All those aboard the
Inflated passenger train which collid.
ed with seven burning freight cars in
Cumbre tunnel appear to have perish
ed. They included at least eight
and thirty Mexicans ac-
cording to dispatch from American
consul Letcher at Chihuahua.

PRESIDENT RAISES EMBARGO
MEXICAN FACTIONS PUT ON AN
EQUAL BASIS BY PRESIDENT
WILSON'S ORDER.
President Believes That His Action Is
the Best Course to End
the Trouble.

Washington.-Pre Wilson, by
an executive order, made public at the
white house, removed all restrictions
against the expectation of munitions of
war into Mexico from the United
States, placing the contending Mexi-
can elements on basis of equality
with respect to the purchase of arms
and supplies in this country. The ex-
ecutive order emphasized that it was
the desire of the United States to be
in the same position Of neutrality to-
ward the contending factions in Mexico
as were the other powers.
The text of the proclamation fol-
lows:
Whereas, by proclamation Of the
president, issued on March IA, 1912,
under a point resolution of congress,
approved by the president on the same
day, it was declared that there exist
ed in Mexico conditions of domestic
violence which were promoted by the
use of arms or munitions of war pro.
cured from the United States; ana,
Whereas, by joint resolution above
mentioned, it whereupon became un.
lawful to export arms or munitions
of war to Mexico except under such
limitations and exceptions as the pres
ident should prescribe;
Nov, therefore, l., Woodrow Will
son, president of the United States of
America, do hereby declare and pro.
claim that, as the conditions ON which
the proclamation of March IA, 1912,
was based, have essentially changed,
and as it is desirable to place the
United States, with reference to the
expectation of arms or munitions OF
war to Mexico, in the same position
as other powers, the said proclama
ton is hereby revoked"
Mexico City.-Many of the Ameri.
cans resident here, on learning OF
President Wilson's decision to raise
the embargo on the expectation OF
arms from the United States to Mexi-
CO, made preparations to leave the
capital for the coast.

PERKINS WINS LONG FIGHT
Georgian Who Was Removed by a
Military CabaI to Be Reinstated,

Washington.-Secr of the Navy
Daniels has definitely advised Geor-
gia friends of Lieut.. Col. Constantine
Marrast Perkins that he will send to
congress within a few days a letter
approving that officers reinstatement
to remedy the injury inflicted by a
military cabal.
In conversation with Senator Hoke
Smith and Representative William viii.
liam Schley Howard, who have act
lively interested themselves in behalf
of tardy justice for this brave Off
Ger, the secretary declared that he
was convinced that Lieutenant Colo
mel Perkins was unjustly treated. He
likened his case to that of Dreyfs
in France.
OF course in this persecution racial
prejudice did not enter. Lieutenant
Colonel Perkins was appointed to the
naval academy from Rome, Ca, by
President Grant His father had served
in the Mexican war. His two sisters
are now living in Georgia-Mrs. w. l..
Hunt at Rome, and Mrs. Richard w.
Cubbedge at Macon. Two brothers
are prominent business men in West
Virginia.
For six years Lieutenant Colonel Per.
kins has waged his fight, being many
times in sight of his goal, only to have
his hopes dashed to pieces. Senator
Clay and Colonel Livingston both
sought to have him reinstated, but
could not convince the officers of the
navy department of what they felt
was rank injustice.

YE MYSTIC KREWE
OF PIRATES BOLD
WAS FORMED IN 1904 BY GEORGE
HARDEE.
Modelled on Knights Of Comus of New
Orleans Mardi Gras Fame.
Have Great Times.

Ye- Mystic Krewe Of Gasparilla, the
Tampa organization that has lent Its
name to the greatest festival and pa.
geant of which it remains the central
part, dates back to 1904. 1t was Or
ganized in that year by George Har-
dee, a government employee, then fresh
from New Orleans and the remem.
brance of its Mardi Gras. His idea
was for pageant, participated in by
the young men of the city, which
would be an enjoyable occasion on the
one hand for themselves, and on the
other hand for the public generally.
We Mystic krewe Has Grown.
1t is his idea, grown and embellish-
ed, that has brought out the Gaspa-
rilla festival of four days. duration.
Just as the band Of buccaneers, Ye
Mystic Krewe, has grown from about
thirty to one hundred, with an honor
guard of an hundred more, so has the
fete grown from a one-day affair on
Washington's birthday to carnival Of
nearly a week. This year is the first
that the Gasparilla celebration will oc-
cupy more than a single day, it will
be held February 21-24
Not only are the hundred pirates
and the hundred honor guard planning
to surpass all former performances,
but the Gasparilla Carnival Assocla-
ton, composed of committees from ev-
cry organization of the city of Tampa,
is working to make the first greater
Gasparilla" an occasion of delight and
pleasure for thousands and thousands
of people. South Florida will have
Gasparilla that will truly rival the Mar
di Gras of New Orleans, and will
claim prominence among all such at
fairs.

cago. turned out in full strength to
take advantage of their. first opportun-

weather conditions favored large reg
istration and estimates vary at from
$4,000 to 100000. Polling places
were made clean and attractive, fow-
ers were not wanting. The requirement
that women registering must state
their ages, expected to be a cause of
some awkwardness, proved to have
been overrated as a stumbling block.
Women gave their ages nonchalantly.
