PORTLAND MAN PARADES
ALONE WITH A BAND

Portland, Me-, March 1S.-Residents
of Portland and vicinity were given an
unexpected treat Tuesday in the SPLEEN
did demonstration by William d. Car
roll who mounted on a horse and
headed by the newly organized Moose
band, marched through the principal
streets of the city, apparently pay
ing his personal respects to the patron
saint of Ireland. Draped in the eolors
appropriate to the day, Mr.. Carroll and
his big black horse, marched to the
tune of likewise appropriate music
and failed to let the drizzling rain in
terfere with the pre- arranged program,
which to many was surprise as 1T
had been previously announced that
the day would be devoid of any big
celebration.
The parade, for that is what is was
termed by onlookers, drew forth a
much larger crowd than one many
times longer might and in response to
numerous outbursts of applause along
the line, Mr.. Carroll repeatedly raised
his high silk hat. 1t was wholly a
private observance, and was not given
in connection with any lodge observ-
ance.

equip and maintain 10 men for pur-
poses of defence, has never been COM
piled with, and he urged them now to
do this.
Such compliance would mean, according
to the official figures, the maintenance OF
500, 600 men, as it is estimated that there
are 52,000 haciendas and smaller ranches
within the federal jurisdiction. President
Huerta also requested these men to fur
nsh him with horses in sufficient number
for 100 cannon which he expects to arrive
soon from Japan and Europe. He asked
their moral support, suggesting that they
form a sort of military society not for
the purpose of lighting but that insignia
be worn by the members to identify them
as being on the side of the government
Reports Executions.
The report that a large number of these
who mutinied recently at Jojutla had
been executed is based on verbal state
ment made by Gen. Jiminez Castro to the
war minister Gen. Castro was recalled
from the military governorship and
reached here yesterday. The war office
has no other information relative to the
alleged executions.
General Castro reported that after
the mutineers, who numbered about
1000 and were reinforced by Zapata
adherents had abandoned Jojutla, they
were closely pursued by the Federais.
Many of them were killed in battle,
the prisoners being executed at
village near the Morelos-
In view of the discrepancies in these
and previous stories on the same sub
ject there is a disposition not to take
Castro's report seriously. Practically
all the Mexican newspapers are min
inning the report which is generally
discredited. Relative to the report of
fighting north of Torreon, Gen. Blan-
quot said tonight:
unfortunately it is not true"
The war department reports that
Emanuel Castillo Brito. one of the reb-
ell leaders, has met with severe defeat
at Tonesique in the state of Tabasco.
The department adds that the rem
nants of Britos force are fleeing to-
wards Guatemala.

STOCK KILLED
AS BUILDINGS
ARE DESTROYED
BY LIGHT ING

Pittsfeld, Me, March 1S.-(SpeciaD.
The farm buildings of J. w. Rob-
inson, located in Palmyra. four miles
from this village, We're totally de-
stroyed by fire about o'clock
Wednesday afternoon, during an cleo
trio shower when the buildings were
strNck by lightning. Thirteen head of
cattle, two horses, flock of sheep,
hens and some hogs were burned to
death.
Practically all of the household
goods and farming tools were de-
strpyed. Fifteen hundred bushels of
potatoes in the cellar were probably
burned, though attempts to save them
were made by throwing snow over
them.
The lightning struck the barn.
which had only been built a short
time. The entire set of buildings were
in excellent repair and were consid-
cred very valuable. They consisted of
house and ell, barn. carriage house,
sheep shed and hen houses. The loss
IS estimated to be over $4,000, which
is covered by only $500 insurance.

SEC, REDFIELD LAYS
DOWN FEW FOREIGN
COMMERCE AXIOMS

Los Angeles, Cal, March 1s-"The mar
ket of the whole world is steadier field
that the market of any one country said
William C. Redfeld, secretary of COM
merce, today in an address to the Los
Angeles Chamber of Comemrce.
IAN enorous advantage of the cultiva-
ton of the foreign f1eld.'' said Mr.. Red
field, lis that it is much less likely to be
upset by sudden fluctuations than is our
own market"
Foreign trade axioms laid down by Mr..
Redfeld were:
THE foreign field is not a dumping
ground. Do not offer the foreign buyer
what you want to get rid of, but what
he wants to buy.
Agents on the ground should study the
foreigners needs.
Faith, courage and patience are need
ed in order to get foreign business.
TT is useless to go into the export trade
as 4fiier'. 1t must be a permanent part
of the business of the house undertake
ing it.
1T is not so necessary to give low
prices as to establish market based on
quality"

COL. COCKTAILS
CLOSETED WITH
GRAND JURY IN
BURKE INQUIRY

New York, March 1S.-Colonel Goethals
was closeted for two hours this afternoon
with the grand jury which is considering
the charges against John Burke, sus-
pended chief of the commissary depart
ment of the Panama Railroad. Colonel
Goethals refused to make any comment
on the hearing.
1t is known that while the charges have
been pressed by the colonel himself, it has
been with the hope of clearing Burke, of
whose efficiency and honesty Col Goeth-
ais has declared a high opinion.
The grand jury investigation which has
been known as the inquiry into the
charges against John Burke" is much
wider in scope than this phrasing inn
plies, it was learned today at the office
of H. Snowden Marshall, the United
States district attorney.
Burke, suspended chief of the commits
sary department of the Panama Railroad.
is charged with having accepted bonuses
from companies to which were awarded
contracts for supplies. 1t is now limited
that the investigation will end either in
the exoneration of Burke or an indictment
of several zone officials. There is, how
ever, no prospect of immediate develop
ments. according to Mr.. Marshall, al
though he held a conference today with
Colonel Goethals which, it was said,
might precipitate the broader inquiry.
