SASSED
The General Did An
American widow
At Vera Cfuz-..A VERY In
tefeSting Story

Vera Cruz, Mexico, June 19-Mrs.
Mary Reyes is back again under the
American flag, after having given a
certain Mexican named Huerta the
sassing of his life. With her she
brings four pretty daughters, about
whom the young lieutenants of the ar
my and navy are flocking like birds.
But to get headlong into the story:
Mrs. Reyes went to Mexico % years
ago and is the American widow of a
Mexican who was once wealthy. Her
four daughters have delightful little
lisps, calculated to drive white-suited
young navyman half mad. The girls
learned stenography, after the family
fortunes waned and in good American
style they jumped in after their faith
er's death, and made for themselves
and their mother a home that was one
of the brightest and most interesting
in Mexico City. When President Ma
dero was assassinated Mrs. Reyes
agreed with President Wilson that
Huerta, the assassin, ought not to be
recognized 1t was an easy matter for
President Wilson not TO recognize
Huerta but for Mrs. Reyes it was an
affair of great difficulty, owing TO the
fact that the Reyes and Huerta fami-
lies were in the same social SET in the
capital Mrs. Reyes began to speak
her mind, wherever she went The
Carranzistas, who were working secret
ly in the city, at the risk of their
lives, sought her out and told her to
be careful.
I'm going to talk and think as
please" said Mrs. Reyes, in American
style. THE Carranzistas in the capi-
tai began to depend more and more on
the American woman and her daugh-
ters for aid in accomplishing secret
and difficult tasks For instance, it's
Mrs. Reyes own secret how she did it,
but it is known that Il deputies who
had been marked for death by Huerta
were spirited away from her home, at
various times, to safety. And every.
time deputy went TO safety the ward
robe of one of the girls was minus a
gown or street dress. If you could
just get the Reyes family to tell the
details of some of these things you'd
have play or book, that would thrill
the world. Maybe they'll tell, some
time, they say Dut-tbe Carranzistas
aren't in power yet The crisis Tor the
Reyes family came on Feb, %, not be-
cause that is Washington's birthday,
but because it is tue anniversary cf
the assassination Of Francisco MadeEo,
who was almost an idol with he Reyes
girls and their mother On that sun
day afternoon Mrs Reyes, taxing her
liberty and it might have been hre life
into her hands, went 10 the French

Hours Labor On Part Of

John Roop narrowly escaped suffo-
cation beneath several tons Of earth
Thursday afternoon when the walls
of the eight-foot sewer trench on East
Chestnut street caved in upon him.
Roop was working at the bottom Of
the trench when he was warned Of the
impending cave-in by fellow work
man. He quickly fell PROSTATE and
thrust his head into the end Of large
sewer tile. The falling dirt covered
his body to a depth of several feet
but when dug out nearly an hour later
he was unhurt His quick presence
of mind probably saved his life.

cemetery, where Madero lies buried
and, carrying great bouquet of roses,
she stalked her way through the lines
of Mexican soldiers and rurales to the
door of the Madero family tomb and
placed the roses there. Carmen, her
daughter who was standing beside
her suddenly felt the touch of hand
on her shoulder. The girl then turned
and found herself facing Geo. Huerta,
the son of Madero's assassin.
What are you doing here?' he
asked, insolently. He's loafing young
blood of the capital and perhaps some
of his fathers cognao made him par
ticularly overbearing in his demeanor.
Are you a relative of the Maderos?"
he continued. What are you crying
around here for?" / was in the ceme-
terry myself, that Sunday, and l know
what a sinister crowd of soldiers and
secret service men it was that sur
rounded Madero's grave. 1t would have
taken a brave man to stand at that
graveside and speak his mind, and he
probably would have paid for his words
with his life We're here to mourn
for the good man your father murder
ed"
The words came like so many shots;
spoken right into the face of the assas-
sims son; delivered in the presence of
grim soldiers; heard by scores of by
ISLANDERS who were secretly mourning;
thrilling me, as they did every other
bystander, until it hurt us not to be
able to cheer Mrs. Reyes told George
Huerta some more things, too she
told him that he was as bad man as
his drunken father. She prophesied;
she said the day would come when
his father who had seized the presi-
dency by murder, would be an out
cast. She said she hoped the day
wasn't far away either, and then she
wound up by saying "Now go home
and tell your father what an American
woman, who isn't afraid to talk, thinks
about him She and her daughter
turned away, stalked through the lines
of soldiers and left the wondering and
astonished son of the dictator to think
things out.
I'm telling this story of the Reyes
family now because it is the first
chance l have had to tell it, without
endangering the lives or at least the
liberty of that brave woman and her
daughters.
After the incident, secret service
men haunted them and their home; ev-
en- their servants, they discovered
were Huerta spies. And the other day,
they had to fee There was one white
man." in the Huerta government, who
called one of the girls to his Office
and said;
Your mother and you girls had bet
ter get out of the capital as soon as
you can, Huerta is planning to arrest
YOU"
And so the plucky little American
woman with her four daughters left
their home one evening, got to the the
railroad station without being OBJ
served, and, twenty-four hours later,
were under the American flag in Vera
