CONSUL CANADA RULING
MONARCH AT VERA C


VERA CRUZ, May s.-(By Mail
to New York Wv. w. Canada, the
American consul at Vera Cruz, whom
Representative Mondel bitterly at
tackled in congress on April 27th for
iending alarming reports about the
situation of Americans in Mexico, cal
eulated to furnish reasons for inter-
sention in Mexico, is an Indiana poll
Jician.
During his sixteen year stay in
Vera Cruz he has absorbed something
# the Mexican idea Of ofiicialdom
and he has for many years been some
thing OF ruler in the American col
ony in the city. There was never
any gentleness about his rule, either;
whenever he had anything to say to
americans he sent the information
out in the form of orders.
"All Americans must positively
cave Vera Cruz at once.--W. w. Cam
lda,' was a notice which he posted
ap about the streets of the city re-
Gently when he thought that the city
might soon be crowded by refugees.
anybody who criticises President
Huerta in this office will be imme-
diately removed" is another sign he
once posted in the consulate.
When he was criticized for this on
The grounds that it was sign which
might be seen in the office of any
Mexican official, he changed the sign
to include criticism of President Will
son.
''Mondell went after Bryan harder
than he went after me,' said Consul
Canada, after he had read an Am
erican paper containing report Of
MondelPs criticism. "You know some
body's always been after me, all my
life.
81 WAS elected judge in my own
town three days before was 81 years
old and I've held political jobs ever
since. Somebody's always been try
ing to get me, but I've always had
little majorities in my favor. You
know, back in Indiana, when was a
boy, l discovered that you always find
the most clubs under the trees that
Lave the best fruit, and lot of clubs
lave been thrown at me-"
About the first words the boot
blacks of Vera Cruz learned from
americans were swear words. 1t is
the custom Of the little fellows to in
tcrrupt the conversations of plaza
diners by offering their services or
wares and not to depart until the din
crs order them to go, with the word,
"vamos."
When the soldiers came the pes
tilential little chaps very soon picked
up the phrase Get the hell out OF
here" and, within few days, when
u customer tried to tell them, in de-
cent phrases, that they were not
wanted, the boys, in departing would
say "get the hell out of here,' evil
IDENTIFY thinking it meant goodbye
"All right" was the phrase they pick
ed up next.
Maryland, My Maryland" of all
the tunes which the American mill
tary bands played in the plaza, soon
became the most popular among Mex
leans. Mexico has its song crazes.
just as the United States has, and
at the time Of the American invus-
ion, Vera Cruz, Mexico City and 9TH

about two new pieces, MARKETS." and
"Seraphina."
In Vera Cruz, however, Maryland.
My Maryland" soon took the place in
popularity Of the other two hits. Small
boys whistled It; it was played on
pianos in private houses and Msxi-
can orchestra leaders borrowed copies
Of It from the American bandsmsn
