A single incident Is quoted from the
statement of a reliable American c1ti-
zen:
my hacienda has been looted and
practically destroyed; the principal
houses were burned by explosion Of
bombs; my household furniture of all
kinds has been destroyed or carried
of. including most sacred of family
all working implements taken away;
all animals. big or little. work or
brood. killed or driven off; every grain
of cereals taken. even refusing to leave
enough for seed.
There are nearly 400 persons on the
place-nothing to wear-nothing to
eat-God pity them! The fences were
destroyed and all growing crops ruined :
no hope of crops this year. OF the
treatment of the unfortunate people 1
do not wish to speak.
The property was under the pro-
lection of an American consular let
ter. but they (the military authorities)
said they would not respect 1t. as they
had to ruin the place for fear the
enemy might take advantage Of the
hacienda. Enough was destroyed to
have fed the district for five months
1t will be some time before 1 can
figure up my losses. but 1 do not
think they will be less than 100000

Lately, in the vicinity Of Tampico, 500
beef cattle have been shot by the
various bands passing that way. and
in many instances the beef Is almost
complete waste, as they take only the
part Of meat they desire for their meal
and leave the rest to spoil, sometimes
removing the hide, as they can sell the
hides to the chiefs who ship them to
the United States and obtain good
prices. Many milk cows are destroyed
merely for the hides Of the cattle and
a piece of the beef.
Some of the soldiers who have begged
for the Red Cross corn said II am
trying to get out Of the army, but the
reason I am in it Is because 1 thought
I could get something to eat. as those
who do not fight down here have to
starve and the leaders tell US to take
a gun and Join a brigade and help
fight our way to some place where we
can find corn

Mr.. Porter was the first probation Of

been appointed July 20. 1912, for term
of two years. July II, 1914, he was re-
appointed and to his duties in caring

the trusteeship of the funds paid by
recreant husbands for the support OF
their wives under suspended sentences
The salary of the probation officer is
fixed at $4,000 and he is allowed an as
sistant at a compensation OF $500
United States Attorney Laskey had
an investigation made of complaints
that certain women entitled to pay
ments from their husbands under the
conditions of the suspended sentences
were not receiving prompt remlttarces.
1t was claimed that partial payments
only were being made by the official
following the receipt of the remit
tances and that the benefciaries were
required to wait some time before re-
ceiving the full settlement.
Called on to Explain.
The result of his investigation led
the prosecutor to lay the matter of the
methods of the probation officer before
the court Mr.. Porter was called on
for an explanation. with the result that
his dismissal was decided on.
The news of the discharge of Capt.
Porter. as he was generally known
about City Hall. came as distinct
surprise to his friends and officials not
conversant with the investigation
which had been pending. During his
three years service at the court Capt.
Porter had made many friends, who
expressed regret at his misfortune.
Before accepting the position of pro-
baton officer Capt. Porter had valu-
able experience among hayward boys.
He was for many years assistant su-
perintendent of the National Training
School for Boys.
The justices have not decided on
successor to Capt Porter. 1t is ex-
pected an appointment will be made
shortly. as the office demands an in
cumbent.
During his first term Capt Porter
had intrusted to his care 272 prisoners
whom the court thought worthy of
trial under probation. OF this number
only nineteen failed to keep faith with
the court.

RED CROSS NEEDS
FUNDS FOR MEXICO
Thousands Reported by Spe.
ciaI Agents to Be on the
Verge of Starvation.

Urgent need for funds with which to
supply corn and beans desperately
needed in rapidly widening famine
areas in Mexico is felt by the Ameri-
can Red Cross, which has practically
exhausted the funds in it's treasury for
this department of its many sided re-
lief activities.
Reliable reports from responsible
Cross continue to come daily to head
quarters here. telling of the plight of
thousands who are on the verge of
starvation in the more thickly settled
district of Mexico.
Some reports tell that military lead
ers pasture their horses in the best
corn fields rather than leave the fields
for the sustenance Of the women and
children, while the men are forced into
military service in preference to star
walton.
Red Cross Report.
The following is an abstract of a
reliable report on Mexican conditions
transmitted to the American Red
Cross:
THE customary thing for the Mexi-
can military leaders and troops Is to
turn their horses into the best-looking
yards, gardens or fields in the neigh
borhood where they happen to camp,
regardless of the protests and explana-
lions of the owner of the property,
who generally tries to set forth to the
offenders that the crop, If left to ma
ture, means more food for both man
and beast. In many cases protests
from owners or keepers of ranches
mean death. for that reason the small
or even large planters were too dis
couraeed to try to raise crops this
wear. They were afraid to remain on
