MEXICO JUST PLAIN
HELL SAYS PRIEST
Ruled by Demons, Declares
Father Tierney, In Reply
TO Tumulty.

ut is plain hell, Just plain hell ruled
By demons Of cruelty and bestiality;
and It will remain plain he'll until the
hand OF God smites the demons who
have devastated unfortunate Mexico,
the land Of weeping children and NAL
treated women" This Is the descrlp-
ton given by the Rev. r. II. Tierney,
editor Of the Jesuit organ, America"
Of the situation in Mexico, in this
weeks issue Of the paper.
Father Tierney's article appears un-
der Topics Of Interest-A Letter Re-
answered" and Is written as a second
reply 70 the recent letter o. Joseph
Tumulty. President Wilson's secretary,
ia which Il Is stated that the State
Department had no officially proven
charges Of the Mexican outrages as
alleged By Father Tierney and other
prominent Catholics.
Fathe- Tierney says that the second
reply Is made necessary by the incom-
pleteness Of his first reply, which was
written, he say, 20 prevent the obscur-
ing the issue between decent Amer
icans ana Mexican revOlutiOnists." The
priest asks II the absence OF Official
record Of "the dastardly crime against
Sisters disproyes the crime? He asks
= such reeo.d was ever on file and if
u was, what had become Of it, and II
not. why n-t?
Have similar records Been withheld
from the State Department" ?" the priest
continues. "An officer Of our army post
puts hi. signature % an affidavit in
Vera Cruz, attesting the crimes; the
State Department remains ignorant Of
them, and Mr. Tumulty declares that

WILD BEASTS SAVED
FROM BOY NIMRODS
Two Youths, en- Route TO Maine
Woods, Returned on Theft
Charge.

Two mighty hunters-James Ney, a
laundry helper, of ~ First Street, and
William Donohue, of $40 East Ninety
sixth Street-each seventeen years old,
were returned TO the arms Of New York
detectives last night by the police Of
Portland, Me-. whittier the two Nimrods
had travelled, it is alleged, on the pro
ceeds Of a burglary which had netted
$3.50 in valuables.
Deep was the chagrin of Ney and
wild the alarm of his protege, Donohue,
when the detectives of the Fourth
Branch Detective Bureau met them at
the pier when the Maine steamer North
Star arrived last night and informed
them that they we're wanted on charge
Of robbing the apartment Of Mrs. Annie
Telshow, Of 446 East Eighty-ffth Street,
last Monday,
1--WE were going TO Maine to hunt
wild animals" Donohue sobbed, and
said no more. Ney, the leader OF the
expedition against the fauna OF the
North, was more loquacious.
"The cops that held US at Portland
didn't give US enough TO eat" he sald
angrily. "They kept me locked up al
most a week, and didn't give me enough
TO eat TO keep a cockroach alive. Then,
when they sent me back 20 New York,
they made me pay a bill Of $3.50 for
meals and 60 cents for kilograms 10
the New York police, which | never
wanted them to send. They didn't
treat me right"
Indignation choked him for a mo-
ment, and then he went on with his
ale. A week ago, while taking his
dinner hour in strolling about the
street near the laundry where he
worked, he said, h, met Donohue, a
smaller boy, with whom he had
chummed. -.
Lets go up 10 Moose Lake, Me-"
Ney says he proposed. "and shoot wild
animals for their skins. / know we
haven't any money, but we can get II.
The police say the money was OBJ
tanned by the visit TO Mrs. Telshow's
apartment
Then. New said, they went to Port
land. Before starting Ney bought
pair Of long trousers for Donohue, so
the latter could be "a real man now
On Tuesday morning last an awe-in-
spring figure presented itself at the
window of the Portland Railway station
and demanded two tickets to Moose
Lake. It was James Ney.
He wore high boots, reaching nearly
to the hip. Across one shoulder he
carried a 30-90 repeater. Slung from
a belt that bristled with cartridges he
wore a ,32-calibre revolver and a long
bowie knife.
Behind this fearsome presence lurked
William Donohue with .22-calibre rifle
and a scared expression. The clerk
sold the pair tickets and then 'phOned
for the police. The return of the boys
to New York resulted.

skin them and sell their hides" said
Ney last night. eve would have made

what about Donohue, who only had

wild beast got after him? ?"
cav, he amt a hunter!" Ney re-
sponded scornfully "He was only to
shoot small birds for US to eat. If a
wild animal got after him he could
climb a tree, couldn't he"
The two were held for further exami-
nation to-day.

Statesmen Real
and Near.
BY Fred c. Kelly

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-When
man is about TO retire from congress
it is customary for him TO express
certain degree of pleasure over the
prospect of reentering private life.
And at least nine-tenthS Of those who
express this pleasure are Offhand
liars. 1t appears that the only cir
cumstances under which a man will
tell lies with greater alacrity is when
trying TO sell a secondhand automO-
bile. The average man who has done
time in congress desires TO remain
there. l have never been able TO fig
ure out why an able-bodied man
should desire TO tarry long in con-
gress: I only know that most Of them
do. rich and poor alike. Out of
number of expressions Of satisfaction
on the part of outgoing congressman
over the steady and certain approach
OF March 4. l have heard only one
that had the ring OF real truth and
sincerity.
That one came from Rep. Sanford
Kirkpatrick OF Iowa. Kirkpatrick
makes a plausible case for himself
when he declares that he looks at the
calendar each morning and counts
the days until he is again a free man.
For he has a valid reason.
II want TO get back into something
that will afford me a little fun and
excitement" he says After a man
has devoted a quarter OF a century
10 warning against crime and GRIM
inals X Is no fun TO sit in an ill
ventilated chamber merely listening
10 talk"
kirkpatrick was for more than %
years a government detective. AS an
agent OF the internal revenue service
he had gone all over the country in
pursuit of moonshiners and other
violatOrs of the revenue laws. That Is
why he cannot content himself with
the comparatively placid lie of con-
gresham.
Before I came here" says Kirk
patrick. II used 70 read OF fist fights
between members on the floor. II
such things ever did take place,
came too late Even such momen-
tary excitement as that has been
denied me during my term OF Office.
Years ago Kirkpatrick was shot in
/ the face by moonshiner and he re-
tains only four per CIT OF his eye
| sight. And he is % years old But
he would be keenly veXed with any

SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION.

A few years ago il seemed as if the
problem OF the country district school
had been permanently solved. thanks
To the idea OF concentrating schools in
centers. and Transporting the chill
dren. This idea has spread all over
the country. 1t has at least enabled
schools TO be better graded. Fewer
teachers and less janitor service do
the work. and a better grade of teach
ers can be employed.
As time has gone on the defects OF
the system become more apparent.
Except in the more southerly sections
of the country. there are many COM
plants about exposure OF children
during winter weather. The men
hired Is drivers are often not depend
able or responsible. Mothers dislike
10 send children under such care, par
ticularly during freezing or stormy
weather
Under the old time method OF small
district schools. the larger part OF the
children could go home at noon. even
through the bad travelling and cold
weather OF winter. transportation
makes it necessary for the youngsters
10 carry cold lunches
When the transportation idea was
first tried out. labor was less VEL
paid. \ competent man and tee m
coRld De had Cor reasonable price.
The cost OF running transportation
wagons has largely increased. Now

A few days ago an agent zephyred
into Kirkpatrick's office with a phys

kirkpatrick listened patiently until
the agent had said all he wished to

then he observed:
You've about 40 or 80 years young

vice, which 1 haven't got, for keeping
