Col. Miguel Baca Wales, a
Mexican Bandit, Exc
cuted To-day
WAS BROUGHT BEFORE
A FIRING SQUAD
Protested His Innocence Up
to the Moment of
Execution

FL Paso, Jan. ls.--Colonel Miguel Baca
Wales, bandit chief captured at Palo'
mas, was executed early to-day by a
firing squad at Juarez. Two bullets
fired at close range entered his heart.
Over 100 refugees from Chihuahua ar
rived on a special train from Mexican
mining centers to-day. 1t is reported
that groups of Villa bandits are scour-
ing the country, stealing from the for
eigners property of value. The refugees
said nobody, so far as they knew, was
molested after the party of Americans
massacred a week ago.
General Huerta's widow, in a person
al telegram to President Wilson, urged
him to stop the persecution of her fam
lily.

tion. Before being shot the prisoner
said: Il am not responsible for Villas
acts. / beg to see your general" The
officer commanding the firing squad said
he had orders to kill and the execution
followed.

To Cope with Smudge at the "Templeton
House." North Main Street.

I Twice within a comparatively few
hours firemen were called to the big
house at the corner of North Main and
Granite streets to fuss with stubborn
little blaze in refractory chimney.
Around $3.50 o'clock last night occupants
of the house sent in telephone call and
the auto truck with handful of fire.
men responded. Back of an ornate mar
BILE front fireplace, long in disuse, the
firemen found sizeable niche in which
shoes, bottles, cans, etc, were stored.
Live Goals dropped from a stovepipe con
nection above were responsible for the
blaze, which was quickly extinguished.
When a second call came at II 80 o'clock
this morning, Chief Gladding and his men
wasted no ceremony in getting at the
seat OF the trouble. The ornate front
was removed forthwith and quantities of
SCOT were taken from the space in the
rear of the fireplace. There was very
little damage.
The building, as well as adjacent prop
erty connected by sheds, is owed by the
Barre Savings Bank & Trust company.

apartments believe that a fire smoul-
lered in the hidden wall compartment all
night, although the firemen were inclined
% the belief that fresh Goals from the
stovepipe ignited the rubbish again. No
more trouble is anticipated.

SYSTEMATIC NATIONAL DEFENSE
Urged by Secretary of War Garrison
Opposition Well Organized.

New York, Jan. ls.--An appeal to the
people of the United States to organize
in support of a systematic national de-
fense was voiced by Lindley NJ. Garrison,
secretary of war, in an address last night
at the annual banquet of group eight of
the New York State Bankers associa-
tion. Group eight is composed of the
bankers of New York City.
Secretary Garrison declared that the
opposition to national defense is well or
ganized and that unless the people of the
country urge upon Congress that they
desire adequate national defense the pres
ent system, which the speaker said was
utterly inefficinet," would be retained.
National defense, the secretary stated,
must rest upon national forces. Unity of
responsibility, authority and control is
the essential principle of all military af-
fairs, he said. A real military policy,
Secretary Garrison asserted, must be con-
tinental in scope, and the federal govern
ment must be in authority. All propos
ais, he said, to build q military system
for the United States upon the basis OF
state troops are proposals to continue a
situation that is "illusory and not real,
that is a sham and not substantial, that
is mockery and not honest"
The secretary said that while there is
among military experts as
to the particular number of troops need
ed, all views agree upon the essential
principle that the troops should be ma
tional troops. There must be, he eontin-
ued, a regular stadning army and organ
lied federal troops subject to instant call.

church tteated a party of friends last
evening to a personally conducted tour
of the quarries and stonesheds, making
the trip more interesting by side glances
from time to time upon various other
views along the roads of central Yer
mont. The season being an mcomfort
able one for motoring, the trip was made
within the confines of the church parlors
and the scenery was provided by a series
of lantern Slides The views presented

self and were taken during some of his
trips to the localities represented,

the East Barre road, showing some aban-
doned quarries on Cobble hill; from this
place the scene was changed to the three
quarries of Wetmore & Morse. F. l..
Smith & company and Boutwell, Milne &
Varnum, where the sight seeing party
was given good idea of the size of the
stones and the methods employed in get
ting them out. The conductor of the
party, like the 'megaphone man" he
claimed himself to be, had a list of sta
tistics in regard to the various firms who
operate the quarries, the figures being
taken from personal letters received by
him during the last few days.
After leaving the "hill" the party was
conducted to several Of the manufacture
ing plants in the city and the processes
necessary for the changing of the rough
stone into the finished monument were
sketched Several of the machines were
shown in position for work, the big saws
and lathes being among the ones Of
greatest interest.
Among the side glances were views of
