PITIABLE STORY OF
 MEXICAN REFUGEES
(From Wednesdays Daily.)


 Passing through yesterday for Ere donia. in Northern Coconino county, were Mir. and Mrs. Cyril c. Hudson, the latter in very poor health, after submitting to indignities while in | Eastern Sonora. where her husband and others formed a small settlement with other American colonists, over two years ago
 The he1disn treatment received ny Mrs. Hudson at the hands of ma-- auding band of Villa sympathizers occasioned her husband to leave the country and their accumulations. In addition to quite a sum of money many head of livestock, and personal effects were forcibly taken from them as well as other settlers. Said M-. Hudson:
 Our plight Is but a repetition O. other tales of mistrearment which has been imposed upon the American. in racial hatred so manifest in that country The European, however, has escaped the cruel treatment so viciously centered on our race. for reasons we do not know. 1 could re cite some of the most inhuman crimes wilfully perpetrated upon chasse womanhood by some of the barbarous natives, but of this you have probably been aware before this. At the pres ent time the country is seethi1g with rancor and hatred toward the Ameri- can. and the longer our troops stay in Mexico all the more perilous is the situation to face those who remain behind and for the present carrot get out. At Naco we heard of the death four days before of a relative of Mrs Hudson. He prob ably resisted an assault and was slain. like other Americans. We will locate probably i1 Southern Utah."

RICH STRIKE MADE
 IN OLD TUSCUMbIA
Ore Shoot 50 Feet Long and Carrying $253.68 Per Ton in Silver
 Is Opened Up.

and chairman of Yavapai county's board of supervisors. and ]. H. Rob inson. secretary of Arizona Chapter of the American Mining Congress. These men are familiar with the ore occurrencies in the Bradshaws and will lend valuable assistance in the future development of the Tuscumbia property. As outlined. the plan is to prosecute development work in the high grade silver-copper ore shoot opened in tunnel No. } late in March and at the same time to sink the main working shaft to connection herewith. This will afforl an ade- quate circulation of air and make easily accessible an area of profitable stoping ground.
 Shows Native Silver.
 ''So far as determined the ore shoot is 50 feet in length and from four to five feet in width. The quartz along the footwall shows considerable 1a- tive silver. The vein is strong and well-defned and is making into the lode porphyry. Persons who are ia miliar with the ore occurrencies at Tonopah will grasp the significance of the fact last mentioned, as the veins in the lode porphyry there arc the ones which carry the values. The vein in the Tuscumbia IS well-mi1er- alized to the north and south of the high grade shoot. and at a point 500 feet in from the mouth of the tunnel samples S55.32 in silver and IA per cent in copper to the ton. Vein and values are continuous in the tunnel and warrant sorting of the ore with view to future shipments. We pur- pose to break ore for shipment in the high grade shootsjust as soon as we have caught up considerable area of caved ground, have installed the nee essary mine appliances and cleared the workings of muck.
 Roseate Prediction.
 "If the Tuscumbia mine were in Tonopah the owners would have no trouble in either leasing or in dispos- ing of the property outright at good figure. I believe the mine will prove to be another Mizpah, and I shall not be surprised if camp is eventually established in the Bradshaw noun tains of equal importance and richness to Tonopah."

Princeton, N. j., April 20. - With
D. benignant sun and an unruff1ed sur
face of water, the Princeton and Har-
ward crews took their final workouts
on Lake Carnegie this evening and
completed the real work of prepara-
ton for the opening race of the crew
season to be held to-day between A
and 5 o'clock.
Princeton is ready. All preliminaries
are completed, and the chance for a
Princeton victory looms much bright
er on tthe eve of the race than at
the start of the week.
The Crimson has advantage of
weight, experience and power, but a
comparison of the two crews on their
final workout gives the impression
that if ineXperience does not defeat
the training in form that the Tigers
have received in the last few weeks,
their beautiful stroke should make
the result to-day a very close one.
But Harvard is a slight favorite.
Harvards junior crew should have
an easier time, for the Tiger seconds
have experienced q shake-up as re-
Gently as yesterday.
Lieutenant Ingram of the Navy. will
referee and Alfred Noyes, the Eng
lish poet, will act as judge at the
finish. Princeton has the southern
course for both races.

test between Freddie Welsh on May

held outside of the larger cities.
frankie Mcclure who meets the
champion is already in training.
The collegiate rowing season opens
to-day at Princeton. Harvard crews
competed aginst the Tigers late this
afternoon. While Princeton appears
to be q big favorite unusual interest
is manifested in the result because of
new rowing antics recently introduced
at Harvard On Saturday Yale and
Penn will meet in Philadelphia.
One fact cannot be denied. The At
lantic League has the strong support
of every newspaper on the circuit. At
the meeting in Philadelphia yesterday
the writer's were present and later the
league officials gave them big dim
ner An organization of sport writ
ers was completed, to include news
paper writer's on the circuit.
This is the day the Pennsylvania
State League officials expect definite
word as to protection. The necessary
cash accompanied the application
made one week ago and Secretary
Farrell was requested to notify all
cities not later than Thursday. Many
players are holding out until it is de-
finitely known that organized baseball
will be q feature of the new organiza-
ton.

sters lifted the lid at Shibe Park to-
day. The Athletic pitchers are still an
enigma, but Manager Mack believes a
long stretch of warm weather Will put
them in better shape.
Central High will have q tennis team
and will compete with other high
school teams, all reports to the con-
trary Notwithstanding. Six tennis
courts will be constructed at Front
and Seneca streets, and practice will
start within three weeks. These courts
will be for students of Central High
school. For the present no courts
will be located in the Hill district. All
necessary tennis equipment will be
furnished by the school.
Assistant Superintendent of Parks,
V. Grant Forrer, is of the opinion that
the track at Island Park will be ready
for practice periods by Saturday The
ground is still too soft. Part of the
cinder track has dried out but the
stretch is too small to permit any sat
isfactory work. Local athletes hope
to be able to get at least three days on
the track in order to develop speed.
Baseball and trapshooting will he
in lively competition on Saturday
Throughout the city there will be
amateur games on every field. Tech
