Rev Stuart fully justified his repu-

speaker. and made many telling points
in the course of his address. This was
not his first visit to Staunton, he de-
clared, adding that he had many
pleasant recollections of former So
journs in the city.

Referring to the present age as
the greatest age of love for the past

Poems STARVE
200 Natives of Zacatecas Die
Because of Municipal
Neglect.

Neglect on the part OF the authori-
ties of zacatecas in allowing the sup
ply of corn meal intended for the pop
ulace to ferment, is responsible for the
death of 200 persons in that city every
day, says Macedonia Flores, who ar
rived in Juarez from Zacatecss and
Torreon Sunday
Conditions in Torreon are also bad,
according to the refugee. who says
that daily from 50 to 60 persons are
dying OF hunger in the latter city.
FL Democratic" a self-styled Con-
stitutionalist organ OF Chihuahua, in
its issue of last Sunday. which reached
Juarez Tuesday morning, admits that
the conditions in Zacatecas continue
bad" but adds that the authorities are
doing their best to relieve the situa-
ton
Crowds Wait For Food.
There are five distributing stations
for corn meal in Zacatecas. each with
a capacity of one ton" said senior Flores
Tuesday morning. The authorities
have allowed this meal to stay over
night after il has been boiled. despite
the facts that crowds are waiting for
its distribution since the afternoon
before.
las Il result of this delay in giving
the people the corn that is intended
for them, the food becomes fermented
and is unfit for human consumption.
"Work-that is what the people of
Zacatecas and Torreon needr' ex-
claimed senior Flores in conclusion.

After he had Joined the Huerta army.
Salazar crossed at Preside following
the fall of Ojinaga, and was arrested
on the charge Of smuggling ammunition
in New Mexico. He had previously
been arrested in FL Paso on the same
charge and had jumped his bond when
he was second in command in Juarez.
He was taken to Albuquerque, escaped
from Jail there, rode 10 the border near

Puebla to work in mine Soon after
this he was arrested in connection with
the Legalista plot and placed in the
federal penitentiary.
Escaped Lynching
Salazar probably never knew how
close he came to being the leading man
in a 'necktie party" in FL Paso on the
night the Santa Ysabel massacre vic
tins were brought to the border
Feeling among the friends of the dead
was high that night and.
when Salazar walked through the hotel
lobby. his presence was the inspiration
for organizing a little crowd of Amer
leans who quietly made their plans to
lynch the Mexican revolutionist The
picked men were stationed in different
parts OF the hotel, the automobile in
which Salazar was to be spirited away
was waiting at the carriage entrance
and everything was ready for the coup
at midnight In the meantime. one of
Salazar's friends learned of the plot and
hurried him across the line into New
Mexico.
Charges that Salazar lacked bravery
have been frequently made in FL Paso
and one man. upon hearing the report
Tuesday that he had been shot. declared
that, if the report of the execution was
true. il was the first time that Salazar
had ever been under fire.
