 From what l have known of Gen. eral Wood I would not suspect him for moment of doing the things himself which are being charged against him in this campaign.

MEXICAN PRESIDENTIAL
 CAMPAIGN HAS OPENED

Mexico City, March 22.-Thousands thronged the streets of Mexico City today to greet Ygnacio Bonillas, the Mexican ambassador to the United States, who has announced his will Engness to become the presidential candidate of the civilian party in the general elections to be held July Il. The demonstration was considered as a first real presidential campaign ga thering and as marking the climax of the preliminary canvass. Except for a few slight disorders which were summarily quelled by mounted police the demonstration was not marked by Untoward incidents.
 Senor BonillaS could not be seen at the termination of the reception. but it was stated his formal announce- ment would probably be delayed sev- era1 days until he had concluded con- ferences with leaders of the civilian party. Newspaper comment and pub lished interviews with other candi- dates and government officials would seem to indicate the presidential fight
 has narrowed down to contest be-
 tween Senor Bonillas and Alvaro O5-

MURDERS IN IRELAND
 MAKE A LONG LIST

London March 22-Dispatch from Ireland during the week end show the murder of Thomas MacCurtatn, Lord Mayor of Cork, to have produced an intense if subdued sensation through out Ireland. This tragedy says the Times correspondent in Dublin, clos ed one of the blackest weeks since the list of outrages in various parts Of the island, including five murders of policemen and others, and an attempt to kill Prof tockley of Cork.
 In Dublin consternation was ere ated by the. a assassination of Lord Mayor MacCurtain. and the citizens are looking to the future with anxiety and alarm. The motive of the nlur- der continues as mysterious as ever, No arrests have been reported, nor, so far as known, have any clues to the perpetrators been obtained. Among
 the theories advanced is one that the lord mayor was murdered as warn. ! ing to others because he recently had the courage publicly to deprecate an tempt to murder a policeman in | Cork
 London has been deeply stirred by 1 the incident and newspapers which l crime, maintain it does not differ from | those which have long errorized Ire ! land. It Is declared, Ireland for the moment, Is largely under the domina- | tion of secret murder societies, the members of which are sworn to kill | those whom they believe to stand in 1 their way, but who the conspira tors are puzzles the police as much as the l public. It is remarked as a phenom- enon that where murder societies ex- 1 ist members after a while begin to be suspected of murdering each other.
 Existence of these supposed societies is declared possible owing to the
 moral cowardice Of the Irih public, D and that the crimes the societies com 1 nit are fepugnant to the better part ] of inn Timers, who, however, i,eep silence. fearing the onsequences Ii they condemn assassinations.
 Even newspapers which support home rule, while condemning whal
 they regard as the preseGt evil system
 of Irish government, also denouHtt Irishmen themselves for concotins
 methods whichthey say are fast ef.- tablishing a condition Of anarchy and
 terrorism under which theIr own lead

cAucusEs ON SUFFRAGE
 HELD IN DELAWARE

Dover, Del, March 22.-Caucuses of republican and democratic members of the state legislature which con vened in special session here today, at which it had been planned to de- eide the parties courses on the suf- frage question, tonight were post poned until tomorrow. The meetings are expected to be held after Gov ernor Townsend delivers his message to the legislature. In the message the executive Is expected to make a strong plea for the ratification of the suffrage amendment
 There was much jockeying among members of the legislature today on the suffrage question, the anti-stf- frage leaders declaring that if the question was brought up this week Jt would meet certain defeat. The suf- frage leaders who previously had in- sisted on immediate action now are seeking delay, it was said, in lope that more favorable sentiment would develop. In this connection Senator E. A. Poole, one. of the suffrage ad- vocates, admitted that the amend. ment's position was insecure at thi. time. Representatives of both the repub lican and democratic parties have ar
 rived here to urge ratification ana
 tonight the passage or rejection o
 the measure seemed to rest largel, | upon the success or failure of thei
 efforts.
