BURIAL PLACE
FOR EXECUTED
Father of Pair Who Tried
to Assassinate ObregOn
Claims Bodies

MEXICO CITY, Nov. "a GA
cemetery on a hi-bop near the Quad
alupe shrine, witch is bound by ira
dition close to the hearts Of Mexican
Catholics, was chosen as the last
resting place for three OF the four
men executed this week for an at
tempt against the life of former
President Obregon.
The fourth body, that of Juan
Tirado, lay in the morgue at the
military hospital tonight. Officials
said Tirado probably would be buried
by the state unless relatives claimed
his body before morning.
The bodies of Luis Vilchis, the
Catholic priest Augustin Projuarez,
and the priests brother Humberto,
were placed in black coffins for their
interment this afternoon at the Tep-
eyac cemetery, about two and a half
miles from the capital, near the
shrine where Saint Mary is reputed
to have appeared to peon.
The bodies of the priest and his
brother were claimed by their go
year old father, Miguel Projuarez,
who learned of their execution from
his son-in-law. who had gotten the
news from the glaring headlines OF
newspaper extras when he left his
office at noon for luncheon. His
young daughter, Ana Maria, who
vainly had sought admittance to
police headquarters to bid her BROTH
ers, farewell before their execution,
confirmed the son-in-law's news later
The aged man went with faltering
steps to the military hospital to claim
the bodies His set, features did not
betray hissenotion, although his voice
trernbled when he asked: where are
my sons? I want to look at them"
Inside the morgue he lifted the
cover of the priests coffin and kissed
him. He wiped drop of blood FROM
the. priests forehead with his hand
kerchief, which he carried away with
him with the air of holding a
treasure. He then paid similar
farewell to Humberto.
Ana Maria, who had accompanied
him, was unable to bear the sight,
and fell into the arms Of her father
He pushed her away murmuring.
After the formalities of turning the
bodies over to him were completed,
he and his daughter marched away
behind the coffins
Sonora Carlotta Segura mother Of
the electrical engineer who assumed
entire responsibility for the plot to
aSsassinate Obregon, learned of her
sons death yesterday when she ar
rived at police headquarters with a
luncheon for him, She was accom-
panied by a servant. A guard who
was unwilling to break the. news to
her called the servant aside and gave
the information that Segura had been
executed.

Foot Stamping Passes

German soldiers. has been abolished.
The practice, it has been decided, jars
the nerves of the Tofnmies.
On guard duty the feet we're stamp
ed at every turn, and the expression

In the semi final Kid White was put
to sleep by Jack Beaver in the third
Stanza of a scheduled eight-round go.
Beaver is rated as one of the most
scientific boxers in the district and
White had a hard time of it, although
he carried the fight to Beaver during
the first two rounds. White claimed
that he slipped and his hit head in
stead of going down to Beavers right.
He has challenged Beaver for a return
match.
Speed Ball Rogers got the decision
over Kid Lee in the SiX-rourd special
event. Lee is good fighter with lots
of experience and he stayed with his
opponent all the way. Rogers was a
bit the heaviest and used his weight
and what skill he possessed to advan-
tage. A feature of this entire card
was that the fighting was clean and
all the battlers played up and to the
crowd. There was no foot racing in
the arena.
In the four-round special event
Spike Riley went against Bear Cat
Robinson and for the first two rounds
the Bear Cat took the Spike to a
cleaning, Robinson tired at the end
of the second and failed steadily in
the third. In the fourth Stanza ne
could not get them over and Spike
cheWed him up and got the decision
nicely. This bout was worth all the
admission money.
The curtain raiser was cross be-
tween championship bout, attempt
ed murder and. comedy. The affair
was grudge match between two
heavy boys with no ring experience to
speak of and they went in to finish
the thing and settle all their differ
ences in the first ten seconds. Their
will to do or die stayed with them but
their wind did not and the battle
ended with wild ruSheS and reellngs
1t was good. The boys were willing
and took everything that was thrown
at them and gave all they had back
The judges called it a draw and the
crowds cheered it,
Lieutenant Andrews acted as referee,
Lieutenant Luongo was timekeeper
The money taken in will go toward

announced last evening following the
fight that he was planning to stage
another one in the near future. Hel
said that there were a number Of
challenges that have come up as al
result of last nights fracas which must

number of coming boys in NogaleS

here and get some fights with the
crack mitt artists of the camp. 1t is
expected that the, date for another
fight card will be announced shortly.
The card last evening is the first ever

"The fight was continued in the
plaza with the aid of the forces of
President Diaz, and after a few
hours, Zeledon gave it up as his mu-
nitions were exhausted. Owing to
Mena's surrender he had not been
able to receive those he expected nor
the reinforcements from Granada.
"Zeledon was pursued, overtaken,
captured, killed. How? The patriots
maintain that he was captured and
assassinated. Those on the other
side say he died of his wounds. His
tory, which will take possession Of
the victims name to honor it as it
deserves, will clear up this point; for
we do not wish to take this task upon
us, even with the documents before
us, for fear of being blinded by adj
miration for the hero and indignation
against those who were the execu-
tors, both of him and of his coun-
try" (Doctrina Wilson-By Poll
carpo Bonilla, ex-president of Hon
duras.-Emphasis mine.).
THE press of American imperial
L ism pictures the Nicaraguan
masses-all Latin Americans for that
matter-as plant instruments in the
hands of INSCRIPTIONS politicians.
The record shows, however, that
Latin-American populace has been
far more discerning in this respect
than the American masses. The fact
that war can be waged on nation
of 100000 people by Wall Streets
government, that it has been waged
off and on ever since 1908, without
any effective protest in America, and
with millions of people believing that
no protest is justified, is proof of
the ease with which the American
masses have been deceived and the
need for agitation to bring action.
A MEXICAN armed forces are in
n Nicaragua to stay and to make
similar forays on the neighboring re-
publics when it suits the purpose of
Wall Street to have this done.
They will be withdrawn only when
the workers and farmers of both con-
tinents unite their forces against the
common enemy.
The history of the determined
struggles against imperialist aggres-
sion, like those in Nicaragua, show
that the American masses need not
fear that their Latin American
brothers-in-arms will be backward in
the fight.
All over Latin-America the work.
ers and peasants form the great ma
jority of the population. The increas-
ing necessity for resistance to Amer
lean imperialism will tend to give
their organizations and economic
struggles an increasingly revolution
airy character.
In Mexico, Central and South
America are the allies of the Amer
lean masses. Together they will
write the next chapter in the history
of the struggle against imperialism in
the Western Hemisphere.

|Nicaragua's Struggled Freedom

overdue and this was the public rea-
son given for the conspiracy against
Nicaraguan sovereignty and the APP
plication of the doctrine of "force
without stint or limit"
The answer of the Nicaraguan
masses was one of the most touching
evidences of their willingness to sac
rifice personal welfare for freedom
from imperialist domination. The peo-
pie began to raise money by popular
subscription to pay the debt. Ugarte
says:
Nothing could be more painful
and moving than these lists, in which
were to be seen the tears of a nation
atty. The newspapers Of Nicaragua
of March 12, 1912, set aside wide
columns in which the most humble of
ferings could be read side by side
with the contributions of the moneyed
classes; Samuel Gavarrete, his whole
possessions; Louis Delgada, the pro-
ceeds of the sale Of her bed; Juapa
Gutierrez, the house where she lives;
Laura Rogue, her sewing-machine;
Manuel de Aragon, day laborer, the
value of twelve days work; Raman
Robleto, his cart with two oxen;
Joaquina Velasquez, licensed mendi-
cabt, her days collection, 20 centa-
vos."
.VTOLUMES have been written on
v the subject of the sacrifices the
French populace made to pay the in
demnity demanded by Germany after
the war of 1901. Particularly in
America was a paean Of praise to
the French sung when the house of
Morgan drove this nation to war
against Germany to protect the loans
made to France and the other allied
powers. But no American writer has
yet felt inspired to write the epic of
the sacrifices noted above.
But the efforts of the Nicaraguans
were not confined to attempts to pay
off the American usurers in gold.
Many Nicaraguans gave their blood
and lives in the struggle against 'the
colossus OF the north.
.NTICARAGUAN exiles in Costa
1NRica, Julian Yrias, Rodolfo Espin-
osa, Alexandra Bermudez and Gen.

petition to assist the national revolu-
tionary movement headed by General
Mena.
American troops were landed to de
fend the puppet government set up
by the American state department, the
town of Masaya was bombarded, Eel
edon killed and the revolution crushed.

what he needed to know. Now the
light was out, and Bunny would
have to see by his own feeble Ian

Jagged flash of lightning before
his mind was that X-ray picture

from this world; a brute with a

it.
Rachel put her arms about him
and sought to beguile him with
caresses. And she succeeded, Of

love. So presently he slept lit

cause he would jump and start
in his sleep, his limbs would quiv-
er-just the way she felt when
the great guns went off!
What was Bunny doing? Fight

and hatchets and iron pipe? Or
back in the old days, when he had
lowered over Paul and Ruth,
watching events that wrung his
soul? Watching Dad deprive the
family Of their land; watching the
oil operators crush the first
strike; watching the government
tear Paul away and make him in
to a strikebreaker for Wall Street

capitalism with its worldwide

and there, harry him, malign him,
threaten him--until at last it
hired the brute with the iron pipe!

1t was long after midnight; and
Rachel sought to draw Bunny
away. There was nothing more
they could do, either for Paul or
his sister. There was a small hotel
a few doors away, they would get
a room there, and rest, and the
hospital nurse would notify them
if there were any change. And
Bunny yielded; he must not be I'M
fair to Rachel. He knew there was
something unnatural about his own
devotion to Paul, the subsection of
his mind to everything that Paul
thought, the exactness of his men,
DRY of everything Paul had said.
Yes, BERTHE had told him that, and
then Vee---and now Rachel!
He could not sleep. So, lying a
bed in the hotel-room, he explained
IT, to her; how Paul had come when
Bunny was cropping for something
different and better in his life.
Paul had given him an ideal-some-
thing stern and Misunderstanding
cheney, independence of judgment,
determination to face life and UNI
derstand it, and not be drawn away
in pursuit of money or pleasure.
Bunny had not been able to follow
that ideal--no, he had lived in lux
ury, and gone chasing after wo-
men; but he had had the vision,
the longing to be like Paul.
And then, at each new crisis in
his life, Paul would come along, a
sort of standard by which Bunny
could measure himself and what
he was doing, and realize how lit
tie success he was having. Paul had
taught him about the workers, and
how they felt; Paul had been the
incarnation Of the new, awakening
working-class. Paups mind had
