THE BEK: OMAHA, KATTHDAY, -MAY 2, 1914. Scenes When the Soldier Boys Were Starting for the Front V ANOTHER EFFORT TO NEUTRALIZE TAMPICO ZONE (Continued from Paso One) occupation ot Vera Cruz li to be perma nent or not. If once convinced that the American flag Is to float over this city until tran quility la restored throuchout the repub lic It Is entirely certain that tlio Mexi cans of Vera Cruz will siye their hearti est support to the American civil govern ment. They frankly admit that thoy are en joying greater freedom from apprehen sion, more personal liberty and a larger measure of prosperity, owing to the, In flux ot American money, than thoy have known In many years. Many eVeh say they would cheerfully subscribe to any policy of the United Btateo which, would Insure therfl p, .continuance of the present conditions -and the extension of these 'conditions to the Test of the'-republic?" '' Ambition Instead of I'atrlbtUfR. . Home care rut observers among lhJMex icans.'-hpwevcr do not believe that any thing short of complete American occu pation of Mexico would bring about the desired results. They point out that many faction are striving for power. The entire state of Morelos Is absolutely controlled by the followers of Zapata, while the state ot Guerrero Is under the Jurisdiction of the Flgueroa brothers. Furthermore, northern Mexico, nvuoh of the western coast and Isolated points elsewhere, such as Tamplco, are con trolled or hemmed In by tho supporters of Carranza and Villa, In the capital Provisional President Huerta Is In the saddle, but strong fac tions favoring Carranza, Felix Diaz or some other aspirant to tho presidency aro Intriguing against Huerta and each other. Zapata and the Kigueroa brothers have been running things In the country they control, without regard to any claim of a central power. Such states are virtually Independent principalities within the bor ders ot the distracted republic. This statement ot general conditions la made by Mexicans to support the Idea that complete American occupation Is tho only thing that will bring lasting peace. There Is also an element of Mexicans and American refugees now In "Vera Cruz who express doubt that the media tion undertaken by Argentina, Brazil and Chile or similar negotiations will brim about a stable coalition ot the warring factions. They are of tho opinion that personal Jealousies would prevent the selection ot any leader to represent them all, and they unhesitatingly declare that In their opinion ambition and not patriot Ism actuates a great majority of the Mexican facttonlsts. Some Favor I-tirtlnl Occupation. Another Idea -presented by thoughtful Mexicans Is that tho only solution of the problem lies in a partial occupation ot Moxlco by the United States and the es tablishment Under American protection of a government similar to the one formed In Nicaragua, which later would be suc ceeded by duly elected Mexican officials, the United supervising the elections an-l vouching for their fairness. The Idea Is -receiving, considerable endorsement from a group of Mexican officials who have remained in the city. The American authorities, civil, naval and army, are making every effort dis seminate throughout the republic of the benevolent rule already established in Vera Cruz. There Is reason to believe also that Washington Is quietly working to this same end through military and civil agents sent here to talk things over with representative Mexicans. These agents have been selected for their knowledge ot the Spanish language and their familiarity with Mexico and Mexi cans and they aro said to be making every effort to make plain the disin terested motives of the "Washington ad ministration as well as Its firm resolve that order be restored and a stable gov ernment erected. May Ellmlnntr Resistance. Close study ot the local situation leads to tho belief that by delaying any con templated extension of military opera tions, the Washington government feels there Is a prpbablllty that armed re sistance may be eliminated to a meas urcablc degree and countless lives saved. This Is thought to be the purpose ot the effort, to scatter broadcast through the territory toward Mexico City and send into the capital Itself a full account, not only of the kindly treatment given Mexi can here, but also of the number, effec tiveness and complete equipment of the army and navy forces now employed In Vera Cruz and their readiness for further use, it required. Mexican residents of Vera Cruz were free to expross today their conviction that the continuation In power of Pro- Ttsl'onal President Huerta is a matter of only, weeks at moat. "With tho sources of large revenues cut off here and on the western coast and Tamplco Isolated and likely to fall Into the hands of the constitutionalists any day, they believe General Huerta would welcome a devel opment In the situation which would af ford him an opportunity for escape with out loss of dignity. dividual!, are loath to part with them while tho mine guards retain theirs . Women Take Affidavit. The committee of women represent ing the Woman's Peace association of Denver today took affidavits of numer ous strike! a and strikers' wives regard ing tho battle of Liudlow April 20. At the committee's session at liudlow Major Patrick Hamrock, who commanded tho state troops at the Ludlow battle, told the women that during the fight at Forbes on Wednesday he, with 1W mili tiamen, sat in railroad cars ready to start for Forbes. They could plainly hear tho shooting, he declared. Re peated telephone messages to Governor Ammons, he said, failed to obtain per mission to move from Ludlow and go to the relief ot the besieged mining camp. The body of George It. Hall, a de fender ot the Forbes mine, waa found late last night. Coroner Stpe waa unable to reach Forbes to secure the body last night on account of swollen streams. He expected to send a party for the body today. GUARDS AND MINERS AGREE TO SURRENDER ARMS TO THE TROOPS (Continued from Page One.) and fired explosive rifle balls Into the n. P. She swore that she had seen and heard the bullet explode. "Several times during tho day of the battle I went from one tent to another an-1 I never made my appearance without being shot at," she testified.- "One bullet shot off the heel of my shoe." Woman'a Version. Mrs. Jolly gave her version of the be ginning of tho battle. She said that on the morning (Monday) after the ball game, four militiamen came to the tent colony and1 asked Louts Tlkas, (Louie, the Greek), to permit them to arrest a man, who, she said, was not In the col ony. Tlkas asked them for a warrant and demurred at a demand to produce the man at the order ot the military alone. "Louie said he would like to talk to Major Hamrock," the witness testified. "The major sent word to Louie to come half way to the military camp. Louie went to tho designated spot, but Hamrock was not there. Later he went to the Lud low station and met the major. "After his return to the tent colony Tlkas told me that he saw two machine guns near the railroad station. Major Hamrock said he would recall his sol dters If Tlkas would control the men In the tent colony. "Tlkas was on the way back to the tents when two bombs were fired and the shooting began." Mrs. Jolly said Tlkas was not killed until the night of April 20. Bhe did not see the Greek's death. She -eald she stayed In the tent colony until about 8:8), after the tire had been burning since between S and 6. I WALSKNUL'llG 18 DANGER SPOT Convey to me how I could get a girl and how I could get married. Inclosed you will find $1 as a reward for your services." The New York professor sent a pinch ot powder and told the young man he could get any girl he 'wanted by Just tossing the powder at the back of her neck when she wasn't looking. "She will lovo you more than anybody else In the world," the professor's letter concluded. "But you will be able to shake her whenever you wish." The professor, who also did business under the name of Stela Vrecarich, claimed his fairy pocketbooks could never bo emptied of money, and for $5 a purchaser could assure himself of never being without carfare.

In Fortune, Dloivlng We heard of a man In Montana who In herited a fortune of 6i,000. In two years' time he had spent It all (u riotous living, particularly in race tracks and stock horses. All who visited his stock farm were sure of plenty to eat and plenty to ilrlnk, and a fight or two always fissured those present or anything but a dull time. When his money was g-one he went to work for a living, and was seen by an icquaintancti running a hoisting engine at a coal mine. "How do you feel abcut losing your monev?" asked the visitor He replied: ' Oh. 1 feel lots better than I lid. and my wife feels better.

Surrender of A nun Delayed. TRINIDAD, Colo.. May V Major Hot brook stated that the federal troops have no Intention of disarming mine guards so long as they remained on company property and confined their activities to protecting the company property. Strikers today, Individually, spoke dubiously of thts arrangement. They seemed to be lli ve that they should not be disarmed until their enemies, the mine guards, were forced to deliver up their arms. It was forecast, accordingly by union officials, that today's referendum vote would be closer than If the knowledge were cer tain that the guards also would be dis armed, They say the strikers, who the union leaders claim own their arms In- POWPER COULDN'T HELP - i ' Fairy I'ocetltonka lluu Krapty, Too, nnd IiDcky .ItlnR- Wearer Lost Out. show that, while the rings cost the pro fessor 66 cents apiece, they cort Tils clients about $15 nplcce.

One letter from a saloonkeeper In Colo rado read: "You take the thing and throw It at your husband from behind In a manner so he will not notice It. You can per form this at any time In the day or at night." Prof. Aspra Gatallca confessed boforo Judge Thomas In the United States dis trict court that he sent these directions through the malls to unloved wives. By "thing" he did not mean axe, rolling pin, stove cover or any sort or household furniture. He referred to his magic powder.
