PR NEW BRITAIN HERALD NEW BRITAIN, CONNECTICUT, SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1914 —TWELVE PAGES. Torreon Occupied by Rebels Despite Reports to Contrary Mexican Government Issues Denials — Reports from the Front Emphatic. ‘Torreon, Mexico, April 3, via. El Paso, Tex., April 4.—This city, from which Gen. Rufugio Velasco and most of the uninjured of his command fled yesterday, was today occupled by the rebels in force, and the work of burn- ing the bodies of the dead, clearing away the wreckage of shell-shattered abode walls, street barricades and barbed wire entanglements was be- gun. ‘When Villa took a considerable number of prisoners, Velasco, es- caped from the Canyon de Huarache with a large part of his force. He was pursued last night by Gen. Her- nandez, who today reported that he had fought a small rear guard en- gagement with the retreating force, and later Villa with reinforcements left here to make an attempt to cap- ture or annihilate it. Non-combatants here with whom The Associated Press correspondents talked today, estimated that Velas- co’s garrison did not number more than 5,000 men, of whom 1,600 were killed or wounded. ‘When Velasco fled he left behind in the military hospital 200 wounded. ‘When the rebels entered the place they found only one nurse, Dorothea de La Cruz in attendance. She said the other nurses followed the army. The patients were in a high state of anxiety, for ‘they had been told that Villa topk no prisoners, They were reassured by H. 8. Cunard-Cum- mins, the British vice consul at Gomez Palacio, who entered the hos- pital first, climbing over bodies of the wounded who had died there. The ‘ajr' was foul with the odor of dried blood. The British official an- nounced that Villa had assured him none of the wounded would be harmed. ‘Those Who had the strength raised themselves on their elbows from pallets on the floor and from their cots and cried a feeble “Viva Villa!” The nurse was soothing a dying patient, who with his last breath Jolned the cheering and then sank back dead. Federals Execute ; Three Spaniards Pemnl who say -they were eye witnesses declare that Velasco sum- marily = executed” three Spaniards whom he accused of firing on his troops. The 'wife of one of these, Lotero Lopez, attempted to shield her husband, and the same bullet killed hoth. A Three hundred and fifty Spaniards, including women, and: children, took refuge in a bank building under the protection of American Consul Ulmer, who remained in town throughout the battle. The insurgents have shown no disposition to harm those Span- iards who are known to have re- mained neutral. Other foreigners, in- cluding fifty-five Chinese, Syrians and Austrians, and 100 Americans, were unharmed, so far as could be learhed today. It was reported that General Velas- co himself was wounded but this re- port. like the one that he went in the trenches, could not be con- firmed, and the impression prevails that he still is at the head of his troops. Two federal generals Wwere killed and three wounded. It is sald here that Velasco’s retreat was brought about by his losses in the night assaults made by the rebels | and indications that his soldiers, worn out by the prolonged fighting and fear- ful of the cruelties which they were told Villa practiced on the wounded prisoners were on the verge of mutiny. Rebels Gather * Many Recruits s N In the course of the house to house fighting rebels and federals frequent- ly came with talking distance of each other /and in some cases got on such friendly terms that they ceased firing entirely. In some of these cases the federals were per- suaded to remain when Velasco re- treated, and they will be enrolled un- der the rebel banner. At least a fortnight and probably longer will be required to reorganize the army before the expected cam- paign against Saltillo and Monterey can be made. Rebel leaders are awaiting news of the political effect of their victory on Mexico City and Washington. The federal artillery was superior tq that of the rebels, many of whose shells proved defective. Villa was the very soul of the bat- tle. His spirit animated ‘everything. couraging or reprimanding as the in- dividual case required. “Well done!” he sald to the gunner whose shell had fallen true. ‘“‘Men like you will redeem Mexigo,” he com- plimented a wounded man who re- mained on the firing line. “What, boy, do you find the danc- ing floor too rough?” he| chided a soldier who on some pretext was making for the rear. Villa was in his headquarters at Gomez Palacio Thursday night when Torreon fell. Almost up to'the hour of thd federal flight he could not see the end of the battle and that moru- ‘{'ing had telegraphed for bigger can- non, for it seemed as if his artillery was inadequate to dislodge the enemy from their positions in Huarache. His black, thick hair was mussed and standing straight up for the most part, and a six day stubble of beard was on his face. News of the evac- uation had reached him and he smiled, fairly purring his answers to ques- tions put by newspaper men. “Tell the public that after eleven days’ fighting the federals evacuated Torreon, leaving their dead and wounded behind them. That is all,” he concluded. Huerta’s Troo; Insult U. S. Flag Stories are told here of alleged in- sults to the American flag perpetrated by federal soldiers who were enraged by rumors ‘' that a large number of Americans, were in Villa's army. As a matter of fact there were but nine. None of them was killed or woundea, Dr, A. N, Carr, an American resi- dent of Torreon, wag the.only physi. cian on duty when the rebels took the town. He transferred his services to Villa and the latter instructed him to continue his work in the hospital. The formal entry into the city was without ceremony. The victory has greatly raised the spirits of the sol- diers, who have come through a very trying campaign and who now talk confidently of taking the mnational capital itself. Government Denies Fall of Stronghold Mexico City, April 4.—The federal government still obstinately denied today the capture of Torreon by the rebels. It was, however, assumed n many quarters that General Huerta and his ministers were not in ignor- ance of the fate of that city. It was suggested that the reason for withholding the news from the public was based on psychological rather than on military grounds. It wes pointed out by serious-mind- ed people here that the‘temperament of. the Mexican populack was such that news of a disaster llke the fall of Torreon might .easily = start an avalanche of public opinion against the administration, which would thus find .itgelt seriousy embarrassed at a critical moment of its career. The taking of Torreon gives the constitutionalists control of practi- cally balf the republic' with the ex- ception of . the gities ‘of Saitillo and Monterey. " So rar 4 I RHSWHHers "t 0. ) eral troope still have poksession of the railroad between Torreon and Saltillo, at which latter place connec- tions can’ be made with the wuch Opposition to Federal Retreat The rebels, however, infest the region along this main line to the south of Saltillo. One body of them, under General Eulello Gutierrez, has its ‘headquarters at Conception Del Oro, the terminus of a branch line from Saltillo and within striking dis- tance of the main line. The pres- ence of this body and that of other rebel forces in the same vicinity ren- ders improbable an unopposed re- treat of the federals towdrd the south. The railroad which connects Tor- reon and Zacatecas to the south has long been out of commission and now serves only to mark the trail over which Velasco and his troops will have to march. Before reaching Zacatecas it is thought to be certain that Velasco will encounter the rebel forces under .Gen. Panfilo Natera end probably will suffer from flank- ing attacks by rebel troops from Durango. Military men not intimately con- nected with the federal administra- tion express the opinion that' Velas- co’s retreat will resolve itself into an effort of each man for himself. They say it is most likely that the next move of the rebels will be to start campaigns against Saltillo and Mon-, terey and possibly subsidiary expedi- tions against Zacatecas, directly south of Torreon. At the same time the rebel task of attacking and capturing Tampico, on the coast of the Guif of Mexico, continues under the direction of Gen. Pablo Gonzales from his headquar- ters in the city of Victoria. Another large quantity of small arms and machine guns, although it is not to be compared with the amount captured at Torreon, was added to the rebel supply this week when a federal force under Col. Enriquez Perez was cut to pieces to the northwest of the city of San Luis Potosi. The generals of the federal army, | Moure and Hidalgo, are satd . When things were going wrong he; 80, aTe to have would gallop along the battle line en-| twenty or thirty fleld guns and a large supply of ammunition of all calibres. Hidalgo is believed to be at Saltillo, but is reported to be en- deavoring to join Moure east of Tor- reon. Villa Is En Route For San Pedro Juarez, Mex., April 4-—The opinion that General Villa intends to take every advantage of the Jefeat of the federals at Torreon was expressed here today. It was based -on the in- telligence officially announced last (Continued on Ninth Page.) ¥ |MERIDEN MAN coMEs TO BRICK EXCHANGE C. W. King Sales Agent for H. Wales Lines Company, Will Succeed E. W. Stearns as Manager. C. W. King for the past twenty- four years associated in an important capacity with the H. Wales Lineas com- pany of Meriden, has been engaged to succeed E. W. Stearns of Berlin as manager of the Central Connecti- cut Brick exchange of this city. He will assume his new duties Monday, May 4. Mr. ,King is married and he and his wife have a large host of friends in the Silver City. He came to the Lines company in 1890 as a book- keeper, and was soon promoted to the sales and purchasing department where he has been a big factor in the development of that company. He holds a position as wholesale agent. His resignation has been tendered the Meriden firm and will take effect April 25. “I have nothing to say in any way, shape or manner,” was the only statement which E. W. Stearns would make when interviewed by a Herald Tepresentative this afternoon. He has, however, severed-all connections with the brick exchange and will, un- doubtedly, identify himself with some other concern before long. EXTORTION CASE GOES T0 SUPERIOR COURT C. H. Hovey of Springfi_eld Held in $10,000 Bonds for Higher Trbunal Hartford, April 4-4:h.uncey H. Hovey of Sprimgfleld, Mass., was bound over to the criminal superior court under $10,000 bonds in police court this morning. The original charge of attempted blackmail was changed to ‘extortion. Hovey is the man who threatened President Dun- ham of a local insurance company with death unless Mr. Dunham gave him $5,000, and when he was arrested late Monday afternoon he gave Detec- tive L. G. Melberger a fierce fight, the officer firing two shots from his re- volver. Hovey mpd to Illnot )(olm nr, but it was it m& not npradenlsd By coun- sel today. The measenger boy, Louis O'Malley, who carried Hovey's .mes-/ sage to Mr. Dunhlm. told his story to.the cdurt. Détective Melberger re- lated the incidents ‘connected with Hovey’s arrest. Hovey sald he knew the gun was not loaded and he did not try to snap it, He said he had no intention of resisting arrest until he thought of his wife and children and then he lost his head. MRS. ANTHONY SENT T0 INSANE ASYLUM Mother, Who Drowned Her Two Children, Believed to Be Feeble Minded. Greenwich, Conn., April 4.—Mrs. Helen Anthony who drowned her two children in a bath tub in her home, March 19, was committed to an in- sane 'asylum today, for e period of three years. It she is in normal health at the end of deténtion period she may be released. Mrs. Anthony was taken into court from the General Hospital The complaint against her was that -of murder based upon Coroner Phelan’s finding. The coroner also héld that she was sane when she committed the deed. William F. Anthony, the husband, Dr. J. A. Clarke, who had attended Mrs. Anthony, Dr. W. L. Griswold and Dr. A. W. Klein told of the circumstances of the finding of the children, Vivian, aged 8 and Mar- jorie, aged two, and of the woman’'s condition. The physicians said that they belleved she was mentally un- balanced at the time she ended the lives of the little ones and tried to kill herself. Dr. Clarke sald he had found, prior to that time, that Mrs. Anthony firmly believed she had con- sumption and was going to die. She also worried lest her children should have the same disease, Mrs. An- thony is not i1l from consumption. Judge W. L. Tierney said that the statutes gave him the choice of two courses, either to hold the woman for trial in the superior court or to send her to an insane asylum. On the strength of the opinion of the doc- tors and the woman’'s appearance in court, he took the latter course. Mrs. Anthony sat in the court room and paid no attention to what was going on. WEATHER. Hartford, April 4.—Fair wnight and Sunday. UPROAR 1S CAUSED AT PASTOR'S. TRIAL Jane Est ndeavors to Force Her Way Into Metropolitan Temple. AFFILIATED IN 1. W. W. OUTBREAKS Mrs. Dohl Testifies That Improperly Approached By Dr. Price. and Was Warned Not to Be a Witness. New York, April 4—Jane Est, here- tofore jdentified with movements of the Industrial Workers of the World, created consternation at the Metro- politan Temple today by trying to force her way into the trial of Dr. Jacob E. Price, pastor of the Wash- ington Heights Methodist Episcopal church ‘'whom nine women members of his congregation charge with mis- conduct. At the door she was confronted by Dr. Frank J. Belcher, pastor of the Five Points Mission, acting as attor- ney for the defendant. “I want to see Dr. Price,” she con- tinued. “I'd like to see him try to kiss me.” It had been chargéd that Dr. Price, among other things, tried to kiss a woman member of his congre- gation. Crowd Follows Woman. Followed by ‘the crowd, the man succeeded in pushing her way into the temple but could get no far- ther than the witness room. Here she described herself as a ‘“church cleaner.” During the I. W. W. raids on New York churches recently Jane Est was a prominent speaker. She compared the movement te the French revolu- tion. Mrs, Dohl on Stand. Mrs. Hilma Dohl, whose testimony was excluded yesterday because her charge- was not included in the gen- eral complaint, was allowed to take the stand today. She sald she had been improperly approached by Dr. Price and that she had subsequently. tried with threats and intimidation to prevent her from testifying. She had decided, she said, not to press the charges on account of her children, but upon opening the Bible for inspiration her finger fell upon a verse. which seemed to urge her to action. F. W. MINER' IMPROVED. Condition of Lincoln S. Risley Still Remains the Same as Yesterday. Friends. of .ex-Representative F. W. Miner will be gratified to learn that his condition shows slight signs of improvement today. Dr. Kellogg's latest bulletin is thet “Mr. Miner is slightly improved today, but he is still seriously {1L” The condition of Lincoln S. Risley still remains much the same. He is in a dangerous condition, but Dr. An- derson does not anticipate any im- mediate crisis today. ONLY A YARN, SAYS HANNA. Local Sportsman Not After Haven Team. William Waldorf Hanna, the local sportsman and former baseball and polo magnate, denied this afternoon New | that he was angling for the purchase of the New Haven club of the Bastern associatioh, as was stated in a morn- ing paper. “There’s absolutely nothing to it,” was his laconic reply when asked if the story was true. According to reports from New Haven, George M. Cameron, owner of the club, who is in a Chicago hos- pital, is giving Mr. Hanna's offer ser- ious consideration. - Mr. Hanna made an attempt to buy the New Haven club a few months ago, but since then, he says, he has made no attempt to put through the deal. BOY THIEVES SENT AWAY. Julius Blum and Zigmund Jukene- wicz were sent to the State Schoql for Boys in Meriden and John Prosum was placed on probation by Judge James T. Meskill in police chambers this morning when they were charged with burglarizing the Burritt school one night early this week.

Oakland, Cal., Apjril 4.—Suit to re- cover $700,000 willed to the University of California by the late John K. Sather, who died in 1911 was ordered instituted here today by her step- daughter, Mrs Josephine Sather Bruglere. The attempt to break the will of Mrs. Sather is to be made on the ground that the laws of California forbid any decedant to bequeath more than one third of an estate to any public or benevolent institution when there are rightful heirs. The gift to the university, according to Mrs. Brugiere's. attroneys, embraces at least nine-tenths of Mrs. Sather's wealth. To make the gift doubly sure, Mrs. Sather in 1900 conveyed a deed in trust to President Benj. Ide Wheeler of university, acting for that institution. In this deed was transferred a busi- ness block in Oakland valued at $700,- 000. Under the terms of the will $200,000 or this was to be used in the construction of a white granite cam- panile 300 feet high. Already the frame of steel towers above the other buildings on the university campus. Endowments of approximately $100,000 each were made for the es- tablishment of the Sather chair of classics and the Sather chair of history in the university. MORE SUBPOENAS ISSUED FOR ROAD OFFICIALS Interstate Commerce Com- mission After Facts Con- cerning B. & M. R. R. Brugiere New Haven, April 4.—More sub- poenas were served by a federal mar- shal today in furtherance of the plan of the interstate commerce commis- sion to obtain the books and papers of the N. Y., N. H, & Hartford Rail- road company which will show de, talls of the sale of the Boston and Maine Railroad to the Billard com- | pany, which had been formed to take over that property. The subpoenas served today were upon A. S. May, tfeasurer of the New Haven company, and Arthtir A. Bowman, an assistant to the treasurer. The subpoenas served yesterday were upon Samuel Hemenway, president of a bank here in which the railroad company did much of its banking; Harry W. Whipple, pres- ident of another bank; John L. Bil- lard of Meriden, Samuel C. More- house, an attorney who was among those which represented various rail- road interests in the legislature; Ed- ward B. Fleld, treasurer of a de- partment store, and former President Mellen of the New Haven company. It has been known that for some days additional examiners for the interstate commerce commission have been looking over stock transfers and other books of record of the New Haven and the Boston and Maine companies. A short time ago federal agents asked for 'special reports on the handling of full car lots of cer- tain commodities, and clerks in the freight traffic receipts department had to be assigned to hunt up infor- mation to which records had not been kept in minute detail as this mostly had to do with trunk line shipments and not to local freights. Most of the information wag need- ed for special purposes bearing upon rate controversies on other lines. ‘WILI; INVITE CANDIDATES.
