Il, 1907, Gov, Hughes removed John F, ECEMBE} Ahearn, earlier Tammany district leader, from the office of President of the of Manhattan. An investigation conducted by the Commissioner of Accounts, 6 hearings ordered by the Governor himself, had brought ont con- vinding evidence that while Ahearn was Borough President large sums of taxpayers’ money were spent without being properly account- ed tor; that over $14,000,000 expended in three yeara had gone in part to swell the profits of favored contractors who charged the city what they liked regardless of eurrent prices for labor and materials; Boroug! | that asphalt concerns were paid for repairs they had contracted to \ make without charge; that payrolls were padded with the names of | men who were never employed, . i For proved misonduct in offi _ from office, as provided by the law. | | Yet ten days later, on the afternoon of Dee. 19, 1907, the Man- } “hattan Aldermen defied Governor and Mayor, and by a vote of 24 to | 12 restored this same Ahearn to the office of Borough President of | Manhattan, { Because the Tammony Aldermen who voted that afternoon for } Ahearn’s re-election obeyed the imperative, explicit orders off—m man whose power tl held greater than the authority of the Governor of New York State or the ruling of the Mayor of New York City. Because that man, although he held no public office and recog- nized no official responsibility to the people of city or State, could nevertheless defy the laws of both, put Ahearn back in office and keep him there until nearly two years later when the Court of; Appeals definitely sustained his removal, | The man who possessed this power and used it in contempt of | Oonstitution or Charter was Charles F, Murphy—the same who has picked a Hylan for Mayor of New York. .

This means beyond all doubt that the great work of popularizing war loans has not been undertaken in vain. It means that American workers and wage-carners have come to see Liberty Bonds for what they are: The best proof of patriotism, and'at the same time the readiest means of saving with the surest) return that can be found anywh , i It means that the plan urged by The Evening World and enthu-| siastically adopted by the bi { savings banks in this eity, whereby depositors and the public are invited to subseribe for bonds at the! ings bank and to pay for them in instalments out of future earn-, ings, goes to the very heart of the problem by putting the small in- vestor and lirect with the nation’s needs through the saving habit which he knows to be, for his own interests ae well, the most profitable that he can cultivate, The day after this newspaper pre following message from Washin ‘To the Fditor of The The Evening World's proposal for a Liberty Bond eam paign among Ww is admirable.

Our war with Mextco was reaching its climax, Gen, Winfield Scott with 10,000 troops was marching on the City of Mexico, with the hope of selzing the enemy's capital and thus ending the war, ; be The Mexican General, Santa Ana, had spent months in fortifying not only the capital itself, but the ap proaches to it. About 30,000 Mexicans held the forte that guarded the city. Scott found that only the direct approaches were The Fall of San Pablo. guarded to any great distance, To avold these he nowg took a roundabout route which brought him within ten miles of the City of Mexico without encountering any severe obstacles, On Aug. 11, 1847, he sent Gen.

Scott reached San Augustin, nine miles from the City of Mexico, From One led through the village of Cheruburco, the other through Contreras village. The Mexican General, Valencia, with 7,000 men held the Contreras forts, Santa Ana in person commanded the larger forts at Cherubusco, Scott sent his left wing toward Contreras, holding back his right+to launch against Cherubusco, The Mexicans’ outer fortifications were carried after a fierce hand-to- hand fight that lasted just seventeen minutes. ———e Then followed a quick serics of attacks and The Rout at } counter-attacks all along the Contreras line. But Contreras. under the stress of the Yankees’ continued charge: — soon the Mexicans broke and fled, leaving behin | them 800 prisoners and 1,700 dead and wounded. Five hundred pack mules and twenty-two cannon also fell into the hands of the victors, While the battle of Contreras was waging the right wing of Scott's army was advancing on Cherubusco, There was a clash with the Mexican vanguard, This offered only a half-hearted resistance and soon fell back upon the main body for support, | Presently the easy advance was halted, for the Mexican Army waa offering stubborn resistance. From the roofs and windows of the village @ destructive fire blazed into the American ranks. | Scott had about $000 men with h Keeping up his attack from the front, he despatched bodies of troops to fall on the enemy's right and rear. | Then began one of the bloodiest and most desperately contested fights jof the whole war. The Megicans battled bravely and held thelr own. Nor jat first could the American charges make any jmpressién on their fortified line. ‘The central point of defense was the Church of San Pablo, from whose | roof and tower a battery acourged the assailants. With an irresistible rush lthe Americans carried another Mexican battery nearby and turned its cap- ‘tured guns on San Pablo. Meantime the flanking force of Americans (sent around to attack the Mexican rear) had become bogged down in a swamp, and 4,000 Mexicans on | higher ground were pouring deadly fusillades into the struggling ranks. At Jongth the Americans climbed out of the marsh and in a single wild assault succeeded in routing the 4,000, Under the new bomtmrdment from the captured Mexican battery San Pablo's guns were silenced, A storming party rushed i the church's last defenses and selzed the guns on the roof, The fall of San Pablo seemed a signal for a * wholesale Mexican retreat. ‘The defending army— lor rather Its surviv ed in pell-mell haste, leaving the road to the r for the Yankee invaders, al American loss at Contreras and Cherubusco tn killed and a was 1 The Mexicans lost 4.000, and 8,000 more were taken prisoners.
