Four Passengers Killed, in

MEXICO CITT. April JO. The week
end special train for Cuernavaca, "S
miles south of here, was shot up and
wrecked, presumably by rebels, last
night at El Farue, a few miles from Its
destination. Three passengers and a
negro porter were killed and several
others were Injured. - The engineer Is
missing.
Among those killed was Pr. Pehr
Olssen-Seffer. a botanist. of repute, who
"formerly was attached to the depart
ment of the Mexican government as an
expert In rubber culture. A brother of
Ir. Olssen-Seffer Is at Madison. Wis,
attending the state university. It Is
not expected that any International
controversy will ensue as the result of
the killing of Dr. Olssen-Seffer for It
Is doubtful If he could have estab
lished his right to citlsenshlp in any
country. His parents, who are yet
living near Oakland. CaU are Swedish.
He was born In Finland, but when a
boy went to Australia, where he lived
for many years. - From Australia he
went to California, where he became
an Instructor In botany In the Vnlver
Itv of California.
There he was married to an Ameri
can girl and some years ago he came
to Mexico. To his friends the doctor
frequently said he was one of those
men without a country. At the time
of his death he was vice-Consul here
for Portugal. A few weeks ago he was
chosen for the chair of botany in the
newly-created Mexican Vnlverslty.
As a tropical agriculturist rr. Olssen-Seffer
was regarded as an expert.
He was sent on a tour through the
tropical world by the government and
since his return he has been closely
Identified with the government In Its
efforts to develop not only the rubber
Industry but all forms of tropical agri
culture. Second Tragedy Knacted.
The tactics of the rebels were sim
ilar to those employed a few days ago
when they held up a train in Cajones
and wiped out a detail of 0 Federals.
The enginemen were given a signal
to stop, but crowded on steam Instead,
fearing that an attack was Intended.
As the train rushed past the point
where the rebels were stationed, a vol
lv was fired through the windows of
the chair car. Once out of range of
the firing the train slowed down, but
not In time to avoid being partially
wrecked through the tearing up of
the trar-ks.
Running down to the right of way
the rebela warned all passengers not
to leave the scene- of the wreck until
after the second art of the tragedy.
Crowded back as far as possible from
the debris, the men. women and chil
dren waited while the rebels chatted.
Freight Fireman Killed.
In a short time the reason of the
delay was apparent. .There came in
sight on the heavy grade a freight
train. Had any one of the passen
gers been permitted to leave a warn
ing might have been given to the crew.
Too late the engineer of the freight
saw the wrecked train. The brakes
were applied, but the grade waa too
ateep and the heavy train crashed into
the derailed passenger coaches. Tha
fireman was killed and the engineer
and coalpasser were badly scalded by
escaping steam.
Recently the government began send
ing troops over the main line of the
National railroad between here and
Laredo and In pursuance of their threat
the rebels repeatedly have Interrupted
traffic on thmt line. The latest In
stance was last night, when four
bridges were destroyed north of San
Luis potosl. So far no train haa been
fired upon, although they have- been
searched.

BT every token Frederick Warde. vet
eran follower and exponent of the
Bard should have been pleased with
the welcome he received on his return
In "Julius Caesar" at the Helllg. Leav
ing the dramatic stsge for six years of
lecture work, and then returning aa
Brutus In this historical tragedy, the
actor was hailed lnet evening with de
light by an audience which gave verS
evidence of appreciating the best and
highest in dramatic art.
Mr. Warde has alwaya been a prime
favorite locally ever since his first ap
pearance here in Julius Caesar, then at
the old New Market Theater many years
ago. Ills presentation of the claeslo
last evening may rightly be regarded
aa one of the most notable events of
the local dramatic season.
His eelectlon of the play Itself has
been a happy one. Inasmuch aa Julius
Caesar Is one of the most popular of
Shakespeare's works. It Is In the curri
culum of ail the achools. It afford
every contrast of types of manhood, la
more educational In Its general lines
and makes an 'appeal to all people.
The role ' of Brutus is also happily
chosen, far It sulta Frederick Warde aa
he Is to.f?y. He Invests the part with
every dignity. During the 41 years this
actor has been before the public he
has been the companion and co-worker
of such famous players as were Booth.

exponents of the classic drama on the
Kpglish-speaklng stage, and today up
holds and demonstrates the same high
standards and fine acting ability that
has made his name known.
In the big quarrel scene of the fifth
act Mr. Warde evidenced passion not
unmixed with reticence. He waa tre
mendous In his deliverance of the
mighty lines given to Brutus.
Mr. Warde a Brutua Is a splendid por
trayal of "the noblest Roman ofthem
all." Mr. Warde'a son. Emeet Warde,
as Casslus the lean and hungry Cas
slus proved himself worthy of his dis
tinguished parent, and waa a most ex
ceMrnt foil for the elder actor. The spec
tacle of son and father participating In
the marvelous cllmaterlc quarrel scene
was one of the extraordinary stage epi
sodes not usually given to the average
audlenre to witness. The younger Warde
la a discriminating actor.
Edouard D'Olse showed real fervor In
the Impassioned oratory of tha funeral
speech, and received repeated applause
during the deliverance of his lines. Ar
thur Hohl made a virile Caesar. The
mounting of the production Is only fair,
and In no sense pretentious, probably
because '"the play"s the thing."

ON this, her second visit to Portland,
"The Girl From Rector's" played
to good patronage yesterday afternoon
at the Bungalow, where she has come
to flirt and fritter with amusement
seekers for a week.
Tha farce has undergone several
surgical operations since Its last ap
pearance here, and has been lopped off
here, taken in there, spliced or cut
out In various ways, until Paul Potter,
the author who is responsible for the
frivolity, would probably not recognize
the show. This is not to say that all
the objectionable linea have been elim
inated, for If they were, the plot, the
players and the Girl. In particular,
would not have a leg left to stand on.
The story is the usual one. of French
origin, of marital Infidelity and esca
pades. The lady from Rector's Is a
flirtatious maiden who spends ' 10
months of each year frolicking on New
York's gay White Way. The rest of
the year she poses at her home In
Battle Creek. Mich., as a philanthropist,
moralist and respectable matron. Of
course, the Inevitable "complication" is
brought on by the habltuos of her New
York haunts meeting her relatives and
her husband, all as invited guests at
a wedding. That the bridegroom Is one
of the "Girl's' friends In the city, and
the father-in-law-to-be is also a friend
of hers, and many other of the male
members of the party only adds to the
"complicatlona."
Every little person has a little af
fair all hta own. Rveryone seems to
have belonged to some one else at some
stage of the game, hut In the last act,
by previous arrangement with the
playwright and as a sop to public
sentiment, all the couples are paired
rightly.
Charles Walton. In the leading male
role, is a very capable actor and has
an ingratiating personality. John A.
Boone affords real comedy In his por
trait of Colonel Andy Tandy.
Anita Allen Is a pretty little maid
Angelica. - The role of the Girl is
played by a damsel who. having neither
physical charm, youth nor voice, put to
utter rout that adage of vice coming In
the form of loveliness.
George W. Paige. In the really comi
cal Impersonation of a professor of
science, gives the audience several
cheerful Jolts.' The bill will continue
all week.

James McNamara entertained himself
with a . technical magazine, reading
with apparent avidity an article on
"What a Thousand Pound of Dyna
mite Will Do."
McManlgal' preference seemingly
lay tn narratives of adventure, and the
story he read this afternoon was en
titled "Throwing Death Off the Trail.
It waa a day of rest for the detectives
who have been working on the case.
Detective Seraeants Reed and Btddlng-

All day today a curious Sunday crowd
warchad the Jail.
The police and Burns' guard is still

back and forth along the two street
sides of the prison, while special guards
are still maintained Inside of the Jail

Gathering More Evidence.
r.n tha nart of the Burns' men and
the District Attorney, one of the chief
objects this week will be to locate the
boy who saw the Times dynamiters
within the ) Angeles Times building
the night of October 1 and the watch
men who stopped them as they were
entering the alley to place the bomb
hat datrnved the building.
Until Ortle E. McManlgal had made his
alleged confession it was not known that
anvone had seen me aynamncia
the building on the night of the explo-
-i., h.it MrManleal said Bryce McNa
mara told him that he and M. A. Schmidt
met an aged watchman at the entrance
nt tha allev at the rear of the Times
building and also that in the basement
of the Time building a boy approached
them and asked for whom they were
lnnklnr. According to the coniession
of McManlgal. Bryce told the boy he was
looking for one of the mechanical de
partments of the newspaper and the boy
went on alter giving mo y "i unc
tions. Whether the youth who gave those di
rections lost his life and was one of the
10 who were killed in the explosion that
was caused by the dynamite and nitro
glycerine, la a question the detectives
are trying to clear up.
Messenger Strenuously Sought.
There waa a messenger about the
building but his name and address still
are unknown. The detectives are re
doubling their efforts to find the youth,
as his identification of James W. McNa
mara as the man he saw in the building
would be the strongest piece of evidence
yet secured by the state, notwithstand
ing the alleged confession of McManl
gal, which is not direct, it is said, aa he
did not take part in the Loa Angeles
Times dynamiting, the chief case against
the accused men. The watchmen .who
were on duty at the entrance to the al
ley will be taken to the prison thla week
to aee if they know either of the prison
ers or If they recall having seen either
of them about the Times building at or
about the time of the explosion.
The men who were acting aa watch
men remember seeing a number of men
and Inquiring their business but from
the photographs of the accused prisoners
cannot recall them.
However, they will be given a chance
to see them. There was some excite
ment about the County Jail today when
a woman heavily veiled was seen to
enter and It soon beoarae known that
she had seen the prisoners. The story
gained circulation rapidly that the
woman was Mrs. Belle Lavln. of San
Francisco, at whose home M. A.
Schmidt, wanted as one of the dyna
miters, lived for a time before the
Times explosion. The woman wss Mrs.
Moitava. landlady of a local lodging
house, who believed one of the men had
stayed at her place here a couple of
months ago. She could not recognize
either of the men.
Rogers Refuses to Talk.
. Attorney Earl Rogers, who waa In
charge of the Times dynamiting inves
tigation for several months after the
explosion, and who. as special prose
cuting attorney, aubmitted to the grand
Jury the mass or evidence he collected
and which resulted In the returning of
23 Indictments, returned to Los An
geles late last night and announced
then thst he might have a public
statement to make today.
Rogers refused absolutely to say
what position he will take In the case.
It Is understood, however, that his fa
miliarity with it will make It almost
necessary that he. assist the prosecu
tion at the trial.

the large number of saloons, he de
clared. "No official can .take the stand in
favor of anything that Is so question
able that It is difficult to distinguish
it from a sparring contest or a prize
fight." he said. "The statement that it
will bring money to the city is the pus
llanimous way many officials and cities
have of believing that all money left
in the town is gained. They may gain
ten dollars and Jose ton hundred. The
money brought to this city by those
who attend the amusement is spent aft
er the stores, for the most part, are
closed, so the profit is only for the
promoters and the saloons."
