TIIEIORXIXG OREGONIAX, MONDAY, MARCH 2, 1914. HUERTA INSISTS ON GUARDING LEGATION Dictator Says He Proposes There Shall Be No Justifi cation for Marines. POLICE PROTECT CLUB Increase in Distribution of Anti- American Circulars Gives Rise to Belief Agitators Had Planned Demonstration. MEXICO CITY, March 1. President Huerta. insisted today on furnishing a special guard . for the American Em bassy. The executive told Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American charge d'affaires, that probably there might be justification for the presence of a guard and as he deplored the bringing of marines to the capital for that pur pose, lie himself would provide a lega tion guard. The guard had not been provided for the Embassy tonight, but six .po licemen did appear at the American Club. They were acting under "su perior orders" and the reason given for their presence was that "something unpleasant might occur and the gov ernment is disposed to use every means available- to protect foreigners." The policemen remained on duty un til a late hour, when. Mr. O'Shaugh nessy, at the suggestion of the manage ment of the club, requested their re moval. The request was complied with. ',' - The Chief of Police said he had or ders to place the men at the club to night and Instructions to arm them with Mauser rifles tomorrow. In the absence of any apparent rea son for the presence of the guard at the club, it was suggested that their presence there was a mistake and that it really had been intended to send them to the Embassy. Mr. O'Shaugh nessy held this belief, for although President Huerta had suggested to him that the Embassy might need more of a guard than the ordinary two police men and the charge d'affaires protest ed to the contrary, Huerta replied that he would order that policemen be sent to the Embassy anyway. The increase in the distribution of anti-American circulars has given rise to another suggestion that agitators iiad planned an anti-American demon stration and that the police, discover ing this, determined to prevent it. the effects of t nervous collapse. Mr. Noonan had been ill about 10 days. He had been ailing for about two months, due, it-was said, to his exertions in promoting the new Broadway. Theater this Winter. Mr. Noonan first came to Portland about four months ago after leasing the theater site. He was 36 years old, and was unmarried. He is survived by a brother, Robert F. Noonan, of Condon & Noonan. The body will be sent to Chicago tonight. Interment will be in the family plot in that city. Mr." Noonan was at one time man ager of the Iroquois Theater, in Chi cago.

He was vice commodore of the Associated Yacht Clubs-of America, in which capacity he managed the regatta on Lake Michigan last August. The funeral service will be held In Chicago, according to the rites of the Catholic Church. - Management of the Broadway Thea ter will be immediately assumed by Robert F.

OURAND NAMED POSTMASTER MYERS, OF PORTLAND, NAMES NEW ASSISTANT. EARL MINTO, RULER OF DOMINIONS, DIES Life of'ex-Governor-General of Canada, Viceroy of India, Full of Honors.. MANY CAMPAIGNS SEEN BliXTON 0 SHOT IX STOMACH Washington Informed Briton Un.-iriued VYlien Killed. Was WASHINGTON, March 1. According to information which officials here re gard as trustworthy, William S. Benton, the British subject killed - at Juarez, was unarmed, and was shot to death in Villa's office, pistol bullets through the stomach ending his life. The statement adds that Benton spent two hours waiting for Villa on the visit that end. ed in his death, wal"king back and forth in front of the office building in which Villa had quarters; that he was shot through the stomach in the office and received other wounds, afterward, although the first was mortal. The post mortem, it is said, may serve to confirm the character of the wounds, though the probable state of the body in a. tropical climate 11 days after death may defeat even this purpose. General instructions as to the method of examination to be pursued were is sued today by the State and War de partments to their representatives at El Paso. It is expected here that membs of the international commission will jour ney to Chihuahua on the special train proffered by General Villa, and it was said the commissioners would choose the time of their departure as well as the time for the examination of Ben ton s body. The examination of the body is to be conducted entirely by the United States authorities, the British view being that the responsibility rests on the State Department, which has undertaken to get at all the facts, just as it would in the case of an American citizen's murder. Rumors that tentative efforts have been made by the constitutionalists to ulacate the British government by the .offer of a money indemnity to the widow prove to be groundless. VEKG.VRA IS REPORTED ALIVE Mexican Genral Sujs American ' Rancher Escanedlo Rebels. EAGLE PASS, Tex., March 1 Clem- ente Vergara, the American ranchman, reported to have been kidnaped by Mexican federals and hanged at Hidal go, Mexico, is alive, according to Gen eral Guarjardo, a federal commander at Piedras - Negras. General Guarjardo said today Vergara escaped from his captors Saturday and joined a party of constitutionalists. .The rumor that Vergara might be alive first gained circulation among Mexican federal: troops in Nuevo Lar edo two days ago, but efforts to trace it to an authoritative source failed. Inquiry at Piedras "Negras today elic ited vague answers and finally the question was put squarely to General Guarjardo. He briefly indicated that Vergara was alive, and when pressed for an explanation refused to go into details further than to say that Ver gara had escaped and had joined the constitutionalists. So far none of the federals In this vicinity have attempted to explain the Kidnaping of Vergara, which was seen by - both his wife and his nephew. They saw him clubbed over' the head and dragged away by five Mexicans, led by Apolonls Rodriguez, identified along - tie . border as a minor federal leader. United States Consular officers who investigated at Hidalgo, where Veraga was reported to have been ex ecuted,, said there seemed no doubt of his death. Ill-Health Causes W. E.

New Thomas Noonan, lessee of the new Broadway Theater, now under con struction on the old library site at Broadway and Stark street, died at St. Vincent's Hospital Saturday night from Only Two and One-Eiehtli Yards of Pink Chiffon Mixed in Willi Julia Carle's Attire. CHICAGO, Feb. 24. Miss Julia Carle appears 14 times every weeK oeiore about 1600 persons each time, wearing 42 well-matched pearls, one cent's worth of Java rice powder (natural color) and two and one-eighth yards of pink chiffon. That's why she has applied to Major M. L. C. Funkhouser. second deputy general superintendent of police, for the position of censor of motion pic tures and other theatrical productions in Chicago. Her chief qualification. Miss Carle says,, is the fact that she will know at a glance whether the 'movie" rep resents an effort to teach a great moral lesson. The 42 pearls, the rice powder and thc,lun'on,.pl'us .her experience on the stage, she told Major Funkhouser, were her "stock in trade" for the new job. "I really mean it," she said. "I would quit in a minute to take such a position. Those who interpret, not merely work, on the stage strive to educate and uplift. It's hard when one is suspected, is criticised and con demned and has no 'come-back.' "As" censor I could . shape the edu cational and uplifting influence of a thousand "movie" dramas, and kill the evil influences of 50 stages. It would be an opportunity no actress ever had. "The very fact my costume -s so er brief is a recommendation. 1 and my companions have dressed to per fect a picture of beauty. We never have been called immodest by anyone who has seen the whole performance, if that person was accompanied by a woman." Major Funkhouser promised to con sider her proposition. Miss Carle is principal supporting woman with Gertrude Hoffmann in a local theater. GIRL FURNISHES MYSTERY Young Woman Found Wandering Loses Her Memory. NEW YORK. Feb. 22.

The Earl of Minto, ex-Governor-General of Canada and ex-Viceroy of India, died at Ha wick at 4 o'clock this morning. He was born In 1845, and after his education at Eton and Cambridge, there were 30 years filled with brilliant - 1 IP V rt been forecast weeks and months la ad- ; vance by the Santa Clara Meteorologi cal Observatory, it was said Saturday. The forecasts have been made by Dr. Al bert Porta, associate of Rev. Father J. S. .Ricard, but it has been decided that they shall not be made public Dr. Porta predicted the Japanese earth quake, the Reno shakes, the recent temblor In New York City and those recorded at St. Ignatius School, Cleve land, and St. Louis, Thursday night. The forecasting of earthquakes la di rectly related to the position of sun spots on the surface of the sun, it is explained. When the revolving un beings a spot within a quadrilateral 70 degrees square on the side of the sun facing the . earth, there is a danger period, which increases as the spot nears the solar axis. When it crosses the solar axis there is invariably an earthquake. The situation of the earthquake de pends on the position of the sunspot on the surface of the sun. One -sunspot may be responsible for several earth quakes, depending on bow long it main tains its position on the sun's gaseous surface. Dr. Porta is said to be engaged In the preparation of a book dealing with the science of predictirig. earthquakes by the position of spots on the sun. Predictions are now being made as far ahead as next December. EASTERN CASTS ASSURED MARY GARDEN AND TITTA RTJFFO COMING SOON. Earl Minto, ex-Guvernor-General of Canada and Viceroy of Canada, Who Died This Morning. exploits as a soldier, six as Governor- General of Canada and five in govern ing India. lie was in Paris during the commu nists' uprising in 1871. He followed the Carlist army in Spain as a war cor respondent. He observed the operations of the Turkish army on the Danube, and was present during the bombardment of Nokopolis and the historic crossing of the Danube. He was with General Rob erts in the Afghan campaign and later served as his private secretary in South Africa. He fought the Egyptians as a Captain of mounted infantry in 1S82, and was severely wounded at Magfar. Northwest Rebellion Checked. Later he became military secretary to Lord Lansdowne, the Governor-General of Canada, and during this service he helped put down the Northwest Re bellion as chief of staff under General Mlddleton. Returning to his home land, he served as BrigadierGeneral of vol unteer infantry in Scotland. When 43 years old. Lord Minto was appointed Governor-General of Canada, and there won-rcnbwn as a statesman and diplomat. In his speeches he shwed deep .affection for America. . 'I predict a great future for the western continent," he said, shortly be fore he died. "It is a land of incal culable riches. Northwest Canada to day offers some of the. greatest oppor tunities in the world." In the time of Lord Minto's reign in Canada.-the Boer, war broke out again. Canada was called on for volunteer troops. In this emergency the vast knowledge he had gained in his 30 years of soldiering was of inestimable benefit. Canadian Soldiery Organized. He personally saw to the organizing and equipping of that splendid con tingent of Canadian soldiers which ar rived on the South African battlefields as one of the best-trained body of sol diers In the war. Great as was his service in Canada, the British public will probably best remember him as Viceroy of India, the successor of Lord Curzon. One of the unique reforms that-Lord Minto insti tuted in India was the use of finger prints on money orders in the postal service. He closed his long public career in 1909, when he resigned from the Viceroyalty. Lord Minto was possessed of great wealth, most of which he inherited.

VIRTUES AMD VICES TOLD Ex-State Health ' Officer of Oregon Answers Well Meant "Digs" In Keen Address Which Pleads for Medical Advance. Members of the medical fraternity of Portland met at the Portland Hotel last ni&ht at a dinner In honor of Dr. Woods Hutchinson, formerlystate Health Of ficer of Oregon. The' dinner was ex cellent, but the zest of the function came in the after-dinner toasts, which were billed as "roasts," with Dr. Cal vin S. White, Wocds Hutchinson's suc cessor in office, as "roastmaster." Responding- to the various "roasts," "His Virtues" (Woods Hutchinson's) were proclaimed by Robert C. Coffey, "His Vices" by Dr. Walter T.. William son, "His Ancestry" by Dr. K. A. J. Mackenzie, "His Modesty" by C S. Jackson and "His Publicity" by John F. Carroll. Then Dr. Hutchinson was given an opportunity to strike back, a task at which he proved himself to be an adept Dr. Coffey said that nis epeecn would be a short one, necessarily, as the sub ject allotted to him, "His Virtues." would soon be exhausted, but he wound up by saying that in the establishment of the tuberculosis, sanitarium at Mil waukie Dr. Hutchinson had done as much good for the people of the coun try as even the famous Mayos. of Roch ester, Minn. Dr. illlamson began by saying: Being a physician so many years, 1 had almost forgotten what vice is." He defined "vice" according to Noah Web ster and picked out the "crimes, sins. Iniquities and faults' of the guest of honor. Dr. Mackenzie, on "his ancestry," traced the doctor's forbears to the dark Jungles of Java. Mr. Jackson, In talking of the doc tor's "modesty." said that he found In Webster that modesty was defined as moderation, but he thought the term scarcely applicable to the guest of honor. Mr. Carrol, responding to the last toast on the list, "His Publicity," crit icized the doctor's taste in neckties, although he admitted that there was a distinguished individuality about them. In reply to all these criticisms Dr. Woods Hutchinson replied in part: "I ulmost feared coming to this din ner as something between a funeral oration and a vivisection, but I find after all I am among friends, who, like the schoolboys, 'know all ' about you but still like you.' "I have made it my business to tell the American people what good fellows the men of our profession are. I am proud to be a spokesman for the doc tors 6f America and the medical pro fession of this part of the world. "I want to say, however, that our medical schools are not preparing our coming doctors for all of the new field of usefulness. There should be more In the college along the line of public hygiene and other subjects of common Interest to the physician and the lay man. We should take the public into our confidence, and we can do it nowa days." At a luncheon at the Commercial Club t noon Dr. Hutchinson spoke on "The Manufacture of Man." Making light of the eugenic craze, he said that 90 per cent of the human race were of good heredity and that conditions cK living were vastly improved today over what they were a generation or so ago. - - that we may handle the payments with out delays and confusions."

' Tax collections fell short so much last week that notwithstanding the big start, the total collections for February are $298,571.97 less than the collections during the corresponding month of 1913. , There have been 1327 less pay ments this year than last year during the same period. "If the payment of taxes does not increase this muntn there is going to be the largest delinquent list in the history of the county," said Treasurer Lewis yesterday. "No rebate was al lowed this year and all the taxes are due on or before March 31. These are new features of the law, which we can not change: and the penalty and inter est are heavy if the taxes are not paid. "The great falling off in the pay ments has been in that class of business which we had hoped to handle through the mail. The requests for tax state ments have fallen off about half. I am afraid many are waiting until tne last of the month, the last date before a penalty attaches, and then the iush is going to swamp us. We urge all tax payers to mail us their requests lor statements at the earliest convenience,! FRESH AIR AND HEALTH Mental work calls an unusual supply of blood to the brain; the process of digestion calls the blood to the stomach. Brain work immediately after a hearty meal often causes indigestion because the brain has first ca!l on a supply of blood that should be helping the stom ach. Wherever, in the economy of the body, work is to be done there is a demand for bright, red blood. Thin blood or blood dark with impurities will not do because it is the oxygen carried by the blood that does the worv and the oxygen-bearing blood is bright and red. This life-sustaining oxygen is taken up by the blood from the air which It meets In the lungs. Hence the great need of fresh air every hour of the day and night. But fresh air is useless if the blood cannot take up the oxygen which it gives.
