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 manager of the Illinois
Theater for nearly 10 years, and built
the Garden Theater, now called the
American Music Hall. -He was also a
manager in the Klaw & Erlanger cir
cuits. Mr.- Noonan was a member of the
Illinois Athletic Club, and an honorary
member of the. executive staff in the
Chicago fire department. 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. 'Noonan, of Condon & Noonan.

Syndicate of America, according to a
statement jast night by Edward Con

During his brother's sickness the
building of the new theater was done

to information which officials here re

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.

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.

LOCAL THEATER MAN DIES
Tltomas Noonan, Lessee of

Thomas Noonan, lessee of the new
Broadway Theater, now under con

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.

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

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

on the surface of the sun. One -sunspot
may be responsible for several earth
quakes, depending on bow long it main

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.

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.

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."
The total collections are $773,165 S",
made in 11,069 payments, as compared
to $1,071,638.80 last February, maJc in
12,40$ payments, according to a state
ment made by Chief Deputy Huckaby.

Tax Collections Lag. '
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. Dr. Williams'
Pink Pills enable the blood to take ui
more oxygen because they increase the
part of the blood that carries the
oxygen. This corrects the lassitude,
palpitation, of the heart, shaky nerves
and the palloi that are the results of
thin, impure blood.
You must have pure, rich blood to
enjoy complete health. A booklet
"Building Up the Blood"' will be sent
free on request by the Dr. Williams
Medicine Co., .Schenectady, N. Y. All
druggists sell Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis.
