' WASHINGTON. March 12. Encour-
azina advices telling of the relief of
the food famine in Mexico City through
the evacuation of the capital by the
forces of General Obrcgon, the Carranza
commander, were beclouded today by
the news that on the entry of the
Zapata troops. John B. McManus, an
American citizen, was murdered shot
down in his home, the door of which
had been sealed with the coat of arms
of the United Ftates, and over which
flew the Stars and Stripes.
Instant demand was made by the
Brazilian Minister on behalf of the
United States Government for the pun
ishment of those guilty of the crime.
Reparation la Demanded.
After a conference between Presi
dent Wilson and his Cabinet. Secretary
Bryan telegraphed the Brazilian Min
ister approving of the action he had
taken and adding a demand for rep
aration to the family of the victim. The
Minister was instructed to insist on
the early punishment of the offenders
and to impress on the post commander
at Mexico City General Falazar the
seriousness with which the American
Government viewed the occurrence.
The General who is not related to
tint Independent chief who has been
conducting a revolutionary movement
in Northern Mexico since escape from
American custody last year promised
that the demands of the United States
would be met promptly.
Revenge Motive of Murder.
The occupation of the city by the
Zapatistas, which was greeted with
enthusiasm by the people, was marred
by a fevr cases of looting. Officials
aid no 'other disorders occurred, and
the city was quiet when the last dis
patch, dated 4 P. M. yesterday, was
filed.
The Brazilian Minister reported at
length in several dispatches on the mur
der. The motive for the crime, he ex
plained, was undoubtedly one of re
venge for the alleged killing of two
Zapata soldiers by McManus when
their forces last left Mexico City.
The Minister said that when the
Zapatistas withdrew several weeks ago
after the departure of General Gutier
rez, some of them attempted to loot the
home of JlcManus. The latter stood on
his doorstep and, though it was never
made certain who fired the first shot,
when the attackers fled because of the
arrival of Carranza forces, two were
left behind dead.
Home I'ndcr American Flag.
Apprehensive of what might be his
fate on the return of the Zapata forces,
McManus induced the Brazilian Min
ister to seal his door with the coat of
arms of the United States and hoisted
an American flag over his home. Ap
parently, the Minister reported, Mc
Manus was killed by a simultaneous
volley of shots, which were fired at
a short distance, and bis hat was filled
with bullet holes. Previously the
American had taken precautions to
send his wife and family to the home
of friends, and no one, so far as known,
witnessed the shooting.
The killing of McManus, coming after
the serious developments of the situa
tion in Mexico City of the last week,
increased apprehension here in official
quarters for the safety of foreigners.
Looting In Suburbs Reported.
At the time of Obregon's occupation
of the city a Swedish subject and four
Spaniards were killed. Before leaving
Mexico City Obregon gave the Brazilian
Minister a certificate confirming the
fact that the Swede' was killed by his
soldiers. The certificate was given to
afford the man's family a basis for a
claim. The Carranza commander is
understood to have expressed his regret
over the occurrence and paid 1000 pesos
toward the funeral expenses of the
victim.
Several of the embassies and lega
tions received word of the occupation
of the city by the Zapatistas. Three
cases of looting in the suburbs of the
capital were reported as having oc
curred, with a German, a British and
a French subject as victims. Unoffi
cial reports that 2000 Mexicans had
tried to release the priests imprisoned
by Ohregon and that a riot had result
ed were unconfirmed.
Ohrrcon Leave Im Good Order.
General Obregon's troops, according
to the official dispatches, left in good
order and the Brazilian Minister re
marked that evidently the Carranza
commander was impressed by the tone
of tho American note. In view of this
report, the American Government, it
was said, probably would make no
representations to the Carranza gov
ernment. Secretary Bryan is preparing to in

Washington street in Portland has as
much traffic as any of the busiest
streets in the largest Eastern cities. At
certain times the Hawthorno-avenue

a traffic report which has been prepared
by Municipal Traffic Engineer ivirK
Datrick.
, The report shows that In ten hours of
an average day 117,044 pedestrians pass
ih. inKrwriinn of Fifth and Wash

not Including streetcars, pass the inter,
sretion.
In Boston 112,000 pedestrians pass by
the busiest corner in a ten-hour day
5044 less than In Portland. In an hour
6r2 vehicles pass by the Boston busy
corner. Portland shows nearly double
that number.
In Titthburg 96,000 pedestrians are
recorded in ten hours. This Is 21,000
less than go by the Portland corner in
the same time.
The report has been prepared to show
that there is actually something to the
oft-made statement that Portland
streets arc badly congested and that
thorn is occasion for better traffic
regulation.

SARAH WILL ACT AGAIN
Roles Already Chosen for Early Tour
of United States.
BORDEAUX, March 12. (Special.)
Sarah Bernhardt, recovering here from
the amputation of her right leg. expects
to tour America next Fall. Despite her
70-odd years and the fact that she must
wear an artificial leg, the great French
tragedienne is making active prepara
tions to return to the United States.
Her future is all planned, she told
her friends today. Bertrand in Ros
tand's "The Faraway Princess" ' is the
first role she will enact when she leaves
the hospital, and after that "Phedre."
These two plays she will put on merely
for the sake of old associations and to
prove that an artificial limb will not
impair her acting.
Then, with the public convinced, she
will turn to new roles.

OBSERVER TELLS STORY
British u nd French A'escls Sent In
to Draw- Fire of Forts Succeed
In Purpose and Escape
Without Damage.
BY GEORGK RENWTCK.
(Correspondent of the London chronicle.
By cable to the Chicaeo Trlhun. Published
by arrangement with the Tribune.)
ATHENS, March 7. The first real
eyewitness story describing the bom
bardment of the Dardanelles ports by
the allied fleet was brought here by a
man from Tenedos Island, 'who from
Mount Ilios saw the battleships pour
their fire into the strongholds.
"The sight was a most magnificent
one," he said. "At first tne neet rangea
in a semi-circle some miles out to sea
from the entrance to the straits. It
afforded an inspiring spectacle as It
came along and took up Its position
and the picture became most awe-inspiring
when the guns began to boom.
Bombardment Slow at First.
"The bombardment at first was slow.
the shells from the various ships
screaming through the air at the rate
of about one every two minutes. The
gunners' markmanship was excellent.
and with strong glasses I could see
huge masses of earth and stone work
thrown high up Into the air. The din
even at that distance was terrific, and
when the largest ship with the biggest
guns in the world joined the martial
chorus the air was filled with the car-
splitting noise.
'The Turkish batteries, however,
were not to be drawn, and, realizing
this, the British Admiral sent one Brit
ish ship and ono French ship close In
shore towards the Slddul Bahr forts.
Enemy Drawn, Gunnery Poor.
"It was a pretty sight to see the
two battleships swing rapiuiy away
toward the northern cape, spitting fire
and smoke as they rode along, iney
obscured the pure atmosphere with
clouds of smoke from their funnels and
guns.
"Through it all I could see they
were getting home with their shots.
They fired as they went in. They
sped right under the guns of the shore
batteries, which could no longer resist
the temptation to see what they could
do. Puffs of white smoke dotted the
landscape on the far shore and dull
booms echoed over the placid waters.

NEWPORT NEWS. Va., March 12.
"I can say positively that the Prlna
Eitel Friedrich never will leave this
port until the end of the European
war."
This declaration was made tonight
by Captain II. II. Kiehne, master of the
American sailing ship William P.
Frve. which the German raider de
stroyed in the South Atlantic Ocean
January 28 last. Captain Kiehne had
just bade farewell to Commander
Thierichens. of the German cruiser. He
had paid off his crew and was leav
ing for Washington to reveal the de
tails of his ship's destruction directly
to heads of the Government.
Basis of Assertion la Secret.
"Why do you make such a positive
statement?" the American skipper was
asked.
"That I will not say," he replied, "but
I know sie has come here to stay until
the war is over."
Notwithstanding this the commander
of the Eitel Friedrich tonight reiter
ated that It was his purpose to leave
American waters as soon as possible,
According to reports here tonight the
German officers, in explaining the sink
ing of the Frye, will contend that they
found in the American vessel's papers
ar record that the ship, with its cargo
of wheat, was bound for Queenetown,
Falmouth or Plymouth for orders, and
that since Plymouth is a fortified port
the wheat was contraband.
Crew to Ask Pay of Germany.
Two of the Frye's crew refused to
accept payment today because of a de
cision, based on statutory law, that they
were entitled to wages only until Jan
uary 2S, the day the Frye was sunk.
All other members of the crew accepted
payment under protest and urged that
the German government should pay
them for 43 days spent en board the
raider.
Despite their dissatisfaction over
their pay, the crew of the Frye tonight
sent "with compliments' to tne Ger
man cruiser eight kegs of beer for the
crew and cigars for the officers mess.
Late today a naval board of three.

LONDON, March 13. The Admiralty
announces the loss of the auxiliary
cruiser Bayano while the vessel was
engaged in patrol duty. In its state
ment of the disaster, the Admiralty
says:
"On March 11 wreckage of the
Bayano and bodies were discovered, and
circumstances point to her having been
sunk by an enemy torpedo.
"Eight officers and IS men were
rescued, but it is feared the remainder
of the crew were lost.
"The captain of tho Belfast steamer
Castlereagh reports passing Thursday
morning a quantity of wreckage and
dead bodies floating in life belts. He
attempted to search for possible sur
vivors, but was prevented by the pres
ence of an enemy submarine, which
gave chase for 20 minutes."
The Bayano was a comparatively new
steamer. Sho was built at Glasgow in
l'J13 and was owned by Elder & Fyfteu
before she was taken over by the Brit
ish government and fitted out aa an
auxiliary cruiser.
The Bayano was of S.'jOO tons dis
placement and 416 feet long.
Tho Belfast correspondent of the
Dally Telegraph says the Bayano was
torpedoed Thursday morning at 3
o'clock off Corsewall Toint, Wigtown
shire, Scotland, and that nearly 200
lives were lost, as the cruiser sank
almost immediately. The vessel had a
crew of about 216 men on board.
Wigtownshire is the southwestern
most county In Scotland. It lies on
the North Channel, which leads into

French Call on 1916 Recruits.
PARIS. March 12. The Chamber of
Deputies passed a bill today calling

however, until after the men of the
older classes are utilized.
Friday's War Moves
JUST as tho French attackeed the
Germans In the western campaign
when Field Marshal von Hlndeuburg
made his big rush from East Prussia
last month, so the British army oper
ating in Flanders has undertaken the
task of relieving tho pressure on its
Russian ally now that the Russians
again are being attacked in North Po
land. This is part of tho general plan of
the allied Generals. When one Is at
tackeed the other attacks, so as to
compel the Germans and Austrlans to
keep strong forces at every point and
endeavor to prevent them from sending
new troops where they could do most
good.
.At preseent tho Germans are occu
pied in an attempt to crush the Rus
sians. For this purpose they are re
ported to have an army estimated a
nearly a half million men marching
along the roads to Przasnysz. To pre
vent this army from being further
strengthened tho British aro thrusting
at the German line north of La Bassee,
and besides reporting the capture of
tho village of Ncuve Chapelle, It Is as
serted that they have advanced beyond
that town.
The battle taking place on tho east
ern front, experts say. Is the biggest
pitched battle of the war. no fewer
than 1,000,000 men being engaged in it
The Germans, in their official report,
say they have muiic some advance,
while Petrograd considers It likely
that the Russians will have to fall
back beyond Frzasnysz. as they did
last month, before making their stand.
It probably will be days before a defi
nite result is attained In this battle,
as with the frozen roads the Russians
can push forward reinforcements and
choose their battleground.
Meanwhile another German army has
appeared, on the Pilica River front
south of the Vistula, probably, military
observers say, with the idea of induc
ing Grand Duke Nicholas to withdraw
men from the north, where the real
blow Is being struck.
Farther south, along the foothills of
the Carpathians, fighting between the
Austrlans and Russians continues amid
Wintry conditions. Each side declares
that the other is doing the attacking,
but It is believed that, as the Austrlans
initiated the battle, they probably are
still the aggressors.
Interesting developments are prom
ised in the political field. Prince von
Buelow, the German Ambassador to
Italy, accordiing to dispatches received
from Rome and Berlin, at last has of
ficially raised the question of terri
torial concessions to Italy as the price
of Italy's friendship. Germany, It is
declared, is doing the negotiating on
behalf of her ally. Austria, whose ter
ritory is Involved.
It is said that Germany is trying to
Induce Austria to cede to Italy both
Trent and Trieste. Baron Stephan von
Burian, the Austrian Foreign Minister,
according to report, does not oppose
the cession of Trent, but strongly ob
jects to parting with Trieste, while the
aged Austrian Emperor refuses to con
sent to the loss of any part of his do
minions. It is reported that Germany desires
to have the matter settled now, in fear
that, should the Dardanelles be forced.
Italy would be more than ever inclined
to throw In her lot with the allies, so as
to insure the safety of her Interests In
the Eastern Mediterranean, depending
on her army to recover her lost prov
inces nearer home.
German emissaries, according to dis
patches to the British newspapers,
also are busy in Bucharest and Sofia
endeavoring to point out to RoumRnla
and Bulgaria why these countries
should, remain neutral.
