Official Notice Is Taken of
Condition of Anarchy Pre

HOME CAPITALS NOTIFIED
Britain, France and Spain Chiefly
Concerned; Carranza General De
nies lie Executed Prisoners
and Women Camp Followers.
WASHINGTON, April 16. All the
mBassies and legations in Washington
representing- countries which have con
siderable interest in Mexico have re
ceived from the international commit
tee of Mexico City, it was learned Thurs
day, affidavits testifying to the exist
ence of conditions of anarchy in Mex
ico, and reciting1 specific cases of abuse
of foreign residents.
Most of the affidavits are directed
to the British, French and Spanish
embassies. Examination at some of the
embassies has disclosed the fact that
in many cases the allegations have
been confirmed by advices already re
ceived from Mexico City. Consequently
the diplomats have deemed the affi
davits worthy of immediate transmittal
to their home governments.
Full Corroboration Obtained.
In at least- one case, also, copies of
the papers, where allegations have been
confirmed by the embassy's advices,
have been laid before the State Depart
ment as a matter of information.
Secretary Bryan said some time ago
that ho had been informed by some
agencies in Mexico City that these
documents were in transit to Washing
ton and that they exaggerated the
actual conditions in many cases.
Therefore, the embassies have been
careful to make sure that such of the
communications as were submitted to
the State Department were fully cor
roborated by reports from their own
diplomatic agencies and consuls in
Mexico.
Kxecntion of Prinonera Denied.
Serme of the affidavits relating to
the mistreatment of foreign women and
tho .robbing and beating of foreigners
were made public recently at El Paso,
Tex., on the arrival at that place of
the agent of the international com
mittee. The Carranza agency here gave out
n statement tonight saying General
Herrera 'had telegraphed from Nuevo
Laredo a denial of reports that he had
executed prisoners and women camp
followers after the recent battle at
Huisaehito. The only man executed,
the statement said. was Narciso
Romero, who was condemned for hav
ing set fire to the town of Candela.
Herrera Review 4 (MM) Men.
General Herrera conducted a review
Of his troops today, the statement said,
4000 men passing before the commander
and his staff. - He is preparing to send
looo troops to aid General Naferrete
at Matamoros, it Was added.
Herrera's scouts reported that 600
horses abandoned by the Villa force
after the fi5:ht had been rounded up.

Only One Slight iialn In Carpathian
C'ampnlfcn I Reported by Petro
srad War Office.
LONDON'. April 16. Failure of the
Russian attempt to invade Hungary was
announced Thursday by the German War
Office. Tho statement Is made that the
effort of the Russian army from JPrze
mysl to force the Lupkow and East
JDukla passes was not- snccessful, and
that its attacks at several points along
this front resulted in defeat with heavy
losses. In consequence, it is said, the
attacking power of the Russians has
lessened visibly.
Although official reports from 1'etro
ffrad concede no surli reverses, they
indicate the Russian advance has been
brought virtually to a halt. The Kns
ttian War Office says "Blight progresff'
was made near Uzsok Pass and a
counter attack at Koziowa by the Aus-tro-Gernian
forces failed. -
The German report, speaking of the
Koziowa fight, asserts the Russians
were repulsed with large losses.
The following Austrian official com
munication was issued today:
"In West Galicia near Ciezkowice, on
the Biala. a Russian attack made early
on the morning of the 14th failed.
"On the heights on both sides of
Wysockie, on the Stry, strong Russian
forces attacked our positions, but were
repulsed after severe fighting. In a
counter-attack we captured an im
portant height, taking three officers
and 661 men prisoners.
"In tho remainder of the Car
pathians, except In some sectors,
there were only artillery engagements."
The official communication issued by
the Russian War Office tonight says:
"At Ossowetz Wednesday the enemy
ineffectually attempted an advance on
the Russian position
"In the direction of Miawa, we were
successful in outpost fighting.
"On the left bank of the Bzura, Rus
sian. outposts occupied Koundtzen in
the Sochaczew region.
"In the Carpathians the Russians ad
vanced slightly in the region north of
Uzsok Pws, where 200 prisoners were
taken. . Vhe enemy's attacks on the
heights of Semuth and Volosate. near
Tamorow and to the South of
Koziouwka were successfully repelled."
I50MEKO SAYS "ALL HUMBUG'
Carranza Minister to Japan Says
Huerta Is Responsible.
SEATTLE, Wash., Aprrl 16. "That's
all humbug,'"' said Colonel M. Perez
Romero, recently appointed - Carranza
minister to Japan, and brother of Mrs.
Francisco- iladero, widow of the late
President of Mexico, last night, when
shown a copy of General Huerta's state
ment disclaiming responsibility for the
death of Mr. Madero. '
"Laying aside the fact that he got
into power by treason, and disregarding
the question of who actually shot Presi
dent Madero, the fact remains, said
Colonel Romero, "that General Huerta
was in power and could command the
armed foroes of the country. President
Madero was his prisoner, and while in
his power was assassinated. How
Huerta can attempt to evade responsi
bility for his death is inconceivable.
"I was an eyewitness to all the hap
penings of those tragic days except for
seven hours from 10 o'clock at night
until 5 o'clock - in the morning, when
Mr. Madero was killed At -5 o'clock 1
traced the automobile to the peniten
tiary and there saw pools of blood be
hind the prison and was told by per
sons coming away that there the Presi
dent had been shot by the soldiers.
"These facts have all been gone over
time and again. It is useless for Gen
eral Huerta to disclaim responsibility.
He swore to support the Madero gov
ernment. He committed treason to
overthrow that government. These are
facts. His statement is scarcely worth
discussion."
. Colonel 'Romero left Vera Cruz a
month ago, visiting the Carranza lega
tions in Cuba and Canada before coming
to Seattle, where he arrived today. He
will sail tomorrow on the Japanese
liner Shidzuoka Maru for Japan, to take
up his diplomatic duties. He expects to
remain' there indefinitely.
Colonel Romero said the constitution
alists were not worrying about General
Huerta's presence in the United States.
"We do not look for any further
trouble from him," he said. "He is wise
enough to keep out of Mexico."

A sardonic, sneering, cynical, cruel,
laughing devil!
His name is Mephistofele, and he is
the star of "Faust."
The part was played and sung by
Olinto Lombardi. bass, last night, on
the stage of the Baker Theater, during
a rendition of the opera, and so mag
nificent was the portrayal it was one
of the best witnessed in this city in
recent years. Indeed, it would be dif
ficult to name one basso in America
who sings and plays Mephistofele
with more compelling finish and artis
tic effect than Lombardi. Such a well
balanced part grips hold of the imagi
nation and refuses to be shut out. Al!
the other artists also did splendid
work, and altogether the presentation
of "Faust" is the best so far given in
this city by the Italian Grand Opera
Company.
Ingar's' Worlc Ipressive.
Ingar, tenor, made an impressive
Faust, and his well-placed, sweet, ring
ing voice was heard to splendid ad
vantage. It did not matter if the call
came from stirring dramatic effect,
where one might try conclusions to
drown out the playing of the orchestra,
but Ingar refused to strain his voice
or "force" it. It had always the same
agreeable quality, the same even flow
of "bel canto." Even in the first
duet with Mephistofele. Ingar was not
hurrieS or seized with a desire to
"drown out" the basso. Ingar re
mained, within his place on the stage
and was the artist. His singing ot
"Salva Dimora" was thrilling.
Lombardi was almost terrifying in
his -sneering cynicism in the scene
where the villagers disarm his magic
on them. He bent his supple sword
double, and literally seemed to grind
it with his teeth. Lombardi was an
ardent, experienced sweetheart of
Martha and hereby by his byplay was
most amusing. .His immense voice wt.s
like the sound of a big stop in a pite
organ. His makeup cock'scomb and
all is worth seeing; Hisdrinking song,
"Iio Dell," was superb.
Soldier' Character Well Token.
Bennyan, as "Valentine," brother of
"Margnerita" made a fine-looking sol
dier, and was convincing and natural.
His opening solo was sung with spirit
und his swan song, after the duel with
faust, was compelling in its repressed
dignity.
Madame Schinetti. lyric soprano,
who has sung at La Scala, Milan, made
a satisfactory and sweet, trusting
Marguerita.
She looked the shy, simple, pastoral
German maiden, dressed in blue and
white and with her fair hair like a
crown. Schinetti sang the famous
"Jewel Song" with fine effect, and her
voice is sweet, clear and well placed.
Ideally, she is a good-looking Margue
rita and has the slight, well-proportioned
physique necessary to play the
part.
Madame Cecchettl Spirited.
It is curious that opera companies
Invariably play the part of Siebel, the
rustic sweetheart or Marguerita, with
a contralto wearing male attire and
rarely with a tenor. Madame Cecchetti
made an impressive feiebel, and sang
the part with spirit and good judgment.
The part of Martha was presented
with a good deal of quiet humor by
Miss Mackie. She gave valuable sup
port ot Lomoarai, in the garden seen
Rovere made a satisfactory Wagner.
The opera was well staged, and the
scenery admirable. The garden scene
was impressive, and the bush, blazing
with electric lights, helped the night
effect. In the last scene good taste
was used. Faust, Marguerita and
Mephistofele sang the impressive trio
together, and at its conclusion, whei
the maiden passes away from the ef
fects of what poets call a broken heart,
Faust kneels, while his santanic ma
jesty is awed by the heavenly vision
where erring Marguerita is forgiven
This is a saner ending than Mephistofele
taking' Faust as his lawful prey and
vanishing with him amid cheap rej
fire. The orchestra played with much suc
cess and afforded the singers every
Inspiration.

NOTES TO KEEP YOU BUSY
About Watts, Amperes, Ohms, Ergs,
Joules and Dynes.'
"Brooklyn, N. Y., Standard-Union.
The rate for electricity in Manhat
tan has just been reduced from 10 to
8 cents per kilowatt hour. If one not
versed in technical terms asks what a
kilowatt hourIs he will be told that it
Is a unit of energy equal to that done by
one kilowat acting for one hour, or. in
other words, it is the equivalent of
1.34 horse-power working an hour. It
is also generally known that a kilo
watt is a thousand watts. But what
may a watt be? This takes its name
from James Wata the Scotch inventor,
and represents work done at the rate
of one joule a second or in an, electric
current by one ampere under the
pressure of one volt. One horse-power
is 746 watts, .
The latter two terms are better
known than the former. The volt is
the unit of electromotive force, or that
force which applied to a conductor
with a resistance of one ohm will pro
duce a current of one ampere. An am
pere, which term preserves the name
of a French electrician, is the prac
tical unit"" of electrical current. An
ohm, from a German scientist of that
name, is the practical unit of electrical
resistance. ,
To revert now to the joule, which
should be pronounced as "ou" in our,
but in this country is usually called
"jooI.",ls derived from the surname of
an English physicist. This is a unit
of energy equal to 10.7 ergs. An erg in
its turn represents the amount of work
performed by a dyne working through
a distance of one centimeter, or two
fifths of an inch. A. dyne is a unit of
force, which, acting on a gram for a
second, gives it a velocity of a centi
meter a second, the equivalent of the j
torce exertea Dy a milligram weignt
under the influence of gravity.

electromotive force of one volt acting
in a circuit, with a resistance of one
ohm is termed a coulomb, from a
French electrician of that name. It
was formerly called a weber from a
German professor, and is also termed a
maxwell from an English physicist;
unlike the examinations in the school
system here called Maxwells from the
superintendent of education, a former
resident of Brooklyn, now living in
Flushing.

DARK TOWN PLAN FOILED
Engineer at Power Plant Refuses to
Pull Switches at Command.
HACK ENS ACK, Is. J.. April '12.
Three masked men knocked on the
door of the electric light plant at Park
Ridge early one morning and when
it was opened by Engineer Kdward
Griesch they shoved their way in and
backed him up against the wall at the
point of a pistol. ,
"Say, young fellow, turn off all the
lights in town a while," one of them
said. We've got a little work to do."
Griesch, who is 23 years old, gasped
a bit and blurted out:
"You go to hell!".
"That so? Well, "we'll give you ten
minutes to make up your mind."
"Then," said Griesch afterward, "they
went through my clothes and got $9.60,
while one of the men disconnected the
telephone wires. Next they rummaged
through the closet and found J360. my
savings, which I had in my coat. When
the ten minutes was up they seemed
undecided what next to do. but I had
made up my mind that I'd let them
feed me to the dynamo before I'd pull
those switches.
They waited 15 minutes and then
knocked me down and tied me up with
strips of tarpaulin. A gag was stuck
in my mouth and they left me alone
while they went over and looked at the
switches. They cursed me because I
wouldn t tell them which ones to pull
but they seemed afraid to touch them."
After fussintr around half an hour
the three men went out. Griesch Anally

floor until 6:30 o'clock. Superintendent
M. Vernon Smith looked out of his win
dow about th-in and saw that the lights
were still b lrni.ig. He tried to get the
plant by telephone, but could not, and
while he was trvinjr Frank English
went in und found Griesch trussed.
The engineer could not give a-de
scription of the men because of the
handkerchiefs thiy wore over the
lower parts of their faces. They seemed
to be strangers In town, because they
asked him for directions how to reach
the two hotels and the tax collector's

tration as Physician.
ST. LOUIS. April 11. Mrs. Sarah K.
Clark, a widow, was arrested at her
home by United States Deputy Internal
Revenue Collector Al Guion and United

arrest that she "intended taking out a
physician's license soon."
She said that she learned indirectly
of the Federal law making it a peni
tentiary offense to dispense morphine,
cocaine and other narcotic drugs with
out a physician's license, and that she
obtained the Federal license so that she
might keep a store of the drugs In her
home to use in connection with her
work as a "physician."
She is not a graduate in medicine,
nor did she ever attend a medical
school, she said.
She said that she has three children,
all married. She is the leader of a
Bible class and is prominent in other
activities of a St. Louis church that, has
a wealthy congregation, she eaid.
Deputy Collector Ouin discovered
that Mrs. Clark was purchasing for
bidden drugs at the store of A. A. Flan
ders, and that since March 1 she had
made regular purchases at the place.
She obtained about 85 grains in all,
the warrant alleges.
Guin obtained from the druggist a
memorandum of the drug purchases of
Mrs. Clark.' -

whom Mrs. Clark was arraigned, fixed
