Letter Tells How Brazilian lega
tion Attempted to Save Man
After Attack on Ranch by
Soldiers Had Begun.
CHICAGO. April 24. A letter from
II rs. John B. McManus. dated at Mex
ico City March 13, three days after her
husband was murdered by Zapata sol
diers, reached Mrs. McManus' sister-in-law,
Miss Elizabeth McManus, hero to
day. The envelope was marked "re
ceived through Department ot State In
diplomatic pouch." Tho letter gave the
Btory of the writer's anxiety over her
husband.
"We all begged John either to come
with us or to move the stock closer
to the city," ran the letter, "but he
scoffed at the idea, saying he was ca
pable of protecting himself. I am just
beginning to realize the hell ho had
lived through to do it. Because I was
so worried about his safety he had not
told me ot the numerous times he had
been phot at and searched and how
often he had to face alone the dangers
of the present anarchial conditions in
Mexico. It is hard to imagine a case
of greater bravery and courage or a
more wanton murder than his."
Brazilian Legation Tried to Aid.
Mrs. McManus tried to warn her
husband by telephone of the move
ments of the soldiers, but tho wires
were cut between the city and Mc
Manus' dairy ranch. Next word was
received that the ranch was being ait
tacked. "I called up everyone who could give
assistance, beginning with the Brazil
ian Legation," continued the letter. The
Legation immediately sent out a ma
chine with flags and a. protest, but
they arrived too late."
Mrs. McManus went with others to
the ranchhouse.
"And such a sight," she wrote. "John
had to be lowered from the room, where
he had gone,' the better to protect the
place, and oh, I can't write about It.
I didn't see him I couldnt. He had
been hit in the head at close range
with either a dum-dum or a shot and
the whole top of his head was gone.
Attacked Party lumbers 40.
"TJie house was beyond description.
The windows were peppered with bul
lets. About 400 joined the attacking
party. The floors were a confusion of
broken glass, upset furniture, dresser
drawers, closets, books, pictures, brok
en eggs and dirt. They took what they
wanted and threw the rest on the floor.
"You probably think It strange that
I do not now leave for the states, but
1 am placed like so many other Amer
icans. Here I can support my family
with comparative ease,, but to give my
property away, as I would have to do
If I left now, and then trjf to make
a living in the states would be perfect,
ly impossible."
The letter said that the funeral was
attended by nearly everyone In the
foreign colony.
WOMEN ATTACK POLICE
WIVES OP STRIKING LABORERS AT
STAMFORD RESIST ARREST.
Refuaal to IJIaperae After Meeting Pre
cipitates Row and Leader la
Locked I'p.
STAMFORD, Conn, April 24. Wives
of striking laborers here, to the num
ber of BO or more, armed with broom
sticks, pick handles and salt, fought
hand to hand with the police today
when the latter attempted to disperse
them after a demonstration at the Town
Hall. One arrest was made.
About 800 laborers, Including nearly
all of those employed by the city and
local contractors, are on strike for $2
a. day, an eight-hour day and recogni
tion of their union.
The women marched in A body to
the Town Hall, and when Mayor Brown
appeared called on him to concede the
strikers' demands. The Mayor ex
plained that only the Common Council
could act on the demands and that it
would not meet until Monday. He
asked them to disperse, and when they
refused directed the police to disperse
them. Police Chief Brennan seized the
leader of the women, Mrs. Mary
.Doldosi. This was a signal for the
outbreak and the policemen were
scratched and beaten by the women,
who rushed to their leader's assistance.
Mrs. Doldosi was hurried Into the
Town Hall, where she was charged
with breach of the peace. The women
then dispersed.

' Men and Manufacturers.
CHICAGO, April 24. (Special.) Chi
cago's greatest foot and automobile
pageant. the "prosperity parade,"
which will precede William Hale
Thompson's inauguration on Monday,
grew in dimensions today until offi
cials made desperate efforts to keep
its size within bounds, at the same time
issuing a new schedule of regulations.
The procession of 'v 20,000 marchers.
600 floats and 10.000 motor vehicles will
move at 2 I. M.. Mayor-elect Thomp
son probably will survey the assembly
and then proceed on horseback to the
big reviewing stand, built against the
City Hall, with aides and a cowboy
escort. A civic salute of 35 aerial
bombs, one for each ward of Chicago,
will be the signal for the start.
The "prosperity" significance of the
parade is illustrated by the fact that
at least 1200 commercial concerns will
be represented by marchers, cars and
floats. Thousands of business houses
and factories have given the parade
committee assurance that they will
close their plitces at noon Monday.
State street will be decorated from

E. Purdy, of this city, was stabbed to
death last night with a dirk or similar
sharp instrument. The crime was com
mitted in the house and the victim evi
dently died after having jumped out of
the dining-room window. The weapon
pierced his heart.
The body was discovered earls1 this
morning by three section hands on the
Portland. Eugene & Eastern Railroad,
who were going to work. In passing
the Purdy home, which is near that
railroad, they saw the body in a head
downward position near the house.
They went to the house to give the
alarm, but no one was there.
Ed Scott, a neighbor, went to see
what the men wanted ,and on learning
of the crime notified the police and
waited until the Coroner arrived to
take the body away.
At a Coroner's inquest this afternoon
a verdict that the man met death "at
the hands of a party or parties un
known, was returned.
Conditions of the Purdy home indi
cate that a fight took Dlace there.
Chairs were upset, a stand was knocked
over, blood stains were found, and a
window of the dining-room, directly
above the spot where the bodv was
found, was broken and fragments of
glass were scattered about on the
ground.
It Is believed that In a quarrel the
man was stabbed and In attempting to
get away he may have jumped through
the window, but died before he could
get any further.

to have been found drunk this morning,
was arrested and Is In JaiU

been visiting her daughter in this city,
left Portland yesterday afternoon with
Mr. and Mrs. Jones for Corvallis.

In our climate.
It is that run-down condition of the
system that results from Impure, im

It is marked by loss of appetite
and tnat tired reeling, and in many
cases by some form of eruption.
The best way to treat Spring sick
ness is to take Hood's Sarsaparilla.
This . old reliable family medicine
purifies, enriches and revitalizes the
blood. It is an all-the-year-round
alterative and tonic, and is abso
lutely the best Spring medicine.
Get your blood in good condition at
once now. tielay may be dangerous.
Ask your druggist for Hood's Sarsa
