FALL COMES AFTER
22 YEARS OF RULE
Guatemala Chief Likened to
Portirio Diaz.
ASSASSINS ARE DEFEATED
Attempts to End Life of Manuel
Estrada Cabrera Fail Because
of His Bra -very.
GUATEMALA CITY, April 24. (By
the Associated Press.) Manuel Es
trada Cabrera, deposed president of
Guatemala, wtio Is reported to have
fled to Cuba following a revolution
which began last February, had the
distinction of governing the Central
American republic for 22 years.
Growth of the unionist party In
Guatemala, the members of which
favored an amalgamation of all the
Central American republics under
one government, was opposed by
Cabrera on the ground that It was
"reactionary." Upon his reinaugura
tion as president, in 1917, he issued
a decree severing relations between
Guatemala and Germany. During the
three succeeding years Cabrera's ad
ministration had been marked by In
ternal dissensions and difficulties
with Honduras and other countries
close to the Guatemala border. Nu
merous uprisings occurred during his
regime, and many attempts were
made on his life. In 1907 he caused
the arrest of 160 men on a charge
of conspiring to assassinate him.
Nineteen of these, who were tried and
sentenced to death, were executed.
Bomb Thrown L'nder Carriage.
Many other attempts had been made
to kill him. On one occasion a bomb
was thrown under his carriage.
Cadets from the Guatemala military
academy, who acted as his escort, at
tempted to shoot him on April 21,
1908, when he entered the national
palace to receive the American min
ister, William Heimke. He suffered
a bayonet wound in the hand and
escaped ccath only by his bravery.
Caralos Herra, a financier, was
chosen provisional president on April
12, upon the ousting of Cabrera, who
abandoned Guatemala City the next
day and announced that he and a
number of troops who had remained
loyal would cut off the capital's water
vupply and food shipments until "the
rebels begged for terms."
Cabrera concentrated his quarters
at La Palma, Matamoras and San Jose
and, dominating Guatemala City, be
ftan to shell the capital, killing, it was
reported, many civilians. Meanwhile
the revolt against Cabrera spread
over the entire country. Cabrera's
Itovernment was in many respects
like that of Porfirio Diaz, who ruled
Mexico for years with an iron hand,
lie was born in Quezaltenango on
November 21, 1857, and received his
preparatory education in the schools
cf that district, the second most im
portant in Guatemala. Later he at
tended a law school in Guatemala
City, from which he was graduated
In 1SS3.
Coantry Greatly Developed.
General Justo Rufino Barrios, then
"dictator," named him as chief justice
of the department of Retalhulen,
where he remained until 1886, when
lie wai appointed to the post of chief
Justice of thd department of Quezal
tenango, his native district. In 1888
lie was made a Justice of the court
of appeals and later ho became a
member of the national assembly.
Cabrera soon became a leader of
the assembly. When he had achieved
this place. Barrios was assassinated
In the streets of Guatemala City in
February, 1898, in election was called
and Cabrera was chosen as Barrios"
successor. He assumed the presi
dency the following October. '
It was then that the real develop
ment of Guatemala began. Cabrera
liuilt one of the most magnificent
capitals in Central America. He was the
first ruler on the American continent,
it is said, to adopt aviation for his
army. He organized the West Point
of Guatemala. He erected a score of
modern hospitals and imany schools.
He opened tip the country to railroad
builders and restored the national
treasury. He promulgated a decree
of unconditional amnesty when he
became president, thus bringiifg- to
gether all factions, and yet he proved
strong enough to hold them in check
when his enemies plotted to over
throw him, until the issue of Central
American unionism arose.

ALLE(iED PROFITEERS.
Answer to Jury's Action Asserts
Interference Willi Law of
Supply and Demand.
NEW YORK, April 24. Indictments
charging profiteering in meats were
returned Friday by a federal grand
jury in Brooklyn against the Chicago
packing houses of Armour & Co.,
Swift Ac Co., and Wilson &. Co., and
their representatives here.
CHICAGO, April 24. Concerning
the indictments returned Friday by
the federal grand jury in Brooklyn
against representatives of Chicago
packers, Armour & Co. made the fol
lowing statement:
" "Bucking the law of supply and de
mand with indictments is like baying
at' the moon, so far as it affects price
fluctuations in marketing meat.
Fresh meat is a perl.shable product
and as tuth is most responsive to sup
ply and demand.
"Recent developments, such as the
livestock handlers' strike and the out
law railroad strike, created a situa
tion in eastern markets which made
mt'at worth more than it was worth
the week before; in fact, it made a
profit possible, after many weeks of
losses. If it is -consistent, that grand
jury probably will return indictments
against the qonsuming public when
the situation changes, as it' usually
docs, and meat has to be sold at a
loss.
"The price of meat is nearer the
pre-war level than . is the price of
other essential commodities. There is
a w idespread propaganda designed to
make people think rtiat meat is too
high and this propaganda threatens
ruin to the producers of livestock and
a probable meat shortage in the fu
ture." Kelso Fishermen Prepare.
