It Is hard at first to bolter the
change had really come. When I de
parted from the capital on April 33,
howling mobs were traversing the
streets, yelling for Yankee blood. I
had slipped through tho streets un
der the tarpaulin of a coach to the
depot. The cable office had been
closed to American newspaper men,
and they had been given to under
stand that they must get out or go to
Jail.
The only one of our number who
was foolhardy enough to stay had
been arrested and had "disappeared,"
and has never been found In any jail
or graveyard. It was an ugly Mexico
we left on April 23.
Hut no sooner was Huerta out than
the American newspaper men were In.
It wain's a comfortable Job coming
back either, bocause we could not
through the streets of the capital one i realize how great and sudden the
nsoralsg la aa automobile; he had
alighted at a railroad station, climbed
late a waiting PaUmaa, said to tho
porter, "Hello, my boy; glad to see
yea! If youSre get aaythlag to drink
In this car bring ate a double cogaac"
The eaglne bell had rung .the con
ductor bad shouted "all aboard," the
train had started aad the core of
Mexico's carbuncle had been expelled.
That railroad eagiae. No, 27, was
the strongly drawing poultice; Huer
ta. sipping his goodbye cognac, was
the core; the Mexicaa capital aad all
the land of Mexieo was the happy pa-
There were hundreds of thousaads
of men la Mexieo who slept soundly
that night for the first time la many
oaths. The rich man slept peace
fully In his sanation because he knew
that at laaVafc wealth was safe; the
peon slpt'rsoBHdly In his dobe hut
because he knew that Huerta, the1
manrbo in the dead of night drag
ged, peons from their beds aad fam
Uieh and put them Into his starring
army, bad gone.
The wonder of it aU, to rich aad
poor, was than anything so small as
a Pullman car coach could carrr
from the nation such a gigantic hor
ror as this man Huerta had been. But
the Pullman car did it.
la the Arabian Nights a fisherman
found oa the seashore a small casket
which contained a terrible genii
which, whan released, was so huge In
sine It filed the sky. So the Pull
man car, with a little Iron-gray
haired man sleeping in his clothes,
oa a red plush settee. Inside, contain
ed a terror that had been suspended
over the nation like a vast cloud end
that had hung over the lives and
homes of Mexico's men, women and
change had been.
It was after dark when we drew
Into the railroad station. There were
five of us, the first American corre
spondents to return. One of us had
tried to enter the capital once before.
and had been arrested at the station,
jailed and deported.
We arranged to leave the train
singly, for we expected that secret
service men might be waiting for us
on the station platform. And so, one
by one, we made our way through the
depot crowd. But the expected taps
on the shoulder didn't come. Only
a horde of jelling hotel commission
ers laid their hands on us. A Mexican
and an Kngllsh newspaper man greet
ed us.
"It's all right," said the Mexican,
who used to do his writing In Texas.
"Welcome to our city. The old man
has boat It. The fly cope have faded
away. There are 3.000 Zapatistas on
the outskirts of the city hammering
to get In, and Huerta has left only
300 soldiers In the city. You fellows
are gotng to see the city looted like
a chicken coop. You're here just In
time for the big blow-off."
Even the streets seemed different
as our coach rolled along through the
rain. The presence of horror was no
more. A train had carried It away,
Peace seemed to brood over the
domes and parks and streets aad
homes of the great Mexican city.
What If the Zapatistas were fighting
to enter the city? What If the wound
ed and dying federals of that brae
little band of 300 were being brought
Into the city In coaches aad street
cars? What if the great auto truck,
loaded with Mexican Red Cross nurses
dashed past us toward the suburban
battlefield What, evea. If the Zapa
tistas DID come into the city? They
were a danger that a maa could see
and meet, face to face, and fight,
hand to band. They were not aa un
seeable, untouchable, unflghtable
Terror, such as the Pullman car had
drawn away. That was how we felt,
and that was how the people of Mex
ico felt that night after Huerta had
gone.
But the next day Mexico had begun
to find itself again.
The morning newspapers began to
tell of the terrible things Huerta had
done; of the awful crimes; of mur
der and assassinations; of million
of money which the fleeing lluertlslas
had taken with them; of how Huerta
had looted the public ioo at the lat
moment and given n bsuquet of deer,
bear and game bird meat; ho Ms
henchmen had matched pennies
amonK Uivmwlvea for ovmment
automobiles which thy carried away
with them; how one cabinet minister
named Usano had almost brained hi
chauffeur with a bottle as a drunken
farewell; how Urrutla, now finding
shelter In the United States, bad mur
dered and tortured some of Mexico's
wisest men; how Mohcno also had
sold precious concessions for a song
nreaved families began to search
openly In graveyards and prisons for
knowledge of relatives. Flowers
were toted by the ton to Madera's
grave. The truth came out. Rach
man In the capital was his own man's
man. Mexico knew she was facing a
new day, and a new chance to climb
to her place among other nations.
It's here In the capital that one
see most clearly the patience, kind
ness, bigness aad dignity with which
the United States, sponsor and pro
tector of the republican form of gov
ernment on this globe, big brother of
all nations that have presidents In
stead of king, has treated and helped
the republic of Mexico as It stumbled
and staggered through the dark days
of Huerta's tyraaay.
Looking at It from here. It makes
you proud to be an American.

Wisconsin's Boxing Law
Is Called a Success
United Press Service
MILWAUKEE. Wis., Aug. 25.
"Boxing under the control of the
state athletic commission has reached
it highest standard," said W. H. Lig
lnger, chairman of the commission. In
presenting his annual report today.
"It has also demonstrated that the
commission is more than self-sustain
ing. The state derives almost IH,-
000 from this department for the
year."
Tho commission exacts 5 per cent
of the gross receipts of each boxing
match held under 1U direction. Ex
penses of the body, Including the sec
retary's salary, are not allowed to
amount to over $3,000 per annum.
The state, therefore, is enriched by
about $11,000 through Its control of
this branch of athletics.
Last year boxing clubs held 132
matches In Wisconsin, averaging four
bouts to the show. Ten boxers were
suspended or barred from the state
during the twelve months. Among
these was Pack McFarland, who was
adjudged guilty of stalling.
Out of twelve candidates for nam
Inees for Justices of the supreme court
of Kansas, Mrs. I.lxsle 8. Sheldon of
Lawrence was one of the six success
ful candidates.
