AMERICANS ON LOOTED TRAIN Hold-up in Mexico —Several Cars Burned. Bn Unite* Press MEXICO CITY, March 21.—A train from Laredo, .carrying six Americans and scores of Mexicans, was held up and partly burned near Obregon, state of Guanajuato, Saturday night, it was learned when the train arrived here early today, eighteen hours late. Emilio Garcia, conductor, was shot to death when he got out of the train to beg the assailants not to shoot because of women and children on board. “The train was moving slowly toward Obregon when we heard a volley of shots,” one American passenger, who would not permit hia name to be used, told the United Press. “We stopped and 200 men shouting, ‘Viva, Cristo Key’ (Long live Christ, the King) surrounded the train. The train’s soldier escort of ten disappeared without firing a shot. “The band went through the train, asking each passenger, ‘who lives?’ and all answered, ‘Cristo Key’. Then the men announced no one would be robbed. Several reported losing money and jewelry, however. "We were ordered out of the train, and t hree coaches were burned: The band then stripped the Pullmans, taking all bedding and towels. Train officials saiij they also took 100,000 Tesos from the express car.” Trainmen said the train ran over two boxes of dynamite place on the track by the band, but for some reason neither exploded. Among Americans on the train were Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Harriman and child of Houston, Tex.

At Last a Great Singer Scores in English Songs —By Wa |tar a Hickman *

At last I am able to tell you that a great prima donna of the Metropolitan Opera proved yesterday at the Murat that a prima donna can sing and make highly successful songs in the English language. When Maria Jeritza, soprano, Sunday afternoon at the Murat sang six songs in English for encores, following a group which included two in English, her magnificent audience realized that a great and efficient personality in song was actually glorifying the English language in song. I for one am getting impatient with great singers on the concert stage doing the major part of their programs in a foreign tongue. So many of them make the English numbers just an incidental part of their programs. i Not so with Maria Jeritza this season She knows that there is great beauty in "Love Has Eyes,” “Spring Dropped a Song Into My Heart as Well as in Trees,” and in i OVER SUPPLY OE EVIDENCE (Continued From Page 1) without regular court proceedings, will be called. Among them will be Johnny Raines, the 14-year-old freckled- , faced, red headed Patrick Henry who stood up for his liberty by going back for more papers and getting himself dragged in a second time: Circuit Court Reporter Charles White may be asked to read his notes on what happened when Dearth had the newsboys brought in and to tell what became of the boys’ papers. Arthur Jones, Muncie police chief, may be asked by what authority he directed his policemen to arrest the newsboys. A witness whose identity is being kept secret, may be called to tell how a month before the newsboys were dragged in for selling the Muncie Post-Democrat, lie was ordered onot to sell that paper at his place of business. This witness may be asked to tell about a conferemce with his attorney relative to how anybody could suppress a newsfpaper. By Delaware County records it will be developed that Jacob Cavanaugh, one of Dearth’s jury commis sioners, did not own real estate at the time he was appointed, November, 1922, and that five weeks later a twenty by twenty-foot piece of ground, valued at $25 and assessed at $5, fronting on an alley in a poor section of Muncie was deeded to Cavanaugh by Dearth. By former County Surveyor John Watson a description of this dab of real estate will be presented. Former Friends to Testify Clell Maple, Muncie manufacturer, former friend of Dearth, who wrote the anonymous article in the paper which preceded seizure of th boys and papers by Dearth, will be called to repeat testimony about conversations with Dearth which he gave to House Judiciary A committee last month. John Kidwell, another former friend of Dearth, will be examined along the same lines. County Clerk Perry Mansfield will be called with court records to show Dearth’s charge to the grand jury which had been convened last year to invstigate Sheriff Harry McAuley’s office. Mansfield also will be

“When Love Is Kind.” She was so gracious with her encores, giving six, if I am not mistaken to one group. Maria Jerktza is prolfebly the most gorgeous and beautiful individual singing today. She is a great beauty and a lovely artist. When a bunch of red roses went over the footlights to her following her first group following Intermission, she held the roses vary closely and did not seem to mind being pricked by them. She made a lovely picture with her roses and her songs in English. And when she returned for her final number, the singer had rearranged her hair and had a red rose pinned on her dress. I will always remember her delightful use of the English songs as well as her exquisite rendition of Schubert's “Erikonig.” Marie Jeritza is now a favorite in this city, much more so than she was after her first concert here a year ago. T ~ " asked to read Dearth’s letter to Van Ogle (warm personal friend of the judge) then prosecutor, instructing dismissal of impeachment proceedings which grew out of that grand jury’s report. “John O’Neill, counsel for McAuley, has been subpoenaed to bring his papers relative to the defense which had been prepared for McAuley, to the Senate trial. Attorney Lon Guthrie, who appeared before the House Judiciary A committee, may be called to tell how, when sitting as a special judge in DeartVs court, he adjourned a trial to get anew jury panel because he was aghast at conditions which he found. Prosecutor Joe H. Davis and his deputy, Paul Brady, will testify and produce records to show a large number of persons drawn for jury service when their names did not appear upon the tax duplicate. A number of other witnesses and other sets of documents will be brought before the Senate.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Mark up another triumph for the management of Ona B. Talbot. HEARING MARTINELLI I was able last night to hear Giovanni Martinelli, great tenor, on the radio program of Atwater Kent. The weather certainly handed me a lot of interference, and at times I had a lot of “static bees” along with the great voice. Os course, the weather v.as to blame, and not the artist. The group containing “April” and "Mother, My Dear.” by Martinelli. with Salvatore Fucito at the piano, was my favorite of this concert. The Atwater Kent orchestra did magnificently with and “PanAmerlcanna.” This orchestra accompanied the tenor while singing "Celeste Aida” from “Aida.” which was one of the high spots of this radio concert. Here was another great experience with great music over the radio. FASCIST CLASH IN U. S. Italians at Port Chester, N. Y., Fight —Eleven Arrested. Bu United Press PORT CHESTER, N. Y., March 21.—A plot between Fascist supporters and opponents landed eleven Italians in jail here after ten of them and several policemen had been given hospital treatment for cuts and bruises. Fascists met early Sunday afternoon to make arrangements for welcoming Col. Francesco De Pinedo, trans-Atlantic aviator, when he arrives in New York. Later a group of anti-Fascisti met in Aviglionse Hall and rumors that an outbreak was impending reached police. Chief Peary and ten of hie men searcltw the audience for weapons. A pistol was found on one man. When the meeting broke up Fascist sympathizers gathered on the outside of the hall. A free-for-all fight followed.

Jacltio and his mother measured each other across the space. “What did your father tell you before he died? Was it ‘be true to yourself, Jackie?’ Well, I heard them talking of a little girl who is growing feverish, crying for her pearls. There it tells all about it in your papers.” Jackie stared at his paper, for the first time viewing them as enemies. They seemed to burn him. He dropped them and fled. 4 , They were like changing lizards, crawling, alive things, as they slipped through his fingers. “Here, kid, I brought ’em back to you.” Jackie’s mother gazed at the lunch she was trying to prepare and a tear slipped down her cheek. She was happy. She knew her boy. “Maw! Maw! He brought me home in a swell car and look at the money, more ’ei* a bank’s got. Tomorrow he’s sendln’ for you and me. We’re goln* to the country 4,” and he aided a little shyly, “she’s goin’, too. Gee! Ain’t life great?”
