LOSES HIS JOO
Rev. Charles L Quinn Says He Did
Not Use the Word as a Swear
Word, But Deacons Kick
NEW YORK, March 5—The Rev.
Charles L. Quinn, pastor of the Re
formed Episcopal Church in Leonard
street, Greenpoint, spent today pre
paring his "valedictory” sermon in
that pulpit. Dr. Quinn planned to
resign tomorrow upon the suggestion
of Bishop Rudolph, of Manhattan, fol
lowing charges by some members of
his congregation that he said during a
conversation. "You be damned.” or
‘ I’ll be damned.”
Quinn today again explained that
he did not say either. He explained
that he did say “there are lots of
things a damned sight worse than
dancing.” He explained thus: “But
I used ‘damned’ in the past tense,
which the dictionary tells you means
condemned, detestable. Therefore I
did not use ’damn’ as a swear word.
There was no profanity.”
Scores of Rev. Quinn’s parishioners
fought the action of certain church
officials against the young pastor, and
they used every influence to keep
him from resigning, declaring he has
greatly increased the membership ot
the church.

HUE BULL
Crowds Not Satisfied Unless Horses
Are Disembowled and Men Killed
—Held on Sundays.
MEXICO CITY, March 5.—A world’s
championship crowd goes every Sun
day to the bull fight in the great
steel and cement ring at Condesa.
All week there are cues at the bull
fight ticket offices. The crowd will
endure everything but cowardly
bulls. A bull that won’t charge on
the horses as soon as it’s rushed in
to the arena, brings vast volumes of
jeers. It isn’t the bull that’s being
jeered, however, but the management
for not getting better bulls. One re
cent Sunday two bulls in succession
were unsatisfactory to the crowd,
whereupon a small revolution took
place.
Cushions anil pop bottles flew from
thousands of waving arms, at the bull
fighters, the bulls and the horses. All
the humans in the ring took to shel
ter, including the great Gaona, him
self, who used to be a bootblack, but
now gets $4,000 for each Sunday after
noon's work, outsalarying Caruso. The
uproar grows. The judges hang up a
sign. "$500 fine for throwing objects
into the ring.” Immediately the crowd
commits about $5,000,000 worth of that
offense, just to show what they think
of the entire questionable arrange
ment. The whole 40,000 persons seem
to have become demented.' The band
of over 100 pieces is unheard.
Suddenly a new bull dashes into
the arena and drives its horns into
the stomach of a horse, disembowel
ing it. The horse stands erect a mo
ment and tries to walk, with its en
trails dragging on the ground. The
yells of the crowd turn to cheers.
Gaona jumps into the ring again. The
bull dashes at him and he steps away
out of the way, so that the horns
barely miss him and the bull’s black
side scrapes Gaona’s body.
No beer bottles or cushions for Ga
ona now. The air is filled with hats
flying into the ring. Gaona is a fa
vorte again Attendants rush into the
ring throw the hats back into the
seats. Gradually each man gets his
hat back—for when a Mexican throws
his hat into the ring he always gets it
back again, or he’ll make trouble for
the management—and the bull light
goes on.
Gaona, by the way, is one of the
most remarkable toreadors Mexico

STILL PROBING
BENTON’S DEATH
Also Searching for Gustav Bauch, an
American, Who Was Friend of Ben
ton’s and Cannot be Found.
j
NOGALES, Mexico, March 5.—The
search for Gustav Bauch, the Ameri
j can, who has been missing since Feb.
25, continues, but it is believed now
that he has been killed by Gen. Villa,
because he was a witness to the mur
der of William S. Benton, the British
subject murdered in cold blood by the
rebel general.
The American Department of State
has a number of secret service agents
here and in El Paso and along the
border hunting for evidence, but it is
generally believed that he was killed
shortly after Benton was murdered
and his body buried in some unmark
e d grave.
EL PASO, Tex., March 5.—Charles
Percival, the English consul at Gal
veston. who was ordered here to in
vestigate the killing of Benton by Gen.
Villa, has completed his investigations
and forwarded a report to the Eng
lish ambassador.
NOGALES, March 5.—Provisional
President Carranza today appointed a
special commission to investigate the
circumstances surrounding the kill
ing of William S Benton, and the dis
appearance at the same time ot Gus
tav Bauch, the American rancher.
Two Englishmen who crossed the line
with Bauch are still missing and fears
are entertained that they also have
i been murdered.
EASTERN STORM
COST MILLIONS
Perishables Were Allowed to Go to
Waste, as Trucks Were Unable
to Reach the Waterfront.
NEW YORK, March 5.—The com
mission houses of this city report that
the loss in perishables because of the
recent storm will run into the mil
lions of dollars; $100,000 worth of
bananas were lost because of the tie
up of street traffic, as the trucks and
wagons were unable to reach the big
fruit steamers from the south upon
which the large shipments of bananas
were brought here.
Handlers of perishable freight were
the worst sufferers—among them the
United Fruit Company, the Cuneo
Importing Company, and the Atlan
ti Fruit Company. On one day of
this week the United Fruit Co. threw
2.000 bunches of bananas into the East
river. The loss to the banana busi
ness alone, it was estimated, at the
company’s piers today, would be $100,
000. __ *
From the beginning of the storm
until yesterday not more than one
half of the bunches received on in
coming steamships of the Atlantic
Fruit Company’s fleet had been dis
charged Pier superintendents said
that about the same situation existed
among other lines handling perishable
goods.
The shipments of perishable freight
coming into the city over the rail
roads also were lost, many of tips
trains never reaching here until dayj
after they had started and when they
did the conditions on the streets made
it impossible to take the freight from
'the yards, as the trucks could not
reach yards or depots. All the ship
ments unloaded were immediately
frozen and will be carted"ltb the river
and dumped overboard.

The steamer -Alameda left Skagway'1
at 4 o’clock, this morning for . Valdez

tomorrow night or early Saturday

PULLMAN RATES
RAVE GONE UP
If Yoi/ Want a Compartment Now
to Yourself You Must Pay Two
or Three Fares.
WASHINGTON, March 5.—March 5.
—Beginning tomorrow two can live
as cheaply as one. at least insofar
as riding in Pullman drawing rooms
is concerned, for an order increasing
the cost of high living goes into ef
fect on all the large railroads. Or
dinary Pullman berth rates are not
effected, but where a single passen
ger wants a drawing room compart
ment all to himself he will have to
pay two, two and one-half or three
times the railroad fare plus the Pull
man rate, according to the road and
train.
On the New York Central lines no
drawing room or compartment will be
sold to a passenger who has not pur
chased two railroad tickets, and those
who wish such accommodations on
the Empire State Limited between
New York city and Buffalo will have
to buy three tickets. The Pennsyl
vania lines will hereafter require the
purchase of tickets aggregating two
and one-half times the regular fare
between two points before selling a
drawing room to a passenger. None
of the increase will go to the Pull
man company, whose contracts with
the various roads remain in force.
The increase was not ordered or in
stigated by the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the sole duty of that
body will be to see that the new rule
! is enforced impartially.

GILL RECEIVED
A RECORD VOTE
| __
Carried Seattle by Largest Majority
in the History of the Spir
it City.
SEATTLE, March 5.—Mayor-elect
i Hiram Gill received ihe largest ma
jority ever given to any candidate
■in the history of the city. His vic
tory is sweeping and he carried al
most every section of the town. The
residents of the lower end of the city,
including the former red light district,
voted for Gill to a unit, believing he
would allow them to resume oper
ations, while the respectable resi
dents of the city aided Gill because
they believed his promise of reform,
and they know that he has the abil
ity if he has the determination to
| suppress the forces of the underworld.
1 It is freely predicted that Gill will
'never allow th resumption of the
•conditions which caused his recall,
but will strike a middle course and
will allow no open running of resorts
or dives and will keep his promise to
close all the cafes.
A majority of the charter revisions
voted upon by the people were adopt
ed and Seattle will soon try the com
mission form of government in place
of the present cumbersome system
of city council and mayor.
Under the new system the commis
sioners will appoint a paid manager
for the city, who will have direct
control of all branches of the munic
ipality.

AMERICA RICH IN
JEWEL DEPOSITS
Production of Precious Stones in
This Country Assuming Large
Proportions.
WASHINGTON, March 5. -Ame
thyst and turquoise, bluer than sea
or sky, diamonds without a flaw, op
als with a subtle "tire” that makes
them priceless, and emeralds green
as an island in a southern sea—th.se
are some of Uncle Sam’s own jewels
and the high tariff on such gems may
soon cease to worry the American
maid who cannot forget her orna
ments. A report on the mineral re
sources of the United States, just
made public by the United States
Geological Survey, shows that the pro
duction of precious stones in this
country is assuming the proportions
of an established industry.
Sapphires are the most abundant,
and during the last twelve months foi
which records are available gems ap
proximating $260,000 in value were
! mined in Fergus county, Montana.
Opals, some of a finer quality than
those found in the big mines of Aus
tralia, have been discovered in Hum
boldt county, Nevada, and San Ber
nadino, California, the production be
: ing ten times as large in 1912 as in
I any previous year. Diamonds have
j been found in such quantities in Ark
ansas and Indiana, as to make them
a commercial factor, and scattered
stones have been picked up in Cali
fornia, Wisconsin and Texas. From
a lapidarian standpoint North Carolina
is one of the richest states, two emer
ald mines being located near Shelby
and amethyst deposits have been
found in Lincoln and Warren coun
ties. Beryl has been found in Alex
ander county. Turquoise exists in
large quantities in New Mexico, and
topaz is being shipped from Mason
county, Texas.
