BRAZIL AND ITS COLORS.
Flag Day There Has Now Become the
. Great National Festival.
In the republic of Brazil, where the
ruling language is Portuguese and a
welcoming hand is extended alike to
the European and the Asiatic im#i-
grant, great attention has been paid
for some years to the cultivation of a
spirit of patriotism.
The cult of the flag has become more
and more ardent in the hearts of
that people, and the “feast of the flag”
each recurring November is celebrated
with more and more pomp and enthu-
siasm all ever the immense empire and
on every Brazilian ship, wherever it
may be. In a country noted for its nu-
merous saints’ days the celebration of
Flag day has become the true festal
day. i
Commenting on this, Le Bresil Eco-
nomique of Rio Janeiro says: “Our
people are imaginative and simple. A
flag undulating in the breeze as it
passes by to the strains of martial
music, that the officers salute with the
sword and before which everybody un-
covers, speaks more strongly to the
heart of the people than any dry his-
toric date which presents nothing in
the concrete and which to jhe ignorant
recalls nothing of significante.”
The lesson of the flag is taught to all
the children of the schools in Brazil,
and on Flag day they gather in the pub-
lic squares of the city and town and,
as in the United States, sing patriotic
hymns.—Indianapolis News.
COLLEGE HAZING.
It Was Called “Wrecking” In Carthage
In St. Augustine’s Time.
At most American colleges it is called
“bazing;” at West Point it is called
“crawling” and at English schools
“fagging” is often applied. When St.
Augustine was a boy they called it
“wrecking.” ;
In a translation of his “Confessions,”
for which I am indebted to a learned
clerical friend, St. Augustine relates
what the boys did at the University of
Carthage:
“I would take no part in the wild do-
ings of the ‘wreckers,’ a cruel and dev-
ilish name, which was looked upon as
the stamp of the best set. I went about
with them, and of some of them I made
friends, yet I always disliked their
ways of going on their wreckings,
their wanton attacks upon the shyness
of freshmen and the unprovoked af-
fronts with which they carried on their
malignant amusement. Nothing could
be more like the conduct of devils, and
what name could be fitter for them
than ‘wreckers.’ ”
That sounds as if the Carthage soph-
omore was fully as much endowed
with self importance as the American
sophomore. I may add that St. Augus-
tine’s criticism of “wrecking” is one
more ancient proof that “boys will be
bogs.” —Philadelphia Ledger.
Labby’s Leng Walk.
In “Bohemian Days In Fleet Street”
is this Labouchere incident, which hap-
pened when he was in the diplomatic
Service and was sent on a mission to
St. Petersburg:
Before starting he had a dispute with
the foreign office about his expenses.
The foreign office had its idea of the
scale; Labouchere had his. But the
office refused to reconsider its deci-
sion. Labouchere took his leave, cross-
ed the channel and was to all appear-
ance lost. A week after the appoint-
ed time he had not arrived at St.
Petersburg. A representative of the
foreign office was sent out on his
trail. He was traced to Paris and from
thence to Vienna, where he was run
to earth. In reply to his discoverer he
coolly said, “The foreign office refused
to pay me my expenses, and I'm walk-
ing to St. Petersburg.”

SENATE REPORTS
ON PAINT CREEK
Sub-Conm tee Chairman Out-
lines Causes of Walkout
MUCH VIOLEN _E AKD MURDER
Says Conditions Existing in This Dis-
trict Were Most Depiorable—Well
Armed Forces Fought For Su-
premacy, Not for Order.
Washington, D. C.—The report of
the Senate subcommittee which in-
vestigated the West Virginia coal
walkout, was filed in the Senate by
Senator Swanson of Virginia, chair-
man of the committee. His report,
while characterizing condition as
“most deplorable,” makes no recom-
mendations. The report was a gen-
eral summary of conditions in the
Paint Creek and Cabin Creek fields.
In summing up Senator Swanson
said:
“The conditions existing in this dis-
trict were most deplorable. The hos-
tility became so intense; the conflict
so fierce, that there existed well-
armed. forces fighting for supremacy.
Separate camps, organized, armed and
guarded, were established. There was
much violence and some murders.
Pitched battles were fought. Law and
order disappeared and life was inse-
cure for both sides. Operation and
business practically ceased.
“As these unhappy conditions no
longer exist, as the differences have
been amicably adjusted, and an agree-
ment entered into for several years,
and as peace and confidence now pre-
vail, work and business having been
resumed, the committee does not con-
sider it wise to elaborate upon the
many causes which produced these
deplorable conditions.
“Among the contributing causes
may be enumerated the following:
“The failure of the operators in the
Paint Creek district to renew their ex-
piring contract with the United Mine
Workers; the determination of the
coal operators not to reco@nize the.
miners and the equal determination
of the miners to organize and form a
union; the employment by the oper-
ators of mine guards; the failure of
preserve order and permitting things
to drift from bad to worse without in-
terference; discontent among the
miners occasioned by no opportunity
to purchase homes; no cemeteries ex-
cept upom the company’s grounds;
postoffices’ in the company’s stores;
private roads only ao the schools and
stores; the “disposition of operators
to keep strict espionage of all strang-
ers and to exercise their right on
private roads only to the schools and
all persons objectionable to them.”

RANGERS RETURN
VERGARA'S BODY
Invade Mexico and Ride Across
Border With Slain American
WAS TORTURED AND SHOT
Governor O. B. Colquitt Declares Tex-
ans Wanted the Body of the
Ranchman and Got It—Corpse
Was Identified by Son.
Austin, Tex.—Texas Rangers cross-
ed the international boundary into
, Mexico, disinterred from the Hildago
cemetery the body of Cilemente Ver-
gara, the Texas ranchman, who was
lured into Mexico by Mexican federal
soldiers, and returned with the body
to American soil.
A report from Laredo stated that
the body had been secured by a body
of unidentified persons and denied
that the Texas Rangers had anything
to do with the affair,
Governor Colquitt authorized the
statement that he did not specifically
instruct Ranger Captain J. J. Sanders,
who recovered Clemente Vergara’s
body, to cross the border to get it.
The governor, however, said he had
no complaint to make about Sander’s
action. He wired the ranger captain
for full particulars, but lack of tele-
graph facilities delayed the report.
Unofficially, it was said the gover-
nor presumed Sanders’ men had pro-
ceeded to get the body with the co-
operation of Mexican authorities.
The rangers viritually were making
use of permission granted officially
by Mexican federal authorities sever-
al days ago for recovery of the body
.The official report of Captain San-
ders on the incident was given out by
the Executive Department. It simply
said:
“I proceeded to Hidalgo, secured
Vergara’s body and returned it to
Lareo.”
Vergara had been shot twice
through the head and once through
the neck. The skull was crushed as
though from the blow of a rifle butt
and the charred left hand was taken
to indicate that he had been tortured
before being killed.
Identification was made by Ver-
gara’s son and by numerous friends,
many of whom were in the party of
nine led by the state border patrol,
which made the grim jowrney to the
Hidalgo cemetery. The "body was
: easily recognizable, despite its three-
week’s burial. In addition to recog-
+ nizing the features. young Vergara

took a bit of cloth from the trousers
of the body and matched it to the coat
his father wore the day he crossed the
Rio Grande. :
The body was brought into the
United States at a point 45 miles
northwest of Laredo, opposite Hidal-
go, and near the Vergara ranch.
American Consul General Garrett of
Nuevo Laredo, deputy sheriffs and
other authorities were waiting to re-
ceive it, and pending the arrival of an
undertaker from Laredo, an armed
force stood guard over the body.
Recovery of the body was made by
a force of Texans, largely friends of
.| Vergara, acting with a troop of Texas
Rangers, under Captain Sanders, who
have been investigating for Governor
Colquitt the cirqumstances of Ver-
gara’s seizure by federals.
the force was & man who
claimed to have been a witness to
both the execution and burial of Ver-
gara.
The force gathered near the Ver-
gara ranch, not far from the spot
where Vergara crossed the river to
meet the Mexican federals who prom-
ised remuneration for stolen horses.
Moving silently they began the over-
land march to Hidalgo, a distance of
about five miles. They entered the
town, and met no one to question their
journey. Location of the grave prov-
ed an easy task. “
