’ DEATH A
HE HAD LIVED
MONTERY, Mexico., Sept. 17 (by
Associated Press).—General Jesus Gu
ajardo, who treacherously tricked and
slew the wily rebel leader, Emiliano
Zapata, himself fell a victim of decep
tion when he was captured by the
government troops and executed here
on July 18 last. The tale of his latest
and last adventure is thus told here:
Thirteen months ago Guajardo, a
colonel in Carranza’s army, attacked
a detachment of his own faction’s
troops, killed and wounded several oi
them and convinced Zapata that he
had a new adherent. Then, as Zapa
ta, greeted him in salute, he had ord
ered his men to fire on Zapata and
the noted chief was blown out of his
saddle dead.
After many misgivings they accept
ed him as a general in the new army
and gave him the command of a bri
gade and he started for Torreon on a
campaign against Villa. While er
route he stopped his trains, assembled
his regimental commanders and ex
plained that he had no longer resolved
“not to recognize” the de la Huerta
regime any longer but to go into the
field for the newest revolution and
join Ozuna Ricardo Gonzales and the
others fighting to the eastward around
Monterey. But several of the colon
els, his chief of staff and half of hie
command deserted him.
Finally Guajardo abandoned the
trains and started to march for the
mountains of Nuevo Leon. Soon he
learned that Amaro, leaving the chase
of Villa for the time, was on his traci
and that the risings around Monterj
had been failures. The remnant of hie
command melted away under attache
of government troops until there re
mained only one faithful colonel anc
an orderly.
Dressed in civilian clothes, Genera
Guajardo hid in the home of a relative
1J1 ItlVilLW .
Meanwhile Colonel Antonio Cano
one of Guajardo’s colonels who hac
abandoned him. had been captured b}
federal troops, taken to Monterey anc
released there. Next day Colone
Cano called at the house where Gua
jardo was hiding to visit the ownei
who was also his.relative. To his sur
prise he found his late commando
General Guajarado there, who askec
him not to reveal his whereabouts
Cano, however, revealed Guajardo’s
hiding place, an order for his arreoi
was issued and with several others col
onels Cano was sent to execute him
Cano again was -admitted to see
Gnajardo and pretended to unfold tc
him plans for the future. While they
were talking the federal colonels en
tered and arrested Guajardo. He was
taken a prisoner to the state peni
tentiary.
Orders came from Mexico City dir
ecting that he should be tried by court
martial which was done that night
Judy 17. With practically no defense
to offer, he was found guitly, the
sentence was approved by General oi
Division Eugenio Martinez at Montery
and early in the morning General Je
sus Guajardo stepped out of quarters
in his old barracks at the Plaza de
Armas, where he had been tried, and
said farewell to a few faithful friends.
Then he stepped in front of the fir
ing squad and paid with his life the
final penalty of his treachery to the
new government.

TURK IS SORRY ]
| U. S. REFUS D
TAKE MANDATE
BUDAPEST, Sept. 17 (by Associa
ted . Press).—“I as a scholar regret
j deeply the refusal of the United
States to accept the mandate over
Constantinople because the learned
world lost a unique chance to have
an American library in Turkey which
would have brought out the still hid
den treasures of medieval Turkish lit
erature, the Koran commentaries and
Arabian philosophy,” said Professor
Ignatius Goldziher, famous Orientalist
who has just celebrated his 70th birth
day. The studio where Goldziher re
ceived the correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press is in itself a complete
library of Oriental science.
“Either old Turkey must be re-es
tablished, or else the nationalists must
totally modernize it, which would be a
pity,” continued the professor. “The
Turks are the most honest people of
the East. When a Turk pledges his
word, you can rely upon it, which is
hardly the case with their neighbors.
But when they come into touch with
western civilization they get spoiled.
“A Turk generally picks up the
style of the Parisian boulevards but
is out of sympathy with the culture
of the west. And they must not aban
don their national customs. It was
one of the tricks used by the Germans
to delude the Turkish nation by the
false hopes of a mock civilization
dangled before their eyes. The
strength and value of the Turkish peo
ple is in their racial peculiarities, in
their simplicity, honesty, poetical abil
ity and one of the greatest blessings
of America’s control over Turkey
would have been the preservation of j
these rational qualities.”
“According to the news I received
from Germany, Oriental studies there
have come to an end and the well
known Oriental Academy in Berlin is
closed. But I sincerely believe this
gap will be filled by American men of
science who are aware of their re
sponsibility to save the science of the
Orient if its nations are doomed to
decay.”
PEKING, Sept. 17 (by Associated
Press).—An elaborately studded
sword, said to have been carried once
by King Jan Sobiesaki, national hero
of the Polish people and by him cap
tured from a Turkish general in an
engagement near Warsaw nearly two
and a half centuries ago, was present
ed by the Siberian Cossack diet to
Lieut. Gen. Ivanov-Rinov, erstwhile
commander of Kolchak’s cossack *
troops in the days of the August ad- 1
vance in 1919, just before the final ‘
disaster that befell his armies. The ‘
historical relic is still in the posses
sion of the Cossack ataman who is noAV ‘
Avith Semenoff in China.
The SAvord bears the crest of the Pol- ‘
ish Kingdom on its hilt, which is ‘
otherAvise covered Avith brilliants, ‘
pearls, emeralds and rubies. It is said ‘
to be a fact that only the king had the
right to wear this crest on his dress ‘
and arms. The sword is believed to
have been taken by Sobiesski him- j
self, probably from Husse in Pasha
Avhom he sleAV. The Counts Branicki t
are alleged to have reconstituted the |
surroundings in Avhich Jan Sobiesski
lived—but one of his arms Avere found.
Sobiesski more than once saved Pol
and from the Turks and from domestic i
disintegration in the XVII Century and I
Avas then elected by the senate and the
Seim to the Polish throne. He was <
the greatest strategian of thousands.
That the sword originally belonged to
the Turkish general is attested by a
seal on the hilt Avhere the name “Hus
sein” appears in Arabis characters.
