British Minister Will Be Sent to Brazil—Wash-
ington Thinks Change Due to His Attitude
Toward President Wilson's Policy.
GR ANTON
LONDON". .Tan. D .—Sir Lionel C'ardcn,
British minister to Mexico, is soon to be
transferred to Tito de Janeiro, ay njinls
ter to Brazil. He was appointed to Mex-
ico July 18, 1913, to succeed Francis Wil-
liam Strange.
The successor to Sir Lionel Carden at
t.b« City of Mexico will probably be
Charles Murray Marling, senior counsellor
In the British diplomatic service, now ac-
credited io Turkey.
Sir Lionel Carden's transfer, which is a
promotion as far as salary is concerned,
although the two legations possess the
same standing in the service, would hRve
been made some time ago except for the
fact that the British Foreign Office would
not make the change while the minister
was under fire for the alleged interviews
In which he was made to reflect on the
policy of the l otted States toward Mexico.
The diplomatic change in Mexico will be
received with surprise when it becomes
known on this side of the Atlantic, for
while Sir Lionel's actions and general
demeanor since the outbreak of the Mexi-
can troubles hare been considered souie.
what indiscreet bv the general public
nobody here believes that he had done
anything to justify the attacks 011 b I in
which appeared In seme of the Amerl
can papers. Tn fact, it is expected that thn
official statemeur which will doubtless he
issued when tbe changes are made, will ex-
plain that fir Lionel * transfer to Itlo de
Janeiro in no way casts discredit on the
minister.
Sir Lionel Cardeu probably will come to
F.nglnnd before g"lng to bis new post.
It was said by Ills friends that when Sir
Lionel went to Mexico he was offered the
choice of going directly to Jtio de Janeiro
to succeed Sir William Ilenrv Doveton
tlagard, or of spending si* months in
Mexico as minister there before proceeding
to Brazil. Owtug to the state of health
of his wife. Sir Lionel decided to go to
Mexico first.

CI TV OF MEXICO, Jan. 5.— Sir Lionel
Carden had not'beeu advised of his in-
tended transfer to Brazil when the news
was conveyed to him today by the Asso-
ciated Press. He expressed doubt as to
the authenticity of the announcement, in-
timating that the appointment of a new
minister to Mexico would ••onstitute a
reaffirmation of the recognition ot Pre*
ident Huerta by (Jreat Britain, which he
appeared to regard as a course it was
1 doubtful his government would pursue.
The minister said he had been offered
the choice of Mexico and Brazil, and cho*c
the latter, but was persuaded to come to
Mexico temporarily, because of his know
ledge * of t he country and people. He
thought 1i possible that his transfer- if
that were to take place might be intended
as a step calculated to conciliate Wash-
ington. It is no secret that Sir Lionel
Carden's ideas since he came here six
months ag" have been at variance with
President WUsou's policy of lion recogni-
tion of Me*leu. He did not hesitate to
openly express Ms opposition.

WASHINGTON, I». V. Jan. 5.—An-
nouncement that Great Britain is abo>i* to

the City of Mexico, was regarded by offi-
cial Washington a* n substantial manlfes-
tation of the i»urpos»' "i th^ British gov-

as it Is known the activities of Sir Lionel

been a subject of discussion among high

Zabern on Verge
of Widespread Carnage,
Testifies Von Reuter
8TRASSHEKG, (Jermany, .Ian. 5.—Zab-
ern, the little garrison town of Alsace,
narrowly escaped widespread carnage on
November 28, according to the testimony
of Colonel Von neuter, commander of the
Ninety-ninth German Tufautry, before the
court martial here today.
The colonel swore he had fully made up
his mind to order the troops to fire if
necessary to "restore order."*
He accompanied Lieutenant Schad when
the troops were clearing a square.
The colonel said he had replied to an
official who asked whether be (Von Ren-
ter) would allow the thing to come to
bloodshed ns follows:
"Certainly, lllood may flow and under
certain conditions the story will be a good
one if it happens, for we are protecting
the prestige and the honor of the whole
army and of the greatly shaken author-
ity of the government."
Addressing the court the witness added:
•I was convinced that our government
was allowing Its reins to drag on the
ground." t ,
Colonel Von Heuter seems to have acted
under the impression that be was the su-
preme arbiter at Zabern. He informed the
civil authorities of bis intention to pro-
claim martial law, although this was the
Kmperor's ptrogatlve, and be told the pub-
lic prosecutor that "Jurisprudence ends
here." . .,
An interesting light was thrown, on tae
military conception nf what constitutes
disorders bv the testimony of Lieutenant
Schad of the same regiment, who also is
being court martlaled. Schad ordered the
arre«t of ft civilian as he stated on the
stand, "because 1 suspectcd him of hav-
ing laughed." . ... . ,
Lieutenant Schad admitted having broken
down the doors of dwellings in pursuit of
persons who were suspected of deriding
soldiers. State Attorney Kraz testified
that the whole trouble arose out of ani-
mosity to Colonel Von Reuter because of
bis alleged severity and to Lieutenanr
11aron Von For*tn«r. recently convlote.l
in connection with the Zabern activities
as a result of stories told by former sol
diets of their ill treatment by lihu.
The testimony of the district ad ministry
lor of Zabern. llerr Mahl. bore out t •
some degree Colouel Von Feuter'a ailega
tlons of lack of co- Operation between civil
and military authorities. He declared that
under Secretarv Mandel. while giving a
dinner at Strasaburg November is. had
received a telephone appeal from the /*-
bern authorities for assistance, but refused
to permit the dinner to be interrupted,
saying everything would be ended before
any <-nr' couM reach Z«l»cru.
Sercral rlvilliins testified there were no
aerlouK 'It.orders nt any time and that
tlie attitude of the German officers was
jiroTooativc. All wltne*«es agreed that tbi-

the Postal Telegraph Company of Texas
and for the Southwestern Telephone Com-
pany.
When the Maine was blown up in
Havana harbor Judge McLeary felt again
the thrill that had sent him into the field
to follow the Stars and Hars. He sought
and obtained a commission as major in
the United States army, and fought, un-
der tbe flat? he hod once fought against.
He and William McKinley were personal
friends and the President found it easy
to name his former foe, the Texas Demo-
crat, one of the United States judges
for the territory of Porto Ktco Judge
McLeary accepted, and died In the of-
fice.
HAD {1KUN ILL FOR MONTHS.
Falling In health some months ago. Jus-
tice McLeary decided ho wanted to see
the United States again. Ho came to
Washington from San Juan In November
last, and ever since has been confined to
tho hospital In which he died Throughout
his service In P > to Rico he never missed
an opportunity to send cheerful greetings
and congratulations to the Texas Grand
Lodge when it convened in annual sc*
sion. TbJs year he was, for th<* first
time, too ill to attend to this little cere-
mony. But the grand lodge remembered
him and it was left to his old friend and
schoolmate, A. W. Houston, Inst chosen
grand master, to pen the telegram ox-
pressing the hope of oil his Texas breth-
ren (hat the recipient might live to be
with them again.
.lustlee McLeary had been married twice,
both of his wives having been residents
of San Antonio. Ills first wife was Miss
Mary Kmlly Mitchell, She dU'd. leaving
one child. After a number of years .llidgc
McLeary married Miss Mary King. One
son and three daughters were born to
them.
"It was forty-five years ago last .Tun«
that. 1 first met McLeary," said Judge
Houston lost night. "Not even his father
knew him any better than 1 did. We
were at school together, and that is where
one learns to know another. It was with
him, as with me. a matter of never wan-
ing pride that Kobert E. Lee signed in
his own handwriting our diplomas.

men I ever knew. His scholarship was
ripe, profound, broad. He knew litera-
ture aud the sciences like be knaw the
law. and he was an eminent lawyer

Masons it has ever been my pleasure to
know. He loved the fraternity as a whole.

attend the funeral. That, of course, is
Impossible, owing to the time filed for
the interment. Ifis death is a loss to the
bench, to Masonry, to his country. And
it is a loss to the hundreds of friends
who knew him and loved him In the days
when he resided here. We bad not seen
him. many of us, since he left In 1K»8. But
we heard from him at regular Intervals,
and rejoiced that his career was bright
and favored to the last."
Scores of other San Antonlans who were
fond of Judge McLeary In tbe old days
were also sad because of the news from
Washington. Men who lived In Han Au-
tonio more than fifteen years ago without
knowing Judge McLeary are hard to fiud.
To all of them his death will bring a
note of personal sorrow.
