Tragic Speech of Dominguez
to the Senate Is Re
ceived Here.
WAS ASSASSINATED SOON
AFTER ATTACKING HUERTA
Called Him "Impostor, Wicked, Un
fit. Sanguinary and Traitor."
and Urged Deposition.
A most dramatic chapter in the history
of the recent troubles in Mexico was re
vealed last night, when, for the first
time, a full account of the events sur
rounding the delivery of a speech in
the Mexican senate by Senator Belisario
Dominguez attacking Gen. Huerta was
receiveu in Washington by friends of the
former here. The text of the speech,
which was received here last night, has
never been published before, having been
suppressed in Mexico City.
It was the delivery of this speech which
led to the arrest and killing of Senator
Dominguez, and this led to an inquiry
into his death by the Mexican chamber of
deputies which resulted directly in'the
imprisonment of 110 of the deputies and
the dissolution of the congress, followed
by the establishment of Huerta as dic
tator. Therefore the speech has a direct
bearing on more recent events.
Dead Body Found in Suburb.
Shortly after delivering the speech Sen
ator Dominguez went to the Hotel Jar
din in Mexico City, and was arrested
there by two detectives and told that he
was to be taken to the penitentiary.
These facts, according to friends of the
dead senator here, are matters of rec
ord at the State Department here.
Shortly afterward his dead body was
found near Coyoacan, a suburb of Mex
ico City.
Senator jjominguez's speech, demand
ing the overthrow of liuerta, was, in
part, as follows:
"Senators:
"You all have heard with great inter
est the message presented to the con
gress of the union the 16th of Septem
ber by Mr. V. Huerta. The heap of un
truths contained hi said document, hon
orable senators, has filled you with in
dignation, without any doubt, as it has
tilled me with the same. Whom does he
pretend to deceive, gentlemen? The con
gress of the union? No. gentlemen. AH
members of tills body are learned per
sons, versed in the science of politics,
well acquainted with events in the repub
lic, and who could not be deceived in
these matters.
"Does he pretend to deceive the Mexi
can people, that noble fatherland that
confiding in your history has placed in
your keeping her dearest interests?
What must be done now by the national
-epresentation? Be true to the confidence
with which the country has honored it:
tell It the truth and not allow it to fall
Into the abyss that opens before it.
"The truth Is this:
State of Country Worse.
"During the rule of Mr. V. Huerta.
not only has nothing been done toward
the pacification of the republic, but the
present state of the country is infinitely
worse than before. The revolution has
spread nearly through all the states of
the republic; many nations, formerly
friendly to Mexico, have refused to
recognise the present government as
legal; our currency is depreciated in
foreign countries: our national credit
Is all but ruined. The press of the
whole country is either gagged or
cowardly sold to the government, and it
Is systematically hidinp the truth; our
fields are deserted and many of our
towns razed to the ground.
"Lastly, our unfortunate country is
ibout to be enveloped by hunger and
starvation and misery in all its forms
through the whole length and breadth of
the land. To wlikt may we attribute tills
state of things?
"First and before every thing else, to
the fact that the Mexican people cannot
put up with the idea of having Mr. V.
lluerta as president of the republic?that
soldier who took hold of the powers of the
government, by treason, and whose first
act on assuming the presidency was to
assassinate in a cowardly manner the
president and vice president who had been
anointed by the popular vote: that same
president who had honored Mr. V. Huerta
with promotions and honors and dis
tinction and the same to whom Mr. V.
Huerta had publicly sworn unswerving
loyalty and fidelity.
Extermination His Weapon.
"Our sad plight Is also due, in the sec
ond place, to the means which Mr! V.
Huerta has decided to use in order to ob
taii. the pac'ficatlon of the republic. These
means are well known to you?death, ex
termination of men, families and towns
that do not sympathize with his govern
ment.
"Mr. V. Huerta lias said that peace will
be brought about "cost what It may." Have
you realized, gentlemen, what is the full
Import of those words In the blood-thirsty
and selfish standards of Huerta? Tnose
words mean that he is ready to shed every
drop of Mexican blood and cover with
corpses the wide extent of our land; that
he is ready to spread ruin and devastation
upon the whole land, provided he can re
tain the presidency and not one drop of
his blood oe spilled.
"In his insane endeavors to retain the
presidency. Mr. Victoriano Huerta is bring
ing about another infamous complication.
He is provoking an international conflict
with the United States of America, which
conflict, if it should be settled by aa
armed struggle, would lead to a silent
des'.th all Mexicans who would have sur
vived the butcheries of Mr. V. Huerta. All
Mexicans, 1 say, except Victoriano Huerta
and Aureliano Blanquet. for the people
and the army would repudiate them, as
marked with the stigma of treason.
Mockery of Elections.
"This is, in one word, our sad situation.
To those who are feeble in spirit our ruin
seems inevitable, because Mr. V. Huerta lias
taken such a hold of the supreme powers
that In order to secure the triumph of his
candidacy to the presidency of the repub
lic in the mockery of elections announced
for the litith of October next he has uu:
hesitated in violating the sovereignty of
the greater number of states, removing
the legal goveniois and placing in their
Mead military governors who will see to
It that the people be hoodwinked by
means of ridiculous and criminal shams.
"Nevertheless, gentlemen, one su
preme effort may save the whole situa
tion. Let this national representation
do Its duty and our fatherland will yet
be saved and will bloom forth again
greater, worthier and more beautiful
than ever.
"The national representation must
depose Mr. V. Huerta front life presi
dency of the republic, for l? is against
him that our brothers in arms are pro
testing and consequently, because he is
the one that least could effect the
pacificiation of the republic, which is the
supreme desire of all Mexicans.
"You may say. gentlemen, that the
attempt is dangerous, that Victoriano
Huerta is a fierce and sanguinary sol
dier who murders men without any
hesitation if they are an obstacle iii
his path. No matter, gentlemen, the
fatherland demands of you due com
pliance with your duty even in the face
of'danger and even if sure death stares
you in the face.
* Impostor, Wicked and Unfit.
"If in your anxiety for the reign of
peace in the republic again established
you have committed an error and have
believed the insidious words of the man
who promised to pacify the nation within
two months and have appointed him
president of republic., today, when you
clearly see that said mail is an Impostor,
wicked and unfit for the purpose, and
>vho is leading the nation to a rapid and
unmistakable ruin, will you allo<w him.
through fear, to continue in the supreme
power? Meditate upon this subject deep
ly, gentlemen, and answer this question:
"What would be said of the crew of a ship
that in the throes of a tempest, while at
the mercy of the maddened waves, would
appoint a butcher for pilot, even know
ing that he had no other knowledge of
nautical science than a man traveling on
the sea for the first time, and who had
no other recommendation but that of
having treasonably murdered the captain
of the ship?
He Had a Plan.
"You cannot shirk your obligations,
gentlemen, and our fatherland hopes and
expects that you will know how to com
ply with them. This first duty being
complied with, it will be easy for this
national representation to comply with
the others that from it depend. It
would at once request the revolution
ary heads to suspend the fighting and
name their delegates, who, in accord
with us. may elect a president and this
latter would call the general elections
and see that they are conducted accord
ing to the requisites of the law.
"The world is watching us, gentlemen
members of the Mexican national con
gress. and our country expects you to
honor her before the world and spare
her the shame of having a traitor and
an assassin for her ruler.
"It is of the utmost importance that
the Mexican neonle may come to the
knowledge of this discourse. As T
cannot secure the services of any
printing plant 1 request all those who
may read it to make five or more copies
of the same, inserting this notice, and
distribute them among friends and ac
quaintances of the capital and of the
states.
"Would to God there were a printer
honest and fearless."
Within a few hours Senator Domin
guez was dead.
CHURCHlSBOUNO
BY NEW DOCTRINE
United Congregationalists
Adopt Constitution at
National Council.
SOCIETIES BROUGHT
UNDER SINGLE CONTROL
But One Dissenting Vote to Scheme.
Meetings Every Two
Years.
KANSAS GITY, October 25.?Congrega
tionalism, united and aggressive, as rep
resented in its national council, toiay ac
cepted almost unanimously a constitution
framed by a commission of nineteen. The
final vote was Ml! to 1. The documer'"
contains a new statement of doctrine, pro
vides for the election of a general .secre
tary with advisory powers toward the
Congregational churches of the country,
brings the church societies, eight in num
ber. under the control of the national
council and changes the time of holding
council meetings from every three years
to every two years.
When the final vote was taken the one
dissenting vote was cast by Robert Short,
i layman of Seward, 111. The concen
tration of the missionary societies under
the national council's control did not
please him.
Probably the strongest discussion was
met when the statement of doctrine was
brought up.
Meets With Rebuff.
President Charles A. Blancliard of
Wlieaton College, 111., one of the leaders
af the conservative faction of the coun
cil, met witii a rebuff when he suggested
that the word "power" be added to the
phrase "God the Father, infinite in wis
dom. goodness and love." The sentiment
of most of the delegates who spoke on
the question was that the belief in the
"power" of the Almighty was sufficient
ly conceded by all of them that it did
not require an expressed statement.
To a charge that the doctrinal state
ment "lacked clearness" Rev. Charles
Francis Carter of Hartford. Conn., re
plied:
"The statement of faith here presented
is notabie," said he, "as maintaining
the sense of historic continuity with the
faith that has found expression in .vari
ous creed?, now emphasizing one phase
and now another, but always holding to
the supreme sources and central objec
tives of faith in God, the Father, and
Jesus Christ, His son.
"By its significant silences it exalts spir
itual experiences above the dogmatic,
while it gives individual freedom of
thought."
New Statement Simple.
Further discussion of the doctrine elic
ited a statement from Rev. Newman
Smvthe of New Haven. Conn.
"The new statement," said he, "is in
simple language so that any man. even
If he is not a lawyer, can understand it.
We hereby assert that we have a faith
we are not afraid to own. In spirit of
liberty ,in love of Christ, if we shall hold
to these standards, as we go marching on.
we shall never fail to claim pur apostolic
succession In the faith of the holy Ath
olic church."
One of the solemn moments of the coun
cil was just before the vote was taken on
the adoption of the constitution. In a
voice shaking with emotion Neliemiah
Boyton of Brooklyn. N. Y.. former mod
erator, asked permission to address the
delegates.
"We are about to ehter," said he. "into
one of those moments of the highest his
toric interest. We believe we approach
a highly desirable consummation. We
wish to follow the direction of our God.
We wish our church to be spiritually ef
ficient. We have been prodigal of our
religious forces; we must conserve them.
We must have the fires of consecration
burning anew in our veins. March sepa
rately, but strike together."

TRUSTEE IN COURT
FOR VINTON ESTATE
Ulrica Dahlgren Pierce Asks
That Interest of Minor Be
Determined.
PART OF THE PROPERTY
LOCATED IN WASHINGTON
Allegations That Payment of Share
to John Dahlgren Was
Illegally Made.
Special Dispatch to Tlx? St*r.
CINCINNATI! Ohio. October 25.?A sup
plemental and ancillary bill has been flled
in the United States district court here by
Ulrica Dahlgren Pierce of Washington,
D. C., trustee of the trust estate of the
late Samuel F. Vinton, in the cane of
Sara.. Madeleine Goddard et al. agt
George Goddard et al.. to have determined
by the court what, if any, interest John
Dahlgren, a minor, has in the Viqton es
tate; whether he is entitled to certain
moneys which have been paid to Brie B.
Dahlgrent#s his guardian, by the trustee,
and also as to who will be entitled to re
ceive the body of the trust estate at the
termination of the trust.
It is set out in the bill that Baroness
Romaino von Over beck, granddaughter
of Samuel F. Vinton, and her three chil
dren?Gustav Convcrs, Oscar and Albert
von Overbeck?all of whom reside In Switz
erland, hav<> raised the question as to the
right of John Dahlgren to any part of
the distributive portion of the trust es- j
tate, created by the will of Samuel K
Vinton, and particularly as to such part
as was derived from rentals and royal
I tics and from invested proceeds of trust
lands sold. It is said that they allege
thai payments aggregating about JtiO.UOO.
made by the trustee to Erie B. Dahlgren,
as guardian of John Dahlgren, are ille
gal, for the reason that John Dahlgren
was not a person, nor the immediate is
sue of a descendant of any person in be
ing at the time of the making of the
Vinton will, March 1, 1862, nor was lie
horn within twenty-one years after tiie
death of Vinton.
Makes Adjudication Necessary.
The plaintiff sajs that this contention
makes it necessary to have adjudicated
the payments hitherto made by her to
Krie Dahlgren as guardian, and also to
have determined that which may here
after be paid to John Dahlgren and to
other parties, and to otherwise protect
and direct her as to future distributions.
The Vinton estate is said to be worth
several millions of dollars. At the death
of Samuel F., in 18(52, he was possessed
| of immense tract^of land, some of which
; was mineral and coal land, in Vinton and
Athens counties, Ohio, He also owned
valuable realty in Washington. D. C., his
home during the latter part of his life,
arid immense tracts of Towa land. In his
will he created a trust including all of
his property, naming Charles B. God
dard of Zanesvilie. Ohio, as trustee for
iiis only- daughter, Sarah Madeleine God
dard. at that time a widow, and her two
children?Romaine Goddard and Yjnton
Goddard. The. will provided for a trust
until the death of Mrs. Goddard and her
children. It provided that during their
live* they were to receive the income from
the trust in equal shares, and upon death
of all of them the trust estate ceased and
determined, and the estate was to be dis
tributed among the lawlul heirs and as
signs in fee.
Mrs. Goddard's Second Marriage.
Mrs. Goddard in 1865 married Admiral
John A. Dahlgren of Washington, and
to them were born three children, John
V. Dahlgren, dying August 10, 1899,
leaving one son. John Dahlgren; Eric
B. Dahlgren and Mrs. Ulrica Dahlgren
Pierce, the present trustee, who has
two children, Josiah D. and Vinton D.
Pierce. Mrs. Goddard's daughter Ro
maine, by her first marriage, became
the wife of Baron Gustav von Over
beck, deceased, and is the mother of
Gustav Con vers. Oscar and Alfred von
Overbeck. Mrs. Goddard's first son, Vin
ton. died unmarried intestatg. All mem
bers of the Dahlgren branch of the Vin
ton family reside in Washington, and
the income from the estate has been
divided among the four grandchildren
of Vinton as provided under the will.
These grandchildren are Baroness von
Overbeck, John V. and Eric Dahlgren
and Mrs. Pierce.
Alleged Prohibition in Law.
It appears that the laws of Ohio, Iowa
and the District of Columbia relating to
perpetuities, etc., prohibited the payment
of what would have been the share, of
John V. Dahlgren in the income from
the trust estate to Eric Dahlgren, as
guardian of John Dahlgren and for the
latter's benefit.
This is set out in the bill filed by Mrs.
Pierce and she states that she was in ig
norance of the laws when she paid to the
son the deceased father's share. She says,
however, that there is a question as to
whether, under the language of the will
and the law, the terminated trust estate
passes by will or by law or by both will
and the law of descents. This question
she asks the court to decide.
Also the court is asked to order the re
payment to the trust estate or to who
ever is found to be entitled to the same
the moneys paid cn acount of John Dahl
gren, should it be determined that the
moneys w ere paid by the trustee illegally.

Modesty^ and Simplicity in
Dress Indorsed by District
Federation.
SEX HYGIENE: COURSES
IN SCHOOLS ADVOCATED I
i
Would Have Candidates for Mar
riage Examined by Health
Department.
Almost unanimous condemnation of the
present styles in dress and dances fol
lowed a discussion of these subjects at
the meeting of the District of Columbia
Federation of Women's Clubs at the
Raleigh Hotel last night.
The discussion was on a resolution in
troduced by Dr. Elnora C. Folkmar.
chairman of the committee on social
hygiene. The resolution provided that I
mothers permit their girls to dance only
those dances which are modest, pure,
simple and sane, and those that raise no
question in any one's mind regarding
their propriety.
The so-called "new dances" had at i
least one champion in Mrs. T. F. Rorkt. I
president of the Capitol Hill Historical j
Society and the represent#ive of that or- I
ganization in the federation. Mrs. Rorke
said she had been horrified when she first
learned that her son danced the tango,
the turkey trot and kindred terpsichorean
novelties. She said that she saw for her.
self liow they were danced, and discov
ered nothing objectionable in them. The
whole question in any dance, she said,
was how it was performed. When the
matter was put to a vote, however, the
resolution prevailed.
Modesty in Dress Urged.
Dr. Folkmar's resolution on modern
dress set forth that the time was at huud
for all women, and especially the
mothers of growing girls, to encourage
and practice modesty, simplicity and
sanity in dress.
"Modesty demands,'' the resolution said,
"that the dress be distinctly feminine,
quiet In tone, refined in line, and of a
texture and mode to protect the wearer
from undue attention. Simplicity de
mands that the dress be suited to the
individual income and station In life,
the time, the place and the occasion.
Sanity calls for the observance of these
demands of simplicity and modesty." This
motion was unanimously adopteJ after
little discussion. .
The subject of sex hygien? and morals ;
was then taken up. Dr. Folkmar said a
wave of thought touching on these ques
tions was sweeping the country, and
that it should be encouraged. She offer
ed a resolution recommending that sex
hygiene and morals be taught in the
normal schools of the city, and that a
course of eighteen lectures on this sub
ject be necessary in 6rder to receive a
diploma. The resolution was unanimous
ly adopted.
Congress was asked to empower the
local health department to examine, free
of charge, all domestics, children's i
nurses and candidates for marriage for
evidences of specific diseases, it was de
clared this examination should not be
mandatory, but rather a privilege to the
classes it included.
liaising' of Funds Discussed.
When the subject of wssys and means
of raising money for the federation was
brought up. a variety of schemes was of
fered. First, it was proposed that a ba
i^ar be held in December for the sale of
aprons and like articles, *to be made by
members of the ' organization, but this
met with disfavor. Mrs. Mary l.oek
wood suggested that the cost of printing
the yeAr books and cards of the federa
tion be apportioned among the members,
but there was opposition to this idea also.
Mr* Ada Weiss thought It would ba
a good and feasible plan to have th Sec
*
retar.v of the State and some "singers"
entertain at one of the local theaters
some Sunday afternoon, but the question
of raising funds was Anally vested in the
hands of the ways and means commit
tee.
Luncheon to Be Given.
Mrs. L. W. Calver, chairman of the
i-ltibliouso committee, announced that a
I'jiiclieou would be given In January,
that otic of the members of her commit
tee had already volunteered to furnish
the hall for the affair, and one of the
twelve members of the committee Mould
visit every club affiliated with the fed
eration in order to secure a largo at

On motion of Mrs. Rob Roy Mc
! Kalian!1 the federation unanimously and
I enthusiastically placed itself on record
1 as favoring the plan of the local chap
i ters of the D. A. R. to raise funds for an
| additional probation officer at the Juve
l nile Court, and strongly in favor of the
; erection of a new courthouse and deteu
! tion home for children.
Mrs. Mary lx>ckwood and Mrs. Wil

of the federation, spoke on the life, char
acter and work of Mrs. Charles Warren
