Doesn't Avoid Publicity.

and playwright, last night gave his i'm
pressions Of the rebel chief Smith was
granted an audience with Orozco in a
stateroom aboard the train and was
authorized by him to tell anything which
he had seen or heard while with the com
mand providing it was told exactly AZ he
heard or saw it. Regarding his i'm
pressions, Smith said:
THE younger Orozco, who shares the
command equally with his father. is
most remarkable man, and displays the
fact in many ways. He is said to be
most conservative and seldom ever utter=
an unnecessary word. When asked q
question he will study for a moment and
then give answer In short. sharp sen
tences, which ring with confidence in his
judgment. At all times he is mixing
freely with the men, but rarely talks un-
less questioned.
"A Mauser rifle which he carries never
leaves his hand, and when he sleeps IL
is with his fingers clutched about the
stock of the gun. He never hesitates tn
aid the men to perform any kind of
work. and is always present where thsrs
is the most danger.
Considerate of Americans.

last Monday. said Smith, I'VE were
greatly surprised to hear shouts Of viva

"Pasquel Orezco, the chief, aooonpanied
the men through the entire train, quiet
ing the fears OF the passengers and
searching for government men whom he
believed to be aboard. 1t was he who
gave money to Mexican women whose
husbands he retained when the train wa;
finally released and 1t was he who paid
for everything which was obtained from
small stores along the line"
