Otto 7. Simon, the chorus Is round
ing into shape. with frequent rehear-
sails, and the early holiday concert
bids fair to be one of the most success
full in the organizations history.
The first program, which has been
made an intelligent study both from
the standpoint of the composer and for
the iine taste and dignity Of the teNts.\
has for it's beginning and end the
musical expression of two great events

CrucifXion and of the Nativity. The
first part is in the form of a Motet
of the seventeenth century. Cruel

of the seventeenth century. Following
these secular text is taken up. "Au-

contrast is shown in the next number,

'The Tyger." the words by the great
English poet, William Blake.

usual Christmas music will be sung in
the darkened theater with only the
lighted tree apout which the singers

that a cash bond will be furnished.
Failure of the Fisher jury to agree

Ell PASO. Tex. Nov. S.-General
Villa today declined to state the exact
time he would start southwark to begin
a campaign for the capture of Chi

would be either tonight or tomorrow
morning.
He expects to take with him about
GOO soldiers. leaving 1.JOo under com
mand of Col. Juan Medina to qua I'd
Juarcz. 1t is expected other cOnstitu-
tionalst troops will join Villa before he
reaches Chihuahua. and that he will
have a force of 1909 soldiers when his
campaign opens.
Villa has given no intimatiOn of his
plan of campaign. but he believes the
recent battle Of TERRA Blanca disor-
ganized the federal forces so corn
pletely that they will not offer an e.
fective resistance.
United States Consul Edwards has
taken under his protection all shops in
Juarez whose owners refuse to accept
fiat money issued by Villa. Villa has

Der of months, medical men have pass

with a view of making a careful and

G|OVERNKT Wins .
ORTEMCCAE

In lengthy decision involving a hCSt
OF complicated legal technicalities, L.
.. District Judge Clemens this morn
ing finds for the federal governments
in the latter's suit TO recover a bond
CT $3.50 from James F. Findlay. mas
ter of the British steamship Orterie,
and his sureties, T. Give Davies and
". n. Laird.
The suit is an old one, that has been
hanging fire in the federal courts since
some time IL 1911. when the case of
the Orteric, the immigrant ship, be-
came famous.
On its face it involved merely a suit
on a BOND. given to secure the pay
ment of penalties of $500, which
were incurred by the steamship on it's
voyage to Honolulu in 1911 with 1900
Portuguese and Spanish immigrants
and which were the subject of an in
Testigation and lengthy report of the
federal grand jury of July of that year
The ship had not complied with the
Passenger act of 1882" to secure
health and safety of its passengers at
sea, and as a result, among other
things. the infant mortality was very
high and the sanitary conditions of the
vessel were declared by the acting sec
rotary of commerce and labor to have
been the worst ever reported to that
department.
There were also violations of that
provision of the law relating to the
segregation of the sexes, for which
the master pleaded the excuse of an
unavoidable want of discipline due to
a riot between the Spanish and Portu-
guese a few days out from Gibraltar,
who thereafter had to be kept separ-
ated as much as possible, though this
could not be done within the rigid pro-
visions of the law.
There was considerable delay in the
presentation of proof and the court
suggested the re-opening of the case
after 1t had first. been submitted, in
order to get certain evidence in the
hands of the department at Washing,
ton.
On the theory of the case as first
presented, the decision held that the
governments position could not be
but the additional evidence
disclosed a different theory, which
saved the case from being lost on a
teChniCality.
