REBEL LEADERS
 SEE END OF WAR IN NORTH MEXICO
Rebels Hold Important Towns And Use Their Own Pos
 tai Stamps.

Juarez, Mex Dec 4-While footing by isolated bands or conf1scation of property by the rebels may continue, the days of fighting in northern Mex ico are numbered so far as the pres ent revolution is concerned, according to opinions expressed by rebel leaders today.
 General Francisco Villas assertion that there was not much more to fight for in the north because of the bank rupt condition of the federal army which caused it to evacuate so i'm portant city as Chihuahua, has spread among the rebels.
 What most immediately concerns the socalled constitutionalist party now is the elaboration of it's civil gov ernment. This embraces a more sys- tenatlzed customs system to be en- forced along the border. The rebels hold all the important border towns except Neuva Laredo and Piedras Negras, opposite Eagle Pass.
 There remains also to be put in force a uniform currency system, for now rebel and federal currency are in conflict, one kind being acceptable in one place and another kind in an- other. The rebel postage stamps aI- ready are in use. Many governors and state officials are to be selected.
 Within short time, the leaders say, a. government will be in opera ton in the northern part of the coun- try which will be entirely independent of that at Mexico City.
 The settlement of the civil ques- tions is one reason why Villa. has ask ed General Carranza to meet him at Chihuahua. Sy1vestera Terraza, a newspaper editor in Chihuahua, who is not related to the wealthy Terraza family, has been selected for gover- nor of the state. Villa expects to leave to Carranza the task of estab- fishing civil government, devotfng himself to the military campaign southward towards Mexico City.

apparently in good health. Last even ing he attended a. moving picture theatre returning home about g o'clock. Shortly after he complained of feeling i'll and his condition rapidly became so alarming that Mrs. Bi1tz called pr. Charles Gardner. Despite the efforts of the physician to revive him, death came shortly after the doc tor reached the home.
 MT. Bi1tz was 61 years of age and was born in Weisbaden, Germany. There he learned the trade of a butch CT. He came to Bridgeport from Ger many in 1869 when he was IT years of age. His first employment was in the market of c. D. Meeker in State street not far from where he after ward established himself in business.
 MT. Bi1tz remained in the employ mentt of MT. Meeker for three years and then entered the employ of w. N. Terry. In 1877 he engaged in the meat and grocery business for himself in partnership with his brother-in-1aw, the late Fred Bommos. under the firm name of Bonmos & Biltz. MT. Bonn mos was at one time tax coI1ector, and in 1891 was killed near the foot of Wall street while attempting to a1ight from a moving train which he had boarded by mistake. Since the death of his partner MT. Biltz continued the DuS1noSS alone W1LnOuL fCnanS1nS the firm name.
 His first store was about two doors below the present store at 95 State street. Besides his widow, MT. Biltz is survived by two daughters, Mabel and Florence Biltz, and one son, Charles F. A. Bi1tz, formerly director of public works.
 Three sisters also survive him. They are: Mrs. George Gray and Mrs. A. F Sch1osser of this city and Mrs. S Huhler of Weisbaden, Germany. MT Bt1tz was a Republican and at one time took an active part in politics He served one term as a. member o1 the Board of Charities. He was also active in fraternal circles. He was 8 member of St. Johns lodge, F. and A. M., Hamilton commandery, No. g. Knights Temp1ar, Pyramid temple Mobiles of the Mystic Shrine and the Concor61ia and Orion singing societies
 He was a member of the German Reformed church and the body will lie in state in the church prior to the funeral services.

MAYOR DISPLAYS
 MORE PROMISES TO ] FIX MAIN STREET

Because Quarrymen have not deliv cred stone and because teamsters steal his lanterns, John Sanders of Dan bury, president of the Bridgeport & Danbury Railroad Co.,, says his com pany is unable to complete the repair of North Main street as speedily as he would like or as residents of that sec tion demand. MT. Sanders has written to Mayor Wilson in reply to a letter sent him by the mayor demanding that he keep his promise to repair the road way. The letter was written by the mayor on December ? after a visit of a committee of complaint from the North End improvement association. The committee consisted of Nicholas Tes- iny, John B. F. Jones and Frederick Antone.
 Sometime ago the Common Council ordered the Bridgeport & Danbury Railway Go. to put Main street in the same shape it was before the com pany's contractors tore it up to put the railway through. The company, through it's president MT. Sanders promised to repair the street. A few loads of crushed stone were dumped into the excavations and then the work stopped.
 Distractions and signal lights have been placed about the work until more material can be procured and more work done.
 All the teamStenS In the surround ing country supply themselves with lanterns from the line of the road,'' is the complaint President Sanders makes to the mayor. How the stealing of sig nal lanterns prevents the company continuing the work of repairing the road, he falls to mention. President Sanders says he is not familiar with the circumstances under which the guard rail was removed from the road which passes Horse Tavern Inn res ervoir, but he promises to have the rail replaced at once.

 Isn't the old world just full of number of things good it is to be here and to share in them all Best of all, how good it is to be here at Christmas. Of all the things in the world is there anything big ger and better than the true Christmas spirits How it does grip usl How happy when we ourselves fully and heartily to making others happy that not the true impulse of Christmas: the making of other folks happy? r-s Let the children first It is right that they should Christmas is their day; the day when they should all be happy as kings.
 And then, let not forget the children grown-up To get the most out of Christmas, must put the most able into it. As ones heart goes into thing gets enjoyment out of that very thing Is this not especially true of Christmas; have you personally found it so?
