TO DECIDE ROUTE OF
NATIONAL HIGHWAY
NATIONAL OLD TRAILS, AssoclA-
TIoN HOLDS MEETING IN
KANSAS CITY.

Kansas City, April 29.-Whether
the western end Of the proposed De-
can to Ocean highway shah pass
through a section noted for scenic
beauty or along a route replete with
historical interest probably will be
decided at the annual meeting of the
National Old Trails association.
which began here today. The origi-
nal old trails route across the conti-
nent ends at Santa Fe, N. M Lovers
of the historical contend that the
route from that point should follow
the old Doniphan trail, and the Kear-
ney road, which gained their names
from General Alexander W. Doniphan
and General Steven Kearney. Dele
gates from the scenic route want the
road built directly west from Santa
Fe through the mountains by way of
Grand Canyon, reaching California at
Barstow, thence to Los Angeles and
up the coast to San Francisco.
New Mexico and Arizona towns on
the proposed scenic route sent dele
gates to argue against the southern
route.

El Paso, Tex, April 29.-General
Inez Salazar succeeded in reorganiz
ing nearly one-half of his command
after the mutiny yesterday at Casas
Grandes, says mis- official report re
ceived today at Juarez. But the fed
eral commander is left with less than
200 men.
Led by Colonel Maxine Castillo, $50
of the rebels set off to join Francis
co Villas bands of insurgents report
ed near Minaca. They took with them
most Of Salazar's ammunition and
supplies. Even those men remain
ing with Salazar are said to have re-

against the constitutionalists.
After taking all available money as
well as ammunition from Casas Gran

ceeded to the Corralitas ranch, an
American property, and supplied
themselves with horses. Then they
cut the Mexico Northwestern railway
north and south Of Casas Granies.
General Salazar's remaining force at
tempted to follow orders and hasten
to Chihuahua City, but failed to pro-
ceed farther than Pearson, returning
today to Casas Grandes.
Unlike Captain Kidd's buccaneers,
Francisco Villas insurgents refuse to
bury their booty. With them over
steep mountain trails they are carry
ing nearly 100000 worth of silver
and gold bullion, weighing nearly a
ton. This was reported by American
ranchmen arriving here today from
the MADEIRA district where Villa is op-
Grating. The treasure was captured
several days ago from a Mexico
Northern railroad train bound for
Chihuahua City from the Guerro min

The metal is packed in wagon
drawn by team of mules. Beside
the wagon ride ten guards picked
from Villas 200 odd followers. 1t is
considered daring venture to come
within rifle range of the treasure
wagon. The actual value of the metal
is estimated at 18O,vU0 pesos.

HE ASKS FOR A DELAY
REQUESTS COAST STATE TO WAIT
TILL A NEW TREATY is
CONCLUDED
ARGUMENTS ARE CONSIDERED
HOWEVER, LEADERS SAY LEGIs-
LATloN REPUGNANT TO
JAPs WILL BE PASSED

I Sacramento, Calf, April 29.-How
long Secretary Of State William j.
Bryan expects to remain in Sacramen-
to as the active opponent Of the
alien land legislation is the question
with which the majority leaders in
the California legislature are wrestl-
ing today in an effort to decide what
course to pursue in carrying out their
plans for the enactment of the partic-
ular kind Of land-holding law they
have in mind.
Secretary Bryan is opposed to their
plan, but that arguments against 1t
came to naught iii the secret confer
ence with Governor johnson and the
legislature yesterday is not apparent.
He announced that he rhad said All
that he came to say but, in the Ian
guage Of a leading progressive sena-
tor, he is still here and the belief is
current that he will remain until the
bill is passed.
The administration leaders are not
disposed TO allow a filibuster, even
one conducted by the secretary Of
state Of the United States, to CHECK
them, and unless Mr.. Bryan presents
urgent reasons for further delay in
the conference that he is expected to
call late this afternoon, the opinion
is expressed that it is probable the
legislature will take hold Of the situa-
tion at once
While the distinguished visitor
looks on adjournment has been set
for May 3, but it is planned to extend
this date to May TO- Even this ex-
tension allows less than two weeks
for the legislature to wind up its af-
fairs, and the majority leaders feel
there is no need to waste time with
the alien land bills, when other mat
ters of vital importance to the state
are on the files. Although several
messages in code were received BY
Secretary Of State Bryan this morn
ing from President Wilson, Mr. Bryan
declined to discuss the contents Of his
kilograms. Their possible bearing on
the situation is the subject of wide
speculation among the legislators.
Both houses of the legislature turn
ed to their routine work today as if
there had been no interruption.
A delegation from the Lodi Anti
alien association called on Secretary
Bryan to present the views Of Ameri-
can farmers living in that community,
where feeling against the Japanese is
said to be intense.
The visitors were introduced by AS
semblyman Stuckenbruck, democrat,
who has announced his intention Of
voting for strong anti-Japanese bill
in whatever form it is presented, re-
gardless Of Mr.. Bryan's arguments
The secretary Of state promised the
visitors further hearing this after
noon.

Predicts Huerta's Downfall.

Chicago, April 29.-"The Huerta
government in Mexico probably will
be overthrown within two weeks"
said Robert ]. Kerd, attorney, who
recently came from Mexico, in an ad-
dress before the Rotary club today
THE situation there is far more
serious than Americans realize. It
is vastly more important to this coun-
try than is the Balkan situation.
Americans are forced to flee from
Mexico because the American flag is
not as much respected as the flags
of other countries, and Americans, II
they remain, do not know whether
they will be able to secure damages
for their ruined property"

(Air, Meet Me Tonight Tn

 dly; An old procuress spied her there, She came and whispered in her ear: Come with me now my girly, Don't sleep, out i'll the cold; Your face and tresses curly Will bring you fame and gold, Automobiles to ride in, diamonds and
 silk to wear, You'll be star bright, down in the
 red light, You'll make your fortune there Same little girl, no longer pearl, Walks all alone long the river, Five years have flown, her health is
 gone, She would look at the water and
 shiver, Whene'er she'd stop to rest and sleep, She'd hear a voice call from the deep:
 REFRAIN. Girls in this way, fall every day, Aud have been falling for ages, Who is to blame? you know his name, It's the boss that pays starvation wages A homeless girl can always hear Voices calling everywhere: Come with me now. my girly, Don't sleep out in the cold; Your face and tresses curly Will bring you fame and gold, Automobiles to ride in, diamonds and
