gross mistreatment by the Constitu-
tionalists were without foundation
but in the absence of any official in
formation on the subject, it had been
impossible to convey definite assur-
ance to many anxious inquirers.
So far, Consul Letcher has forward
ed to the state department no reply
from Gen. Villa to its representations
regarding the treatment of the Span
ish residents of Chihuahua, but it is
assumed that the consul has not found
it easy to communicate quickly with
the rebel general, owing to Villas
military activity along the extended
line of the ConstitutionaIist army. Lit
tie doubt is felt that Gen. Villa will
heed the admonitions of the depart
ment and extend proper treatment to
the Spaniards as we'll as to other for
eigners. In this connection, department
official deprecate the demonstrations
in favor of Huerta, which are said to
have been made by the Spanish ele-
ment on the American side of the
border.
Americans and the whole foreign
colony at Tampico are now enjoying
a period of quiet after the exciting
events of the past week, but their
piece of mind is marred by the news
that 1000 ConstitutonalistS are en-
camped within 20 miles of the town
and may renew their attack upon the
federal defences as soon as they can
replenish their store of ammunition.

The Inquest.

County Attorney Fisher stated to the

The coroner's jury will attempt to as

About Mr.. Eldridge.
The doctor set forth a theory, de-
Quoted, he said, from the appearance
of the skin in the burned areas. The

as with a good road ClOudcrOft will
get much Of the business that now goes

Wretched condition. and the grade is
so bad that il is almtst impossible to

GET ON THE CARS
ON NEAR SIDE

Beginning today, Hammond street
car patrons riding on the Green lines
and the Gary & Interurban will have
to get the near side habit. In accord
ance with an ordinance passed some
time ago by the Hammond city coun
Gil the Green line put the regulation
in force today. The Gary e. Interurban
has been stopping it's ears on the near
side for several weeks and its patrons
are already used to the change Gary
has a similar ordinance.
In Hammond the near side stops ap
ply to all street crossing, with the ex-
ception of the four corners where the
system would be too impractical. 1t
was a rather bad day to try out the
new stops for people who waited on the
far side, as they were compelled to
hustle across slushy streets in a driz-
zling rain, but the car crews were pa
tient
The near side stop system is in effect
all over Chicago.
