PAVING OF LEE
The NEXT WORK
OF IMPROVEMENT
DESIRED BY The RESIDENTS
Initial Work to That End is
Being Done

The paving of Lee street, Taylo.',
Church and College streets, while
seemingly huge proposition, is not
too great an undertaking for. PRO
gressivs Americus," and is an assured
eventuality. Americas, since all CT
the streets in the business district
have thus been improved, is a full
convert to street paving and even the
most pronounced crouch and chronic
kicker would not now go back to con-
ditions existing two years ago. AS one
of the principle residence streets of
Americas, Lee street must soon he
paved its entire length of one and Il
quarter miles, to the southern limits.
Property owners will heartily favor
the proposition, as aside from the
standpoint of comfort and appearance
assured by paved streets, the general
enhancement of every property on the
street thus improved will be very great
and far in excess Of the cost of the
work. Americas must progress upon
all lines, and the paving of her prin-
cipal streets is a decided step in the
march of progress.

NO interest in the games are the ling

Huge crowds collect every afternoon

some reason not altogether accountc /

MRS. DE VILLIERS, OVER WHOM SHOOTING TOOK PLACE IN
 LOS ANGELES, WAS VISITOR.
REGARDED AS ECCENTRIC
Glover Came fom Fl Paso and Visited Her on Several Occasions at the Majestic, Where She Had a Suite of Twelve Rooms for Five People.

Mrs. Daniel De Villiers, who later became Mrs. Roy l.. Glover, and in whose home in Los Angeles De Will Hers was shot and killed by Glover Tuesday night, was known in Hot Springs. She arrived in the city on September 6, the morning after the big fire, with her two children, two servants and fifty trunks.
 Mrs. De Villiers took quarters at the Majestic Hotel, requiring a suite of twelve rooms for her party, three rooms each for herself and for her daughter. The rooms were connect ing, on the second floor of the hotel. and facing Park avenue. This suite gave her almost the whole of the front section of the hotel.
 Mr. Glover came to the hotel from Fl Paso on two or more occasions to visit herself and family, but only on short stays. He was a breezy type of Westerner, about 45 years of age, and took more general interest in things than the party he visited, the latter being very exclusive. The par ty remained here until October 31, which means that the De Villier party must have gone direct to Fl Paso, where the marriage took place, and then gone on to Los Angeles to take up their home.

ELLA FLAGG YOUNG PUT BACK AT HEAD OF SCHOOLS BY PUB
 Llc SCHOOL BOARD.
HAD A STORMY SESSION
Mayor Harrison Made Announcement That Men He Had Appointed to the Board Had Voted Against Mrs. Young in Most "Underhanded" Manner.

Chicago, Dec. 23-Mrs. Ella Flagg Young was voted back into the super intendency of the Chicago public schools this afternoon after a stormy session of the board of education.
 Seven members refused to vote on the ground that the board had no pow CT to reconsider, the election of John D. Shoop, assistant superintendent un- der Mrs. Young, who had been elect ed her successor.
 Contention also was made that the four new members of the board named by Mayor Harrison to replace four whose resignations he had enforced were not entitled to their seats.
 The action of the board in removing Shoop and replacing Mrs. Young at once will be challenged in court, it was announced by the opposition. Mrs. Young's failure to be reelected two weeks ago by the school board aroused storm of popular indigna- ton.
 Mass meetings were held and the school board and the mayors office were beseiged by delegations which demanded that Shoop resign and make way for Mrs. Young to come back.
 The womens organizations, politi- cal and civic, were solidly behind the deposed superintendent. Mayor liar rison asserted that members of the school board appointed by him had voted against Mrs. Young in an ''un- derhand" way.
 He summarily accepted the resig- nations of four whose reslgantions had been placed in his hands when they took office. Refusal of the four to abide by this action was the storm center of the fight in the board meet ng today
 The four were in their seats before he meeting convened and refused to cave. Thenew men were forced to ind chairs elsewhere. Men and wom- m damned into every available cor Ter of the board room. A squad of policemen summoned to keep order -emained in the corridor and did not interfere, although until the latter ,art of the meeting when the Young action got to working smoothly to- ,ether, the uproar was continuous.

In Rebel Territory.

Juarez, Dec 23.-A flying wedge of federal troops swept into rebel terri tory today and adopting the tactics of guerilla warfare, began a campaign to destroy railroad bridges and tele- graph lines, according to rebel re- ports.
 Their first act was to cut off con- munication between Gen. Villas 5000 rebels at Chihuahua and the rebel base at Juarez. By pulling down tele- graph wires south of Juarez the fed erals temporarily isolated Villa.
 The small federal band went out from Ojinaga on the border and was believed to have been commanded by Gen. Ynex Salazar, who is well sea soned in guerilla warfare. The fed eral plan. as understood by the rebel chiefs. is to operate extensively over northern Mexico and by working in circles to destroy all property that might be of use to the rebels without engaging the latter in fight.
 According to report Salazar's men were headed for the Casas Grandos district. west of the railroad running from Juarez and were intending to burn houses and other property. In this district are located comparative ly rich agricultural and grazing fields, cultivated by Mormon colonies. Most of the Mormons have left.
 The rebels believe the federals will form nothing more than a fugitive band. destroying what property they can reach and disappearing before they can be overtaken. Extensive de struction of railroads and telegraph lines would handicap the rebels, but so far no serious damage has been done as the wires between Juarez and Chihuahua soon can be repaired.
 Rebel headquarters held to the be- lief that Salazar took only small part of the federal army from Oii- naga. It also was said that SalsAar, after crossing the rebels line of com munication and temporarily crippllng it. might never again be heard from Salazar had only what are known aS federal volunteers, who might return to civilian life.
 An attempted invasion by the fed erals of rebel territory was expected and it was said Villa regarded it is insignificant. The total fedora strength is about 4000 men, the bull of whom are at Ojinaga, while witt more than 10000 men, Villa controls almost all the whole of the country north of Torreon and west of Mon terey.
 The last report from Villa was Una he was sending men and supplies to ward Torreon. in preparation for al attack on that city. AS the federal from Torreon had not opposed tn rebel advance, Gen. Villas plan wa to implant his men strongly and il numbers near that city before attack ing it.
 A train which left Chihuahua fo Juarez before the telegraph was in terrupted had not reported here to night.
