C. Hunter Raine of the defunct Mer-
camille bank and his brother Gilbert

Denver, Feb. 10.-Sensational tes-

Vlenti, Sicilian strikebreaker, at
the congressional investigation into
the Colorado coal miners strike. He
swore that Pittsburg agent en-
ployed him at So day; that he was
taken to the mine in Colorado and,
after working several days, he de-
manded his money, but never got it
He was compelled to resume work, he
said, at reduced figure, and de-
clared he saw one strikebreaker shot
and killed because he refused to work
He said he told an Italian judge about
the incident, but was advised to re-
turn to work and keep still. After
the soldiers were sent, he said he saw
the cavalry ride against women and
stick them with bayonets until they
cried in pain, and that he heard one
officer say: "Kill the women"

In Its Annual Convention
To Select New Officials

be Messrs. Cochran. Fawcett, Camp
bell and Heber, with fifth member
from Mesquite Lake, though there was
a difference of opinion as to who that
would be.
According to this guess, Clark
Adair, the candidate from west OF
the Brawley Main, who was. supposed
to have the practically solid support
of that section, would not be elected.
though in case of division of votes in
the Mesquite Lake district he might
come into office.
During late weeks there has been a
search for proxies, and these have
been issued in large numbers by those
who could not attend the meeting, and
several large blocks of votes are thus
ready to be cast, some Of the candi-
dates having in their pockets sufficient
votes to make their elections secure

Club Women Hold
Important Meeting

The Womans' Ten Thousand Club
met in adjourned session yesterday
afternoon for further discussion of
business before the club at the regu-
lar meeting February A. The pres
ident, Mrs. w. S. Fawcett, presided.
The first matter considered was the
appointment of Mrs. w. j. Clements
as chairman of the decoration commit
tee to fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Mrs. Nance. The club
then proceeded to elect secretary
and Mrs. Winthrop Pier was chosen
to succeed Mrs. F. w. Waite, who re-
signed some time ago.
The main object of the meeting yes
terday was to ascertain the sentiment
of the club concerning the disposition
of the six lots on State street. The
executive board of the club, after a

Imperial Water Company No. 1 is
in session at Imperial today in its
annual meeting, with the usual large
assembly of stockholders and with the
customary interest in the outcome of
the election of directors, who, in turn,
will elect the officers for the coming
year.
The surprise of the day was the an
nouncement by President Willard
that he would not be candidate for
reelection to the board, and shift
ing of the probabilities of the out
come.
The paper goes to press too early
to give any details regarding the elec-
tion, the result of which will not be
known until late this evening, in all
probability, but forecast this morn

lieved he could pick four of the five

the patrol over the prisoners, but
he refuses to discuss the outbreak.
Reinforcements were not taken
from the several hundred troops at
Fort Rosecrans, because the army
regulations require sufficient force
on continual duty to man each of the
guns at the artillery post.
Sixty men of Company M were on
duty when the outbreak occurred at
midnight, Thursday, and it was be-
cause of the scarcity of troops in
the face of the overwhelming number
in the detention camp that rifles were
discarded for the machine guns.
1t is believed by the military au-
thorities that the outbreak was a
direct result of a conspiracy to eff
feet the release of Gen. Kosterlitsky,
the famous soldier of fortune, who
for fifteen years had been in the Mex
lean federal service.
President Huerta of Mexico, it is
asserted, has been personally negoti-
ating with the authorities at Wash
ington for the release of General
Kosterlitsky that he might reurn to
Mexico and assume the commander
ship-in-chief of the federal forces and
drive the rebels out of the interior.
This despite the fact that Roster
litsky's political sympathies have not
been revealed in regard to the pres
ent rebellion.
Details of the outbreak in the de-
tention camp are lacking, but it ap-
pears that after the word had been
passed from mouth to mouth by the
leaders of the conspiracy, they rushed
the guard patrolling the north side
of San Diego bay.
On this side of the detention camp
the road to San Diego is reached over
a military trail and on this trail a
number of automobiles were d'sccv-
cred by the soldiers following the at
tempt to escape.
: The trail led to Old Town, Ranona's
home, and from that point il would
have been easy Cor the prisoners to
have reached Mission Vale" and the
hills. s'~@s
Several prisoners taken re- ntly by
troops along the border and thrown
into the detention camp were sus-
pected of being agents of either the
Mexican Federal or Earranzisra
causes and to have deliberately eff
fected their own Imprisonment for the
purpose of conveying news or the
spirit of revolt into the camp.
The several hundred prisoners in
the detention camp have been there
fer seven months and their restless
ness has been the cause Of 10 little
rrecaution and some alarm, although
every effort has been made to keep
them unarmed-
The soldiecs who have been doing
duty at the camp are overworked, it
is claimed, the scarcity of men COM
pel.;r9 each man to walk post every
other day and on the day between this
duty to fill a place on the poll &c or
other squads.
Reinforcements will be welcomed.
Detention camp is several acres of
land surrounded by a ten-foot wire
fence over which is the sentry plat
form, where ten or more men are al
ways on duty. The American guards

in the regulation tents. The prisoners

three being armed with rifles and one
carrying an automatic revolver. They
did not wear the uniforms of Mexican

BRYAN PACIFIED BY GEN. VILLA
Assures the Secretary of His Harm
less Plans

Washington, Feb. 10.-After ar
hours conference last night with Pres.
ident Wilson, Secretary Bryan an
nounced that assurances had been re-
ceived from General Francisco Villa
of his intention to protect Spanish
subjects when he attacked Torreon.
Word also was received from the
Constitutionalist general of his inten-
ton to assist in fixing the RESPONSE
bility for the tregedy at Cumbre Tun-
mel, on the Mexican Northwestern rail-
road in which several Americans We're
suffocated. General Villa has complied
with the request of the state depart
ment that a guard of soldiers ac-
company the party, composed mostly
of Americans, who intend to recover
the bodies. Secretary Bryan said ne
had ordered American Consul Ed
wards at Juarez to send special mes
senger with the party to report on the
affair.
Constitutionalists here say Maximo
Castillo, who is charged with respon-
sibility of the tunnel accident, is an
irresponsible bandit with small fol-
lowing, recognizing neither Huerta
nor Carranza. He was the trusted
bodyguard of Madero when the latter
took the field against Diaz, and men,
bers of the Constitutionalist agency
here say his present outlawry is the
result of insanity. They say he will
be summarily dealt with by Villa If
captured. ,,.r
The announcement that Gen. Villa
would protect Spanish subjects in his
invasion of Torreon brought relief to
officials here, who had been swamped
with petitions and representations on
behalf of the threatened Spaniards.
Urgent representations had been made
to Villa by Consul Edwards at the in
stance of the American government.
Secretary Bryan said tonight earlier
dispatches to the effect that Villa had
intended to execute all Spaniards We're
not confirmed. 1t is understood Villas
warning was directed chiefly against
Spaniards who were actively assisting
Huerta.
Word was received here today that
Charles Myers Dobson, an American
formerly a newspaper man, was I'M
prisoned at Torreon, and Secretary
BRYAN dispatched request for IN,
formation to, the American consul
there.
