fifteen years for killing his wife, by
accusing Ellis attorneys of bad
faith. The fact that a fifteen-y year
sentence was accepted without ask

testimony they produced at the
trial. He said that he referred par
ticularly to the testimony of alien

II They Wish to Annihilate the Fed
eral Army Which Fled
From Torreon.
RETREATING FEDERALS CUT
WIRES AND BURN POLES
This Army is Said to Be Strongly
Entrenched in the Hills Near
San Pedro.

Juarnz, Mex, April 4.---The reb
els have still another Dattle to fight
if they wish to anniEilate the rem
nant of the federal army which fed
Thureday night from Torreon.
While the Odds are all said to be
in the lebel's favor, an admission to-
night of Gen. Carranza was consid
cred significant. 1t was to the effect
that his telegraphic conference with
Gen. Villa this evening, concerned
the acaombling of additional troops
and supplies at San Pedro and Tar
rasa to which places Gen. Velasco,
Ihc federal commander led his
troops from Torrc9n.
Gen. Carranza says:
There is no news from San Pedro
be- aig9 the federals on their retir-
ingArnt all the wires and burned the
Telegraph poles. We are hoping
that ccuricrs will arrive at Torr4on
CT Gomcz Palacio tonight With
move.
While there is no disposition 10
insinuatc that Vclasco, with the
remnant of an army, whose spirit
might have been affected by dc.
feat ana great hardships and by
flight from pursuing enemy. can
defeat the elated rebels, it is pointed
cut thal he is probably able to ill
fIict considerable damage. The hills
among which he has distributed his
men arc said to offer strong natural
defenes, and there is always Il
chance Of his being reinforced from
M5utercy and Saltiiio or the south
Previous reports placed the num-
bcr of pursuing rebels at 1000, and
the fact that the Carranza-Villa CON
ference concerned reinforcements is
said to indicate one of two things,
either that another battle of large
proportions is expected or that Tie
rebels are merely attempting to
minimize their own prospective loss.
by bringing overwhelming number
to bear The large number Of troops
also is necessary to effect the en-
ycloping movement which Villa Is
said to be desirous of accomplishing.
Had he been able to block Guarach
canyon at Torreon, the federal army
might have been captured.

CHURCH is CALLED
COMMERCIAL ASSET
Committee Appointed to Arrange For Sys-
tematic Effort to induce the People
to Attend Church

The great Go to Church" mova-
ment IS on IN Cairo, the meaning OF
the much advertised phrase, See you
in Church." is now revealed. The
movement is not new. although now
in Cairo, itr. Memphis the chosen
Sunday saw twenty thousand people
who were not in the habit Of at
tending church seated in the pews
of The various houses of worship.
In East St. Louis and Bcllcyille,
tho movement is now being enthrsi-
atically carried on, and countless
hundreds are acquiring the habit Of
church going in those places where
a concerted campaign has been cal
ried on to induce people to attend
service.
A prominent divine has said "Peo-
pie should go to church, for by so
doing they are helping to sustain the
most valuable commercial asset Of
the city" Remove the churches
from Cairo and real estate values
would topplc and business values OF
all kinds very seriously deteriorate. "
In one sense, we might be safe in
saying that every man in Cairo is
either a church supporter or church
sponger,
The modern pulpit no longer die
courses upon dry dogma, but deals
with the questions of the hour and
the problems of human life and civic
duty. The churches in Cairo are
many and, while they may differ in
creed, they one and all extend a cor
dial welcome to all comers.
