corner of Twenty-second street and
Seventh avenue.

appeared at the church grounds for
several mornings asking for work and
claim that they had intimated that
they were ready and willing for jobs.
This morning. they allege. when they
got there, they found that for
eigners were at work and that no Rock
Island labor was being employed in
the erection of the church.
Arrange Meeting.
The mayor stated that he had no
power to act in the matter. but that
he would assist them as much as he
could. He secured communication
with members of the building commit
tee of the church and arranged for a
meeting tonight between a committee
OF the laboring men and the building
committee.
The building is being erected by
William Groltzinger, a Chicago con-
tractor, and it is presumed that the
committee VIII attempt to effect an ar
rangement with the Chicago concern

resented on the work

Case for Publicity

Every possible kind of mer-
chandies. says the New York
Evening Mail, unless it is too
bulky or is likely t o damage
other articles, is now carried by
parcel post, except that books
are still taxed at the rate of a
cent for two ounces, with a four,
pound limit.
Hitherto the public policy has
been to facilitate the dissemina-
ton Of books for their education
al value by admitting them to
the mails at the lowest, rate ex-
cept only that periodicals by the
pound were carried cheaper.
Instead of the rate of books
being the lowest in the postal
schedule, the carrying charge
now is higher than for any
other kind of mail except let
ters.
Even in the recent extension
of the parcel post limits as to
weight and the reduction of the
unit charge the extraordinary
discrimination against books
survived. Representative Lew
is. who was largely responsible
for the original parcel post legis-
lation, is now seeking to remove
this pc nalty upon printed matter
but he seems to have encounter
ed a stone wall of objection in
congress. Wouldn't publicity
level it?

Big Land Deal

Readers of the News will be
glad to learn that at last title
has been perfected to the forty
acres of land lying adjoining the
original townsite of Clovis on
the west and north of Grand
avenue. This valuable track of
land has been in litigation for
years owing to the patent not
being issued, last week patent
was issued to the land and Cash
Ramey, of this city, bought out
all interests in it and will, we
are told, place a part of it on the
market to Clovis people at very
reasonable prices. AS this land
is only two and on e half blocks
from the Santa Fe shops, with
one of the city school buildings
on it and is so near the business
portion of Clovis, we predict
that it will become one of the
most favored residence parts of
the city. We consider h e
present owner very fortunate in
securing a track of land in
Clovis that is practically sur
rounded by residences.

schools. and we find that the
condition of the schools is good.
and the Compulsory School Law
being enforced.
1t appears that from testimo-
ny brought out bef )re this body
that the law relative to minors
and students in the public
schools frequenting pool halls
is not being strictly enforced,
and we recommend that all
pool hall proprietors and their
employees be warned in this re-
spect, ard that all peace officers
be instructed to see tina. this
law is not violated.
From the meagre information
we are able to obtain, it is our
opinion that the County Commits
sioners are not spending the
County funds judiciously, but
our labors were brought to an
abrupt end by the District At
torney, taking us to task for
using too much time in our de-
liberations. and we were repri-
manded in open court for same.
Thus having completed our
labors. we respectfully beg leave
to be discharged.

Trouble With Silos

Word comes in this week that
the farmers who have built their
Silos above ground are having
trouble. Sundays wind is said
to have demolished no less than
three in the vicinity of Texico,
Messrs. King, Foster and Oliver
seem to have been the unfortu-
mates in this respect. Many
good points of advantage are
argued for both I h under
ground and above-ground silos,
but when the question of perma-
nence arises it is unquestionably
conceded to the underground
silo.

Things Looking Grave
In Mexico.

Chihuahua, Mex. Feb. "a
General Villa announced to day
that Bauch was set free a week
ago at Juarez, and declared that
he knows nothing of the where
abouts of other missing Ameri-
cans and Englishmen. He says
the only foreigners under arres st
by the constitutionists now is a
man named Musgrave, who was
sentenced to three months i'm
prisonment for passing a forged
check. Villa says he wants all
foreigners protected. He offered
today to look after Mrs. Benton's
property for her or buy it from
her.
Washington, ID. c., Feb. "a. -
General Villas connection with
the Bauch case will not be ac.
cepted by the State department
unless the missing man can be
found, according to information
from an authoritative source
today. Villas failure to send
Benton's body to his widow
across the border, strengthens
the belief among officials here
that Benton was not killed by
the firing squad as was stated
by Villa and that this fact
would develop in case of exami-
nation of the body. President
Wilson and Secretary OF State,
Bryan, today held a long con-
ference on the situation, but
nothing was given out as to the
result Of their discussion.
London, Eng, Feb. "a. -
Foreign Secretary, Grey inform
ed the House Of Commons today
that England refused to accept
General Villas unsupported
word regarding Bentons fate,
and that he has sent his own
representative to Mexico, who |
will visit Bentons grave and |
after making a thorough investi.
cation of the affair will make a
most adequate report. He also
said that the American Govern
ment had informed General Villa
that he must not interfere with
the British representative, and
if requested he must allow the
body of Benton to be exhumed.
Mexico City, Feb. "a. - All
newspapers in this city this
morning attacted the American
Cove rnment for its connection
with the Benton affair, declar-
ing that President Wilson'S
Mexican policy makes him Villas
accomplice in the murder, and
declaring that all foreigners are
safe in President Huerta's terri
tory.
Ell Paso, Tex, Feb. "a. Lead
ing citizens here all feel that
General Villa is lying in his stat
ments regarding Bauch and
other missing Americans and
1t is believed here
that Villa knows where Bauch is
and that possibly he has already
been executed. Juarez officials
maintain that Bauch was not
released there, but was taken by
Villa to Chihuahua.
