TERRAzAS PLEADS
FOR LIFE Of SON
WHOM VILLA THREATENS TO
MURDER UNLESS RANSOM is
PAID

El Paso, March General Luis
Terrazas Thursday appealed to Ma
rion Letcher, consul at Chihuahua,
now in this city awaiting instruc-
tions, to save his son Luis whose
life has been made the forfeit OF
S50O,OO pesos ransom money II not
paid over to General Francisco VIII
la, the rebel leader.
Consul Letcher declared himself
deeply moved by the appeal OF the
octogenarian head Of the great Mex
lean family, whose wide possess
ions have been confiscated by the
constitutionalists but he had to re-
ply that he was helpless in the mat
ter.
81 am 80 years old and neither
life nor money mean much to me-
said General Terrazas, with a tre-
NOR in his voice. MY son Luis
has thirteen children and they neet
him. I would gladly return to Chi
huahua and Villa could kill me in
stead of my SON.
While General Terrazas did no
say as much, the interview left The
inference that he Is not now in pos
session of the sum demanded. Luis
the son, is about 80 years old ant

rebels demanded $6j0,O00 gold as
the price of his life. The sum was
slow in being paid and Luis was
taken out and moose adjusted
about his neck. Then he was gent

ture was repeated until he signaled
that he would pay the sum demand
ed-all that he had in the Chihua-
hua bank.
After this incident he was remov-
ed from the palace, where he had
been confined and allowed to nve
under guard with his family in one
of his fathers houses. Women rel
atives some time later appealed to
Villa to release him but Villa was
adamant.

NO" he continued. "Pancho VIII
las head would have been placed
on a pike and paraded about the
city. The Terrazas family has ac-
cumulated it's great wealth through
oppression of the people and now
the people demand reparation.'
General Terrazas left Consul Let
chers room and appeared in the
hotel lobby visibly shaken. His
beard is white and his figure below

but erectly.
He was surrounded by friends and
relatives, on whose faces anxiety

AMERICAN TROOPS TO

antees the Washington government de
manded
Carranza's promises not to reimpose
the custom dues collected by Ameri

and to protect the natives who served
General Funston will probably be ac
cepted as sufficient.
Similar pledges from Gutierrez, the
new privisional president, are expect
ed. The American officials collected
several millions in customs dues,
which are to be turned over to the
Mexican government. The fact is TAX

RESCUES GIRL, But IS
CARRIED TO DEATH IN
RIVER ON STEERS BACK

Minot, N. D., Nov. 12.-Roy Torger-
son went to his death on the back of a
steer in the Missouri river near Garri-
son, shouting to Miss Jesse Evans, of
Garrison, whose life he had just saved.
Torgerson rescued Miss Evans from
death when she was attacked by the
steer. In driving the animal off, Tor
gerson's foot became entangled in a
rope around the steers head. He was
carried into the Missouri river when
the steer dashed over 2O-foot bluff
in to the water.
When Miss Evans reached the river
bank, Torgerson had succeeded in
mounting the maddened steer. A mo-
ment later Torgerson and the animal
were sucked into a whirlpool and
drowned.
Torgerson was riding across the
country and left Minot only few days
ago to continue his journey to San
Francisco.

IRENE J0NANI TO
APPEAR IN RECITAL
HERE MONDAY
GRAND OPERA STAR BOOKED FOR
THIRD NUMBER OF ARTISTS
COURSE,

Irene johann, lyric soprano with the
Chicago-P Philadelphia Grand Opera
Company and one of the youngest
prima donnas before the public today,
will appear in the Normal school au-
ditorium in the third number of the
artists course next Monday evening.
While only nineteen years OF age,
Miss Jonani made her debut in Don
Pasquale" in Mondovi, Italy: She was
engaged to sing purely on the merits
of her voice and her debut was ac-
complished without fanfare or sensa-
tional heralding, yet the morning aft
er her appearance every paper was
filled with glowing accounts of the re-
markable debut OF ,>>e young Ameri-
can prima donna.
It was during her engagement In
Italy that Miss Jonani was offered a
permanent engagement in the Berlin
Royal Opera, but coincident with this
offer came one from Henry Russell OF
the Boston Opera Company. In the
autumn of 1913 Miss Jonani came to
America to sing principal lyric and
coloratura roles with the Boston COM
pany. Her greatest success was &C
hieved in the Barber of Seville"
Before the 1894 season closed,
Miss JONAH was engaged for the Chi
cago-Philadelphia Opera Company as
one of the principal sopranos, with
which organization she is singing prin-
cipal roles. Miss Jonani's voice is a
pure lyric soprano Of beautiful quality,
tinged at times with almost dramatic
color. H,
Only limited number of concert
engagements are available on account
of Miss .Jonani's appearances in opera
She will be one of the strongest num-
bers on this years course.

SOMETHING ENTIRELY
new and UNIQUE
FOR The LADIES

Perhaps the most unique and at
tractive method of conducting special
bargain sales yet inaugurated is being
tried out by the Chaffee Dry Goods
Store. The plan is very simple and
offers special bargains in seasonable
goods every day in the year, but no
coming announcement is made, on the
contrary announcement is made
through the local press after the sale
is past and another one is on. TO H.
lustrate, Monday high grade shirt
waists costing up to $3.50 were sold at
95 cents and many other articles were
put on sale at the same rate of dis
count and so on from day to day spec,
ial bargains are offered in seasona BILE
goods with the hope expressed" that
the buying public will become interest
ed to the extent of visiting the store
often, not alone to take advantage
of the bargains that will mean a say
ing of one third on the buying but that
they may also take time to inspect
the great stock of goods and maka
that store their shopping headquar-
ters. This plan is being tried out a.
an experiment. and the present indica-
tions are that it will become a per
manent feature of the Chaffee store
in the future as the interest so far
shown seems to warrant that belief.

Demand the Belgians Return
to Their Homes and Re-
sumo Occupations --- May
Interfere With American
Shipment.

London, Nov. 11.-Aside from the
military aspects Of the war, Germany's
reported threat to cut off the food sup
ply which the United States is send
ing to Belgium, if the Belgians did not
return to their cities and make an ef-
fort to resume normal occupations
stood out the boldest. The Belgians
say the demand is unreasonable, as
the Germans have commandeered all
implements necessary to an industrial
revival.
Claims of the contending armies, es-
pecially regarding the situation in
West Flanders, dovetailed II so few
respects tonight as to leave but one
big fact undisputed. That was the
destruction of the German raider, En-
bdem, and the trapping of the Ger
man cruised Koenigsberg, the latter
in a palm lined East African river, un-
unusual circumstances.
British marine insurance rates were
cut in half almost instantly, for never
since the days Of the Alabama has
there been such a successful COM
merce destroyer as the Embden.
The Germans and Russians are
clashing in cavalry engagements along
the German frontiers; the Russians
are still harrassing the Austrians in
Galicia; French, British and Belgians
are uniting to hold back what still ap-
pears to be tremendous German at
tempt to break through the allied line
in the vicinity Of Ypres. Dispatches
speak Of the movement of German
troops eastward from Belgium as fore
casting necessary re-enforcements a
long the eastern frontier.
An Amsterdam dispatch says: Train
load after trainload of German artil-
lery is leaving the Lys valley in the
direction of Ghent. The German army
headquarters has been transferred to

GERMANS WIN VIC.
TORY FROM ALLIES
BESIDES TAKING DIxMUDE BY
STORM THEY CROSS YPREs
CANAL, CAPTURING LINE or
POSITIONS.

London, Nov. 12.-The. following
German official statement was wire
lessed today from Berlin:
Eve made good progress yesterday
on the User branch Of the Ypres, and
took Dixmude by storm capturing over
500 prisoners and nine machine guns.
Further south our troops crossed the
canal west of Langmar and captured
the first line of the encmy's position.
About 1000 infantry were ta:.en pr1s-
oners and six machine guns captured.
South of Ypres we have driven the
enemy from Steloi. Despite fierce
counter attacks by the British, the
dominating heights to the north Of Ar
mentieres remain in our hands,
"Our attack has made progress
southwest of Lille. The French suf-
fered heavy losses in attempting
to recapture the commanding heights
to the north of Vienna lie Chateau in
the forest of ArgOnne. Northeast
and south of Verdu, the French at
tacks everywhere were repulsed.
There is no important information
from the eastern theatre"
The Germans have resumed their at
tack on the allied line between the
coast and the river Lys. While the
French claim to have held their posi-
tions generally, the Germans succeed
ed in capturing the town of Dixmude,
which has been the center of some of
the fiercest, and most sanguinary
fighting of the campaign. The coun-
try between Dixmude and Ypres,
where the belligerents have been en-
gagged in most violent attacks and
counter attacks for weeks, and where
the losses have been heavier even
that the battle Of Ysre, again is the
scene of a battle which for fury sell
dom, if ever, has been eQualled.
