Aqua Prieta, Sonora. Mexico. April
1.-Orders prohibiting further circula-
ton Of the so-called villa currency
were received here from Serapio
Aurirre. secretary Of the treasury OF
the Carranza cabinet, who Instructed
constitutionalist officials In Aqua
Prieta to transmit them to all insur-
gent officials in Sonora.
The principal reason for the orders
was said to be the issuance by counter
feiters Of bogus villa" bills amount
ing TO 100000 pesos. Altho without
official advices Sonora people are be-
ing assured that the villa" currency
now in their hands will be redeemed
by a new constitutionalist issue which
will be shipped from New York within
two weeks.
Altho the buying power of the pres
ent issue is said to be az great as ever
in insurgent territory. It has depre-
ciated along the border. bringing only
Z to ~ cents on the peso. 1t is be-
lieved that this may be another reason
for prohibiting its further circulation.

Clark, for nearly twenty-five years q
member OF the house, made the speech
Of his life to forstall what he termed
'unquestionable degradation" Of the
nation. In this he failed. but he did
smooth over the party breach with
kindly words for his adversaries, praise
for president Wilson and an unqualified
denial Of any vaulting ambition on his
own behalf. When he had closed the
debate for the opposition to the repeal
with an impassioned argument In which
he often departed from his prepared
speech, the Speaker was triumphant

morning when President Willard pre-
sented statement OF the roads earn
inEs and expenses Of the seven months
from July to Jan. 81.
In this statement he claimed the rail-
road earnings had fallen off $4,000, 900:
their maintenance accounts increased
81, 100000. and their operating income
decreased $4,000, coo. He followed 1t
up with charge that the statements
filed with the commission two weeks
ago by Mr.. Thorne were inaccurate in
many respects.
Thorno Immediately challenged him
to cite single inaccuracy In his testi-
mony. Mr. Willard declined the chal-
lense. Later in the day Thorne won
from Mr.. Willard an admission that in
presenting his case he had studied only
the years 1919 and 1910 and that he did
not know Of the revenues. expenses.
ETC.. ok the railroads for either 1909 or
1911. Thorns read them into the record
1913 was 4 better year
for the roads than any pr5vfong year
except 1910.
Attaoks Nyiilard's Figures.
Mr.. Thorne also declared to the COM
mission In answer to, the statement OF
Mr.. Willard that instead of showing
decline OF $51.00O.000 In operating
revenue in the seven months referred
to proper methods Of bookkeeping
would show decline Of only $21.00O.-
900, or per cent, ms against 81 per
cent He said this did not indicate
crisis in the railroad business. as In
1908 there was decline OF Is per cent
and in 1911 decline OF II per cent and
in neither year was there a crisis.
There Ia an ebb and flow in the
railroad business. Just as In any other,
Thorne said, "and II the railroads got
an increase every time there Is an eb0
and the shippers decrease In rates
every time there Is a flow. we should
have a most unsatisfactory system OF
rates; far more unsatisfactory than
now."
Starved Maintspanos Allowance.
When Mr.. Brandeis questioned Pres
;dent Willard, he brought out the ad-
mission that the railroads, prior to
1910, had starved their maintenance a.
| lowance and that the allowances since
then. which show tremendous gains
are really not fair criterions by which
| to Judge actual conditions.
Mr., Willard said he would nave 70
know the inside policy OF any ROAD pe-
fore he would attempt to reach any
conclusions on it's maintenance eN

Mrs. Frank E. Wolfe, now at the

woman wearing star No. 2S1, has
looked over the police systems of all
the large cities in the United States
and gives the above rules for getting
better police service.
She was asked, ''Do you believe it's
a good thing for the policewomen to
learn to shoot?"
Sure" was the answer. Every
woman ought to learn to shoot. But
the policewomen ought not to carry
guns except in certain districts. A re-
volver is a clumsy, useless article for
a woman to conceal about her
clothes. Except for night work in a
few districts, they are not needed.
feel sorry for the ladies who will be
compelled to carry big 3S-caliber
gun as Chicago officers.
What have l found that looks
good in bstterment of police service?
Well, one of the first things that
comes to my mind is the way the
New York department handles
DRINKS.
ga policeman's efficiency record
goes down and promotion is slower
for him if he is always bringing in
DRINKS.
"It is counted against his inteIi-
gence if he spends his time dragging
in fellows he has picked up helpless
on the street.
This has gone so far that a po-
iceman sometimes carries drunken
