POLITICAL CLUBS
NEED WOMEN-MARKS
Borough President Says Then
They'd BE More Alive
and Interesting.

Borough President Marks Of Mdnhat-
tan told the Womens Republican club
at their luncheon at Delmonico's yestcr-
day that every political club in New York
would be- more alive and interesting II
II had women members.
The city club is even now consider
ing building a new clubhouse and ad
hitting women az comemhcrs, whereby
not only the membership but ,ts popu-
larity would be greatly Increased" he
said.
The Borough Presidents declaration
was evoked by the remark Of President
~. Van Nechten Olcott OF the Mems Re
publican Club that he used to think n
club WAS Il place where the women ceased
from troubling and the weary We're "a,
rest but now he thought Il very pleasant
to have them admitted once IA year.
Mr.. Marks added that n club would be
real meeting place and not a mere
louging place for n few members after

II they were Fcdcrals the execution story
seems possible. If they were rebels they
are now back with their garrison In
Jgarez.
When villa was apprised of the plot
last night while lac sat In game In a
Juagez gambling house he did not show
unusual concern, He quietly gave orders
to send 400 men to guard the river bank
opposite Yslota. Whether or not this de-
tachment captured or executed any of the
would-be invaders has not been definitely
ascertainod.
John Rodriguez, Jose Eberrari and
Santos Martin, arrested by United States
soldiers at Ysleta. are being held pending
/ further Investigation. A. the time of the
capture OF the three 225 horses were
taken in charge by the soldiers. The
, horses were in corral AT Ysleta. which
| Is On the border twelve miles east Of III
Paso. Rodriguez told Lieut.. l.. a. Lob
| mun o: the Thirteenth Cavalry he was
| acting u-der orders Of the Mexican con-
sua.t In FL Paso in caring for the horses.
The horses. he declared. were not to be
turned over to any one except on the
orders of the Mexican consulate. Mexican
Consul Diebod denies connection with the
AFFAIR and intimates that II was a rebel
raid Of the horses.
Or reports received from Yseta that
an armed force was about TO cross into
Mexico from the American side Brig. Gen.
| Hugh l.. Scott sent three troops Of cavalry
| to Yslcta late last night AS a result the
| horses and several hundred saddles were
| surrendered and the three caretakers ar
rested
| The men captured when the horses wer.
| seized declared that twenty-sev.n horses
! had been taken out Of the corral and
| taken to Mexico before the soldiers ar
| rived.
Pancho villa said Tonight in Juare7
! that he was holding ten men prisoners In

SAYS 258 CROSSED BORDER.
Rebel Cattle Agent Insists Fugitives
We're Federal Recruits.

Ii PAso. Feb l2.-Supposedly bent
upon getting south of Juarez and cutting
tho railroad to prevent Pancho villa re-
turning to chihuahua and TO eliminate
his base of supplies 25S Of the band of
alleged Federal recruits who tried to
escape across the river at Nsleta last night
were successful in their attempt, accord
ing to j, Todd McCiamy, n rebel cattle
agent here.
Mcclamy said to-day that he received
the first information three days ago that
crossings We're to be made at fsleta, at
the III Paso Smelter and Mt "A point In
New Mexico. The Ysleta contingent, he
said. was recruited and led by Sylvestro
and Rodrigo Qucvedo. two Federal officers
formerly at the head of troops at casas
Grandes. McClamy declares he notified
Villa of the plot, and that villa told
him he had troops down the river waiting
to receive intruders.
1t was rumored tonight in II Paso
that twenty -nine OF the Federals We're
captured and executed by COnstitu-
tionalists on the Mexican side, opposite
Nsleta, after they had crossed from Ameri-
can soil. Rebel military authorities in
Juarez, including Gen, Villas private sec
rotary, deny this. The rebels are not
anxious these days to admit executions.
since they received word from Washing
ton that they were being watched and
that their future chances of recognition
would depend upon the manner in which
they conducted their warfare,
There Is much mystery about the raid,
The horses which United States troops
captured at Ysleta early this morning In
possession of three MeXicans are known
to be animals used by the Mexican Fed
eral army at Ojinaga, which were
later sold at Marta to AN Oklahoma mo-
ton picture concern. While one of the
men In charge of the horses said he
was in the employ of the local Mexican
Consul. there are others who believe that
the proposed raid was being conducted by
pancho Villas men in order to re-
cru.t cavalry mounts for the rebel army.
and that the supposed activity OF the rebel
troops was merely to blind the United
States troops after the move was dis
covered. New saddles sent to the scene
this week were also captured
There is no doubt that n number OF
MeNicans were transported from El PasO
last night in automobiles prior TO the ac-
tNlty OF the United States and rebel
troops, and that tho Mexicans were taken
10 the vicinity Of Hslcta. That they
disappeared and were not found by the

CASTILLO'S DEATH DOUBTED.
Washington Has No Con hrmat ton 81
Bandits Execution.

WASHINGTON. Feb l2.--No confirmation
OF reports that Castillo. the Mexican
bandit. has been captured and executed
by soldiers under command OF Gen. villa
has been received at either the state or
War Department.
In many quarters here the reports OF
the capture of Castillo and six of his
men are not credited. There II a suspicion
that the reports OF this alleged event were
put forth from the COnstitutionalst
headquarters on the border for the pur-
pose of convincing the Wilson Administra-
ton and general public in the United
States OF Villas eminent fitness for
governmental power and his desire 20
obey every wish Of the United States.
He had been asked by Secretary Bryan
to do his utmost to capture and punish
hose responsible for the killing OF fourteen
Americans In the Cumbre tunnel disaster
and the blame for this put upon Castillo
and his followers.

 Merchants Aid Toward Illuminating,
 Dec. 16-26.

As 9 result of two hours canvass of the Main Street business men Friday afternoon. John F. Carr and John E. Brick, two of the progressive mer- chants of the city, stated that suffi- cient funds had been guaranteed for the illumination of Main street dur ing the Christmas shopping season. Not all of the merchants on the street have been seen, but the result is as, sured from the brief, but spirited can- Vass made by the two merchants ntned
 It is planned to Illuminate the street by means of streamers similar to those used by the Elks at their opening. night last spring. These lights will be Eung from Lincoln square to the City Grocery store on the corner of Walnut street, beginning with the Wednesday of the week before Christmas, Decem- Der 16th and extending until December 26th, Saturday, or later if desired. It is understood that the electric light company, who will furnish the lights. will be extremely generous in the mat ter of rates.
 The scheme is another example of the fact thaat the business men of the city join, as a rule, in anything which will help them, and aid in marking Willimantic as a progressive and up-to-date city.

IMPROVED coNpITloNs.
Good Effect of Traffic Regulations AL
 ready Evident.

The difference in the appearance of the streets of the city since the new traffic ordinance went into effect, is very noticeable, and many remarks up- on the subject have been heard. Chief Richmond and the men on the force have come in for their share of compu- ments on the way they have handled the situation, SO that no friction has developed, as is so apt to be the cate when a new law is put into effect.
 By the orders of Chief Richmond. for several days before the ordinance went into effect, everyone who was do- ing what would be illegal on the day of the rules were enforced. was stopp- ed and told in a quiet way. that is all right today, but next week you will not be allowed to do that.'' In this manner interest in the provisions of the ordinance was stimulated, and most of those who customarily use the streets began to look up its sec |. lions. to see what they could or could not do.
 A meeting of the ordinance commit tee will be held Monday night to dis cuss the grievances of those who ap- peared before the aldermen last Tues day night.
