villa a Negro Is Claim

Baltimore, Md, May 1.-THE Rev
Alfred Young, negro pastor of the
Whatcoat Methodist Episcopal church
says General Pancho Villa is his
brother. His right name, he says, is
Spencer Young, that he was born on
a farm near Cambridge, Md; that
his father was slave; that his grand
father was a white man, and that
from pictures he has seen of Villa
there can be no doubt abvut the rela-
tionship. The Rev. Young says his
brother was fanatic on military af-
fairs, predicted a great career for
himself, and enlisted in the United
States cavalry. The minister CORES
ponded with his brother until the
death of their mother here, and only
today he wrote another letter to the
arch enemy of Huerta.

Bender spurns the services of a
physician when he is sick, takes no
medicine, but simply HES himself
away and doesn't come back until he
is well again.
A short time after Bender joined
the Athletics, he was taken i'll. Con-

IN THE RING

X
New York, May manager Billy
Gibson of the Stadium A. C. has re-
ceived cable from London notify
ing him that the proposed match
between Bombardier Wells and JIM
my Coffey is off. This will probably
cause some change in his pla . which
included European trip VITA Coffey.
Gibson says he will deci ; within a
week just what alterations he will
make in his program. Gibson also
received letter from Packey Nc
Farland in which the latter stated
he would arrange to come TO New
York and make one or two matches
to take place at the Stadium club.
Gibson states the first opponent to
Mcfarland will be Mike Gibbons if the
latter will agree to box Packey, but
if Gibson will not co isent AL Nc
Coy has already expire ssed willing
ness to try conclusions with the
Chicago man. A wire was also re-
ceived from Billy Murray of San
Francisco, who agreed to tha prop
osition Gibson made to hi to box
Mccoy here on May 81 for ten
round bout for the middleweight
championship. Manager Gibson has
been in communication with Frank
Klaus of Pittsburgh who will likely
wend his way to New York and ar
range a match with some of the rid
dleweights.
Eddie Campi, the bantamwe'gnt
champion of the Pacific Coast. vii!
make his first appearance tonight at
the Stadium A. C. in the main event
scheduled for ten rounds with Young
Fox Of England. The bous will have
an international aspect as Fox claims
the weight title Of England and al
though Campi has not yet reached
the championship ranks he is being
groomed along these lines. During the
past year Campi has bo led in six
2O-round bouts, and although he has
managed to show to advantage he
prefers the shorter route. In Fox
the Westerner is meeting worthy
foe. The Briton has dem ,nstrated
ON previous occasions that he ranks
among the best boys of the weight,
being clever and shifty boxer as
well as a hard hitter.
CoIored boxers and the.f managers,
having found rather lign. picking ir
ring matters here since the ban was
put on "mixed" bouts in New York,
have been fretting until they have
now reached the point of iIdigna-
ton over what they say is an injus-
tice and a discrimination against
negroes. With this view as /. basis
a meeting was held yesterday in idar-

Frank Menke's
Sporting Letter

New York, April 3o.--Twenty-fvc
cent baseball seems to be disappear
ing from the major league parks. Just
now it is case of ssif you haven't
got four bits you needn't come
around
Until a few years ago when most
Of the club owners in the American
and National Leagues began con-
structing new stands, there were
many 25-cent seats. But since then
they have been growing scarcer and
scarcer. The old bleacher area IN
most Of the parks has been cut into
three parts, the two parts nearest the
home plate selling at SO cents, and
only the little stretch that is farth-
est away from the plate being allotted
to the 25 cent fans.
The rules Of the big leagues provide
for 25 cent seats, but they do not
specify the number. Because of that
little error that would have protected
the 25-cent fans the magnates
have reduced the bleacher seats from
numbers far into the thousands to
numbers in the hundreds.

SEEK TO KEEP SHIP LINES

WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 1S.- The Interstate Commerce Commission today began hearings on the applica tion of the Pennsylvania Railroad for permission to retain it's steamship lines after July 1, the date upon which the Panama Canal law decrees all rail lines shall dis-associate them- selves from competitive water lines. The application Is made under a pro vision of the law which empowers the Interstate Commerce Commission, in its discretion. to permit the railroads to retain such ownership if such a condition is for the best interests of the territory the rail-and-water lines serve The Pennsylvania owns the Anchor line on the Great Lakes. The
 thigh Valley and a number Of
 railroads also own steamship lines and practically all of them have made application for permission to retain such ownership. Hearings on these applications will be conducted by the Commission at various points during the next few months.

BLACK HAND LETTERS ARE RECEIVED IN THE
 RECLAMATION OFFICE
President Orme and Chief M aintenance Engineer McDermott Threatened
 in Bold Missiles Sent Them
Especial to the iReview)

PHOENIX, Feb. 1S.--'La Mana Ne. ra.' accompanied by 8 crudely drawn dagger, made it's appearance in the office or the Water Isers Association this morning in two letters. one to President John Orme of the associa- tion and one Co Engineer of main tenance and operation. McDermot.
 The letters game in the regular days mail to the office of the secre- tary. That official opened them in turn. He was rather shocked at the con tents. Both letters were, apparently, from the same party. They were crudely put together and mailed from the Phoenix post office. Both were written on plain paper and with ink.
 The only clue to the perpetrator of the letters is reference made in enc of them to F. C. Brown of Scotts- dale who holds minor position in the reclamation service.
 The lives of both men were threat ened unless the farmers of the pro feet received better treatment at the hands of the water users association Both the letters and the envelopes were turned over to the local offi cials who are making a rigid inves tigation into the threatened Black Hand operations.

For the purpose of interesting the school board of Bisbee in a projecting lens, w. T. Jane, representing Bausch and Lomb, was a visitor in Bisbeo yesterday.
 The local school authorities have, for some time past, been interested in the new system of educating with the aid of the projecting lantern and picture machine This system is in vogue in practically. all of the up-to date educational institutions in tho United States and has been, uniyer' sally, indorsed by educators. The purpose of the lantern is to show the pupils slides containing in formation of various kinds. In many schools. both high schools and grade institutions physiology, bctary, biol ogy. geography and ether subjects are taught in this manner.
 Jane declares that the Lew Blsbee High school, now under construction would do well to make use of tn, new system.

That Called in Will Be Re- placed With New Issue;
 Big Change for the Better

B. s. Pelzer. Cananea banker and broker, was a visitor in the city Sun. day, en route 10 Fl Paso. MT. Pelzer said while here that he had recently returned from Hermosilla, where he went with reference to a considerable sum of new Constitutionalist curren- cy which he had been asked to sur render to the state until it's auth5ri- ties would make an inspection of signatures, in the hope of determining facts concerning the identity of the forger. Mir. Peizer was assured that the issue of verified money to the amount which he surrendered. would be made to him, aud that like course would be follfwed in dealing with others who have been asked to sur render currency. This assurance was coupled with expressions of the best of good will toward foreigners and the purpose of Constltutionalist off cials to do all in their power to facili- tate and further ,bqsmess
 There is no doubt said Mir. Pel. ger, but that the Constimuonalists are very sincere in their program and l believe it is one that they will successfully carry out. I am not alone in this belief by any manner oi means. In Hermosillo while l was there. there were at least thirty other foreigners, mostly Americans, who were looking after agricultural lands and mining Opportunities.
