MAJORITY OF EGGS
HURT BY WEATHER
MORE THAN FIFTY PER CENT OF
THEM ARE oEcAYED AND
Rotten.

In the course OF conversation this
morning one of the leading produce
men OF the city stated that he had
never seen as many, bad eggs come
to the market. He said that in We'd
nesday's receipts, the large majority
OF them were bad. Onecase contain
ing thirty dozen had only two dozen
and ten good eggs. Another case
which had one hundred seventy-five
dozen in it, had eighty-seven dozen
that were decayed, while third con-
signment of three hundred ninety
dozen had only eighty-eight dozen of
good eggs in 1t.
He attributed the percentage of
bad eggs to the hot weather and the
fertility of the eggs. Hal the hens
been kept from the roosters, and the |
eggs not rendered fertile by them. |
The percentage would not have been
80 large. He said that in view OF the
arge number that were decayed. the
iealers would lose money on them
had they paid only FIVE cents per doz.
IN for them. /

night.
Carranza's offices at Jaurez were
confscated by Villa supporters.
Similar confiscations are authenti
cally reported to have taken place a,
chihuahua City and at Torreon
where Villa remained today.
The seizure of the offices In Jaurez
last night was taken here as conclu,

split between Carranza, leader Of the
constitutionalist revolution, and villa,
his most successful chieftain..
Private advices received here at a
late hour told of similar action in TAX
ing over Carranza Offices at Chihua-
hua City and Torreon, evidently pIac-
ing the entire northern part Of Mexi-
co in the power Of Villas military
leaders.

reau and telegraph, it later, was learn.
ed that the custom house and the
treasury department at Jaurez had
been confiscated by Villas officers.

ty agent, was reported as Jailed, and
1t was made known that nearly all of
the employees Of Alberto PAM had
been arrested. Pant has been In
charge of the treasury department at
Jaurez and has been the trusted relay
man in recent exchanges between
Carranza, from Saltillo and Rafael
Zuzaran at Washington, who in turn
transferred the messages to the me-
diators at Niagara Falls. Manuel Bo-
nilla, Villas confidential agent at
Jaurez. said that he had been ordered
to hasten to Torreon to confer with
his chief.
Gen. Villa rendered his resignation
to Gen. Carranza within the last week
it became known last night.
To Villas message the constitu-
tionalists considered who would sue
coed him.
Following this, Villas various mill
tary chiefs held conference and |
sent round robin" to Carranza, de-
claring they would accept none other |
than Villa as leader. The split OF |
today resulted.
