Father Hugo was 81 years old last
April He was known as a man OF
untiring energy and his great vitality
showed itself in his last illness to
such an extent that physicians who
were attending him marvelled at the
way he rallied after all hope seemed
gone. He had keen mind until the
last and only several days ago, while
/ he was apparently unconscious and
suffering great pain, he corrected a
nurse who misprOnounced a word
while she was reading to him.
The tolling Of the bell at Sacred
Heart Church publicly announced the
/ fact Of the death Of the priest Those
who had learned to love Father Hugo
recalled his last public appearance

the constant thought of his life. wheI
a mortgage OF $4,000 against tn,
church. was cancelled. To his friend,
he claimed at that time that it wa'
the happiest moment OF his life.

merce win meet with the directors
of the Mercantile Association at $50
o'clock this aftrnoon. At this meet
ing the proposed merger of the two
organizations will be considered. and
though no definite announcement has

ally expected that the merger Will be

were the principal objection in the
estimation of the Mercantile Associa-
tion. have been done away with by the
Chamber Of Commerce, and the mem
bers of the Mercantile Association can
now come in on the same basis as
the members of the Chamber of Com
Imerce and have equal rights with
them Probably but little more time
will be required before the merger is
completed.
At s o'clock this evening the
Chamber of Commerce will hold its

on the mezzanine floor for the election
, of directors by the active and associ-
ate members. Afterwards a. general

OF
The AUTOLAW
IS ATTACKED
Penalty Section Of Bill Lacked
TwO-third Vote, is AttOr-
ney'S Contention
COURT WILL HEAR
ARGUMENT ON POINT

Philip l.. Garrett counsel for Nor
man Worth a driver Of the automo-
bile of the sharpless Milk Company,
of Concordwne, Pa. and Walter
Schmidt, of Chester, Pa. charged with
violating the motor vehicle law by
not having 1914 license tags on their
automobiles, raised a legal point in
City Court this morning, that may re-
suit in the section Of the law pro-
viding for a penalty for its violation
being declared void
Should this be done Il would leave
the State without any effective law
concerning automobiles until another
law could be enacted by the Legis-
lature as stripped of It's section pro-
viding penalties the present motor
vehicle law would be worthless and
no offender under II could be pun
ished. After hearing Mr.. CARROTS
argument Judge Churchman contin-
ued the case for one week to allow
counsel on both sides to submit
briefs. If the section of the law is
declared void it would become nee
essary for every city and town IN the
State to pass its own ordinances con-
cerning automobiles until the Legis-
lature acts. In the meantime the
counties would not have an automo-
bile law.
The point raised by Mr.. Garrett was
thar Section ~ of the motor vehicle law
OF the state is void because il was not
passed by a tvo-thirds vote of the Sen.
ate. which he contends was required.
Article ., Section 30, OF the Constitu
tion. Mr.. Garrett argued. provides that
the general Assembly may give TO any
inferior court authority TO try certain
specified misdemcanors and All othe
nusauces and misdemeanors as th'

PRESlDlO, Tex, Jan. s.--AlthougH
there was considerable uncasinesi
among members of the Mexican rebel
iunta here as to the whereabouts OF
General pancho Villa, it was believed
today there was no foundation in III.
mors that he had been captured BY,
Federals.
villa left Chihuahua City last week
with ! 500 men and should have reached
la Mula Pass. south OF Oiinaga Sunday
night. The opinion is expressed by mili-
tary men that The rebel chcftain may
have encountered Federal force Of four
thousand under General Benjamin Ar
gumedo, advancing to raise the rebel
siege of Oiinaga. II 80. il is probable
battle has been fought south Of La
Alula Pass. Argumedo's troops are re-
ported to outnumber Villas forces
greatly.
The Federals at Ojinaga, encouraged
by recent successes, arc assuming tho
aggressive. One thousand troops, led
by General Pascual Orozco, left Ojinaga
last night. taking the Chihuahua road
towards La Mula Pass. IL is believed
they went out to engage Villas forces
below the pass, or TO effect a junction
with Argumodo
II IL be true that Argimedo has at.
tackled villa, II is probable Orozco's
force has joined the attack. Orozco
took wagon train heavily laden with
foodstutis sufficient for a campaign Of
considerable length.
There has been no fighting in the i'm
mediate vicinity OF Ojinaga since Mon
day afternoon. when the rebels were
compelled by lack Of ammunition tC
abandon their advanced positions ant
retire five miles from the Federal forti
fications. No move was made during
the night to attack the city. This caus
ed General Salazar to believe reports
that 1000 rebels under General Mac
loyies Herrera had reinforced Ortega
were exaggerated. IL is now believed
only part of Herreras force has ar
rived.
