Marysville. = While Lamar Smith
of Findlay was driving home in
an automobile from Columbus at night
three negroes made an attempt to
hold him up and rob him on the Plain
City pike, three miles south of Marys-
vile. The negroes, who emerged from
woods, waved their hands, making
Smith believe something was wrong
with the pike. He slowed his machine
and one of the negroes attempted to
climb into it. He demanded that Smith
turn over his money. Smith drew re-
volver- and the negroes fed.

BURTON TO QUIT OFFICE
Ohoan Decides to Remove Himself
From Public Life.

Washington, April 7.-Theodore Z.
Burton. after almost a quarter of a
century of service in congress, made a
statement which is interpreted as an
announcement of his withdrawal from
the contest for reelection in Ohio.
The Republican veteran gives as the
reason of his willingness to retire a
desire to further reuniting of his party
in Ohio. Apparently Mr.. Burton thinks
that his candidacy for another term
would be an obstacle to the smoothin-
Of differences among Ohio Republi-
cans and would result in defeat.

war horse, already is in the field at

the protection of the men. women and

Spain has no consular representa-

United States has undertaken to al
ford all foreigners the same protection
as it gives its own citizens.
An explanation of the insistanCe of
the Huerta government that the con.
test at Torreon is not yet at an end
was received here in dispatch from
Admiral Fletcher. It is indicated that
another conflict is impending which
it will be necessary for Villa to win
to retain possession of Torreon.
According to Admiral Fletcher's re
port the federals placed 5000 fresh
troops within striking distance of Tor

preached from the east and are ex-
pected to effect a junction with those

All Standards Are Exnelled-

Juarez. Mex. April T-Northern and
central Mexico, it is said, are being
thoroughly cleared of Spanish resi-
dents by the Constitutionalists.
The explosions are being made
under section 80 OF the Mexican con
stitution, which permits "pprnicious
foreigners" to be deported from the
country. HUcrta has been using this
section to rid himself Of troublesome
newspaper men and others, so the
rebels have decided to use it for the
expulsion of the Spaniards.
There is an ancient hatred on the
part of all MeXicans for Spaniards,
particularly because in many business
transactions the shreWdness of the
Spaniard has largely benefited him
over his Mexican opponent. Most Of
the storekeepers and many hacienda
owners are Spaniards.
Each time a band of Spaniards is
expelled it is announced that when
they prove their innocence they may
return, but with. their cases resting
in the hands of those who expelled
them the SDaniards realize the slim
chance they have for redress.
Announcement was made in Juarez
that Andres Farias has been named
mayor of TOrreon. At Carranzas
headquarters it was Yehemently as
serted that this appointment was made
by Villa after a telegraphic CORE
spondence with Carranza
It is asserted that Carranza is pre-
pairing to leave tomorrow for Chihua-
hua and that Villa will return from
Torreon to meet him there. A joint
reception to the two is being planned
at Chihuahua.

much as most of the federal army es-
capped. to fight again. Villa failed TO
take more than a few federal pris-
oners.
The killed and wounded in the army
of defenders is about all the loss that
Huerta sustained except in ammuni
ton. General Velasco when he re
treated succeeded in getting away
with most of his command and Villa 5
forces have not Overtaken him.
That Villa has given up the chase
in person is made certain by the tele-
gram received by Carranza from him.
That General Rosalia Hernandez has
been CHECKED in his pursuit at San
Pedro is reported. During the battle

sumably that of General Maure

pushed on toward Saltillo with his

Hernandez had been checked at San

abandon temporarily his attack upon
