VILLAS ARMY
CONTINUED from Page One)

Great clouds of fine desert dust marked
their progress over hummocks of cacti-
crowned sand and through dry water
courses. Great tank wagons, laden with
the water supply which has been Villas
greatest problem. rumbled in the trail,
the wheels at times almost hub-deep in
the sand.
The lips of the few foreigners in the
army were cracked and swollen from the
heat and alkali dust, but the Mexicans
trained to such conditions covered their
mouths with folds of their blankets and
Jared better. All eyes were bloodshot.
In this way amid the suffering which the
harshest waste of arid land Mexico can
furnish, the outskirts of Torreon were
reached. There was no opposition and
Gen. Villa stated there had been none
since he had begun to repair the railroad
south of Jiminez. The Federals content
ed themselves with strewing all posi-
BILE obstruction, except bullets, in his
way. There were occasional exchanges
of shots between outposts but nothing
that assumed even the dignity of a Skin
mish.

General Villa was everywhere, for now
that the eve of battle Is at hand he is O

of refractory mule, now criticizing the
lashings of a pack saddle or swapping
orders at a lesser leader.

1t is no figure of speech to say the
light of battle burned in the rebel
leaders eyes. They are extraordina-
rily wide set so that when he looks
at a visitor at close range they seem
almost to cross, and their dark depths
always glowing seem actually to
flame in moments of excitement. His
subordinates rarely ever argue with
him, and in such moments never. 1t
is a danger signal-one which the
Scotckman Benton is said to have fall
ed to heed.
General Felipe Angeles, chief of the
artillery corps, was named second in
command to take full charge in the
event of the death or Interpretation
of Villa. Angeles is a member of Gen.
Carranza's cabinet and was detached
at Villas urgent solicitation, to par
ticipate in the battle. He is a veteran
expert of the big gun arm of the SER
vice
General Aguierre Benavides was
placed in command of the disposition
of troops, although Angeles himself
selected the position for his guns.
They were trained on the hill tops
while the soldiers busted themselves
throwing up banks of sand around
them and digging caves in which to
store ammunition.
Villa has food for a month, 2ooc
cartridges to the man and his rail-
road service, unless cut, can main
tain the water supply indefinitely.
1t is believed here that the Federals
are now completely cut off from the
outside world even by wire, although
the wireless stations may permit them
to communicate with the national cap
ital. 700 miles to the south.

AUTO DAMAGED
AS It CRASHES
ON SIDEWALK

Pedestrians, horses and automo-

of slippery ice until late in the day,

both rear wheels crushed off against
the curb in front of Spitzer's cafe
at State and Smith streets, shortly
after o'clock this morning. The
machine WAS turning the corner from
New Brunswick avenue into Smith
street. AS the front wheels took the
curve, the rear wheels skidded to the
right, smashing them against the
curb, and settling the body of the
car fiat in front of the cafe door.
New wheels were put on, and the car
removed about $3.50 O'Clock. The
damage was estimated at SIG.
A horse hitched to a Standard oil
wagon slipped in Smith street, and
ran several blocks before 1t was
caught. A horse owned by farmer
coming to the public market slipped
on the Central railroad crossing in
Smith street, but was aided to It's
feet before any train approached. A
number of citizens had falls and
sustained minor bruises.
In order to prevent accidents as
far as possible, Chairman John j.
Clark, of the committee on streets
and sewers of the Board of Alder
men, issued orders at an early hour
this morning to sprinkle crosswalks
along the principal streets with sand
or some similar material. The en-
ire section of pavement at the inter-
section OF Smith and State streets
was covered with a thin layer Of sand
soon after the auto accident there
this morning.

Several Of the members were In
Se~or of continuing Mr. Boehm in the

Gallagher, however, promised the

It was considered that he is en-

RECE|VETW0b|OS
FOR BOND ISSUE
OF WATER BOARD.

There were only two bids received
by City Treasurer Charles K. Sea-
man yesterday afternoon for $780,
September l, and bearing four and
one-half per cent interest. A. B..
Leach and Company and John D. Ev-
eritt and Company, who submitted q
joint bid Of $101,310, were awarded
the bonds, subject to the approval
of the Board of Water Commission
ers at their meeting tonight. The
only other bid submitted for the is
sue was that of Clark, Dodge and
Company, also of New York, their
estimate being SOL, ,070.
In the opinion of the city treas
urer, because he was able to dispose
of four and one-half per cent. bonds
to the amount of 100000 yesterday
is no reason that he can do the same
thing with other bonds If the city
decides to issue any in the near fu-
ture Mr.. Seaman pointed out that
there were only two bids received for
the bonds yesterday, which showed
that there is not yet an appreciable
demand for municipal bonds. This
city now requires little breathing
spell before it adds to the immense
amount of bonds it has been putting
out" said the official. In his opin-
ion Perth Amboy Is already almost
staggering under enormous bond is
