answering the description had been Of
fered for sale at a garage in that town.
He was ordered to detain the occu-
pants, who later proved to be Ray
Meyer, twenty-three years old, of l435
Westchester av.. The Bronx; Harry
Meade, twenty-six years old, of the
same address; Robert G. Leman, twen-
ty-fve years old, of 10 Clinton ST.,
Charlestown, Mass: William ]. King,
twenty-five years old, of 244 West 4Sd
ST.. and Arthur L. Demar, twenty-five
yeals old, of "a West 89th st. Inc
prisoners were brought back to this
city in the touring car, which they sub
seduently stated they had stolen from
the garage of Charles K. Hedden,
resident of Florham Park, n. j., on the
night of November 29. They were
locked uu, charged with grand larceny.
The M, At remarkable feature OF the
arrest lies in the fact that the machine,
which Is an rs. G. w." valued at SI,OO0,
bore New York license tag, No. 25,9io.
The prisoners told the police that the
tag was a stolen one, and later the
police stated that the number in ques-
ton was for another car, and had been
issued to Spadaccini Brothers, con-
tractors. of 463 East 189th st. When
this firm was reached by telephone the
senior partner denied any knowledge OF
such a number. He stated that the hrm
owned only two cars. The respective
numbers of the two cars, he SAID, are
%. .O29 and F-317. He said that he had
never seen license tag with the num-
Der 25,918, and that neither OF the tags
is missing from the two machines
owned by his concern.
The captured car resembles the ma
chine which, according to witnesses,
was used by the Baff murderers.
Seek Trace of Revolver.
Inspector Faurot last night stated
that every effort is being made to trace
the revolver discarded after the crime
by one of the murderers.
Both the police and the District At
torney's Office yesterday united in as
gerting that there exists no association
between the Baff mystery and the slay-
ing of Little Patsy" Doyle in a saloon
at $40 Eighth av. last Saturday night.
"Doyle was killed in a row over a
woman" said one police official last
night. "He had incurred the enmity
of certain gangster. That is all there
is to the case. l only wish that the
Baff shooting was as easily solved"
Ten prisoners arrested after the
DOYLE shooting were arraigned before
Coroner Feinberg late yesterday even
ing. Two of them, Owen Madden, alias
English" and Martin v. Ellis, twenty
three years old, of 502 West seth St,
were held on a charge Of homicide and
remanded to the Tombs without bail
pending further examination.
Mary ODonnell and Victor Pinto,
held on Monday as material witnesses,
were unable to identify the men who
did the shooting from lineup yester-
day afternoon of the ten prisoners.

Battles in Tenement Homes
WHEN THE FATHER is DEAD.

In those families in which the premature
death of the husband has left the mother face
to face with the problem of providing the neces-
saries of life for herself and her children it is
the aim of this Association to insure definite
weekly income until the home is again self
supporting.
Mrs - and her four children lived with
her husbands parents during her first year of
widowhood.
When the relatives moved to distant city
she began her single-handed struggle to provide
for her family.
Although delicate OF health, she did Office
cleaning and crocheting at home.
She worked very hard, but could not meet the
needs of the boys and girls.
Her pastor discovered her need and asked
US to come to her rescue.
We found Mrs. haunted by the fear of
having to place some of her delicate children in
institutions.
We decided that to safeguard the health of
all the mother must be taken from her exhaust
ing work and kept at home, where she could
give careful attention to the boys and girls
Mrs. - is now receiving pension.
At first So week was given, but later this
was increased to Sll.50, so that the family
might move into more sanitary rooms.
Last summer two of the children were sent
to the country where each gained ten pounds.
The children are now all in good health and
are making excellent progress in school,
Friendly visitor, nurse and dietitian are work
ing hand in hand with families like this one to
raise life to its highest value.
When people realize the need and value of
such service they will cease making invdous
comparison between money spent in salary for
persons who can successfully perform such
service and that spent for actual material re-
lief.
The conditions which brought this family
under the care of the Association are generally
typical.
The methods of meeting them are the same
as those the Association wants to use for 4o8
other families where death has removed the hus-
band and father.
Our strongest desire is to insure the proper
care and upbringing Of every one of these fami-
lies, to know intimately each home, each mother,
each child; to provide, in cooperation, when
possible, with other agencies, churches and
relatives in adequate amount the necessary in
come, and to accompany that income with the
personal service of friendly counsel, suggestion
and instruction; TO make the homes of these
children real homes; and with good care good
food, good environment and good training to
give to each of them full and fair opportunity
TO grow into the things by which men live
work, worship, love and play"
During the fiscal year ending October
1914, we spent for widows and their children

VILLA GRANTS TRUCE, LATEST
 BORDER RUMOR
Federal and Rebel Com
 manders Said to Be Ne
 gotiating Capitalization CARRANzA HAS NO NEWS OF SURRENDER

Eagle Pass, Texas, April 1.Res- patches from the American consul at Durango forwarded to Washington via this city are reported today to an nounce that the federal commander at Torreon has offered to surrender to General Villa, that truce has been granted and that the federal and con stftutionalist commanders have met and are today arranging the terms of the equalization
 According to Information from au- thentIc sources. Villa had taken the railroad station in Torreon and fo- the past two days has been working his way from house to house toward the center of the city. He is said to have nearly half the townlbut the assaults resulted in an appalling loss of life on both sides.
 Last night. General VeIasco hoisted "a white flag, it is said, and asked for three hours, truce to present prop osition for surrender. The truce was granted, it is undestood, and the fed eraI commanders offered to turn over the city with all military stores if the lives of all officers and men were guaranteed.
 It is also understood that Villa at first demurred, saying that many of the garrison, including General Oroz- co, who is said to be in Torreon, were traitors and must be executed It is
 
 for today, however, when Villa. would probably accept the offer of the fed- eraI commander.
 Juarez April 1.-There was no delft mite news this morning regarding General. Villas position in his attack on Torreon. Reports received by General Carranza last night indicated that fighting still was in progress.
 carranza today seemed confident that his military chieftain would con quer the federals under General Vel asco The report that heavy rein forcements for the feIeraI leader were approaching Torreon did not shake his confidence.
 Both armies are said to be so ex- hausted by continued fighting that the present Ection< lacks the virilfty of the rebel e.sse-slest Of Gomez Pala- cio.
 The new column reported marching to the relief Of Velasco was said to be under the command of General Joachim Haas and to number 4.500 men. To meet him, it was reported General Monclovio Herrera was de- tailed by Villa. An engagement be- l tween these forces was expected hourly.
