PICKED FOR DEATH.
Hundreds of Mexicans Are Said To Be
in Great Fear.

Vera Cruz, May 7.-Francisco Villa.
according to refugees who left the ma
tional capital Tuesday, was believed to
be at Monterey and they declared there
appeared little likelihood of his advance
toward the south in the near future.
Hundreds of Mexicans, convinced that
their lives would be forfeited if they re-
mainad in the capital until the arrival
there of Francisco Villa or Emiliano Ia
pata, are reaching Vera Cruz daily. I'm
less they greatly exaggerate the fright
that has been occasioned by the approach
of the rebels to the capital the problem
of caring for a congested native popu-
Iation within the American lines here
will soon be added to the work of Brig
adler General Funston and his officers.
Most of the refugees are business men
and their families. who anticipate that
the substitution of another regime for
that of General Huerta will be accom-
panied by much disorder.
It is declared by some of the refugees
that General Villa probably viii have
with him not only Zapata but thous-
ands of the lower class element in Mex
leo City. Villa, they point out, has
made no secret of the fact that he has
prepared long list of those selected for
death in case he should reach the cap
ital, while Zapata for a long time has
boasted that not only General Huerta
and his official family, but hundreds of
others would have to die when he came
10 the capital.
Zapsta once sent word to the capital
that he would set up a guillotine in
the big square in front of the national
naIace and accumulate there a nile of
the most aristocratie heads in the city.

$500 AGENCIES OF
ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS
Are Now Established in United States
Whereas There Were Less Than
$50 in the Year 1905.

Washington, ID. c., May THE work
of the National Association for the Pre-
vention of tuberculosis, which was be.
gun iust 10 years ago, was reviewed al
the opening session of the 10th annual
meeting of the association here to. day
DR.. Charles ]. Hatfield of Philadelphia,
one of the directors, reported that after
10 years work there are over $500 anti
tuberculosis agencies now well estab-
Iished, as compared with less than $50
such agencies in 1905.
The agencies to-day include $50 tu-
berculosis sanatoria and hospitals, 4l0
dispensaries, nearly 200 nti-tuberculo-
sis associations, and 250 open air schools
and fresh air classes. Beside, con
siderable number of boards of health and
other agencies are taking an active part
in this campaign.
"While the national association cannot
lay claim to the organization of each
and every individual piece of anti-tuber-
culosis work developed during these
years." SAYS the report, "it is probably
no exaggeration to say that at least a
great part of this movement has been
stimulated directly by our association.
1t is, therefore, significant to you, who
are members of the association to note
that while the entire budget of the ma
tional office for this period has been
only 100000, federal, state, and local
anti-tuberculosis agencies, both public
and private, have expended during this
same period practically $l00,000,000."
Dr. Hatfield also reported upon the
Red Cross Christmas seal sale for last
year and estimated that when all the
returns are in, the aggregate sale will
reach more than 43,000.000 seals. a gain
of 10 per cent over 1912. Plans for
the sale next fall have already been per-
fected and the printing of the seals win
soon be begun. Some of the most sig
nifcant developments of new work dur
ing the past year have been in the states
of South Carolina, Oklahoma. and South
Dakota. In all of these states the new
activities have been stimulated by the
sale of Red Cross seals,

Great Quantities of Arms
and Ammunition Were
Seized from the Defeated
Federals in Three Places
Report May Explain
Why Carranza Declined
Mediation

Washington, d. c., May 7.-Carranza's
attitude toward mediation, which tenn
porarily eliminated him from the nego-
tiations, is declared to have been re-
vealed to-day by the official report of a
vigorous rebel military campaign marked
by significant victories.
Carranza reports the defeat of 5000
federals at Penazoos with the capture of
$500 prisoners and quantities of arms
and ammunition: the capture of Aea-
poneta Topic, LOO men surrendering
with million rounds OF ammunition
and quantities of arms; the capture of
field guns, artillery and ammunition
from the fleeing column that evacuated
Monterey. No casualties on either side
were mentioned.
After the receipt of the report, Min
lister Zubaran, the constitutionalist rep
resentative here, was emphatic in his
forecast that within the next month
the rebel armies would be investing
Huerta's capital. He estimates that
more than 10000 rebel troops are now
in the field
Mr.. Zubaran made public the follow
ing message from General Carranza
General Pablo Gonzales informs me
that May General Carrera Torres de-
feated $500 federals at Penazcos, near
San Luis Potosi, capturing General Ar
zamendi with all the military trains
500 prisoners and great quantity of
arms and ammunition.
General Obragon, operating on the
west coast, informs me that he has cap
tured Acaponeta, 100 miles below Mazat-
lin, in the territory of Tepic, the whole
federal garrison having surrendered, COM
posed of more than 100 men. We cap
tured 1000 mauser rifles, three field
pieces. several machine guns, and what
is best of all, 100000 rounds of am
munition. General Obragon completed
the siege of Mazatlan, the gunboat More
los having grounded at Island Piedra
and has been put out of commission by
our artillery.
"The forces of General Pablo Gonzales
overlook the column which fled from
Monterey to Saltillo, capturing six field
guns and much artillery and rife am
munition.

PROCEED WITHOUT cARRANzA.
Mediators Will Go to Niagara Falls
May II.

Washington, ID. G.. May THE South
American mediators have completed
their plans for the beginning the peace
conference at Niagara Falls. Head
quarters will be established at leading
hotel there, which consented to advance
the date of its opening in order to ac-
commodate the conference. The medi-
ators with their secretaries, stenogra-
piers, etc, will make party of about
rs. They will leave here the l4th to
prepare for the opening conference the
following Monday. The Huerta dele
gates are expected to arrive by way of
Montreal.
The mediators announced that they
would proceed with their work without
regard to the course OF Carranza in com
ing in or remaining out of the confer
ence. They have made no further over
lures to him and if he comes in it will
be voluntary on his part.
In quarters outside of the mediators,
however, pressure is being applied to
Carranza to bring him into the confer
ence. IL is believed to be the desire of
the United States that he should partic-
ipate in order that the entire Mexican
trouble may be brought within any set
tlement secured.
The United States delegates have not
yet been named. Secretary Bryan said,
however, that there was no truth in
published intimations that the United
States might not appoint delegates and
thus withhold participation in the con
ference. He viii talk further with
President Wilson before the names are
announced

TO CELEBRATE ANNIVERSARY.
Clan Gordon, 0. S. c., of Barre Will Be
80 Years Old on May 20.

| Through the hospitality and good Of
| fees of the Ladies' Auxiliary to Clan
Gordon, the regular meeting OF the clan
last night was turned into an informal
get together party that came as a com
lplete surprise TO the members just as
they We're finishing the usual business of
the meeting Upwards of 100 women
carried the elan rooms by storm and
proceeded to carry out the party pro-
gram. Once the clansman had recov-
cred from their surprise, they turned to
with considerable spirit and joined in
the evenings festivities, Perhaps the
most notable feature of the gathering
came when Mrs. Robert Inglis, chief sis
ter of the auxiliary, speaking for the
membership, presented the clan a purse
lof 500 to be used in celebrating the
clan anniversary May %. Chief George
Cormack made a fitting response.
Then followed an improptu program
that was none the less enjoyable be-
cause it had not been arranged. Miss
Agnes Keith and Mrs. Alex. Edward
contributed solos and Leslie Mercer
danced, to the delight of those who
looked on. Bruce's orchestra was present
and it was only natural that the COM
pany fell to dancing. Chief Corma ck
and Mrs. Inglis led the grand march and
a variety of dances, old and new, kept
the crowd on toes until near midnight.
A number of the women served a buffet
luncheon during the evening.
The celebration to which the clan
ladies have so generously contributed
is to be one of the most important gath
erings of clansmen ever held in Barre
according to tentative arrangements.
May 90 is the 30th anniversary of the
founding of Clan Gordon No. II. 0. S. C..
A committee of II members has been
selected to bring the plans to maturity
and more detailed program will be an
neunced later. II is proposed to mark
the occasion with big banquet to be
served in elan hall and to be followed
by dance. Probably there will be out
oftown clansmen present to join in the
speechmaking. Anyway, the order is not
going TO pass the opportunity to cele-
brate in big fashion its own birthday.
