The whole document is regarded as a

Reports from Chihuahua to the effect
that Villas ambition is to be president Of
Mexico were read with keenest interest
here yesterday. Repeated assurances re-
garding the relations between Carranza
and Villa have not yet dispelled the idea
from the minds of Washington officials
that Villa does not intend to permit Car

fighting that he. villa, has done. His
tardiness about attacking Torreon Is here

HUERTA IN SERIOUS
QUARREL WITH BANKERS

Mexico City, March l.-There is every
evidence that a crisis has been reached
between the state banks and the Huerta
government. A local banker is authority
for the statement that Gen. Huerta
made a demand upon the banks for ten
million pesos. This amount the bankers
agreed to raise and contribute to the
government. Then a demand came from
Gen. Banquet that the amount be ins
creased from ten millions to eighteen mil
lions. This was considered to be an ex-
orbitant amount by the bankers and they
refused to comply with the demand of
Banquet.
Gen. Huerta then issued an order that
the demand of Banquet should be re-
spected by the bankers. They then sent
word to the President that IL the gov
ernment adhered to its demand for 1S-
10000 pesos the government would have
to take them. Huerta replied that such
course was not beyond his purposes,
vhereupon the bankers declared that
they would close their doors and that the
government would be compelled to break
into the banks II it persisted in securing
the amount of The demand. They point
ed out. however. that IL the banks were
broken into there would undoubtedly re-
suit serious complications. Since then
the matter has been in allegiance.
There Is a rumor here tonight that the
Tampico garrison is in revolt.

1BOY WHO never WAS
bad Is Abnormal" !"
Dr.. Groszmann Denies Majority Of In
corrigible Children Are Feeble
Minded.
SPECIAL STUDY is NEEDED

II never would consider any boy who
was never bad boy as WORTH anything. /"
said DR.. Maximjiian p. z. Groszmann.
educational director of the National As
ISOLATION for the Study and Education OF
Exceptional Children, speaking before the
Home and School Association in Western
High School last evening. Mr.. Grosz-
mann's subject was Tentative Classifi-
cation of Exceptional Children"
THE child who never was bad has not
enough material in him TO Justify any
attention. except as an abnormal case.
continued Mr.. Groszmann in explanation
of his statement. 81 take exception to
the contention that the majority of in
corrigible children are feeble-minded.
Nearly every case of incorrigibility can
be made corrigible IL the trouble is taken
to get at the root of the matter and treat
the case with any degree of intelligence %
DIR. Gnoszmann spoke of three classes
OF exceptional children and the need for
special study Of each class The feeble
minded, idiot or imbecile child should be
segregated and given special training and
consideration. The primitive class. which
was normal a century ago. also requires
special treatment and study. But the
most important class. the class in whose
hands our future rests. is the exceptional
ly bright chill. who. with proper training
and opportunities. should develop into the
doctor, merchant. artist or poet of to-
morrow. The needs Of this class are but
dimly understood in our schools, said
DR.. Groszmann-

women released from Fort Bliss prison
camp have reported t. Gen. Hugh L.
Scott. commander of the fort. a plot
which was intended to result in the
escape Of the entire volunteer federal
force and part of the federal regulars.
The plan as outlined to Gen. Scott was
to dig a tunnel from the interior OF the
prison camp TO a point beyond the guards
outside the camp. II is stated that the
volunteers have been using picks and
shovels furnished by the United States
for the purpose of grading the streets Of
the camp. They have been working for
the last six weeks and the tunnel was

expected to take place within night or

ner as to prevent suspicion.
So anxious were the diggers thai
their work should not be discovered
that two of their number who were
under suspicion were killed in the
tunnel and buried there.
According to the story told by the
women. sympathizers with the Mexi-
can federal government outside the
camp were in the conspiracy. and had
formulated plans to take care of the
prisoners after they had made their
escape from the prison camp.
The women further declare that the
escaped men were to be conveyed to
a point along the border. where II
would be easy for them to cross into
Mexican territory. They declare that
200 rifles had been concealed and

England Is Pleased.


London. March 14-Ambassador Pages
remarks before the Associated Chambers
Of commerce n London are proving in
tensely gratifying to the British public
They are accepted as a natural tribute
TO the virtues of the British administra-
ton policy. On the other hand. Mr..
Page himself is now understood to be
intensely annoyed that his after-dinner
effort should be construed as amounting
to a pleasantly. In his eyes he was
making a serious declaration of govern
ment policy.
Mr. Page maintains that since the Lord
Murray episode in Colombia European
investors in South America are really
filled with fear of the United States op-
posing their financial participation, and
ii was this dread which he set himself
to combat Far from being a pleasantly,
this portion of his speech was intended
as a deliberate declaration of President
Wilson's wishes.
In the meantime all classes in Eng
land are raIlying to Ambassador Pages
support The Sunday newspapers give
the greatest prominence to Washington
cable messages stating that the Ambassa-
dor will not receive an official reprimand
for his 'indiscretion." In fact, it Is al
most Mr.. Pages misfortune that he is
not the victim of official disapproval
1nlS Is Ine only Hccucu IHdhc
him the idol of the British public.
"Great American Joke"
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
Mr.. Page probably is keeping ex-
tremely calm over the agitation which
his pleasantries at the recent dinner of
the Associated Chambers Of Commerce
evoked in America The ideals Of Mr..
Chamberlain are, of course, pretty well
known, while the fact that Mr.. Hearst
is leading the press attack on the Am
bassador is NJ less significant. Mr.. Page
probably will conclude that in spite of
the Senate's ponderous prohibition,
courtesy and humor are still permitted
to an Ambassador
The Evening Standard has an editorial
headed, "The Great American Joke.
After referring to the American claims
10 a sense of humor it proceeds:
TT is surprising to hear the tumult
caused in the States by Mr.. Pages refer
ence to the Monroe doctrine and the
Panama Canal. What hurt most was the
reference to the large extent to which
Great Britain would profit from Americas
magnificent enterprise. This, accepted in
dead earnest over the Atlantic, is now
explained as a pleasantly such as any
Ambassador, especially an American Am
bassador is entitled to indulge in. 80
There indeed lies the very serious OBJ
lection to bit Of fun, which should
never hit the mark of fact. II Mr..
Page intends to satirize his country for
expending its money, energy, and ability
in beneftting other people his joke was
clearly one that America could not be
called on to understand. It was a joke
at American expense, therefore no joke.
For who sees the real point of jest of
which he himself is the object?" !

be held at Santiago. Chile, has been post
poned from Septembey Is until November

the Chilean Minister and the State De-

The main reason for postponing the
conference is the disturbed condition Of
