Gen. Natera did. Villa isn't that kind
of general. =
Gen. Pablo Gonzales, commander >
of the eastern division of the rebel :,
forces, is going south along the east
coasts taking such, federal towns as
happen to be in his way.
He ought to be of assistance in the
attack On San Luis Potosi. But be-
feve, and get my bunch from good
rebel sources, that when Zacatecas
falls into Villas hands the great
rebel army will make rush to Mex
leo City, leaving the federals at San
Luis Petosi for later attack.
Marching under this hot Mexican
sun is a tough proposition, but it
hasn't anything on marching through
the, cloGdburst rain the weatherman

All along the route our train had
to stop while washouts were repair
ed and temporary bridges built Then
We would go on a few miles further
and get out and go through the same
operation Of roadbed making and
bridge building.

out here in these parts. .@s.s 50 - -.

To be with him while he is planning
an attack is mighty interesting, but
to see him in battle is far more So.
When he comes tearing along,
standing up in his stirTups, yelling
and cussing and calling on every saint
he ever heard of, Pancho Villa can
get every mothers son in the rebel
army fighting like demons.

TAKES Two STEN0s.
To Keep Up With the Colonel When
in Action.

Oyster Bay, May 22.-It took two
stenographers to keep pace with Colonel
Roosevelt today as he dictated letters
and kilograms, several thousand of
which have come since the coloneIs re-
turn. Colonel Roosevelt declined to see
callers this morning and denied himself
his customary early horseback ride.
Later in the day several visitors were
expected for political conferences. The
colonel expected to start early Tuesday
for Washington where he will address
the National Geographic society that
evening returning to New York prob
ably that night. Aside from this trip
he expects to remain at home until he
leaves on May 80 for Spain.

Red Headed Boy Taken to In.

Former Convict at Missouri
Was Sent to Topeka.

The red-headed boy with a bump
lover his eyebrows. Edward Otto.
placed in the county jail because he
believed he had been hypnotized at
the Missouri state penitentiary, was
found insane by a commission In the
probate court today. Strange. the
commission solioquized. that Otto
should have been confined In tho
penitentiary in such q mental condi-
ton: strange that he should have been
dismissed and left to care for himself.
Having served three-fourths of a sem
tence for grand larceny he was dis
charged and ordered to leave Cole and
Galloway counties at once.
Otto's strange actions on q Rock Is
land train led to his being dropped at
Topeka and placed in<jail. pending
hearing. A communication from d.
c. McCiung. warden Of the state peni-
Tertiary at Jefferson City. declared
that Otto left the institution in the
rived. The boy was convicted in No
vember. 1912. and discharged May 8,
1914.
He showed no signs Of violence at
his trial today, but sat pensively rub
bling his brilliant spikes Of hair-eaid
the shape of his head hurt him. He
told the commission he was q prize
fighter. cousin to Frank Gotch, world
champion wrestler.
When he was told he must go to the
state hospital, he expressed q pathetic
hope that he would ''fatten up" He

CANAL LOCKS SAFE.
Faulty Steel Was Discovered in Time
by Inspectors.

Washington. May 22.-The great steel
locks in the Panama canal are as strong
and as safe as engineering skill can
make them and there Is not the slightest
danger to life or property in their use.
notwithstanding the disclosure Of attempt
ed fraud in the supply of proper metal
for their construction. This statement
was made at the Isthmian canal offices
today when attention was called to GRIM
inal presentments found by the grand jury
in Pittsburg against five steel makers on
a charge Of conspiracy to furnish inferior
material for the locks.
Major Boggs. in charge Of the canal
office here. explained that the attempt to
deliver defective steel castings or cast
ings that had not been fully treated and
annealed. had been discovered by the
government inspectors before the ma
terial was worked into the locks. Every
piece of metal under suspicion. it was
said, was Immediately reiterated and re-
placed if found defective before being
riveted into the gates. The United States
government, 1t was declared. had lost no
money by this attempt at fraud. The pur-
pose Of the prosecution in Pittsburg it
Is asserted, is to warn would-be dishonest
contractors and punish those alleged to
be guilty in this case.

MUST GIVE SERVICE.
No Discrimination in Telephone OPP
+ position Says State.

A telephone company desiring to
patronize the service of another tel
ephone company has the same rights
as a private, individual and must be
furnished with it as promptly and
fully as is an individual, says a rul-
ing of the public utilities commission
today. The decision will affect the
telephone business widely in the state
and is of general interest because Of
its general application.
The Northeast Kansas Telephone
company, operating in a number of
the northeastern Kansas counties,
filed complaint against local COM
panies in Hiawatha, Morrill, and Rob-
inson because of their refusal to fur
nish telephone service on the grounds
that it was an opposition company.
The utilities commission sustained
the cause of complaint and ruled that
the local companies must give the
service desired at ordinary rates.
