TERRAZAS To
PAYDEMANO
WITH LIFE
Prisoners Aged Father Unable to
Raise $500,0OO Ordered,
and Time Is Up

Ell PASO, TEXAS, March 6,-The
FIVE days given Gen. Luis Terrazas
until recently the richest man in Mex
leo, to raise 100000 ransom for his
son. Luis Terrazas, Jr., who is pris-
oner in the hands of the Constitution
alists in. Chihuahua City, expired to-
day
Gen. Francisco Villa warned Cen
eral Terrazas that his son would be
executed if the money was not paid,
but the aged Mexican was unable to
secure more than 100000, his vast
fortune of S40,0OO,OOO being tied up
by the revolutions in Northern Mex
leo.
1t is believed that Terrazas will
be shot tonight. Relatives of the
prisoner expressed the belief that he
had already been executed, as Villa
has made no effort TO hide his fierce
enmity against the Terrazas family.
Not Case for U. S. Action.
Final appeals were made day by
the aged Mexican, who renewed his
application to be allowed to die in
stead of his son. Friends again Wis
tied Marion Letcher, United States
Consul in Chihuahua City, who has
been here for several days but Mr.
Letcher said that. as Terrazas is
Mexican citizen, the United States
could not interfere.
The patriarchial, white bearded
Terrazas is on the verge of collapse
as the result of worry over the plight
of his son.
1t is believed here that Felix Daz
is getting ready TO launch another
revolution in Mexico. Diaz, who is
in Washington is reported to have
established five juntas on the border
with which he is in constant COM
munication
Or, Topper Starts Probe.
Dr. Henry Allen Upper, a personal
friend of President Wilson, to-day
began an investigation of the death
of William ). Benton ad nthe disap-
pearance of Gustave Bauch, the
American who dropped from view
after his arrest by General Villas
soldiers on a charge Of being spy.
Dr. Upper is acting officially as
a special commissioner of the Inter-
national Peace Forum. to which he
will make his report Before he came
he had a conference with President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan, to whom
the result Of his investigation will
also be submitted.
Thus DR.. Upper is acting unoff-
cially as an agent of the United
States Government, lie will inquire
closely into the entire Mexican situa-
ton.
