Villa a Robin Hood to His Friends
But a Barbarian Chief to Enemies

Pancho villa is. according to his
vengeful and barbarian chieftain inn
aginable, half Indian and half beast"
a creature TO be viewed only with de-
testation and repulsion.
To his friends, however, he is a
man driven to Robin Hood life by a
regime of tyranny. forced to wild acts
of outlawry in self preservation, n
being at heart most gentle and hu-
name, and become by the strange
yicissitudes OF Mexico the victorious
general who may in a month or two
march into Mexico City, triumphant,
at the head of his rough, unkempt
troops.
All accounts of Villa start with his
iirst Staying. Before that he Is only
known as a siX-foot scion of one of
the best families in Northern Mexico,
proud, naughty, athletic. a dead shot
and born leader.
He was left the guardian of his
sister, a dark eyed beauty, on the
death OF his father. A jefe politico,
or high sheriff, who lived near the
villa ranch, eloped with the girl who
had been left in Pancho's care. There
was no marriage. Pancho decided
the stain on the escutcheon could be
removed only = by the death OF the
Sheriff,
Shoots Bridegroom.
Mounting lis swiftest horse, he
galloped after the elopers. caught
them and arranged their marriage
Then he forced his brother-in~law to
sign his own death warrant, dig his
own grave and lie down on the mound
at the side Of it. He deliberately shot
the bridegroom and rolled the body
into the pit, which he then Allied with
earth.
The father OF the dead Sheriff rode
out 10 the Villa ranch and was shot
dead as he knocked at the door Their
PanehO fed into the hills and price
was placed upon his head by Portiric
Diaz.
That's the way the story is usually
told. But others say there was one
day row In an adobe hutpatronized
by the gamblers of Chihuahua, and
an army officer was shot dead The
assailant escaped 10 the hills and be-
came "Pancho the Bandit" the ter
ror OF Northern Mexico.

marrying her by force Then. II was

His greatest feat was the second
capture of the city OF Juarez. Re-
treating northward from Torreon,
hemmed between two forces of Fed
erals, he met and captured SOUTH
bound Federal troop train. Almost
instantly he had seized the nearest
telegraph station and sent a message
back to Juarez, whence the train
had come, signed with the name OF
the Federal officer in charge of the
train. The Federal officer (per Villa)
reported his way barred by rebels, and
declared he must hurry back to Jua-
rez. Then Villa loaded 1900 troops
on the train and started for Juarez.
The train would stop little way from
each station, and picked squad
would go forward and seize the tele-
graph operators. In this way he pro-
ceded all the way to Juarez unde-
tected, ran into the middle of the city
in the night. and put the Federals to
flight by surprise. Then he again
loaded his army on cars and returned
south, whipping the Federals who
had been pursuing him.

-0ne-Another" Craze Is
Weakening American Women,
Asserts DR.. Ng. Poon Chew.

DR.. Ng. Poon Chew, of Canton
China. and San Francisco, where he
represents his country as Consul, who
came to Atlanta from the East early
this week for the Atlanta Bible Con-
ference, said Saturday that he con-
sidered women's fashions. as they
prevail to-day in the United States,
one of the most prominent indica-
lions of degrading tendencies noted
by him since his fifteen years stay
among the American people
Dr. Chew is an exponent of Christi
anity in his own country, and stated
that he hoped he woulu never see
among the Chinese women who had
accepted the Gospel through his
teachings the adoption of the "in-
decent" dress he has witnessed of
late on the streets of some big Ameri-
can cities.
Women in America have told me-"
said DR.. Chew, that these varying
fashions are brought upon them by
force, and that the acceptance of a
questionable dress by a few is more
or less of a command upon women
as a whole to approve Of the latest
fad and initiate themselves on styles,
probably in the great majority, not
of their own direct choosing In this
follow one another craze in dress.
the American women show the only
element of weakness I have noted in
them. They are otherwise given more
freedom, and have more initiative
than any other women in the world"
Were the women of China to take
up this expensive dress of the Amer
lean women" he continued, "the Chi
naman of average means would hard
ly be able to buy the patterns. much
less the material for their makeup !"
DIR. Chew speaks fluent English. He
has family residing in San Fran
cisco, and is educating his children
in American ideas. He says, how
ever he will not permit his daugh-
tiers to follow the late American dress
fashions for women, and that they
are quite content to adhere to the
mode of dress in vogue among women
when he first came to the United
States is years ago.

JOHNSON PICKED
To END POLICE
DEADLOCK
Dozen Votes Now Split Among
Three Men-RecaIls Fight
of 1895.

Friends of George Johnson Satur-
day were advancing the idea of break
ing up the supposed deadlock for
chairman of the Police Board by COM
promising on Mr.. johnson. The line
up at present is understood to be a
dozen votes split three ways among
r. T. Pace, W. A. Vernoy and W. F.
Fain
Between two Of the candidates the
line of difference appears to be plain
enough. Vernoy is for" Chief Beavers
and Pace is against him.
Fain's position is more ambiguous.
He is undoubtedly among those who
tacitly oppose a number of Chief
Beavers attitudes but has supported
the Chief on many occasions and of
late it is understood that he is re-
ceiving a good deal Of support from
the Beavers camp.
Recalls 1895 Fight.
As to what would be the outcome
in the event Johnson should be chosen
as a compromise chairman, the field
of speculation is large. The most
likely surmise, however, is that john
son could not attain the post and be
out of harmony with Mayor Wood
ward.
If Johnson should become the chair
man under these circumstances, the
history of the Atlanta Police Board
would be repeating itself almost ex-
actly.
In 1895 there occurred the cele-
brated deadlock in the election Of a
chairman for the board lasting from
10 o'clock one morning to $50 o'clock
the next, in which more than 700
fruitless ballots were cast. In this
case also the split was over the Chief
of Police. then Arthur Connally.
johnson Then in Compromise.
Porter King was Mayor, and he
wanted Connally bounced. Captain
English was standing for election to
the chair, and the principal plank in
his platform was that Connally should
remain.
After that long and tempestuous
session, an adjournment of two days
was taken, and in that breathing
spell an arrangement was cooked up
by which Captain English agreed to
the election of George johnson as
chairman, with the understanding
that Connally was TO retain his job
as Chief of Police.
