SALTILLO CUT Off
BY VILLAS FORCES
City Said To Be in DeS-
perate Straits for Food
as a Result.

Juarez, Mexico, May 1.-The movement
OF rebel troops toward Saltillo continued
to-day, Villas plan of campaign being to
so surround the capital of Coahula with
rebel troops that it will be impossible for
reinforcements to reach the city or for
Velasco's force in Saltillo to retreat south.
General Z. a. Benavides. with the lara
gosa brigade, to-day cut communication
between Saltillo and Moncova, where a
Federal garrison has been preparing to
move to Saltillo, and late to-day advices
say he is moving TO attack the isolated
garrison.
Saltillo conditions are believed 10 be
desperate. 1t has been several weeks since
II was possible TO get any food into the
city. except the little that could be Sc
cured from nearby ranches, and Federals
who have deserted from the garrison
there say the soldiers and the people OF
the city are facing starvation. Unless re-
lief can quickly be given, Velasco's only
hope now, it is believed, is to fight his
way out to the south.
Final conferences with General Venus
tiano CarranZa by George :. Carothers,
ment: Roberto Pesduera, Carranza's con-
fdental agent on the border, and the
American Consul. Marion Letcher. are to
be held in Chihuahua city tomorrow
night. Following the conference, which
may last for some hours or may be ad-
journed to be resumed Monday, General
Carranza will begin his journey to the
south.
The conferences. il is understood, VIII
have to do with the treatment of Ameri-
cans in rebel territory and the release OF
several Americans held under minor
charges by rebels in Sonora and west
coast towns. An effort also will be made
by the rebels, il is said to have the en-
barge on ammunition TO rebels modified
so that saddles and clothing for soldiers
may be sent in for the rebel army.

ACCESSIBILITY Of holding the peace con-

Havana was suggested as conven-

gated the gamblers death untouch-
ed, BALD jack Rose today ended his
ordeal as star witness for the state.
Led by Dist Atty Whitman in re-
direct examination, Rose cleared up
every apparent discrepancy which
the skilful questioning of Martin T.
MantOn, Becker's chief counsel, had
apparently shown in his version of
how the four gunner killed ROsen-
thai.
Hot tits between Whitman and
MantOn marked the last few mo-
ments of Roses testimony. AS he
saw his labor wasted by Roses re-
plies, the defense counsel grew angry
and practically accused Whitman of
coaching the witness last night.
Then Justice Seabury broke in.
He sharply called Manton to order
and Becker's counsel, apparently dis
heartened, ceased his tactics.

STOOL PIGEON HANDS BRUTAL
BEATING TO PEDESTRIAN

Citizens who live in the neighbOr-
hood of 18th street and Wabash ave
nue. are protesting against the brutal
assault of a FunkhouseT~ stool pigeon
on young man awaiting a street car.
The stool pigeon was Isaac Ber-
kowsky. The man he assaulted was
Louis Bowman, a jewelry salesman,
1929 Federal street.
Bowman was beaten by Berkow-
sky and then struck in the side of the
head with a revolver, according to
witnesses.
The story runs that Bowman was
standing on the corner of 18th street
and Wabash avenue, waiting for a
Cottage Grove avenue car when Ber-
kOwsky came up to him.
What do you want here?" asked
Berkowsky, who is merely a stool
pigeon and has no right to demand
anyone's business. But Bowman evil
IDENTIFY imagined he was a policeman
and told him he was waiting for car.
He had hardly spoken when Ber-
kowsky struck him several times in
the face and battered him. to the
ground, his face bleeding. Then Ber-
kowsky left him and started to walk
hurriedly away.
A crowd had gathered and they
hOOted the stool pigeon. They urged
Bowman to follow him and find a
policeman. Bowman followed him
and saw a policeman at 18th street
and Wabash avenue. The officer took
them both to the station, where Ber-
kowsky bluffed them into booking his
victim.
The case came up in the South
Clark street courtroom and was con-
tinued until May q pending inVes-
tigation of the brutal assault on Bow

cries, meaningless mass of domestic architecture

and tract Of scrubby Florida land decorated with
what her father had usually referred to as cha

These material tokens of parental thrift Miss

So she first learned how to cherish them and then
did it. The first six months Of her administration
showed profits increased all along the line.
The remainder of Ednas business in life was to
better herself socially. And she went about it with
that vivid imagination and fearless enthusiasm
which had made Peter Ritter the malt monarch of
