East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1914-06-17

Ell PASo. June 17.-Friends of
Gen. villa denied In his behalf they
said. that he had broken with Gen.
Carranza. His subordinates seizures
of the constitutionalist bureau of in
formation and the telegraph offices
at Juarez and the arrest of Carran-
zista officials in charge. II was ex-
planned was due to a misinterpretation
of orders sent by villa to Colonel Or
nelas, who is the military commander
OF Juarez.
Despite the declaration of Villas
friends, 80 CarranZista officials have
been arrested and sent to Torreon,
where villa is supposed to be. 1t is
understood that one OF the causes OF
Villas reported dissatisfaction with
Carranza's handling the constitution
alist affairs, was the censorship Of
the formers telegrams. Many believed
the reason for wanting operators at
Torreon was to learn who was respon-
sibie. The consensus of opinion here
is that when the situation clears, VIII
la will be in control of northern Mex
leo.
The general plan of which the coup
here is thought to be part was not
thoroughly understood, but there is
"a rnmor that statement from Villa
to the American Press is on the way
from Torreon explaining why it was
necessary to act against Carranza and
setting forth his own and his mems
attitude. The statement from Saltillo
that villa resigned to become COVER
nor of the state of Chihuahua is not
generally credited.

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Despite
the denial attributed to villa that
there is any intention OF break with
Carranza, administration officials are
much worried by the news that the
followers of Villa deposed the Carran-
zistas in authority at Juarez and put
themselves in their places. The un-
easiness was not lessened by vague
reports of similar proceedings farther
south of the border or by a story that
Villa had summoned the commanders
of the garrisons throughout the ter
ritory he controls to report to him at
Torreon.
State department agents have been
instructed to report In full concern

Make practise of going over the
garden beds and clipping away seed
vessels. The plants will at once set
about making good their loss and as
flowers are the first step toward thu
formation of seed, they will soon pro
duce a new crop of blossoms.
In this way you can make almost
constant boomers of flowers that

this is done, the suckers about this
plant-of which so much complaint is

than ordinary weeds. II Is when they
are allowed to grow for a season that
the trouble begins. Therefore, keep
them down from the start and you
will have nothing to complain Of I

Be on the lookout for the black
beetle If you grow asters. This pest

his work rapidly and will be gone

you are on the watch for him. And
when he goes he will leave behind
him a lot of ruined plants II not in

II the season happens to be dry

from the soil.
Allow the clippings to remain in a

CHAPTER DISCONTINUED.

Wallace made an effort to sit up
and discuss things further with Broad
way, who seemed to be entirely awake,
though dreamy in a strange, unwonted
way, but there were two arguments
against this, the first that gnats and
moths swarmed merrily In as soon as
the oil lamp was lighted, bringing with
them more than one mosquito, the sec
ond being that he was worn out after
a long day full OF various excitements.
"Pm going to bed" he finally de-
cided.
Best place for you, Bob, this time
Of night. Folks who sit up"
ooh, shut up! Good night"
Good night. See you in the morn.

Now, why" asked Wallace, after he
had left his friend, did that boy seem
SO glad to have me go to bed? He act
ed just as II he wanted to kneel down
and pray, but couldn't while vulgar
herd like me was looking on. Now,
what the dewitt"
He got into bed.
Broadway did not go to bed. Instead
he found a pen and ink and some Of
the soft, spongy hotel stationery in a
drawer of the bare washstand. He be-
gan work with them slowly, painfully.
The pen soon failing, he dug from a
corner OF a pocket In his vesA the pen
Gil of which he had been b proud
when Pembroke had called on him,
and continued. After an hours hard
labor for his brain, the pencil, the soft
paper and the tongue which he, contin-
ually thrust into his cheek, he had
completed what he thought a master
piece. He was not sure whether he
would speak 1t. the next day, to Josie,
by herself, or to the assembled multi
tude of the mills employees. but he was
certain 1t was great.
Having written it he spent another
hour in carefully committing II to
memory (or 30 he fondly thought) and
then got into bed.
An hour later he tried to sleep the
night out sitting up, for the bed was
such as he had never even read about
When, at last, he fell into q posture

Josie Richards. AS soon as she had
rescued him each time, he spoke his
speech to her, and she wept on his
shoulder.
The result of such night of agony
was. naturally, that they slept later
in the morning than was the Jonesville
custom. When half past eight arrived
and they had not appeared, the wife
of the proprietor sent him upstairs to

peacefully asleep, she was both
shocked at such unheard-of Incidence,
and cheated at the lack of tragedy, so
she snorted, "Scandalous!" as she
crashed down each step.
She was very solid woman, widely
built. Wallace had noticed that the
night before when he had peeped in
through the door. Had she been aware
of that terrific episode, she would have
screamed for the village constable and
had him locked up in the calaboose.
Broadway had his high triumphant
moment when it became apparent that
Wallace would of necessity go to the
village barber shop. Having come
away in fight from Mrs Gerard with
out bags or luggage OF whatever kind,
he had no razor with him.
