MExICl0 CITY

fBy John Roberts, Staff Corresponds
ent. Delayed by Censor)
Zacatecas, June 24.-Fiye DAYS
bloody fighting, resulting in practi-
cal annihilation. of one of the 1arg-
est and best equipped armies gather
ed in Mexico by the federals, Gen.
Villa, with constitutionalist army,
now in possession of Zacatecas
HEAVY LOSSES ON BOTH SIDES
Fully 1000 federals were killed
and that many wounded; 5000 were
taken prisoners. Practically all the
prisoners will be enrolled in Villa 8
army. Less than 5000 federals es-
capped.
TOOK GREAT QUANTITY OF SUP
PLIES
The federal army lost half of it's
artillery, 5000 Mauser rifles and
an immense quantity of ammunition,
1S locomotives and 800 freight cars
loaded with stores of all kinds.
FEDERALS LOOTED THE CITY
The banks were stripped of mon
ey and other valuables by the fed
erals before they fed. Many build
ings on the principal streets were
dynamited and the explosion OF
mines cost villa heavy loss of life.
PAID A HEAVY PRICE
The city presents scene of desc
lation and havoc. Villa places the
loss at 500 to 900 killed and 500
wounded. This is conservative es-
innate.
Generals Herruera, Rodriguez
and Ortega were wounded and it is
believed fatally. The federal army
numbered 1900. Their position
was believed impregnable by mili-l
1tary experts.
The federals fed toward Agues
Calientes.
Washington, June 25.-The fall
of Zacatecas was officially confirmed
today. The general opinion is that
the differences between Huerta and
Carranza must now he settled on the
battlefield instead of by the media

PRISON INFECTED
WITH WHITE PLEAGUE
GUILTY OR INNOCENT, DEATH
is NOT FAR OFF FROM
MALCOLM CLIFFORD

Albany, n. Y, June 25.-Nine-
teen-year-old Malcolm Clifford, Jr.,
of Hudson, n. Y, scion of family
which has been wealthy and promi-
nent in this state for, more than a
century, was put on trial for murder
in the county court here today. He
is accused of shooting Frank ].
Clute of Albany, on the night OF
April 1, 1913.
Clifford has developed tuberculosis
while in prison. DR.. C. I. Bailey, Of
Hudson. n. Y, said today the upper
portion of the right lung is gone al
ready.
Clute drove large five passenger
automobile for hire. A man engag-
ed the automobile and driver about
8 p. m. April 1, 1913.
Clute's automobile was found at
dawn the next morning standing at
the. side Of the main road between
Albany and Troy, by a milkman..
There were blood stains on the cush-
ions and floor of the machine. The
body of CIute lay in a ditch nearby.
Professor James Craw, Water
vliet high school teacher, several
days later found pair of gloves sold
by - Bros, n. Y, near the scene
of the tragedy.
Cnte had been shot three times in
the back of the head. In the auto
mobile were three empty shells.
That was the only evidence obtained
for many months.
On the last day of March 1913,
young Clifford got his fathers per-
to attend a dance at the
Troy Club with young Boardman
and other school friends in the even
ing of April 1.
Derrick L. Boardman, young Raj
mey and SchImon had invitations to
a dinner at the Troy club preceding
the dance. The three other lads
left Clifford about seven O'Clock, go
ing to the club. He told them he
would go out for his dinner at some
restaurant and join them at the club
in time for the dance.
Clifford appeared at the Troy Club
about seven o'clock that night. He
was as lively as ever, many there
testified, took just as much interest
in the dance and was as ready as
ever for joking and fronick-
ing. He went back to the Boardman
house with the other three boys
early in the morning and slept alone
in the room of Henry L. Boardman,
owner of the house.
Clifford is accused of numbering
Clute between the time he parted
from the Boardman, Raimey and
SchLmon youngsters about seven
o'clock and his appearance at the
Troy Club.
The man who hired Clute in
Keeler's wore a grey suit, overcoat

OUR DRINK BILL

II came as a good deal Of a surprise to the
readers OF the daily news to learn that the drink
bill Of the United States for the last fiscal year
was actually nearly 500 900 900 greater than for
the year previous The drink bill of the people of
the United States for the past year amounted in
round numbers to Sl700 900 900
About half OF the money was spent for beer
and abou, third was spent for whiskey.
Enough money was spent for Intoxicating
drinks 10 pay twice over or nearly so the entire
interest bearing debt OF the United States
Enough money was spent for booze in this
land OF the free and home OF the brave informing
led we NIGH, say with large percentage OF fools
to pay four times over the entire cost OF digging
the Panama canal
Enough intoxicating drink poured down the
necks OF the people to build ten transcontlnenal
lines Of railroad at an average cost OF S5O,O0O per
mile
Enough brain numbIng and belly washing suds
swallowed by people, who not only could have
done without. bu, who would have been better oil
without, II, so that the money spent would have
built 544 900 miles OF macadamiled wagon road
At an average cost of $4,000 per mile.
The money spent in the United States for IN
toxicating liquor last year would have been suiii-
Gent to have built 1000, 900 comfortable mod
ern homes.
Enough money spent for hell broth to buy a
comfortable outfit of clothing for every man, wo-
man and ,hild IN the United States

were rayed 70 the ground tomorrow the liquor bill
Tor one year would bc sufficient to buy back every
campus erect every MASSIVE wall and equip every
institution with as good or better apparatus than
they have at present and double their present en-
dowmcnts
But what has been paid over the bars OF the
country isn't the whole drink bill by any means.
There should be charged to the account two
thirds OF the cost Of all the criminal courts OF the
country. most OF the cost OF policemen and jail
crs together with the cost OF building the Ialls
themselves. half the cost of maintaining hospitals
for the insane and large share Of the cost OF com.
batting the diseases that are bred in the sums and
miscalled homes OF wretched poverty
TO the other charges should also be added the
loss OF time the earning power wasted by men
whose mental and physical power is destroyed by
drink
There is one pleasant contrast to this appalling
picture The statistics also show that the drink bill
OF Kansas in proportion to her population Is not
more than one twentieth par, OF the average drink
bill per capita OF the nation opeka Capital
