GENERAL VILLA
STORY OF HIS REMARKABLE
PERSONALITY AND MILL
TARY GENIUS.

Mexico City, Dec. THAT Fran
cisco Villa, the one time bandit,
would be president of Mexico or die
in the attempt was a prediction made
more than a year ago by some of his
close friends. With Villas taking of
Torreon, the Huerta stronghold. last
April. observers of Mexican affairs
discovered that the 'unlettered ban
dit general was a born genius as a
strategist and commander and from
the time of his first appearance as a
follower of the constitutionalist
chief, Carranza, there appeared the
possibility that he would some day
completely overshadow this mild
hammered old lawyer-general as a
leader in Mexico.
Now that he has entered Mexico
City, the capital itself scarcely knows
who this man Villa is. However ia
miliar his name, Villa has never
ceased to be an enigma. Those who
have seen the worst side of him have
never pictured him better than a
primitive man, still the red handed
bandit he was years ago. Others see
him changed so remarkably as to
look seriously to him as the savior
of Mexico"
Sketching what is most interesting
about Villa rather than what, per
haps, is the most v%eracious. there is
the romantic story of how he turned
bandit. Born in 1868 in the little
mining town of Las Nieves, In the
state of Durango, he remained there
until the death of his father. Then,
as a protector of his mother and sis
ter. he became a cowboy in western
Chihuahua. From their parents, who
| were poems of northern Mexico (some
| accounts say of a very good family
the children had inherited Spanish
and Indian blood and traits. The
story is that when a regiment oil

ed on Villas sister. There was an
elopement without marriage. The
most melodramatic accounts say thai
villa galloped after the clippers
caught them and arranged their
| marriage. Then he told his newly
| acquired brother-in-law to sign his
| own death certificate, dig his owl
| grave and lie beside it. Villa shot

became a bandit. His real name had
been Doreteo Orange. but as a ban
dit he became known as Francisco
and "Pancho" Villa. He gathered
together a number OF desperate men
of the northern mountain country
and within a few months his name
was the terror of the region. He was
Robin Hood i%ncarnate. He and his
band subsisted by robbery and pill
age on the Chihuahua mountains.
According to the more generous
estimates of Villas life at this time,
his outlawry was rather in the form
of guerrilla warfare than actual
b~rigandage, for the purpose of salts
flying his revenge upon the dictator,
Diaz. At the outbreak of the Ma
dero revolt against Diaz in 1910
Villa, unasked, cast his lot with the
Maderists and rendered such valu-
able aid that Madero was forced to
recognize the peon commander
When Madero sent Gen. Huerta into
the north to combat the Orozco re
bellion, Villa and Huerta came to a
clash. They were much alike. Each
contemptuous of the other. Huerta
had Villa arrested and condemned to
death by a military court for insub-
ordination. but Madero's debt to
villa saved him from this extreme
penalty. He was taken to Mexico
City as a prisoner, readily escaped
and pushed his way north again
seeking refuge across the Texas Dor
der.
Villas rise to his present power
dates from the day-a little less
than two years ago-when he started
across the Rio Grande with two com.
panions, six borrowed" horses, 81

beans, coffee and sugar. Less thar

SENATE URGED TO
PASS BILLS FOR
AID OF SETTLER
Senator Borah Pleads for
the Extension Bill, Which
He Declares Could Be
Passed in Few Hours.

Washington, June 2.-Senator Borah
pleaded in the senate today for public
land legislation for the west before
the adjournment of congress. He said
the west needed a grazing law and a
power law, but he conceded thvy would
require much time. Only a few hours
were needed, he urged to pass the
bill for extension of payments on rec
lamation projects.
-Four or five years may be a short
time for us to pass legislation, but it
Is a long time to the settler who is
being closed out. If this session closes
without the passage of this law it will
be an act of injustice and inhumanity
to thousands of projects" Senator
Borah said The senator favors fill
buster to get the reclamation legisla-
ton through. Senator Borah added
that there probably would be no river
and harbor bill unless the reclamation
bill was added to it.
