VILLA MAY NOT
ENTER CAPITOL
CITY, MEXICO

Washington, Jan. 19.-Dispatches fl
ed yesterday at Mexico City said that
Whit IL was reported General Villa
with large force was coming to the
capital, reliable information indicat-
ed he would not move further south
than CEeretaro.
Agents o. the american government
n the Mexican capital said they were
at q loss 10 understand the new phases
ct the situation or predict the out
come.
One message ventured the sugges-
ton that Villas stop at Queretaro
might mean that he finds himself ur-
abte-tn cooperate further with the
Lapata forces. .,.
Ali day Yesterday officials of the de-
partmc1ts. set up hy the convention
government We're packing their rec
crds preparatory to going north,
either to Torreon or Chihuahua. An
indication Of the lack OF harmony
was the publication of an interview in
the Mexican newspapers by General
Palafox, Zapata leader, denouncing
the convention troops for occupying
Crizaba. which it is believed previous
~ was earrisoned by Zapata troops
The advance from Puebla Of the
forces Of General Obregon, a Carran-
"a chief, and the sudden departure of
General Gutierrez from Mexico City
with 5000 men has proven menace to
the capital. In many quarters here the
belief prevails that Villa plans to
cvaclate Mexico City and strengthen
his lines north of the capital, making
an effort to obtain complete control
Of all the northern states before turn
ing his attention to the capital and
the south.
State department officials up to
noon today had received no confirma-
ton of reports that Villa had already
reached Mexico CITY.

Mothers IN RIOT
TO GET OWN BABIES
Checking System Goes
Wrong and Checker Is
Very Unhappy.

There was near lynching yesterday
store on 125th Street. James Hartman,
afternoon in front of department
an employe of the store, was marked
as the victim by flock Of infuriated
women. Only the lack of a lamppost
and the tin ely arrival of two police
men stood between Hartman and sud
den anrihilation.
The store recently started baby
checking system. &J5ners may leave
their little ones in Hartman's care.
Brass checks are used.
Yesterday afternoon brought out an
unusually large number of shoppers.
Hartman had his hands full attending
10 the various and exacting needs OF
twenty youngsters. One chubby, red
haired baby, with mighty lungs, kept
him especially busy.
Presently bundle laden woman
emerged from the store. Perfunctorily
tossing her brass check TO Hartman
she went TO the carriage in which she
spied her baby. Hartman followed,
compared the numbers on the cheeks
looked again, and gently demonstrated:
MADAM, pardon, but this is not your
baby
A frigid stare and an eloquent shrug
of shoulders we're his only answer.
But Hartman was inslstent. lie
showed the checks All he got for his
pains was a naughty:
"Well, I guess | know my own flesh
and blood"
Just then another woma- came out
of the store and gave Hartman her
check. Again Hartman found that the
baby the woman wanted had wrong
number. When another woman refused
to acknowledge pair of twins as hers,
in spite of Hartman's checks, real trou-
bic broke loose
Hartman finally realized nat the wo-
nen could not all be wrong, and then
he remembered seeing a nice boy play
ing with some of the babies. He tried
to explain the checks had been dis
turbed but the iratc women did not
give him a chance. Even the men pass
ing, not knowing what the fuss was
about, helped out the outraged moth
ers.
Some one told Patrolman Flynn about
the riot and he, joined by colleague,
came up on the run just in time TO save
Hartman, pale and exhausted, from the
worst
Meanwhile, one Of the store managers
ordered the brass check system sus-
pended. Hartman took the rest of the
afternoon Off to look for the culprit.

they are trying TO cure her of the
habit The woman kissed her daugh-

but when she had been gone
a short time the girl told her watch

the drug from her mothers mouth in
