VILLA ANXIOUS AS TO
FATE OF ANGELES

FL Paso, Texas. March 9.-Heavy
lighting between troops of General
Villa and the army Of General Alvaro
Obregon continues south of Quere-
taro, according to advices from villa
sources today. These advices assert
that the Obregon troops have been
unable to make any Roadway in their
advance north and that the villa gar
rson has inflicted severe punishme At
upon them.
The fate of General Felipe Angeles,
one OF General Villas lieutenants in
the battle at Monterey, Is causing
anxiety to Villa leaders here. He
commanded the city and Carranzistns
claim to have captured the place with
a large part Of the garrison. Nothing
has been heard by Villa officials from
Angeles in some days. hence they are
unable to discredt the Carranza
claims of victory. or to say what fate
has befallen Genera. Angeles Car
rancistas insist that they are gradual
ly drawing in upon the Villa army
from all sides. with Obregon pressing
north from Mexico City. They assert
that their forces will now press
against Torreon from Monterey. and
that they will send forces from Tam
pico in a few d".,.s to help in the cam
paign against la.
Three villa N.iators A. NJ. Wilson,
Eugene Heth and Jack Night, arrived
here today from the south to get some
aeroplanes which they assert have
been shipped from New York FIR the
villa army.
Wilson recently had narrow
escape while accommodating near

mistook him for Carranza aviator

introduction of large number of
bills by Senators and then defeated
the whole resolution. A motion was
made to reconsider the motion by
which tho resolution was lost and
he effect of such a vote would have
been to dispose OF the matter finally.
Especially heartfelt pleas by Senator
Lesner and others with pet measures
their constituents desired passed, pre-
vailed with the Senate to postpone re-
consideration until today and the res
olution thereupon went over.
Successor TO Mr.. Moon.
Senator Early introduced a Joint
resolution providing for the appoint
ment of IA new member of the Vir-
ginia State Debt Commission in the
place OF the late Hon. John Il. Moon.
Senator Early pointed aut that II was
customary for the body from which
the deceased member was elected to
fill the vacancy and so he thought 1t
proper that the Senate leave the ap-
pointment to the House OF Delegates.
This was consequently done. 1t Is
thought probable that Delegate u. II.
Pitts will he appointed.
The Senate took up the calendar
and dismissed the bills left over from
the first session OF the body. leaving
only new matter to be considered.
One exception to this Ia the bank
tax bill. No. 20, over which n deter
mined ight Is being made. In or
der to prevent consideration a motion
to adjourn the morning session was
introduced and finally passed. ieav-
the afternoon session this was the
only matter OF business before the
Senate and n motion was made to
postpone consideration OF the bill. On
a viva voce vote the motion was sus-
tanned. but a roll call was deman ded.
and the vote stood tie when Sena-
tor Early entered and voted for the
motion 10 pass by and. therefore.

of one against the passage Of the
bin.
Like Buzzards After Carcass.
Preceding the session of the Sem
ate in the afternoon there was a
lively session OF the Finance Com
mittee to consider the Cannon intan-
gihle tax bill. The question was a
public hearing and the bill was in
charge of its patron, Senator Can
non. Senator Cannon was outspoken
In his denunciation OF the State ex-
aminers of record. whom he termed
so many carrion birds focking about
the carcasses of rich men to gather
n few dollars for the State and incl
dentally to pocket neat sum for
themselves from the examination of
the estate. There were several
speeches against the measure by the
com missioner of the revenue from
Salem and other citizens Of that town,
Sentiment In the committee and In
the Senate seems to be strongly
against the hill. and the committee
did not act on II yesterday. Should
II act on II today 1t is deemed GER
tain that 1t will refuse to report the
bill or will report II with the recon-
mendation that 1t do not pass.

Railroad and Police Department de-
tectivcs are combing the city today in
an effort to find the man suspected OF
placing four heavy Jacks. a section Of
steel rail on the tracks of the Penn
sylvania railroad just inside the District
line early on Tuesday evening in an
attempt to wreck passenger train No. Z,
due from Philadelphia at $40 p. m.
discharged cmploye OF the road, who
had been working wit ha track repair
crew, is wanted by the detectives. who
are assured that some one Of recent
connection with the road did the deed,
as all of the tools piled on the track
belonged to the company and had been
taken from the section house recently.
Four jacks have been missed and three
of them have been found where they
were hurled when the train struck
them while travelling at a rate of not
less than mile n minute.
The front of the engine was battered
up by the flying steel, and two bars of
tho pilot were broken off, but no other
damage was done. The engineer stopped
his train as soon as possible and ran
back to where the obstruction had been
placed on the track, but saw no one.

CASE OF PRINCIPAL
OF SCHOOL DISCUSSED
Board of Education Considers
Protests Against Miss 1. E.
Moten, Colored.

In lust nine minutes the Board or
Education yesterday afternoon trans
acted routine business Then 1t went
into secret session and, for more than
an hour, considered three questions of
widest interest to Washington. These
were:
The use of school buildings for So
cial center and recreation work.
The matter of investigating charges
reflecting upon the ability of the
Principal of Normal School No. 2.
Discussing what action the board
will take regarding the mandamus
proceedings brought to compel 1t 10
restore Mrs. Carl A. Hellman as
teacher in the public schools.
Storm clouds gathered around the
discussion of the case Of Miss L. e.
Moten, colored, now principal OF the
normal school. generally known as
the Charles Sumner School. Some
members insisted that the present
filed by a school official. alleging her
incompetency. Others pointed out that
the matter was one for present action,
and should not be relegated to make
trouble for the new members of the
board when the new board is organiz-
ed in July.
For Early Discussion.
1t was agreed, after heated discus
sion, that the case shall be disposed
Of during the present school year.
Marked feeling exists between her
friends and opponents and a large
mass OF letters have been filed with
the board in regard to the case.
The board, 1t is understood, will get
legal advice about the case. This .decis-
ion followed the caution of one member
that the board had 'better go slow and
avoid any more law suits" Superin-
tendent Tnurston was empowered 10
look into the charges and he will report
to the next board meeting.
1t was decided to ask for the assist
ance Of the Corporation Counsel's Of
flee in defending the board against the
mandamus proceedings to restore Mrs.
Carl A. Hellman, who was auton.s*-
cally dismissed by the operation Of the
Rule A. when she married. In for

Other Matters Worry.


As to the employment of Individual
counsel Henry p. Blair, president of the
board. said he had not given the matter
much thought as "other things have
worried me more"
Consideration of other matters left
little time for discussion of the use Of
school, houses as social centcrs. Be-
cause of the supervision over such use
given the board the rules will be formu-
lated governing the general conduct of
the matter.
At the open meeting authority was
granted for the use OF the Mott School
for vocational and prcvocational classes.
The board expressed qualification at a
communication from the Commissioners
stating that the power of appointing
medical inspectors for the schools rests
with the board.
The board took final action looking to
cadets this year Word was received
from the superintendent of public
buildings and grounds that Rock Creek
Park may be used for maneuvers the
June o.. These maneuvcrs will be after
the order of the sham battle formerly
held at the White House, but will be
much more extensive.
The following recommendations were
adopted by the board:
