PREVENTING cRIMINALS.-Ten
years ago in Chicago three youths
were hanged. They were the famous
"car barn bandits" ALI under 81
mere boys-but the state took their
lives as penalty for the trail of crime
they had blazed.
The execution over, a little, care
worn woman came down the steps of
the county Jail. She was Mrs
Sophie Van Dine, mother of Harvey
Van Dine, one of the bandits. She
had just seen him hanged.
AS she reached the sidewalk, she
stopped and said: my boy didn't
have a chance. Work forced me to
leave him alone most of the day Dis
ease and bad surroundings made a
criminal of him. It's over now, but
I'm going to devote the rest of my
life to saving other boys"

THE HUMAN SIDE.

Diego exposition has been voted
success by the majority of it's patrons.
AS one visitor puts it: cit is so in
tensely human, so intimate, that one
feels at home the moment he passes
through the turnstile."
San Diego has entertained many
notables. 1t has had special days
without number.
OF the many, one held last week
sounded the keynote of the Panama
California exposition's noted success
It was 'InvaHds' day" On this day
the shut-ins and unfortunates visited
the fair. The old, the sick and the
MANNED, afflicted ones from every
walk in life and every sphere of in
f1uence who, perforce, bask in Cali
fornia's golden sunshine but seldom,
were taken out in motor cars, donat-
ed by San Diego's more fortunate
citizens, and treated to a program
ranging from grand opera to specials
on the isthmus. Of course, it was
an event in their lives. When dusk
fell about them they were Ioath to
go home. For day, at least, they
were supremely happy. So was all
San Diego. Twas a little thing you
will say, perhaps. True, but eVidenc-
ing the human touch the San Diego
ans have impaired to their expo.

who held an equal rank with him in
the Constitutionalist army, because
the latter refused to accept his unau-
thorized dictation and withdrew Cen
eral Hill from Sonora in order that
Governor Maytorena, Villas ally,
might control the situation and array
that State against Carranza's author
1ty, that in frenzy of anger he at
tempted to kill Obregon. Fortunately
being restrained from this by subor-
dinate officers, he mechanically placed
Obregon under arrest. These events
happened but a few days before the
time that the Mexico City convention
was to assemble.
When Carranza was informed of
Villas unwarranted persecution of
Obregon, he ordered the train service
north of the City of Aguascalientes,
some distance south of where Obre-
gon was held by Villa, discontinued
temporarily from Mexico City, until he
could determine whether or not Villa
intended his treatment Of Obregon to
presage hostile military movement
against Carranza.
Villas lnsolencc.
Villa sent telegram to Carranza
asking him to explain what he termed
this hostile action against his division
of the North. Carranza sent him the
following reply: Before answering
your message which l have Just re-
ceived desire an explanation of your
conduct towards General Obregon in
Chihuahua" Instead of Villa giving
the requested explanation to his su-
perior officer he replied insolently that
he would no longer recognize Carran-
"a the First Chief of the Republic.
In explanation of this traitorous con-
duct Villa gave the ridiculous and pet
ty reason that he had broken with Car
rama and was willing to plunge the
country into civil war, because Car
rama did not have sufficient intelli-
gence or ability to govern Mexico. How
farcical this statement really was can
be best understood when it is ex-
planned that Villa can scarcely read
or write and has never read a single
book in his life, whilst on the other
hand CarranZa is a man of education,
culture and business experience.
The convention that Carranza had
called to meet in Mexico City opened
it's sessions on the appointed day. Car.
rama rendered his resignation as First
Chief to the convention and asked the
delegates to accept it If they thought

deavor to persuade Villa to send rep
resentatives to the convention. After
wards it usurped sovereign powers
that it did not possess and which
Carranza never sanctioned. But Car
rama, putting aside the considerations
and rising nobly to the demands of the
situation, expressed to the conven.
ton in writing his willingness not
only to resign as First Chief in charge
of the executive power of the nation
but to become an exile from his coun.
try If the delegates ask this of him
The single condition that he stated
must govern this abdication was that
Villa should resign his command OF
the Constitutionalist army of the
North and If the convention so de-
creed, must also leave Mexico.
Story of Convention.
The convention on November 9Th
passed a resolution calling for the re-
tirement of both Carranza and Villa
Antonio I. Villareal, Chairman of the
convention, thus describes subsequent
events:
After the absurd selection of Gen
eral Gutierrez as Provisional Presi
dent for 20 days, which had been done
in Difference to the wishes of Zapata
myself and three others were commits
stoned to serve notice on the First
Chief that he was to resign. Villa
had already agreed, so his representa-
tives stated, to tender his resignation
We would have shortly secured Car
ranza's retirement had not General
Gutierrez, bullied into action by pres,
sure brought upon him by Villa, sum
moned the latter to Aguascalientes
and placed him in command Of all the
military forces in the country.
This act violated the previous reso
luton of the convention and was con,
trary to its own mandates, or in other
words, contrary to the desires of what
was left of it, as it must be remem.
bered that out of the 1855 registered
delegates many had withdrawn for one
reason OF another until at last there
were only so members left and IS out
of this go had been recalled by their
signatories. A quorum in the conven.
ton necessitated 70 delegates.
"a brief resume of the situation at
this critical time might be stated as
follows: We said to Carranza: Retire
or we will fight you, your retirement
being made with the understanding
that Villa will be forced to withdraw.
We said to General Gutierrez and tc

greater part of the American people
also arrived at the understanding of
the patriotism that had prompted Car

ers and governors of States who had
signed the plan of Guadalupe to meet
in convention on October LIST, in Next
co City, for the purpose of drafting
a program of reforms and to name a
date for the calling of general cleo
tons
Villa, ever since his first break with
Carranza, had been throwing obstacles
in the way of a successful pacification
of the country. In order to show him
that he harbored no i'll feelings Car
rama named Villa to go with General
Obregon on peace mission to settle
local strife in the State of Sonora.
Villa in the course of these negotia-
lions became SO incensed at Obregon,

thereby such action would be con
ducfve to establishing permanent
peace in Mexico. The convention
unanimously rejected his resignation
and passed vote of confidence in the
First Chief.
Villa and his army of the North had
refused to send delegatC9 % this con

stitutionalist army, certain leaders
among the Constitutionalists proposed
that a commission be sent to treat
with Villa and that the convention
itself adjourn from Mexico City to
Aguascalientes. Carranza, foreseeing
as afterwards came to pass, the fulfil
ity of this action, opposed it, but final
ly allowed the delegates of their own
volition to move to Aguascalientes to
treat with the chiefs of the Northern
Division.
