NUMBER STORES CONFlSCATED
And Their Business Taken
Over BY Rebel Chieftain
For His Own.
SEALS PLACED ON THE DOORS

Ell Paso, Tex, Aug. 2.--"The
American Government can go to
hell, declared Gen. Francisco villa,
addressing a gathering of foreign
merchants at chihuahua City Satur-
day.
Shortly afterward he confiscated
number of their stores. Forty-two
Mexican merchants were jailed af-
ter the conference held Saturday
for the purpose of raising forced
loan. Six were executed. Such was
the substance of reports brought
, here to-day by foreign merchants.
According to the reports brought
here by merchants, Gen. villa
stamped up and down the room
where foreign and Mexican business
men were assembled Saturday in
the Governors palace and shook his
fist in the faces of the thirty or for
ty present. Some of the foreigners
were escorted to the meeting under
guard.
81 am going to take your business
for the benefit of the State" he de-
clared. your employees will remain
here and conduct the business under
the direction of my agents-you
have been stealing from the people
for yourselves.
Tomorrow at noon train Will
be ready to take you foreigners to
the border. We are poor here and
: will not send bread or water on
the train. Meanwhile, you Ameri-
cans and Germans and Frenchmen,
my telegraph wires will be open to
YOU and you can protest to your
Governments.
eff the American Government
does not like my action it can go to
hell. have been fighting for TWEEN
ty years and l am willing to fight as
many years more"
The TRADE ended, it was said,
with a general order for confiscation
of all stores in Chihuahua by the
Villa Government.
Among the foreign firms affected
is the general supply store of ketel-
sen & Degatau, the hardware BUSH
ness of Krakauer. Fork & Moye. the
jewelry store of f. H. Booth, the
merchandise store of L. w. Thomp-
son, the dry goods house of William
hoI n Af
Among the other plants taken
over by the Villa Government is the
Jabonera Cotton Seed Products
Company, said to be British corpo-
ration, representing an investment
of about $5,OOO,O0O. This company
is known to have already paid a
quarter of a million in loans to the
Villa Government.
The State Treasurer of Chihuahua
was ordered to place the State seal
on the doors of all confiscated
stores, according to merchants who
arrived to-day, and Gen. Villa is al
legged to have declared that II seal
was broken, the owner of the store
would be shot.
1t was in the face of these events
that a second meeting of the mer-
chants with Gen. Villa was called
for yesterday, in the hope of secur-
ing a modification of the wholesale
confiscation. The result of this
meeting has not reached the border.

DEFENSE RESTS.
Thaw Testifies That Roger
Thompson, the Chauffeur
Did Not Know Who He Was
When They Left Asylum.

New York, March 1.-THE defense
in the trial of Harry K. Thaw for con-
spiracy in escaping from the Mattea-
wan asylum rested this morning after
calling several character witnesses
for Roger Thompson.
Thaw resumed the stand for cross
examination today. He said he did
not remember who first advised him
he could leave Matteawan because he
was sane. AS to who advised him he
would be breaking no law, he be-
lieved Justice Morschauser of West
Chester county had so advised his
counsel.
Where did you pay Butler for his
services
In Manchester. n. H. replied
Thaw, who added that the $4,000 was
paid in cash.
You told your counsel you were
sane. Do you believe you ever were
insane?"
That's a matter the district attor-
ney of this county and alienists have
answered.
DO you believe you were sane
when you killed Stanford White p"
Thaw's attorney objected and was sus-
tanned. Similar ruling applied to
question as to just when Thaw be-
lieved he had recovered his reason.
On direct examination Thaw said
Roger Thompson first knew who he
was, after the flight in the automo-
bile had started.

HOW THE IRISH FIGHT!

Winnipeg, Man, March 12.-
Lance Corporal Michael O'Leary,
First Battalion of the Irish guards,
who has been awarded the Victoria
cross, is a veteran member of the
Royal North Mounted Police, en-
listing as a reservist last August.
He is a big strapping good natured
Irishman, popular with both Of
ficers and men. The exploit for
which he has just been distinguish
ed occurred February l, when
forming one of a storming party
which advanced against the
enemy's barricades. he rushed to
the front and himself killed five
Germans who were holding the
first barricade. After which he at
tackled the second barricade about
sixty yards farther on, which he
captured after killing three of the
enemy and making two more pris-
oners. O'Leary thus practically
captured the enemy's positions by
himself and prevented the rest of
the attacking party from being
fired on.

TURN over FEES!
Senate Passes Bowman Bill Set
tling State Office Controversy.
All Officials Required to Give
State Money to Treasury.

The senate this morning passed the
Bowman bill requiring state officers
to turn over to the treasurer for the
general revenue fund. every cent of
fees collected by them or their sub
ordinates. The Bowman bill will set
tie the question about fees in the Of
fices of state treasurer and auditor in
which offices certain fees amounting
to about $4,000 a year are still claim
ed and legally held in addition to the
salaries that go with the offices.
The bill enacted today by the senate
is an outgrowth of the discussion over
the treasurer'S and auditors fees,
which have already been the subject
of a senatorial investigation. At the
request of the senate, earlier in the
present session. the attorney general
made "A special report affirming the
legality of the acts of State Treasurer
Earl Akers and State Auditor w e
Davis in retaining certain fees while
turning over to the general revenue
fund all other fees collected by them
1t was the opinion of the attorney
general that the remaining fees could
not be cut off without a special act
which could not become effective
during the terms of the present in
CumbentS.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1915-03-12

til he has all the details in his hands
the president will take no action.
Meanwhile, officials are expecting
that Germany will open the matter of
her own volition. They expect the
German foreign office to take . the
matter up either with Ambassador
Gerard at Berlin or through Ambassa-
dor BernStOrff in this country.
The sinking of the Frye was an un-
friendly act, according to the con-
StructiOn placed upon the case by in
ternational law eXprts, and Germany
will be expected to disavow the act
and promise to punish the man re-
sponsible, the commander of the Prinz
Eitel Friedrich.
The United States can do no less
than insist on this, officials here say.
But there is no belief at the capital
that there will be any break in rela-
United States. The case is one for
diplomats to settle, the officials be-
ieVe. They expect eventually any de-
mandS which this government shall
make will be granted.
The demand of Samuel Sewall of
Bath, Maine, one of the owners of the
Frye, that the officers of the German
rates will be ignored. There is no in
tention of in any way interfering with
the commander of the Eitel or any of
his men.
complete report on the entire
Frye incident was en- route to the
treasury department from Collector
Hamilton at Newport News. This in
cluded the stories of the captain and
crew of the Frye and the report of the
to the collector, telling just why he
sank the F'rye
