The execution resulted in Venus
tiano Carranza's refusal to pardon
Santibanez and receive him again as
one Of his generals.
1t was said then that the first chiefs
reply was that his brother was willing
to die for the cause if necessary and
that he (Venustiano Carranza) would
have to see him die rather than par

The order went forth from Vera
Cruz Immediately, however, for troops
to be rushed into Tehuantepec to res
cue the captured general and his staff.
Apparently they arrived too late.

There Is a million and q quarter
bushels of wheat In Chicago today If
my investigation is correct" Mr.

These figures do not mean anything
unless it is granted that the condi-

Bile one. There are fifteen million
bushels OF wheat in Milwaukee and
a large amount has been shipped to

quarter bushels OF wheat IN Chicago.
there are seventeen million bushels
