She Sells "GOOd VIII"
Stamps But Officers
Get Wise; She Leaves

Peace on earth good will toward
men,"
This on a small stamp was making
money hand over hand for Mrs Betty
Graham until yesterday. She was en-
gagged in selling stamps among Tulsa
merchants, the monetary returns, she
said, to be used for the prevention
of tuberculosis She claimed that she
was representing the National Tuber-
culosis association of San Antonio.
However. according to an investiga-
tion of officials yesterday Il developed
that such an organization does not
exist, but instead it Is the National
Tuberculosis Sanitarium association
of FL Paso.
The discovery was first made by a
member of the Council of Women
when Mrs. Graham solicited her as
a likely customer. A few questions
soon confounded the saleswoman and
she left.
Chief of Police Burns was notified
and he placed two detectives on the
womans' trial. She left town yester-
day, officials say, after she learned
that she had been suspected.
II want to keep all such takers out
of Tulsa" said Chief Burns last night,
"because the field here for such an
endeavor. when an honest one. should
be reserved for Tulsa club women"

a Huerta Faction.

WASIIINGTON' April 22'-Con'
w sular dispatches received by the
Washington government from various
points in Mexico indicate that while
temporarily disorganized by the de-
feat sustained at Celaya, General
villa and his forces have by no means
been removed as a formidable factor
in McXiCo's civil war.
Officials at the state department are
guarding closely the reports received
from ConsulS in the territory Occu-
pied by General villa, as it is not de
sired to give out military Information,
but it is known that plans for another
battle with General Obregon, the
CarranZa commander are proceeding
rapidly.
Villas chief difficulty, it was
learned officially, is his lack of am
munition and until he replenishcs his
supply he probably will not risk an
other engagement. When he met OBJ
RECON at Celaya. villa had sent forces
to attack Matamoros. Neuvo Laredo,
Tampico and west coast towns, greatly
depicting his main force. Indications
now are that he intends to concentrate
all th ,ge forces in central Mexico for
another supreme effort against OBJ
RECON.

The Carranza forces are reported to
be well supplied with ammunition and
pressing the villa army closely north
of lrapuato. Carranza officials here
claim the Villa movement has been
given "A crushing blow from which it
will never recover

counter Revolutionary movements have
been current, though they are not
