MONEY MYSTERY
 BELIEVED SOLVED
ARREST OF RAILWAY MAIL CLERK MAY ACCOUNT FOR
 SCATTERED MONEY.

Lcavenworth, Kan, March 24.--A mystery in One flood of money that a year ago swept over a large section of this city, enriching many people who gathered $1O and $20 gold certificates from fence corners, bushes, weed patches and branches of trees was de- clared solved today by postal au- thorities who announced the arrest in Kansas City Kan, of Charles Old field a railway mail clerk, Oldfield is charged with the theft of $25000 from a mail pouch sent in April, 1912, from Chicago to Pasadena, Cal.
 When paper currency began to ap- pear in the streets of Leayenworth in March, 1913. many persons be- lieyed it to be part of S50,000 stolen in 1908 from a mail car in Kansas City and for the theft of which Chas A. Stevens, a negro. was convicted and sent to prison Stevens had rela- tiyes here. Postoffice inspectors Ob- tained specimens of the money found and began an investigation.
 According to the postoffice authori- ties the money was traced through serial numbers on the bills as part of mail shipment from the Continental Commercial National bank of Chicago to the First National bank of Pasa- dena This shipment, mailed April 3, 1912 disappeared and the mail pouch in which 1t was alleged to have been placed was stuffed with waste paper when it arrived in Pasadena.
 It is the theory of the postoffice in- spector who investigated the case that the money was brought by Oldfield to the home of his father here and that high winds were responsible for scat. tering it from the place where 1t was hidden
 B F. Odfield, father of the man ar- rested, was questioned today by post office inspectors. He said he did not J,now of his son ever having such a sum of money as the amount stolen.

Washington, March 24-Reports to the state department and to the Mex ican agencies here late today told Of an impending battle for possession of Matamoros, the port across the Rio Grande from Brownsville, Texas, which apparently is to be the scene of the first real fight of the Villa cam paign against the east coast of Mex ico. Some of the dispatches indicated skirmishes already had taken place.
 According to a statement issued by the Carranza agency, the citizens of MatamOros at public mass meeting today determined to organic to sup port General Naffarete, the Carranza commander, who was said to have garrison of 5000 men entrenched and provided with artillery and machine guns. Generals Castro and De Lara were said to be on the way with rein forcements.
 A state department dispatch from Brownsville announced the Villa force marching against Matamoros was 5000 strong and had reached a point very near the town.
 Secretary Bryan and Secretary Dan- iels continued today to inquire into conditions In Yucatan, where tllo sisal crop upon which American twine manufacturers depend is imperilled. Delegations of independent twlne manufacturers vlstetd the state de- pertinent urging that everything pos sible be done to assure safety and transportation to the crop.
 Secretary Daniels said a warship would he assigned to convey money for the movement of the crop if neces- sary, but that so far no action had been taken.
 Colyille Barclay, counsellor of the British embassy, called at the state department late in the day and was assured that the port at Progrsso, Yucatan, remained open, and that quiet prevailed in the slsal district. Belated letters received at the em- bassy, MT. Barclay said, related to the burning of some sisal owned by Brit iah interests.

Icarranza Declares Slavery Exists in
 Yucatan.

San Antonio, Texas. March 24.-A message from Vera Cruz says that General Carranza declares that the abolition of slavery in it's worst form in Yucatan will more than repay the trouble and annoyance to sisal dealers in the United States. Carranza says the reported scarcity of labor in Yuca- tan was not due to the war conditions but to the fact that owners of large plantations disposed of their slaves. and in many instances sent them out of the country to save them from falling into the hands of the Carran- Zistas
 "The planters 100 per cent profits may be reduced to 50 or 60 per cent but the poor Mexican laborers," said ICarranza, Twill be made free and will reap the benefits of their work as free citizens"

London, March 2l.-10:20 D. m-- Russian armies, doubtless inspired by the victory at Przemysl, are pressing the fighting both in northern Poland and the Carpathians. where Germans and Austrians are giving desperate battle to stay the attempted advance of the Muscovites.
 Probably the struggle in the Carpa- thians will prove to be the one that presently will attract the most atten- tion, for even Vienna reports that strong Russian forces are now attack ing with great violence along the front extending for some miles from Uzsok. As Przemsyl is directly to is taking place for the possession of the heights which dominate the im- portant outlets from the north into Hungary.
 Regarding the operations in that territory, the Russians claim to be ad- vancing, and to have seized several fortified heights on the front between lilt iOdu0 ltdull6 lb ipdl LltAu anu Uzsok As Phzemysl is directly to the north of UZsOk it is to be eX- pected that endorsements will be sent as speedily as possible from the army which invested the fortress to and those who have been striving for months to capture the Carpathan passes.
 The Germans have brought up many additional troops in the north Of Pc land, where along the Narew and OrZyc rivers they have been pouring a deadly fire into the Russian ranks and have time after time undertaken strong offensive operations
 Notwithstanding this, however, the Russians claim to be making slow but sure progress capturing trenches and heights"
 The Austrians are again devoting their efforts to clearing Bukowina of the Russians and the Germans have forced the Russian detachments wlich recently occupied Memel, East Prussia, to retire.
 A British air raid on the Hoboken near Antwerp, where the Germans are constructing submarines; another threatened effort by the Germans in Flanders and heavy fighting in the 'Carpathians are the outstanding fea lures of todays war news.
 Five British airmen starting from lCunkirS took part in the raid on the submarine yards but only two of them reached the mark. Two were obliged to turn back owing to the thick weather and third was com pelled to land in Holland because Of engine trouble and was interned.
 According to a report issued by the British admiralty. two of the five sub- marines which were observed on the slips were damaged and the works set afire. Prior to the war this plant was known as the COckerill works. and be- longed to British company. When the Germans took over the plant a high fence was erected around it and no Belgian was allowed to enter Workmen were brought from Ger many to build the submarines. It is

freely l.. F. Sawyer, speaker of the house, and Senator Iundy, president of the senate, both say it's validity has been destroyed The action taken in Governor G. w. Hays office yester- day in changing the copy, which ac. tion was taken on advice of the attor- ney general, does not remedy the faults, they say. Both men said last night the changes were made without their knowledge, despite the lact they had signed the bill before it was cor rected.
 Both Mr. Sawyer and Mir Lundy supported the bill in the legislature, but both were surprised to learn that after they had signed the bill other officials authorized changes made in it.
 Sawyer Protests Act.
 Mr Sawyer, in speaking of the transaction, said:

 Senator Lundy, who heard MT. Saw yer give the statement, made the fol lowing sarcastic rejoinder:
 'I was not advised that a surgical operation was to lbe performed on the bill by the governor"

 It is said an effort will he made tC have the bill re-enrolled, with the cor rections included, and then present il 10 the speaker of the house, president of the senate and governor for thiel signatures In view of the fact that President Lundy is firm in his stand that the bill voted on 'by the senate on the final vote was not the bil passed hy the house, he might refuse to sign it
 When asked what he would do il case the bill is re-enrolled, Mr Lundy said he would wait until the occasion arose

MARTIN DIVORCE
 CASE STILL MAY
 BE TRIED OPENLY
Attorneys Apparently Un- able to Agree on Secret
 Hearing of Witnesses.

It is expected that the divorce suit of Rebecca Dale Martin, the local choir singer, against pr. Robert D.. Martin, the veterinary who resides in Broad street, will be heard in open court instead of behind closed doors as appeared probable yesterday. It was announced today that the motion to have the case referred to a com naittee had gone off the short calender list. It was to have been argued to- day. before Judge Williams. Lawyers on both sides must agree before the court will appoint a committe so evi- dently counsel could not reach an agreement.
 The case has been given a special assignment for June for trial and as 1t is down as an uncontested case some lively testimony, may be expect ed. There is a. possibility that before the trial is reached the parties may agree to have it cIassed as an uncon- tested case Mrs. lIartin charges her husband with cruelty and infidelity He has filed a cross complaint, alleg- ing inf1delity with several correspond ents.
