MORE GEMS BEING IMPORTED
Gain of ST 200, 900 In Duties During
October Reported by New York
Custom Officials.

New York, Nov. 5.-That there will
be no shortage in the stocks of dia-
monds and other precious stones for
the holiday trade, because of the war,
is the belief of customs officials here
charged with the appraisal of the
gems. Imports which have been in
creasing enormously for several
months took a big upturn in October.
All classes Of precious stones, in
Guiding pearls, entered at this port
last month, had total value of $780,
955, a gain of nearly a million dollars
over September, when the imports
were valued at $2,104 ,292.
According to reliable reports the
condition brought about by the war
are forcing many European owners of
valuable gems to dispose of their hold
ings to American importers, while
the regular dealers abroad find the
United States the sole outlet for their
stocks.

Tins Were Shot When They
Requested Release.

FL Paso, Tex, Nov. 5.-The bodies
of two American Mormon colonists,
shot down by General Villas own

on Aqua Prieta. When the Americans
reached Ojitos Pass, Sonora, they
asked for their release from service.
Villas reply was to shoot them
down.
A friend brought them back across
the Chihuahua desert to their families.
One of the Americans has been identi-
fed as a member of the Taylor family.
Washington, Nov. 5.-Carranaz
troops were the main offenders in fir

BRYAN REPLIES TO WILSON
SquareIy Against Presidents Ma
tionaI Defense Plans.

Washington, Nov. civilian Jen-
nings Bryan came out squarely against
President Wilson's national defense
plan today in a formal statement in
which he took issue with the Presi-
dents views as expressed last night
before the Manhattan Club in New
York.
ga departure from our traditions, a
reversal of our national policy,
menace to our peace and safety, and
challenge to the spirit of Christian
ity, which teaches US to influence 9TH
ers by example rather than by excit-
ing fear" is Mr.. Bryan's view of the
national defense plans.
The club, he said, was no place for
the enunciation of such a program as
it was the zone place in the United
States where the Mammon-worship-
ping part of the Democratic party
Ceet to exchange compliments
81 have read the Presidents speech
at New York with sorrow and con-
cern," said Bryan. ''He is doing what
he believes to be his duty, but 1 feel
it my duty to dissent. We cannot crit
icize his motives, as he has given his
views with clearness and emphasis,
but those who differ with him are I'M

selves with equal clearneSS"

4 KILLED BY MEXICAN SHELL
Villa Reports Death of American Red
Gross Party by Bullets from Guns
of Gen. Gales.

Naco, Ariz., Nov. 5.-Francisco Viii
la reached the border opposite here
today with 300 of the army defeated
by Carranza forces at Aqua Prieta on
Monday, telling American army Off
GERS that DR.. T. H. Thighen, chief sur
geon of the Cananea Consolidated
Copper Company; his assistant, DR..
Miller, and two American chauffeurs,
J. D. Pylant and A. L. Wilson had been
killed yesterday morning by Gales
fire in front of Aqua Prieta.
The Americans were aiding wound
ed. Wandering into the line of fire,
all were shot down while under Red
Cross flag. They were buried where
they fell. Villa, while formally ex
pressing regret at the deaths, declined
tonight to say where they are buried.
He would not permit any bodies to be
disinterred even to clear a doubt that
they actually had been killed.
This doubt was caused by the state
ment of DR.. Frederick H. Wickman Of
ST. Louis, Mo-, who dashed across the
line this afternoon shouting that he
was about to be shot, and afterward
declared he had seen Drs. Thighen and
Miller at o'clock last night. Wick
man, however, appeared to be some
what dazed from fatigue and the ex-
perience which he declares he under
went while under death watch await
ing execution for some unknown Of
tense.
Four thousand of Villas men are at
Villa Verde, a watering station twenty
seven miles south on the Naco-Can-
enea railroad. Another detachment
was reported tonight to be footing
stores and residences at Cananea.
Villa began receiving supplies as
soon as he reached Naco and said he
personally intended to leave tonight.
1t was believed that he would go to
Nogales, where the army here would
follow him, while the force at Villa
Verde would be left to oppose any pur-
suit by the Carranza forces under
Gales at Naco. Another attack on
Aqua Prieta by the Villa army ap-
peared to be a distant prospect.
Shortly after he appeared at Naco
with a detachment bringing more han
100 wounded men, Villa came up to the
boundary to make report of the
death OF the four Americans.
