SHOT BY POLICE
Victor Hugo's powerful novel, lies
Miserables," has as it's principal fig
ure Jean Vatican. In the story Val
jean serves 10 years as a result Of
stealing a loaf of bread for a starry
ing family.
In Chicago today, where we are
supposed to be ever so much kinder
than France in the days of which
Hugo writes, two men were almost
shot to death by the police when they
were found stealing bread for starv-
ing family.
Early today Policeman Jake Schwe-
gel roaming around N. F. Johanson's
grocery store, 5305 N Robey, saw
two men in the act of going into the
breadbox outside the store.
Immediately Schwegel pulled a
gun. The police rule book says al
ways pull a gun when dealing with
desperate characters. And these
men were apparently bread thieves.
The men saw the policemen, OBJ
served the flash of his gun, and ran.
Schwegel started after them, fir
ing his revolver at the two fugitives.
A bullet whistled by the head of one
of the men and he stopped. Schwe-
gel arrested him.
AT the station the man gave his
name as Stanley Bardsak. He is 26
years old and lives at 1413 w. Erie
st. He has been one of the victims
of this jobless year. His family is
starving and he stole for them.

Villa and his army of the North had
refused to send DEBATES to this con-

difficulty between the Division of the
North and the remainder of the Con-

among the Constitutionalists proposed
that commission be sent to treat
with Villa and that the convention
itself adjourn from Mexico City to
Aguascalientes. Carranza, foreseeing,
as afterwards came to pass, the fulfil
ity of this action, opposed it. but final
ly allowed the delegates of their own

wards 1t usurped sovereign powers
that 1t did not possess and which
Carranza never sanctioned But Car
rama, putting aside the considerations
and rising nobly to the demands of the
situation, expressed to the conven-
ton in writing his willingness not

but to become an exile from his coun-
try If the delegates ask this Of him.
The single condition that he stated

Story of Convention.
The convention on November 9Th
passed resolution calling for the re-
tirement of both Carranza and Villa.
Antonio l. Villareal, Chairman of the
convention, thus describes subsequent
events:
After the absurd selection of Cen
eral Gutierrez as Provisional Presi-
dent for 20 days, which had been done
in Difference to the wishes of Zapata,
myself and three others were commits
stoned to serve notice On the First
Chief that he was to resign. Villa

tives stated, to tender his resignation

bullied into action by pres.
sure brought upon him by Villa, sum-
moned the latter to Aguascalientes
and placed him In command Of all the
forces in the country.
This act violated the previous reso-
luton Of the convention and was con-
trary to its own mandates, or in other
words, contrary to the desires Of what
was left of it, as 1t must be remem-
bered that out of the 1856 registered
delegates many had withdrawn for one
reason or another until at last there

ion necessitated 70 delegates.

who held an equal rank with him in
the COnstitutionalist army, because
the latter refused to accept his unau.

eral Hill from Sonora in order that
Governor Maytorena, Villas ally,
might control the situation and array
that State against Carranzas author
1ty, that in a frenzy of anger he at
tempted to kill Obregon. Fortunately
being restrained from this by subor-
dinate officers, he mechanically placed
Obregon under arrest. These events
happened Out few days before the
time that the Mexico City convention
was to assemble.
When Carranza was informed of
Villas unwarranted persecution of
Obregon, he ordered the train service
north of the City of Aguascalientes.
some distance south of where Obre-
gon was held by Villa, discontinued
temporarily from Mexico City, until he
could determine whether or not Villa
intended his treatment OF Oregon to
presage a hostile military movement
against Carranza
Villas lnsolence.
Villa sent a telegram to Carranza
asking him to explain what he termed
this hostile action against his division
of the North. Carranza sent him the
following reply: Before answering
your message which ] have Just re-
ceived | desire an explanation of your
conduct towards General Oregon in
Chihuahua" Instead of Villa giving
the requested explanation to his SUI
perfor officer he replied insolently that
he would no longer recognize Carran-
"a the First Chief of the Republic.
In explanation of this traitorous con-
duct Villa gave the ridiculous and pet
ty reason that he had broken with Car
rama and was willing to plunge the
country into a civil war, because Car
rama did not have sufficient intelli-
gence or ability to govern Mexico. How
farcical this statement really was can
be best understood when It is ex-
planned that Villa can scarcely read
or write and has never read single
book in his life, whilst on the other
hand Carranza Is man of education, !
culture and business experience.
The convention that Carranza had |
called to meet in Mexico City opened |
It's sessions on the appointed day. Car

"Don'ts" to Prevent Forest Fires.
PUBLIC's COOPERATION SOUGHT TO STOP
BLAZEs WHICH CAUSE BIG LOSSES.

To obtain the cooperation of the pub
lie in preventing forest fires which are
doing a great deal of damage in the east
this spring, the U. s. forest service has
prepared ten "don'ts" to be observed in
the woods. 1t is hoped that these rules
may have beneficial effect during the
fire season OF the southern Appslachans,
which is not get over, and that Of the
north woods, which is just beginning
and which, from present indications,
promises to be unusually severe.
The "don'ts" follow:
/. Don't throw your match away un-
til you are sure it IL out.
2. Don't drop cigarette or cigar butts
until the glow is extinguished.
8. Don't knock out your pipe ashes
while hot or where they will fall into
dry leaves or other inflsmmable material.
4. Don't build camp fire any larger
than is absolutely necessary.
5. Don't built fire against tree, a
log, or stump, or anywhere but on bare
soil.
9. Don't leave a fire until you are
sure it is out; If necessary smother 1t
with earth or water.
Z. Don't burn brush or refuse In or
near the woods il there is any chance
that the fire may spread beyond your
control, or that the wind may carry
sparks where they would start new fire.
s. Don't be any more careless with
fire in the woods than you are with fire
in your own home.
8. Don't be idle when you discover a
fire in the woods; if you can't put it out
yourself, get help. Where forest guard,
ranger, or state fire warden can be
reached, call him up on the nearest tele-
phone you can fiud.
10. Don't forget that human thought.
lessness and negligence are the causes OF
more than half of the forest fires in this
country, and that the smallest spark may
start copflagration that will result in
loss of life and destruction of timber and
young growth valuable, not only for
lumber but for their influence in helping
to prevent flood, erosion, and drought.
Many thousands of acres of forest and
suburban woodland from Maine TO Flor
ida, and from the Atlantic coast as far
west as Arkansas, have been burned
over already this spring by fires which
started for the most part from prevent
able causes. On the national forest pur-
chase areas alone, 40 fires occurred in
March, burning over more than $500
acres, while Al fires starting on private
land near or within government boundar-
les damaged nearly $500 acres. Fires in
April were even more numerous and
severe, but rains in the latter part Of the
month helped the situation somewhat.
Fire statistics for April are not yet
available
