Girl with her head already turned in
the wrong direction can resist the in
fuences she meets in such places of
detention.
There would be a chance for a
large percentage of such girls if
placed in a reformatory. Instead of
throwing them into influences worse
than those to which they have been
accustomed, as a means Of reform
ing them, the state should try to i'm
prove their envir The re-
formatory is a means to that end.
The question of the states finan-
cial condition should not influence
the decision of the Legislature in this
matter. If the people of the state
were starving because of famine, or
if they were suffering from fire, flood
or other disaster, the state would not
hesitate to open the treasury to give
them relief. The situation as to wom-
en- offenders is comparable to this in
it's seriousness. 1t is a real emer-
gency, none the less real because it's
existence has been officially ignored
for many years.
This is a proper expense for pos-
terity to share. Future generations
will use reformatory of this type
as much as the present 1t is classed
with permanent improvements and
it is a proper matter to be provided
for by a bond issue.
If the present legislature provides
for an institution of this kind it will
be at least two years before it could
be completed and that will be by no
means too soon. If the present leg
islature postpones action the matter
will be delayed not merely two years
until the next Legislature. meets, but
for such a period in addition as is
required to construct the plant once
it is provided for. This is a valid
argument for favorable action at this
session.

offenses with which they are charged
and are promptly acquitted in the
upper court. But the higher court
cannot give them back the days they
have served behind bars.
The proposed bill would preserve
for those accused of these minor
offenses the right to demand trial
before special sessions, if they so de-
sired, and would reserve to the dis
trict attorney the power to demand
that specified cases be so tried But
for the general run Of offenders there
would be a swift trial and, if the
facts warranted, a prompt acquittal.

END OF VILLA FACTION.
Leaders Elimination to Be Followed by
Surrender of Soldiers,

Ell PaSo, Tex, Dec 20.-Final ar
rangements for General Francisco
Villa to enter the United States ending
his participation in Mexican affairs.
We're to be made here at noon. accord
ing to information from authentic
sources. Preparations to this end were
begun on receipt of Secretary Ian
sings decision that Villa would be ac-
corded asylum.
The decision Of Secretary Lansing
was received here with interest.
Whether, If Villa entered the United
States he would be subject to legal
proceedings, seeking his oxtradition to
Mexico, was said to hinge on the at
titude Of General Carranza, head of the
de facto Mexican government.
This question Is said to have been
submitted to Carranza yesterday and a
reply was expected today.
Secret Conference Held.
The proposal to secure the elimina-
ton of Villa from Mexican affairs was
sent to Secretary Lansing and General
Carranza after a secret conference of
United States military, state and local
officials with representatives Of Car
rama and Villa.
Among the eonferccs the opinion was
expressed that the elimination Of Villa
overshadowed the contention Of the
right to prosecute him on charges of
a serious nature. The belief was ex-
pressed that advantages accruing to
Mexico and United States thru the
control by one government Of all
Mexico should govern future actions
Of the parties to- the conference.
In local circles 1t was believed that
in return for immunity a new leader
would be elected to head the Villa gov
ernment, and II full guarantees were
offered, this leader would turn over the
entire military and civil organization
in villa territory to Carranza authori-
ties. -sf5Ei$
Tho unnamed, the leader proposed
was reported to be Governor Aviila, Of
Chihuahua.

; State department agents had re-

requested Villas Immunity from ar

believed Villa would abandon the fight
against Carranza and retire to private
life in the United States.
The state department does not con-
ceal its desire to have Villa eliminated.
Without him the revolution in the
north will certainly fall. officials be-
lieve. The Intermediates also said
that the plans were intended for the
retirement from the, field of the entire
Villa army.
No Charges Pending.
Interest is displayed as to whether
Villa will l-saccept the promise OF inn
munity as a political refugee Such
immunity would not protect him from
prosecution in the United States on
CHARGES of an ordinary character.
This government has nothing on
which a charge will be brought against
Villa. butt is said local officials at Ell
Paso have information concerning ir-
regularities in cattle deals in which
Villa was involved and that this might
be made the basis Of prosecution.
Secretary Lansing announced that
Villa had the right to enter the United
States, and would be given the same
facilities for doing so as any other
foreigner. A dispatch to this effect has
been sent to General Funston.
