There is apparently no limit to the
future possibilities of the wireless.

Gutierrez speciality of running houses bridges
and railroads earned for him the title of THE
Destroyer" He never displayed any such mill
tary ability as villa; but destruction is popular
with the Mexican soldiery. it must be remembered.
Gutierrez plundered and robbed with slight
heed to what Carranza and Villa were doing. He
seized property of Americans and put 1t to his
own purposes while Carranza ignored protests.
despite his title OF first chief
Last July he sent demand to Carr ordering
him TO resume all the Mazipul industries at once.
II must be remembered that the British company
had been closed down for months. There was no
fuel. no cars. no railroad tracks, and there was
no financial basis. Yet the order from the ex-
watchman read to start up the works, as North
Mexico Is now pacifed and there is no excuse for
delay"
II was physical impossibility, so Carr went
to carranza with a final protest. Carranza in
formed Carr he could delay resumption. and
for this Gutierrez seized 100000 worth OF ore
owned by the company and sought to sell 1t as
contraband, in which he probably succeeded.
Carranza has degenerated into the head of
band OF looters. The scenes accompanying his
evacuation Of Mexico City, it is learned. were
disgraceful The national treasury was robbed
of all except about 100000 pesos, which must
have been overlooked. Every ounce of gold and
silver in the mint was taken. Also there went

was not an entire rout. However, Obregon is q

Another man who should not escape mention
is Governor Jose Maria Maytorena Of Sonora,
whose men have been besieging the Carranza
general, Hill, in Naco. In Sonora Maytorena Is
supreme and he is idolized by the Indians He
is not friendly toward Americans, and there is a
welldefned conviction among the American army
officers along the border that Maytorena could
by word have prevented the snipers' bullets
which killed and wounded So persons from com.
ing over the international boundary line at Naco.
So far he has confined himself to the Northwest.
