earthed yesterday by workmen who
were digging post holes in the alley

streets, when a bottle containing two
tiny forms was found buried in the
spot where the men were digging.
The forms were found to be those Of
foetuses.
The coroner and police were mott
fed and the bottle containing the foe
tuses turned over to James s. Bur
rows, acting coroner. for investiga-
ton. The bottle was wide necked
and the cork was found to have
rotted away
Further investigation revealed the
fact that the liquid in the bottle was
alcohol, and it was easy to trace the
find. The bottle had been buried as
It was taken from the laboratory of
DR.. Z. o. Sisson. The man who had
buried the bottle was found He had
been cleaning up the house in which

Cannot Withdraw Now

It is IS weeks since Santa Ysabel and nearly seven
since Columbus American troops have penetrated into
and beyond the region where the Santa Ysabe massacre
took place No doubt many of the bandits who took
part in the there and Columbus have been
lean columns, and of them have been killed,
wounded or taken prisoner.
But it is not true that the Villa bandits have been
effecually dispersed It is not true that they have
been beaten Il is not true that they have been duly
punished And so far anybody knows with degree
Of certainty, both Villa and Pablo Lopez, actual leader
Of the Santa Ysabe assassns still alive and at
large.
If it be at present impracticable to continue the
actual penetration and pursuit farther into Mexico, at
any rate the troops in Mexico should not be with
drawn until Villas body shall have been fully identified
There is every why the death of this should
be nsstently required by the American government.
1t will comply with every demand of justice if the
Mexicans themselves take Villa, try him under Mexican
laws and execute him; if they do away with him
in combat if the Americans take him alive find
his body.
Nothing less should be thought of by the American
government. The troops in Mexico should be
supported with sufficient forces to enable them to hold
their lines and bases safely under any circumstances
that may arise; the CarTanza government and the
Mexican people should be told plainly that the Amer
leans will remain Mexican soil until Villa is proved
to have been disposed Of and that they will withdraw
when satisfactory proof Of Villas death is given and
not before By this it is meant to say that American
troops shall stay in Mexico for many years if the
inacion of the Carranza forces the deliberate acts
