The body Of Joseph Enders, repor-

F. E. Stephenson, secretary of the

EXPERIENCING
COOLEST WEATHER IN YEARS

Kansas, City, Mo-, Jan. 1s.-The
southwest experienced last night it,
coolest weather in years and awoke
this morning to zero temperature
with a vision Of troubled day full of
bursted water pipes, intermittent gas
disordered train schedules and demon
allied wire communication.
Suffering and property loss incident
to the cold wave were accentuated by
the comparatively mild weather up to
this time. Stoclnien and fruit grow
ers, particularly, expressed fear of
large losses, the former because many
cattle had not been removed from
pasture when snow and sleet, driven
by an icy wind, began falling on the
ranges and the latter because fruit
trees had begun developing unusually
large and tender buds under the warm
winter sun.
Despite the abnormal temperatures
and blizzard conditions, only one death
directly due to the weather had beer
reported early today. John Cook, IS
years old, a laborer, fell in a snow
drift in st. Joseph, Mo. and died from
the exposure.
Kansas last night reported the cold
est point In the southwest, Dodge City
thermometers registering 35 degrees
below zero. Many other places shiv-
cred in temperatures Of zero to 20
below. Snow plows were employed by
the railroads in an effort TO mair-
tain schedules. Public schools and
Midland college at Atchison were
closed until the weather moderates
and the unusual demands upon the
natural gas fields diminish sufficiently
to operate them.
Telegraph and telephone c0mmuni-
cation throughout Kansas, Missouri,
Oklahoma, Iowa and Nebraska was
beste with difficulties because Of the
sleet torn wires.
In Kansas City, an unofficial tenn
perature of 8 below was reported at
midnight with the mercury still drop
ping. It was expected that weather
bureau records would show a minu-
mum of 20 below.

Ell Paso, Jan. 13.-Events in the
Mexican situation caused by the mas
sacre on Monday in Western Chi
huahua of eighteen mining men, most
ly Americans, moved with kaleida-
scopic rapidity here today. A pro
posal was made to form one thousand
Americans to run down the Villa ban
dts, held responsible for the murders;
signatures were asked to telegram
to Roosevelt urging him to influence
congress to cause a change in the
policy of this government" Wilson
was petitioned to remove American
Consul Edwards at Juarez on grounds
of alleged indifference to American
interests; the Ell Paso police arrested
Miguel Diaz Lombarado and General
Jose Prieto, Villa supporters, on
charges of vagrancy and announced
they would run every Villa adherent
out of Ell Paso, and word came that
a party of Americans and Carranza
soldiers had captured General Jose
Rodriguez, near MADEIRA, and that the
Americans were calling for help.
Later Carranza consul announced that
Rodriguez and General Almeida were
captured by Carranza troops and Al

cution ordered.
These men, former Villa leaders,

rnents are going TO aid their captors.
With this came a messenger to

generals, had defeated thirty-five

Ion in the state of 0axaca. There was

had deported Lomharado and Prieto
and about twenty other Villa adher-
ents.
The petition to Roosevelt went for

exodus of mining men ordered from
Mexico. The bodies of the eighteen
murdered men arrived early today.

AUSTRIA AND MONTENEGRO
HAVE DECLARED ARMIsTICE

London, Jan. 13.-It was learned
here that Austria and Montenegro
had come to an armistice. This is
being construed here as the last act
of Montenegro after having its capi-
tai, Cettinje, dominated by the Aus
trian control of Mount Lovcen. 1t is
considered doubtful whether King
Nicholas will continue the unequal
struggle, but the view of the best
posted men in London is that Monte
negro.has virtually passed under Aus
trian control.
The chief significance of this lie IN
the fact that Austrian possession Of
Montenegro gives the Austrians dom
nation OF the Atlriatic short, oppo-
site Italy, and lying along the main
Austrian offensive naval station Of
Cattaro, where today's dispatches an
nounce the entire Austrian fleet, in
Guiding three dreadnaughts, is assem-
bled and from which the recent naval
raid was made against the Italian
transports en- route to aid Serbia.
There are no more reports regard
ing the Teutonic attack on the Anglo
French before Saloniki, but Athens
reports the allies destroyed strategic
bridges in order to prevent the adj
vance.
On the Russian front terrific snow
storm seems to have halted the fight
ing. Artillery activity is chiefly oc-
cupying the soldiers on French and
Italian fronts.

United States Will Demand

Americans
RY Assoc1ATEp PRESS.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Eliso Are
dondo, ambassador-design of the
Carranza government, today assured
Secretary Lansing that Carranza
troops had been despatched to West
ern Chihuahua with orders to kill or
capture all bandits concerned in the
Staying of Americans. Arredondo
said every Carranza soldier in North
ern Mexico will be pressed into ser
vice if necessary.
Later Arredondo stated the men
who lost their lives had attempted to
reach their place of business before
the Carranza forces had accomplished
complete control of the region, and
they had been given permission, at
their own request, to pass through
the Carranza lines, but warned to
keep out of territory in which there
was Guerilla warfare.
During the day Lansing made it
clear the United States expected the
Carranza government to give evil
dence of the murderers punishment
and that, if proper steps are not
taken, an issue might arise between
the United States and the Carranza
administration. This was considered
significant of the United States de-
termination to enforce protection for,
Americans in Mexico. Lansing also
issued another warning for Americans
20 leave the Mexican districts where
there ii revolutionary trouble.

they would not call out their en-
