Much Excitement at FL Paso.

ii Paso, Tex, April 17.-Much eX-
citement was caused here Sunday by
the report that Francisco Villa was
dead and that his body, which was
disinterred several days after his
burial. was in the possession of the
Carranza troops and was being taken
TO chihuahua. For more than a week
reports of Villas death from wounds
have been current here and at Juarez
but Sundays reports were apparently
the most circumstantial and reliable
vet received. The Mexican North
western dispatch at Juarez reported
to General Gavira, the Juarez COM
mander, that he had heard a conyer-
sation over the wires to the effect
that Villas body was in the posses
sion of Carranza troops, and the
operators at MADEIRA and Cusihuirach-
ie operators also sent confirmation OF
the report and that Villas body was
being taken to Chihuahua. The oper-
ator at San Antonio, which is fifty
miles west of chihuahua, said that
the body was in the possession of
Colonel Carlow Carranza, who is a
nephew of General Carranza.

Ell Paso, Tex, April H.
Confirmation of the Mexican
reports that Villas body has
been exhumed and is being
brought to Chihuahua is still
lacking at Juarez today.
Gabriel Gavira, the COM
mander of the Juarez Garrison,
said: 81 still feel reasonably
certain that Sundays message
over the Mexican land line, of
Villas body being found, are
correct"
A dispatch to Gavira at
1920 today from Cusihuira-
chic said that Villas body had
not arrived there, and the be-
lief is growing here that there
was probably an error in the
Mexico City message last night,
stating that Obregon had an
nounced the burial of Villa in
San Francisco Borja and is now
en- route to Chihuahua.

NORMAL SCHOOL AT HOME
Announcement Of Much Interest to
Young Teachers Of the County.

Upon his return to Oklahoma City
from. Ardmore, State Supt. Wilson no
tilted City Supt Richards that all per-
sons who complete the Normal Train
ing Course as prescribed by the Ard
more high school will beg ranted a
two-year teachers certificate. Partic-
ulars concerning the course may be
had by applying to Supt. Richards
This message is fraught with much
meaning to Ardmore young folks who
desire to teach. 1t means that they
have a normal school at their own door
that is given state recognition and
state certificate scan b eobtained with
out the expense of an examination or
a course at one of the normal schools
located away from home. 1t is pos
sible that the high school will gradu-
ally take the place of the normal
school.

WHITE WAY
SYSTEN0F
LIGHTING
HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED IN
THE CITY AND PEOPLE ARE
ANXIOUS TO KNOW WHAT is
GOING TO BE DONE.

The new method of lighting streets
which is popularly termed "the white
way has been demonstrated in this
city, and the citizens have had ample
opportunity of comparing it with the
old system.
The question which now cOnfronts
the city, according to statements of
city officials, is: Will the property
owners along Main street be willing
to install the necessary equipment,
and will the taxpayers be willing to
pay their share of the cost, if there
is any involved?
II. h. Foster, of the Ardmore Ice.
Light & Power company, al his own
expense, installed the block now in
operation, with the understanding that
IL was 10 be for the edificati0n OF the
citizens for certain period That
period is passed, and il is now up 70
the city to make the next move. and
either adopt the system or reject it
entirely.
The matter will probably be taken
up by the city commissioners within
short time. and some disposition
made of the white way question. The
concensus of opinion seems to be
that the system should be adopted,
along Main street, at least, and the
old method dispensed with.

OIL MANS PLAN
Louis Campbell Tips OFF War Depart
ment on Plan to Capture Villa.

nent on Plan to Capture Villa.
Louis Campbell, who is here from
Tulsa, representing the Magnolia
Petroleum company, has plan for
catching Villa which he recommends
to the war department of the United
States. His plan is for the govern
ment to give hira an allotment in
the Healdton field in Carter county
and start the lease scouts after him.
The plan was suggested to Mr..
Campbell in the Barney Thlocco in
cident which occurred in the Cushing
field. Barney Thlocco was said to
have been Greek Indian. BY accl-
dent he was given an allotment in
Cushing. The Indian is said to have
gotten in bad in some way, and went
20 Mexico 10 join one of the revolu-
tionary factions. Purchasers offered
fancy prices for his lease, but Barney
was gone. and his property could not
be purchased Scouts Immediately
left for Mexico and they succeeded
in finding about thirty Barney Thloc-
COS, all claiming to be the original
Barney, all claiming Creek blood,
all claiming TO have allotted the
land at Cushing. Mr.. Campbell is of
the opinion that the lease scouts
under the same circumstances could
bring Villa to the United States and
end the punitive expedition.

GREAT CROWDS
BRAY LEADS ROUSING SONG SER
VICE CROWDS OVERFLOW
BIG TABERNACLE - THREE
THOUSAND ATTEND.
(By DR.. j. w. Burns)


A rich mental and spiritual diet
has been the portion of Ardmore
people ever since Evangelist Williams
of Chicago, reached the city. At his
very first appearance he was greeted
with good-sized congregation,
which grew at each service, until
last night more than three thousand
people bent every effort to catch his
magic words in the lecture, "The
Bible: Is 1t From God?" At an early
hour mass of humanity began to
pour into the great tabernacle and
before the speaker addressed his au-
dienCe, scores were being turnd away
for lack of room. Chairs wre car
ried into the aisles and occupied,
many stood along the walls at the
rear of the building, and crowds
stood in the doorways. Perhaps
Ardmore never saw before such
demonstration at a religious gather
ing. Perfect order was maintained,
and every auditor was eager to catch
each note of the speakers voice. In
his free and pleasing manner of
speech the evangelist for more than
an hour gave striking reasons why
our Bible is from God. His proofs
We're conclusive, and completely fore
closed any other hypothesis.
Prof. H. ]. Bray and wife are at
their best, and they are leading a
chorus which last night was made up
of about three hundred fifty. Prof
Fray is a master at his work. AS
sisting the choir last night was an
orchestra which was enjoyed by all
Following the singing of a selection
last night, in which the chorus had
completely filled the volume of the
big tabernacle, Prof. Bray said: 81
never heard such singing as l am
hearing right here tonight" The
| evangelist then said: This is the
first time for over a year that We
have found our building too small
wish we had built it larger"
The services will begin promptly
each evening at 7:45. There will be
services tonight, but likely after this
there will be no services on Monday
night. Announcement of all services
will be made from time to time in
the columns of The Ardmoreite. To-
morrow we will be able to announce
the time and place of the cottage
prayer meetings to be held during the
| week.
Saturday night, the evangelist spoke
on the subject of revivals. He took
the book of Nehemiah for his text.
He told of how Nehemiah went TO
the king bemoaning the destruction Of
Jerusalem and its walls. The king
was good and gave him PERMISSION to
go and rebuild the same. A permit
was given him to use the resources
of the kingdom at so doing. Nehe-
miah went and met objections from
those opposed to the work for sell
fish reasons. So one person always
gets the first idea of a great under
taking. He communicates it TO 9th
ers, and the work begins. It's the
anxiety on the heart of the first in
dividual that starts it. The speaker
