$50, 900 REWARD FOR VILLA,
JOHN r. X. SCOTT'S PROPOSAL

WASHINGTON. March 23.--Ffty
thousand dollars reward for the delivery
of the body of Francisco villa is proposed
by Representative John II. X. Scott of
Philadelphia. in n joint resolution which
he introduced in the House today. Mr..
Scott declared that in his opinion such a
reward would make possible the capture
of the Mexican bandit without loss of
American soldiers and would be cheaper
from money standpoint than conducting
a long expedition.
MY thought is that such reward
would be an incentive whereby many
Mexicans would be stirred to activity.
and, knowingI the country as they do. it
would not bean easy matter for the muir
derer. villa, to find any secure hiding
place" said Representative Scott.
1T is question whether he would
even be safe among his own band of fol-
lowers once they became apprised of such
an offer, as their sole object of existence
seems to have been for purposes of MUIR
der and loot"
The resolution was referred to the For
eign Relations Committee.

statement made in San Francisco by

She already has undertaken expansive
schemes, with reference to the postal

Since the war began in Europe,
continued DR.. Starr, more than 1000
new millionaires have been made in

possession of the Japanese nation and
a wave of speculation is sweeping over

Japan's trade with India had increased

this development lay the possibility of
future commercial competition with
Great Britain.
During his stay in Japan DR.. Starr
