FL Paso, Tex, April 1.-The story
of the murder of three Americans. u
German and nm Englishman at Min
aca, was brought here today by Amer
leans arriving from Chihuahua city
and was accepted as authentic by
federal officials
The bandits victims were Benja-

Ieet Two other Americans Henry
Acklin and Frank Woods. were in
Minaca at the time, but their fate is
unknown The news was brought to
chihuahua city by j. II. Locke, the
only American who is known to have
escaped the massacre
Death To "Gringo<s."
According to the story Villa cap
tured Minaca, Guerrero and San Isl
dro last Monday Everywhere he
went he announced his Intention OF
putting to death every "grlngo" that
fell into his hands and he carried out
his intention. As far rs the Mexicans
were concerned the bandit promised
safety to all those who did not take
up arms against him. No quarter
was shown to the Carranzista troops
who attempted to resist him.
The one gleam of light in the dark
story is the probability that Villas
blood lust is what enabled Colonel
Dodd to deliver his crushing blow at
san Geronimo ranch two days after
the crime of Minaca, blow that has
raised high hopes that the blood
thirsty brigand's days are now num-
bered. According to the refugees,
General Luis Herrera left Chihuahua
city on Tuesday with large number
of troops His destination was not
made public
Rumors of Villas Capture.
There were numerous reports in
El Paso today that villa was already

stories,
II was in the raid on Guerrero last
Monday that villa was wounded, be-
ing shot in the knee. according to

New York, Dec. New high rec
ords in commerce and industry for
the month Of November, with manu-.
facturers and traders pressed to the
utmost to supply enormous demands,
are shown in a review of conditions
made public here tonight by Pierre
Jay, chairman of the Federal Reserve
bank Of New York. The report states
that the further advance in prices
which began three months ago, has
developed into a widespread and rath-
or speculative movement in commod-
tiles and securities"
Referring to the high cost of living,
Mr. Jay says:
THE average salaried man finds it
burdensome to meet the additional
cost Of such necessities as food, cloth
ing, footwear and coal. Merchants
and large buyers of raw materials are
uncertain and anxious about making
large important commitments. Man
ufacturers of standard goods which
sell at standard rates may be obliged
to revise long established terms"
Pointing out that labor is fully en-
ployed at high wages, the review
adds:
1T is noted that saving is common
enough among the foreign element,
but often remarked that other work.
men are spending too freely for lux
uries and not taking advantage of an
unusual opportunity to lay something
by for a rainy day"
Comparing statistics of October,
1915, with the same month year
ago, 1t Is shown that building in New
York City represented $11, 542,SS0, an
increase of $2,150,255, and failures in
New York state numbered 1853, with
liabilities of $1,843,631, a decrease of
1888 failures and $6,113,510 in liabil-
tiles.
With the approach of winter, the
labor situation is expected to be
somewhat easier as certain outside ac-
tivities will cease during cold wealth

Soon after Mr. Arredondo's visit &c
them, Secretaries Lansing and Baker
separately conferred with President

From a military standpoint posses

tary control OF tho east portion of
north Mexico.
The most potent element with
which villa has TO reckon in any such
movement Is the American punitive
expedition In Mexico, spread out be-
hind him and fully equipped for any
emergency Officials here have not
the slightest fear OF the ability Of
General Pcrshing TO protect himself
