BUSBY AND INSULT DON'T FIT
ON TRACTION OPINIONS
Len Busby, the lawyer who is
president of Chicago Surface lines
and runs our street cars, took the
stand before the legislative commit
tee in Hotel La Sale yesterday and
directly contradicted the advice Of
the day before from Sam insult.
Where insult says we need a state
commission to run Chicago gas and
traction lines, Busby says the city
council would make the best gov
erning body. He said the aldermen
are closer to the people and know
more about what Chicago needs than
any Out-of-tOwn- experts. Busby was
followed by AID Merriam, who said
he too would rather have the strap
hangers of Chicago hold power over
the utilities than dowRstate farmers.

PARRAL FACING CRITIC
AL SITUATION.
MAY Be GUT OFF
Reports Indicate That Small Detech-
2nent is i'm Territory Filled
With Hostile Bands of
MeXicans

Ell PASO, Texas, April 1.-THE
American troops around Parral are
facing u critical situation, according
to reports received here today. A
supposedly Villista band, defeated
by Americans at TrOya last Monday
retreated toward Parral, an official
Mexican report stated. The United
states cavalry troops who pursued
the bandits found the sentiment at
high pitch against them at Parral
and the clash with the Mexican in
habitants followed Wednesday.
Reports have also been received
of VilIista or Independent bandits
being between the American adj
yanced forces and the San Antonio,
Mexico, base. One report was that
party Of 300 bandits attacked IA
cattle train one mile from Parral.
This force may have been among the
Nexicans who fought the Americans
ir the streets at Parral. Another
force defeated the Carranza garrison
a, piIia de Cosishos and drove them
nack toward Parral, and the de fecto
troops at Del Vale were also beaten
nv the guerillas. If the Carranza
garrison at Parral joined the Willis
tas against the Americans the situa-
tion has become serious, IL WAS all
mitted. The question Of whether
the Carranzistas took part In the
fighting at Parral is regarded as Inn
portant.
The Mexican account Of the battle
nosted in Juarez stated that the
y;I,istas attacked the Americans who
entered Parral by mistake. Consul
/ catci, said the attack was made b,
citizen, and not soldiers. who oppos
oil the Americans entering the city
otber reports said the officers OF the
garrison could not control the sol
diers and they took part in the bat

The Villa hunt u still ON.
Though Major General Funston
was inclined To believe that the In
cident at Parral might precipitatc
a crisis he has received no official
word "a Ia Developments, and until
Villa Is captured or killed or the
war department orders the with
drawal of the American forces the
bandit hunt will be continued with
the same vigor that has carried the
American soldiers four hundred
miles into the interior of Mexico.
Army officers ut General Fun
stoI's headquarters are anxiously
awaiting the first telegraphic word
from the $50 Americans who were
attacked by Mexican civilians at
Parral.
No reports have been received
from General pcrshine since dis
patches front Mexican Official sources
bsDught word of the affray. The
latest dispatches Indicated that the
fighting is continuing. convincing
army officials that the attacking
Mexicans greatly outnumber the
American patrol forces.
In "a second outbreak many are re-
ported to have been killed and the
American cavalry is reported to
have turned machine guns on the
Mexican mob. The American troop
ers, who are probably under COM
mand of Major Tompkins, evidently
had broken free from the main col
umn on rush southwark to the
mining town. II IL feared that Mex
leans may have cut off the retreat
OF the Americans and thus prevent
the news from reaching General
Pershing, and the Americans might
suffer serious casualties in fighting
their way out.
Major General Funston and mem
bers of his staff regarded the fight
ing as n result Of hysterieal Mexi-
cans who are unfamiliar with mt
tional events. Parral has long been
n Villa stronghold and the people
there are likely To be misinformed.
That the situation is becoming Sc
