was defeated after a vigorous speech
by Mr.. Stone of Washington, who took
up the whole question of cotton ex-
periments, showing how they had re-
suited in immense benefits. This is
the first time during the session that
an appropriation committee amend
ment seeking to trim bill has beer
turned down flat.

prior to the breeding season.

Hospital For South Mississippi.

The lower house of the Mississippi
legislature held its first evening ses-
sion on the night of March 7, when it
passed the senate bill of Senator Wal
ley providing for the establishing of a
State Charity Hospital in South Mis-
sissippi The bill provides for the
appointment of board of five trus-
tees by the governor, and to them is
left the selection of location for the
proposed institution. The governor
will sign the bill. AS 1t passed the
two houses the bill does not carry any
appropriation, but this is expected to
be provided in another measure. The
bill provides the trustees shall select
the town offering the best induce
ments as the place for establishing the
institution.

Money For Centennial.
One OF the most important measures
to be disposed of in the lower house
during the past week was the appro-
priation bill for the State Centennial
Exposition. Practically an entire fore
noon session was devoted to debate on
the bill making an appropriation. by
bond issue, of $125.000 to be devoted
to the aid of the Mississippi Centen-
NAL Exposition. Decidedly fierce at
tacks were made on the bill by the
extreme low pressure contingent, but
it passed by good margin. The point
was raised that the bill provides for a
donation, and is not an appropriation,
and would therefore require four
fifths vote in order to carry, but this
was ruled out. The vote on the bill
was 83 to AZ.

VILLA lNvADES THE U. S.
Seventeen Americans Are Killed When
Columbus, NJ. NJ, 10 Attacked and
Rurned-Troops Follow Raiders.

Burned-IroopS FOLLOW Raiders.
Columbus, N. M.-Francisco Villa.
outlawed Mexicon bandit, has raided
United States territory. With 500 men
he attacked Columbus March 9, killed
at least II Americans and fred many
buildings before he was driven back
across the international bridge.
Not les than $50 troopers of the Thir-
teenth United States Cavalry followed
the Villa bandits into Mexico. Reports
to Col. Slocum, commanding Ameri-
can troops here, state that Villa had
made stand five miles south of the
border, where spirited fighting took
place. In this engagement private
was killed and Capt George Williams.
adjutant of the Thirteenth Cavalry,
was wounded.
The small detachment of troopers
under Maj Frank Tompkins and Capt.
Elmer Lindsey, fighting dismounted,
made determined stand against the
renewed Villa attack.
The raid on American territory prov
ed costly to the bandit chieftain. The
bodies of Is bandits, including Pablo
Lopez, second in command, were
gathered and burned and troopers re-
ported an undetermined number Of
dead still lying in the brush. Led to
the attack under the slogan, Death to
the Americans" Villas follows fought
with desperation. Just before dawn
they crept along bitches skirting the
United States cavalry. camp, and rush
ed the sleeping town, firing heavily.
The first volley brought American
troopers into almost instant action.
While portion Of the raiders engaged
the cavalrymen others began applying
the torch and shooting American civ.
ilians who ventured from the build
ings. Lights in homes and public
buildings Immediately became targets
for snipers posted at Villas direction.
Other bandits creeping close to Amer.
lean homes, enticed a number of civ
ilians into the open with English
spoken invitations. A number of IA.
talties are attributed to this ruse.
Stores were looted, oil was poured
upon frame structures and the match
applied by still other bandits. The
postoffice was raided, but the looters
secured only one small registered
package.
Many civilians barricaded them
selves in their homes and fired at the
Mexicans as they darted through the
streets. The fighting in the town end
ed almost as suddenly as it began.
Less than two hours after the first
shot was fired Villas buglers sounded
the retreat and the raiders began
disordered flight, closely followed by
American troopers.
The casualties of the Thirteenth
Cavalry in the fighting at Columbus
were seven killed and six wounded.
Villas total losses in the days fight
ing were estimated in excess of 100
killed and about as many wounded.
The American pursuit into Mexico was
reported to have accounted for more
than Is Mexicans killed and wound
