AMERICAN WOMAN
 TELLS OF EXPERIENCES
FOR SIX DAYS WAS FORCED TO REMAIN IN HIDING WHILE
 VILLA WAS IN CHIHUAHUA.

Los Angeles, Cal. Dee. 11-Detai s Of personal appeals to Francisco Villa for consideration at his hands while he was in control of Chihuahua City, are recited in a letter received today from Ms Barnett Dannis, whose hus- band is proprietor of a general mer- chandise store there. The letter. to her son Samuel Dannis d Los An ge.es attorney, asserts that Vi,la WIS given one million pesos after he had threatened to burn Chihuahua City if tine silver was not forthcomng
 Villa also made threats. the letter says, to relieve Americans in Mexi- TO of all their property and yalaables. T1e Dannis store was footed
 Three times I went to Villas head quarters and asked him personally t-a; he aot disturb at least our house ,cld effects, Mrs. Dannis wrote her s0n. Villa treated me with utter con tempt He would not listen to any thing asked him, but said everything Americans possessed would be takru away by the Mexicans and that or ders had been given to his men that what could not be taken should be de- strcyed. The fixtures in our store, the show cases, shelving and couA- Jegs were destroyed
 We stayed in hiding for six days. During taat time We had to have sonfe hing to eat and l dressed like na- tive woman and in that disguise managed 10 reach Nila's headQuart- CTS and also to interview Villa
 After footing tho city and making away with about s40o.N0 worth of merchandise, destroying and bning every building that bel nsed to for eiguers Villa stated that he had to have as much loot as possible, as the expedition to Chihuahua aaI cost him a great deal O. money.

PROHlBITIONISTS CHALLENGE
 LIQUOR MEMS FIGURES
DECLARE THAT NUMBER OF MEN EMPLOYED IN LIQUOR BUsl- NESS IS GREATLY EXAG-
 CREATED.

St. Louis, Mo- Dec 11.-A reply 10 the financial arsuments advanced in opposition t0 prohibition was given at the Federal Council Of Churches oi Christ here tonight by Rev. Charles stelzle. field secretary Of the council Mr. 5telzle said
 The average working man fears being out of a job more than he does going to hell. The liquor interest, Gave capitalized upon this fear and by presenting an array of figures which seem to prove that a calamity will follow the abolition of the sd loon they have persuaded large number of workingmen to vote for it's retention
 "The entire argument of the liquor men is based upon the absmdity that if the saloonkeeper fails to get q mans money nobody else can possibly get it. The fact is that if the money now invested in the liquor business were invested in the average Amerl- can industry. it would give em loy. ment to four times as many working men who collectively would resolve tour times as much in ue form )f wages and four times as much ra" material would be required than is now the case in the liquor business. These figures are basel upon study If the United States census returns

G0ETHALS RECOMMENDS

POINTS OUT HOW THE ZONE CAN BE A BIG REVENUE PRODUCER
 FOR THE UNITED STATES.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. Addressing more than l,oOO engineers at the an aua dinner of the Engineers Society of Western Pennsylvania here to- night, Major General George Goethals recommended the ab2ogatioa Of the Taft agreement with the republic of Panama and the establishment of complete sovereignty over the cana zone by the United States He also declared that the canal could be made to pay largely if it were allowed to en- gage in business other than that di- rectly concerned with the transit of shipping

 had detailed the profit accruing from

 as long as the land is used for the purpose for which 1t was ceded to 1 the United States We must allow all materials and supplies 10 enter the zone free of customs duties and eI- courage enterprise that will result.n | the building of great warehouses and show for the display of American goods If these things are done anl if We limit the administration or the interest of America and Americans. we will have done more to bring about better re ations With the people of the Central and South American coun-
