This Information was given out today at
army headquarters here. Whether Villa
has turned eastward to cut the railroad
between Chihuahua and the border or is
pushing north to attack the punitive ex-
pedition outposts is a matter of conjeo-
ture. Army officers here are confident
that the marauders will not attempt to
molest the American troops unless they
can ambush some small detachments.
The arrest last night of Hipolito Villa,
brother of the notorious bandit chief,
prevented the launching of an armed ex-
pedition into Mexico from the United
States, according to Department Of JUS

Villa came here four days ago from Ha-

WITNESSES DISAPPEAR
IN WHITE SLAVE CASE
District Attorney Believes They Are in
South America.

tBy the International News Sesyice.) }
New York, Sept. 1.-Two persons, whose
Importance as witnesses against police
men implicated in the crusade against
white slavery, cannot be overestimated
have been supplied with funds and have
made their escape to South America The
witnesses, a man and a woman. were re-
ported as getting ready to make their
get away yesterday. Today detectives at
tached to the Office of District Attorney
Swami got on the trail of the pair, but
they vanished before they could be ar
rested.
According to the little information that
could be obtained Of the escape, the
woman is white slave, and the man is
a SLAYER. The district attorney has no
fears that his case agains. the policemen
is jeopardized by the vanishing of these
two witnesses. Today Judge Swami re-
ceived word of his assistant, J. Z. Smith,
who is looking up missing witnesses in
he vicinity Of Boston, that his quest has
been more successful than he dreamed.
Judge Swami received two kilograms
from Mr.. Smith. One read:
Got what I came for"
Inasmuch as Mr.. Smith and Detective
McGlynn went to Boston to look up wit
nesses against policemen who have been
spirited away, his brief message was
highly satisfactory to Judge Swami.
Shortly after Mr.. Smith again tele-
graphed:
Everything O. X. Get man who is the
est witness Of threats to get out"
The trail Of the missing witnesses led
Mr.. Smith and his detectives to Revere
Beach today. When word went out that
Smith and his associates were on their
way to Boston, a number of white slavers
made hasty Journey there. They are
doing their utmost to forestall the efforts
of Judge Swami. but thus far they seem
to have met with little success.

Kansas is another of those ordinar-

counted safely for Hughes.

plurality will be reduced-in the view

Bristow. one of the followers of the
progressive movement, though he never
left the Republican party, thinks thai
it will be $1,000.
Hughes assailed the "extravagance" OF
