 After he entered the house, ac- cording to Estes story, he pulled off his coat and vest, when another negro woman picked them up and ran out at the back door. He says he had his money in the coat pocket, and when he saw the woman make her exit with his cash, he followed her. After short chase he gained on her so closely that she threw his coat and vest down but continued to run un- til she entered house near by.
 When he searched his pockets, Es- tes found that his money was gone. and he called on the police for help to recover it. Early yesterday morning Viola Gillum and Nes:ey Edwards, two negro women were arrested by Officers Rea and Lahier, and before noon yesterday Chief Bryan and Offl- cer Tennison placed Kate Knox and Lizzie Nelson, two other women in jail as suspects.

PLAN NEW MOVE ON BOIL WEEyn
Creation of Series of Zones Is Propos.
 ed in Bill to Appear In Congress.

Washington, Dec. 6.-Creation of series of zones in the South, in which no cotton could be grown for one year, as means of checking and extermin- ating the boil weevil in this country will be proposed in bill which Sena- l tor Smith of South Carolina said to- day he soon will offer. The senato~ | proposes than the nongrowing area shall be started in the extreme north eastern limit of the cotton section and gradually work southward and west ward in a series of zones 100 miles wide each year until the entire cotto- growing section shall have been cov- cred.
 The federal government would be see that the law is observed and grow CTS and ginners affected would be com pensated by the government. Experts estimate that it would cost $25,OO0,OOO year to maintain the boil weevil zone in Alabama, which Senator Smith pro- posed a year ago.
 The first year the cotton prohibitive zone would include the extreme east ern portions of North Carolina and South Carolina. The next year this zone would be released and the non- productive area extended 100 miles and this rotation would be kept up un- til the entire territory had been cov- cred.
 Approved by Experts.
 Chronological authorities have ap- proved the zone system as tLa only practical means of exterminating the toll weevil," said Senator Smith. "'The cost would be infinitesimal as compar- ed to the benefits. Six hundred million dollars has been expended to eradicate ] the boil weevil, but it thrives and is moving rapidly toward the fields of North and South Carolina.
 ''The zone system would prove the practicability of this method of ex- terminating the boil weevil and by giv- ing farmers opportunity to grow other crops would demonstrate whether the South can successfully grow other food products.

Rljl,IUk WAR
 ii. CHIHUAHUA
VrcCs C. l .eyino and Murguia Said to Be EEga;,od iH a Street Battle. tarranza Forces are Said to
 &.ayc Been Routed.

Fl Paso Dec. While bitter civil war is raging in Chihuahua City be- tween three of the members of power full Carranza generals, following a street fight in which the troops of Gen. erals Trev.no were engaged with those of Murguia and Ozuna, Villistas arc seizing the opportunity to make hay and have almost annihilated a Car 'anza force southwest of Chihuahua City, between Polomos and Fresno The fighting in that district still con- tinues according to reports late to- night.
 General Gonzales has sent 600 men 20 cannon and 12 machine guns to Chi huahua City after the demoralized Car ranzistas were driven from Fresno to- wards the capital, where things are . i'll more demoralized because of the l'ssention among the leaders of the lefacto forces.
 TrevinO Leaves City.
 General Murguia's attempt to arrest General Trevino, who commanded the Chihuahua City garrison when Villa took the city. precipitated actual hos tilities between the Carranza generals. After street fight Trevino is said to have left Chlhuahua City with his forces.
 Everything now points to a bitter Civil War between the leaders of the Constitutionalist armies General Mur- 5uia is an adherent of General Obre- gon. Ozuna is on the fence Gonzales S Trevino man. but is disposed to play safe and aid General Murguia so far as he can.
 General Murgia has been attempt ing to organize the Carranza forces for a concerted pursuit of Villa, but the internal strife is preventing this acton. Federal agents here are wat ching developments with interest. as General Trevino, with a large part of his forces still is at liberty, despite Murguias threat to arrest him. Gen. aral Murguia is said to have granted amnesty to 400 prisoners in the state penitentiary of Chihuahua.
 Carranza Force Routed.
 Fighting between the Villa rear guard and the Carranza outposts fiji the vicinity of Fresno, is continuing. The command of General Maycotte is said to have been cut to pieces and General Macotte killed. However, he was reported killed in action a month ago.
 Business men of Chihuahua Ci y, who have been in Ell Paso are making no 2lanS to return. They say that Villa only is waiting for the city to be cestocked With supplies and ammuni- ton when he will attack again.
 There is some doubt about the au- thenticity of tte reports of the death of the Englishman, Synman. His rela- lives in Presidio doubt that he is dead. Federal agents here are making an ef- fort to clear up the matter Refugees say that the reports of Villa atroci- ties in Chihuahua have been greatly exaggerated.
